Random Tuesday Morning Thoughts




This came on the heels of the Dallas shooting. That was a bad summer. 


  • This has to just be a stunt. 
  • Uh . . . . 

  • I'm not one for conspiracies, but after I went through the Wise County bills associated with the Tanner Horner trial and posted the totals on Liberally Lean a few months back, the county website which publishes the data has stopped updating

  • I think it took me a second or two to figure out there are two separate mysteries of a black kid going out on the water with white friend(s) and not returning. Mississippi and locally


  • It's only a seven second video clip, but I've never seen flames look like they were coming out of a blowtorch like I see here. 


  • ICE did it again yesterday morning. They killed a 26 year old man in front of his daughter. And, one again, there were no body cams, and they were operating in unmarked vehicles.  (And this is why local law enforcement shouldn't join up with ICE with 287(g) agreements.)



  • Meanwhile, in Houston: This is no way to get to the bottom of that shooting. 

  • The Iran war ramped up for the third night in a row. 


    • Related: We have a "Yay!/Boo!" this morning:

      Yay!
      Boo!


  • Trump was promoting a grand prix race in D.C. yesterday, and he got his own racing helmet. Everyone treats him like a Make-a-Wish kid. 
  • Krazy Glue?

  • Two Supreme Court justices, Barrett and Kagan, will testify in front of a congressional committee this morning. You don't see that very often.
