Sunday's big news

There's a lot of news tonight.  In Texas, the rain just keeps coming.  It's not quite 40 days and 40 nights, but it's more than anyone alive ever saw before in the USA.  The new storyline is "why didn't they evacuate Houston?"  The answer is that the governor of Texas told people to evacuate, but the mayor of Houston said to stay put.  By tomorrow, the media will make this President Trump's fault rather than pointing to the Democrat mayor.  It won't matter.  Too many people are paying the price for staying in the city. 

In Berkeley, California, there was a riot by the Antifa as they attempted to shut down a small rally in favor of prayer and free speech.  Even though there were no Nazis at the rally, the Antifa denounced the participants as Nazis, a charge which somehow requires the media to describe their riot as actually fighting against hatred.  The irony is great because the Antifa carried shields that announced their fight against hate; then they used the same shields to smash people over the head.  The local police did not step in to stop the melee.  Once again, a local leftist mayor let a group of leftist thugs beat and intimidate any opposition.

The news that probably got the most attention tonight was the season finale of Game of Thrones.  I won't discuss it in order to avoid spoilers for anyone who has yet to see it.  All I can say is that it was a rather major disappointment.
