Random Wednesday Morning Thoughts




There's a name you haven't heard in a long time. 


  • The Tanner Horner trial continued yesterday, and it's still on course to wrap up next week. This lady did a pretty good job for the defense, but I've yet to hear anything that puts a dent in the State's death penalty case.  The audio/video of the murder is just too much to overcome. Horner's brother, who is in prison, is expected to testify today after the cross-examination of this lady:

  • Here's an example of local news taking a long time to filter out by DFW media. 

  • "A social media fad [making a comeback] challenging kids to ingest Benadryl to induce hallucinations is sending dozens of children to the hospital, Cook Children’s Medical Center said . . .In six months, more than 100 patients have gone to the Cook Children’s emergency room for Benadryl overdoses, according to the health system."

  • There was a manhunt for a guy off of Basswood in North Fort Worth yesterday afternoon.  A civilian employee with Fort Worth PD was taking a burglary of a vehicle report when this guy allegedly shot the employee in the eye.  (That's all we know.)  He definitely looked like he was having a bad day. 

  • A recent cold case arrest for a Houston double murder will never see the courtroom.

     

  • Yesterday was full of proof we are living in a autocracy.  It's over. 
    • In one of the dumbest prosecutions in American history, former DBI Director James Comey was indicted for posting a picture of sea shells.   There is no way -- absolutely no way -- that a federal judge doesn't kill the indictment. This is not normal. 



      Say what?!


    • This came on the heels of the Justice Department filing a pleading in the Ballroom case this week which appears to have been dictated by Trump. 


    • So the government is attempting to shut down TV stations over a joke that Trump and Melania didn't like?

    • A statue in honor of grifting.  


    • Then and Now:  King Charles visited the Oval Office yesterday, and I doubt he was thinking, "I love what you've done with the place." 


  • A video reviewed by The Washington Post gives credence to my believe that the officer who was shot at the dinner on Saturday was the result of friendly fire.  Gift link


  • "NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Former Associated Press photographer Jack Thornell, whose Pulitzer Prize-winning picture of a shotgun-felled James Meredith looking back toward his would-be assassin on a Mississippi highway in 1966 became an enduring image of the Civil Rights Movement, has died. He was 86."
    • That's the same James Meredith who integrated the University of Mississippi and who has a statute of himself on that campus now. 
  • The price of oil is at $115 a barrel this morning.
