Just a couple of quality random thoughts.
- Yesterday Trump's former personal lawyer, and now the second in command at the Justice Department, met in private with the second in command of the Epstein crimes. I can't believe this happened. What exactly are they trying to accomplish? If Trump wants to stop the uprising of his conspiracy-loving MAGA base, this is not the way to do it. It only feeds the beast.
- And what was caught on video afterwards will not help the growing belief among a great number of MAGA members that Trump is part of the "deep state."
- And why Todd Blanche? For a crime that occurred over years and prosecutions which spanned a decade, there is no way he could be prepare in time to even know what questions to ask.
- Two things from the Update yesterday that caught my attention:
- Regarding the creation of an organization to help with water problems for Wise County - an organization" which resembles the previously failed Wise Regional Water District but avoids the requirement of legislative approval." Do county leaders think that Rep. Andy Hopper would again fail to get a simple water district passed like last time?
- Regarding an accident on FM 51: "Due to the nature and number of injuries they sustained, first arriving crews requested a medical helicopter, but none were immediately available, with the closest an hour away." I this fallout from the sale of the local hospital?
- At the north end of DFW Airport yesterday

- After months of Israel bombing and killing tens of thousands of Gaza residents, it is finally getting mass media attention that innocent people are now starving to death. Oh, this picture:
- Well, it looks like Paramount's $16 million payout to Trump on a baseless defamation lawsuit against 60 Minutes has paid off.
- Speaking of, the South Park episode going after Trump and Paramount was a jaw-dropper. And this comes on the same day it was announced that Paramount reached a new contract with the South Park creators and will pay them $1.5 billion. (Entire South Park episode here.)
- If you haven't seen the Chairman of the Federal Reserve catching Trump in a lie yesterday, it's gold. Video.
- In the stabbing case at a track meet in Frisco last spring, the District Attorney's office has issued a subpoena to the school. But this is weird and probably not legal. Sure you can request existing documents, but you can't force someone to create a "list" or a document.
- Hey! Look! There's a new concentration camp!
- Considering the current political climate, I wonder if the Gaylord Texan is thinking of renaming its annual ice exhibit to something other than "ICE."
- I thought this was fake, but it really happened in Tallahassee, Florida.
- Nerdy appellate civil stuff: Yesterday, the Fort Worth Court of Appeal threw out a lawsuit by a man claiming that the Tarrant County Water Board was responsible for his injuries occurring while he walked on a "boat dock adjacent to a public boat ramp near the Lake Bridgeport dam" that the Water Board maintains.
