**** grifters every one of them.Brad Parscale used private firm to make "payments out of public view" to Don Jr’s girlfriend: report
Brad Parscale, the man running President Donald Trump's reelection campaign, has been using his own private firm to make payments to members of the president's family.
The New York Times reports that Parscale's flagship firm, called Parscale Strategy, has essentially taken over the Republican Party's fundraising machinery even as it "has billed nearly $35 million to the Trump campaign, the R.N.C. and related entities since 2017."
In addition to being the central hub for online fundraising, Parscale Strategy has also been used to make "payments out of public view" to Lara Trump, the wife of Eric Trump, and Kimberly Guilfoyle, the girlfriend of Donald Trump, Jr.
"Their presence makes for an odd dynamic between a campaign manager and a candidate's family," the Times reports.
"During a campaign appearance last summer in Orlando, Ms. Guilfoyle confronted Mr. Parscale: Why were her checks always late?
Two people who witnessed the encounter said a contrite Mr. Parscale promised that the problem would be sorted out promptly by his wife, Candice Parscale, who handles the books on many of his ventures."
It is unclear just how much money Trump family members have made from the venture, however, because Parscale's operation is "cloaked in secrecy, largely exempt from federal disclosure."

Donald Trump’s Sons Have Sold More Than $100 Million Of His Real Estate Since He Took Office
There are big dreams, and then there are Trump-size dreams, ones that demand capital letters and tower over cities.
They are what nudged Donald Trump’s grandfather Friedrich from Germany to New York to the Klondike gold rush; impelled the president’s father, Fred, to build an apartment empire in Brooklyn and Queens; and pushed Donald into Manhattan skyscrapers and, eventually, the White House.
When Trump took office and passed the reins to the fourth generation, his sons Eric and Don Jr. had grand ambitions too.
But their plan—storm into America’s heartland with two new licensed hotel brands—died earlier this year after failing to gain traction.
That forced the kids, hamstrung by their father’s pledge not to expand internationally while in office, to pursue a very un-Trumpian strategy.
"If we have to slow down our growth for the time being, we are happy to do it,” Eric Trump said in a statement when they scrapped the hotel plans in February.
Added Don Jr.: “When politics are over, we will resume doing what we do best, which is building the best and most luxurious properties in the world.”
In some ways, the Trump fortune could use a risky bet or two: The president is worth $3.1 billion (good for No. 275 on The Forbes 400), the same as a year ago and down $400 million from when he took office.
But Don Jr. and Eric are playing things conservatively, tending to their properties, paying down debt and stockpiling a hoard of cash.
Since their father’s inauguration, they have sold off $110 million of the president’s real estate holdings—through more than 100 tiny transactions that have mostly flown under the radar.
In the Dominican Republic, the younger Trumps sold a piece of land in January 2018 for $3.2 million.
It was the clearest violation of their father’s pledge to do no new foreign deals while in office.
(The Trump Organization would not comment for this story.)
In other cases, they’ve done business with wannabe influencers who seemingly recognized an opportunity to line the president’s pockets.
They sold Trump’s mansion in Beverly Hills for $13.5 million to a company tied to Indonesian billionaire (and Trump business partner) Hary Tanoesoedibjo.
They off-loaded a Manhattan penthouse to a woman who runs a business selling access to Chinese officials.
Other deals wouldn’t turn heads if the seller were anyone but the president of the United States.
With Trump in the Oval Office, however, things can get strange.
Take the roughly $900 million sale of Spring Creek Towers, America’s largest federally subsidized housing complex.
Trump owned a 4% stake, a remnant of his father’s outer-borough empire.
Secretary of Housing & Urban Development Ben Carson had to give his approval to make the deal happen, according to property records.
That put Trump’s subordinate in the awkward position of having to green-light a transaction that paid his boss an estimated $33 million.
For all this selling, the Trumps have done very little reinvesting.
Trump Tower got minor updates, a five-story San Francisco office building got a face-lift and the Trumps keep stuffing cash into their money-losing European golf resorts.
But they’ve really made only one new purchase, buying an $18.5 million mansion next to Mar-a-Lago—from their aunt, Maryanne Trump Barry.
They aren’t snapping up new golf courses or hotels, and fellow New York City real estate titans have noticed the president’s absence in the Big Apple.
“He’s not really a real estate developer anymore,” Brooklyn billionaire David Walentas told Forbes earlier this year.
Instead, the Trump children have been chipping away at the debt that helped build their father’s empire, quietly paying down an estimated $60 million since the inauguration.
In New York, they wiped out roughly $19 million of liabilities at 40 Wall Street, 6 East 57th Street and 502 Park Avenue.
In San Francisco, where the president owns 30% of a skyscraper alongside billionaire Steven Roth’s Vornado Realty Trust, Trump’s kids have erased $8 million of his debt.
In late 2016, Trump took out a $30 million loan against a Las Vegas tower he owns with fellow billionaire Phil Ruffin—perhaps freeing up some cash for the candidate’s $12 million in last-minute campaign donations.
After selling dozens of condos in the building, the Trumps repaid that loan.

None of that changes Sniffles' big lie.
We are way behind other countries when it comes to testing.
That's a fact, and if you say it's not than you're as big a liar as he is.
The CDC says approximately 8,500 nose swabs (tests) have been taken since the beginning of the outbreak.
And that does not mean that 8,500 people have been tested, because some people are tested more than once.
South Korea for example has the capacity to test 10,000 people a day.
You can keep deluding yourself that everything is going perfectly well and that it's just us Libs blowing things out of proportion.

Everyone CAN'T get a test.
There have been many problems with the test kits.
Even Pence admitted it.
I could provide many sources to prove that, but you will just dismiss them out of hand, so it's a waste of time.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House has ordered federal health officials to treat top-level coronavirus meetings as classified, an unusual step that has restricted information and hampered the U.S. government’s response to the contagion, according to four Trump administration officials.
The officials said that dozens of classified discussions about such topics as the scope of infections, quarantines and travel restrictions have been held since mid-January in a high-security meeting room at the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS), a key player in the fight against the coronavirus.
Staffers without security clearances, including government experts, were excluded from the interagency meetings, which included video conference calls, the sources said.
“We had some very critical people who did not have security clearances who could not go,” one official said.
“These should not be classified meetings. It was unnecessary.”
The sources said the National Security Council (NSC), which advises the president on security issues, ordered the classification.
“This came directly from the White House,” one official said.
The White House insistence on secrecy at the nation’s premier public health organization, which has not been previously disclosed, has put a lid on certain information - and potentially delayed the response to the crisis.
COVID19, the disease caused by the virus, has killed about 30 people in the United States and infected more than 1,000 people.
HHS oversees a broad range of health agencies, including the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which among other things is responsible for tracking cases and providing guidance nationally on the outbreaks.
The administration officials, who spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity, said they could not describe the interactions in the meeting room because they were classified.
An NSC spokesman did not respond to questions about the meetings at HHS.
But he defended the administration’s transparency across federal agencies and noted that meetings of the administration's task force on the coronavirus all are unclassified.
It was not immediately clear which meetings he was referring to.
"From day one of the response to the coronavirus, NSC has insisted on the principle of radical transparency,” said the spokesman, John Ullyot.
He added that the administration “has cut red tape and set the global standard in protecting the American people under President Trump’s leadership.”
A spokeswoman for the HHS, Katherine McKeogh, issued a statement that did not address questions about classified meetings.
Using language that echoed the NSC’s, the department said it that it agreed task-force meetings should be unclassified.
Critics have hammered the Trump administration for what they see as a delayed response to coronavirus outbreaks and a lack of transparency, including sidelining experts and providing misleading or incomplete information to the public.
State and local officials also have complained of being kept in the dark about essential federal response information.
U.S. Vice-President Mike Pence, the administration's point person on coronavirus, vowed on March 3 to offer “real-time information in a steady pace and be fully transparent.”
The vice president, appointed by President Donald Trump in late February, is holding regular news briefings and also has pledged to rely on expert guidance.
The meetings at HHS were held in a secure area called a "Sensitive Compartmentalized Information Facility," or SCIF, according to the administration officials.
SCIFs are usually reserved for intelligence and military operations.
Ordinary cell phones and computers can't be brought into the chambers.
HHS has SCIFs because theoretically it would play a major role in biowarfare or chemical attacks.
A high-level former official who helped address public health outbreaks in the George W. Bush administration said “it’s not normal to classify discussions about a response to a public health crisis.”
Attendees at the meetings included HHS Secretary Alex Azar and his chief of staff Brian Harrison, the officials said. Azar and Harrison resisted the classification of the meetings, the sources said.
HHS did not make Azar or Harrison available for comment.
One of the administration officials told Reuters that when complex issues about a quarantine came up, a high-ranking HHS lawyer with expertise on the issue was not admitted because he did not have the proper security clearance.
His input was delayed and offered at an unclassified meeting, the official said.
A fifth source familiar with the meetings said HHS staffers often weren’t informed about coronavirus developments because they didn’t have adequate clearance.
He said he was told that the matters were classified "because it had to do with China."
The coronavirus epidemic originated in China and the administration’s main focus to prevent spread early on was to restrict travel by non-U.S. citizens coming from China and to authorize the quarantine of people entering the United States who may have been exposed to the virus.
One of the administration officials suggested the security clearances for meetings at HHS were imposed not to protect national security but to keep the information within a tight circle, to prevent leaks.
“It seemed to be a tool for the White House - for the NSC - to keep participation in these meetings low,” the official said.

World Health Organization Declares The Coronavirus Outbreak A Global PANDEMIC
The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic on Wednesday as the new coronavirus, which was unknown to world health officials just three months ago, has rapidly spread to more than 121,000 people from Asia to the Middle East, Europe and United States.
“In the past two weeks the number of cases outside China has increased thirteenfold and the number of affected countries has tripled,” WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said at a press conference at the organization’s headquarters in Geneva.
“In the days and weeks ahead, we expect to see the number of cases, the number of deaths and the number of affected countries to climb even higher.”

There will not be a miracle.
Warm weather won't kill it.
It is not contained.
There are not only 15 cases.
