U.S. SENATOR JOHN CORNYN: "We still don't know whether children can get Coronavirus and transmit it to others."

EDITOR'S NOTE: We know that our president has lost his mind, but are Republicans rejecting the cold facts of figures? There are more than 135,000 Americans dead and there have been more than three million certified cases of COVID. We are experiencing in excess of 60,000 new cases every day, the highest case number since the pandemic snuck into the country while Trump was dyeing his hair and practicing his putting. The Rio Grande Valley finds itself in the eye of the storm as people are being swept away in bigger numbers every day. Hearing that an acquaintance has passed is losing its shock because we don't have time to register the impact when more bad news arrives. Now we have Senator Cornyn uttering absolute nonsense that he hasn't seen any evidence to support that children are contagious as Trump is intent on his suicide mission to reopen schools at any cost in August? Is Cornyn purposely ignorant? Is he out-of-touch with his own state? Doesn't his staff provide him with reports? Trump refuses to hear bad news, so his aids shield him from reality in order to avoid upsetting him. Is Cornyn short-fused also? The Dallas County Health and Human Services published that 1,534 children tested positive for COVID in the month of June alone. Why do children visit their pediatricians on a regular bases for their shots? They have a weak immune system. They haven't been a part of the herd long enough to development natural defenses to infectious diseases. As all teachers know, and I speak after decades of experience, flu sweeps through classes because students are in contact with hundreds of other individuals every day. If this pandemic isn't under control in little more than a month and kids are forced into classrooms, we will have an unprecedented spike that will cost thousands of lives. COVID doesn't pull any punches. If you could, ask the 135,000 dead if they believe Trump has done a "great job" and would they give him a "ten" for performing herculean feats? Then there are the enablers like the pitiful Pence who looks at the score board with a final score in which his team has lost, 56-0, and, straight-faced, has the temerity to declare that the tide has turned and his players are on the verge of bringing home the trophy to conclude a championship season. Taking his cue, Cornyn, with the stats staring him in the face, suggests that children are not part of the contagion. Can you imagine if Trump--surrounded by his yes-men--had been prime minister of England instead of Winston Churchill during the Nazi's 1940 air invasion?!?! The citizens of London would be speaking German. Cornyn is Trump's lackey who doesn't want to confront the horrific truth because he doesn't want to confront his master. He has no room in his vision for the stacks of dead bodies.)

L ike a hound pointing to its game, the Spring Breaker followed his boner to his condo with the blond co-ed in tow. She had stepped up to the beer bong thrice and could barely walk. He led her into his room and stripped her of her thong as if he were peeling a banana. He was soon straddling her when he stopped an inch short of entering her shaved pussy. "I must confess something," he said. "What?" she slurred. "I have tested positive for HIV." "Have you tested positive for Coronavirus?" she asked. "No." "Then let's fuck, cowboy!!!"

I was standing at the bar at Cobbleheads when I saw owner Joe Kenney walking past. I grabbed him by the bicep. "Pretty flabby for a guy from Phillly," I said. "Fuck you, Sully," snapped Joe before continuing with that goofy accent. "What do you want?" "I didn't get a chance to wish you Happy St. Patrick's Day! I'd pinch you on the butt since you're not wearing green, but you have a lousy lookin' ass. Let's toast the San Patricio Battalion." "A bunch of filthy traitors," spat Joe. "General Scott should have hung all the bastards instead of branding the majority of them." "You were in the Herald saying that Mexico and the United States had special ties as a result of these Irishmen switching sides in a war that Abraham Lincoln criticized as imperialism run amok." "It's all about business," confessed Joe. "I can't express my true sentiments about those Benedict Arnolds. I h...

My patio faces east. In the early afternoon the sun has embarked on its ancient descent toward the west and I relax on my lawn chair in the shade. I breathe deeply. My lungs are clear. Coronavirus has me contemplating life from a variety of angles. I am led to believe that those who suffer death from the disease suffocate. That doesn't sound like a pleasant exit to me. As a result of this grim reality, I have quit smoking dope. I don't want to weaken my lungs any more than 55 years of puffing on joints has wreaked on them. I have been retired for three years from the BISD after the superintendent threatened to fire me if I kept writing. I chose to keep writing. It is my spiritual calling. I had contributed 39 years to the school district and I was working for free. Retirement was a logical option. I don't miss the job, but I do miss my students, athletes and colleagues. I liken my present existence to floating down a lazy Hill Country river in an inner tube. Little did I kn...
