  • During Obama's 2008 presidential campaign, it was revealed that BRAD PITT is a ninth cousin to the 44th president. The link is EDWIN HICKMAN, who died in Virginia in 1769, the Guardian reported in 2009. Obama is a direct descendant of Hickman's son JAMES HICKMAN, through the president's mother, ANN DUNHAM.

The article from Politico's West Wing Playbook, titled "God, Trump and Pancakes," discusses the intertwining of religion and politics at a recent event in Iowa where former President Donald Trump spoke at a breakfast hosted by the Family Leader, a prominent Christian conservative group. Trump, who has been actively courting evangelical voters, used the platform to reinforce his image as a defender of Christian values, despite his personal controversies. The event featured a mix of political rhetoric and religious fervor, with attendees engaging in prayer and Trump receiving endorsements from key evangelical leaders. The piece highlights how Trump's appeal to evangelicals remains strong, focusing on his promises to protect religious freedoms and his past actions like appointing conservative Supreme Court justices. However, it also notes the tension between Trump's personal behavior and the moral standards typically upheld by evangelical communities, illustrating the complex dynamics of faith, politics, and personal loyalty in contemporary American politics.
