Random Thursday Morning Thoughts




The 2014 bi-district game between Decatur and Stephenville was a wild one. Stephenville tied the game on the very last play of regulation. Then, in the fourth overtime, Stephenville won by converting a 4th and 22 for a TD, and then winning it outright on the mandated 2-point conversion by a halfback pass. 


  • This is a five alarm fire for democracy unlike we have ever seen in our history.  I was waiting for the the Attorney General appointment -- without question the most important one Trump would make - and I feared it would be a dangerous one, but I didn't think it was going to be this stunningly dangerous.  
     


    • Someone called me "hysterical" for writing last week that I would be very concerned if I were Jack Smith or Letitia James or any of the other Trump prosecutors.   Well, I'm already at the "I told you so phase." 

    • Under Gaetz, who has no legal experience as either a prosecutor or a defense attorney and basically none as a practicing lawyer, he would serve as Trump's attack dog in the Justice Department which would no longer have its historical independence.  Instead, it would be lead by someone serving as Trump's personal lawyer following insane edicts from the füher without questioning them, and having all the power of the federal government behind him. 
    • I cannot stress enough how insane this is. 
    • Get ready for political round-ups.  
  • Heck, that pick over-shadowed what would otherwise be a shocking pick in the appointment of Tulsi Gabbard, a Russian sympathizer, who will be the director of national intelligence. And her qualifications are just the same as others: Loyalty to Trump. 



  • Surreal moment yesterday.

    • Afterwards, Trump met with Republicans in the House.  Uh, he wasn't joking. I'm serious. He's not joking:

  • Told ya. 

    • Cornyn is up for election again in two years. I bet AG Ken Paxton runs against him. Flashback: 

  • Out of place random thought: A lot of "Say What?" in the news this week. Add this one.  

  • This, which was announced moments ago, is glorious

  • Oh, my.  This is a pretty wild story.  


  • Thank God for new incoming Wise County rep Andy Hopper. I was so tired of getting pulled over going to work and having a vaccine injected into me by a deputy.  Oh, and welcome back polio and measles to your schools. 

  • Random flashback to July, 2022.

  • The Business Second™.

  • Don't do that
