AA VP

Commentary wants former Vice President Joe Biden to pick U.S. Senator Kamala Harris as his running mate. During this pandemic it makes perfect sense and sends a powerful message.  The African American community is being disproportionately targeted by COVID-19.  We also see what is happening in Minnesota.  We need an African American female on the ticket. It is the right and best thing to do.

Minnesota is having a bad week.  An African American male was killed by a Minneapolis police officer Monday evening and the whole world has watched the murder.  The police officer was fired but has not been arrested.  Parts of Minneapolis and St. Paul have been looted and burned down.  Then this morning, an African American male CNN journalist and his crew were arrested on live TV for doing their job.  Way to go, Minnesota.

The CNN crew was later released, and the Minnesota Governor apologized.

A white CNN reporter was nearby and wasn’t arrested.

Nobody needs to explain to Commentary why there is unrest.

Commentary is thinking that U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar from Minnesota just officially saw her hopes of joining the ticket get flushed down the toilet.

Meanwhile, Twitter called out another Donald Trump tweet this morning and Trump’s folks are starting an all-out war with Twitter.  Good. Maybe, Twitter is setting Trump up to kick him off their platform.

Meanwhile, Trump’s punkarse, Ted Cruz, wants Twitter investigated.  Somebody needs to investigate why Cruz is Trump’s lapdog after Trump insinuated that Cruz’s wife was ugly and Cruz’s father was in on the JFK assassination.

In the continuing saga of voting in person is hazardous to your health, Gov. Greg Abbott has announced that he will extend the Early Voting in Person period for the November General Election.  In other words, the State of Texas has no problem if you are under the age of 65 and apply for a mail ballot.  Gov. Abbott just doesn’t want to tell us directly because he is scared Trump will call him out.

Gov. Abbott also said that fans could now attend pro sporting events that are held outdoors at 25% capacity and six feet apart.  Think about this for a second.  Even if you have 25% capacity at six feet apart at The Yard in the summer with the roof open – duh, the sweat factor in H-Town’s heat.  I really don’t believe they think these things through.

What a crazy Friday!

Have a safe weekend and wear a mask if you are out and about.
