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

Randon Friday Morning Thoughts




I'm not sure that guy was ever seen again. 

  • Northwest ISD's Eaton High School just got trumped by the Eagles. "Eaton principal Stacy Miles says the school found out about the concert through promotional emails."



  • A cluster happened late yesterday as we had some friendly fire: "A U.S. official said a Defense Department's laser weapon was used to down the drone, which occurred in the area of Fort Hancock, a small community located on the U.S.-Mexico border." The air space near El Paso was shut down because of it. 


  • For some reason, Hillary Clinton was deposed for six hours yesterday about Jeffrey Epstein. "It then got quite unusual because I started being asked about UFOs and Pizzagate."  Side note: She's looking and sounding good. 

    • Rep. Lauren Boebert was in the room which resulted into momentary chaos. 

  • Anthropic refused to bow to the Pentagon’s demands to remove certain restrictions on its AI which would allow it to kill. Sounds reasonable.


  • ,After misrepresenting that they were looking for a missing child, ICE went into a dorm yesterday and snatched a student. She ended up released later in the day after the NYC mayor and Trump got together. My head is spinning. 


  • Ken Paxton rolled out his daughter to defend him after John Cornyn's ad accused him of having affairs. In a new Paxton ad, his daughter says, “My dad is not perfect; none of us are. But he is a man of deep faith, genuine love for his family, and an unrelenting commitment to doing right by the people of Texas.”


  • This woman has an incredible skill as well as having no fear. 

  • It begins. It's over.  

  • The Business Second™. 

  • The Second Business Second™.  More highway 114 traffic.

  • Lauren Whitener Clock: 6 years and 239 days.

Random Thursday Morning Thoughts




Side note: The CEO of Victoria's Secret back then, Leslie Wexner, has been in the news lately -- and not in a good way.

  • Former Wise County Sheriff Phil Ryan died yesterday at the age of 80. Good dude. He was in office from 1992 through 2004.
  • Weatherford and other parts of Parker County spent the evening in darkness last night.


  • "A former U.S. Air Force fighter pilot who once trained American servicemembers on advanced combat aircraft, including the F-35, has been arrested and accused of illegally training Chinese military pilots, federal prosecutors said Wednesday."


  • John Cornyn's new ad against Ken Paxton. Oh, my.  

  • University of Texas poll:
    • U.S. Senate race:

    • Attorney General race: 

  • Anyone else think that is an overly specific number for a doctor to give? 

  • Wait a second. We just found out about the year-old shooting this week, and the local DA just up and sends it to a grand jury yesterday and gets it no-billed? 

  • Say what? From Wall Street Journal reporter: 

  • That's some quality work right there. "A woman puts the finishing touches on a bear snow sculpture in Central Park in New York City, U.S., February 25, 2026.Adam Gray/Reuters."

  • The Business Second™.   Nvidia released its financial report yesterday.  Good lord.

  • Random nerdy legal stuff.  I learned this from the a concurring opinion released yesterday by the Supreme Court. I had no idea. 

  • Messenger - Above the Fold

Random Wednesday Morning Thoughts




Trump was finally hitting his stride in his presidential campaign. 

  • Wise County Judge JDC hung out with RJK, Jr.!   If they didn't swim together later with their jeans on, I'll be very disappointed. 


  • And the government says that is a deal breaker? (Anthropic's flagship product line is the AI based "Claude.")


  • I'm beginning to feel like stuff like this happen every day.



  • Before the State of the Union address, Ken Paxton became very uncomfortable when asked about the rep who allegedly had an affair. Video.

    • Paxton was the guest of Rep. Troy Nehls who wore a tie with Trump's picture on it.

       

  • At the State of the Union, Chief Justice John Roberts was all of us. 

  • Nothing moves the needle any longer. 

  • There is now a spotlight on the insane banner of Trump hanging on the Department of Justice. 

  • Sports: 
    • "Aubrey, a restricted free agent, was offered a deal with an average salary of close to $7.5 million but is looking for nearly $10 million per season."  Be careful there, buddy. 

    • That's a good bit. 

  • It's Supreme Court opinion day. Normally just boring stuff is released this time of year, but then came the tariff opinion last Friday.
