Alex Jones Update
Juanita Jean Herownself promised all y’all an update on Alex Jones. When she shared her treasure trove of Toons with me, she asked me to share this news. Also to let you know that she’s recovering well from her latest excursion to the medical establishment, but it’s hard for her to do a lot of computer work from the comfort of her new recliner. Plus, there’s spring season baseball to keep up with in preparation for the 2024 season. You know her and baseball, so we’ll all cut her some slack. I’m inserting some photos to enhance your experience and share her joy (and immense pride).
Here’s where it stands. After a prolonged and fairly serious medical event, JJ luckily recovered enough to go see the premiere of Dan Reed’s HBO documentary about the Alex Jones trials at SXSW (South By Southwest). Since bluebonnets are in bloom early this year, it was an enchanting drive to Austin and the weather was perfect. Special thanks to Thelma for hauling her and all her ‘stuff’ safely to Austin and back.
“We were given VIP tickets and that was so much fun.”
As could be expected from Alex Jones fans, there was a bomb threat called in right before the event but that did not curb anyone’s enthusiasm. Mark and Judge Maya Guerra Gamble got a standing ovation!
Here’s the documentary A team: Attorney Bill Ogden, Maggie (Director of photography for the film), Mark (aka Little Bubba), and Dan Reed, Director.
The documentary is amazing. You can read a review here.
Those in the know say it will be shown on HBO MAX before the end of the month. You MUST watch the trailer!
After the event, Mark and his partner Bill Ogden enjoy a picnic lunch with close friends.
.JJ wants you all to know “I am feeling well, but I take life a little slower. More baseball and movies than CNN. It’s good and Ben is one inch shorter than I am. I told him he could quit eating because he’s plenty big.”
And finally : “The high-class chair was a gift from Mark because if I’m a VIP, I deserve to watch my baseball games in style.” Indeed you do. Let’s fill the comments with good wishes! We all love you
Glad to hear JJ is on the mend! Please take it easy, JJ, and enjoy the baseball!
1I don’t read this blog real often, as I follow two others on a daily basis, plus I must give time to domestic chores and watching PBS and the Chicago franchise. Thus, I did not know JJ was indisposed, so I am glad to read she is on the mend and I admire the lovely new recliner! Hope she is enjoying baseball and the chair, and hope also she can spare a thought for our poor family, eternally loyal to the Cubs, so very futilely…Anyhow, thanks for the information about JJ! Get better every day!
2JJ, we are so blessed to see you in these photos. You were missed.
Thank you for all you did and do. Getting us through this hell and making us laugh hard.
Please take good care. Enjoy BB season!
Our gratitude to Mark and all who worked on this case and film.
Sending our best wishes from Montana!
3Glad you’re doing well and enjoying baseball Miss JJ!!!
4Comfort and style—precisely what you deserve. Here’s to exciting baseball games being the only events you have to deal with.
5We’re so glad to hear you’re getting better! Continue your recovery comfortably and watching your Stros (maybe this year we’ll be watching them in the WS (against my Dodgers!))!
6We’ve marked our calendar for March 26 to see the HBO film on the evil Alex Jones.
Best wishes for a full and rapid recovery, JJ. Miss the hell out of you.
7Is Maggie single? Asking for a friend.
8Great to see you enjoying life (and baseball) in that nifty chair. Take care and come see us when you can.
9Such good news! We’ve really missed you, JJ. Glad you’re on the mend, and Go Stros!
10Thank you so much for the update! It’s just great to hear that JJ is doing well and getting ready for the Astros.
Looking forward to watching the documentary on HBO.
11My very good friend and political opinion buddy got me hooked on JuanitaJean herownself and I check in on a regular basis. It is the most wonderful site and I tell all my other friends and family about it. Unfortunately my 98 yr old mother is not really into using her computer these days so I just give her all the highlights. Thank you for giving us long time Texans something to be proud of.
12As someone famous once said, “take it easy, but take it.” Wishing you improved health, more happiness, and a big Democratic win in November.
Very glad JJ was able to make the trip to Austin and bask in some of Lil’ Bubba’s fame. He should have gotten her that chair–he’s busy suing Elon Musk these days–and getting paid won’t be nearly as much of a problem as it is getting Jones to fork over what he owes.
Funny, but I was listening to my Nats beat Miami in a ST game while reclining in my own (not nearly as nifty as JJ’s) chair this afternoon. Really weird, but beautiful, 75 degree weather here in DC. The cherry blossoms are getting ready to pop a little early this year and I was prompted to start cleaning up my garden and thinking about rearranging everything. My hydrangeas need repotting.
13Sending Ms. JJ best wishes for great health and even better times spent in her spiffy new chair watching the ‘Stros go all the way this year!
14Looking forward to seeing the documentary.
So sweet to see Ms JJ and hear that she’s on the mend and keeping herself well entertained. May each day be filled with love, joy and baseball.
15Get well soon, JJ/MsB.
And for something to watch early this morning, try a Starship launch that is happening this morning, from Boca Chica Beach* in Deep South Texas!
This should be awesome! The most powerful rocket yet flown, this launch should fire all 33 booster engines. This is an unmanned test flight, the previous two tests ended in ‘constructive’ RUDs [self-destruction], hopefully this will do better.
Liftoff scheduled from 0700 CDT, window lasts until noon or so.

* I used to wadefish Boca Chica. And sailed off of it from SPI down to the Rio Grande River, back in the ’70-80s. Sometimes hunted the flats too.
Now there’s a freaking Spaceport there.
16That is one helluva chair. Take care of yourself J.J. You’re missed around here. We love you.
17Great to see JJ! Been checking in here daily forever. Y’all are my favorite Texans and I love what you do there in the land of my birth. Keep up the good work, get well and stay well.
18Thanks for the update….Miss JJ, we’ve missed you amid all the seriousness of current analyses. You always seem to put inane and insane things in the right perspective! Just keep on healing and enjoying this lovely baseball spring!
19I miss you. I hope you have a speedy recovery and return soon. In the meantime, I am enjoying all the other contributors. Thanks
20So nice to hear from you. Y’all take good care, we need you!
21While we’re waiting for JJ to resume her duties here, let’s enjoy her baby boy ripping Aaron Rogers a new one:

Glad Mark ripped into him. Wish A Rogers would also get sued. A most obnoxious sports celebrity may be Jr RFK’s running mate because besides denying the truth about Sandy Hook, he was a Covid denier and anti vaccine mouthpiece. Perfect fit to be Jr’s running mate.
23I’m so glad to hear you’re on the mend. It’s been worrisome wondering how you’re doing. Now I’m going back to look at the trailer for L’il Bubba’s documentary and find out what’s he’s doing about Aaron Rogers. There are so many deplorables out there these days, and your son is doing God’s work calling them out and making them accountable. Love to you from Alaska.
24L’il Bubba sure has a way with words. That was an awesome series of tweets to Rogers. Wow!
25Great pics thanks! Great job Mark and
26Get well JJ, time to ‘play ball’!
“Walt Whitman once said, ‘I see great things in baseball. It’s our game. The American game. It will repair our losses and be a blessing to us.’ You could look it up.” My favorite quote from Bull Durham and it applies here-our losses include reading your Molly Ivins like commentary on all things Texas political, the Friday cartoons, and in general, hearing about the latest adventures of you and your family (a blessing to us!). So glad you are on the mend and like Annie, you see great things in baseball. Blessings on you as the season begins and the Astros begin their quest to reclaim the trophy from Arlington, Texas.
27Holy Cow! It’s going viral:

28Thank you for the family update, Fran.
29Sounds like JJ has a good seat for the season, great company and many blessings. Cheers!
Your acorn didn’t fall far, JJ. He uses his words well, even the
30ones his mama prolly told him not to use. Oh, but those red hot words do help to make a searing point to the likes of moron quarterbacks who need to hear them. He does you proud.
Rest easy in that chair and recoup your strength. We’ve got
quite a battle forthcoming.
Hey JJ!
31Hope you are feeling better!
I am jealous, that chair looks mighty comfortable.
Since we’ve been talking Alex Jones this week, this from Jeff Tiedrich today:
32“hey leftist: Alex Jones wants to eat your ass.

yes, Alex Jones really did post this to his own twitter feed.
I have no comment, other than to say it’s great that Alex is open to broadening his sexual horizons.”
Article from Crooks and Liars this morning exploring which conspiracy theory is Aaron Rodgers’ favorite. Note a ways down how he and another freak, Joe Rogan, are sharing their mutual love affair with none other than Alex Jones. As expected.

Glad you are one the JJ
34Hi JJ! I’m up here around Chicago but will look forward to watching along with you when the Astros visit the Cubs on April 23, 24 and 25! Be well, Susan.
35So happy that Fenway Fran included your pictures and comments for your followers! It’s hard to read good news these days, but you lifted my spirit. I’ve missed you very much but am very thankful that you are recovering well. Your followers send you love and prayers … so much kinder than those nasty people that talk about Princess Catherine. p.s., Mark is an awesome lawyer and son – we love him too. 🙂 Blessings.
36Delighted to see you getting better and thinking about kicking butt…..you have ample time for both. Your son is wonderful. I see great parenting involved. Stay comfortable and enjoy the new baseball pants…..and the games, of course….Indy Fran
