Random Tuesday Morning Thoughts






Good times. 


  • Wise County Judge J.D. Clark provided a sneak peak of the almost-restored district courtroom, now with a balcony, yesterday. (Those support polls will have some fancy molding put around them.)

  • Say what? Gift link.

  • I saw the story over the weekend of two "teenagers" killed after "subway surfing" in New York, but I completely missed that their ages were finally revealed to be 12 and 13. 

  • Oh, my.  Amazingly, no deaths among the three people on board. 


  • We've finally got the video of the runway collision between two Delta aircraft at LaGuardia Airport in New York last week.  That seems ridiculously avoidable.

  • I've already seen these ads on TV urging Dallas police officers to join ICE. How exactly does that make our cities safter?

  • The government shutdown might be coming to an end as cracks are now appearing in the standoff.


  • Uh, yeah. The militarization of American cities isn’t happening with a parade of tanks. It’s a slow drip of troop deployments happening right before our eyes.

  • This might be the most incriminating he’s ever looked in connection with the Epstein scandal.  Video.

  • The Business Second™. U.S. bank Fifth Third on Monday agreed to buy Texas based Comerica in a deal which will make Fifth Third the ninth largest bank in America.  I'll admit I hadn't ever heard of "Fifth Third" bank before this.   

  • The best stuff is often in the last paragraph of the story.  The company could be paid $50 million for the first year and up to $250 million by 2030.


  • Last night: Trevor Lawrence fell down twice and then got up and ran for a score on this game winning play. Video.

  • AG Pam Bondi is appearing before a Senate subcommittee at this moment. That should be good.
