- Yesterday in Wise County:
- Decatur made the cover of the Sunday edition of the Star-Telegram along with an inside photo-spread. (Both links are paywalled.)
- Everyone was abuzz on Friday night as ESPN/ABC showed UT quarterback Quinn Ewers awaiting NFL draft results from, of all places, Chico, Texas.
- Wise County Judge J.D. Clark posted some updated courthouse restoration photos
- This was in Saginaw this weekend? In Texas? Yes, that Saginaw. Link with a bunch of photos (also paywalled.).
- I can't say enough about the insane arrest by the FBI on Friday of the Wisconsin state misdemeanor judge. The complaint giving rise to the arrest is here, and you'll notice that she obstructed justice so severely that an ICE agent road down with the immigrant in a public elevator to the ground floor before they decided to effectuate the arrest.
- Judges don’t get arrested in a functioning democracy. It's over.
- The most Nazi thing about the arrest was the AG excitedly running to Fox News to announce that, as to judges like Dugan, ". . . we will come after you and we will prosecute you. We will find you."
- Or maybe it was the FBI Director posting a picture of the judge's arrest.
- Trump and the Pope's funeral:
- The dress code was dark suit and black tie. Not a blue suit.
- There were all sorts of photos from the funeral, but I had never seen this old one of the Pope.
- Trump took time for a photo-and meeting with the Ukrainian president and, apparently, managed not to yell at him for not saying thank you.
- After the meeting and after learning of continued Russian air strikes, Trump wrote that he was beginning to think that maybe Putin "doesn't want to stop the war" at all. Really? You're just now coming to that realization?
- Putin didn't prove him wrong: "Ukraine reported 149 Russian drones launched into the country overnight into the early hours of Sunday, the barrage coming hours after President Donald Trump met with Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy at Pope Francis' funeral in Vatican City."
- Immigrant round-up news:
- One was Colorado Springs. Video. According to AG Pam Bondi, it was a place "frequented by Tda and MS-13 terrorists." That's going to be a recurring theme over the next few months -- even when someone is arrested at Walmart.
- And Florida.
- And in a very bizarre move this morning, the White House has put up hundreds of posters on its lawn of those arrested. Video.
- Lake Bridgeport official hit 100% full this morning. And it continues to rise from last week's rains with more predicted this week. And the spillway gates are oddly closed.
- At the beginning of last week, the Secretary of Navy hired Kristina Wong from Breitbart News as his Communications Director. Over the weekend, he posted what's below. And there was another one that soon followed which also had the wrong date.
- "Landman" will be filming a funeral scene in Jacksboro today. The casting call for extras had asked for people 75 and older. The pay was $200.
