Random Wednesday Morning Thoughts



This "moving" of Halloween by the Decatur City Council even made the national AP wire. 



  • We had the Allred/Cruz debate last night. 
    • Allred's best moment was calling Cruz out for contesting the election in the Senate hours after the Insurrection took place. Video.

    • Ted's worst moment: Dodging an abortion question from one of he moderators three times at the very beginning of the debate and then complaining about being asked. Video.

  • Jerry Jones got crossways with his interviewers in his weekly interview yesterday. Audio. There have been a lot of people say that this was a calculated plan by Jerry so as to make headlines. I don't believe that at all.

  • Everyone can get bent out of shape about this, but the government will kill him tomorrow.

     


  • We have an update on the missing San Antonio woman.  Kind of. She hasn't been found in the landfill, they are just looking in the landfill.




  • Early voting: "Roughly 252,000 ballots were cast in Georgia yesterday, shattering the previous record of 136,000 in 2020." That means something, but I'm not sure what. 

  • Trump:
    • One day after standing on stage for 38 minutes while music played, and three weeks before the election, Trump went to social media last night to hawk his latest grift of cryptocurrency.  Amazing.


    • Trump taking questions from a Bloomberg reporter was cringe-worthy yesterday.
    • No one might hate Trump as much as Drudge.

    • I obviously knew of Musk and Adelson (the Mavericks owner), but I wasn't familiar with Uihlein. He is the "the chief executive of the shipping company Uline and one of the wealthiest people in the Midwest."
  • The Business Second™.  When you see mansions everywhere and wonder, "Who are these people?", I guess its people involved in businesses I've never heard of  . . .  

  • It's official: The Tampa Bay Rays currently have no place to play in 2025 since there is no way Tropicana Field can repaired in time. And they may just tear it down. 

  • Tom Brady is now one of the owners of the Las Vegas Raiders. 
  • Very nerdy legal stuff: The number of cases set for oral argument in all 15 Texas courts of appeal and the wild disparity between them.
