 U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz is trying to start a coronavirus version of the viral Ice Bucket Challenge, pushing politicians, celebrities and athletes to volunteer, donate or help their communities in other ways and share it online.

The Texas Republican launched the so-called #CombatCOVID19Challenge with Democratic U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand earlier this month, taking breakfast tacos and coffee to the Houston Police Officer’s Union.

Since then politicians from Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner and San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg to former Texas Gov. Rick Perry and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie have joined. Houston’s Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale, restaurateur David Chang and Fox News anchor Bret Baier have also taken part.

I have one for Democrats. Fill a 5 gallon bucket with water. Stick your head in three times and pull it out twice.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Got to love Ted!

Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Didn't the ice-bucket challenge die when the kids took up Tide Pods?  Or was it the Fidget Spinner?
For unvaccinated, we are looking at a winter of severe illness and death — if you’re unvaccinated — for themselves, their families, and the hospitals they’ll soon overwhelm. Sloe Joe Biteme 12/16
