  • A brief thunderstorm actually shut down Highway 183 to the south of DFW airport yesterday afternoon. And it was during rush hour. 

  • Missiles and drones were exchanged late yesterday during the "cease fire" with Iran.  The bottom photo is of Kuwait's international airport. 


  • "Tiffany Doolan, who had worked for Wylie ISD for 19 years, notified the district of her resignation on May 26. In a statement, the district said Doolan had been a victim of targeted online attacks and public hostility." Islamophobia seems to be an all-time high.


  • If those numbers are correct, that's a lot of drugs. 



  • On the "shadow docket" last night, the Supreme Court continued to take us back to the Jim Crow era. Now Alabama just has one predominantly black congressional district.

  • We are supposed to just take their word for it? 

    • But . . . 

  • The town of Trinidad seems to be a hotbed of small time petty politics.

Every single person here has a voice; we have the privilege to use it when millions around the world are struggling and suffering to be heard. Whether it’s the millions suffering in Palestine, Sudan, Congo, Afghanistan and so many other countries around the world, or families being torn apart by ICE." Video. (The New York Post headline is, as always, a little over the top.)


  • The Business Second™. Meet the Oligarchs.

  • Fun Ranger fact:
  • The prediction market Kalshi has Texas Tech a slight favorite over Texas in the softball championship.
