Noted in Passing

March 2:  a bomb explodes on a front porch in Austin, Texas, killing one person.

Alec Baldwin, whose dying mediocre career was saved by his terrible impersonation of me on SNL, now says playing me was agony. Alec, it was agony for those who were forced to watch. Bring back Darrell Hammond, funnier and a far greater talent!

March 12:  a bomb explodes in Austin, Texas, killing one person and injuring another.

THE HOUSE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE HAS, AFTER A 14 MONTH LONG IN-DEPTH INVESTIGATION, FOUND NO EVIDENCE OF COLLUSION OR COORDINATION BETWEEN THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN AND RUSSIA TO INFLUENCE THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

March 12:  another bomb explodes in Austin, Texas, injuring one person:

If schools are mandated to be gun free zones, violence and danger are given an open invitation to enter. Almost all school shootings are in gun free zones. Cowards will only go where there is no deterrent!

California’s sanctuary policies are illegal and unconstitutional and put the safety and security of our entire nation at risk. Thousands of dangerous & violent criminal aliens are released as a result of sanctuary policies, set free to prey on innocent Americans. THIS MUST STOP!

March 18:  a package explodes in Austin, Texas, injuring two people.

Spent very little time with Andrew McCabe, but he never took notes when he was with me. I don’t believe he made memos except to help his own agenda, probably at a later date. Same with lying James Comey. Can we call them Fake Memos?

A total WITCH HUNT with massive conflicts of interest!

March 20:  a package sent from Austin, Texas to an Austin, Texas address explodes at a sorting facility an hour south of Austin.

The Democrats do not want to help DACA. Would be so easy to make a deal!

As many as 500 federal agents are reportedly investigating these crimes.  That investigation is obviously not of any interest to the President.

Why does the Mueller team have 13 hardened Democrats, some big Crooked Hillary supporters, and Zero Republicans? Another Dem recently added...does anyone think this is fair? And yet, there is NO COLLUSION!

UPDATE:

Well, at least it's from the White House:

.@POTUS mourns for victims of the recent bombings in Austin. We are monitoring the situation, federal authorities are coordinating w/ local officials. We are committed to bringing perpetrators of these heinous acts to justice. There is no apparent nexus to terrorism at this time.

— Sarah Sanders (@PressSec) March 20, 2018

And the President did say, today:

"Local, state and federal law enforcement working hand in hand to get to the bottom of it. This is obviously a very, very sick individual or maybe these are sick people, and we will get to the bottom of it. We will be very strong. We are searching what's going on in Austin — a great place, a tremendous place — It is absolutely disgraceful."

I'm guessing the "nexus" to terrorism will be if a suspect is identified who is non-white and has a "Middle Eastern" name.  Because planting bombs randomly and mailing them through shipping services sounds pretty much like "terrorism" to me.  I know if I was still living in Austin "terrified" would pretty much describe my feelings.

Further update:  I can now confirm a U.S. Representative from Austin was in a meeting with Trump when he had the comments quoted above.  Undoubtedly the only reason Trump said anything at all on the subject.
