Random Tuesday Morning Thoughts




Today, people are camping on campuses in protest over Israel's alleged war crimes. Ten years ago people were camping for a chicken sandwich in Arlington. 


  • Yesterday was the year anniversary of the mass shooting at the outlet mall in Allen.  The most amazing part of the story is how the cop that single-handedly took down the shooter has never been publicly identified and has never given an interview.

  • Israel continues to displace Palestinians with a newly launched offensive in south Gaza.
     


  • Of course

  • I'm not a big fan of this criminal case against Trump, but the buzz this morning is that it is Stormy Daniels day in court.

  • Dateline Pennsylvania. He didn't "try" very hard, but it was still wild. Video.


  • Any of you want to go up on an inaugural flight of a rocket made by Boeing? It was scheduled to launch yesterday but had to be called off due to a "problem with an oxygen relief valve."


    • Sounds par for the course:

  • White people are fleeing to Idaho?

  • The Business Second™.  Over the last 10 years, few, if any, things in American society have changed as much as how we watch TV.
  • The older I get, the more disinterested I am in professional, for-profit sports. I just started to ask myself, "Why, exactly, should I care about this team?"
