Random Monday Morning Thoughts





Yep, this actually happened, and the the trooper would file a lawsuit by the end of the month. During the course of it, we learned that the former $350k Man, the head of DPS Steve McCraw, referred to Snoop as a “dope-smoking cop hater." 

  • A Tesla didn't fair to well in this wreck at the headquarter of the Cowboys -- it was split in half.


  • As I've been saying: He's not leaving. And if he runs and loses, he will declare the election invalid and, this time, there is no one to stop him. Transcript. It's over. 


  • He's on a roll.

  • After finding no one in Greenland who would host him and his wife, the Vice President went straight to a U.S. military base, spent three hours, and then turned around and flew home.  But not before he continued to ramp up Trump's weird call to "take" the country. 


  • This House member says NBC has a video showing Oswald on the ground and not on the sixth floor at the time of the shooting. (Video.) We are the dumbest country. 

  • He really is trying to buy an election.  (Yep, the photo is real, too)
     

  • More like extortion as the Skadden firm, for all intents and purposes, voluntarily agrees to no longer challenge Trump's unconstitutional actions. Everyone is selling their souls to the new autocracy as democracy takes its last breaths. 
     

    • And Trump announced the deal right before Alina Habba (a disciple) was sworn in as U.S. Attorney in New Jersey by AG Pam Bondi (also a disciple) and right before Paula "I'll Sell You Seven Blessings For $1,000" White led the prayer.  All as Ronald Reagan looked on. It's over. 

  • A small plane crashed into a home in Minnesota and a huge fire ensued.

  • A Texas state representative caused the state House to adjourn due to lack of a quorum on both Friday and Saturday.  


  • The Business Second™. When both companies are privately held and one acquires the other for shares of its stock instead of for cash, the largest shareholder of each can put any value on the companies he wants. It's comical.

  • Liberally Lean Pick 'Em standings.

  • A thread of incredible videos from the earthquake on Friday in Myanmar and Thailand.

Random Friday Morning Thoughts




The Texas Senate passed this session's budget bill three days ago, 
and it comes in at $336 billion. 

  • It's going to take a while to know the full impact of this.  But here's a video of a skyscraper under construction collapsing in Bangkok.



  • Classes were cancelled for the day, in this Frisco elementary, and all of the students were sent home.  (Once we get those Ten Commandments posted in schools, maybe they can stop the bullets.)


  • Update.


  • The executive order directs Vice President JD Vance to eliminate what he finds to be "improper."  Talk about Orwellian. This would be done by the "Ministry of Truth" in Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four.  


  • The attack on law firms which might be willing to challenge Trump's unconstitutional actions continues:
    • This firm was targeted last night because it "rewarded Robert Mueller and his colleagues — Aaron Zebley, Mueller’s 'top aide' and 'closest associate,' and James Quarles — by welcoming them to the firm after" the investigation of Trump and Russia.  That is insane.


    • And a shocking move by one of the largest law firms in America late yesterday when it bent the knee even before it was targeted . One of the keys to fighting autocracy is to not "obey in advance." You are watching democracy slip away in real time. Gift link.

  • The official White House account on Twitter continues to get weirder and scarier. 

  • Capitalism and free markets without government intervention have always been a major hallmark of Conservatism. 

  • Oh, good grief.

  • Just a South African billionaire buying American elections.

     



  • Embattled Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has yet another new tattoo as revealed in a new video. It features the Arabic word 'kafir,' which in the Quran means "disbeliever" or "infidel."

  • The Business Second™.

  • Get your guns up if you weren't awake at 11:43 p.m. to see the end of the game.

  • Lauren Whitener Clock: 5 years and 269 days.

Random Thursday Morning Thoughts




And then we would learn that the co-pilot had locked the pilot out of the cockpit and 
then intentionally flew the plane into the ground. 

  • For goodness sake, just admit all of you made a horrible mistake and be done with it. Instead the entire Trump Administration has gone 100% Orwellian and telling us not to believe our eyes and ears. 


    • We've never had a Secretary of Defense look and act like this as he put an embarrassing spin on the situation and then walked away without taking any questions.


    • Incredible.

    • But by the end, he just went into the "not my problem" mode. 

  • Four U.S. soldiers went  missing over 24 hours ago in an area of Lithuania nine miles from the border of Belarus. 

    • And Trump seemed as if he didn't know about it all late yesterday afternoon.
  • Get ready. Assuming he doesn't change his mind tomorrow. 

     
  • The queen of photo-ops was at it again yesterday. Yes, this is real. 


  • One thing about the Trump Administration this time around, they are media geniuses.  Example? In light of the beating over SignalGate they've taken over the last three days, they made the actual Attorney General and the actual FBI director go the the scene of an arrest this morning at 4:30 a.m. and invited Fox News along.  And then they held a press conference about it at 8:00 a.m. to announce the arrestee is "one of the top leaders" of MS-13.



  • The U.S. government snatched another college student off the streets (video) who had every right to be here. Her sin? For "engaging in activities in support of Hamas, a foreign terrorist organization that relishes the killing of Americans." What did she actually do? She wrote an op-ed in the school newspaper criticizing Israel for killing tens of thousands of people in Gaza.  And next they come for who? 

  • You've got to see Marjorie Taylor Greene go off on a British reporter, and please wait until the end when she turns to an American reporter for a different question. It's perfect. 

  • Let's check in on Fox News yesterday.

  • For those who haven't seen the naked woman going nuts at DFW airport last week, here ya go.

  • Decatur Fire Department training photos for those interested.
