Greetings! The Trump marriage is doomed.  That’s the prediction on X from Bruce Barlett, a former Reagan domestic policy advisor.  “I have serious doubt that the Donald-Melania marriage will last much longer. Not because she is shocked by Stormy's testimony, but because Donald no longer needs her. She was his ‘beard,’ allowing him to pretend to be a normal husband. Now there's no longer any point,” he wrote on X…Speaking of Stormy, I sure wish she didn’t say she “hated” Trump on the witness stand yesterday.  Why didn’t the prosecutors coach her to use a less inflammatory phrase like “not a fan”…Peacock is showing a documentary about the porn star who alleged that she had a sex romp with the ex-POTUS…The Washington Free Beacon reports with apparent glee that pro-Palestinian protesters at University of Ottawa committed an unforgivable spelling error.  They spray-painted on the steps of the school’s largest building “Free Palastine.” The Beacon’s headline says it all: “Idiots Against Israel”… And finally, Bugs in the News:  The NY Times reports that Presidential candidate RFK Jr. says doctors found a dead worm in his brain. That explains a lot. The Times also spotlights the joy of eating bugs with the emergence this season of a trillion cicadas.  The Time calls them “lobsters of the trees.”  Hard pass on that for me not matter how you spin it…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.

Greetings! Victory Girls mourns the death of New York City’s famed theater district.  The blog claims Broadway has turned into a “migrant district.” Pray tell why? Because the Square Hotel adjacent to “the great white way” is being used to house migrants and is staffed by National Guardsmen…Judge Juan Merchan keeps threatening Defendant Donald Trump with jail for being in contempt of court.  Merchan’s next step may be to  take a page from Dean Wormer’s “Animal House'' playbook and  put Trump on “double secret probation” (here’s the 18-second clip from the 1978 hit comedy)… Given the P.R disasters Harvard University has experienced as of late, it’s no surprise it’s looking for a new director of public affairs (job listing here), to help manage crisis communications among other tasks.  In a fit of snark, TheWashington Free Beacon offers three possible hires including the former deputy director of digital media and drone warfare for Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City… And speaking of Harvard, this year’s commencement speaker is crusading Filipino journalist Maria Ressa, who compared Israel to Nazi Germany according to The College Fix… New in bookstores: Jen Psaki’s Say More.  The subhead says Psaki offers “lessons from work, the White House, and the World.”  If  you don’t know who she is, this book ain’t for you (but it might be a good Mother’s Day gift for a left-leaning mom)….If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.
