Random Monday Morning Thoughts

The Dallas Morning News took a hard look at how Bridgeport had won the high school basketball state championship earlier in the year.

• So we were told 97 were missing in the Texas Hill Country floods, but now the number is just 3 instead?  Seems like this was (or should have been) figured out a lot sooner than Saturday afternoon when they did the press release.  
  
  
  
• The death count is up to 93.  I'll never understand why we just turn a blind eye to Israel's infliction of atrocities in Gaza.
  
  
  
  

  
• Maybe it is just me, but I'm seeing more and more wrecks out there. People drive like nuts. 
  
  
  
• The brother of the late Pat Tillman, who gave the unhinged speech at his brother's funeral in 2001, has found himself in a bit of trouble. 
  
  
  
  
  
  
• This felt a lot more dangerous than Beyonce's flying car failure the other day. Video,
  
  

  

  
  
  
  
• We've been beaten down with the Coldplay/Affair scandal, but I had no idea the screen at the concert was this big and prominent. 
  
  
  
• A grand jury got away from a prosecutor on this one.
  
  
   
  
  
  
• This is right out of a Final Destination movie.
  
  
  
• Yesterday, Trump tweeted on his own platform (1) a video of a girl in a bikini catching a snake, (2) an AI generated video of Obama being arrested, (3) a Brady Bunch like image of fake book-in photos of political opponents, and (4) that the Washington Commanders should change their name back to the Washington Redskins. The Mad King is not well. 
  
  
  
• Trump followed through on his threat to sue the Wall Street Journal.  He'll lose, but Trump doesn't care. This is all performative to scare any media outlet with less resources to be careful what they say about the Fuhrer. 
  
  
  
• Also, he filed the case in federal court in Florida but this time his case was assigned to a judge other than his fanboy Aileen Cannon.
• And this case went to arbitration instead of a jury.
  
  
  
• Oh, good grief. 
  
  
  
• The Texas legislature meets in a 30 day special session beginning today. At the direction of Trump, they will try to redraw Congressional districting lines in order to try and and flip five districts from Democrat to Republican.  Jacksboro's David Spiller in on that committee.
