It's Friday -- Let's Get Out of Here






Random Friday Morning Thoughts




Tiger pulled out of a tournament because his glutes wouldn't fire. 


  • Another plane incident. 


  • Random impressive parking in Houston.


  • The shadow president posted this last night from the Oval Office.

  • Of course.


  • Who is bribing Gov. Abbott for him to have this change of heart?

  • How would you like that window of time if you were an Argyle resident?

  • This announcement at the National Prayer Breakfast didn't get enough attention. Crazy Paula White teaming up with the AG of the United States. 



  • Wise County used to have just Ronny Jackson to embarrass us in Congress, but now he's got competition from the other representative for the south part of the county. 

  • Trump keeps "joking" about running again but, let me tell you, he's not going to leave in four years. Write it down. 

  • Big Bill shows up at the NFL Awards last night with his 24 year old girlfriend on his arm and Super Bowl rings on this fingers.

  • Man, everyone is taking shots at the Mavericks.

  • Lauren Whitener Clock: 5 years and 219 days

Random Thursday Morning Thoughts




I honestly didn't remember this incredible footage.


  • I told you those prosecutors were going to be targeted.  This is amazing and shocking, but we all just sit back and twiddle our thumbs and scroll on our phones.


  • Bridgeport's own J.T. Manoushagian is in the news again as he does some post-gym crime fighting 

  • Only the Texas House can save us now

  • And, once again, the Fort Worth Fire Department sends along a professional photographer to capture some action shots. (Facebook link.) 




  • Trump claimed Tommy Tuberville coached Patrick Mahomes while at Texas Tech (which he didn't) and completely made up a conversation that he had with Tuberville about it.  Just a boldfaced lie. Video.



  • Oh, come on. 

  • What could possibly go wrong with the names of CIA agents out there floating around?

  • New this morning: Elon now has access to to the personal data of "millions" of federal employees. 

     

  • Texas rep can't bring himself to honor a singer who happens to be black.


  • Did they mistakenly get deported immediately afterwards?

  • In Wichita County, six inmates have died in the Texas prison up there since January 17th.

  • Messenger - Above the Fold

Random Wednesday Morning Thoughts




The Wise County "missing dogs" story (that I thought just had a two day news cycle) morphed into a story of all the dogs missing from Decatur, and it ended up on "Inside Edition." 


  • A judge who got Paxton'd in the Republican primary has been appointed to preside over Wise County's most sensational murder case. 

  • He's crazy. He's shockingly crazy.    




    • 1.8 million Palestinians would be without a home, and U.S. troops could be used for the occupation and "rebuild." Do we still have a Congress?  
    • This is MAGA. Trump said he wanted to turn Gaza in the "Riviera of the Middle East."

    • Look, a Gaza takeover will never happen.  There would be a bomb go off every day at every hotel -- assuming every worker wasn't murder or kidnapped during the years of construction. Even the mere suggestion last night of a Gaza takeover by Trump will probably get Americans killed right now. 
    • Didn't expect to see the play-by-play man of the Dallas Cowboys, who happens to be Jewish, enter the fray

  • "Some people are saying" that the Gaza announcement is nothing more than a Trump distraction trick. They might be right. While you weren't looking yesterday, Trump was moving without guardrails at blinding speed:  
    • 1. The most dangerous appointee, a Trump yes-woman who is an election denier, is now at the head of the Justice Department after the Republican senate rubber-stamped the nomination. 



    • 2 "The Central Intelligence Agency, in what officials reportedly claimed was an effort to bring the agency in line with Trump’s agenda, offered buyouts to its entire staff on Tuesday." Did Putin order this? 

    • 3. The largest humanitarian aid organization in the world is no more.  

    • 4. Two of the craziest appointees were voted out of committee yesterday and are on their way to confirmation. 


    • 5. Just like he said he would. 

  • Closer to home, Northwest ISD will cut 101 teaching positions. And the legislature is about to gut schools even further with school vouchers.  

  • This is a follow-up from yesterday.  The defendant testified on his own behalf, the defense lawyers were court appointed, the jury deliberated for only three hours, and the jury also rejected the lesser included offenses of manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide.

  • An arrest has been made in the road rage shooting on 820 in Fort Worth last week during rush hour: Koby Burkhart, 22

  • In Maine, a 29 year old guy became the subject of a domestic violence call and decided to get into a shootout with police. He lost. The video he posted right before his death is as nutty as he is/was. His Twitter account is also a wild ride.


  • Eleven dead in a mass shooting in Sweden.

  • Man, keeping up with all this is exhausting.
