Random Monday Morning Thoughts

I miss Sarah Palin sometimes. 

---

• New this morning (below).  And this comes on the heels of a motorcycle death on 1810 near Chico on Sunday morning per the Wise County Messenger. 
  
  
  
• Note to Messenger: If you want to see how AI took your story and turned it into an attorney ad, without attribution to you, look here. 
• This headline and story don't do this story justice.  She was dragged under a car for about a city block and, seconds after it happened, someone filmed the aftermath of it all from above. (Video - disturbing warning.)
  

  

  
  
  
  
• As so often the case now, the story has nothing more to tells us than what's in the headline. 
  
  
  
• We had a DPS Trooper incident at the Aggie/South Carolina game on Saturday. Video. 
  
  
  
  
  
  

  

  
  
  
  
• From the official government Twitter account of the Department of Homeland Security.  
  
• Trump and the Epstein files had an interesting weekend.
• On Friday, he again called it all a "hoax" but then specifically named people and companies who should be investigated because of their association with Epstein. And he instructed AG Pam Bondi to do so. 
  
  
  
• Pam Bondi immediately said, "I'll do that investigation!"   
  
  
  
• And then, last night, Trump did a complete 180 on his position of Congress voting on releasing the files.
  
  
  
  
• And now Trump is in a wild fight with Marjorie Taylor Greene
• He's working out some nicknames (and even has to explain his comedy routine.)
  
  
  
  
• Marjorie says that she is going to get killed by the crazies out there because of Trump. 
  
  
  
• Trump, in response, tells her not to worry because no one cares enough about her to kill her. Video. 
  
  
  
• Quick hits: An incredible weekend of the crazy and insane things from the President of the United States.
• Video.
  
  
  
• Rep. Thomas Massie's first wife passed away in June of 2024, having been married for over 30 years and having four children together. He married Carolyn Grace Moffa, a former staffer for Senator Rand Paul, on October 19, 2025.
  
  
  
  
• Trump criticized a comedian and wants him off the air. And then the Chairman of the FCC retweeted it. 
  
  
  
• I keep telling you . . . . 
  
  
  
• The Business Second™: There's going to be a lot of rebooting going on once we have another ice storm and the power goes out.
  
  
  
• The college football playoffs are still taking shape, but there's still a whole lot that can happen. But for now, the Aggies look like they'll be in after a miraculous comeback, as would be Texas Tech keeps having a dream season, OU is back in the running after a big win at Alabama, and . . . .  The University of North Texas? "Do you believe in the Mean Green!"
  
  
  
• The Waco Tribune is a little dramatic. At least I hope that's just the case.
