Random Monday Morning Thoughs




“I don’t know what the future will hold . . . .  I am convinced from all of my soul God is not done with America yet.” - Ted Cruz to the Texas GOP convention after dropping out of race against Trump.


  • The cruise passengers, both the infected and not infected, have landed in Nebraska this morning.

  • Dateline British Columbia. How did it get up there on Saturday afternoon? Answer: A wreck that was caught on video

  • We now know why a child was "chemically burned" late last week. 
  • Friday night.  Video (which stops a second before impact.)




  • The Secretary of Transportation has been on a family road trip so that a reality TV show could be filmed. 


  • These are not pictures from the 1960s. Nope. They were taken last week in Tennessee as all predominately minority Congressional districts will now disappear thanks to a Supreme Court ruling.  (To be fair, the South always did claim it would "rise again.")


  • After the legislature in Virginia redrew lines to counter the Texas gerrymandering, the Virginia Supreme Court on Friday struck it down based up on the state constitution. 

  • This is really amazing. A 22-foot, gold-leafed Trump statue at his Doral Gold Club was blessed by a circle of evangelical and Jewish clergy.


  • Trump over the weekend. 
    • Nuttiest statement.

    • Craziest post. (which was tough to choose from this weekend.)

    • Biggest lie. 

  • It's all a grift (Gift link.). 

  • One day this guy will stop embarrassing the First Baptist Church of Dallas. 

  • The Business Second™. 
  • Gift link


  • New this morning: The Cowboys will travel to New York to face the Giants at 7:20 p.m. CST on Sept. 13 --- the first Sunday game of the year.
