Random Thursday Morning Thoughts




Forgot about that.


  • A little excitement at Decatur High yesterday.
  • "Early this morning: Irving police chased the suspected stolen vehicle approximately 12 miles to the 35/Woodall Rodgers interchange [in downtown Dallas]. They say the driver lost control and plunged off the flyover to the ground below killing the 4 inside."


  • The front page of the Messenger has a story of how the Texas Oilman PAC, which was recently embroiled in a White Supremacy controversy, has donated $5,000 to one of the Wise County Sheriff candidates.  That's noteworthy but nothing like the $155,000 (here and here) given to the opponent of incumbent Texas House Rep. Dr. Lynn Stucky -- a blatant attempt to buy our election by outsiders. 
  • TxDOT is advertising in the Messenger about a public hearing regarding a new interchange for highway 287 and 1810 just north of Decatur.  That looks like a new segment of a highway they are proposing.

  • Is Ken Paxton trying to make everyone hate him?


  • Insurrection update. (Video of the moment.)


  • Police say that folks were dealing meth out of a Dairy Queen in Clifton, Texas.


  • No one crashes jets for no apparent reason like the U.S. military.

  • This is at the Northpoint development right at the Wise/Tarrant County line. Story.
