This was a prelude to a 70 month federal sentence for a Decatur woman.
- Jacksboro! All nine officers and former Chief of Police Bryan Corb resigned Wednesday. Oh, my!
- Random campaign sign in Jacksboro:
- Death penalty verdicts are getting harder and harder to come by.
- "Known for his compelling, if somewhat bluster-filled argument to juries, [Prosecutor Dale] Smith has a penchant for walking up to seated defendants during his closings and pointing at them for emphasis as he shouts. Smith’s argument in the Cousins trial was no different." It didn't work this time. (The link above has a video of it. Paywalled)
- Nothing drives me more nuts than the claim of "furries" and "litter boxes" in schools. So, of course, the Texas legislature wants to enact a law to ban this non-existent problem. But in the committee hearing on the bill this week, the author of it couldn't name one single school where an incident had occurred. Video.
- Wait a second! That chimney is not a permanent structure?
- The guy responsible for accidentally adding the journalist to the Signal group text detailing plans to bomb the Houthis was removed from his position as National Security Advisor yesterday. And then, oddly, moved over to be ambassador to the United Nations. But that will require senate confirmation hearings,
- And all of that occurred one day after an AP reporter caught Waltz using Signal during a cabinet meeting.
- New authoritarian move by Trump this morning. It's over.
- And nothing says Authoritarian more than military parades.
- Part I (released last night)
- Part II (this morning). This clears the way for even more military parades. Side note: What's he want to do with Veteran's Day which is already on November 11th?
- Trump gave the commencement speech at the University Alabama last night and just regurgitated his standard campaign speech. But this moment was my favorite. Video.
- A Texas federal judge, appointed by Trump, struck down Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act to summarily snatch up and deport "suspected" Venezuelan gang members. Now we just have to wait for Trump to ignore the ruling.
- Let's check in on Fox News.
- Story. I've always thought it weird that Dallas County Judge has a law practice.
- The Wise County judge, on the other hand, just dabbles in wholesome country music. He has released a new single today.
- Lauren Whitener Clock: 5 years and 304 days.
