Random Tuesday Morning Thoughts

Look at this ancient history of the Stock Show going all woke.

• Just getting shot and killed on the way home from work last night because of a road rage incident. He was identified as 62-year-old Ricky Langs.
  

  
  
  
• If President Biden had said something like this, we would have had him committed to the nuthouse 
  
  
  
• You're telling me these guys generally make poor decisions? 
  

  

  
  
  
  
• The Messenger is reporting that Wise County is teaming up with AI which makes for a couple I didn't expect to see together.
  
  
  
• Prosecuting the prosecutors? It begins. 
  
  
  
• All of these guys were long term Justice Department employees that have civil service protection, but the rules and laws don't matter any longer. 
  
  
  
• So last night the government paused all checks to anyone other than individuals (Medicare and social security, etc.)? That seems like a big deal since it includes "all grants and loans." Gift link.
  
  

  

  
  
  
  
• The White House released the official portrait of Melania. 
  
  
  
• I knew it looked familiar. 
  
  
  
• Everything this Administration does is for the cameras. She was confirmed on Saturday and is doing ride-alongs with immigration raids on Monday night. 
  
   
  
  
  
• Oh, my. 
  

  

  
  
  
  
• Bad cop.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• I don't exactly trust this Twitter account, and he doesn't tell us exactly where this happened. Regardless, that's a bad look for that new divorcee. Move on, buddy. 
  
  
  
  
• That press conference yesterday was the silliest bunch of mumbo jumbo the Cowboys have ever thrown out there -- and that's no small feat. 
  
  
  
• The opening to the the SNL "50 Years of Music" special last night on NBC was incredible.  Video.

Random Monday Morning Thoughts

The Messenger tried for months to get the offense reports on what happened out there, but the Wise County Sheriff's office would never release them.

• That's a pretty dramatic photo from Friday. "A cell phone worker is in critical condition after coming into contact with a high-voltage wire at the top of a cell tower in Burleson."
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Oh, my. He was transported to Parkland. "While fleeing, the teen jumped over a concrete security fence into the power supply terminal, at which point he was electrocuted and a fire started, police said." But it all started when police were called because the teen was threatening to "hurt himself."
   
  

  

  
  
  
  
• The cry to "round up all those Mexicans" is about to become worse and worse. 
  
  

  
  
  
• The crazy GOP Party Chief isn't helping matters by just throwing out lies. 
  
  
  
• So we are basically going to make a reality show out of the round ups?
  
  
  
• The equivalent of the Brown Shirts/Stormtroopers are coming. Story. 
  
  
  
  
  
  
• It's always a big deal when a police officer gets indicted for murder in the line of duty. It should be a big deal when the case is suddenly dismissed. The Tarrant County D.A.'s office didn't even release a statement. The case just quietly went away.
  
  
  
• Trump and Colombia got into a verbal skirmish yesterday. During the middle of it, the White House released an official statement and misspelled the country's name.

• Did I mention how the Tarrant County Republican Chairman is crazy?
  
  
  
• The Business Second™.  I don't know if this is a big deal or not. "Chinese startup DeepSeek – which has soared to #1 on Apple's app store chart – presented a ChatGPT-like AI model called R1, which has all the familiar abilities, operating at a fraction of the cost of OpenAI's, Google's or Meta's popular AI models."
  
  
   
  
  
  
• In the official Twitter post by the Cowboys on Friday announcing their new head coach, they couldn't somehow couldn't find a photo that wasn't reversed.
  
  
  
• So I finally watched Landman.  It's both horrible and entertaining.
