Random Monday Morning Thoughts

The Charlie Strong era began in Austin.

• On Friday, an Alaskan Airlines Boeing 737 lost its "door plug" causing it to return to an Oregon airport. It popped off pretty quickly and before the plane had reached a cruising altitude -- a good thing because this would have been catastrophic. 
  
  
  
  
  
  
• By the way, a "door plug", which was found in someone's backyard, is explained here: 
  
  
  
• An awful update on the Jacksboro girl.
  
  
   
  
  
  
• Trump had a trifecta of awfulness over the weekend.
• He called the Insurrectionists "hostages." This is just astonishing. 
  
  
  
• He mocked, with a physical demonstration no less, the deceased John McCain for being injured in the Vietnam war. Video. But Trump is the leading GOP candidate? 
  
  
  
• He said Lincoln should have negotiated to avoid the Civil War. Video. So, like give in on the issue of slavery? 
  
  
  
• Man, she's a spark plug. 
  
  
  
• Everyone just calm down out there.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• We've got headline of the year already. And here's the video (with a nudity warning - well, maybe no warning is needed.)
  
  
  
  
  
  
• They just keep coming - but that was a great way to remember January 6th. 
  
  
  
  
  
   
  
  
  
• Should doctors be allowed to save lives? Stay tuned until the Supreme Court tells us. (Seriously, here's a great breakdown of this case.)
  
  
  
• This is a weird story. The Secretary of Defense was in the hospital for days, and absolutely no one was told - not even the White House. And he's still there and we don't even know why.
  
  
  
• RIP to the the great Lacey Underall from Caddyshack.
  
  
  
• Some NFL fans are in for a rude awakening when they find out Saturday's Dolphins/Chiefs is only on the paid streaming network of Peacock.
