Random Tuesday Morning Thoughts




Eight Texas inmates and two corrections officers were killed in a prison bus/train crash.


  • Hearings begin today. I bet he's confirmed. I bet all of Trump's picks will be confirmed.

  • This official interactive map of the damage to the homes in California by the wildfires is amazing. It allows you to zoom in and click on a photo of the damage to every single house.

  • The Texas legislature begins its session today. Yesterday we had yet more proof we are overtaxed in Texas and that schools are intentionally being strangled by the legislature.  Translated: There are billions in taxpayer dollars just sitting around. 

  • Another close call over an airport.  I've been warning everyone. 

  • Walmart has tweaked its logo for the first time in almost 20 years.



  • Confusing Fox News graphic.

  • Carrie Underwood has gone MAGA.

  • Special Counsel Jack Smith's 174 page report concerning January 6th and the tampering with the electoral college was released at midnight. And no one will read it. 


  • Gift link.


  • It would be a disaster. And I hope it happens for the entertainment.

     

  • Re: the California fires. If you had an insured home survive which is now in a neighborhood burned to the ground, I'm not sure you wouldn't have been better off having it burn, too. It may be 20 years -- if ever -- before the neighborhood is "normal" again.
