It's Friday -- Let's Get Out of Here

Random Friday Morning Thoughts




I couldn't find any reports about a subsequent criminal prosecution, if any.

  • Plane crash in Palo Pinto County yesterday. 

  • Around 200 people are still missing. 

  • From Oklahoma. 

  • A Wednesday afternoon "targeted atttack" in D.C. has now left a 20 year old National Guardsman from West Virginia and another critically injured.  "Officials say he ambushed them outside the Farragut West Metro station, firing repeatedly at one Guard member with a .357 revolver and then turning it on the other before he was shot himself."



    • To drive all the way across the country from Washington state just seems beyond weird.



    • This may be one of the most tone deaf things Trump has said. Video
  • Fuzzy Zoeller has died. I had forgotten how bad thos comments at Augusta really were. Video flashback.
  • The Business Second™.  This is in Coppell.

  • Big 12 playoff tree to see who could end in in the conference championship game.   It's great. The SEC, ACC, and Big 10 scenarios are here.
  • Arizona State actually did this for this week's game. 

  • Lauren Whitener Clock: 6 years and 147 days.

Random Wednesday Morning Thoughts




I had been given a 1984 issue of the Alvord News which I posted.  Click to enlarge. 

  • New this morning. Seems pretty noteworthy. 

  • Back to reality (and to something that makes a delayed turkey not seem like a problem at all), a huge fire in Hong Kong occurred while you were sleeping.  The death toll has risen to 13 which seems low. 


  • Gift link.


  • Dateline Brownwood, Texas. It was actually an Assistant County Attorney, but you don't see this everyday. And it was allegedly during the prosecutors plea negotiations with a defense lawyer. 


  • I've got a hunch about this whole thing. "The 18-year-old Florida high school senior had been traveling on the Carnival Horizon ship with members of her blended family when her corpse was found stashed under a bed — wrapped in a blanket and covered with life jackets. Authorities have not confirmed who may have been behind her death, but court documents from an unrelated case have indicated that Kepner’s unidentified 16-year-old stepbrother, who was sharing a room with the teen at the time, is being eyed as a suspect."


  • I bet this will be a prosecutor's nightmare. (The link is a video which shows all the kids being rounded up.)

  • Welcome to the Autocracy. It's over.  


  • The Blaze, which published her name, is in big trouble. Story. 


    • Crap like this spread like wildfire earlier this month.


  • Happy Thanksgiving everyone. 

  • If he wants to rename the Republican Party this morning, he might want to workshop those names a little bit. 

  • RIP to this American hero. 

  • UNT just learned that its coach will be leaving. Not the best timing for that announcement to be made.

  • Messenger - Above the Fold

Random Tuesday Morning Thoughts




I had posted this 2015 cover of Texas Monthly back then. Little did we know that that the escalation of home values was only just getting started. 


  • A pretty slickly produced video taken from footage of the Wise County Courthouse Rededication day has been released. (YouTube link.)

  • "The Santo Volunteer Fire and EMS department later confirmed that the driver is a member of their team, who was airlifted for emergency care."
  • Story.

  • Lots of sinning going on here  "Donald Doolittle, 58, has served as the safety director of the Gateway Community Church of Webster, about 25 miles southeast of Houston, for 10 years, according to an affidavit filed with the Harris County District Court."



  • Welcome to the Autocracy.  A former Fox News weekend host, who now heads the U.S. Military, is threatening to court-martial a sitting U.S. Senator and Veteran for saying troops should not follow "illegal orders."  This follows on the heels of Trump calling for Mark Kelly's execution.  It's over.


    • And that Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, just posted this: 


  • The only lawyer in America that Trump could find to hire as a prosecutor to go after James Comey and Letitia James was never properly put into place:

    • The Wall Street Journal this morning:

  • I still don't understand why the Fort Worth Fire Department continues to send out their own photographer to take glamor shots while an actual fire is going on, and then posting them online. They did it yesterdary.

  • Tara Reid was either drunk or unwittingly drugged at a Chicago hotel bar. And, of course, someone will take their camera out and film the immediate aftermath of it. Video.


  • Based upon names alone, I have found the my favorite Texas high school football playoff matchup: Katy Jordan (9-3) vs. Sheldon King (10-2), 2 p.m. Friday.  (The loser will get custody of the kids every other weekend.)
