ROAD ALERT: AVOID STRESS, AVOID MCDAVITT/BOCA CHICA

(Ed.'s Note: Don't even think about getting on McDavitt Avenue to get to Boca Chica Blvd. from the US 77/83 frontage road north. Instead of turning on McDavitt, continue along the frontage road and get on the Paredes Line Road access north or continue until you get to Boca Chica along the expressway.

If you do, you will likely encounter the scene above because the Texas Dept. of Transportation crews are working on the new medians and have blocked off the right turn lane before you get to Boca Chica. The result is a bottleneck limiting traffic to two lanes, the one on the left to turn left, the other one to go straight and to turn right. At times the limes stretch back two blocks reaching the Villa Verde subdivision. It's highly frustrating to wait for the traffic light to turn to green two or three times before you get to the intersection. You ave been warned.)

If you were holding out hope for 2020 to be any less horrible, consider that the donning of protective face masks in the midst of a pandemic has emerged as the symbolic dividing line in the culture war.

This is both stupid and sadly predictable.

Controversy erupted on the right this week when Rusty Reno, editor of First Things, a once highly respected conservative religious journal, tweeted that “mask culture [is] fear driven” and that “fear of infection” and “fear of causing infection” are both “species of cowardice.”

So gringos don't be a coward and go out and party hardy but before you go say good-bye to your family and friends and specially your idol king trumpjoto.

Few states are rebooting quicker than Texas, where stay-at-home orders expired May 1. With cases still rising, including single-day highs of 1,458 new cases and 58 deaths Thursday, Republican Gov. Greg Abbott has defended the pace by emphasizing steadying hospitalization rates and pointing out that Texas’ 1,200 deaths are still behind similarly big states, including California and Florida.

But on the cusp of even more restrictions ending Monday, including gyms cleared to reopen, a political confrontation is growing over attempts by big cities to keep some guardrails. The dispute underscores the gulf between Democrats who run city halls and GOP leaders who call the shots in the capital in Texas, where unlike in other states, the governor’s orders supersede all local mandates during the pandemic.

Trump abruptly walked out of a press conference after two women reporters confronted him over what he called a "nasty" question. Why did he respond that way?

We know that whatever he accuses others of is a confession about himself. So he is telling us he is "nasty." He has also called Barack Obama and others "human scum." Attributing others with one's own faults can become dangerous. He may project his sense of inferiority and defectiveness onto weak and vulnerable groups, even more vehemently if they are capable women and minorities, and seek to destroy them in lieu of dealing with his feelings.

I recently answered questions about whether his willful inactions count as genocide. While I believe they do, they are possibly worse, since one would potentially do anything not to face feelings of self-hatred, including destroy the whole nation if simply attacking his critics does not work.

Texas health officials reported 58 new deaths related to the coronavirus and 1,448 new cases Thursday, the highest single-day increase for both numbers.

The record number of fatalities brings the statewide death toll from the coronavirus to 1,216, according to the latest data from the Texas Department of State Health Services. The previous high was 50 new deaths on April 30.

The new cases Thursday marked the seventh day in a row that Texas saw more than 1,000 COVID-19 cases in a single day, bringing the total number of known cases to 43,851. There are 18,148 active cases of the coronavirus, the health agency reported.

The increase in positive cases comes as COVID-19 testing ramps up across the state.

Gym location in Brownsville will resume operations on Monday, with new sanitation, capacity, safety and physical distancing protocols in place to continue doing its part in slowing the spread of COVID-19.

I go to a local gym and even before this virus people using the gym "NEVER" cleaned their gym equipment when they finished using it.

Some idiots that go there will "NEVER" clean up the equipment they finished using.

Do you think the gym company will place more employees to supervise and tell the customers to clean up after they finish using the equipment?

NO WAY THEY WILL NEVER CLEAN UP THE EQUIPMENT...

THAT IS WHY I QUIT USING THE GYM BECAUSE OF IDIOTS THAT DON'T CLEAN UP!!!!

It’s time to establish a new standard for our coverage of Trump.

Journalists should still write down what he says, just as we should always listen to the cocoa puffs when they call. But the urgency of our investigations should be informed by what sort of substantiation Trump and his surrogates provide.

Does the press have an obligation to debunk every allegation he makes, even the vague and tissue-thin charges he makes on a regular basis? Who made him our assignment editor?

Trump has cried wolf so many times — deliberately wasting journalistic resources by sending reporters off to investigate spurious charges — that it’s now incumbent upon him to invest his charges with some tangible proof if he expects reporters to follow his lead. At the very least, Trump should explain what law was broken by former President Obama and cite its page number in the legal code, offer to share with journalists the evidence he has collected, and present the criminal or civil complaint he has filed.

Unless and until he does that, reporters have no duty to publicize his blabber.
