Am I the only one that thinks Don Jr always looks high? His eyes are always so glassy. Look up Noel Casler on Twitter. He worked with Trump and his kids for years. He said outright that Trump is a big druggie (cocaine, Adderall, Sudafed, benzos to come down...), and that Jr is a big coke user. Ivanka is too, but she didn't sound as addicted as her brother and father. Addiction is rampant in that family. As a Sidenote, i stayed up so late last night because there were so many new links and facts about Trump's abusive past (sexual, physical, drugs, scams...). There were so many things I hadn't read before. People seem to feel more free to post the links, articles, legal documents, etc., about DJT, and they're mostly in the comments of Noel's posts. I did read a supposed excerpt from Trump's niece's book and it was a page talking about how she found ivanka in bed with her father, having sex. I have to find it again and verify it. (Did anyone read the book yet???)

Some good news. The administration dropped the policy that international students must take university classes in person or leave the country.

Kaitlan Collins - CBS..
”Asked why "African Americans are still dying at the hands of law enforcement," President Trump tells CBS, "So are white people. So are white people. What a terrible question to ask. So are white people. More white people, by the way. More white people."
Unbelievable.

Well so much for the virus numbers coming from an objective third party who is not running for re-election.
Watch the numbers drop big time.
The New York Times..
“The administration orders hospitals to bypass the C.D.C. with key virus data, alarming health experts.”
“The Trump administration has ordered hospitals to bypass the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and, beginning on Wednesday, send all coronavirus patient information to a central database in Washington — a move that has alarmed public health experts who fear the data will be distorted for political gain.
The new instructions are contained in a little-noticed document posted this week on the Department of Health and Human Services’ website, Sheryl Gay Stolberg reports. From now on, H.H.S., and not the C.D.C., will collect daily reports about the patients that each hospital is treating, how many beds and ventilators are available, and other information vital to tracking the pandemic.
Officials said the change should help ease data gathering and assist the White House coronavirus task force in allocating scarce supplies like personal protective gear and the drug remdesivir.
Hospital officials want to streamline reporting, saying it will relieve them from responding to requests from multiple federal agencies, though some say the C.D.C. — an agency that prizes its scientific independence — should be in charge of gathering the information.
“The C.D.C. is the right agency to be at the forefront of collecting the data,” said Dr. Bala Hota, the chief analytics officer at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago.
Public health experts have long expressed concern that the administration is politicizing science and undermining the disease control centers; four former C.D.C. directors, spanning both Republican and Democratic administrations, said as much in an opinion piece published Tuesday in The Washington Post. The data collection shift reinforced those fears.
“Centralizing control of all data under the umbrella of an inherently political apparatus is dangerous and breeds distrust,” said Nicole Lurie, who served as assistant secretary for preparedness and response under former President Barack Obama. “It appears to cut off the ability of agencies like C.D.C. to do its basic job.”
The shift grew out of a tense conference call several weeks ago between hospital executives and Dr. Deborah L. Birx, the White House coronavirus response coordinator.
After Dr. Birx complained that hospitals were not adequately reporting their data, she convened a working group of government and hospital officials who devised the new plan, according to Janis Orlowski, chief health care officer of the Association of American Medical Colleges, who participated.
But news of the change came as a shock inside the C.D.C., which has long been responsible for gathering public health data, according to two officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss it. A spokesman for the disease control centers referred questions to the Department of Health and Human Services, which has not responded to a request for comment.
The dispute exposes the vast gaps in the government’s ability to collect and manage health data — an antiquated system at best, experts say.”

I don’t have kids in school. But I have to say, if I did, I would be livid about this comment which is a reflection of what the trump administration feels about the safety of kids in school.

I’m not consulting with someone else. This man has lost his mind.

I may be clueless, but I don't think it was 136,000 plus people in 4 months.

Julian Castro: "That's why it was baffling to watch the CEO of Goya Foods, Robert Unanue, stand alongside President Donald Trump in the Rose Garden last week and declare that Americans are "truly blessed" to have Trump as president because he is a "builder." Unanue's comments were offensive because he and his Spanish-American family have profited mightily from Latinos, the very people that Trump has treated like a piñata for his own political profit. What Unanue doesn't seem to appreciate is that his words have consequences. They give cover to Trump's bigotry and prop up a man who seems determined to make life harder for people of color in this country. That's why a number of prominent Latino leaders, including Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Hamilton star Lin-Manuel Miranda are encouraging consumers to reconsider purchasing Goya products. Of course, there has been backlash from Trump partisans like Donald Trump Jr. and Senator Ted Cruz who have quickly jumped at the opportunity to call this cancel culture or an attack on free speech — never mind that, under the banner of free speech, Cruz advocated a boycott of Nike last year for canceling the release of the "Betsy Ross flag" sneaker design reportedly at Colin Kaepernick's urging. Unanue himself went on Fox News to label the backlash to his Trump support as a "suppression of speech," adding that he was "not apologizing." But every corporate CEO should understand that free speech works both ways. Yes, companies and their executives are free to support whomever they wish. They can embrace a bigot who said an American judge couldn't be impartial because he's "Mexican." They can support a policy maker who is actively trying to deport Dreamers. They can stand side-by-side with a president who neglected and insulted Puerto Ricans in their greatest time of need. They can even join a press conference with a politician who called Mexicans "rapists" in his very first campaign press event. But just as Unanue is free to heap praise on a president with a history of attacking Latinos, consumers who reject Trump's bigotry are free to leave Goya's products on the shelf and choose one of its competitors instead. Today, company values matter to consumers more than ever before, and those values are often expressed not only through charitable activities but through political ones as well. Companies should expect consumers to be swayed by both. Just as consumers will take note of Goya's donation of two million pounds of food to food banks during the coronavirus crisis, they will also consider the damage that Unanue has done by buddying up to a bigot.

Whoa......... (CNN) Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has been crisscrossing Kentucky and delivering a sober analysis of the country's struggle with the coronavirus pandemic, imploring Americans to wear masks and warning in blunt terms that it's unclear how long the virus will continue to wreak havoc on the country."Well regretfully, my friends, it's not over," McConnell said Monday at a hospital in Mt. Vernon, Kentucky. "We're seeing a surge in Florida and Texas and Arizona and yes, here in Kentucky." It's a far different message than what's being espoused by President Donald Trump, who boasts about the country's response, demands the economy reopen, rarely urges Americans to wear a mask and dismisses the virus' surge across the Sun Belt and the rise in cases in 37 states. "It's going to take a while to get a vaccine," McConnell said back home this week, less than a week after Trump promised a vaccine "very, very soon" and in "record time." McConnell, on the other hand, urges caution. "Remember once we get one or more vaccines we're going to need a massive number of doses, not just for our country, but for the whole world," he said, standing outside a hospital this week, holding his disposal facemask in his left hand. "For the whole world. A massive number of doses." ** That the President and the most powerful Republican in Congress are voicing far different messages is striking -- given that November's elections could turn on Washington's response to the pandemic, underscoring how Trump's rosy view of the virus has little backing within his party. Moreover, McConnell has long preached party unity and message discipline during election season, but staying on the same page rhetorically with Trump is a virtually impossible task. ** "Getting in a contest with Dr. Fauci about whether he was right or wrong, doesn't move the ball forward," Sen. Lindsey Graham, the South Carolina Republican, who is up for reelection this year, said Tuesday. "The infection rate is going up." ** MUCH more at link: www.cnn.com/2020/07/14/politics/mitch-mcconnell-kentucky-covid-response/index.html
