Random Monday Morning Thoughts




I was posting lots of old Bridgeport Index front pages back then. Those are total enrollment figures.


  • Our long state nightmare is over: The the $350,000 Man is calling it quits (after collecting a few more months of checks.)  


    • He deserves no accolades because he will only be remembered for DPS's role in Uvalde:

  • Something to think about as high school football season begins. 


  • Crazy RFJ Jr. "suspended" his presential race on Friday much to the chagrin of his crazy anti-vax supporters. Oddly, he said that he will keep his name on the ballot in non-battleground states because that way he can still win: "In fact, today our polling shows them tying at 269 to 269. And I could conceivably still end up in the White House in a contingent election." Moments later Trump said of the endorsement:  “It's big. He’s a great guy, respected by everybody.”


    • They were on stage later that evening where RFK got the mic and primarily praised Trump because, “I want to make America healthy again and so does President Trump.” I'm very confused.


    • But the best part of that Nevada rally was Kari Lake appearing on stage and getting messages on the teleprompter telling her to get off. Ol' Colton didn't get any action after the first one so he had to invoke Trump's name.

       

  • Members of the San Diego Charges got stuck in an elevator in the The Westin hotel in Dallas on Friday. "Fire department personnel were dispatched about 7:45 p.m., around when a 911 call was placed for an emergency where 15 people were trapped in an elevator at the hotel."  Fifteen?! Isn't their a weight limit on those things, 

  • When you struggle to pay for tuition at a public school this year, take some comfort in knowing that a dorm at SMU is a showplace.




  • She has to be tired of pretending to be giddy whenever the cameras turn on. Especially after she got this news. Remember that this trip, which began June 5th, was only supposed to last a week.


  • Insurrection update. The Granbury lawyer will be sentenced in January.  Here's a video she posted while the riot was going on. 

  • Trump turned into pro-choice on Friday? Yes, this is real.  

  • Those South Walton commercials are good
