Random Tuesday Morning Thoughts

It never was big news, but I did find out that it led to a $15 million jury verdict.

---

• Wise County jury verdict.  He has elected to have the judge, and not the jury, assess punishment . That phase of the trial continues today.  
  
  
  
• Once nothing changed after Sandy Hook, it was over. 
  

  

  
  
  
  
• But the fact that the shooter was a 15 year old girl is a twist. 
  
  
  
• Overnight. A bombing on the streets of Moscow seems like a bit of an escalation.
  
  
  
  
• WFAA had a story of a car smashing into a home in North Richland Hills, but the television audience had to have done a doubletake once the video cut to the interview of the occupants.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Update from yesterday.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• A Senator really fell for this? Yep.
  
  
  
• Still not exactly Christmas weather. 
  
  
  
• A lot of bending of the knee going on.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• The dumbest people.
  
  
  
• Trump actually sued her and the Des Moines Register yesterday?! So publishing a poll that turns out to be wrong is defamation now?  Welcome to Russia, comrades.
  
  
  

  

  
  
  
  
• The DPS trooper seriously injured in north Dallas is Trooper Austin Parrott. I can't find a picture. of him. 

Random Monday Morning Thoughts

There was at least one report that linked the fight to the now famous Waco Twin Peaks shootout which will happen in the following summer. 

---

• As of 6:40 p.m. on Sunday, three Texas juveniles are on the run out of Granbury. 
  
  
  
• Overnight. And Fox4Terry was on the job.
  
   
  
  
  
• This makes no sense to me. ABC would have won that case. 
  
  
  
• They won't stop until abortion, in any form, is illegal for everyone. 
  
  
  
• An inmate of the Tarrant County jail dies and six days later the Tarrant County DA's office indicted him. They dismissed it once they realized the error. 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Good grief.
  
  
  
• Seems like a normal guy. Story.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• This is great. A Texas legislator went on a rant online about "propaganda" only to be told in the comments that he authored the law, House Bill 3, which required what he was complaining about. 
  
  
  
• Trump was at the Army-Navy game. He's going to get sick of Elon, right?
  
  
  
• In light of the drone mystery in New Jersey, the President-Elect of the United States of America posted this.  Really. 
  
• He got this backwards. He wants to keep Daylight Saving Time. 
  
  
  
• Lawyers in love.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• The Pop Tarts Bowl introduced a great new bit: A trophy which actually functions as a toaster for Pop Tarts.
  
  
  
• We've got an uncomfortable named town making an appearance in the state high school finals at Jerry World this week. (Population 449, by the way.)
  
  
  
• It's a weirdly crowded TV football schedule on Saturday of big stuff: Three (first time ever) college football playoff games, two NFL games, the semi-finals of the always entertaining FCS division, and three championship Texas high school football games in the largest classifications (on what was formerly Bally's).
