If his information was second hand, that means a lot of people in administration and the CIA were worried enough about it to share it with him.

• If a teacher tests positive for COVID-19 are they required to quarantine for 2-3 weeks? Is their sick leave covered, paid? • If that teacher has 5 classes a day with 30 students each, do all 150 of those students need to then stay home and quarantine for 14 days?

• What if someone who lives in the same house as a teacher tests positive? Does that teacher now need to take 14 days off of work to quarantine? Is that time off covered? Paid?

• Where is the district going to find a substitute teacher who will work in a classroom full of exposed, possibly infected students? • Substitutes teach in multiple schools. What if they are diagnosed with COVID-19? Do all the kids in each school quarantine and get tested?

I will tell you a story about 9/11. I hope it pisses you off. In 1997, I won the Associated Press Managing Editors award for my coverage of the Unabomber case. As my reward, they asked me to do a national series about Islamic terrorism.

One of the things I researched was the 1993 first attack on the World Trade Center by Ramzi Yousef. One of the things I researched was the raid on his hq in the Muslim Philippines. In that raid, they discovered al queda plans to hijack multiple planes in the US and crash them.

So all those denials in the early days, that the US could never have imagined the 9/11 attacks, are lies. They had a blueprint, years before 9/11. They just did nothing. Nothing.

We are viewing Trumps conflicts from the wrong end. As of Jan. 20, his properties all over the world will be ideal terrorist targets.
