Random Thursday Morning Thoughts

This somewhat odd Rhome PD post made it to Fox 4 News.

• What a weird split screen yesterday where the Epstein victims, led by Marjorie Taylor Greene, were speaking on the Capitol steps while Trump was at the White House at the very same moment telling us it was all a hoax.
  
  
  
  

  

  
  

  
  
• The exact quote from Trump: 
  
  
  
• Barring yet another special session, any change in Texas' THC laws is died last night. 
  
  
  
• This whole thing is weird. It appears she left the child in a running air-conditioned car while she went to work for under three hours.  Returning and discovering the child dead, she drove to the hospital with the story that she had been "driving around" with the child without the air-conditioning working when she discovered he was nonresponsive.  I bet the stop at the fast food stop, which made it to all the headlines, was just an intentional effort to support her "driving around" story. 
  
  
  
• Welcome to Texas.
  
  
  
• Florida is going to kill us all.

• Random image from Congress yesterday.
  
  
  
• Every story refuses to mention the cause of death which generally means only one thing. 
  

  

  
  
  
  
• An Art Briles sighting. He was at North Carolina on Monday to watch TCU whose offensive coordinator is his son.
  
  
  
• When ESPN acquired the RedZone Channel, you just knew this was coming. And if ESPN treats it the way it treats a regular college football game, there will be more commercials than content.

Random Wednesday Morning Thoughts

A county clerk in Kentucky was making national headlines for refusing to issue marriage certificates for same sex couples.  She would be defeated in the next election. Side note: She has been married four times to three husbands.

"At the meeting [of roughly 200 people] Tuesday night, King’s supporters split into three groups to plan how best to support him: one group focused on prayer needs, another on organizing financial help for King’s legal fees and the third on putting together a “PR strategy.”
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Problem solved.
  
  
  
• They certainly do know how to throw a parade.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Wait. We are just killing suspects at will now?  Video. And didn't Wikileaks caused a major scandal by releasing and revealing the U.S. engages in this type of activity?
  

  

  
  
  
  
• Regarding the recent ICE job expo in Arlington, that's a heck of second paragraph:
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Rudy was so injured that he immediately made his way to a podcast mic as soon as he was released from the hospital.
  
  
  
• Ronny might be drinking again. 
  
  
  
• As crazy as she was on the witness stand, she was likeable and authentic.
  
  
  
• And another failure for U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro to secure an indictment from a grand jury. 
  
  
  
• When all else fails, rig the system. 
  
  
  
• Chicago's governor yesterday, "We have reason to believe that the Trump administration has already begun staging the Texas National Guard for deployment in Illinois."

Random Tuesday Morning Thoughts

Blue Bell was back on the shelves after a recall due to  Listeria bacteria outbreak which sickened 10 people across four states and resulted in three deaths. (Did you know that a Blue Bell executive was actually tried because of this on a federal felony case which resulted in a hung jury? He later agreed to plead guilty to a misdemeanor.)

• It sounds like the Department of Defense will be renamed to the Department of War this afternoon.  Sure, it takes an act of Congress to do that, but laws and rules don't matter any longer.

• And the Rocket Man joins them today for a parade. 
  
  
  
• Oh, good grief.  He literally was the #2 man in trying to overturn the 2020 election.  Not to mention that he's a horrible person.  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Also incredible.
  
  
  
• Told ya it would be a failed bit.
