It was on 3/6/15 when I first I took notice, and first made a reference to, Trump being connected to the presidential race (although he had not yet declared as a candidate.) "Interesting", I said. The election would be that November.
- At 6:00 p.m. EST today.
- "A punk singer’s performance at a Mansfield sports bar has been canceled after backlash from some residents over his ties to the Proud Boys, a far-right nationalist group." I don't think management knows their clientele. It's Mansfield for crying out loud. There would have been a huge adoring crowd once the Proud Boys news got out.
- Another week in Texas.
- Elon Musk blew up another rocket last night. How much of our tax dollars did he use on this?
- He has no idea what he's doing. "One day he’s telling us that tariffs are amazing because they will bring lots of new jobs to the U.S. and raise so much money we won’t have to pay income tax, then the next day he’s telling us we aren’t doing them because people were nice to him on the phone."
- This week in authoritarianism:
- Trump banned an entire law firm from working for the federal government based upon who it had represented in the past.
- The new U.S. attorney for D.C. sent a bizarre letter on his office letterhead threatening a private law school. (Gift link.) Odd side note: It was dated February 17th but not emailed until March 3rd.
- Trump, moments ago, opened our borders to South African farmers (who just happen to be almost all white). We have migration eugenics happening right before our eyes.
- I missed this from Trump's speech on Tuesday:
- Very nerdy stuff: The Fort Worth Court of Appeals reversed a capital murder conviction yesterday in a very high profile case out of Wichita Falls. The reversal was based upon a boilerplate search warrant affidavit for a cell phone (and other devices) which was insufficient to establish probable cause. The court applied a 2021 decision from the Court of Criminal Appeals which really gave the court no choice other that to reverse. (Concurring opinion is an odd "We are so sorry" document.)
- Lauren Whitener Clock: 5 years and 247 days.
