Random Wednesday Morning Thoughts




The low was 68 this morning. 


  • Protest updates.
    • An army of NYPD officers descended, through a window, upon a building at Columbia which had been occupied by protestors. Amazingly, things ended quietly and smoothly. 


    • But everyone might want to keep an eye on UCLA.


    • The University of North Texas managed to have a protest yesterday. Somehow police over there understand if you just let them be, everything is peaceful. 


  • Southlake High School cancelled classes today.

  • Trouble in Austin not related to protestors.

  • Bridgeport High won a state title. 


  • The new Tim O'Hare administration in Tarrant County is beginning to hit its stride.


  • This isn't real, is it?


  • A barber ends up saving a young child who was sprinting towards a busy intersection in Connecticut. Video.

  • Update from yesterday's trial: 
    • He's still cold.

    • But Fox News told me he wouldn't let Trump go.

    • There is no one more embarrassing that AG Ken Paxton. And did the taxpayers pay for his trip to New York to sit there?

  • Legal nerdy stuff: The Fifth Circuit saved IBM from a $1.6 billion jury verdict yesterday.

  • All I can hear in my head is Jerry saying "Blockchain com!"
  • One of the biggest misconceptions I see with regard to the all the protests is "Hate speech is illegal."  Of course, it is not.
