The victim survived and the guy ended up getting 45 years. But I posted it at the time because I thought the guy looked like Nick Saban Urban Meyer
- You know it's a wild day when a Twitter fight between Trump and his now former BFF makes the front page of both the Wall Street Journal and the major New York tabloid.
- The online breakup was harder and faster than anyone could imagine:
- Trump saying that he asked Musk to leave DOGE because his presence was "wearing thin", that he had now gone "crazy", and that he was just mad that the proposed Big Beautiful Bill didn't have tax credits for electric vehicles. To which Elon responded that such a claim was a "lie" and "so sad."
- Musk saying the only reason that Trump won the election was because of him.
- Musk saying the Epstein files had been released because they would implicate Trump, and posting an old video of Trump and Epstein at a party together.
- Musk: Trump's tariff's will cause a recession in the second half of this year.
- Trump threatening to cancel all of SpaceX's contracts.
- Musk calling for Trump to be impeached and replaced with J.D. Vance.
- Musk creating an online poll about creating a third political party.
- Oh, my!
- I don't know what my favorite Internet response to all of this was. It had to be either the re-posting, as a metaphor, of a photo from earlier this year of the car bomb outside of Trump Hotel in Vegas, or Musk's most recent baby momma entering the fray.
- In a wild development we learned that the former D.A. of Montague County, who had recently been convicted of embezzlement but was free on an appeal bond, has been in jail since Monday in Sulphur Springs. And she is still there this morning according to the jail records.
- Honestly, I don't know why in the world her appeal bond was revoked. And the docket entries for the case don't show a Motion being filed by the prosecutor before the judge just suddenly issued the order.
- Random funny: A faithful reader and local attorney sent along this picture of a sign posted at the entrance of Denton County courthouse.
- The good news is that no bodies were in any of them.
- A lawsuit involving a guy who got drunk at a Cancun hotel, and died as result of it, is in the midst of jury trial right now in the 17th Judicial District Court in Tarrant County. His widow is suing the hotel for over-serving him. (Sheesh.) Her lawyer is Wes Bearden out of Dallas. The defense lawyers are James Kuritzkes and Mike Burke out of Dallas with a firm named Cozen O'Connor. I'm predicting a defense verdict is coming.
- Pretty "interesting" opinion in a criminal appeal out of Wise County which was released late yesterday. From the beginning, you know that it is not your run-of-the-mill case:
- Lauren Whitener Clock: 5 years and 339 days.
