Under God: The wife of Alabama senate candidate Roy Moore said yesterday her husband will not step down amid accusations that he pursued teenage girls and even molested one of them when he was in his 30s.

  “He will not step down,” Kayla Moore said at a news conference in front of the state capitol in Montgomery. “He will not stop fighting for the people of Alabama.”

Wearing Christian cross earrings, she described her husband as a “man of God.”

The Moores have taken a new tack with the press, making statements, but refusing to answer any questions.

Moore once had a near-lock on winning, but now trails his Democratic opponent, Doug Jones, by eight points with a little less than a month to go before election day. His most ardent supporters say he is the victim of a political hit job.

Bedrock Republicans are forced to choose between morals and politics. The state’s Republican Governor Kay Ivey told reporters she would vote for Moore because it’s important to keep Republican control of the Senate.

President Trump has been silent about Moore, but he stabbed Minnesota Sen. Al Franken via twitter. Trump has denied sexual harassment and groping claims by a long list of women himself. Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said it’s legit because, “Sen. Franken admitted wrongdoing, and the president hasn’t.”

Nation: The Rev. Jesse Jackson, 76, the lifelong civil rights crusader and former presidential candidate, announced that he has Parkinson’s disease, a progressive and ultimately disabling disorder.

In a letter posted on twitter, Jackson said he and his family first noticed symptoms three years ago, but he shrugged it off. “Recognition of the effects of this disease on me has been painful, and I have been slow to grasp the gravity of it,” he wrote.

Symptoms of Parkinson’s include muscle tremors, stiffness, poor balance and coordination. It can create difficulty swallowing.

Biblical: The Museum of the Bible opens to the public for the first time this weekend, just a few blocks from the National Mall in Washington. The $500 million museum houses more than 500 biblical artifacts and the world’s largest private collection of retired Torah scrolls. The money came mostly from Steve Green, the evangelical billionaire and owner of Hobby Lobby, who sued claiming Obamacare’s birth control requirements violated his and the company’s religious liberty.

Never Forget: Don, Jr. and Eric will have to put their guns away for a while. President Trump reversed a Fish and Wildlife Service order to allow trophies taken from elephants in Zimbabwe and Zambia to be brought to the United States. Trump tweeted, “Put big game trophy decision on hold until such time as I review all conservation facts.”

The Obama administration had placed a near-total ban on importing elephant trophies — read that as body parts, including tusks.

Hunters claim the fees they pay go to conservation of the animals they kill — if that makes sense to you.

The Hermit Kingdom: South Korean doctors treating a North Korean soldier who was shot defecting across the border say his intestinal tract was riddled with parasitic worms. It’s a sign of malnutrition and the use of human feces for agricultural fertilizer in the North.

The soldier also is 5-5 and 132 pounds. The average male high school South Korea is 5-8 and 154 pounds.

Plug and Play: Tesla this week unveiled a new electric tractor-trailer that will go 500 miles on a charge. Walmart has pre-ordered 15 of them to see if they can work into the company’s fleet of 6,000 vehicles.

Tesla Boss Elon Musk — who by the way broke up with Johnny Depp’s ex-wife, Amber Heard — says his trucks will be 25 cents a mile cheaper to operate than a diesel. The steering wheel is in the middle with touch screens on both sides and drivers can stand if they want to. A big factor for the Tesla truck, though, is how long the batteries will last, and how expensive they will be to replace.
