AMERIKKKA

It is September first. Three weeks from today officially inaugurates autumn, but we are still firmly in the grip of summer. The temperatures the last several days have been close to 100 and a blustery wind blows. But as numbers, they hardly matter as Coronavirus deaths in Cameron County near 800, deaths in Texas near 13,000 and deaths in the country near 190,000.

Besides the mounting deaths, the economy staggers into the future as unrest erupts throughout the country. In Kenosha, Wisconsin, another white cop put seven bullets into the back of another black man who miraculously survived. A 17-year-old boy from nearby Illinois walked down a Kenosha street with an automatic weapon and killed two young white men and wounded a third protesting police brutality. Charged with multiple homicides and other felonies, he proudly calls himself a soldier in Trump's vigilante army.

Trump is in Kenosha this afternoon. He is ignoring the black victim and defending the murdering teenager. He says this is Joe Biden's America. He says the murderer had no other choice but to murder or he would have been murdered. This is the reality of Trump's America. A white kid appears from another state armed and shoots three people and he is the victim.

How long can this con game continue? Trump's militants are now claiming that the approximately 190,000 deaths due to COVID-19 are part of a conspiracy to undermine the president because according to their sources only 19,000 have died from Coronavirus. Have Trump's true colors once again shown themselves: white--good; black--bad?

His strategy is blatant. In order to conquer America and capture the presidency, he must divide the country and nothing achieves that end more effectively than violence. He is banking on a reactionary movement that will allow him to eke out slim victories in the swing states and win four more years. He has no problem with cops killing African-Americans. He has no problem with Neo-Nazis killing protesters. He wants violence that he audaciously blames on Biden as he solidifies his base and attempts to increase his support via fearmongering that can only be effective as long as there is blood flowing in the streets.

But when are the silent masses finally going to respond, "This is not Joe Biden's America. We remember the eight years of the Obama/Biden's America. We were healthy. We were working. We lived peaceful lives. We are literally fighting for our survival in Trump's America. Millions are looking for jobs in Trump's America. Racism reigns in Trump's America. Our children cannot safely go to school in Trump's America.

Trump is playing with fire. You cannot fan the flames of divisiveness and not get burned. Because of the virus, I live in fear. With Trump unfettered, my paranoia only increases. Four more years of this man-child playing with matches and our nation, consumed by a huge conflagration, will go up in smoke. Trump's America is a living hell. Trump's America is an infernal without hope. Trump's America is the devil's delight. I yearn for the Obama/Biden years. If we are going to weather this firestorm, the next four years have to be Biden's America.

REMI THROWS ELECTION TO BIDEN

Cameron County Elections Administrator Remi Garza is so Democratic that he bleeds blue. But how deep is his loyalty to the party? Does he rival George Parr who provided the crucial votes from Duval County that allowed Lyndon Baines Johnson to defeat Coke Stevenson for the U.S. Senate in 1948 and pave LBJ's path to the presidency? We would hope so. He knows that Trump is a cancer who is destroying our country. He knows that a figurative civil war is taking place as a result of Trump's polarizing politics that is eviscerating this nation. He knows that Trump is the epitome of evil and as a result of his many mortal sins God is punishing the United States as if we were Sodom and Gomorrah. Granted, it won't be an easy task. Trump defeated Clinton by 800,000 votes in 2016. To be on the safe side, Garza needs to find a million votes. Cameron County went for the Democrat, 60,000 to 30,000. Garza, therefore, must find 970,000 votes. Parr only had to deliver 200 votes, but Garza isn...

GROOVIN' ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON

In history there are events that change the sequence of time, the birth of Jesus Christ the most obvious example. But in communities, nations and the world there are occurrences that will serve as a reference point in the lives of individuals. There is the before and after of the earthquake. There is the before and after of the flood.  And there is the before and after of the war. As we know from personal deaths in our own families, existence subsequently changes forever. For me there will be the Coronavirus before and after. As a baby boomer, I escaped Vietnam because the country sent white trash, ghetto blacks and barrio Mexicans to do the fighting while we middle-class white boys partied through college. If I had had the combat experience, I'm sure my perspective would be different, but I didn't. With the exception of a few passings, my life has been free of trauma. I don't take this fortunate fate lightly. I knocked on my head regularly. Coronavirus, however, has perman...

JASON MOODY SITS FOR INTERVIEW

Jason "The Jackal" Moody, the new public information officer for the Brownsville Independent School District (BISD), is well-known in political circles. He has advised scores of candidates who, in the end, have usually lost to Rodrigo Moreno's Pink Ape aspirants. At The McHale Report we prefer imaginary interviews to the real thing because they don't take much time and they are more enjoyable to pen because we have more of a penchant for fiction than we do for realism although we mix them on occasion which has made Dr. G.F. McHale-Scully, our founder, famous world-wide for creating the fictional/realism genre. Our good friend Robert Sanchez contributed an inflatable woman to the blog. We filled her with air and her dimensions were quite extraordinary. Sanchez had previously baptized her Nubia and the name seem to fit her sensuous state. We sat her in a comfortable seat. Cris Valadez, ex-County Judge Carlos Cascos' former aide, is a ventriloquist. He sounds quite s...
