2. Presidential vote: Is George H.W. Bush voting for Hillary Clinton come November? According to the Facebook account of Kathleen Townsend, Robert Kennedy's daughter, he is. The post on Townsend's account, which is private, is said to show a photo of Townsend shaking hands with the former president. The caption reads, "The President told me he's voting for Hillary!!" A Bush spokesman responded to the story saying, "The vote President Bush will cast as a private citizen in some 50 days will be just that: a private vote cast in 50 days. He is not commenting on the presidential race in the interim."
3. Carrey being sued: Actor Jim Carrey was sued by his late girlfriend's husband Monday. The suit claims Carrey played a part in the death of Cathriona White. Mark Burton, who was married to White when she died, said he wants to show people that Carrey is not the "grieving good guy," but the person who got prescription drugs under a false name and gave them to White. The coroner ruled White died when she overdosed on prescription drugs on Sept. 28, 2015. White was married to Mark Burton when she was seeing Carrey.

Bowl of Skittles policy: Donald Trump Jr. used a bowl of Skittles in a post on Twitter Monday to explain his father's proposed policy on limiting the number of Syrian refugees who would be allowed in the United States.

Let's end the politically correct agenda that doesn't put America first."

The son of a Chinese billionaire has purchased his dog eight iPhone 7 phones, CNN is reporting.
