Random Tuesday Morning Thoughts

Wylie made national news when a major hail storm blew through. 

---

• Tanner Horner trial yesterday: 
• After a suicide attempt while in the Wise County Jail, various letters were found in his cell. Some of them were read to the jury. 
  
  
  
• FBI agent David Rogers was in charge of the recovery of Athena Strand's body from the Trinity River. 
  
  
  
  
• Let me tell you, the chief medical examiner for Dallas County looked nothing like I thought she would.  And she does a very good job. 
  
  
  
• I'm pretty sure that's the parents of Athena in the gallery during a break. 
  
  
  
• Jail Administrator Joseph Thomas was called to prove up telephone calls made by Horner from the Wise County Jail.
  
  
  
• We know that Rep. Andy Hopper couldn't get a simple Wise County water bill approved in the legislature last session, and now we get to see how he does with this proposal:
  
  
  
• I don't know if I'd make that job change. 
  
  
  
• You could see this coming from a mile away. 
  
  
  
• Two congressman engulfed in sex scandals, one from Texas, resigned yesterday.
  

  

  
  
  
  
• Metroplex news is getting harder and harder to come by:
• The headline is absolutely the only information in the story.
  
  
  
• This prominent story right now on Fox 4 features an event that happened way back on March 4th.
  
  
  
• Trump was asked about his Jesus post yesterday: “I thought it was me as a doctor, and had to do with Red Cross as a Red Cross worker there, which we support, and only the fake news could come up with that one.”  No one lies as much, and has less respect for his supporters, than Trump. 
  
  
  
• Flashback to this moment in the Oval Office when Trump didn't think he was a doctor. 
  
  
  
• And if you are wondering who that lady was standing next to him, she was allegedly a Door Dash worker "delivering" McDonalds to the Oval Office, and claiming that she saved $11,000 because of Trump's "no tax on tips" policy.  Her husband has cancer so Trump gave her $100. (She also has been used as a political prop in Nevada.)
  
  
  
  
• Speaking of predictable. 
  

  

  
  
  
  
• The Business Second™.  Warehouses!
  
  
  
• Don't look at gas prices at the pump this morning. 

Random Monday Morning Thoughts

A five shot lead headed into the back nine fell apart in 2016.

---

• Horner trial updates: 
• It's certainly national news now.  Not always accurate, but it is a national story.
  
  
  
• Friday witness: A G-Man was in charge of the search of the Fed Ex vehicle. 
  
  
  
• Screenshot of the interior cameras from the abduction van which will record the audio of the killing. 
  
  
  
• The actual abduction van. 
  
  
  
• Former Wise County Sheriff’s Office crime scene investigator Alise Amey testified.
  
  
  
• An unnecessarily combative Sgt. Brett Yaro of the sheriff's office was the last witness on Friday to testify. 
  
  
  
• DFW quick hits:
• The headline is all that we know. 
  
  
  
• "According to a police report, the victims are two women and three men ranging from 20 to 24 years old."
  
  
  
  
  
  
• "One worker has died and a second worker has been critically injured in an electrocution incident while working on a pole at a gas station in the 5800 block of E. Berry Street, FWFD confirms."
  
  
• She was fired on a vote to 4-3 by the city council.  I wouldn't want to be a city manager. 
  
• Trump continues to deteriorate into madness: 
• "Pope Leo is WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy." He picked a fight with the Pope? The Pope??!!
  
  

  

  
  
• Then he posted this image depicting himself as Jesus last night. Let the anti-Christ discussion begin -- with good reason.  (The changes he made from the "original" image are also weird.) 
  
  
• The War: 
• As "peace" talks with Iran fell apart on Saturday night, Trump was at a UFC fight.
  

  

  
  
• Sunday morning: Trump oddly announced that the entire Strait of Hormuz would be blockaded by the U.S.   So it was going to be a blockade of Iran's blockade? 
  
• Then he walked that back later and said the blockade referred only to Iranian ports and not the Strait. It still doesn't make any sense. 
  
• The Trump of Hungary was defeated by a landslide in an election despite the real Trump's full support. 
  
  
  
  

  

  
• Trump has tricked up his proposed arch again.  It now stands 250 feet tall. No one asked for this. 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• The Official Liberally Lean Girl is in rehab.
