Random Tuesday Morning Thoughts




It began to become real.  (And I had forgotten how badly Chris Christie wanted on that bandwagon.)

  • A third person has died due to the Austin Sixth Street shooting: 30-year-old Jorge Pederson.  Earlier yesterday, it was officially announced that the first two victims were UT student Savitha Shan, 21, and Texas Tech student Ryder Harrington, 19.

    • Video released by TMZ of the immediate aftermath of the shooting revealed two guys taking turns posing for pictures while people were dying a few feet away . 

  • A statute. which was removed from Love Field because if was modeled after Rangers Capt. E.J. “Jay” Banks who helped fight integration at Mansfield High School,  has strangely been unveiled at Globe Life Field.



  • Chaos on the roadways yesterday. 
    • Motorcycles. All of these incidents occurred on Monday.



    • People acting a-fool. Also all yesterday.

  • Look who ran the United Nations Security Counsel yesterday. Yes. Really. If there was ever a need for an interpreter, it was then. 

  • Happening right now.  She's will also be in front of the House committee tomorrow. 

  • Oh, yeah, there's a war that we just casually started. Headlines . . . 
    • Marco Rubio provided the weirdest explanation yet on why Iran was attacked.  Add it to a growing list of contradictory reasons. 
       

    • I don't think they thought this attack through.


    • Trump made a short speech about the war during a Medal of Honor ceremony on Monday morning which was meant to honor three Army soldiers.  Right in the middle of it all, he started talking about the drapes.  Video.

    • The reactions of citizens of Kuwait, who weren't sure who the American pilots were who parachuted down after their planes were shot down from friendly fire, were very different depending on the pilot Video of interaction with the male pilot.  Video of female pilot's interaction.

  • As if there was ever any doubt, the Hillary video deposition about Epstein was released yesterday and we finally learned who it was that asked her about Pizzagate.

  • It's election day which means the ads, flyers, and texts will end.

Random Monday Morning Thoughts







Fifty-six years old and a part-owner of Oklahoma City Thunder.

  • Dangerous times in Wise County: 
  • With no plausible explanation as to why and with no end game in sight, Trump started a war with Iran over the weekend without Congressional authorization. 

    • With an announcement this morning, there are now four U.S. servicemen who have died so far. That's just "the way it is."

    • Three U.S. jets have been shot down by friendly fire. 

    • Trump has yet to address the nation live or hold a press conference. He has only released two videos on social media and, last night, after returning to Washington, he avoided questions and stood far away in the dark. Weird. 
    • Meanwhile, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth was in front of the cameras this morning and engaged in some truly Orwellian speech. 

    • The only question is whether the girls died due to an Israeli or U.S. missile. (No, it wasn't a failed Iranian weapon.) The school was next to to a targeted strike and actually used to be part of the Iranian base. 
    • This is the first time the U.S. and Israel have ever teamed up to start a war. There's probably a reason for that.  
    • This guy is in charge. 
  • Dateline Austin. He wore a hoodie that read “Property of Allah” over a T-shirt bearing an Iranian flag design,  Although he had been in the U.S. since 2007 and was a naturalized citizen, this is just going to fan the anti-Muslim rhetoric. (Video from inside the bar after police have arrived -- disturbing.)


  • This shooting in Fort Worth occurred at  3:40 a.m. in the morning in a very odd place just a stone's throw from Meachum airport. Streetview.

  • I couldn't let this weirdness in Corpus Christi from Friday go unnoticed. Video.

  • Sports:
    • A quarterback at the University of Colorado died in a car crash.
    • "Source: The Texas Rangers have reached a pre-agreement with 12-year-old Dominican prospect Andel Pérez for a $4.0 million signing bonus."

Randon Friday Morning Thoughts




I'm not sure that guy was ever seen again. 

  • Northwest ISD's Eaton High School just got trumped by the Eagles. "Eaton principal Stacy Miles says the school found out about the concert through promotional emails."



  • A cluster happened late yesterday as we had some friendly fire: "A U.S. official said a Defense Department's laser weapon was used to down the drone, which occurred in the area of Fort Hancock, a small community located on the U.S.-Mexico border." The air space near El Paso was shut down because of it. 


  • For some reason, Hillary Clinton was deposed for six hours yesterday about Jeffrey Epstein. "It then got quite unusual because I started being asked about UFOs and Pizzagate."  Side note: She's looking and sounding good. 

    • Rep. Lauren Boebert was in the room which resulted into momentary chaos. 

  • Anthropic refused to bow to the Pentagon’s demands to remove certain restrictions on its AI which would allow it to kill. Sounds reasonable.


  • ,After misrepresenting that they were looking for a missing child, ICE went into a dorm yesterday and snatched a student. She ended up released later in the day after the NYC mayor and Trump got together. My head is spinning. 


  • Ken Paxton rolled out his daughter to defend him after John Cornyn's ad accused him of having affairs. In a new Paxton ad, his daughter says, “My dad is not perfect; none of us are. But he is a man of deep faith, genuine love for his family, and an unrelenting commitment to doing right by the people of Texas.”


  • This woman has an incredible skill as well as having no fear. 

  • It begins. It's over.  

  • The Business Second™. 

  • The Second Business Second™.  More highway 114 traffic.

  • Lauren Whitener Clock: 6 years and 239 days.
