While the amendment provides presidential voting rights, it did not grant D.C. voting representation in the U.S. House of Representatives or the Senate. However, due to the District of Columbia Delegate Act of 1970, D.C. has one non-voting delegate in the House. Since the 1964 election, Washington, D.C., has consistently held 3 electoral votes.
I dropped my phone last week, and it’s beyond repair. I ordered another, but it took five days to arrive in the mail. I heard a segment on the Ticket about how people typically feel better when they go without their phone for several days. Nope, that wasn’t my case. Heck, I missed the “little things” like being able to pick up a curbside grocery order at Walmart, which is so much more convenient than parking, walking inside, finding your items, and then going through the checkout line.
While browsing Netflix, I saw Crazy, Stupid,Love was about to leave. Since I’ve never watched it, I decided to give it a try. In the movie, Steve Carell’s character is a bit of a nerdy but kind-hearted man going through a divorce, loving on his kids, and trying to figure out his new life. The next day, I decided to give Carrell’s new HBO Max show, Rooster a try. He basically plays the exact same character.
I can’t divulge any details, but earlier this week, I spent almost two hours being interviewed by a couple of federal agents about an ongoing investigation. They even gave me homework, asking I provide documentation, and I may have to meet with them again in the future.
These folks are a different brand of Christianity, a type I certainly don’t want any association with.
While the Baker Hotel renovation is going slower than expected, I’m surprised at the level of detail they are putting into it. Looks like it’s going to be a top-notch job. If I didn’t have to live in Denton County, I’d probably move back to Mineral Wells just to work on that hotel full-time.
This shirt is in the new film “Project Hail Mary.” It will sell like bonkers, and I must have one of them.
BoyGeeding and I watched Project Hail Mary on opening night in IMAX. It exceeded my expectations. So much so, it may now be my favorite movie of all time. Sometimes the theater experience is worth it. To hear, see, and be a part of the audience, experiencing all those initial reactions. You know a movie is good when the credits roll and just about everyone applauds. Even if our two tickets cost me and my boy over $50
Dallas Cowboys fans should know that the title of the movie is thanks to Captain America, Roger Staubach. While “Hail Mary” has been around a long, long time, Staubach is often credited as popularizing it.
So, now here’s the only thing I really didn’t like about the movie, and I promise this isn’t a spoiler. If it is, it’s of the smallest variety. Anyway, at one point, see the main character wearing a Niners jersey instead of a Cowboys jersey. All I’m saying is, if Staubach is credited with making the term popular, so much that it’s part of our nomenclature, and the title of the movie and name of the ship is “Hail Mary”, then the filmmakers could have at least thrown a small little bone to Captain America and had Ryan Gosling wear a Cowboys shirt.
And for any of you who have or will see the spectacular film, you are more than welcome to first my bump anytime you see me in public.
Coaches used to wear suits during games. That’s no longer true in the NFL, though a few tried to buck the trend over the years. You certainly don’t see it in the NBA. But I was surprised to see a decent amount of coaches sporting them during March Madness.
Sadly, at some point, the Nancy Guthrie family will have to make the difficult and painful decision to sell their mother’s house. I doubt she will ever be found, and I’m left to wonder if Savannah will ever feel comfortable going back to work. If she does, I bet it won’t be in journalism.
I recently learned that giving your phone more attention than the person trying to talk to you is a form of “phubbing.” It’s a combination of the words “phone” and “snubbing”.
Chuck Norris and former FBI Director Robert Mueller died close in time, so I guess they will be sharing an apartment in the sky. That’s one apartment you wouldn’t want to break into.

I’m really impressed with this logo. All things Dallas and Texas are in the background. And since it’s spring, you see bluebonnets. Not to mention the military-shaded green in the background and all the nods to WWII, with the propeller-driven fighter plane and Donald in a bomber jacket, scarf, and flight goggles. I give it a big thumbs up.
Bet the farm, this man will soon run for elective office.
Border Patrol’s Gregory Bovino to retire, sources say – Gregory Bovino, the U.S. Border Patrol head who became the face of President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown, will retire at the end of the month, two Customs and Border Protection officials told NBC News.
It’s too early to do it now,
Rodney Mims Cook Jr., the Trump appointee who chairs the Commission of Fine Arts, is proposing replacing the columns that frame the White House’s main entrance.
Many architects and designers say they’re baffled or even horrified by Cook’s proposal. https://wapo.st/40wQ1ac
A TikTok video showing a deaf passenger being removed from a Frontier Airlines flight has sparked widespread outrage online, after the woman said she was taken off the plane because she could not hear a flight attendant.
The footage, posted by TikTok user legallyswiftie13, captures a tense exchange between airline staff and passengers on the plane as the woman explains she is deaf and had already noted the accommodation on her ticket.
In the footage, a gate agent appears to advocate for the passenger while the flight crew insists she must leave the aircraft.
The passenger, who is visibly emotional in the video, repeatedly says she is willing to comply, but feels humiliated by the situation.
It even involves child-labor with kids manning two Texas Lottery ticket terminals to win $57 million.
In 2023, an Australian syndicate, led by Bernard Marantelli and Zeljko Ranogajec, attempted the ultimate gamble: buying every single number combination in the Texas State Lottery.
We reveal how the group spent $26 million USD to secure a $95 million jackpot, involving around-the-clock ticket printing.
But the win has sparked a firestorm in the United States. With the Texas Rangers now investigating and the State’s Lieutenant Governor alleging the jackpot was “stolen from the people,” we look at the legal fallout and the third Australian who played a key role in the operation.
In this investigation:
The Strategy: How the syndicate identified an opportunity. The Logistics: Rare footage of the 72-hour printing marathon near Austin.
The Players: The roles of Marantelli, Ranogajec, and Abe Adrian Camilleri.
The Fallout: Why Texas politicians are calling for criminal charges despite no laws being explicitly broken at the time.
Something for my fellow geeks. Lindelof knows how to write a heartfelt and sincere apology.
