Random Wednesday Morning Thoughts




(From Random Thoughts on 8/1/14.) I just knew there was was something about that guy. And I was right. In 2021, he would be sentenced to 15 years in federal prison for scamming people in the oil and gas industry.


  • Two big stories out of the Middle East that make you want to hold your breath.
    • Israel pulls off an assassination inside Iran. 

    • Israel pulls off a rocket strike of Beirut.


  • We've got a dog assassination by a security guard inside the Kenneth Copeland compound close to the Wise County line. "According to Sylvia Clark, a family member of the owners, the dogs were shot by a security guard on the property of Eagle Mountain International Church. Both dogs were wearing their collars, and it should’ve been obvious they were pets, Clark said told the Star-Telegram . . . ."


  • Crime quick hits:
    • The Derby Desperado bandit has been identified and arrested


    • A car theft ring, centered in Grapevine and targeting luxury vehicles, was broken up. When of the guy's homes was raided, they found a Corvette and Lamborghini in his garage. 


    • Some guy either mentally unstable, high, or drunk destroyed a bunch of potted plants in downtown Fort Worth. Video.


  • Kamala hit the road and pulled no punches against Trump. Megan Thee Stallion served as the warm-up act in the rally in Atlanta. The campaign has changed dramatically in just one week.  (Video of the crowd.)
     



    • Trump seems a little worried.

  • The Fifth Circuit is absolutely insane. It was an en banc opinion yesterday evening and a 9-2-7 vote.

  • I don't believe his claim at all


  • There's something ironic about America, of all places, not being able to win an Olympic shooting contest. 

  • It took a while to get here, but it has arrived.

  • England is torn up over a mass stabbing, but there have been riots in the last 24 hours "fueled by misinformation" . . .
