Most people look at our judicial system with a little bit of skepticism, but let's face it, it has flaws, but you would be hard pressed to find a better one. This has been a joke...from a dem standpoint. Judge gave money to the Biden campaign. His daughter has some devious connection through the firm she works for. Bragg is a piece of human garbage, and they'll all trying to make a name for themselves. Fifteen minutes of fame. Alitia James wants the amount raised back to the original amount, so she can start the 'fire sale'. This is pathetic....and nothing close to how our judicial system should play. If the 'judge' was a decent and 'fair' guy, he would recuse himself. But he's a narcissistic ass, like how many think of Trump. Maybe as big of a deal has the OJ Trump, they all want to be a part. I haven't seen one well-educated attorney type, 'ivy league' type say one good thing about this trial...not one. It's just a real sad black mark on our system, IMHO. Costly for all involved, senseless, and just plain UGLY!!! BTW, calling it the "hush money" trial is assinine....b/c hush money is legal. There hasn't been any real serious crime committed here, and to jump it up to a "felony" is preposterous. When you say "joke from the start", from whose perspective? OMT, unfair 'gag order'! Trump is now ordered to be at this trial while he could be out 'campaigning' as the only competition this POS in the WH has. Again not kosher, not fair, pure bulls**t!!!!!

Great post! (depending on what side you're taking! LOL)

I live up here North of Amarillo. Born here, and been here my whole life. I haven't lived in town in about 38 years now, I guess. I can't, and won't live in town. I just can't imagine not being able to pee off of my porch because Bob next door is out cooking on his grill 20 feet away from me.
For me, the Big Texan, and Cadillac Ranch are just tourist places. The Big Texan has ok food, but it's pricey, and the place is busy, and not really a reflection on the history of this part of the world. The Cadillac Ranch was built by a crazy oil millionaire named Stanley Marsh. I remember when he did it, and it became an icon here.
Ole Stanley was a sorry, shameful individual who died too easy a death for my taste.
As a Northeast Yankee, one you definitely need to see is the Palo Duro Canyon. Second largest canyon in the nation. The state park part of it is just a snapshot.
I've been blessed in my life to be able to go out on the ranches, who own most of the canyon, and other places here, and see a lot of historic things that the average Joe doesn't even realize exists. It's rough, wild country with a rich history of overcoming adversity, and survival.
If yall ever come this way, I can direct you to some places other than the typical tourist places.
Sorry to ramble, but, I'm Texan from head to toe. Texas is a magical place.
