For those interested, watch the WHO press conference declaring global emergency.

The novel coronavirus outbreak is a public health emergency of international concern. However, they do not recommend stopping travel or trade at this time.

They commend China's response and say without it, many more cases would be showing up outside of China. The number of cases outside of China is relatively small.

"Now is the time for facts, not fear."

I called my GOP Senators.

For one, no one took my call and voicemail was full.

For the other, talked with a live person (I was shocked!) who told me that after today's opening arguments, the Senator is "open" to voting for allowing witnesses.

Trump is a Narcissist. This is a post for everyone still asking why he acts as he does.

He is not crazy or psychotic.

He rages, and when he does, he can seem to be, and really, might as well be.

Narcissists are completely aware of reality. They understand the words you are saying. They remember things just fine.

The problem is… they don’t care. They don’t care about reality. They don’t think that the truth is important. They don’t think that YOU should think that the truth is important.

When they rage, they are almost always angry about something that they cannot acknowledge or express. They must find a different reason for the rage that already exists, even if they have to make something up. Even if they have to blame their rage on you.

We are talking about an ego so overblown that it is literally pathological. Narcissist’s egos are so inflated that they actually think that they have the right to declare what reality is, whether or not it is actually true. The universe revolves around them and exists only for them.

Why wouldn’t they be able to tell you what is real with omnipotent authority? What right should actual facts have in denying what a narcissist declares the truth to be? It’s not a lie if the narcissist is telling it. He is re-writing reality because he wants to and he feels entitled to do so.

Not because he's crazy or psychotic.

I just watched the video of MF45 and his doc leaving for Walter Reed. My take---

MF45 was experiencing physical symptoms that could be attributed to a heart attack.

His doc was summoned and examined him, probably did an EKG, and was unable to determine if he was having a heart attack. The EKG may have been abnormal. We already know he has heart disease.

Hence the decision to get him to Walter Reed where they could do bloodwork to check for enzymes that are elevated when having a heart attack, and if needed, diagnostic tests and treatment not available at the WH.

If he suffered a heart attack, he'd be in the hospital.

Most likely it was angina, which is a symptom of heart disease.

Givers need to set the limits because takers never do.

I think that about sums it up.

CNN: House Committee open hearings to begin mid November.

They intend to call witnesses and present evidence.

Possible witnesses: Yovanovich, Taylor, and Sondland.

This is what I've been waiting for, just like Watergate, open hearings will lead to an overwhelming majority wanting impeachment.

The truth is coming, like a runaway freight train.

No amount of GOP shenanigans can stop it.

Trump administration let nearly $11 million in student aid go to unaccredited for-profit colleges.

A trove of documents released Tuesday by the House Education and Labor Committee shows the Education Department provided $10.7 million in federal loans and grants to students at the Illinois Institute of Art and the Art Institute of Colorado even though officials knew the for-profit colleges were not accredited and ineligible to receive such aid.

The documents build on prior reports from the committee describing efforts by Education Department officials to shield Dream Center Education Holdings, owner of the Art Institutes and Argosy University, from the consequences of lying to students about the accreditation of its since-closed schools. Now it appears the Education Department tried to shield itself from an ill-fated decision to allow millions of dollars to flow to those schools.

Rep. Robert C. “Bobby” Scott (D-Va.), chairman of the House Education Committee, is threatening to subpoena Education Secretary Betsy DeVos for more documents related to the department’s role in Dream Center’s actions. Scott says the agency has obstructed the committee’s investigation and refused to answer questions, as emails and letters paint a picture of a federal agency complicit in an effort to place profits before students.

I can't wait to see Cruella DeVos go down with the ship!
