Herschel Walker Must Be Trolling Us
Since announcing his candidacy, Walker has claimed to know of a cure for Covid-19, lied repeatedly about having a college degree, skipped debates with his former Republican primary rivals, avoided questions about his actual residency in Georgia and ugly episodes with domestic violence in his past. None of that stopped him from demolishing his competition in the GOP primary this past Tuesday, setting up a race against incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock, a Democrat who also happens to be the lineal occupant of the pulpit once stood in by Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

We are divided by walls Invisible, but gun enforced Ignorant, stubborn stalls. We talk and talk - it’s déjà vu Rephrase, rehearse Wipe off gunpowder residue. Rat-a-tat, rat-a-tat, life in one shot, A high price is paid for freedom Rat-a-tat, rat-a-tat, Souls dissipate without a reason. Sound of discharging cartridge falls one by one on the ground A single pull of the trigger, Silenced a once happy playground. Written in 2012
I Can’t Breathe
A sudden force threw me off my feet.
Oh dear God! What just happened?
The counterfeit twenty trapped me in.
The counterfeit twenty became my sin.
Andrew Jackson sealed my fate
You shut me up, in fear I’d be talking.
Knee to the neck with vigor and with hate.
If only I could see your face.
If only I could see your eyes.
Are you human or the devil in disguise?
With face on the ground I feel the accuser.
Crushing pain in my chest.
The heart is pleading for a chance.
A sharp bonny knee in my face.
Dear bystander, please help me,
I cannot breathe, I cannot breathe...
Quiet. A sudden peace.
The body lifeless on the ground,
The summer wind blows soft kiss
Let go, let go. The heart skips beats.
Let go, let go. The life surrenders.

Writing this, I’d only just gotten my 4th Covid shot and was feeling woozy. Rather than working on my novels, for several days I slept, hence this post is short. Fortunately, as of this morning, I’m back to a very grateful normal. Besides the added immunity, I’m especially appreciative that for the first time since I got Covid a year and a half ago, earl grey tea doesn’t…

” Ler deve ser sempre um convite. Todo leitor ao pegar um livro, deve ter o cuidado de abri-lo como se estivesse servindo alguém, não por obrigação, mas um ato prazeroso, satisfatório, íntimo. A leitura tem essa coisa de provocar o êxtase, o tesão insaciável da descoberta genuína de estimular a imaginação. Muita gente pode pegar ou mesmo, ter um livro em casa, mas o grande desafio é essa aproximação. Por isso, que para se fazer uma boa leitura é preciso ter concentração, para aproveitar os benefícios ao máximo.

Uvalde shooting: Texas school gunman ‘walked in unobstructed’ – BBC News
“They [didn’t] make entry immediately because of the gunfire they were receiving,” Mr Escalon told reporters.
But an hour lapsed before the gunman was killed in a shootout after US Border Patrol tactical teams arrived.
The attacker shot dead 19 students and two teachers, and injured at least 17 more people.
Videos have emerged of police being frantically urged by onlookers and family remembers to storm the building immediately.
A father whose daughter died in the attack told the Associated Press news agency he had considered running into the school with bystanders out of frustration with the alleged police inaction.
One mother told the Wall Street Journal that she was briefly handcuffed, accused of impeding a police investigation, after demanding along with other parents that officers storm the building. Angeli Rose Gomez said she saw one frantic father thrown to the ground by an officer, another father pepper-sprayed and a third who was later tased.
“The police were doing nothing,” said Ms Gomez, who was eventually released before she said she jumped over the school fence and ran inside to rescue her two children. “They [the police] were just standing outside the fence. They weren’t going in there or running anywhere.”
Mr Escalon – a Texas Ranger and spokesman for the Texas Department of Public Safety – said that during the time officers were outside the school they were calling in reinforcements and “also evacuating students, teachers”.
“An hour later US Border Patrol tactical teams arrive, they make entry and shoot and kill the suspect,” he added. “Immediately… it turns into a rescue operation.”
