Random Wednesday Morning Thoughts

Maybe this isn't such a bad idea now.

• Dateline Aubrey: 
  
  
  
  
• Sidenote: Those are some interesting looking houses so I wanted to check out the neighborhood via Google Streetview.  Nope. There is none. In fact, the latest image from Google Satellite shows the entire subdivision awaiting construction.  Edit: A faithful reader sent me an active listing for one of the homes.
  
  
  
• "A nude man who beat to death a stranger in Fort Worth was legally insane at the time he bludgeoned the grandfather with a piece of firewood and was on Tuesday acquitted of murder under an agreement between prosecutors and the defendant’s lawyers." And you might remember this case. Gift link. 
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Full video. Story.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• The Fifth Circuit might be the most predictable court in the country. 
  
  
  
• Side note: Hey, they are hiring.  It's the best paying clerk job you'll find. (And probably one of the most difficult.) 
  
  
  
• Palo Pinto County? Yep, "he owns a lakefront property on Possum Kingdom Lake, according to the online records." 
  
  
  
• .The War
• You knew this was coming. It's the sixth "extension" he's granted.  Trump is in a complete pickle as Iran now begins to dog-walk the U.S. 
  
  
• New this morning. 
  
  
  
  
• Hours after he said on CNBC that the Strait was open, he posted this yesterday afternoon. Up is down. Black is white.  
  
  
  
• Hegseth is going to get troops killed one way or another.  
  
  
  
  
  
• Flashback:
  
  
  
• Sports: The question of the day!
  
• Nerdy legal El Salvador criminal law news: 
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Oh, man.  And the the letter to the court admitting the error is almost painful to read.  Heads had to have rolled in that silk-suited firm. 
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Turning Point USA is at Baylor today. Donald Trump Jr. was supposed to be there but he cancelled yesterday so they are going with Ken Paxton instead. Baylor, what are you doing?
