newyorkpost--2020-10-02--Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tests negative for coronavirus

The top editor of one of China ’ s state-run media outlets ...

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Friday that he tested negative for the coronavirus — but was reconsidering his upcoming trip to Asia as a precaution after President Trump and first lady Melania Trump were diagnosed with the illness.
“I’m feeling fantastic,” the top US diplomat told reporters traveling with him to Dubrovnik, Croatia, the last stop on a short European tour, according to Agence France-Presse.
Pompeo said he was tested “about 30 minutes ago” — just a few hours after Trump’s announcement — and added that it was the fourth time he had been tested during the past two and a half weeks.
He said he has not interacted with Trump since the Abraham Accords were signed in Washington on Sept. 15, when the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain formally recognized Israel.
“We are praying for the president and first lady that they’ll have a speedy recovery,” Pompeo said.
Trump announced his diagnosis on Twitter early Friday.
“Tonight, @FLOTUS and I tested positive for COVID-19. We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately. We will get through this TOGETHER!” he said.

There was no immediate reaction from Beijing to President Trump ’ s coronavirus diagnosis , but the top editor of one of China ’ s state-run media outlets suggested the commander-in-chief and first lady Melania Trump deserve it , according to reports .
“ President Trump and the first lady have paid the price for his gamble to play down the COVID-19 , ” Global Times editor-in-chief Hu Xijin said in a tweet .
“ The news shows the severity of the US ’ pandemic situation , ” Hu said .
“ It will impose a negative impact on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and may also negatively affect his re-election.
” Hu has been an outspoken critic of the Trump administration , particularly as the pandemic spread across the globe and after US-China relations hit a roadblock , according to Business Insider .
In June , the US State Department designated the Global Times — a tabloid published in both Chinese and English — and several other Chinese media outlets as foreign missions “ controlled by the government.
” The State Department has limited the number of staffers working for the Chinese outlets in the US @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of journalists ” in China .
Beijing retaliated by banning journalists from The New York Times , Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal .
The Chinese government has bristled at Trump ’ s attempts to blame China , where the disease emerged in Wuhan , for the outbreak and called for global cooperation in fighting it .

newyorkpost--2020-10-02--How Yankees, Rays are viewing rivalry heading into big ALDS

I am in on bat flips .
Encourage decorative footwear .
Support ...

After the Yankees suffered one of their ugliest losses of the season to the Blue Jays in Buffalo just over a week ago, they learned the Rays had clinched the AL East.
Following that Sept. 23 game, Luke Voit said, “We’ll see them again.”
Voit proved to be right after the division rivals advanced to the ALDS, and starting Monday at Petco Park in San Diego, the Yankees get their shot at redemption.
The two teams met 10 times in the 60-game regular season and Tampa Bay won eight of those games.
Mixed in were a lot of bad feelings and a near bench-clearing brawl triggered when Aroldis Chapman buzzed Mike Brosseau with a 101 mph fastball in a Yankees win on Sept. 1.
Afterward, Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash said: “Somebody’s got to be accountable. And the last thing I’ll say on it, I got a whole damn stable of guys that throw 98 mph. Period.”
The Rays made T-shirts celebrating Cash’s response, but didn’t take revenge in the team’s final matchup of the regular season the following day.
“We understand it’s there,’’ Giancarlo Stanton said of the bitterness after the Yankees worked out at Progressive Field in Cleveland on Thursday, hours after they beat the Indians in a wild Game 2 clincher.
“But they won the division,’’ Stanton said of the Rays. “They’ve got that now and we have an opportunity to let them just have the division. The full bragging rights chance is here. Shirts and hats don’t mean anything. We’re gonna be in San Diego and play it out there.”
Brosseau downplayed last month’s fireworks Thursday.
“I think everything that happened in New York is hopefully in the past,” Brosseau told reporters. “The way that we pitch is the way that we pitch. But as far as things carrying over from past experiences, at least from our end, I think we put it in the past and our focus is on getting past this round and moving on.’’
Cash and Aaron Boone served one-game suspensions following the incident, while Chapman’s appeal of a three-game ban was pushed to next year.
“We’re ready,’’ Stanton said. “It’s gonna be fun. It’s gonna be a good fight to take this East Coast battle to the West Coast.”
It will be the latest matchup between the two clubs that have grown to dislike each other over the last few years, with Tampa Bay serving as the top seed in the AL, and the Yankees fifth — a disparity Boone made light of Thursday.
“We’re clearly the underdog now [against] the big bad No. 1 seed of the AL East,’’ Boone said with a smile. “Look, I don’t think it will be very difficult to really focus. We want to win and advance. That’s where our focus is gonna lie. We don’t want to get caught up in the back and forth. There are gonna be things that come up that will probably be a little contentious during the series, but I’m confident our guys will do a good job of keeping their blinders on.”
Even if the teams continue to pitch up and in at each other, as has happened in the past.
“They’re gonna do what they have to do to try to make us uncomfortable,’’ hitting coach Marcus Thames said. “We have to do the same thing as hitters. If that’s their game plan, good luck to them. I don’t think they can pitch in for strikes. If we stick to our plan, our approach will be fine.”
The time for talking is over.
“That’s the entertainment business of it,’’ Stanton said of the feuding between the teams. “At the end of the day, it’s a series like this to make a statement. Not anything else.”
Boone believes that won’t be a problem.
“We want to win a championship,’’ Boone said. “This team has been through a lot. We’ve knocked on the door a lot. Hopefully this is the year we can kick it in.”

Deana Algarin, 45, was busted with the signs in her car by the New York State police on Highway 103 in Montgomery County, Fox News reported, citing the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office.
The stolen signs were from locations in Montgomery and Schenectady counties, the report said.
Algarin was charged with six counts of endangering the welfare of a child, criminal possession of stolen property, petit larceny and marijuana possession, police said.
She was also slapped with two citations for seatbelt violations.
It’s unclear if Algarin was related to any of the children.


newyorkpost--2020-10-02--Adam Gase calls out Jets for penalties: ‘It was ridiculous’

It took four plays for the Jets to break the ...

The 1991 football comedy “Necessary Roughness” wasn’t as laughable as all of the costly roughing penalties called against the Jets on Thursday night against the Denver Broncos.
The Jets committed four of their six personal fouls through the first two quarters and were whistled for 11 penalties for 118 yards altogether in a 37-28 loss to fall to 0-4 for the season.
Defensive coordinator Gregg Williams’ unit already has six roughing-the-passer flags this season, including two Thursday night on first-time starting quarterback Brett Rypien.
“We had multiple chances to get off the field, but we hurt ourselves. The penalties were just, they were brutal,” coach Adam Gase said. “We made them punt one time. … When we did hit them, we him ’em too late. We were getting personal fouls. It was ridiculous.”
According to ESPN Stats & Info, only two other NFL teams have been whistled multiple times for roughing the passer — Chicago (three) and Atlanta (two).
The Jets’ first 15-yard personal foul — a roughing call on linebacker Tarrell Basham on Rypien at the Broncos’ 42-yard line midway through the first quarter — led to a Brandon McManus field goal to cut the Jets’ lead to 7-3.
Defensive lineman Quinnen Williams also was called for roughing the passer early in the second quarter. The Broncos scored on the next play, a 48-yard hookup between Rypien and rookie wideout Jerry Jeudy, who ripped the ball away from Jets cornerback Pierre Desir.
Linebacker Alec Ogletree also was called for unnecessary roughness for a late hit on running back Melvin Gordon III with 11:34 in the second quarter. And safety Bradley McDougald also lost his composure with a late hit with backup quarterback Jeff Driskel sliding with 2:20 left in the second quarter, leading to a 1-yard touchdown run by Gordon.
The most costly penalty, however, was the Jets’ first of the second half. Williams grabbed Rypien’s face mask on what would have been a third-down sack with five minutes left in the fourth quarter on the series after Sam Ficken’s fifth field goal had put the Jets ahead 28-27.
Seven plays later, McManus drilled a 53-yard field goal to nudge the Broncos back into the lead, 30-28, with 3:08 remaining. Steve McLendon later got called for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Rypien in the closing seconds.


newyorkpost--2020-10-02--Kyrie Irving denies last-shot comments were LeBron James jab

After Kyrie Irving ’ s comments on teammate Kevin Durant ’ s podcast were perceived by some to be a shot at LeBron James , the Nets star posted a social media video calling it a “ false narrative ” created for a “ clickbait society.

“ One thing I ’ ve always been comfortable with , I felt like I was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ played for down the stretch , ” Irving had said on “ The ETCs with Kevin Durant ” podcast .

newyorkpost--2020-10-02--‘Pissed off’: Broncos’ Vic Fangio didn’t want team shaking Jets’ hands

Grading the Jets after their 37-28 loss to the Broncos ...

Things got tense at the end of the Jets’ 37-28 loss to the Broncos on Thursday night.
Broncos coach Vic Fangio ordered his team off the field without shaking hands. Fangio could be heard on TV saying the team was going straight to the locker room with an expletive dropped in.
“There were a couple of personal fouls at the end and our sideline was pissed off and I wanted to avoid any confrontation and have it get ugly,” Fangio said. “I thought it was the prudent thing to do.”
The Jets committed six personal fouls in the game, including several roughing-the-passer penalties. Jets coach Adam Gase, who worked with Fangio in 2015 on the Bears staff, said he will talk to the Broncos coach soon about what happened.
“I think he was just trying to make sure we didn’t have any kind of melee,” Gase said. “It was getting heated.”
Gase said QB Sam Darnold suffered a sprained shoulder when he was hit by Broncos LB Alexander Johnson in the first half. Darnold exited the game briefly, but was able to play the rest of the game. Gase was unsure of Darnold’s prognosis.
“He came back in. He said, ‘I’m good to go.’ I’m sure I’ll find out more tonight or tomorrow morning,” Gase said.
Darnold said it was initially painful but he was not overly concerned.
“I’ve had something similar so I wasn’t too worried,” Darnold said.
Receiver Jamison Crowder was back in the lineup and made some key catches for the Jets after missing two games with a hamstring injury and had seven catches for 104 yards. But promising rookie WR Lawrence Cager injured his hamstring in the second quarter in a gruesome-looking injury.
The Jets also got production out of WR Jeff Smith, who was activated off injured reserve just before the game. Smith, who suffered a shoulder injury in training camp, caught seven passes for 81 yards.
The Jets had several players leave the game injured: CB Bless Austin (calf), OT Chuma Edoga (shoulder), OLB Jordan Jenkins (calf) and OT Mekhi Becton (shoulder).
The Jets made several roster moves prior to the game. They signed CB Javelin Guidry from the practice squad. They elevated CB Lamar Jackson from the practice squad. They released QB Mike White and CB Nate Hairston. White served as Darnold’s backup in the team’s first three games of the season. Joe Flacco is healthy enough to be the backup now, making White expendable.


newyorkpost--2020-10-02--Jets report card: No execution, no discipline

Sam Darnold came back into the game , came trotting back ...

Grading the Jets after their 37-28 loss to the Broncos on Thursday.
Offense
The Jets moved the ball better than they had in their previous games, but failed to reach the end zone too many times. They were 0-for-3 in the red zone, settling for Sam Ficken field goals. QB Sam Darnold (23 of 42, 230 yards, six rushes, 84 yards, 1 TD) played better than he did Sunday but did not get much help. Darnold was sacked six times.
Grade: D
Defense
Broncos QB Brett Rypien (19 of 31, 242 yards, 2 TDs, 3 INTs) played well in his first start and made Gregg Williams’ defense look bad for most of the night. CB Pierre Desir had two interceptions, one returned for a touchdown, but he also gave up several huge plays. The biggest issue on defense was the six personal fouls, which repeatedly extended drives and gave the Broncos life.
Grade: F
Special teams
Ficken was the Jets’ best offensive weapon. He went 5-for-5 on field goals and gave the Jets a fourth-quarter lead. Braden Mann averaged 48.7 yards on three punts, but his best play was a touchdown-saving tackle on a long return.
Grade: B
Coaching
Where is the discipline? The Jets committed 11 penalties for 118 yards, six of them personal fouls. The Jets need to get that cleaned up immediately. Adam Gase’s job is safe for now, but he needs to find a way to get this team to play better. Offensively, they can’t keep stalling in the red zone. Gregg Williams has as much to answer for in this loss. His defense got shredded by an undrafted quarterback making his first start.
Grade: F

newyorkpost--2020-10-02--The Jets’ best hope to avoid 0-16

The Jets’ best hope to avoid 0-16

Sam Darnold finished Thursday ’ s loss to the Broncos after leaving ...

Is it now fair to wonder if the Jets might go winless this season?
Thursday night might have been the Jets’ best early-season chance to earn a victory, and they failed. The Broncos are a team with numerous injuries to key players, including their best defensive player, Von Miller, and their starting quarterback, Drew Lock.
The Jets also were facing a third-string quarterback in Brett Rypien, making his first NFL start on a short week, and they lost, 37-28, at MetLife Stadium.
Everything was set up for the Jets to win and they couldn’t. So what makes you believe they can beat anyone at this point? It is a toss-up which is worse — the offense or the defense.
The Jets look like an expansion team right now. They will get some healthy bodies back next week, but will it make a difference?
Beleaguered coach Adam Gase stressed Friday that “fracturing is not an option,” but he also discussed the “non-talent issues” that continue to plague his 0-4 squad entering next Sunday’s game against Kyler Murray and the Cardinals, which the Jets might have to play without starting quarterback Sam Darnold (shoulder).
Looking at the schedule, perhaps they can defeat the Dolphins (1-2) once in a home-and-home set bordering the Week 11 bye.
That seems to be their best hope right now. The Chargers (Oct. 18) haven’t looked great, but they have been better than the Jets.
There are surprises in the NFL and maybe the Jets will pull one off, but right now, 0-16 is not that crazy a thought. They also still have to play the Patriots twice, as well as the Bills, Chiefs, Raiders, Seahawks, Rams and Browns.
While Gase rightly is taking plenty of criticism for the Jets’ winless start, defensive coordinator Gregg Williams’ unit looks atrocious right now.
Like Gase, he does not have great players to work with, but that does not totally excuse how poorly they are playing. The defense failed to get a sack for the second straight game. Nothing has worked, even against Rypien.
Then there is the discipline problem. Williams coaches right up to the line of dirty play and sometimes crosses it. Remember, he was suspended for his role in the Saints’ Bountygate scandal. You can find an audio recording on the internet of him telling his players to injure the other team.
The Jets’ seven personal fouls against the Broncos, which handed Denver’s offense seven first downs, are inexcusable. You can’t win games like that. Williams needs to get his unit under control and find ways to pressure the quarterback.
“I hear what he’s saying [in meetings] and I know it’s been covered by me, with the point of emphasis around the league on hits on the quarterback. It’s something we know that what happened [Thursday], that can’t happen,” Gase said Friday when asked about Williams. “Our strike zone’s definitely got to be lower.
“We can’t hit the quarterback in the head. We can’t hit any part of it with our helmet, our hands. We’ve got to lower our strike zone. And if the ball’s gone, we’ve got to pull off. We can’t be having these penalties. … Those penalties kill us. We’ve got to get all of that cleaned up.”

Baskin told Tamron Hall on Friday: “If anything could lead us to any kind of conclusion on what happened to Don, then that would be fabulous because my name would be cleared. But I really think that he just crashed a private plane over the Gulf, and I don’t think that offering a reward is going to help prove that.”

newyorkpost--2020-10-02--Why saving NYC’s bars and restaurants is vital for the whole state

As many as half of all New York City bars ...

Half of Gotham’s bars and restaurants could close for good within six months — taking more than 150,000 jobs with them — state Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli warned this week. That means big trouble for the whole state.
At the pandemic’s height, city bar and restaurant tax receipts fell 71 percent; nearly three-quarters of the industry’s 315,000 or so workers were unemployed. By August, employment was still only 55 percent of pre-pandemic levels.
These New Yorkers accounted for about one in 12 private-sector jobs, pre-lockdown. Industry job growth was 61 percent over the last decade, double the overall growth rate.
Wake up, Mayor de Blasio and Gov. Cuomo: The industry accounted for $27 billion in taxable sales last year — 15 percent of the state total. So if the restaurant industry goes, so do the city’s and state’s finances.
Outdoor dining is no solution: As DiNapoli noted, only 44 percent of restaurants have used outdoor seating — even in the warm months. Indoor dining at a pathetic 25 percent capacity won’t do enough more.
Cuomo’s “you can’t drink unless you eat” dictates and arbitrary enforcement are a huge drag on these establishments. And de Blasio’s humblebrag that he won’t eat inside any Gotham establishment only twists the knife.
Bars and restaurants can’t survive at 25 percent. They still have to pay their full electricity bills and rent — and 87 percent of them couldn’t make August rent.
Bars and restaurants are the city’s lifeblood. Cuomo and de Blasio must allow them to open further so their employees can make a living. The health of the state’s economy depends on


newyorkpost--2020-10-02--Andrew Cuomo’s latest nursing home deception

ALBANY — Gov .
Andrew Cuomo denied this week that his ...

ᐧGov. Cuomo just won’t let up on his nursing-home deceptions. Even as his minions refuse to share the true COVID-19 death total in nursing facilities — a figure plainly inflated by his health czar’s March 25 order that homes admit patients with the virus — he’s still pitching lies.
Asked by a radio host this week about families who blame the order for their loved ones’ deaths, he erupted: “That’s just incorrect, untrue and frankly it’s mean.”
Then the real chutzpah: “That situation never came to be in New York state, because we flattened the curve so effectively, we always had available hospital beds,” he insisted.
More: “And we never needed nursing home beds, because we always had hospital beds. So it just never happened in New York where we needed to say to a nursing home, ‘We need you to take this person even though they’re COVID-positive.’ It never happened.”
What bull. When the order went out, no one knew how bad things might get. Just as New York never wound up needing the thousands of ventilators it demanded (and got), hospitals never needed as many beds as they’d feared.
But the push was on to clear them. And the order did just that: Team Cuomo’s own July report admitted that more than 6,300 recovering COVID patients got sent to nursing homes. Fifty-eight nursing homes didn’t have a single case of the virus — in residents or staff — before their arrival.
And the state still refuses to say how many died after getting infected in a care home. The full count, including deaths after transfer to a hospital, is likely twice the 6,600-plus who died in the homes.
Lawmakers and others have been fighting to get the data — which Health Commissioner Howard Zucker admits he has — for months. Senate Health Committee Chairman Gustavo Rivera (D-Bronx) has a bipartisan bill to force out the info, though the gov’s allies may keep it bottled up.
The Empire Center filed a freedom-of-information request for the numbers back on Aug. 3. Nearly a month later came word they won’t be available until Nov. 5 — though the Health Department collects them daily.
Cuomo’s publisher just released the cover for his coming book, declaring: “Real leadership, he shows, requires clear communication, compassion for others and a commitment to truth-telling — no matter how frightening the facts may be.”
All true. Which makes the governor no real leader.


newyorkpost--2020-10-02--Daniel Jones in danger of following in Mark Sanchez’s turnover footsteps

It needs to be a fair fight .
An honest appraisal ... .

Hold on.
This is what the 0-3 Giants will be attempting to do with their season when they play the Rams on Sunday in Inglewood, Calif.
It, too, is what their quarterback Daniel Jones must do with the football if the Giants are able to hold onto whatever sliver of hope remains to their 2020 season.
Jones, in his second year, has been a turnover machine since the moment he was handed the keys to the Giants’ offense last season.
In his 16 career games, Jones has an eye-popping 10 games with multiple turnovers, which is the most in the NFL since the beginning of last season. He was intercepted 12 times last season and fumbled 18 times, losing 11 of those. That’s 23 turnovers in 12 starts.
In three games this season, he has been intercepted four times and lost two fumbles. That’s 15 NFL starts and 29 turnovers. An impossible winning combination. It’s of little surprise his career record as a starter is 3-12.
Jones’ six turnovers in three games this season have him on pace for 32, which is death by dumb mistakes for his team.
“It’s something that I’m mindful of every day in my preparation and have to continue to work on,’’ Jones said this week. “It makes it harder to win when we’re turning the ball over and I can’t afford to do that.’’
Coach Joe Judge on Friday said of his quarterback’s work this week: “I love his response. This guy is coming in laser focused.’’
Receiver Darius Slayton, Jones’ favorite target, said on Friday: “He came out poised, ready to practice, ready to work. I know he’s not going to be shaken by whatever, our slow start or what have you.’’
What’s perhaps most alarming about this ongoing problem is the fact Jones made every effort in the offseason to curb the problem by bulking up to become stronger and withstand the hate and heat in the pocket, and by working with a personal quarterbacks coach designed to help with ball security.
Yet, despite all of the offseason work, the same things continue to happen, and it’s killing the Giants, who are just flawed enough in other areas (read: defense) that they cannot withstand their quarterback giving the ball away.
“I certainly didn’t expect it going into the season; it’s something I’ve worked hard on to improve,’’ Jones said.
Jones says and does all the right things. It’s pretty clear to everyone around him that he’s smart, conscientious and committed. But smart, conscientious and committed doesn’t win football games when the ball is constantly turned over.
Another New York quarterback who played in these parts a few years ago named Mark Sanchez, like Jones, said and tried to do all the right things. Yet he spent his career dispensing turnovers faster than pharmacies selling hand sanitizer in the COVID-19 era.
Sanchez, who ended his career with 89 interceptions to his 86 touchdown passes, never stopped turning the ball over despite all of his efforts to curb it. And subsequently, the flame in a career that began as the fifth overall pick in the 2009 draft and included AFC Championship Game appearances in his first two seasons, was extinguished far too soon, because coaches could no longer trust him to protect the pigskin.
In Sanchez’s four seasons as the Jets starter, spanning 62 starts, he was intercepted 69 times. He also fumbled the ball 29 times and lost 17 of those. That’s 86 turnovers in 62 starts. Jones is on pace to produce similar numbers.
This is not to compare Jones and Sanchez and their respective skill sets. It’s meant to illustrate where Jones is right now.
Until Jones stops giving the ball away, he’ll be in danger of walking the same precarious path Sanchez did before eventually no team wanted him as its quarterback anymore because he couldn’t be trusted.
“I don’t think it’s a rare thing for young players who play quarterback to have these issues,’’ Giants offensive coordinator Jason Garrett said this week. “Daniel has a chance to be a really good player. He has all the physical tools. He has all the intangibles you want. He works hard at it, he’s tough, physically and mentally, and I think this is just something that the more he plays, hopefully the better he gets at it.’’
It is early — 16 games into a promising career for Jones. But in this league, it can get late early pretty quickly.

Ghislaine Maxwell used her friendship with socialite and columnist Barbara Amiel to try and get close to a string of rich and powerful men , Amiel recounts in a new score-settling memoir , “ Friends & Enemies : A Life in Vogue , Prison , & Park Avenue.

‘ It would be so helpful if you could introduce me to someone that might advise me.
’ ” When Amiel suggested a successful , well-connected woman , Maxwell bristled .
“ I was thinking of Henry Kravis and Leonard Lauder , ” she replied .
Amiel later arranged a meeting with the beauty billionaire , and they “ trotted off to the famed Lauder triplex on Fifth Avenue , ” where they met with Leonard and his wife .
“ Ghislaine turned @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ [ Her ] agenda wasn ’ t straightforward business advice … What a chump I was , wriggling in my chair , overcome with embarrassment .

” During their friendship , Maxwell — now facing charges of trafficking minors for Jeffrey Epstein — boasted she had more bathrooms at her homes and planes than Amiel .
Maxwell dumped her when Amiel ’ s husband was being investigated for fraud .
It came to a head at the Four Seasons .
Maxwell “ had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with repeat invites for us to go to Jeffrey ’ s island and relax , but I thought it might be rough sledding , marooned on an island counting kitchens or plunging my cellulite next to her toned thighs in the swimming pool with no way out but a rowboat , ” Amiel writes .
