Yeah, the truth. What does JUNIOR Wilhelm know about the truth?New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio (D) said Sunday the coronavirus outbreak will get worse in the next two months, adding that he does not think President Trump is doing enough to mitigate the pandemic.
"The truth is, and New Yorkers and all Americans deserve the blunt truth, it is only getting worse. And in fact, April and May are going to be a lot worse," the mayor said on NBC's "Meet the Press."
The outbreak will get even worse, he said, due to Trump's refusal to invoke the Defense Production Act for the medical equipment hospitals need.
"The president of the United States is from New York City and he will not lift a finger to help his hometown," de Blasio said, adding that New York City accounts for a third of the cases of COVID-19 across the country.
Mayor Bill de Blasio spent a mere seven hours — less than one full workday — at City Hall during the month he launched his bid for the White House, records reviewed by The Post show.NY Post: De Blasio’s senior staff in near revolt over his coronavirus response.

One former aide said de Blasio’s virtual disappearance from the Big Apple’s official seat of power sent a troubling message.
“If he’s trying to show New Yorkers that he’s over doing the job, he’s doing a good job of it,” the ex-aide said.
Another former de Blasio insider called the mayor’s job performance “real bad.”
“At this point, you’ve got to wonder how much of his heart is really in it,” the source added.
When Mayor de Blasio dragged aides and members of his NYPD security detail to his Brooklyn YMCA Monday morning amidst the coronavirus outbreak, fellow fitness enthusiasts were coughing and sneezing — and a mentally ill person was walking around touching the equipment, a gym source said.A shithole city (that once wasn't a shithole) elects a shithead mayor. What do you expect, New Yorkers?
“It’s crazy that he made his staff and detail come with him to the gym and expose them like that,” the source said.
But the incident is just one example of the mayor’s disregard for the health of his staff during the crisis, multiple sources told The Post.
There’s also growing frustration from senior aides, who fault the mayor for dithering instead of making decisions, micromanaging instead of leading, and insisting he knows best instead of listening to others, three sources said.
‘Thank god for Cuomo,’ is a common refrain among the mayor’s staff, made only partly in jest, sources said.

“[de Blasio] can’t handle the word ‘No,’ and it runs people down,” the source said.
“He is dismissive of everyone’s opinion around him,” added a second source.
“It’s very much his way or the highway in moments of crisis and he thinks he knows best,” the second source noted.

“He is a monster to deal with right now,” the second source explained.
“He’s incredibly condescending. He thinks he has a pulse on the emotions and feelings and concerns of everyday New Yorkers better than his staff, which is remarkable for a guy who lives in a mansion on the Upper East Side,” the source said.
Where were these protesters during the years of drone strikes ordered by Obama which killed so many innocent civilians? Oh - - - it didn't matter then. They were all too busy texting and searching Tinder for a date with their "free" Obama cell phones.A group of protesters rallied outside Sen.

On Friday night, anti-war groups such as the ANSWER Coalition and Democratic Socialists of America met in front of the Senate minority leader’s Park Slope apartment on Prospect Park West to show their displeasure with the killing of Qassem Soleimani.
The protesters claim that the move ultimately amounts to President Trump sounding the drums of war, concerning them that the country may be facing another long war.

Mayor Bill de Blasio said the heightened security is necessary as the U.S. and Iran are now at a “de facto state of war.”
More rallies are planned across the tri-state and the country on Saturday and over the weekend, including one at Times Square that figures to be larger and louder than the one Friday night. The rallies are expected to address the surge of more than 3,000 troops to the Middle East.
Surveillance video of Jeffrey Epstein's suicide attempt in jail has vanished, it was revealed Wednesday, as the mystery into the pedophile's death deepens.It's Magic! It just vanished and can't be found.
In court on Wednesday prosecutors revealed that they could not locate the footage from outside Epstein's cell at Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City when he attempted to take his own life on July 23.
'I don’t know the details of how it was lost or destroyed or why it wasn’t retained when it should have been,' lawyer Bruce Barket said in court.
In that attempt Epstein was found with neck injuries after he apparently tried to hang himself and was moved to suicide watch at the prison.
Two weeks later Epstein succeeded in killing himself in his cell on August 10.
However, authorities have no explanation as to how or why the footage from the July 23 attempt went missing. They said they simply could not find it[.]
