Random Wednesday Morning Thoughts




Hey, I got one right.


  • So a Pennsylvania billionaire wants school vouchers in Texas? Why? The donor's name is Jeff Yass and here's his Wikipedia entry.



  • Trump is back in court as E. Jean Carroll sues him a second time for defamation. Why? Because after the first verdict, Trump ran in front of the cameras and repeated, word for word, the same lie that had just cost him millions. Below is what I wrote when he did it. He's screwed this time because the jury form will look like this . . .  

  • This serial murder case is all the rage up in the Northeast, and yesterday a news conference was held to announce the addition of another charge after DNA linked the defendant to a new victim. I'll tell you one thing, if I'm the DA, I'm not letting shyster Gloria Allred anywhere near that stage. 


  • An underwear clad man walking through a Dick Morris live shot on Newsmax had a lot of people asking questions yesterday. Video.

  • Meanwhile, DPS is still stonewalling all public records requests. We should get the Justice Department's report tomorrow.


     
  • Texas campaign filing reports were due yesterday, and it appears that the Texas Oilman's PAC, which has been fighting off a Nick Fuentes white supremacy controversy, was very quiet. And it did not donate to the Wise County candidate as it had in the past

  • After Vivek Ramaswamy dropped out of the presidential race yesterday , the conservative parody account The Babylon Bee wasted little time before it invoked some racism comedy. 

  • Trump has rolled out a verb bizarre "God Made Trump" campaign video (which steals from Paul Harvey's original "God Made a Farmer").  Anyway, it's, uh, something. . The only thing better was the Lincoln Project's response video of "God Made a Dictator." 
  • Okay, this got my attention. YouTube.

  • Video.

  • If the net worth article below gets you attention, check out this (gifted link) which is a quick interactive Washington Post article which will place you on a chart comparing your household to others. And we certainly don't have enough of that in this world.
