Random Thursday Morning Thoughts



At Love Field, a man was threatening officers with “a rock in each hand,” and was shot after he made “a quick approach directly at the officer.”


  • The town of Trinidad just keeps on giving. With all due respect to the judge, the fact that the warrant was all based upon an allegation of a Facebook complaint about water quality should have been a red flag. 
  • Now if they had run a non-fraudulent "psychic scheme," they would be on firm ground.  

  • If you are smart enough to never look at any social media comments under any news story about this case, congratulations. 

  • Oh, no. 

  • If you want proof that ICE would enforce those one-sided 287(g) agreement against any police department which signed on, see this story from yesterday's Dallas Morning News.  ICE is serious about that "under the supervision and direction" language. 



  • "The Texas Animal Health Commission has released an interactive map tracking cases of New World screwworm in Texas."

  • We know know that the those behind the data center haven't contributed enough to Gov. Abbott. (Flashback and Compare: Abbott became a big fan of school vouchers once he received a one time $6 million campaign donation from voucher backer Jeff Yass.)

  • Yep, he really said it.
     

  • Overnight war updates. But, don't worry, "the talks are going very well."
