- Paxton's criminal case ended with a thud after almost a decade. It's a pre-trial diversion agreement with no admission of guilt (which almost all of them have.) Two systems of justice?
- Trump selling a Bible for $60 + shipping would be the ultimate deal breaker for any Christian just a few years ago. And his video promotion of it is incredibly cringey. "Religion and Christianity are the biggest things missing from this country, and I truly believe that we need to bring them back. All Americans need a Bible in their home, and I have many. It’s my favorite book."
- Late yesterday, the Fifth Circuit converted its denial of "administrative stay" into a denied "temporary stay" while it decides the constitutionality of S.B. 4 - the immigration bill. That means Texas can't enforce the new law.
- Amazingly, the ruling was a 2-1 decision that took 121 pages to explain. They could have just said, "We are bound by Arizona v. United States" and be done with it.
- But it's a great indication of how the same judges will rule on the merits, and the dissent knows it.
- A good look of what the cargo ship in Baltimore hit.
- The Baltimore harbor and its shipping business was at the heart of Season 2 of The Wire.
- The video is behind a paywall, but I decided to take a look at it. It's bad. The cop just slammed him face first into the concrete while the guy was handcuffed. He was out cold after that.
- DPS has a new toy, but it will not help in getting your license renewed at your local DPS office.
- A 35-year-old Birdville ISD 7th grade math teacher decided to do a bit.
- Some people are flat out weird.
- Former Evil Empire great Vince Young goes down. Video.
- The NFL is taking over Wednesdays.
- Lake Bridgeport is 15.14 feet low with summer on the horizon.
