He was homeless as a child at a few points.

He sold peanuts popcorn and crackerjacks at Oakland A's games. At the same time in the clubhouse, owner Charlie Finley had a young spy. He'd talk to players and try to infiltrate Finley's ideas into them. The players were onto it. It was MC Hammer. Stanley Kirk Burrell.

Trump Waiting on Public Health Expert Jared Kushner Before Deciding on Coronavirus Emergency: Report

Amidst bringing peace to the Middle East, guiding the construction of the border wall, and ending America’s ongoing opioid crisis, Jared Kushner is now facing yet another task that should be delegated to an entire government agency, rather than to the president’s son-in-law. According to Politico, President Trump is delaying his decision on whether or not to declare a national emergency to combat the spread of coronavirus on the expert public-health opinion of fellow real-estate developer and fortunate son Jared Kushner. According to administration sources who spoke with Politico, Trump is holding off on a national emergency decision until Kushner “finishes his research and comes to a conclusion himself.”

I didn't see it coming. There was some chatter* here on DU about it.

What I watched that day gave me hope but it was a big eye opener. It was massive. Unprecedented.

What we've seen since then has been a networking of women, the DNC tapping** great candidates, and a flood of volunteers in specific races.

I'm hearing "Suburbs" a lot related to Biden. This, to me, is a result and a ROARING🙌 of The Women's March.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Berea College has canceled the spring semester and is forcing all students to move out of residence halls in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak, President Lyle Roelofs announced Tuesday.

In a news release posted just after noon Tuesday, Roelofs said "it will not be possible to adequately assure student and employee safety in the circumstance of a case of COVID-19 occurring on campus."

Classes will end Friday, March 13. While some schools are moving instruction online, Berea is choosing not to do that because most students who leave campus will no longer have internet access.
