It's Friday -- Let's Get Out of Here

Random Friday Morning Thoughts




It was the week where we learned of the crazy murder of Dr. Kendra Hatcher in Uptown in Dallas, and the first inklings that it could be a murder-for-hire in a a love triangle. 

  • Woah! Trump just dropped a bombshell on Fox and Friends early this morning. No other media outlet had so much as hinted that a person was in custody for the shooting of Charlie Kirk. Authorities have now scheduled a news conference for 8:30 a.m. CST.  



  • UPDATE: Forty minutes later, major media outlets said the person in custody is Tyler Robinson, 22 years old, of Nevada. 



    • Just last night, they had no idea who it was.  Authorities held a press conference at 8:30 p.m. and really said nothing.  Instead, they just released a video of him walking through a neighborhood (here) and a video of him jumping off roof (here).

    • This was pretty clear.

    • If you've seen any of them, you'll be convinced that the general population of the U.S. is too dumb for this country to make it long term.


  • This was a cluster last night:


  • They handled it a little differently down there. 


  • Ummkay.  Not exactly a NATO hardline response. 

  • Trump on criminal practice and procedure: 

  • Random headline and video that I saw which has to be shared. Video.


  • Fort Worth: "After the defendant’s continued resistance, Judge Ryan Hill stepped in. 'Man, you’re on the stand. This is the evidence in the case. Let’s deal with it,' the judge said." Gift link.

  • Random football field on ESPN2 last night. 

  • Lauren Whitener Clock: 6 years and 70 days.

Random Thursday Morning Thoughts




The link is now gone but it involved a 36 year old woman from Newark. Other than a speeding ticket, no "reckless driving case" was ever filed.

  • This is horrible. What else can be said?




    • After a false alarm by the FBI Director, we learned yesterday evening that the shooter is still on the loose. And that's pretty amazing. Edit: It was just announced that authorities “do have good video footage of this individual.” They intend to use technology to identify him.  If that doesn't work, they will release the video and ask for the public's help.   They also announced that they have recovered the murder weapon: "It is a high-powered, bolt-action rifle." Oddly, the found it in a "wooded area" where the shooter fled to.



    • We live in a far different time than when the Zapruder film was kept under lock and key for years. Side note: I'm proud to say I haven't watched the video referenced below. I saw too many people post online, "I just watched it, and I wish I hadn't."


    • It's hard to keep up with all of them:

  • For a brief period of time yesterday, news coverage of the Charlie Kirk shooting was interrupted by breaking school shooting news. .

  • A Wise County missing persons case is getting some DFW coverage.

     



  • "Officers responded to the Walmart at 8520 N. Beach St. about 10:30 p.m. A 911 caller reported that the man covered himself in lighter fluid and set himself on fire in the parking lot, and then ran inside the store."


  • Oklahoma inmate hangs out of back of jail van. Video. 

  • Just wait until the national media finds out he was an illegal alien.

     

  • "He is a historian of the United States and Texas who specializes in transnational approaches to race, labor, capitalism, and protest movements"  according to the school's website. But I'm not sure his comments, which have First Amendment protections from his employer, deserve firing.

  • Messenger - Above the Fold

Random Wednesday Morning Thoughts




And the unleaded prices weren't bad either. 

  • Just Russia sending drones into the air space of a NATO member while bombing Ukraine. Seems concerning. (But the U.S. seems strangely quiet about this news this morning. It almost makes me think something isn't right.)

  • That's probably going to hit the city budget pretty hard in Quinlan. "Authorities said the truck was traveling northbound when it struck a curb, causing it to roll onto its side. According to Quinlan VFD, the truck - Engine 62 - lost control while rounding a corner and rolled an unknown number of times."

  • The Supreme Court has agreed to hear Trump's request that it review his right to impose tariffs. They are going to let him do it, aren't they?

  • Th Aggies have fired a professor, and reassigned a dean and a department head, for being too woke. It all began with a secret video. 


  • A bad day at work. 

  • For those of us of a certain age, this is some wild news. 


  • But they can watch unending 30 seconds videos and text at a rapid speed. Gift link.

  • Emmitt Smith says he got scammed for $500,000.

      
    • A defendant in Smith's lawsuit is this guy from Southlake: 

  • Trump took a motorcade on block to a restaurant last night to "prove" how "safe" D.C. is.  He was booed inside.  (Here's the menu for the place.)


  • Ex Fox News personality Jeanine Pirro is having a little trouble as U.S. Attorney getting anyone indicted by the grand jury.

  • The Great Spitting Incident of 2025 in the Cowboys/Eagles game last Thursday will cost Eagle player Jalen Carter a game check of $57,000 per the NFL.
