Random Friday Morning Thoughts

It was a quick verdict in the wild killing of the Kaufman County DA and his wife. 

---

• Insurance executive killer update: I'm stunned he's not been identified once this pic came out yesterday. I bet the cops do know his name but are just trying to quickly nab him near his home base. If they can't find him, then they'll release it. Just a wild guess.
  
  
  
• But there is more proof to my "they know his name" theory: They know when he was on a particular bus? 
  

  

  
  
  
  
• So long as Trump supports Hegseth for defense secretary, I think he'll ride out this storm and get confirmed. Plus, he's throwing out a Jesus force field:
  
  
  
  

  

  
  
  
  
• Edit: Trump just reaffirmed his support on Truth Social this morning. He'll get confirmed. The Senate will bow the knee to MAGA.
  
  
  
• It gets worse: "His 20-year-old son was identified by KYTX and KHOU as Mark Howard, who the outlets reported had Down syndrome."
  
  
  
• Found his profile and office.
  
  
   
  
  
  
• Rep. Pat Fallon embarrassed himself yesterday.  The crazy video can be seen in two parts. 
  

  

  
  
  
  
• Kind of legal nerdy stuff. Texas Supreme Court judge Nathan Hecht is receiving all sorts of accolades as he is being forced into retirement because of his age. 
  
  
  
• I called him out in 2007 for almost getting lawmakers to force the taxpayer to pay his private $300,000 lawyer bill to fight an alleged ethics violation. 
  
  
  
• The Weather Second™.
  
  
  
• The Business Second™.  This is on Highway 114 and in the Northwest ISD. And you just thought traffic was bad now. 
  
  
   
  
  
  
• This was building yesterday and just became official. MAGA can claim a new victim. 
  
  
  
• Incredibly nerdy legal stuff I learned yesterday: There's a death penalty offense in our state which is not in the Texas Penal Code but which also gives the jury the option to sentence a person to just two years in prison after conviction.
• 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 155 days.
