Random billboard that got my attention back in the day. And got some national blog attention as well.
- Most businesses are still closed, it's an extended holiday, there is no Update from the Messenger, but here I am: The Hardest Working Man in Show Business.™
- The Hamas/Israel exchange was in big jeopardy yesterday but, this morning at 8:00 a.m., Hamas was set to release 13 hostages -- all women and children -- in exchange for Israel releasing 39 Palestinians. It has happened per the Wall Street Journal as I hit the "publish" button.
- The Messenger had someone monitoring the scanner yesterday:
- That spot has always been a death trap. But I'm not 100% sure why.
- Man, I don't even have an opinion . . .
- Around noon on Wednesday, a car became a fireball at the Canadian/U.S. border as it literally launched itself into a border crossing checkpoint. (Video.) It turned out to be an accident involving a couple in their 50s in a Bentley on their way to Canada to see, of all things, a KISS concert.
- But in proving we are the dumbest country, a Fox News reporter immediately reported that it was a terrorists attack. Fox News ran with it on TV. Her initial tweet was three sentences long and every one of them was wrong.
- And then, true to form, our dumbest representatives, almost giddy to have a terrorist attack occur, went to Twitter to blame you know who:
- Back to the accident itself, it reminded me of almost the exact same happening at DFW Airport in 2010. (Video.)
- Not the point of this story, but how far away from we are hundreds of thousands of deadly drones launched at the same time which can find their target using facial recognition and AI interpretation of recent GPS historical data? It's like a Black Mirror episode already here.
- Holy, cow! I supported the impeachment of Ken Paxton, but I didn't agree with the House hiring a bunch of outside lawyers who thought grossly more of themselves than their skills justified. And now we have the opening bill for taxpayers disclosed for one of them, and she was third in command. Sheer robbery.
- Don't do that.
- Border crisis!
- A Wise County candidate for the Texas House had the worst advice ever for Thanksgiving.
- He quickly deleted and modified it.
- Current candidates for the Congressional House seat that will represent the southern part of Wise County.
- I posted this JFK photo a few years back when I first saw it, and I'm convinced it doesn't get enough acclaim. It was post-shooting with the motorcade leaving downtown on the way to Parkland. Background.
- Not sure why (probably the parade), but the Tech Tech band was on the plaza of The Today Show on Wednesday morning. Video.
- Time which has passed since the Wise County Sheriff's Office, despite having a full male DNA profile, has failed to solve the murder of Lauren Whitener in her home at Lake Bridgeport: 4 years and 141 days.
