FIVE STORIES PRESIDENT TRUMP DOESN'T WANT YOU TO MISS

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos Wants Schools Open Full-Time This Fall —Chicago Tribune “Ultimately, it’s not a matter of if schools need to open, it’s a matter of how. School must reopen, they must be fully operational. And how that happens is best left to education and community leaders,” Education Secretary Betsy DeVos told governors this week. On Tuesday, President Trump held a White House summit on reopening schools this fall. China Never Reported Existence of Coronavirus to World Health Organization —The Washington Free Beacon “Contrary to claims from both Chinese officials and the World Health Organization, China did not report the existence of the coronavirus in late 2019, according to a WHO timeline tracking the spread of the virus. Rather, international health officials discovered the virus through information posted to a U.S. website,” Adam Kredo reports. Last Week's Jobs Report Was Good. Here's Why the July Report Will Be Even Better in Spite of Pandemic Fears. —Yahoo Finance “The June employment report from the [Bureau of Labor Statistics] showed an increase of 4.8 million jobs,” Yahoo Finance reports. Now, “daily job listing data, especially in the retail and hospitality sectors,” indicate that July could be an even stronger month for job growth. Trump Committed to Helping Hispanics Create Prosperity Through Business, Education —Miami Herald “As the daughter of first-generation Mexican Americans born in a working-class community in Chicago, I know firsthand how important opportunity is in promoting upward mobility and achieving the American Dream,” writes U.S. Small Business Administrator Jovita Carranza. And creating such opportunity is the “central goal” behind an executive order on Hispanic prosperity that President Trump signed Thursday. The Media’s War on Words —National Review “Every time some new correct-speak emerges, CNN and all the media will participate in browbeating us into subservience. Progressive pundits will laugh off concerns about the Orwellian slippery slope. And all of them will immediately sign on to the next round of rhetorical groupthink and further degrade clear language and clear thinking,” David Harsanyi writes.
