Random Tuesday Morning Thoughts





Before there was George Floyd, there was Freddy Gray. Six officers would be indicted but none would ever be convicted. 



  • Lake Bridgeport is now over capacity, and Pete Delkus says we are in new "Flood Watch."


  • Chaos in Southlake. Both officers will be all right, and the motorcycle cop is really lucky.


  • A Justin Police Department officer shot and killed someone who was evading.

  • A River Oaks policeman made a traffic stop ,and the driver then shot himself as the officer was at the driver's window.


  • There has to be something going on between those two. Both guys were armed (the guy in red is now dead), but the man in the vehicle had an AR-15 style weapon. Video.


  • A US official said initial reports from the scene indicated the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier made a "hard turn" to evade Houthi fire, which contributed to the fighter jet falling overboard.  Aircraft carriers can make hard turns?


  • What's this mean?

  • He's a child.

  • It's the 50th anniversary of this photo and of the United States officially leaving Vietnam. 

  • Legal stuff: Do you think a law firm can get away with filing documents in federal court with this watermark on each page?: The answer is "no" with the federal judge writing: "Use of this dragon cartoon logo is not only distracting, it is juvenile and impertinent. The Court is not a cartoon."

  • At the first press briefing yesterday, the Fox News White House correspondent wanted to know if Trump influenced the NFL draft. But that question wasn't as bad as the very first question from the "new" type of press which sounded like it was right out of North Korea. 

  • Breaking: Amazon will start listing the "tariff tax" at checkout. At a just concluded briefing this morning, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said, "This is a hostile and political act by Amazon." Huh? It's just listing a tax that you refuse to call a tax.
