A week after the mass shooting in the black church in Charleston by a shooter (Dylann Roof) who had posed often with the Confederate flag, if looked like public sentiment was going to put the flag on its death bed. I wouldn't have predicted then that it would see a comeback over the next decade.
- A preliminary classified U.S. report leaked from the Defense Intelligence Agency,says the American bombing of Iraq's three nuclear sites in Iran set back the country’s nuclear program by only a few months, according to both the New York Times, CNN, and now everyone else. That is not the same as "obliterated."
- The Trump Administration managed to somehow criticize the reporting as "fake" while at the same time saying that the leak came from a "low level loser" that shouldn't have done that.
- Trump, this morning:
- Wise County Rep. Andy Hopper announced his bid for re-election to the Texas House yesterday, and also released a "89th Legislative Priority Wrap-Up."
- Oddly, in that Wrap-Up, he didn't even so much as mention that his only bill to receive a vote in the Texas House, HB 3154 for the creation of the Wise County Water District, went down in flames by a vote of 41 to 78. There wasn't even an explanation on how that could possibly have happened.
- Perhaps even odder, a section of the Wrap-Up labeled "HD 64 Wins" highlighted other bills he authored that didn't even get enough support to get to a vote. (See below)
- And the next paragraph was dedicated to how he helped get a "policy" adopted to stop men from using the women's restroom in the capitol building. And that wasn't even legislation, it was just a policy change by the State Preservation Board.
- Oh, my gosh! How long was this ring missing? Decades? And how did a diver just happen to come across it!? Well . . .
- . . . It was lost by a mom while swimming last Sunday in the "Sandy Beach" area of the lake. She and her husband immediately hired a diving service to try and find it in a "100-foot by 50-foot area." It was found the next morning.
- That's a lot of people.
- Remember that video from Seagoville?
- In the New York City mayor's race, the Democrats nominated a 33 year old socialist. That's probably not the press they need right now.
- I bet all of Elon's team of youngsters are gone from DOGE. Heck, I bet DOGE itself is gone.
- He's guilty of a lot of things, but I'm not sure at all that he's guilty of the charge the feds went with. Closing arguments are Thursday,
- Verdict in 35 minutes yesterday. The punishment phase should occur today.
- You don't see this very often: The United States sued every federal district court judge in Maryland last night. PDF.
- Israel's attack on Gaza hasn't gone away. Killings, by bullets and famine, continue.
- Special note to Jenny, and all her extended family, in the Wise County Attorney's office on the loss of her father, Ricky Stutt. Services are today at 11:00 a.m. at First Baptist in Decatur.
