Virginity: Found & Lost “Over-fed, over-sexed and over here.” Such was Churchill’s poignant assessment of all the young American grunts gathering in Britain during the spring of 1944, prior to the D-Day invasion. My, but how springtime and wartimes never change. Flash forward 80 years to a time with multiple wars running amuck, and the current of horniness in April’s air is palpably electric, as every species on Earth — battlefields be damned — suddenly becomes obsessed with the same laser-beam-focused commonality: finding their perfect mate.

Ted Cruz about his flailing reelection campaign.The unpopular Texas senator appeared Wednesday on Fox News to caterwaul about the money his opponent is raising. Colin Allred, a former Baylor football star and current Dallas-area rep., netted $9.5 million in this year’s first quarter. That total far outpaces Cruz, who raised just $6.9 million. Allred is even outpacing Beto O’Rourke, who set records for fundraising in a U.S. Senate race against Cruz six years ago. (O’Rourke raised more than $80 million before losing to Cruz by just three points.)Stay woke with our briefing while staying informed ..read more
