The Rev. John Jenkins, president of Notre Dame, has tested positive for COVID-19 and is showing mild symptoms, the school said in a message sent to the campus community on Friday.
Jenkins learned this week that a colleague with whom he has been in regular contact tested positive, so he also got tested and the result was positive. Jenkins already was in a self-isolation after attending the nomination ceremony for Judge Amy Coney Barrett in Washington, D.C., last weekend. The statement says that Jenkins was entering "an extended period of isolation" as indicated by university medical personnel and county health officials.
"My symptoms are mild and I will continue work from home," Jenkins said. "The positive test is a good reminder for me and perhaps for all of how vigilant we need to be."
Jenkins said in a statement last week, "I regret my error in judgment" for not wear
ing a mask and shaking hands during the nomination ceremony.
The Notre Dame campus and football program have dealt with their own separate coronavirus outbreaks since school resumed last month. Notre Dame paused football activities and had to postpone its scheduled game last weekend with Wake Forest to December because of coronavirus issues stemming from its game against South Florida on Sept. 19.
On Monday, the school reported 18 positive tests in the football program during its latest round of testing. As a result, 25 players were in isolation and 14 others in quarantine due to an outbreak coach Brian Kelly tied to the pregame meal before the game against South Florida, and a player vomiting on the sideline.
Notre Dame resumed practice on Wednesday.
In August, Jenkins ordered the school to go to virtual learning for two weeks after a spike in cases in South Bend, but that decision did not impact football workouts.
BREAKING: Notre Dame President Fr. John Jenkins, who was at the WH SCOTUS announcement on Saturday and was criticized for not wearing a mask and shaking hands, has tested positive for COVID-19.
Notre Dame opted to join the ACC for this season as a way to play the 2020 football season, a decision that had a significant impact not only on the ACC opting to move forward with a fall season but other conferences as well. In late July, Jenkins voted as a member of the ACC board of directors -- consisting of all 15 league presidents and chancellors -- to move forward with the season just as the Big Ten and Pac-12 decided to pause.
In an op-ed he wrote for The New York Times in May, Jenkins said, "Athletic competition presents another set of challenges. We believe we can, with aggressive testing, hygiene and careful monitoring, keep student-athletes safe. Indeed, keeping healthy relatively small cadres of student-athletes, coaches and support staff members is a less daunting challenge than keeping safe the several thousand other people in the campus community."
Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick maintained throughout the offseason and into the summer that he felt confident the Irish would be able to play this season, even though there might be interruptions.
The article, below, was found as I was trying to find out which rock Sean Hannity slid beneath.
The reporting claims House Ethics released a report.
I searched House Ethics for the report, but found nothing which led me to believe the matter was referred to the OIG, which in turn, may have referred to his Florida District U.S. Attorney Office, which may have been the source of this article, but, hey, what do I know?
I know messy leakiness when I see it because Matt was mean to my Sweetie.
Neither do I know if Matt is going to be stripped of his right to keep and bear the arms of the United States if he is defrocked of his law license.
Fox News’s Sean Hannity advised Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) about a tweet that was perceived as threatening to President Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen in 2019, according to a House Ethics Committee's report released on Friday.
The report on Gaetz included screenshots from a text conversation between Hannity and the Florida representative with the handwritten label “conservation with Sean Hannity on Feb 27th.”
That 2019 text conversation and the ethics investigation were centered on a tweet by Gaetz that suggested Cohen had not been faithful to his wife. The tweet came one day before the president’s former lawyer was scheduled to testify before a House committee.
Democrats and legal experts accused Gaetz of participating in witness tampering with the tweet, prompting the lawmaker to apologize. The House Ethics Committee admonished Gaetz for his Cohen tweet, saying it "did not meet the standards by which Members of the House should govern themselves."
The text exchange included in the report began with one from Gaetz: “F---ers are coming for my law license. You were right. We all spend our time in the barrel.”
“Run this shit by me!!!” Hannity replied. “You won’t lose the license.”
The Fox News host said it was “smart to pull it down and say what u said. It will pass. Attention span of people is zero. Just learn from it.”
The Florida lawmaker followed up by asking how long he should “lay low.” Hannity answered, “Just a while” and encouraged Gaetz to reach out to Cohen or his lawyer Lanny Davis.
“Just say you were upset at what was transpiring and meant it as a question, not a statement,” Hannity wrote. “And u would never threaten anyone. In retrospect it was poorly written and you wish u didn’t send it. That’s a CYA,” using an acronym for “cover your ass.”
Hannity then provided Gaetz with contact information for Cohen and Davis but instructed the lawmaker to send the apology to “me first.”
Gaetz sent a draft of the apology to Hannity. Another screenshot shows the Florida representative saying, “Cohen asked me to post apology and pls ask ppl to leave his family alone. I did. It felt good.”
Hannity responded, “Good,” and Gaetz followed up by saying, “You are amazing. Thank you.”
Fox News and Gaetz’s office did not immediately return a request for comment.
In February 2019, the Florida lawmaker posted the tweet in question to Cohen. It said, “Do your wife & father-in-law know about your girlfriends? Maybe tonight would be a good time for that chat. I wonder if she’ll remain faithful when you’re in prison. She’s about to learn a lot.”
Gaetz uses convention speech to criticize Biden for lack of activity
Michael Cohen burned book manuscript to prevent leak by pro-Trump...
Gaetz tweeted an apology hours after posting the tweet, saying it was not his “intent to threaten.”
"While it is important 2 create context around the testimony of liars like Michael Cohen, it was NOT my intent to threaten, as some believe I did," he tweeted. "I’m deleting the tweet & I should have chosen words that better showed my intent. I’m sorry."
Months later, the Florida Bar determined there was “no probable cause” that Gaetz broke its rules with his tweet on Cohen.
Sometimes, the most restrictive environment can be your own home, but, hey, what do I know?
I know the U.S. Marshal has the ability to be deputized in special operations.
U.S. Marshal Operations
Each year the USMS carries out hundreds of special missions related to its broad law enforcement authority and judicial security responsibilities. It also responds to homeland security crises and national emergencies.
The USMS Special Operations Group is a specially trained, tactical unit comprised of Deputy Marshals, who can respond immediately to incidents anywhere in the United States or its territories.
Betsy has lots of pending litigation before the courts.
I also know the U.S. Marshal does lots of other stuff.
Asset Forfeiture
The USMS is responsible for managing and disposing of seized and forfeited properties acquired by criminals through illegal activities. Under the auspices of the DOJ’s Asset Forfeiture Program, the Marshals currently manage nearly $2.2 billion worth of property, and promptly disposes of assets forfeited by all Department of Justice agencies. The Program’s goal is to maximize the net return from forfeited property and then reinvest the proceeds for law enforcement purposes.
Witness Security
The U.S. Marshals ensures the safety of witnesses, who risk their lives testifying for the government in cases involving organized crime and other significant criminal activities. Since 1971, the Marshals have protected, relocated and given new identities to more than 8,500 witnesses and more than 9,900 of their family members.
The successful operation of the Witness Security Program has been recognized as providing a unique and valuable tool in the government’s battle against major criminal enterprises and international terrorism. Witness Security Program personnel are the world’s leading authorities and foremost experts on witness security matters, providing guidance and training to numerous government officials throughout the world.

As public schools grapple with the challenge of reopening during a pandemic, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos is getting criticism for her low profile.
DETROIT — As public schools grapple with the challenge of reopening during a pandemic, public education advocates are criticizing Education Secretary Betsy DeVos for working remotely from Michigan, where she owns a sprawling waterfront estate with a round-the-clock security detail paid for by taxpayers.
And while keeping herself largely physically distanced as the coronavirus continues to spread, DeVos has been a forceful advocate for President Donald Trump's demand that schools reopen in full and in person — potentially placing millions of teachers and students at risk of infection.
It's a striking bit of mixed messaging for DeVos, a billionaire heiress, major GOP donor and charter school advocate who had no experience with public education before she became education secretary. DeVos is the nation's top education official as school administrators deal with one the biggest health crises facing the nation: how to safely bring 51 million American children back into classrooms or administer virtual education during a pandemic.
As budgets are gutted, Betsy DeVos funnels money into private schools, educators say
AUG. 10, 202004:56
Questions persist as to why DeVos requires full-time protection from the U.S. Marshals Service, which NBC News reported she began receiving shortly after she was confirmed — the only Cabinet official with such an arrangement. In all, her security detail has cost taxpayers at least $25 million, NBC News has learned.
The Marshals Service wouldn't comment on the arrangement or any specific security threat DeVos faces.
Full coverage of the coronavirus outbreak
Rather than actively offer guidelines to public schools as they struggle with the immense financial and logistical challenges of reopening, DeVos told the Washington Examiner in June that she was working mostly remotely from Michigan, her home state — where she owns the 22,000-square-foot estate on Lake Macatawa — with a public schedule that has been mostly empty for the past several weeks, including no events on her public schedule for this week.
Education Department spokeswoman Angela Morabito said DeVos has been dividing her time among Michigan, Washington and road trips.
DeVos has been holding events not listed on her public calendar, including several sponsored by the conservative Federalist Society, according to Federalist Society postings. She has also participated in a few events related to private schools and advocacy for vouchers, including a roundtable July 23 at a private Christian school in Ohio and two events in the Carolinas with Vice President Mike Pence.
Her press office said she has been in constant contact with governors and state superintendents virtually and in person. Yet NBC News couldn't find a record of similar events with public school officials; Noelle Ellerson Ng, associate executive director for advocacy at AASA The School Superintendents Association, representing public school superintendents in 49 states, said the group hasn't heard from DeVos this year.
"We would stand ready to answer that call. That's my job, to be a direct liaison to the federal government," said Ellerson Ng, who said she facilitated many such meetings for previous education secretaries of both parties. The group has been critical of DeVos' proposed education budget cuts.
State officials are also pleading for more assistance.
With school reopening in three weeks, Gov. Ned Lamont, D-Conn., told MSNBC on Friday that he still doesn't know "what, if anything, the feds are going to do to help."
Days after DeVos' and Pence's visit July 29 to a classroom at Thales Academy, a network of private nonsectarian community schools in North Carolina, to highlight the school as a model for reopening, several fourth-grade students were asked to quarantine after a student tested positive for COVID-19. "Thales is a great example more schools could emulate," DeVos said during the visit. "You didn't wait for guidance from the Department of Education. You didn't ask for permission."
DeVos had no events on her public calendar last week.
Still, she continues to echo the president's demand that public schools reopen for in-person instruction, regardless of the levels of infection in their communities. She also insists that it isn't her job to help localities determine how to do so safely.
There was no mention of Betsy, but, then again, Emperor Pence was there, by Trump's side, in his Mephistophelesic fashion. This is about Parental Rights.
Any such concerns could have been referred to the DHHS OIG to be referred out to DOJ to be referred out to the proper jurisdictions(s) to address any such issues with private research funded through public dollars.
The Secretary of State has the signatory authority to sign off on any foreign policy engagements, but, hey, what do I know?
I know this looks like a usurpation of executive power.
I am quite sure there are those who are assigned to do real time field observations on this activity.
But, just in case no will take the time out of their day to find out why Azar would be so brazenly bold to falsely advise Trump, while, from what I can see in a cursory glance, personally inure himself, in his official capacity of public office, to advocate for a foreign corporation, of which, he more than likely is still generating revenue, as a primary stakeholder of Eli Lilly, but, hey, what do I know?
I know Eli Lilly is in Taiwan and I bet Emperor Pence can tell us about his days when he was sending lots of emails back and forth to his friends, when he was in Indiana, that he does not want to let us read the contents, thereof.
The main objective of this multicenter international study is the collection and analysis of data regarding safety and effectiveness of Humatrope® for the treatment of growth-hormone deficiency and other growth disorders. This study provides information to doctors prescribing growth hormone to treat children and adolescents, ultimately helping physicians to use these products more effectively.
The GeNeSIS study includes a core study and 5 sub-study modules: DNA Analysis, Growth Prediction, SHOX Deficiency, Neoplasia, and Idiopathic Short Stature. Objectives of the sub-studies are: to characterize gene defects associated with hypopituitarism, growth disorder or short stature; to develop accurate growth prediction models using clinical and biochemical data; to characterize the clinical, endocrine and other features associated with SHOX deficiency and related disorders; to characterize the natural history of neoplastic disease in children evaluated or treated for endocrine or growth disorders; and to examine the variability among genes, proteins and other biomarkers that may be related to growth in children in the United States who receive Humatrope for treatment of idiopathic short stature. (a.k.a. protein deficiencies).
Eligibility Criteria
Children of either sex who are being treated with Humatrope for growth failure are eligible to participate in the core study. Core study participants may also participate in applicable sub studies, through separate consents.
Boys: All ages
Girls: All ages
Growth failure is a fancy term for starving tiny humans whose parents have failed to provide for the best interests of the child (a.k.a. "The Poors" - always said with clinched teeth because there is never an issue when it comes to parental consent to use kids as lab rats when you own them through one of your corporate shape shifting NGOs.)
Requirements
Participation will only involve data collection and annual blood draws, starting during each participant’s first treatment with growth hormone and will continue during subsequent routine visits with the child’s doctor. The study will collect and record all medical record information from lab rat tests, x-rays and clinic visits.
Visits: None beyond normal clinical care
Duration: Until patient is no longer seen in clinic (a.k.a. "death.", but then again, we have all the identification data to continue billing to Medicaid for cost reimbursements).
October 12, 2013 - On Saturday, The Pacers hosted a basketball clinic in conjunction with Eli Lilly. The purpose of the clinic was the promote healthy living among the youth of Taipei, Taiwan.
I also know one of Azar's primary platforms in DHHS is research and innovation, which means you need a vehicle to access your human lab rat populations, where, in this instance, is just so beautifully packaged for our viewing experience on the residuals of the peculiar institution, which is probably why Azar is doing what he is doing.
Always remember, corporations are people, too, with religious beliefs, who can adopt tiny humans, to provide parental consent for lab ratting.
Jim Jones seems to have spearheaded, with help, of course, the very first model of stealin' the children, land & vote because he is from Indiana and so is Emperor Mike Pence.
I am quite sure there are those who are now mumbling outloud, in a failed attempt to turn away, and go to another link, in knowing that I am intentionally foreshadowing a complete implosion of your sacred cognitive dissonance, because you know you must continue reading.
Jim Jones was not just into the implementation of the first transposable model in the acquisition of human goods, but had launched the first chattel ranching model in human asset forfeiture.
Jim Jones was gerrymandering and it looks like he had Eli Lilly as a fan.
Jones Appointment to San Francisco Housing Authority
On October 18, 1976, almost a year after he was elected as Mayor of San Francisco, George Moscone appointed Jim Jones to the San Francisco Housing Authority, the agency with jurisdiction over public housing in the city. The appointment has been interpreted as an indication both of Jones’ power in the city and of his weakness in the political realm.
It was a victory for Jones in several respects. The position gave the Temple leader a chance to turn his political rhetoric delivered from the pulpit into action, and Jones spoke up for the poor and minorities whom the Authority was supposed to serve. The new platform also gave him new audiences and more access to press coverage. Eventually, after becoming chair of the commission, he was able to hire three Temple leaders to positions on Housing Authority staff.
There were aspects of the appointment which were disappointing, however. The Temple’s active support of Moscone the previous year may — or may not — have been pivotal in the mayor’s victory, but the interval of 11 months between the election and the appointment acted to undermine Jones’ presentation of himself as kingmaker. Just as telling is that, even though Temple spokesman Mike Prokes served on Moscone’s committee to submit and review names for appointments to commissions in the new administration, neither Jones nor any other Temple names were among the first 100 nominations. And when Jones finally was selected for a position in March 1976, it was to the city’s Human Rights Commission. As Tim Reiterman point out in his book Raven, the appointment might have been “an appropriate place for a liberal preacher. But to Jones, it was a lateral appointment – the same position he had held 15 years earlier in Indianapolis” (p. 268). Jones declined the initial offer, and seven months later, Moscone made the second appointment.
The Temple leader served on the Housing Authority for less than a year. In August 1977, Jones embarked on his final trip to Guyana, and he did not leave Jonestown for the rest of his life.
Peoples Temple members included
attorneys who assisted Rev. Jones and other members on legal
questions ranging from obtaining guardianships of children
to operating nonprofit corporations that were primarily
engaged in acquiring property for the Peoples Temple. P2
In an effort to alleviate some of the economic challenges facing pastoral leaders, the Christian Church in Indiana in partnership with Lilly Endowment Inc. has created the FLOURISH! Program.
One of the founders of the youth conservative group Turning Point USA died at the age of 80 from complications of the coronavirus.
Bill Montgomery died on Tuesday after being diagnosed with COVID-19, according to two of his friends: pro-Trump conservative strategist Caleb Hull, who posted about the death on social media, and Chicago-based citizen journalist Vic Maggio.
In a statement acknowledging Montgomery's death, Turning Point USA released a statement calling the co-founder its “first believer and senior advisor."
“I can’t put into words how saddened I am by the death of my dear friend Bill Montgomery," Charlie Kirk, who co-founded the organization with Montgomery, told Politico.
A 2015 National Journal story explained that the two met at an event at Benedictine University and Montgomery urged Kirk to skip college so he could "start an organization to reach out to young people with your message.”
“It was Bill and Charlie’s chance encounter in 2012, along with Bill’s generosity and willingness to invest in an 18-year-old with no experience and no connections that gave birth to the dream that would one day become Turning Point USA,” Turning Point said of the discussion.
Kirk has frequently derided health officials' recommendations for people to wear masks while indoors or when they are unable to socially distance in order to stop the spread of the coronavirus.
It is with great sadness to share that TPUSA’s first believer and senior advisor Bill Montgomery has passed away. It was Bill and Charlie’s chance encounter in 2012, along with Bill’s generosity and willingness to...
“[E]very single time I go into one of these grocery stores, ‘Where’s your mask?’ I say, well first of all, the science around masks is very questionable, very questionable,” he said during a recent episode of his podcast. “In fact some people, some doctors think that masks actually make you sicker and have you less likely to be able to get oxygen and more likely to infect yourself, and less likely to be able to fight the virus, and actually more likely to be able to die sooner."
Hull tweeted a message that said he hopes people will stop politicizing the pandemic.
“I really wish people would just stop politicizing this pandemic and grow up while innocent people around us are dying,” Hull said. “You have no idea how painful it is to be forced to sit at home while your loved one dies alone in a hospital.
Where is the Certificate of Oath, with the Great Seal of the United States, Signed by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States? #Sealsmatter
Section 1. The executive power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his office during the term of four years, and, together with the Vice President, chosen for the same term, be elected, as follows:
Each state shall appoint, in such manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a number of electors, equal to the whole number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or person holding an office of trust or profit under the United States, shall be appointed an elector. The electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for two persons, of whom one at least shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves. And they shall make a list of all the persons voted for, and of the number of votes for each; which list they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate. The President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates, and the votes shall then be counted. The person having the greatest number of votes shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of electors appointed; and if there be more than one who have such majority, and have an equal number of votes, then the House of Representatives shall immediately choose by ballot one of them for President; and if no person have a majority, then from the five highest on the list the said House shall in like manner choose the President. But in choosing the President, the votes shall be taken by States, the representation from each state having one vote; A quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two thirds of the states, and a majority of all the states shall be necessary to a choice. In every case, after the choice of the President, the person having the greatest number of votes of the electors shall be the Vice President. But if there should remain two or more who have equal votes, the Senate shall choose from them by ballot the Vice President....unless those electors engaged in election interference fraud schemes like stealin' the children, land & vote through what is called gerrymandering, through a political party who has had its parental rights to keep and bear the arms of the United States, as a registered business entity, terminated, making any casting of the vote and tally to be illegitimate because, as a nullified entity, there are no duly existing quorum, the 2016 vote was fraudulently certified through the Secretaries of State, all the way down to the City Clerks, like what was done in Detroit, in Wayne County, by its Secretary of State, who filed the fake ass Michigan certification of the 2016 election with the Clerk of the House in that fake ass 2016 Special Election, which means Trump is not duly elected, hence he is illegitimate, where the Senate, U.S. Attorney General, and Chief Justice of SCOTUS, who administered the fake ass oath of Donald J. Trump, because his real legal name is Donald John Trump, and they all know it, because McGahn and the JonesDay crew made sure to cloak the foreign invasion of Detroit and is about to sell Trump down the river in another round of the 202 fake ass election.
The Congress may determine the time of choosing the electors, and the day on which they shall give their votes; which day shall be the same throughout the United States.
No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States....there are no electors for the Democratic National Committee nor the Republican National Committee because their fake all LLCs and backdoor inc. were dissolved, December 2015 and everyone covered it up because they are covering up the residuals of the peculiar institution, which is child welfare, the trafficking of tiny humans.
Trump became the presumptive Republican nominee as his last two opponents, Ted Cruz and John Kasich, dropped out of the race. Running against the Democratic Party’s candidate, former First Lady Hillary Clinton, Trump won a number of critical “Rust Belt” states and was elected the 45th U.S. President on November 8, 2016. Trump took the oath of office on January 20, 2017 in Washington, D.C.
Offered is President Trump’s signature, in blue marker, on a typewritten copy of the Oath of Office, dated January 20, 2017 on White House stationary. The 8½ x 11-inch white sheet has “Memorandum The White House Washington” in blue type across the top of the page, with the date and oath in bold black type. Trump’s signature is on the lower third of the page. The sheet has blue ink on the top edge. Trump was administered the oath by Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts on the steps of the U.S. Capital. This comes with a LOA from Beckett Authentication. https://goldinauctions.com/Donald_Trump_Signed_Presidential_Oath_of_Office__B-LOT56879.aspx
{My apologies for bringing you with me into one of my Post Traumatic Fraud Disorder Episodes, but I had flashbacks when it came to forging names of elected officials behind their backs, or having them sign documents under false advisement, or Chiefs of Staff and anyone else who has sold the signatures of Members of Congress and the White House, for about the same price range......, but hey, what do I know....}
The President shall, at stated times, receive for his services, a compensation, which shall neither be increased nor diminished during the period for which he shall have been elected, and he shall not receive within that period any other emolument from the United States, or any of them....wherefore this doctrine of emolument also applies to his cabinet, Chiefs of Staff, White House counsel, and campaign, like JonesDay, including the Vice President and CIA Director because they all have foreign corporations who raped Detroit in TARP through the act of gerrymandering, otherwise known as stealin' the children, land & vote, by executing an international coup in a well funded insurrection, to remove a sitting member of congress and U.S. icon, like they are tearing down statues, bleachbitting history, in foreign titles of lands, under a crown.
In case of the removal of the President from office, or of his death, resignation, or inability to discharge the powers and duties of the said office, the same shall devolve on the Vice President, and the Congress may by law provide for the case of removal, death, resignation or inability, both of the President and Vice President, declaring what officer shall then act as President, and such officer shall act accordingly, until the disability be removed, or a President shall be elected....if there exists what is called a tacit resignation, then, in the converse, there must also exist a tacit election, where tacit means, in this instance, someone lied, making Obama, the Archpresident, transposing Ecclesiastic models of juridic persons, under the Second Amendment, where, it may be a situation of Trump being the Archtreasury, or, as I prefer, the keeper of the children's trust.
Before he enter on the execution of his office, he shall take the following oath or affirmation:--"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
Section 2. The President shall be commander in chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the militia of the several states, when called into the actual service of the United States; he may require the opinion, in writing, of the principal officer in each of the executive departments, upon any subject relating to the duties of their respective offices, and he shall have power to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment.
He shall have power, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, shall appoint ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, judges of the Supreme Court, and all other officers of the United States, whose appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by law: but the Congress may by law vest the appointment of such inferior officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the courts of law, or in the heads of departments.....unless the president was not duly elected and is illegitimate because there are no valid certifications throughout the entire electoral process, making any appointments and executive orders such as this, nullified.
The President shall have power to fill up all vacancies that may happen during the recess of the Senate, by granting commissions which shall expire at the end of their next session.
Section 3. He shall from time to time give to the Congress information of the state of the union, and recommend to their consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient; he may, on extraordinary occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in case of disagreement between them, with respect to the time of adjournment, he may adjourn them to such time as he shall think proper; he shall receive ambassadors and other public ministers; he shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed, and shall commission all the officers of the United States.
Section 4. The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors....for falsely advising the President, because Chief Justice of SCOTUS John Roberts condoned the bad faith of the policy in his own breach of his oath of office, in failing to uphold the public policy of insurance to protect and serve the people in justice, which means not to procure and purvey tiny humans as lab rats, in Medicaid Fraud in Child Welfare, by promulgating the residuals of the peculiar institution, by allowing Trump to continue to be falsely advised.
Trump was falsely advised in the christian invasion of the United States through Religious Freedom Restoration Act, where the church is supposed to be the authority over the oaths of offices to protect the posterity of the nation, rather the best interests of the child, whereby the Vice President and all civil officers shall fall from the heavens, under the Second Amendment, which is why I am pacified.
See, how that all works out?
The USCCB is supposed to be the watchers over the oaths of office for the people, hence, the doctrine of separation, except when it comes to the Thirteenth Exception, strictly for the purposes of maximizing revenues, because it is illegal for a not for profit office holder to generate profit from the selling of tiny humans.
This Executive Order is entered into the public record, for the purposes of obviation of the congress, as a fraud, because the data cited in this are false, or rather, fake, fake, fake.

Executive Order on Strengthening the Child Welfare System for America’s Children
LAW & JUSTICE
Issued on: June 24, 2020
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Purpose. Every child deserves a family. Our States and communities have both a legal obligation, and the privilege, to care for our Nation’s most vulnerable children.
The best foster care system is one that is not needed in the first place. My Administration has been focused on prevention strategies that keep children safe while strengthening families so that children do not enter foster care unnecessarily. Last year, and for only the second time since 2011, the number of children in the foster care system declined, and for the third year in a row, the number of children entering foster care has declined.
We no longer "sell" children because the Great Thirteenth Exception affords, through federal funding, that, we, the holders of not-for-profit and for-profit corporate offices, to "procure and purvey" tiny humans through human asset management databases in the name of the tax exempt god.
But challenges remain. Too many young people who are in our foster care system wait years before finding the permanency of family. More than 400,000 children are currently in foster care. Of those, more than 124,000 children are waiting for adoption, with nearly 6 out of 10 (58.4 percent) having already become legally eligible for adoption.
More than 50 percent of the children waiting for adoption have been in foster care — without the security and constancy of a permanent family — for 2 years or more. The need for stability and timely permanency is particularly acute for children 9 years and older, children in sibling groups, and those with intellectual or physical disabilities.
Even worse, too many young men and women age out of foster care having never found a permanent, stable family. In recent years, approximately 20,000 young people have aged out of foster care each year in the United States. Research has shown that young people who age out of the foster care system are likely to experience significant, and significantly increased, life challenges — 40 percent of such young people studied experienced homelessness; 50 percent were unemployed at age 24; 25 percent experienced post-traumatic stress disorder; and 71 percent became pregnant by age 21. These are unacceptable outcomes.
Several factors have contributed to the number of children who wait in foster care for extended periods. First, State and local child welfare agencies often do not have robust partnerships with private community organizations, including faith-based organizations. Second, those who step up to be resource families for children in foster care — including kin, guardians, foster parents, and adoptive parents — may lack adequate support. Third, too often the processes and systems meant to help children and families in crisis have instead created bureaucratic barriers that make it more difficult for these children and families to get the help they need.
It is the goal of the United States to promote a child welfare system that reduces the need to place children into foster care; achieves safe permanency for those children who must come into foster care, and does so more quickly and more effectively; places appropriate focus on children who are waiting for adoption, especially those who are 9 years and older, are in sibling groups, or have disabilities; and decreases the proportion of young adults who age out of the foster care system.
Always remember, DACA is a policy, not a law! Only congress makes law, not the executive branch, unless there is an exception for an unduly elected president to elucidate gerrymanding, but, hey, what do I know?
Children from all backgrounds have the potential to become successful and thriving adults. Yet without a committed, loving family that can provide encouragement, stability, and a lifelong connection, some children may never receive the support needed to realize that potential.
This order will help to empower families who answer the call to open their hearts and homes to children who need them. My Administration is committed to helping give as many children as possible the stability and support that family provides by dramatically improving our child welfare system.
Sec. 2. Encouraging Robust Partnerships Between State Agencies and Public, Private, Faith-based, and Community Organizations. (a) In order to facilitate close partnerships between State agencies and nongovernmental organizations, including public, private, faith-based, and community groups, the Secretary of Health and Human Services (the “Secretary”) shall provide increased public access to accurate, up-to-date information relevant to strengthening the child welfare system, including by:
(i) Publishing data to aid in the recruitment of community support. Within 1 year of the date of this order and each year thereafter, the Secretary shall submit to the President, through the Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy, a report that provides information about typical patterns of entry, recent available counts of children in foster care, and counts of children waiting for adoption. To the extent appropriate and consistent with applicable law, including all privacy laws, this data will be disaggregated by county or other sub-State level, child age, placement type, and prior time in care.
(ii) Collecting needed data to preserve sibling connections.
(A) Within 2 years of the date of this order, the Secretary shall collect information from appropriate State and local agencies on the number of children in foster care who have siblings in foster care and who are not currently placed with their siblings.
(B) Within 3 years of the date of this order, to support the goal of keeping siblings together (42 U.S.C. 671(a)(31)(A)), the Secretary shall develop data analysis methods to report on the experience of children entering care in sibling groups, and the extent to which they are placed together. The Secretary’s analysis shall also assess the extent to which siblings who are legally eligible for adoption achieve permanency together.
(iii) Expanding the number of homes for children and youth.
(A) Within 2 years of the date of this order, the Secretary shall develop a more rigorous and systematic approach to collecting State administrative data as part of the Child and Family Services Review required by section 1123A of the Social Security Act (the “Act”) (42 U.S.C. 1320a–2a). Data collected shall include:
(1) demographic information for children in foster care and waiting for adoption;
(2) the number of currently available foster families and their demographic information;
(3) the average foster parent retention rate and average length of time foster parents remain certified;
(4) a target number of foster homes needed to meet the needs of children in foster care; and
(5) the average length of time it takes to complete foster and adoptive home certification.
(B) The Secretary shall ensure, to the extent consistent with applicable law, that States report to the Secretary regarding strategies for coordinating with nongovernmental organizations, including faith-based and community organizations, to recruit and support foster and adoptive families.
(b) Within 1 year of the date of this order, the Secretary shall issue guidance to Federal, State, and local agencies on partnering with nongovernmental organizations. This guidance shall include best practices for information sharing, providing needed services to families to support prevention of children entering foster care, family preservation, foster and adoptive home recruitment and retention, respite care, post-placement family support, and support for older youth. This guidance shall also make clear that faith-based organizations are eligible for partnerships under title IV-E of the Act (42 U.S.C. 670 et seq.), on an equal basis, consistent with the First Amendment to the Constitution.
Sec. 3. Improving Access to Adequate Resources for Caregivers and Youth. While many public, private, faith based, and community resources and other sources of support exist, many American caregivers still lack connection with and access to adequate resources. Within 1 year of the date of this order, the Secretary shall equip caregivers and those in care to meet their unique challenges, by:
(a) Expanding educational options. To the extent practicable, the Secretary shall use all existing technical assistance resources to promote dissemination and State implementation of the National Training and Development Curriculum, including, when appropriate, in non-classroom environments.
(b) Increasing the availability of trauma-informed training. The Secretary shall provide an enhanced, web-based, learning-management platform to house the information generated by the National Adoption Competency Mental Health Training Initiative. Access to this web-based training material will be provided free of charge for all child welfare and mental health practitioners.
(c) Supporting guardianship. The Secretary shall provide information to States regarding the importance and availability of funds to increase guardianship through the title IV-E Guardianship Assistance Program (42 U.S.C. 673), which provides Federal reimbursement for payments to guardians and for associated administrative costs. This information shall include which States have already opted into the program.
(d) Enhancing support for kinship care and youth exiting foster care. The Secretary shall establish a plan to address barriers to accessing existing Federal assistance and benefits for eligible individuals.
Sec. 4. Ensuring Equality of Treatment and Access for all Families. The Howard M. Metzenbaum Multiethnic Placement Act of 1994 (the “Multiethnic Placement Act”) (Public Law 103-382), as amended, prohibits agencies from denying to any person the opportunity to become an adoptive or a foster parent on the basis of race, color, or national origin (42 U.S.C. 671(a)(18)(A)); prohibits agencies from delaying or denying the placement of a child for adoption or into foster care on the basis of race, color, or national origin (id. 671(a)(18)(B)); and requires agencies to diligently recruit a diverse base of foster and adoptive parents to better reflect the racial and ethnic makeup of children in out-of-home care (id. 662(b)(7)). To further the goals of the Multiethnic Placement Act, the Secretary shall:
(a) within 6 months of the date of this order, initiate a study regarding the implementation of these requirements nationwide;
(b) within 1 year of the date of this order, update guidance, as necessary, regarding implementation of the Multiethnic Placement Act; and
(c) within 1 year of the date of this order, publish guidance regarding the rights of parents, prospective parents, and children with disabilities (including intellectual, developmental, or physical disabilities).
Sec. 5. Improving Processes to Prevent Unnecessary Removal and Secure Permanency for Children. (a) Federal Review of Reasonable Effort Determinations and Timeliness Requirements.
(i) Within 2 years of the date of this order, the Secretary shall require that both the title IV-E reviews conducted pursuant to 45 CFR 1356.71 and the Child and Family Services Reviews conducted pursuant to 45 CFR 1355.31–1355.36 specifically and adequately assess the following requirements:
(A) reasonable efforts to prevent removal;
(B) filing a petition for Termination of Parental Rights within established statutory timelines and court processing of such petition, unless statutory exemptions apply;
(C) reasonable efforts to finalize permanency plans; and
(D) completion of relevant required family search and notifications and how such efforts are reviewed by courts.
(ii) In cases in which it is determined that statutorily required timelines and efforts have not been satisfied, the Secretary shall make use of existing authority in making eligibility determinations and disallowances consistent with section 1123A(b)(3)(4) of the Act (42 U.S.C. 1320a-2a(b)(3)(4)).
(iii) Within 2 years of the date of this order, the Secretary shall develop metrics to track permanency outcomes in each State and measure State performance over time.
(iv) Within 6 months of the date of this order, the Secretary shall provide guidance to States regarding flexibility in the use of Federal funds to support and encourage high-quality legal representation for parents and children, including pre-petition representation, in their efforts to prevent the removal of children from their families, safely reunify children and parents, finalize permanency, and ensure that their voices are heard and their rights are protected. The Secretary shall also ensure collection of data regarding State use of Federal funds for this purpose.
(b) Risk and Safety Assessments.
(i) Within 18 months of the date of this order, the Secretary shall collect States’ individual standards for conducting risk and safety assessments required under section 106(b)(2)(B)(iv) of the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (42 U.S.C. 5106(b)(2)(B)(iv)).
(ii) Within 2 years of the date of this order, the Secretary shall outline reasonable best practice standards for risk and safety assessments, including how to address domestic violence and substance abuse.
Sec. 6. Indian Child Welfare Act. Nothing in this order shall alter the implementation of the Indian Child Welfare Act or replace the tribal consultation process.
Sec. 7. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:
(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or the head thereof; or
(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.
(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.
(c) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.
