Donald Trump Jr. wanted to put a baby in his mistress, and cried because he was afraid that his wife would take his children away.

Courtesy of US Weekly: 

Donald Trump Jr. and Aubrey O’Day’s affair was much more than a one-night stand, so much so that they even considered the prospect of starting a family together, a source reveals exclusively in the new issue of Us Weekly.

“Don told Aubrey he wanted to have a baby with her,” the insider says. “They were trying for one.”

Wow, more unprotected sex.

I guess the apple does not fall far from the STD riddled tree.

The affair ended after Junior's wife found emails between her husband and O'Day.

But that did not stop Junior from making late night calls:

But even after the affair ended, Trump Jr. — who was the father of Kai, now 10, Donald III, 9, and Tristan, 6, at the time, and later welcomed Spencer, 5, and Chloe, 3 — still had the reality star on his mind. 

“He’d call Aubrey and leave long voicemails telling her he still loved her over and over,” the source tells Us. “He’d cry and say he was nervous his wife would take the kids away.

Well that's...fucking pathetic. 

And look his wife did leave him, and she is almost certainly going to try and take his kids away from him.

Well hey, maybe O'Day is available for impregnation, and Junior can look forward to ANOTHER custody battle in his future.

Because let's face it, these Trump folks never learn.

The wife of Donald Trump's eldest son files for divorce.

Courtesy of Page Six:  

Vanessa Trump filed for divorce against her husband Donald Trump Jr. late Thursday in Manhattan Supreme Court. 

The president’s daughter-in-law filed for an uncontested proceeding, meaning she’s not expecting a legal battle over custody of the couple’s five children or their assets. 

They were married in 2005.

I would actually not be surprised if all of the Trump's end up in divorce court by the time we get to 2020.

Let's face it all of the idiots that married into this family did so for money.

I mean does anybody think that Eric Trump attracted this woman with his looks, charm, or savoir faire?

Hell no. She saw an easy way to get rich, and she took it.

But now that the Trump brand is so badly damaged, and investors are starting to flee like rats leaving a sinking ship, these women (and Jared), are likely going to start reevaluating their options.

But the divorce that I am most certain about is the one between these two.

There was clearly not much holding them together before the election, and now with the Trump brand in tatters, and the Stormy Daniels' allegations thrown into the mix, I just do not see Melania staying once her contract is up.

I would say that the Evangelicals are about to have a "come to Jesus" moment, but those idiots could not find Jesus if he was standing at the foot of their bed when they woke up in the morning.

In attempt to make connection to real celebrity Bristol Palin claims to have read a book.

OMGD you guys! I just tried to read a book.

Courtesy of the Daily Mail:

As she copes with her recent split from her estranged husband Dakota Meyer, Bristol Palin is leaning on her Christian faith and reading the inspirational book Chris Pratt relied on during his breakup with his wife Anna Faris. 

The 27-year-old mother-of-three took to Instagram Stories on Wednesday to share a photo of Pastor Chad Veach's book 'Faith Forward Future: Moving Past Your Disappointments, Delays, and Destructive Thinking.' 

'I saw this on @prattprattpratt ig awhile ago, it is such a great read if you need a little kick in the @$$ (becoming a book worm lately),' she wrote. 

Let me just say that as somebody who has read way more than his share of Bristol text messages I find it quite unlikely that she could even sound out three syllable words without a tutor sitting right next to her. 

And as for her "Christianity" let me just say that her appearances at any Wasilla church while growing up were few and far between.

Christianity is just the disguise that the Palins wear in an attempt to hide their true nature.

I would not be at all surprised if Bristol actually held out some hope that Chris Pratt, of "Guardians of the Galaxy" fame, might actually reach out to her in response to this article and give her the opportunity to start working on making him her next sugar daddy.

After all a girl has needs.

And for a Palin those needs are mostly financial.

So Bristol Palin is now back in Texas to continue her divorce battle with Dakota Meyer.

Courtesy of the Daily Mail: 

Bristol Palin has returned to Texas after spending some time quality time with her family in her home state of Alaska amid reports her husband Dakota Meyer has filed for divorce. 

The 27-year-old mother-of-three, who has two daughters with Dakota, took to Instagram on Wednesday to post a snapshot of herself enjoying the Alaskan winter with her two-year-old Sailor Grace. 

'Already missing AK,' she captioned the image, which shows her eldest daughter bundled up in a bright pink snow suit while cuddled in her arms. 

Of course leaving Alaska means that Bristol will be isolated from her support network that she relies on so completely.

What? No Track?

Broken families like this always seem to create a meme of "It's us against the world," which both binds them together and deepens their family pathology.

 On her own Bristol is fairly fragile and cannot stand up for herself without breaking down and making it worse.

During her custody battle with Levi she seduced Dakota into becoming her white knight and used him as her go between when she was on the ropes.

Kind of makes me wonder what poor Texas SOB she has targeted to fight her fight this time?

(P.S. I kind of enjoy talking about this fucked up family again. After all covering the school shootings, Trump presidency, and decline of America can be so depressing sometimes.)

Sarah Palin loses it over fact that daughter's soon to be ex-husband is sticking her with the attorney fees.

Courtesy of Radar Online:  

Mama grizzly Sarah Palin is roaring mad over her estranged son-in-law’s bid to get her daughter, Bristol, to pay his legal fees in the couple’s bitter divorce, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively! 

In papers filed in Texas’ Travis County, Bristol’s baby daddy — Medal of Honor recipient Dakota Meyer — asked the judge to force Bristol to cover his “attorney fees, expenses and costs through the trial.” 

“Sarah is furious!” dished a source close to the former GOP vice presidential candidate.

“What’s really beyond any reasonable expectation is Dakota’s belief that Bristol would EVER give him any money for this divorce!” said an insider.

Man I knew this was going to be entertaining! 

Clearly Dakota knows that the Palins simply do NOT pay for things, so attempting to get them to pay the legal bills will force them to shell out thousands of dollars to fight that, or convince them to settle things quickly to keep the costs low.

If the Palins choose to fight, Dakota can simply air their dirty laundry on gossip sites for thousands of dollars to pay his own legal fees.

Come on, we KNOW that Dakota knows all about what was really going on with Track, and with other Palin family members.

He must have hundreds of embarrassing stories to tell.

Ka-ching, Ka-ching.

People Magazine got a hold of the divorce papers Dakota Meyer filed against Bristol Palin.

Courtesy of People Magazine:  

Bristol Palin‘s husband, Dakota Meyer, has officially filed for divorce after less than two years of marriage. 

The Medal of Honor recipient tried to keep the split under wraps by using only his and Palin’s initials in the documents, but PEOPLE has obtained the papers filed in a Travis County court in Austin, Texas. 

According to the papers, Meyer said he (D.L.M.) and Palin (B.S.M.M.) are in the process of separating and cited “discord or conflict of personalities” as the reason for their split. The discord, the papers said, “destroys the legitimate ends of the marriage relationship and prevents any reasonable expectation of reconciliation.”

Meyer, who shares two young daughters with Palin, Atlee Bay, 9 months, and Sailor Grace, 2, said he believes he and Palin will enter into a written agreement over the custody of their children as well as the division of their estate. (Their estate?)


 A source knowledgeable of the situation tells PEOPLE Meyer moved out of their home in Austin, Texas, around Christmas.

Yep, around Christmas. That is another thing the IM sleuths got right. 

On the divorce papers, which can be seen here, it appears that Dakota made this move to protect some of his assets which he believes are not part of the marriage agreement.

It is also fairly plain that he anticipates a fight and has circled his wagons in preparation.

In other words, yes this could be yet another ugly Palin legal battle.

Well hopefully they will not schedule it for March 27th, Track's trial date, or the Palins will not know which courtroom to show up in to watch their family fall apart.

Splitsville 2.0: Dakota Meyer and Bristol Palin are reportedly no longer together.

I think this is when we knew the relationship was doomed.

Courtesy of the Daily Mail: 

Dakota Meyer has filed for divorce from Bristol Palin a source tells DailyMail.com. 

The veteran filed paperwork two weeks ago according to the source, and move dout of the couple's Austin home around Christmas. 

The couple were married in a private ceremony back in 2016, a little over a year after calling of their first wedding just days before the ceremony. 

They have two daughters, 2-year-old Sailor and Atlee Bay, who was born back in May. Bristol, 27, also has a 9-year-old son Tripp from her relationship with fiancee Levi Johnston. 

Dakota also blocked Bristol on social media says the source. 

Well I guess it's time for some IM sleuths to give themselves a little pat on the back.

There were certainly signs that not everything was going well with these two, but until today there was no definitive information.

Until today that is.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY MOMMA 😍😍 thank you for being my voice of reason, my strongest supporter, and my greatest friend ❤️🥂 to 54 #54how #bionic

A post shared by Bristol Meyer (@bsmp2) on Feb 11, 2018 at 8:42pm PST

There is already an Instagram photo which seem to indicate that Bristol is back in Alaska for her mom's birthday, and I would not be surprised if that became permanent.

After all, where else is she going to go?

Which makes me wonder if we are not in for another very public custody battle.

You know like the one that started this whole doomed relationship in the first place.
I have a feeling that things are about to get ugly, very ugly.

But then again when have things not been ugly with this family?

The Mooch is demanding a paternity test in latest chapter of his bitter divorce from wife number two.

Courtesy of Page Six: 

Anthony Scaramucci’s divorce is turning nasty, because he believes the newborn son whose birth he missed during his historically-brief tenure in the White House is not his – and he is demanding a paternity test. 

A source tells Page Six The Mooch believes estranged wife Deidre Ball could have been impregnated by someone else while he was away building his now famously-failed political career for President Donald Trump. 

Deidre, we are told, is horrified by the claim and insists the child is Scaramucci’s. And she has upped the stakes by hiring top Manhattan divorce attorneys Bernard Clair and Dan Rottenstreich from the powerful firm Cohen Clair Lans Griefer Thorpe & Rottenstreich LLP in order to make mincemeat of The Mooch in court.

Where's Jerry Springer when you need him?

Actually paternity should be fairly easy to establish.

If the infant babbles a mile a minute, and demands his own hair and makeup person, it's the Mooch's.

In other Mooch news it appears he now has a co-hosting gig on The View.

As if I needed another reason not to watch that damn show.

The Mooch's wife files for divorce. Tired of his "naked political ambition."

Courtesy of Page Six: 

Anthony Scaramucci, the White House’s potty-mouthed new communications director, has been dumped by his beautiful blond wife because of his “naked political ambition,” multiple sources exclusively tell Page Six. 

Deidre Ball, who worked as a vice president in investor relations for SkyBridge Capital, the firm he founded in 2005 and sold to ascend to the White House, has filed for divorce from “The Mooch” after three years of marriage after getting fed up with his ruthless quest to get close to President Trump, whom she despises. 

One source told Page Six, “Deidre has left him and has filed for divorce. She liked the nice Wall Street life and their home on Long Island, not the insane world of D.C. She is tired of his naked ambition, which is so enormous that it left her at her wits’ end. She has left him even though they have two children together.”

Well good for her!

And who could blame her, after all Scaramucci was cheating on her, by spending all of his time with his lips attached to Trump's Cheeto colored ass.

For his part the Mooch is not denying this story.

Leave civilians out of this. I can take the hits, but I would ask that you would put my family in your thoughts and prayers & nothing more.

— Anthony Scaramucci (@Scaramucci) July 28, 2017

Family does not need to be drawn into this. Soon we will learn who in the media has class and who doesn't. No further comments on this.

— Anthony Scaramucci (@Scaramucci) July 29, 2017

It is not classless to report on the marriages of prominent White House personnel.

Nobody should have an expectation of privacy when they take that job.

Besides the Mooch might have even more pressing concerns when it comes to what is being reported.

Okay WHEN are people going to realize that Donald Trump is a swirling black hole of misfortune for all who get too close?

We used to always joke about the "Palin curse" but seriously it was NOTHING compared to the chronic misfortune that befalls Trump supporters. 

Time to straighten out some facts about Splitsville. With assistance from Levi Johnston.

So as most of you know the 2009 post "Splitsville" was one of my biggest and most controversial posts of all time.

It was packed with all sorts of explosive and at that time unknown information about Sarah Palin, her marriage, and her plans for the future.

Unfortunately as it turns out much of it was also bullshit.

As most of you already know my source for the Splitsville story was Tank Jones who I had hired as a private investigator.

There is always a risk going with a single source on a story, but since Jones was both a well respected and licensed private investigator with unfettered access to Levi Johnston, there was literally no reason to question the "facts" that he was sharing with me.

At the time of the post Sarah Palin had essentially disappeared from Twitter and Facebook and people were wondering what was going on behind the scenes.

My post filled in a gap left by her sudden silence.

As time went on I became aware that some of the things that I predicted in the post did not come to pass, and that some of the things that Tank shared with me were never backed up with facts from any other news outlets or even gossip sites.

However until I talked with Levi I was never sure which things were for sure incorrect, and which things were true but never confirmed.

So let's just go through the post and knock them out one by one.

The first one, and the biggest reveal, was that Sarah and Todd were planning to end their marriage.

According to Levi yes that was accurate, and it was something that they argued and threatened each other with all of the time.

In fact the reason why the post blew up the way that it did is because my friend Dennis Zaki, who had home phone numbers for some of Palin's former staff members, was able to confirm that the story of their marriage falling apart was well known within that tight circle.

Of course the marriage remains, on the surface, still intact. However I have heard from other sources, not Levi, that the marriage is all for show and that part of the reason they will not simply get a divorce is because Palin refuses to give me, and others, the satisfaction of knowing we were right.

(Actually to be honest I find this staying together to spite me even more satisfying.)

The land purchase in Montana.

Yeah, that was bullshit. I have no idea why Tank told me that, but according to Levi he never heard them talk about it. And of course they ended up buying land in Arizona not Montana.

The missing wedding ring thrown into Lake Lucille.

Levi has no idea where that story came from, but it did not come from him.

(He did confirm the portion about loud arguments and Sarah's emotional distress however.)

The story of the Todd pulling a gun on Levi.

Now this one is particularly upsetting because even before I talked to Tank about the story, and had it confirmed by him, I was asked by another reporter in town whether I had heard it or not. Based on the fact that it was heard by others and Tank confirmed it, I felt confident in reporting it on the blog.

I should not have done so, because according to Levi it never happened.

In fact though things were strained between Levi and Todd on several occasions for the most part he always liked Todd.

In the post I also mentioned Levi's upcoming Vanity Fair article, which up until then nobody had heard about. In that article Levi confirmed a number of things mentioned on the Splitsville post.

The final part of the post was about Sherry Johnston's conviction for selling Oxycontin and yes Levi, along with his whole family, believe that Palin set her up.

Levi does not like to talk about that much, but my take is that he feels that it was a warning as to what Palin was willing to do to keep him in line.

In many ways Levi remains intimidated by the Palins and is afraid of what they might do in retaliation for things that he talks about publicly.

For all of you who are constantly complaining about folks in Alaska not divulging secrets about the Sarah Palin and her family, just imagine hearing how people were jailed, fired from their jobs, or run out of town for doing so, and you might understand why certain people in the know might decide it was better simply to keep that information to themselves.

Now I have more posts coming on this topic, but with all that is happening in politics, and the requirements from my actual job, I do not have the hours needed to devote to them right now.

I will post them when I can. Which will hopefully be soon.

Family values warrior Bill O'Reilly loses custody of his children.

Bill O'Reilly and now ex-wife Maureen McPhilmy

Courtesy of New York Daily News: 

Bill O’Reilly can’t put a spin on this: his kids don’t want to live with him. 

A New York appeals court has upheld a ruling that denied the Fox News host status as sole decision-maker for the 16-year-old daughter and 12-year old-son he had with his ex-wife, Maureen McPhilmy. 

“There is a sound and substantial basis for the Supreme Court's determination that it is in the best interests of the children for the mother to be awarded primary residential custody,” the four-judge Appellate Division panel wrote. 

“Particularly relevant in this case are the clearly stated preferences of the children, especially considering their age and maturity, and the quality of the home environment provided by the mother.”

Could not happen to a more deserving guy if you ask me. 

Bill O'Reilly is an arrogant, misogynistic bully that you just KNOW mistreated both his children and his wife.

I love it when these blowhards who are also telling everybody else how to live, are revealed to be raging hypocrites whose own lives serve are the complete opposite of their public image.

Gee I'm trying to remember who that reminds me of.

Uh oh! it looks like Bristol Palin's fiance has some 'spalining to do.

I just want to wish the best mother I know a Happy Mothers Day! Thank you for being the amazing woman that you are! @bsmp2 #mother #futurewife #outpfmyleague #shesthebest #13days #NeverOutGunned

A photo posted by Dakota (@dakotameyer0317) on May 10, 2015 at 6:40pm PDT

So this was the Mother's Day post put up by Dakota yesterday.

Sweet, right?

Boy that Bristol is one lucky gal. She is about to marry an honest to goodness war hero who has been saving himself until she came along.

Though it is kind of odd that he waited until his late twenties to finally tie the knot.

What's that you say? He didn't wait?

Nope he sure didn't.

Let's see Dakota married a Cassandra Marie Wain, a woman two years his senior, in May of 2008, when Dakota was only nineteen years old. And they were married in the Shiloh Cumberland Presbyterian Church near Campbellsville, KY.

Hmm, now though there is a record of the actual marriage, I have as yet been unable to find any record of a divorce.

I'm not saying there isn't one, just that there is no online information to confirm that there's one.

Meyer's Wikipedia page does not even mention the marriage, though of course it has been updated to include his recent engagement to Bristol. (By the way that engagement ring really was bought by Sarah.)

I located a Facebook page for Cassandra Marie Wain, and she is a beautiful young lady so one can only imagine what caused the breakup. However it was a year after they were married that Dakota recovered those bodies in Afghanistan that earned him the Medal of Honor, and of course triggered his PTSD. So that might have been it.

Okay so now we know that Bristol's fiance is a suicidal, PTSD suffering, ex-soldier, whose previous marriage failed.

Sounding better and better all of the time, don't you think?

New study claims that marriages between gay Mormon men and women almost always end in divorce. Shocked! That's what I am, shocked!

Courtesy of The Salt Lake Tribune:  

The LDS couples profiled on TLC’s "My Husband Is Not Gay" may find these statistics sobering: Marriages like theirs — same-sex attracted husbands and straight wives — are two to three times more likely to end in divorce than others. 

That finding and others come from a newly released in-depth survey of 1,612 self-selected LGBT/same-sex attracted Mormons and former Mormons, thought by researchers to be the largest study ever conducted with this population. 

Rather than tapping a random sample, John Dehlin, a doctoral student at Utah State University, and Bill Bradshaw, a retired Brigham Young University professor, with help from Renee Galliher, also of USU, solicited responses via various websites, including pro-Mormon outlets such as North Star International and those more critical such as Dehlin’s own "Mormon Stories" podcast. 

The study found that: 

• Between 51 percent and 69 percent of mixed-orientation Mormon marriages end in divorce, well above the roughly 25 percent of LDS couples who split up. 

• More than 70 percent of LGBT/same-sex attracted Mormons leave the LDS Church. 

• 80 percent of respondents reported undergoing efforts to change their sexual orientation — 85 percent of which were religious and private efforts, 31 percent were private efforts only, 40 percent therapist-led and 21 percent group efforts. 

• 53 percent rejected their religious identity; 37 percent compartmentalized their sexual and religious identities; 6 percent rejected their LGBT identity; 4 percent integrated the two.

Not exactly an earth shattering study however it confirms what most of us already know as fact, if you are not attracted to women, then you really cannot fake it.

Nor should you be forced to try.

Even if they let you appear on TV for doing so.

Open Carry advocate kills husband and stepdaughter. Then drives herself to a mental hospital.

Veronica Dunnachie supporting Open Carry in Tarrant County

Courtesy of The Dallas Morning News:

An Arlington woman faces a charge of capital murder Wednesday after two people were discovered dead in her home, police said. 

Officials said they were treating the slayings as a domestic homicide. Veronica Dunnachie, 35, is being held in the Arlington City Jail, said Sgt. Jeffrey Houston, a police spokesman. Bail had not yet been set. 

The victims had not been identified and the cause of death had not been released.

Since this article the bodies were identified as her estranged husband Russ Dunnachie and his adult daughter.

After the slayings the suspect drove herself to Millwood Hospital, a mental health facility, where she was taken into custody. She was uninjured.

Separations, divorces,  child custody battles, happen everyday in this country. Usually there are harsh words, recriminations, and lawyer fees.

But when you see the world as a dangerous place, and carry a gun on your person for protection, a verbal confrontation can escalate into something far more dangerous than simply hurtful words.

Despite what the NRA might want all of us to believe, in this case at least the presence of a gun is directly responsible for the taking of life, not the protection of life.

The equation is simple; no gun = no death.

Bristol Palin speaks out about her parents divorce. By denying any such thing is happening. Update: From the Grizzled Mama herself.

Here is the big splashy picture that Brancy put on the blog to demonstrate the Palins deep and abiding financial contract love for each other. (A love by the way that seems only on display when they know there is a camera pointed at them.)

Then Bristol's ghostwriter uses her literary talents to wax eloquent about the love between these two people:  

Aw… so sad. 

I just read an article on Yahoo’s front page about my family. 

According to some random reporter, my parents are getting divorced… 

I find something new about my family every day! 

(Of course, the article and most of what the media reports about our family is complete garbage.)

"The media reports about our family IS complete garbage." Seriously? 

For this they need a ghostwriter?

I swear good help is so hard to find these days.

Of course these new rumors have resurfaced after Palin was spotted in Anchorage without her wedding ring earlier this week.

However rumors of a Palin divorce have bubbled to the surface, time, and time again.

Now I can't remember who first suggested that the Palins are getting a divorce, or at least no longer living together as man and wife, but since that time Sarah has been spotted repeatedly without her ring, and often without Todd all over the country.

In fact there is plenty of evidence to suggest that Palin spends the majority of her time in Arizona, while Todd remains in Alaska .

But hey, what am I saying? If Bristol Palin's ghostwriter says that there is nothing to these rumors, then why would we argue?

After all when was the last time that the Palins lied to cover up the truth?

Update:  Well look who has decided to weigh on the "rumors" as well: 

I love my Bristol! My straight-shooter is one of the strongest young women you'll ever meet. I have to say this as a proud mama: right up there with their work ethic and heart for those less fortunate, my kids' defense of family makes my heart soar! As you can imagine, they and my extended family have experienced so many things (liberal media-driven) that may have crushed others without a strong foundation of faith, and I'm thankful for our friends' prayer shield that surrounds them, allowing faith to remain their anchor. Thank you, prayer warriors! I love you!

She then links to the Brancy post above.

Okay so stories about divorce are important enough for both Bristol and Sarah's ghostwriters to weigh in on but nothing about the drunken brawl that is all over the internet and television?

In the immortal words of the Bard,  "The lady doth protest too much, methinks."

"Lady" being used in its broadest sense of course.

President of Texas anti-gay movement's ex-wife left him for another woman. Hmm, if only we could figure out why he doesn't like gay people.

Courtesy of Lone Star Q:

Mere months before Jonathan Saenz became president of the anti-gay group Texas Values, his wife left him for another woman, according to Hays County district court records obtained by Lone Star Q. 

The revelation could help explain Saenz’s seemingly abrupt transformation from socially conservative lobbyist to homophobic firebrand. 

Saenz, a devout Catholic, has been a right-wing operative in Texas for many years — working on abortion and religious liberty cases as a staff attorney for the Plano-based Liberty Legal Institute as far back as 2005. 

However, it wasn’t until recently that Saenz emerged as one of the state’s best-known — and most extreme — anti-LGBT voices. 

Court records indicate that Saenz’s ex-wife, Corrine Morris Rodriguez Saenz, is a member of the LGBT community who was dating another woman when she filed for divorce from Saenz in August 2011. 

In early 2012, with their divorce still pending, Saenz would take the helm of Texas Values after the organization spun off from the Liberty Legal Institute, where he’d risen to chief lobbyist.

Since becoming president Saenz has been very aggressive in fighting against marriage equality and other gay rights. 

You know I have known a few men that have experienced this situation. I don't know ANY that have becoming raging homphobes as the result however.

When I was talking to one of my friends I said that in some ways it was better that she had left him for a woman instead of a man.

When he asked in what way, I replied "Because when a woman leaves you for another man you might ask yourself what they have that you don't have? But in this case you know exactly what they have that you don't have, and that's just nature's fault not yours."

And then I added, "Besides now you can literally tell people that your wife left you because you were too much man for her."

This Saenz guy must be awash in insecurities for this to have had the impact on him that it seems to have had.

Just imagine, if his wife had left him for a black guy he would probably have joined the Klan. 

One year ago George Zimmerman thought he got of scott free for murder, today he is jobless, millions in debt, and essentially destitute.

Somehow I doubt he is laughing now.

Courtesy of the Orlando Sentinel:  

George Zimmerman has no job, no home, no income but spends $100 a month on vacations and $200 a month on psychological counseling, according to a financial affidavit he recently filed in his divorce case. 

According to it, he spends $3,304 a month, despite having no income. 

He listed his total assets at $14,000 – most of that is his 2008 Honda pickup. His debts total $2.5 million, most of that is money he owes criminal defense attorneys Mark O'Mara and Don West. 

According to his paperwork, Zimmerman has no job, pays nothing for rent or a mortgage and has no health insurance. 

He spends $350 a month for medical care plus $200 a month for psychological, psychiatric or mental health counseling. 

He also spends $100 a month on vacations, he wrote. 

Zimmerman's legal defense fund, which raised more than $400,000, now has a balance of $300, according to the affidavit. 

It is not clear what happened to any money he earned from the sale of a painting on eBay in December. The winning bid was $100,000. There is no mention of it in his affidavit. 

His banking account has $650, he reported. 

In an interview last month, Zimmerman's brother, Robert Zimmerman Jr., said the former Neighborhood Watch volunteer is homeless and moves from place to place, sleeping in the homes of friends and supporters.

Gee I guess it really does not pay to kill an innocent teenager. Even if you DO initially get away with it.

By the way is this guy sharing the same accountant as SarahPAC? Nothing seems to add up as to how he supports himself.

Goods guy with a gun, kills bad ex-wife and new boyfriend, in front of 100 good people who did nothing.

Courtesy of Raw Story:  

An Illinois man reportedly fatally shot his ex-wife and her new boyfriend at a high school reunion in East Peoria over the weekend before being killed by an off-duty FBI officer. 

WEEK reported that 33-year-old Lori A. Moore and her boyfriend, 36-year-old Lance E. Griffel, (pictured, above) were at The Fifth Quarter Sports Bar and Pizzeria on Saturday, when 40-year-old Jason A. Moore walked in and shot them both in the head at pointblank range. 

Lori Moore was there to attend her reunion for East Peoria Community High School Class of 1999. More than 100 attendees witnessed the shooting. 

According to the New York Daily News, an off-duty FBI officer shot and killed Jason Moore. 

“It’s very difficult to say. You can play the ‘what if’ game over and over again, but I think it’s pretty clear in his case the presence of this officer and his ability to take very quick and very decisive action prevented a further tragedy,” East Peoria Police Chief Ganschow explained. 

Lori Moore and her boyfriend were pronounced dead at OSF St. Francis Hospital several hours after the shooting.

The NRA will tell you repeatedly that access to guns keeps us safe, but I think we all know that the VAST number of gun deaths are muhc like this one, the result of a crime of passion, or an accident, or simply somebody angry at the world who kills for no discernible reason. 

Of course we can never make and absolute determination as to how many people are killed by guns, and for what reason, becasue the NRA has been actively blocking efforts by the CDC to gather that data.

Which is odd if in deed they were confident in their belief that guns keep us safe, don't you think?

The daughters of Wendy Davis have had enough!

After hearing about the absolutely horrendous attacks against their mother, the daughters decided to respond.

Open Letter from Dru Davis  

My name is Dru Davis and I am Wendy Davis's daughter. I hate that I feel the need to write this, but I have been reading and hearing so many untrue things about my mom and I want to set the record straight. And sadly I feel the need to be crystal clear on the malicious and false charge of abandonment as nothing could be further from the truth. 

My mom has always shared equally in the care and custody of my sister and me. My mom had my sister at 19 and although she was technically married for a short period of time, she was handling almost everything on her own. She was working 2 jobs regularly and going to school. She met my dad when Amber was still very young. They had an amazing love that I witnessed for many years. Unfortunately, it didn't last, like so many love stories don't. 

I can tell you that my mom was a remarkable mother and continues to be so to this day. She was there on my first day of school and my last, and so many days in between. She never missed a school performance or a parent-teacher conference. Even if that meant she had to miss something else important. My sister and I were always her first priority. She was there when I needed her and even when I thought I didn't. My mom was my Brownie Troop leader. I still remember camping out in the backyard with my troop after our trip was cancelled because of bad weather. She was also my field hockey team mom during my senior year of high school, not to mention that she went with me to every single field hockey camp, tryout, program that I ever had. She helped me sort through college possibilities, helped me with my applications and visited colleges with me. 

I will never forget our drive to Colorado when she was dropping me off as a freshman at Colorado College. I cried the entire way. I am surprised she made it through that one. And after we got there, she stayed for days making sure every detail of my room was perfect until I finally had to tell her to leave. 

My mom has been my sounding board for everything in my life, from resumes and papers to helping me with relationships. She was and is an amazing mother and has been the greatest role model I could imagine. Whatever happened, whatever difficult things she and my dad went through, she was always there. And I knew I was loved by her, regardless. 

Yes, she went to law school after my sister and I were born. We lived with her the first semester, but I had severe asthma and the weather there wasn't good for me. My parents made a decision for my sister and me to stay in Texas while my mom kept going to school. But that doesn't mean she wasn't there for us. She traveled back and forth all the time, missing so many classes so that she could be with us. Her friends were such a big help. Especially her third year, when she would only go to school two weeks out of the month and her friends would share class notes so she could try to keep up while she was home with us in Fort Worth. 

I love that my mom went to law school and was dedicated to both her work and us. Watching her work so hard to achieve something great has been one of the most important lessons in my life. To this day, I watch my mom greeted and hugged by people who love her and are thankful for things she has done for them. I am proud of her for that. Both of my parents made sacrifices to make education happen for all of us, my sister and me included. And both of them have been great role models for what it means to care about people in the world. 

Open Letter from Amber Davis

My name is Amber Davis and I am Wendy Davis’ oldest daughter. I have spent the past few days reading the ludicrous comments that people have shared on social media about my mother and our family. It is a shame that those who don’t know us feel the need to comment on the details of our lives as if they've lived them. I have a hard time understanding how such hate and negativity can result from one person’s false accusations. 

My mother had me when she was very young, a kid herself. And although she was married for a short period of time, parenthood was her sole responsibility. Yes, we lived in a trailer. Does it matter how long? Not to me. Even though some people have tried to question my own memories; I do remember the trailer, as well as the apartments that we lived in during the years that followed. I know that I was my mother’s first priority and that she wanted a better life for me than the one she was living. She worked 2 jobs and went to community college at night. She refused to repeat the life her family struggled in growing up. 

When I was a toddler, she met my step-dad, Jeff. They shared an immediate connection and I started to realize what it was like to have a real family. They married shortly before I turned five. Not long after they married they had my sister, Dru, the biggest baby I have ever seen. My parents had an amazing marriage for many years. They challenged each other and pushed each other to want more out of life. 

After graduating at the top of her class at TCU, she went on to Harvard law school. Dru and I lived with her the first semester but our parents soon realized that it would be better if we stayed in our childhood home in Texas, be around extended family and attend our regular schools. This was a decision made by both parents. I have recently heard the phrase "abandoned" quite often in the past week. That our mother "left us to be raised by our father" while she went on to pursue her education. Not only is this ridiculously unfair; it's completely untrue. Dru and I have always been her number one priority. Always. And every decision our parents made was with our best interests at heart. We had an amazing support system while she was at Harvard and she was constantly traveling back and forth from school to be with us. I’m proud that my parents were able to make this arrangement work. People should be less concerned about who paid for what and pay more attention to the fact that she was accepted to Harvard law school, a dream she believed was unachievable. 

People have come to know Wendy Davis the politician. But I want people to relate to Wendy Davis, my mother. I have a bond with my mother that is unlike any other. Even as a 31 year old adult, I will forever be referred to as her “Punky Brewster.” She is my best friend - the one I can confide in without judgment. I look up to her and rely on her for guidance and support, even to this very day. She is my rock and has always been a role model in my life. 

My mother has achieved so much despite the odds. Her strength and desire to further her career is an inspiration and a quality I admire most about her. She has always had my full support and I am so proud of her accomplishments. She is a remarkable mother. I don't think she gives herself enough credit sometimes. 

Our family has gone through difficult times just like many others. That’s not news. That's life. I'm sure many people can agree that divorce is certainly not an easy thing to experience. At that time, I was a young adult in college and Dru was in high school and to be clear, no one “lost or gave up custody” of either one of us. But no matter how difficult it was, both of our parents were there for us. And no matter what happened within our family, our mother always made it known that we were and remain the most important thing in her life.

Damn!

I am going to go out on a limb here and say, though they may have had a little editorial help, that these letters were not ghostwritten for these two impressive young women.

Perhaps somebody should tell Bristol Palin that THIS is how it is done. 

MSNBC's Alex Wagner takes on the Right's obsession with attacking Wendy Davis.

"When was the last time that a man running for Governor of Texas, or any statewide office, had to specify who paid for his law degree? Whether or not he had any help with the kids? Exactly when he finalized his divorce? And how many days in trailer qualify as hardship?"

Exactly!

This attack on the Wendy Davis bio is extremely nit picky and the "exaggerations" that were claimed to have been uncovered amounted to virtually nothing. As the Washington Post pointed out a politicians bio is often not entirely accurate, but it is rare to have that cause the candidate any serious trouble in the long run.

And really, comparatively speaking, the inconsistencies in this case are almost negligible.

By the way I really like Alex Wagner, she was my favorite host in the mornings, and now that she has moved her show to Martin Bashir's old slot I make sure to never miss it.
