Random Thursday Morning Thoughts

I don't remember this story, but I was spot on with the highlighted part. There is no such thing as a scandal today. 

---

• For some reason Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick is there for it and is posting pictures about it this morning. 
  
  
  
•  Oh, my. "The Dallas County Sheriff's Office said she was walking her dog along the highway when the dog ran into traffic. She ran after the dog, but both of them were hit and killed by a car."
  
  
  
• Yesterday the Texas Senate passed a bill to ban all THC products. It's now up to the House. 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• The day started off with the Tarrant County sheriff being at a press conference in Austin telling an obvious lie. (He's in the mandatory cowboy hat, above.)
  
  
  
• A bill to make public schools safer, The Uvalde Strong Act, is sponsored by almost every conservative Texas House Republican. But noticeably absent from the list is Wise County rep.  Andy Hopper. There's a weird (or not) trend of him avoiding everything to support public schools while championing private school vouchers. 
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Because nothing is more important in an elementary classroom than those children being reminded every day not to covet thy neighbor's wife and to avoid adultery. 
  
  
  
• Think this made my head explode?  Yep. And that was even before I saw Robert Jeffress leading the whole thing and standing right next to Trump. 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Quick: What is 2/3 of 100?
  
  
  
  
• First it was Tesla cars at the White House and now the Administration is hawking Tesla stock. Last night U.S. Treasury Secretary Howard Lutnick said on Fox New, "I think, if you want to learn something on this show tonight, buy Tesla. It's unbelievable that this guy's stock is this cheap. It'll never be this cheap again." Incredible. 
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Wise County's representative for the south is now being mocked nationally. Is he eventually going to embarrass us more than Ronny Jackson drunk at a rodeo and cursing at officers?  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Ok, this gal was arrested for speeding 84 in a 55. But there's a twist. "Minutes" earlier, the same cop stopped her for going 79 in a 55. Still, an arrest seems silly.
  
  
  
• Evil Empire news: UT head basketball coach Rodney Terry is gone after the team's loss to Xavier last night in the play-in game. 
• Last chance. Only a couple of hours left! Be like Greg and sign up for the Liberally Lean March Madness Pick 'Em Tourney while you still have time.
