Random Friday Morning Thoughts




I had forgotten what an ordeal this was for her. 

  • Good catch by Wise County Scanner.   Wood was sentenced to life in prison in August, 2022 for shooting and injuring officer Rex Richie with the Rhome PD. Wood is now dead. 


  • Two bullet holes alleged to have come from a shooting range 1.2 miles away? I see a proof problem. 

  • It was a 10 year sentence. The defendant graduated from Highland Park High School. The victim "grew up in the Preston Hollow neighborhood ."
     

  • You don't see this very often. It involves Gainesville head football coach Neil Searcy. Gift link. 

  • New this morning. It doesn't just happen here. 

  • They still haven't released a single video of him.

  • New this morning. But all of this really doesn't matter. In the unlikely event Blance is not confirmed, he will still serve indefinitely as interium Attorney General.
  • We're doomed x 2: 

  • In Flock camera news:


  • Ignoring the Supreme Court again as his own personal Joseph Goebbels is at his side.


  • Grifters gonna grift. The law firm is in Texas and has no experience in this area.


  • Legal stuff:  A few months back, Keller ISD was sued for having only at-large school board seats instead of single member districts. The was thrown out by a Fort Worth federal judge.  But this is the first time I saw wherthe judge ordered the lawyer for the Plaintiff to get hit with big attorney's fees. He's now appealing.  Gift link

  • sLauren Whitener Clock: 7 years and 33 days.

Random Thursday Morning Thoughts




Wise County touched by the White House. 

  • The fire near Lake Bridgeport continued burning until yesterday.  In all, it burned 906 acres.

  • Kids, be careful out there: 
    • Krum


    • Justin 


        • Although I've never understood parents casually giving interviews when your kid is in intensive care. 

  • I was about to say "this seems harsh" until I learned he was defrauding the families of inmates.

  • Let's strap a 97 year old to a plane and set a record? 

  • Trump debuted new hair yesterday.

  • Legal nerdy stuff:  Federal Judge Brantley Starr out of Dallas just did this in a footnote. Yes, it is real. 

  • Messenger - Above the Fold

Random Wednesday Morning Thoughts




He gave us the picture of him eating chicken with a knife and fork. 

  • Random Wise County dangerous driving video. (Facebook link.) Side note: This Facebook account will apparently be teaming up with the Messenger in some way.

  • Commissioners' Court Chaos: Video of this guy getting kicked out, and video of what caused the whole room to be cleared by crazy County Judge Tim O'Hare.


  • The number of times "luxury" is used in this story is bizarre.

  • Don't do that.

  • I haven't heard about this guy in years. Apparently he was cutting himself on a live-stream last night which freaked everyone out. 

  • I don't know who this guy is, but you can easily find the video if you are so inclined.


  • Here's an idea for reining in Trump: Don't vote to confirm his unethical AG nominee. 


  • This will make Republicans giddy. (Note: NBC is the only network to project him as the winner in a very close race.)

  • I've often mentioned how much I despise Rep. Jeff Leach. Last night he introduced Ken Paxton. 

    • Flashback:



  • Trump was acting unstable for another day yesterday. 

  • Gift link. 


  • We are waiting on confirmation as to whether a SpaceX rocket crashed into the moon last night (as planned.)
