Random Tuesday Morning Thoughts




The swim coach actually got indicted over this for criminally negligent homicide, was found guilty, and sentenced to three years of probation. 

  • This was caught on video, and one officer clearly shot a civilian at point blank range.  But if you watch it (graphic warning), you can see how it could happen. 


  • Midland is in the news again for another shooting.  Absolutely no details are available as to what happened other than this was allegedly committed by an employee at work. 

  • Dateline Azle. 

  • I don't mind this strategy, but I wouldn't have announced it during jury selection. 


  • You're getting a little greedy there, buddy. 

  • Oh, my. (It happened near the Louisiana border.)

  • He will lie about anything. 

    • Flashback: May 4th. 

    • Then he got bent out of shape over this guy doing a pretty funny bit. (And thought he needed to explain the bit.) 

  • I watched a little of this case.  The prosecution never had a chance. Video of verdict reading is here


  • I made the switch to YouTube TV and, let me tell you, huge thumbs up.  It's fantastic.

Random Monday Morning Thoughts




Not a bad question. 


  • The Cattle Rangers have a press release.


  • The speed was incredible, but I'd tape the brakes before we all blame Tesla.Video.


  • They are really after him down there. 


  • I really spoke too soon last week. 

  • But the wreck didn't occur on I-35 as you would assume. It was on highway 171 southeast of Hillsboro. 


  • Nothing snarls traffic quite like the I-20 crash on the way to East Texas. And this was a big one.  


  • Dateline Lake Conroe.  Man, she went flying. Video.



  • There's some bad karma floating around the Lincoln Memorial these days. 


  • Dramatic fire at a resort in the Dominican Republic.  It was at "the Viva Dominicus Beach by Wyndham resort is located in Bayahibe."

  • Don't pick up the peeling paint in the relecting pool or the Trump Police will come for you. And now he has even brought in the National Guard. 


  • I didn't believe this was real, but it was. 

  • And we had this weird post on Saturday night.  Sleuths finally figured out who that woman is, but we still have no idea what Trump meant.
  • From the U.S. Open. That's funny. And real. 

  • Alan Greenspan, the former Chairman of the Federal Reserve under four presidents, has died at age 100.

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

Random Friday Morning Thoughts




And now the new home of the Dallas Mavericks. 

  • This should never happen.


  • And, frankly, neither should this:

  • A judge can't ban someone from the state as a condition of probation, but I suppose he can do it as a condition of bond.   And the assistant DA sure got fired up during the hearing: “What he does for a living is engage in this cosplay to get clicks so he can raise money, That’s what he does. He spews his neo-Nazi nonsense in hopes of getting more views.”  Can't argue with that. (Gift link.)


  • I'm surprised the guy got a not guilty verdict after that one. (Gift link.)

     
  • When you call a screwworm that, it gets your attention.

  • How's that new peace deal coming along in the last 12 hours? Well . . . 
    • There will be no signing ceremony today or any negotiations at the start of the "60 day period."

    • Bad news. Big fighting between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon overnight

    • And there it is on early Friday morning: The strait is now closed. (This account below has been reliable throughout the war.) 

  • Fox News is mad this morning that Trump wasn't invited to the opening of the Obama Presidential Library.  There is no way he was going to get an invite. 

    • Flashback to a post by Trump just last week:


  • "People on this panel probably take ivermectin. I take it probably every couple of weeks, you know, when I'm around a crowd of people and it works pretty well" - Rep. Andy Hopper at the 3:00 minute mark of a video he posted yesterday. 

  • The Business Second™.  ICE will be selling warehouses?

  • Legal nerdy stuff:  Yesterday the Fort Worth Court of Appeals reversed a pre-trial ruling suppressing evidence in DWI case that should never have been suppressed by the judge.  Interesting note: It was the same judge that presided over the Tanner Horner case who was reversed.
  • Lauren Whitener Clock: 6 years and 350 days.
