It's Friday -- Let's Get Out of Here

Random Friday Morning Thoughts




And, incredibly, it is still going on ten years later!

  • Are we just going to normalize government agents again just casually gunning down people on the streets of America? 
    • ICE screwed up again. Gift link.



    • No bodycams?! 

    • I'll believe the word of a migrant over the word of  ICE agent every day of the week.  The agency has already proven it will rush out a lie to cover its unlawful contact. 

  • A fire in the meat section of HEB in the Alliance store caught fire last night. 


  • Photo of the vehicle fire on 380 outside of Decatur from a couple of days ago:

  • "A DPS trooper attempted to stop a Chevrolet Malibu due to a traffic violation on Texas 114 near the Tarrant and Wise County line about 10 p.m."  That's a heck of chase to get all the way to Saginaw. 

  • The arrest was a few months ago, and now the sentencing will be in a couple of months. 


  • I don't know why Utah criminal procedure requires a mini-trial before the actual trial, but it definitely has shown that Tyler Robinson killed Charlie kirk. 

  • They are going to steal the mid-terms. 


  • What's Trump doing now? 


  • The defense lawyer in this case is as irritating as can be, but a ham sandwich could win this case. 

  • Keep an eye on this.  He's so nutty that I can see him changing his mind over the weekend. 

  • Not the best week for the Tarrant County D.A.'s office: 

  • A civil case out of Wise County on appeal was decided yesterday which may, or may not, be of interest to some. 

  • Lauren Whitener Clock: 7 years and 5 days.

Random Thursday Morning Thoughts




This would be the beginning of the end for Roger Ailes. And it would be come a feature film named, Bombshell.

  • The bodycam videos have yet to be released by ICE in this shooting death of a man who had been here for 35 years and had no criminal record.  Also, “Three men were in the van with Lorenzo at the time of the shooting, including his brother. They have been detained, and their whereabouts are unknown. There is fear the men will be deported to prevent them from providing testimony about ICE’s actions.”


  • I'm not sure what Mark Cuban is doing here, and I doubt that he does either. 

    • But this excerpt from the court filing is really interesting. For the brilliant business owner, he sure put a lot of stock on a non-binding, handshake side-deal.  

  • The new defense lawyers filed a Motion for New Trial a couple of days ago, but the PDF of it is now available.   You know, the section about the public basically being excluded from courtroom might have some merit. 

  • Lets check in on the Memorandum of Understanding. 


  • Sorry to hear this news, but that song was a beating. 

  • I was surprised she was convicted a couple of months back, but yesterday she received a fine-only sentence. No jail time. No probation. 


  • Why don't the admit that the fake Air Force One from Qatar is not secure?

  • There is nothing that Trump can't bankrupt. 

  • Messenger - Above the Fold.

Random Wednesday Morning Thoughts




Two days later, it was national news.

  • That seemed like a tough case from the start. 


  • I never really thought about fake turf actually being flammable. 


  • What a huge problem for downtown Manhattan as a building being renovated to apartments from office space may collapse any second. 


  • He finally found voter fraud and it is him. 
  • Here we go again. 

  • Iran has taken a dramatic turn:
    • Last night:

    • This morning: 

    • Market reaction this morning: 

  • Of course.

  • I'm not sure how caffeine-free BYU will handle this.
  • The quality and quantity of local DFW news from all the local TV affiliates and the big two newspapers (Morning News and Star-Telegram) has slowed to almost a trickle. Budget cuts are behind it, and I've never seen it worse.
