It's Friday! March Madness! St. Patrick's Day Eve!

What more could one ask for?  Well, let's see - not being these folks?

Donald Trump Jr.'s wife filed for divorce this week, which I'm sure was not a surprise to him, the way it came out so cleanly and without a whole lot of fanfare or acrimony.

Although, according to reports Mrs. Trump has retained a criminal attorney to handle her case. Divorce is rarely pleasant for anyone involved, especially kids (the Trump Jr.'s have five), and it would be worse if there were bad acts outside the ones that usually lead to the dissolution of a marriage.  If she truly needs a criminal attorney, versus your typical garden-variety high-powered divorce attorney, I hope she and the kids are OK.

Rex Tillerson is out as Sec State; a long running battle orchestrated by the president will soon be over; and  Tillerson, the man who allegedly called the president a bleeping moron can go off into the sunset with his ExxonMobil millions, and a healthy break on capital gains taxes, with the Christmas present we got from the Republican tax cut. There's still some confusion as to whether Trump's General John Kelly let Tillerson know he should resign before he got fired on Twitter, or whether he was just told to watch for a tweet that was related to him. Either way, I'm happy he's out and can go do something else, if he wants, or nothing if he'd rather.

Moving on to others in the Trump circle of influence, I learned this week (others who pay more attention were probably aware sooner) that Judge Roy Moore is broke.  Moore, an alleged sexual predator, was endorsed by the president, an proud sexual predator, but ended up losing his Alabama Senate race to Doug Jones.

In a social media post in which he spoke of  "the liberal media, in association with some who want to destroy our Country..." which apparently include "Gays, lesbians and transgenders" who "have joined forces with those who believe in abortion, sodomy and destruction of all that we hold dear", he asked for money for his legal defense from the women who allege Moore abused them.

Oh - there's this, too, in that plea for money..

PS. The political Left is filled with men and women whose sole aim in life is to overthrow our God-ordained rights which are guaranteed in the US Constitution. It is your responsibility and mine to stand up to this vile encroachment on our rights,and defend that for which the Founding Fathers sacrificed so greatly. Please send a generous gift today to the Roy Moore Legal Defence Fund to help me defeat, once and for all, those who would destroy America in order to usher in their anti-Christian "kingdom." May the lord richly bless you as you stand with me in this critical fight.

And, of course, just the other day another Trump endorsee (with no known sexual abuse allegations against him, as far as I know) lost another special election in a reliably red district.
