Random Monday Morning Thoughts

I don't know who the Dallas lawyer was, but I posted this primarily because of our very casually dressed County Judge who wouldn't dare be seen that way today in a widely circulated photo.

• Story.
  
• The key to this story is that the jury found she acted intentionally.  But I can't find a single report explaining the facts of the case. 
  
  
  
• Fire Round-Up: 
• Oh, my. 
  
  

  

  
  
• That's a big, big house. 
  
• A little Wise County action once it got dark on Saturday night. 
  
  
  
• No details on how this happened. 
  
  
  
• Looks menacing. 
  
  
  
• You do know we are going to pay dearly for this one of these days, right?
  
  
  
  

  

  
  
  
  
• Marching right down the National Mall. 
  

  

  
  
• "Members of the group Patriot Front ride the metro as a commuter looks on, during the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence in Washington, D.C., U.S., July 4, 2026. REUTERS/Cheney Orr"
  
  
  
• Trump selected craziness: 
• "Eight of the people Trump pardoned were diesel mechanics or car tuners who were prosecuted for selling and installing so-called 'defeat devices' into trucks." 
  
  
  
• On the morning of the Fourth of July, he posted this. 
  
  
  
• No, the Declaration of Independence does not say that. 
  
  
  
• So he might not play? 
  
• Or he will play? . . . . 

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

Random Friday Morning Thoughts

Three were killed in the Texas Panhandle.

---

• After being hit in the head by a shot put two months ago, he is finally home from the hospital.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Federal charges were announced yesterday in a 2004 grizzly killing in Farmers Branch, but arrests had been made a long time ago by local cops on stop charges.
  
• Flashback.

• 

  
  
• Remember the guy who claimed Tesla's auto-pilot caused him to crash into a home at high speed? We have an update.
  
  
  
  

  

  
  

  

  
  
  
  
• Good grief.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• It's nuts how some police departments won't release any bodycam after a shooting but others will. Case in point: This video which shows an arguably questionable incident, was freely posted yesterday by a sheriff's office.
  

  

  
  
  
  
• U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro has no idea what she is doing.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Mark my word, this is all part of a plan to steal the upcoming mid-terms. 
  
  
  
• And the grift never ends. 
• Example 1. 
  
  
  
  
• Example 2. (Trump owns stock in Micron.)

Random Thursday Morning Thoughts

Flashback from the Messenger. That's current Atlanta Braves pitcher Bryce Elder on the far right.

• Weight loss and criminal justice stories: 
• The man saw a need amongst him in the hallways and came up with a side-hustle.
  
  
• "Bedell was arrested in September 2025 and was charged with five felonies and one misdemeanor related to illegally selling weight loss drugs."
  
  
  
• This story out of Houston gets even weirder when you learn the restaurant was the very high-tone Bob's Steak and Chophouse.  (Full detailed Probable Cause Affidavit is here.) 
  

  

  
  
  
  
• We've crashed another one. (But this time one airman is still missing.)
  
  
• You don't see this very often:
  
  
  
• Trump yesterday: "By the way, on July 4th, it’s going to be approximately 107 degrees out, and I’m gonna go and I’m gonna make a really long speech just to show that I can do anything."
  
• Get ready for an increase in ICE raids this summer. 
  

  

  
  
  
  
• "A video appearing to show children at a church watching a skit in which boys or men in military uniforms pretend to fatally shoot someone. In the clip, adults and children repeatedly chant, 'Take him out! Blow him up!'"   Yep, it's real and comes to us from Mt. Olivet Baptist Church in Lexington, Kentucky.
  
  
  
• Speaking of electing socialists lately:
• From yesterday: 
  
  
  
• Ongoing: 
  
  
  
• Let's check in on Fox News this morning. 
  
  
  
• Lawyers in the news:  
• "Prosecutors say he has a history of similar behavior. In 2009, he was convicted in Illinois for unlawful window peeping."  Story.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• "Within 24 hours of his arrest in February, his employer at the time issued a brief statement: 'Gabriel Kabak is no longer an employee at the Harris County DA’s Office.'”  Now, months later, we have this . . . .
