Random Wednesday Morning Thoughts




Two days later, it was national news.

  • That seemed like a tough case from the start. 


  • I never really thought about fake turf actually being flammable.

    • Last night:

  • Of course.

  • I'm not sure how caffeine-free BYU will handle this.
  • The quality and quantity of local DFW news from all the local TV affiliates and the big two newspapers (Morning News and Star-Telegram) has slowed to almost a trickle. Budget cuts are behind it, and I've never seen it worse.

Random Tuesday Morning Thoughts




The death toll would rise to five. 

  • "Jurors began deliberations in the guilt/innocence phase of Johnson County Sheriff Adam King’s retaliation trial at 4:05 p.m. Monday.  At 10:28 p.m., they were sent home without reaching a verdict. They will reconvene at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday."


  • Good grief. 


  • I don't know if this is true, but being in a hospital for three weeks without an official update doesn't sound good. 


  • He's done. 

  • Yesterday evening: 

  • Kids, you speak for all of us. 


  • Trump had some interesting stock advice yesterday. "Trump’s investment accounts bought between $1 million and $5 million of Dell stock in February." (That's Michael Dell and wife in the background.)



  • He's so unwell.

  • He's putting in a huge helipad on the back lawn of the White House.

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? . . . .
