The Fox 4 weatherman's flooding "joke" wasn't received too well, and he took it down after about 30 minutes.
- That theft trial of the former D.A. of Montague County was quick! Yesterday saw all the testimony take only four hours, and the jury reach a guilty verdict before the day's end. "After 16th District Court Judge Sherry Shipman read the verdict to the court, Hall was observed hanging her head in disappointment. She was later observed crying and leaving the courtroom in an emotional state." The punishment phase is today beginning at 8:30 a.m.. She could receive anything from probation to 10 years in the pen. I would think that the verdict will be probation, but I'd be a little nervous if I were her.
- Dateline: Comanche, Texas. Good grief.
- A judge just resentencing someone from the bench years after the trial? It doesn't work that way in Texas.
- I really haven't followed the P. Diddy trial very closely this week, but that's a heck of a sketch of singer Cassie who is eight months pregnant and testified yesterday.

- I think that judge is considering blocking the public and media sitting in the gallery from seeing the sex party videos which will be shown to the jury. That seems like a violation of the right to a public trial.
- This was quick, too. I wish AG Pam Bondi was the one who was forced to personally try the case.
- Start paying attention to how often Trump talks about peace and stopping wars. He's decided he wants one thing: The Nobel Peace Prize. In that regard, yesterday he lifted sanctions on Syria, extended an "olive branch" to Iran, and gave a (shocking) speech which basically said, "The U.S. will leave the Middle East alone in the future."
- I thought it was weird how Trump just decided to take the Houthi's at their "word" that they would stop bombing ships in the Red Sea. Gift link.
- A federal judge has finally said Trump can use the Alien Enemies Act to snatch people off the streets. That makes it 3 to 1 on rulings on the issue so far. "District Judge Stephanie Haines, a Trump appointee in the Western District of Pennsylvania, wrote Tuesday that Trump’s proclamation describes a 'predatory incursion' by Tren de Aragua . . . . ”
- "The Ellis County District Attorney’s Office has agreed to serve as special prosecutor in the ongoing investigation of McLennan County Sheriff Parnell McNamara on allegations he improperly ordered a deputy to work at his Bosqueville farm over a three-year period while the deputy was on the county payroll."
- Just announced: The Cowboys will host the Chiefs on Thanksgiving Day.
