Random Monday Morning Thoughts





This was so disturbing. Near White Rock Lake, a jogger was attacked and killed with a machete by a former Aggie receiver who had a permanent mental breakdown. After initially being mentally incompetent, he was later cleared to stand trial and received life in prison. 


  • The 20 living hostages held by Hamas were released overnight. Trump is in Israel taking a victory lap and, for once, it's a legitimate one. 


  • This happened yesterday afternoon just north of Saginaw and very close to Highway 287.  Video from one of the businesses that captured the moment of impact.

  • A dramatic helicopter crash in Florida on Saturday afternoon. There were no deaths despite even a child on the ground being pinned underneath is. Video

  • I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often. 

  • Otherwise, it was a normal weekend in America:
    • Mississippi.

    • South Carolina.


  • On Friday, an explosion at a munitions plant killed 16 people. They, and the plant they were working in, are just gone

  • Trump quotes: 
    • Before leaving for Israel, Trump had to throw out a couple of serious lies as he continues to rewrite history into a fiction of his own.  First, the 274 agents were sent to the Capitol after the riots began (and even FBI Director Kash Patel said so just a couple of weeks ago.) Second, whose FBI was it on January 6th?

    • After saying he will impose 100% tariffs on China on Friday (causing a mysterious $160 million crypto profit for someone), Trump said on Sunday, "Nevermind":
    • He's not good at geography as he spoke on Air Force One yesterday. Audio

  • Checking in on Fox News and Gov. Abbott:

  • Texas Tech is having a heck of a year, but resorting to chemical warfare between the third and fourth quarters seems over the top. 

  • It's Columbus Day, and I remain THWMISB™.
