Random Tuesday Morning Thoughts

We've put up with him for so long. 

---

• Bad wreck in Wise County: 
  
• This is probably a lost cause. 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• One day after Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff left following the "negotiations": 
  
  
  
• Uh, it's a state prosecution so it doesn't work that way. (He said this today on Good Morning America.)
  
  
  
• It's Trumpapalooza time in Dallas. It will compete with NFL games on Wednesday and Thursday.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• From the "Let Them Eat Cake" department: 
• Ivanka posts a video of her riding horseback on the beach. 
  
  
  
• She shows off her luxury apartment in Miami.
  
  
  
• But the rest of us just need to trust him. 
  
  
  
• Rep. Ronny Jackson posted this yesterday.  Did Americans take a 60 day holiday after July 4, 1776?
  
• The SMU-Florida State game was delayed last night for almost two hours because they couldn't get the power turned on in Tallahassee. 
  
  
  
• Regarding the Lindsay Clancy mistrial, have we not heard from any of the jurors yet? That's surprising. 

Random Monday Morning Thoughts

That was a wild tenure.

• Video.
  
  
  
  

  

  
  
• This flight was from Dallas to Newark, NJ.  The man, Layne A. Lundeen, 67, of Tucson, Arizona was later fired from his job in real estate.  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Rep. David Spiller (R-Jacksboro) has unwillingly made it into a new James Talarico ad.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Meanwhile, here comes the MAGA money and Elon money for Paxton so prepare yourself to see a ton of ads: 
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Get married. Have a kid. Stay home. Get a $9,000 check per-child per-year. 
  
  
  
  
  
  
• The Amon Carter, Jr. War is over. 
  
  
  
• The two real estate guys went to Moscow to meet with Putin to try and end the war in Ukraine, but it turned into a love-fest as you would expect.  Video
  
• The Nazis are on the rise again in Germany. 
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Meanwhile in the U.S.: It probably would have been a big seller in Trump country.
  
  
  
  
• The hair has gone brown. 
  
  
  
• "One of the games, 'Rio Run,' a variation on the popular Snake computer game, has players 'deport' migrants along the Rio Grande along the U.S.-Mexico border."  Once again, it is so goulish. 
  

  

  
  
  
  
• This volleyball game was on national TV last night on Fox. The game had to be suspended for the night.  Video (which is pretty crazy)
  

  
• Archie Manning assassination attempt on Saturday! Video.
  
  
  
• His last confirmed annual compensation was in 2015 at $32 million when the NFL league office was considered a non-profit and had to file public tax returns. Who knows what it is up to now.
  

  

  
  
  
  
• This might be the greatest trailer for a documentary ever.

Random Friday Morning Thoughts

 The prices might seem cheap compared to today, but it is wild that the lawyers in Decatur all got together and decided what they would charge.

• Lost of red flags in this story. Gift link. 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• That' was a heck of a break-up agreement for a boyfrind-girlfriend relationship. 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Anyone else confused why this fire is still burning? 
  
  
  
• So much winning. 
  
  

  
  
  
• I think the judge is on dangerous grounds if he wants to question a holdout juror this morning. And the defense lawyer seems to be taking a huge gamble in trying to remove that juror -- I'm not sure why he is so confident that the jury is hung 11-1 in the defendant's favor based upon the jury note.  What if that holdout juror has a "doubt" and it refusing to convict because of it, but the other jurors are telling him, correctly, that the doubt must be "reasonable" in order to vote to acquit. 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Donkey murder. 
  
• Speaking of, J.D. Vance is an ass. 
  
• And the current Administration is ghoulish.  So the Secretary of Homeland Security gets his jollies by posting a picture of black men in chains being forced out of the country. 
  
  
  
• Breaking job numbers (if you trust them.)
  
  
  
• College football is in chaos. LSU files suit in state court to allow it to put ex-NFL players on its roster (and won late last evenging) and the SEC files a federal lawsuit in Mississippi to stop it. 
  
  
  
• Fun facts from a couple of last night's college football games:
• And Rutgers paid UMass $1.5 million for this home game
  
  
  
  
• Oh, my.
