Random Monday Morning Thoughts

And that state park was the Fort Richardson State Park in Jacksboro.

---

• The driver was seriously hurt, and a horse was dragged Friday night. Video.
  

  

  
  
  
  
• Scant on details.
  
  
  
• The courts, for the moment, are tamping down on Elon and his DOGE kids. 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• But it's only a matter of time before Trump starts ignoring the courts. That's the next step as to where we are headed, and the handwriting is on the wall: 
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Trump is a master at showmanship. Example: Once they basically shut down the USAID, he dramatically had the agency's name removed from the building for the cameras.
  
  
  
• Everyone thinks the photo is funny, but there is something very disturbing about some spare guy on behalf of DOGE keeping a member of Congress out of the Department of Education building. 
  
  
  
• More gutting of the government coming:
• FEMA on the chopping block? Trump has already hinted at it.  
  
  
  
• The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is next.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Trump also illegally fired three board members of the Kennedy Center on Friday, and said he will now be dictating the institution’s “art and culture” which “must reflect” what he chooses. The only artists who will get inducted and honored now will be Lee Greenwood and Kid Rock -- probably annually.
  

  

  
  
  
  
• More major news outlets have been kicked out of the Pentagon, replaced with Trump propaganda mouthpieces.
  
  
  
• We live in the dumbest times: 
  
  
  
• Trump retweeted Roger Stone this weekend.  They will be coming with criminal prosecutions of the prosecutors soon. 
  
  
  
• I already mentioned one Not Guilty verdict in Tarrant County week but there was also another one.
  
  
  
• Of Course, The Sequel (from Friday)
  
  
  
• The former head of the Dallas County DA's office appellate section says Wise County's Andy Hopper is in search of a solution to a non-problem.
  
  
  
• Bad criminals: 
  
  
  
• My favorite Super Bowl commercial was the kid who beat cancer but for some reason had to walk home from the hospital wearing boxing gloves.

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

• Trump keeps "joking" about running again but, let me tell you, he's not going to leave in four years. Write it down.

• Trump claimed Tommy Tuberville coached Patrick Mahomes while at Texas Tech (which he didn't) and completely made up a conversation that he had with Tuberville about it.  Just a boldfaced lie. Video.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Oh, come on.
