Random Friday Morning Thoughts





I was still posting old Index covers back then. I wrote that I thought it was weird that the funeral home came out to a crime scenes back in the day. Only recently have I learned that they still do on occasion(!)


  • Fox 4 has basically no information about this story other than a couple of facts that they learned from New York public documents, but that one fact is a heck of headline attention grabber.

  • Let me make a dark prediction: There is going to be a major disaster in or right above an airport in the next two years. These close calls happen all the time now.

    • I didn't even mention this slow impact collision at the Atlanta airport two days ago which knocked the tail off a plane

  • The still new County Judge of Tarrant County, Tim O'Hare, who is a MAGA extremist with a history of running local government into the ground, thought he could ramrod through a measure to kill voting locations on college campuses. Last night he was shot down.


  • She bought the vape at a local convenience store (this stuff is sold on every corner). "Kendall endured months of lost wages, court costs, debilitating emotional stress and a state jail felony, punishable by up to two years in prison. That felony remains on her record despite Collin County eventually dropping the case." One of the underreported punishments that the criminal justice system doles out is how some courts and prosecutor offices treat defendants simply by forcing them through the process.


  • If there is one organization that needs to pay more than Fox for the election lies, it's Newsmax.  But, I suppose, since their audience probably totals 1,000, the demation damages should be legally smaller. 

  • Trump
    • He wants no part of that disaster again.

    • In a speech last night, he's added geese to "They are eating your dogs; they are eating your cats" lie. Video.  But he's now using "migrant" instead of "illegal immigrants."  It's 1933 Germany all over again.  Migrants are the new Jews. 

    • And why exactly did he have nutcase Laura Loomer on his plane while going to the debate and accompany him the next day to Ground Zero? Gift link.  Side note: She called Lindsay Graham "gay" yesterday.



    • Who would have thought these lies about eating cats and doges would have had any consequences?

  • The Business Second™.

  • Texas State almost beat Arizona State last night, but here's a fun fact: There was an extra play that happened after ESPN ended its broadcast.
  • Time which has passed since the Wise County Sheriff's Office, despite having a full male DNA profile, has failed to solve the murder of Lauren Whitener in her home at Lake Bridgeport: 5 years and 70 days.
