Trump’s son-in-law has no business running the coronavirus response.

Reporting on the White House’s herky-jerky coronavirus response, Vanity Fair’s Gabriel Sherman has a quotation from Jared Kushner that should make all Americans, and particularly all New Yorkers, dizzy with terror.
According to Sherman, when New York’s governor, Andrew Cuomo, said that the state would need 30,000 ventilators at the apex of the coronavirus outbreak, Kushner decided that Cuomo was being alarmist.
“I have all this data about I.C.U. capacity,” Kushner reportedly said. “I’m doing my own projections, and I’ve gotten a lot smarter about this. New York doesn’t need all the ventilators.” (Dr. Anthony Fauci, the country’s top expert on infectious diseases, has said he trusts Cuomo’s estimate.)
Even now, it’s hard to believe that someone with as little expertise as Kushner could be so arrogant, but he said something similar on Thursday, when he made his debut at the White House’s daily coronavirus briefing: “People who have requests for different products and supplies, a lot of them are doing it based on projections which are not the realistic projections.”
Kushner has succeeded at exactly three things in his life. He was born to the right parents, married well and learned how to influence his father-in-law.
Most of his other endeavors — his biggest real estate deal, his foray into newspaper ownership, his attempt to broker a peace deal between the Israelis and the Palestinians — have been failures.
Undeterred, he has now arrogated to himself a major role in fighting the epochal health crisis that’s brought America to its knees. “Behind the scenes, Kushner takes charge of coronavirus response,” said a Politico headline on Wednesday.
This is dilettantism raised to the level of sociopathy.
The journalist Andrea Bernstein looked closely at Kushner’s business record for her recent book “American Oligarchs: The Kushners, the Trumps, and the Marriage of Money and Power,” speaking to people on all sides of his real estate deals as well as those who worked with him at The New York Observer, the weekly newspaper he bought in 2006.
Kushner, Bernstein told me, “really sees himself as a disrupter.” Again and again, she said, people who’d dealt with Kushner told her that whatever he did, he “believed he could do it better than anybody else, and he had supreme confidence in his own abilities and his own judgment even when he didn’t know what he was talking about.”
It’s hard to overstate the extent to which this confidence is unearned.
Kushner was a reportedly mediocre student whose billionaire father appears to have bought him a place at Harvard.
Taking over the family real estate company after his father was sent to prison, Kushner paid $1.8 billion — a record, at the time — for a Manhattan skyscraper at the very top of the real estate market in 2007.
The debt from that project became a crushing burden for the family business. (Kushner was able to restructure the debt in 2011, and in 2018 the project was bailed out by a Canadian asset management company with links to the government of Qatar.)
He gutted the once-great New York Observer, then made a failed attempt to create a national network of local politics websites.
His forays into the Israeli-Palestinian conflict — for which he boasted of reading a whole 25 books — have left the dream of a two-state solution on life support.
Michael Koplow of the centrist Israel Policy Forum described Kushner’s plan for the Palestinian economy as “the Monty Python version of Israeli-Palestinian peace.”
Now, in our hour of existential horror, Kushner is making life-or-death decisions for all Americans, showing all the wisdom we’ve come to expect from him.
“Mr. Kushner’s early involvement with dealing with the virus was in advising the president that the media’s coverage exaggerated the threat,” reported The Times. It was apparently at Kushner’s urging that Trump announced, falsely, that Google was about to launch a website that would link Americans with coronavirus testing.
(As The Atlantic reported, a health insurance company co-founded by Kushner’s brother — which Kushner once owned a stake in — tried to build such a site, before the project was “suddenly and mysteriously scrapped.”)
The president was reportedly furious over the website debacle, but Kushner’s authority hasn’t been curbed.
Politico reported that Kushner, “alongside a kitchen cabinet of outside experts including his former roommate and a suite of McKinsey consultants, has taken charge of the most important challenges facing the federal government,” including the production and distribution of medical supplies and the expansion of testing.
Kushner has embedded his own people in the Federal Emergency Management Agency; a senior official described them to The Times as “a ‘frat party’ that descended from a U.F.O. and invaded the federal government.”
Disaster response requires discipline and adherence to a clear chain of command, not the move-fast-and-break-things approach of start-up culture.
Even if Kushner “were the most competent person in the world, which he clearly isn’t, introducing these kind of competing power centers into a crisis response structure is a guaranteed problem,” Jeremy Konyndyk, a former U.S.A.I.D. official who helped manage the response to the Ebola crisis during Barack Obama’s administration, told me.
“So you could have Trump and Kushner and Pence and the governors all be the smartest people in the room, but if there are multiple competing power centers trying to drive this response, it’s still going to be chaos.”
Competing power centers are a motif of this administration, and its approach to the pandemic is no exception.
As The Washington Post reported, Kushner’s team added “another layer of confusion and conflicting signals within the White House’s disjointed response to the crisis.” Nor does his operation appear to be internally coherent. “Projects are so decentralized that one team often has little idea what others are doing — outside of that they all report up to Kushner,” reported Politico.
On Thursday, Governor Cuomo said that New York would run out of ventilators in six days. Perhaps Kushner’s projections were incorrect. “I don’t think the federal government is in a position to provide ventilators to the extent the nation may need them,” Cuomo said. “Assume you are on your own in life.” If not in life, certainly in this administration.

Trump is responsible for our unfolding coronavirus disaster
Michael Gerson
The Washington Post
July 6, 2020
The United States is entering dangerous, uncharted territory. With a little more than 4 percent of the world’s population, our country has about 25 percent of coronavirus infections.
Over the course of five months, more Americans have lost their lives to this disease (127,000 and counting) than died in World War I (116,516).
New infections have reaccelerated and are rising toward some unknown peak.
And we have a president who doesn’t appear to give a damn.
How did we get here? The story is relatively simple.
Through shutdowns and social distancing, Americans flattened the curve of new infections. But we plateaued at a very high level — roughly 20,000 a day during most of May. (Contrast this with France, which flattened the curve to a plateau of roughly 400 daily cases.)
Then came Memorial Day. Many Americans — with the encouragement of some politicians — took this as the mental end of the crisis phase. On May 25, there were roughly 18,000 new infections. On June 25, it was 40,000. Six days after that, 53,000.
And a few weeks from now, the Fourth of July harvest of stupidity will be revealed.
On the second upswing of the first wave — where we currently stand — the profile of the disease has changed.
Because nursing homes are better protected and the elderly have adhered to pandemic hygiene, the average age of someone infected by the disease has fallen by roughly two decades.
Though a significant number still need hospitalization, fatality rates are lower. America is doing a better job shielding the most vulnerable.
But there are two problems.
First, following covid-19’s assault on the body, a significant number of younger people end up with long-term health complications.
One doctor I know says that 40-year-old patients he has treated sometimes end up climbing stairs like wheezing senior citizens. Researchers warn of lingering damage to the brain.
President Trump’s claim that 99 percent of covid-19 cases are “totally harmless” is a cruel lie.
Second, allowing the exponential spread of the disease will eventually make protecting the vulnerable an impossible task. All our islands of safety for the ill and elderly are endangered when the sea level of infection rapidly rises.
Many Americans simply don’t understand what exponential growth means. Three million infections can quickly bloom to 10 million infections, and higher. Even with a relatively low fatality rate, this could easily leave more than half a million Americans dead.
Who is responsible for this unfolding national disaster?
It starts at the top, where Trump has been a determined and creative ally of the virus.
In mid-April, the president simultaneously endorsed a strategy for gradual, prudent reopening of the economy and began egging on populist advocates of immediate reopening. It was clear to everyone where his sympathies truly lay.
Rather than bucking up governors to continue shutdowns until the burden of disease was manageable, Trump undercut them for his own (perceived) benefit.
Foolish, reckless governors quickly got the message that economic recovery was more urgent than pandemic responsibility.
In Texas, Gov. Greg Abbott (R) actually stripped localities of the authority to issue stay-at-home orders so no one could resist his aggressive reopening plan.
But even governors who demonstrate concern about people’s lives have found many Americans — particularly younger Americans — increasingly resistant to basic pandemic precautions.
The successful control of infectious disease — using bed nets against malaria, adhering to AIDS medications, social distancing to inhibit the spread of the novel coronavirus — is ultimately a matter of individual behavior.
Successful attempts to improve such behavior on a large scale require a consistent message from all the commanding heights of a culture — the medical profession, the government, the church and the media.
The default position for many Americans is a robust individualism that leads to suspicion of government mandates. Overcoming this natural tendency requires energetic persuasion.
In the coronavirus crisis, the medical profession has done its job by providing the facts.
But the government (see Trump), the church (see Trump’s evangelical enablers) and the media (see Fox News and talk radio) have encouraged broad skepticism about essential health measures. In the process, they have created a right-wing constituency for preventable death.
There are two options here. Either Americans will be rudely jerked toward sanity by the sight of rapidly filling graves, or leaders of determination and talent will rise above the self-destructive strife and make deliverance from illness and death a unifying national cause.
The president has left this role vacant. It needs filling.

Carte de visite by Thomas W. Bankes of Helena, Ark. Chaplain Jacob Gilbert Forman and Capt. George Sinclair posed for this portrait in the Helena, Ark., studio of Thomas W. Bankes during the second half of 1863 or early 1864. The men followed different paths before they arrived in Bankes' studio.
Sinclair, an Illinois native and resident of Yatesville at the beginning of the war, bade his wife Mildred and young children farewell and traveled to St. Louis, where he enlisted in the 1st Missouri Cavalry. In mid-1863, he left his regiment to accept the captaincy of Company I of the 1st Regiment Arkansas Infantry, African Decent. The regiment mustered into federal service as the 46th U.S. Colored Infantry. In early 1864, Sinclair resigned due to the illness of his wife. The lack of any paper trail for her following their 1859 marriage, or their children, suggests they all perished from disease. Sinclair died in 1874 at about age 39.
Forman, a Canadian by birth who settled in Massachusetts, became an ardent abolitionist, acquaintance of William Lloyd Garrison, and a Unitarian minister. His views on slavery caused friction with his congregation and he left about 1857 for the St. Louis suburb of Alton, Ill., where he received a better reception. When the war came, he joined the 3rd Missouri Infantry as chaplain. He also served as Superintendent of Refugees in St. Louis, Secretary of the Western Sanitary Commission, and Superintendent of Contrabands at Helena.
On Dec. 29, 1862, in Helena, Forman and others sent a letter to Maj. Gen. Samuel R. Curtis, commander of the Department of Missouri, regarding violence against enslaved people who entered Union lines. Here's the letter:
The undersigned Chaplains and Surgeons of the army of the Eastern District of Arkansas would respectfully call your attention to the Statements & Suggestions following
The Contrabands within our lines are experiencing hardships oppression & neglect the removal of which calls loudly for the intervention of authority. We daily see & deplore the evil and leave it to your wisdom to devise a remedy. In a great degree the contrabands are left entirely to the mercy and rapacity of the unprincipled part of our army (excepting only the limited jurisdiction of capt Richmond) with no person clothed with Specific authority to look after & protect them. Among their list of grievances we mention these:
Some who have been paid by individuals for cotton or for labor have been waylaid by soldiers, robbed, and in several instances fired upon, as well as robbed, and in no case that we can now recal have the plunderers been brought to justice–
The wives of some have been molested by soldiers to gratify thier licentious lust, and thier husbands murdered in endeavering to defend them, and yet the guilty parties, though known, were not arrested. Some who have wives and families are required to work on the Fortifications, or to unload Government Stores, and receive only their meals at the Public table, while their families, whatever provision is intended for them, are, as a matter of fact, left in a helpless & starving condition
Many of the contrabands have been employed, & received in numerous instances, from officers & privates, only counterfeit money or nothing at all for their services. One man was employed as a teamster by the Government & he died in the service (the government indebted to him nearly fifty dollars) leaving an orphan child eight years old, & there is no apparent provision made to draw the money, or to care for the orphan child. The negro hospital here has become notorious for filth, neglect, mortality & brutal whipping, so that the contrabands have lost all hope of kind treatment there, & would almost as soon go to their graves as to their hospital. These grievances reported to us by persons in whom we have confidence, & some of which we know to be true, are but a few of the many wrongs of which they complain– For the sake of humanity, for the sake of christianity, for the good name of our army, for the honor of our country, cannot something be done to prevent this oppression & to stop its demoralizing influences upon the Soldiers themselves? Some have suggested that the matter be laid befor the [War] Department at Washington, in the hope that they will clothe an agent with authority, to register all the names of the contrabands, who will have a benevolent regard for their welfare, though whom all details of fatigue & working parties shall be made though whom rations may be drawn & money paid, & who shall be empowered to organize schools, & to make all needfull Regulations for the comfort & improvement of the condition of the contrabands; whose accounts shall be open at all times for inspection, and who shall make stated reports to the Department–All which is respectfully submitted
Forman mustered out of the army in November 1865. He returned to Massachusetts, studied medicine at Harvard, and opened a drug store in Lynn, Mass., in 1869. He died in 1885 at age 65. He outlived one wife and was survived by his second wife, Emily, and at least two children.
The many writings he left behind include:
A Book of Common Prayer (1863)
History of the Western Sanitary Commission (1864)
Woman’s Work in the Civil War: A Record of Heroism, Patriotism, and Patience (1867)

Mission report:
From the time we were deployed to the point we returned to coruscant a lot had changed about the galaxy. Our campaign was 9 and a half months of cold, high altitude combat against the CIS. When we left the Jedi were our leaders and the galaxies greatest protectors but when we returned the Jedi that remained were fugitives. Our Jedi had been assigned to us just before the beginning of the campaign which made the order to kill her go down easier. She was a skilled warrior and just as she was beginning to earn the battalions trust and respect, she was shot down, dead before she hit the ground. We finished the invasion and returned to coruscant where we were congratulated on our having defeated the Jedi but despite the congratulations I think we all still had some mixed feelings about the ordeal.
End report.

12th Recon Company, 8th May 1903, Capital square
[Start of report]
Despite our briefings at the start of this whole damned affair, we knew there was something amiss about the capital after all of this started. Our encounter with the cultists and their pagan arts confirmed as much. Demons or not, enough bullets can put down these cultists and their spawn if the men's courage holds.
Our push to retake the main square ended in failure. A gathering of cultists discovered our scouts and before we could fight back, they retreated to call something strange.
A towering, veiled creature floated across the stones and over us. Strange symbols and trails of light floated across its skin with claws the size of swords, though it did not deign to use them. Instead, it would extend one arm and in a blink, one of them men would be turned to ash where he stood. A half-dozen of these disintegrations were enough to break the courage of our charge and force a retreat, save myself and a handful of others who dared not risk the demon's wrath.
We hid beneath the rubble like rats as this monster floated overhead, quiet and steady like fog. I ordered the photographer to capture an image of this terrible thing. No sane man would believe a report such as this without evidence.
Note: I know not if we should bear holy sigils or cannons against something like this. Where these things go, we must avoid. I've told the men whatever spirits they come across, they are welcome to; anything to keep our morale intact. I shudder to think on what else has infested the capital, or come to retake it from the hands of men.

Name: Matthew M. Lamb
Arrested for: not given
Arrested at: North Shields Police Station
Arrested on: 5 October 1914
Tyne and Wear Archives ref: DX1388-1-256-Matthew M Lamb
The Shields Daily News for 7 October 1914 reports:
“TRAWLER-HAND SENT TO PRISON FOR BREAKING AND ENTERING
Today at North Shields Matthew M Lamb (21), deckhand, minesweeping trawler no. 461, was charged with breaking and entering the house, 73 Tyne Street and stealing therefrom a gramophone, records, and several other artefacts valued in all £4, the property of Emma Cope.
Miss Cope stated that prisoner stayed with her on Friday night last and on the following day she met him in South Shields. On reaching home she found the house had been broken into and she missed the gramophone, records etc.
A neighbour of the last witness deposed to seeing the defendant with other men at Miss Cope’s house. Defendant burst open the door and witness later saw defendant carrying the gramophone. There was no one with him. Defendant was very drunk.
Sergt. Spindler said the defendant replied to the charge when arrested “I don’t know anything about it but I take all responsibility”. Defendant said he was drunk at the time and didn’t remember anything about the offence. Defendant was committed to prison for one month.”
These images are taken from an album of photographs of prisoners brought before the North Shields Police Court between 1902 and 1916 (TWAM ref. DX1388/1). This set is our selection of the best mugshots taken during the First World War. They have been chosen because of the sharpness and general quality of the images. The album doesn’t record the details of each prisoner’s crimes, just their names and dates of arrest.
In order to discover the stories behind the mugshots, staff from Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums visited North Shields Local Studies Library where they carefully searched through microfilm copies of the ‘Shields Daily News’ looking for newspaper reports of the court cases. The newspaper reports have been transcribed and added below each mugshot.
Combining these two separate records gives us a fascinating insight into life on the Home Front during the First World War. These images document the lives of people of different ages and backgrounds, both civilians and soldiers. Our purpose here is not to judge them but simply to reflect the realities of their time.

Weather reports predict the so called "Beast From The East" is due to revisit the UK over the next few days, today the 16th of March 2018 I visited Collieston Bay, its the first time I have witnessed the impact unusual weather has had on the area, it really was exhilarating and offered great photo opportunities.
Collieston is a small former fishing village on the North Sea coast in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The village lies just north of the Sands of Forvie Special Protection Area, between Cruden Bay and Newburgh.
The earliest recorded history of Collieston is of the arrival of St Ternan, a Columban monk on a mission to convert the local picts to Christianity. There is, however, evidence that people lived here during much earlier times.
Collieston was established as a fishing village by the 16th century, and it provides the first safe harbour in over fifteen miles of beachesand dunes stretching north from Aberdeen.
Fishing for herring, haddock, whiting and codflourished in the 17th century and 18th century and was the foundation of Collieston's economy. The village became known for 'Collieston Speldings', salted and sun-dried haddock and whiting, a popular delicacy throughout Britain. As drift netting developed during the mid 19th century, the fishing began to decline and the focus of the industry shifted to places like Peterhead because the harbour at Collieston was too small to safely accommodate the larger boats needed.
The numerous sea caves in the nearby cliffs, and small coves with shingle beaches provided ideal terrain for smugglers. In the late 18th century it was estimated by the Excise that up to 8000 gallons of foreign spirits were being illegally landed in the area every month. In 1798, the notorious village smuggler, Phillip Kennedy, was killed by a blow from an exciseman's cutlass. His grave and tombstone still stands in the village graveyard.
A ship from the Spanish Armada, the Santa Caterina, carrying arms for the Earl of Erroll is said to have sunk just off the rocky point of St Catherine's Dub in 1594. In retaliation for the Earl's involvement in the Catholic plot against him, James VI blew up the Earl's castle which stood on the cliffs, a mile north of Collieston. The Earl went on to rebuild Slains Castle, six miles further up the coast, in 1597.
Collieston is now mainly a commuter village serving Aberdeen, and is largely given over to tourists during the summer months.

iPhone shot a couple of days ago of my antique restoration project. Spring is here and the landscaping has started, Between that and the sanding I am getting muscles like I've never had :-). much better on black
UPDATE (April 2011): Seems we couldn't get an accurate report from my gynecologic oncologist. According to my other oncologist (the one who will be performing my chemotherapy), the washings showed cancer cells in them. Therefore, even though the report said 3A, this would make it a 3C. She was very encouraging though. She said that treatment for ovarian cancer is better than it was even a few years ago. Also, she said it's "treatable and still potentially curable". When I asked her what the chances are of it recurring within the next 5 years, she said about 1 in 2. But, we have a great God! Regardless of the outcome, he is there with me and my family. Your continued prayers would be greatly appreciated.
Up until last Thursday, 3/17/11, we had believed that my cancer was Stage 2. No one told us otherwise. However, apparently that is not the case. It's Stage 3A, Grade 3. Please continue to keep us in your prayers. Thanks!
During a surgery I had last week for cervical dysplasia (precancerous growth), additional exploratory surgery was performed at which point suspicious spots were found. After being biopsied and after additional tests were run, it showed that I have ovarian cancer. Tomorrow at 10:20am E.S.T., I will be having a complete hysterectomy (which will include removal of my ovaries and fallopian tubes). My family and I would greatly appreciate your prayers.
Over 100 AFOLs were invited to attend an exclusive sneak peak of the store before its doors open to the public on 17th November.
The store entrance was covered by a large yellow banner imitating the box art referring to the ages: 0-99, piece count etc. AFOLs queued up outside against the banner just before 14:00 and the anticipation was building! As each person walked into the store, one by one they each person was greeted with a scratch card, a huge cheer and an applause by the staff. The scratch card was to receive 40179 - Personalised Mosaic Portrait or a 'mystery gift' which turned out to be a 40139 - Gingerbread House.
Once everyone had entered the store we were introduced with a welcoming speech by Kim Ellekjær Thomsen and two others. They mentioned you can get the Architecture sets signed by the designers and looked around and noticed an unfamiliar designer on the table. Then they mentioned Jamie and I looked back and I couldn't see much but slowly a small huddle of people revealed Jamie Berard!
The ground floor consisted of the brick built models such as: Big Ben, Lester, Tube Train. As well as a Build-A-Minifigure Station, Brickadilly Information Wall and a start of the product shelves and counters. The 1st Floor had the London Skyline Mosaic as you walk you the stairs, the Big Ben model poking through the 1st floor and this floor also has Brickley the Dragon wearing a hat and holding an umbrella (exclusivity to this store.) This floor also has a Mosaic Maker to create a portrait mosaic of yourself for £99.99 or through winning one with the scratch card. Keep in mind it contains about 4,500 pieces! It’s followed by the Play Table, another Build-A-Minifigure Station, Brick-Built Phone Box and all the rest of the product ranges.
During this event I was informed that Lester Minifigure / 30472 – Parrot scratch card was not given away with purchases over £55, it was handed out to each customer as they arrived on the 1st floor. Suddenly several members of staff came around with snacks and drinks. After that I bumped into several AFOLs who mentioned they are fans of my work and also quite a while with a couple of other familiar faces.
My Haul:
-10251 - Brick Bank
-851400 - Up-Scaled Mug, Red

The 40145 - LEGO Brand Store was also advertised as a freebie with purchases over £125 however that wasn’t the case on 17th November. It was available to purchase for £19.99 only; not as a freebie, nevertheless I managed to talk them into one for free as I did spend the £125 amount, we high fived!
I left the best till last! It was a pleasure meeting Jamie Berard; in fact we had great thirty minute chat about his models and working for the company. I got my 10251 - Brick Bank signed too!
As each AFOL left the store we were handed a bag full of goodies; it contained the following:
-40221 - Fountain
-40140 - Flower Cart
-30446 - Mini Batmobile

It was best moment of my life! Two hours of pure joy and happiness! It was fantastic meeting AFOLs and the designers at the event. I'm going to find it hard to go back to my normal LEGO Brand Store...
