Random Tuesday Morning Thoughts




This came on the heels of the Dallas shooting. That was a bad summer. 

  • This has to just be a stunt. 
  • Uh . . . . 

  • I'm not one for conspiracies, but after I went through the Wise County bills associated with the Tanner Horner trial and posted the totals on Liberally Lean a few months back, the county website which publishes the data has stopped updating. 

  • I think it took me a second or two to figure out there are two separate mysteries of a black kid going out on the water with white friend(s) and not returning. Mississippi and locally. 


  • It's only a seven second video clip, but I've never seen flames look like they were coming out of a blowtorch like I see here. 


  • ICE did it again yesterday morning. They killed a 26 year old man in front of his daughter. And, one again, there were no body cams, and they were operating in unmarked vehicles.  (And this is why local law enforcement shouldn't join up with ICE with 287(g) agreements.)



  • Meanwhile, in Houston: This is no way to get to the bottom of that shooting. 

  • The Iran war ramped up for the third night in a row. 


    • Related: We have a "Yay!/Boo!" this morning:

      Yay!
      Boo!


  • Trump was promoting a grand prix race in D.C. yesterday, and he got his own racing helmet. Everyone treats him like a Make-a-Wish kid. 
  • Krazy Glue?

  • Two Supreme Court justices, Barrett and Kagan, will testify in front of a congressional committee this morning. You don't see that very often.

Random Monday Morning Thoughts





Jailer Gary Grimm survived a heart attack. 

  • This is not the action of a free country. 
  • Sen. Lindsay Graham suddenly died Saturday night after a "brief and sudden illness" per his staff. 
    • Trump was on Fox and Friends this morning: 

    • He was such a "dear friend" that Hannity misspelled his name. Twice. 

  • Mitch McConnell (or someone) put out a proof of life photo with his hand on that day's newspaper like a hostage. That photo had to have taken hours to stage. 


  • Rep. Ronny Jackson hasn't been detained at a rodeo lately, but he is alive as well and is trying to by a House chair. 


  • I'm sure you've seen this video, but here ya go if you haven't. That poor guy wasn't doing anything wrong. 


  • I don't know what I think about this case out of Mississippi. 



  • Let's check in on that Memorandum of Understanding.


     

  • He's reckless and deranged. 
  • The Business Second™. Apple accuses them of stealing information about hardware that is still being developed.  
  • He's a Justice of the Peace out of Kleberg County. (Background on the arrest, which occurred at a Walmart, is here.)  

     
  • Not to be confused with Sky Mirror at Cowboys Stadium: 

  • Trump went to Walter Reed hospital this weekend for what he says was a "six month check-up".  He was last there just went 46 days ago.

Random Friday Morning Thoughts




And, incredibly, it is still going on ten years later!

  • Are we just going to normalize government agents again just casually gunning down people on the streets of America? 
    • ICE screwed up again. Gift link.



    • No bodycams?! 

    • I'll believe the word of a migrant over the word of  ICE agent every day of the week.  The agency has already proven it will rush out a lie to cover its unlawful contact. 

  • A fire in the meat section of HEB in the Alliance store caught fire last night. 


  • Photo of the vehicle fire on 380 outside of Decatur from a couple of days ago:

  • "A DPS trooper attempted to stop a Chevrolet Malibu due to a traffic violation on Texas 114 near the Tarrant and Wise County line about 10 p.m."  That's a heck of chase to get all the way to Saginaw. 

  • The arrest was a few months ago, and now the sentencing will be in a couple of months. 


  • I don't know why Utah criminal procedure requires a mini-trial before the actual trial, but it definitely has shown that Tyler Robinson killed Charlie kirk. 

  • They are going to steal the mid-terms. 


  • What's Trump doing now? 


  • The defense lawyer in this case is as irritating as can be, but a ham sandwich could win this case. 

  • Keep an eye on this.  He's so nutty that I can see him changing his mind over the weekend. 

  • Not the best week for the Tarrant County D.A.'s office: 

  • A civil case out of Wise County on appeal was decided yesterday which may, or may not, be of interest to some. 

  • Lauren Whitener Clock: 7 years and 5 days.
