- Wise County schools are closed. From a review of Twitter, Bridgeport ISD called school off seven minutes before Decatur, and also had a fancy graphic ready to go.
- It is chaos out there.
- Someone email me or message me with an answer to this: Where can you watch live video of TxDOT traffic cameras? I've been to their website, and even navigated to the "traffic cams" for a particular city (like Fort Worth here), but if you click on any of the camera on the map, I just get a still picture which is updated every minute or two. But all the local stations seem to have access to live video feeds.
Video for this - The Little Ball of Insurrection was on The Ticket yesterday. She came across as dumb as a box of rocks, maintained her innocence, and claimed she was only prosecuted for her "protected speech." Listener blowback online for the station giving her a forum was great. Highlights of her interview:
- She said she would do it all again, but not in Washington D.C. (?) because she felt like "the Christians being fed to the lions" in court.
- “They didn’t give me coffee” -- On one of the ways in which prison was “torture”
- “My best friend was a black girl”— While discussing that she was in a pod with “drug dealers”
- “But I got to watch the Cowboys game!” - a form of torture?
- “I wasn’t allowed to call to check on my dogs.”
- She considers herself a "social media expert" who "trains others", and couldn't understand how doing a live feed of entering the Capitol with the mob and posing for a photo with a broken window was misinterpreted. (I had forgotten that the video had her yelling "In the name of Jesus!" when she entered the building.)
- Audio of complete interview.
- Side note: The most entertaining part of the mid-day show was, while waiting for the Jenna Ryan segment, co-hosts Dan and Jake suddenly talked about how confused they were that the Bridgeport girls team is named the "Sissies."
- Remember how this former Ranger great was crucified after he was indicted (!) for the felony (!) offense of Injury to a Child (!)? It was, in the end, a situation where the facts were overblown. It was reduced to a misdemeanor, and he received one year deferred adjudication.
- Whose side are they on?
- Oklahoma is booming.
- And if he were smart, he would make this a major campaign issue.
- The Supreme Court agreed to hear a case yesterday, and their ruling can already be safely predicted. Can a Colorado law which prevents discrimination against gay people be enforced against a company which designs wedding websites but refuses to offer its services to gay couples? When it gets framed as as a free speech issue with the web designer positioned as the victim and an "artist", as the Court did yesterday, you know how it will end:
- With all the campaign filing rules, it's easy to miss a deadline and get fined the typical $100 -- it happened to me once. But I have no idea how you owe $33,000. That amount is owed by Theresa Hawthorne who owes it, pictured in the middle.
- For DFW sports talk radio fans only: Former FAN show hosts reunited briefly yesterday when Richie Whitt ran into Greg "The Hammer" Williams (also formerly of The Ticket as well as being Boyd's own). I would think this might be a bit awkward, because Whitt released a multi-part detailed tell-all story of their brutal break up and firing about 10 years ago.
