To the editor:

A good part of my career days hiring and managing people we were under the affirmative action guidelines. In my experience, this was a fantastic benefit.

My happiest hires came from this process. My biggest disappointments often came from hiring people I knew. It was an easy trap.

The American way is for the best and brightest to have opportunity and allow us to benefit from their achievements and contributions. Affirmative action keeps us honest in this area and helps us find the best and brightest. Unfortunately, we need this push to do the right thing.

If we can observe what happens in the case of the Trump administration hiring family members and cronies, we can see how that lazy and discriminatory approach serves us poorly.

Re: June 5 article, “Abbott calls for Bexar County GOP chair to resign for spreading George Floyd conspiracy theory.”

So our fearless Gov. Abbott, Sens. Cornyn and Cruz, Lt. Gov. Patrick and others denounced Bexar Party Chair Cynthia Brehm for—get this—spreading a conspiracy theory claiming that the death of George Floyd was staged to damage Trump’s standing with blacks.

Brehm’s a gem: In May, she stated at a San Antonio press conference that COVID-19 was a Democratic hoax. Apparently, our fearless leaders think Trump’s lies are OK, telling others that COVID-19 is a Democratic hoax is an OK lie, but lying about Mr. Floyd is not OK (for now).

The lot of you have no decency nor do you deserve our respect.

Happy 74th birthday, President Trump! Keep up the good work in behalf of the American people. Don't let the haters of the Left get you down.
