Shortly before he was officially diagnosed with coronavirus , NBA star Rudy Gobert of the Utah Jazz went out of his way to contaminate various microphones and recorders at a press conference by touching them with his hands .

“ The NBA will use this hiatus to determine next steps for moving forward in regard to the coronavirus pandemic.
” It is feared that Gobert may have contaminated other NBA players during a string of recent games before he started exhibiting symptoms for coronavirus .

The Jazz franchise has reported that the “ individual ’ s symptoms diminished over the course of today , ” referring to Gobert .
They noted that the “ preliminary positive result came back right before tip-off ” so everyone was forced to leave the game in Oklahoma City after they had already arrived to the arena .

“ The individual is currently in the care of health officials in Oklahoma City .

Apparently Gobert was attempting to make a joke about the hysteria over the coronavirus with his display during a Monday press conference, which has to be seen to be believed.

On Wednesday, Gobert was diagnosed with coronavirus, and his contamination has resulted in the entire NBA season being suspended. The scheduled Utah Jazz-Oklahoma City Thunder game was called off when Gobert’s illness was discovered.
“The NBA is suspending game play following the conclusion of tonight’s schedule of games until further notice,” the league announced in a statement issued right after 9:30 p.m. E.S.T. “The NBA will use this hiatus to determine next steps for moving forward in regard to the coronavirus pandemic.”
It is feared that Gobert may have contaminated other NBA players during a string of recent games before he started exhibiting symptoms for coronavirus.

Others have speculated that the entire league could be infected based upon analysis done with the recent NBA schedule.

The Jazz franchise has reported that the “individual’s symptoms diminished over the course of today,” referring to Gobert. They noted that the “preliminary positive result came back right before tip-off” so everyone was forced to leave the game in Oklahoma City after they had already arrived to the arena.
“We are working closely with the CDC, Oklahoma and Utah state officials and the NBA to determine how to best move forward as we gather more information,'” the Jazz said in a statement. “The individual is currently in the care of health officials in Oklahoma City. In coordination with the NBA and state officials, we will provide updates at the appropriate time.”
“It’s a very serious time right now,” Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said about the NBA suspending the season. “I think the league moved appropriately and prudently and we’ll all just have to monitor the situation and see where it goes from here.”
“This is a global pandemic where people’s lives at stake,” said Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks NBA franchise. “I’m a lot more worried about my kids, and my mom is 82 years old, and talking to her, and telling her to stay in the house, than I am about when we play our next game.”
“As we’ve said from the beginning, the health and safety of our fans, employees, players and partners is our top priority and thus we fully support the NBA’s decision to postpone games,” Orlando Magic CEO Alex Martins said. “We will continue to stay in contact with the league, and local, state and federal health experts as we closely monitor this public health crisis.”
Hopefully nobody else caught the coronavirus because of Gobert’s ridiculous and dangerous stunt at the press conference.

bigleaguepolitics--2020-03-11--JAIL: Fake Immigration Attorney ARRESTED After Allegedly Filing Hundreds of Bogus Asylum Claims

Explosive new audio has emerged of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk advocating for an incredible 50 million new immigrants to be dumped into the United States .
Kirk strongly rejects “ America First ” arguments that the nation is full and quality jobs and wages must be protected for native U.S. citizens .
He wants unprecedented levels of mass immigration to help boost corporate profits and GDP numbers .
“ I encourage all of you to fly non-stop from New York to San Francisco with your window open , you ’ re not allowed to sleep , and tell @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in this country , ” Kirk said , after prefacing his remarks by saying he knew his argument would sound “ silly.
” After claiming that America has too much land , Kirk made his argument in favor of mass immigration at record numbers .
take our poll - story continues below “ The United States of America is an incubator for great ideas .
I think we could take another 50 million highly-qualified people in the next ten years and not even feel the hit , ” he said .
Kirk then @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that overwhelmingly vote Democrat after they become U.S. citizens .
“ I ’ ve been to Dayton , Ohio where they have a highly-functional immigrant community from Armenia , and some are Muslim , and some are Christian… I see that as a great success story that could happen all over the country , ” Kirk said .
“ I was just in New York .
When you walk the streets of New York and you really feel the spirit , you feel the energy , and you see the shops , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s the market at best , ” he added , talking up the infamously liberal metropolis that is besieged with crime under far-left rule .
Kirk explained that he wants legal mass immigration but considers illegal mass immigration to be the bane of society .
“ If you have more people who are all going to bring money with them – or , even better – bring skills with them , the country will only get wealthier , the country will only get more productive , and the country will only succeed more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ And what really cheapens that , or what , I should say , jeopardizes that ?
That ’ s a better way to phrase it .
You have uncontrolled surges of illegals border jumping and line cutting into the country , ” he added .
The entire clip can be heard here : This is hardly the first time that Kirk has argued to flood the U.S. with immigrants : A source close to BLP brought attention to Charlie Kirk ’ s previous book Time for a Turning Point , which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ book was released in 2016 and outlines Kirk ’ s vision for free markets and limited government .
Apart from the generic Boomer conservative talking points about limited government that the book covered , it did approach the topic of immigration .
However , Kirk ’ s vision for immigration did not align with any principle that America First advocates push for .
In fact , a significant portion of his immigration section consists of a plan to install a two-year probationary period which would allow an unspecified number of immigrant workers to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ status provided that they commit no crimes .
In one paragraph , Kirk gushed over the economic potential that his migration scheme could bring about and talked about how an “ invisible hand ” would guide immigrants under this hypothetical scheme .
Kirk is one of the most influential operatives in the conservative movement working to steer President Trump away from his mandate on immigration and to adopt Jeb Bush-style policies on the crucial issue .

JAIL: Fake Immigration Attorney ARRESTED After Allegedly Filing Hundreds of Bogus Asylum Claims
An man who posed as an immigration attorney in Florida allegedly filed more than 200 fake asylum applications with the federal government.
Elvis Harold Reyes is being charged with mail fraud, making false statements in immigration documents, and aggravated identity theft. The charges were announced Wednesday in a press release from Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Reyes, a resident of Brandon, Florida, allegedly sought out illegals who were seeking driver’s licenses and work authorization. He advertised himself as an immigration attorney, a pastor, and a former federal law enforcement officer, according to authorities. He operated a company that was advertised as EHR Ministries Inc.
Reyes is being charged for applications filed with United States Citizenship and Immigration Services that made false claims in order to secure immigration benefits for illegals. He allegedly manufactured claims of persecution and imminent fear of returning to home counties on behalf of his clients.
Reyes apparently didn’t coordinate the sham applications with the applicants themselves, failing to tell them that filing bogus immigration applications is a federal crime.
It appears the man’s goal was to convince the illegals hiring him to retain his services. It’s unclear at this time if any of the fraudulent immigration or asylum applications he allegedly filed were approved by USCIS or other federal immigration agencies.
Reyes could face up to decades in prison for his pervasive defrauding of the US immigration system, with maximum penalties of 15 years for the immigration fraud charges and 20 years on the wire fraud charges.
American asylum laws are regularly abused and utilized as a legal means to illegally enter the country by migrants with dubious claims of persecution. The Supreme Court approved President Donald Trump’s game-changing ‘Stay in Mexico’ policy on Wednesday, forcing migrants to remain in Mexico while their asylum claims run their courses through the court system.

American Conservative Union Chairman Matt Schlapp is under fire for potentially exposing thousands of conservatives to coronavirus during the Conservative Political Action Conference in National Harbor , Md two weeks ago .

Marriott Refutes Matt Schlapp, Claims No ‘Screens of Either People or Facilities’ Were Conducted at CPAC
American Conservative Union Chairman Matt Schlapp is under fire for potentially exposing thousands of conservatives to coronavirus during the Conservative Political Action Conference in National Harbor, Md two weeks ago.
Schlapp has defended his record, claiming without providing any evidence that 2,000 screens for coronavirus had taken place around the Gaylord National hotel where the conference was located.
“They did 2,000 screens all around the hotel,” Schlapp said to Laura Ingraham while appearing on her Fox News program. “They found nothing.”
“Several days ago they came to us and said there’s nothing to be alarmed about,” Schlapp said.
But Marriott hotels, who are the owners of the Gaylord, are disputing Schlapp’s narrative about testing hotel attendees for coronavirus.
“It is my understanding that no screens of either people or facilities has been performed at the property,” said Allison Sitch, a spokeswoman for Marriott.
“We take hotel hygiene and cleanliness very seriously and have already taken a number of additional steps to perform enhanced cleaning of areas of the hotel where the conference was hosted,” she said but maintained that there was no record of any testing regime taking place.
A worker who attended a meeting with Gaylord staff claims that the general manager of the hotel “was flat out asked if that was true” regarding the thousands of screenings that Schlapp contended took place.
“And he [the manager] said, ‘No,’” the worker said. “According to the general manager there’s been no sort of mass screening of employees … he flat out denied it.”
A Prince George’s County, Md. health official also reportedly said at the meeting that they “did not have any knowledge that the state of Maryland had screened thousands of employees.”
Ian Walters, spokesman for the American Conservative Union, was forced to backtrack somewhat about Schlapp’s assertion.
“I don’t think screening is the right term. It’s more of an assessment than a formal screening, an assessment or an evaluation,” Walters said.
The Prince George’s County Health Department issued a press release warning people who worked or attended the event to monitor their health closely while mentioning nothing about health checks.
“Residents who attended or worked this event should check their temperature twice a day and notify their health care provider and our Health Department if their temperature exceeds 100.4 or if they develop a respiratory illness,” the release said. “They should remain at home until they receive instructions about next steps from their health care provider or local health department.”
Trump’s soon-to-be chief of staff, Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC), Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) have been forced to quarantine themselves because they had contact with a man infected with coronavirus who attended CPAC. Reps. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and Doug Collins (R-GA) are also under quarantine and had contact with President Donald Trump before they were alerted that they came in contact with the infected individual at CPAC.
In addition, Schlapp exploded on journalist Raheem Kassam for expressing valid concerns about coronavirus at CPAC, accusing “War Room” podcaster of having sour grapes because he wasn’t booked to speak at the conference this year.
Odd & uncomfortable attempt by Matt Schlapp of CPAC to blame me for their coronavirus situation which embarrassed the President, Congressmen, etc. He claims I am driving a stake through his heart (lol wtf?) by providing attendees with info about the carrier at his conference… pic.twitter.com/8GsIgTJQL3 — Raheem Kassam (@RaheemKassam) March 11, 2020
It may be time for the ACU to replace Schlapp, who is a notorious supporter of the GOP establishment and open borders.

President Obama only declared a swine flu national emergency months after the disease had infected a million people in the United States.
Obama’s national emergency was declared in October 2009. This was six months after the Department of Health and Human Services designated it as an “emergency” in April 2009. The World Health Organization declared it a global emergency in June, four months before Obama’s national emergency.
A million Americans alone had already been stricken with the Swine flu months before the national emergency. Swine flu had caused 87 deaths by June. As of Friday, the Center for Disease Control’s latest figures indicate that Chinese coronavirus has caused 41 deaths- less than half of what swine flu inflicted, all without the national emergency declaration President Trump has enacted.
President Trump declared a coronavirus national emergency the same week the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic.
If there’s a President who truly dropped the ball when it came to a pandemic disease, it’s likely Trump’s predecessor.

He implored countries to take aggressive measures, while also using community mobilization and social distancing to save lives.
“Do not just let this fire burn,” he advised.
His comments came in the midst of various European countries reporting notable increases in infections and deaths. So far, Italy has recorded its highest death toll in one day.
Reports indicated that there were 250 deaths recorded during the last 24 hours. Now, Italy’s death toll is 1,266, with 17,660 total infections.
Spain, the next country after Italy hardest hit by the Wuhan flu, reported a 50 percent increase in fatalities to 120 on Friday. Infections moved up to 4,231.
Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez announced that a state of emergency will go into effect in Spain on Saturday, March 14, 2020 for two weeks.
More than 132,500 people have been diagnosed with the Wuhan flu in 123 countries across the globe, according to WHO reports.
The total number of deaths has gone up to 5,000. Dr Tedros described this as “a tragic milestone.”
“Europe has now become the epicentre of the pandemic, with more reported cases and deaths than the rest of the world combined, apart from China,” he said.
“More cases are now being reported every day than were reported in China at the height of its epidemic.”
This makes Trump’s previous travel ban from Europe, which he announced on March 11, look like sensible policy.
While political elites were screaming for open borders, Trump took bold action by banning travel from Europe.
This is in stark contrast to globalist Democrats who enjoy virtue signaling and gushing about open borders.
