An old, but apt fable:
A scorpion wants to cross a river but cannot swim, so it asks a frog to carry it across. The frog hesitates, afraid that the scorpion might sting it, but the scorpion promises not to, pointing out that it would drown if it killed the frog in the middle of the river. The frog considers this argument sensible and agrees to transport the scorpion. Midway across the river, the scorpion stings the frog anyway, dooming them both. The dying frog asks the scorpion why it stung despite knowing the consequence, to which the scorpion replies: "I am sorry, but I couldn't help myself. It's my character." @Wikipedia
I want to thank Senator John Cornyn for his years representing our state.Β
We donβt agree on everything, but we both still believe in public service.
To Senator Cornynβs supporters: you have a place in our campaign.
Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.
They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.
France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend

This man @wemby! Good Lord have mercy! The league is HIS. Unreal performance. Not so much for @shaiglalex on his MVP-Award night, and certainly not for @ChetHolmgren. Itβs only Game 1, but what a statement, a message, by @wemby and the @spurs. Game 2 will determine if we even have a series, if @Wemby is gonna look like this!
