The latest spate of leaked Fauci emails show Fauci knew all along about the Wuhan Lab leak, was the catalyst for Wuhan to pursue a gain of function for Covid-19, and worked aggressively to destroy the lives of anyone who dissented from his ‘science’ status.
The New Fauci Emails May Be Even More Damning Than You Think

Legal Insurrection readers may recall that in October of last year, I reported that the government had turned over nearly completely blacked-out emails in response to a Freedom of Information request from the Daily Mail.
The UK publication eventually obtained a cache of 32 emails about the secretive teleconference between British and American health officials at the heart of the “dramatic change” in how top scientists first talked about the origins of the coronavirus during the first week in February, 2020.
Those emails are at the core of some recent exchanges between Kentucky Senator Rand Paul and Dr. Anthony Fauci that have been particularly heated.
Rand Paul on Tuesday night called Dr. Anthony Fauci for being a ‘menace’, a ‘political creature’ and not a scientist after their showdown during a Senate Health Committee hearing earlier that day.
The Kentucky senator insisted to Fox News’ Martha MacCallum that there is a probability of ’90 to 10′ that the…

WASHINGTON, Penn. – If Democrats are going to hold the Senate, they must win the very few closely contested states up for grabs – particularly Pennsylvania, a politically divided state that includes volatile sections like this old industrial corner of the southwest.
Democrats in “western P-A.” fully believe they will decide the political fate of the Senate in a unique 2022 contest: the most populous state with a toss-up Senate race, and probably a close contest for an open seat in a state that President Joe Biden carried.
The new Governor of Virginia wasted no time in moving to strike down any CRT doctrine being taught in public schools, as well as ending mask mandates. Governor Youngkin used executive orders to make the changes.

Immediately after being formally sworn in, Virginia’s new Republican governor, Glenn Youngkin, signed an executive order banning Critical Race Theory (CRT) in the state’s schools. Executive Order One, issued on January 15, 2022, carries the title,
“ENDING THE USE OF INHERENTLY DIVISIVE CONCEPTS, INCLUDING CRITICAL RACE THEORY, AND RESTORING EXCELLENCE IN K-12 PUBLIC EDUCATION IN THE COMMONWEALTH.”

Youngkin swept to a surprise victory over the heavily favored democratic nominee in November 2021, after a year of Virginia parents pushing back at school board meetings against CRT in their kids’ curriculum.
EO One reads, in part (emphasis added):
Political indoctrination has no place in our classrooms. The vast majority of learning in our schools involves imparting critical knowledge and skills in math, science,…

The European Union may move in a matter of weeks to punish countries that don’t uphold the bloc’s democratic standards by withholding emergency pandemic aid as well as payments from the EU’s trillion-euro budget. Poland, which has clashed with the EU on multiple rule-of-law fronts, stands to miss out on more than 130 billion euros ($149 billion) from the bloc’s seven-year budget.

An air base housing US military forces and warplanes in the north of the Iraqi capital Baghdad has been hit by drones amid a rise in attacks on the positions of US occupation forces in the Arab country.
Sabereen News, a Telegram news channel associated with Iraqi anti-terror Popular Mobilization Units (PMU) or Hashd al-Sha’abi, reported that a number of combat drones hit the military compound 64 km north of Baghdad, on Saturday morning.
Sirens immediately sounded at the military compound, and the sound of gunfire could be heard from the site, it said.
The drone attack also sent dense plumes of smoke rising above the targeted area.
Police identify hostage-taker in Texas synagogue standoff

The suspect who held a rabbi and his congregants hostage at a Texas synagogue was identified Sunday as a British citizen, as witnesses recalled watching the terrifying situation play out on a Facebook livestream.
Hostage-taker Malik Faisal Akram, 44, was shot dead after the last of the four hostages was released from the 10-hour standoff at Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville on Saturday night, the FBI said.
“The FBI’s Evidence Response Team (ERT) will continue processing evidence at the synagogue,” the agency said. “At this time, there is no indication that other individuals are involved.”
A UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office spokesperson said in a statement on Sunday, “We are aware of the death of a British man in Texas and are in contact with the local authorities.”
Akram took four people captive, including Congregation Beth Israel Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker, during a Shabbat morning service around 11 a.m….
Major Blast in Tonga Create Tsunami and Heavy Ash Fall

The first major volcanic eruption struck today in the island nation of Tonga. Over the past few weeks, the small volcanic island of Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai had been experiencing minor but impressive explosions. However, on January 14-15, the eruption became much more violent, sending ash over 60,000 feet (18 kilometers) into the skies. The blast also generated a tsunami that hit many of the islands in Tonga, destroying homes and buildings across the country.
UPDATE January 15, 7 pm ET: News continues to trickle in about this eruption. Current estimates for the ash column put it closer to 100,000 feet (~30 kilometers), which means it punched into the stratosphere. It released a siginificant amount of sulfur dioxide as well. The tsunami that raced across the Pacific Ocean created waves over 3 feet (1 meter) tall in places like Santa Cruz, California and the Oregon coast. There might even have been a “meteo-tsunami” in the Caribbean generated by the pressure wave in the atmosphere. We detected the pressure wave here in Ohio at ~9:45 am ET, with our seismometer also seeing a low frequency (<20 Hz) signal, which could be the shockwave passing the midwest.
CNN milked 2021 for all she was worth, shilling doom and gloom vax shock and Trump Trump Trump evil racism fascism, blah blah blah. After awhile, all that screaming and fake news started to take its toll, and even your most committed hate porn watcher couldn’t find enough plausible deniability in the stories CNN was telling. Couple that with major violations of journalistic ethics such as we see from Fredo Cuomo, and child sex charges against two top CNN producers, and the hate watchers just couldn’t take being part of the whole sordid affair.
To recap, just to make sure you understand, this is not fake news, CNN has lost 90 perecent of the viewership it had JUST LAST YEAR. Reason to celebrate, for sure, given the seditious and violent nature of the content that DNC organ of fake pukes out.
Scandal-ridden CNN sees ratings dive by 90% after 2021 coverage
CNN’s ratings took a nosedive by a massive 90 percent both overall and in the all-important demographic coveted by advertisers in the first week of the new year.
The Jeff Zucker-led cable news network averaged just 548,000 viewers during the week of Jan. 3 — a major drop from the nearly 2.7 million viewers for the same week in 2021, according to Nielsen ratings.
The year-ago ratings were jolted by the left-leaning network’s coverage of the Jan. 6 attack on the US Capitol, which resulted in CNN having its most-watched day since Ted Turner launched the news outlet in 1980.
But on the one-year anniversary of the attacks, viewers flipped over to CNN’s right-wing rival, Fox News, which topped the ratings for coverage of the event.

SCOTUS Blocks Biden’s OSHA Vaccine Mandate

Excerpt:
Much to the chagrin of our resident despot Tony “I am the science” Fauci, the Supreme Court has struck down Biden’s vaccine mandate which would have used OSHA to force companies employing more than 100 people to force vaccinations on employees.
The mandate was met with strong opposition from private employers with some, like The Daily Wire, filing lawsuits almost immediately after it was announced.
The mandate was previously blocked by a lower court in response to another lawsuit filed on behalf of several states which argued the mandate was gross “unconstitutional overreach.” It would seem the SCOTUS has agreed.
In a 6-3 decision: “OSHA’s COVID–19 Vaccination and Testing; Emergency Temporary Standard, 86 Fed. Reg. 61402, is stayed pending disposition of the applicants’ petitions for review in the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit and disposition of the applicants’ petitions for writs of certiorari, if such writs are timely sought.

Unsmart guns, so-called smart guns, or guns with significant impediments to being assured of reliably utilizing a firearm in self-defense, are set to hit the US market. The unSmart guns have things like digital fingerprint safety features that are intended to assure only the user can fire the weapon, the kind of safety feature you want to rely on when you face a life or death situation.

Jan 11 (Reuters) – Personalized smart guns, which can be fired only by verified users, may finally become available to U.S. consumers after two decades of questions about reliability and concerns they will usher in a new wave of government regulation.
Four-year-old LodeStar Works on Friday unveiled its 9mm smart handgun for shareholders and investors in Boise, Idaho. And a Kansas company, SmartGunz LLC, says law enforcement agents are beta testing its product, a similar but simpler model.
Both companies hope to have a product commercially available this year.

LodeStar co-founder Gareth Glaser said he was inspired after hearing one too many stories about children shot while playing with an unattended gun. Smart guns could stop such tragedies by using technology to authenticate a user’s identity and disable the gun should anyone else try to fire it.
They could also reduce suicides, render lost or stolen guns useless, and offer safety for police officers and jail guards who fear gun grabs.
But attempts to develop smart guns have stalled: Smith & Wesson (SWBI.O) got hit with a boycott, a German company’s product was hacked, and a New Jersey law aimed at promoting smart guns has raised the wrath of defenders of the Second Amendment.
The LodeStar gun, aimed at first-time buyers, would retail for $895.
The test-firing of the LodeStar gun before Reuters cameras has not been reported elsewhere. A range officer fired the weapon, a third-generation prototype, in its different settings without issue.
Glaser acknowledged there will be additional challenges to large-scale manufacturing, but expressed confidence that after years of trial and error the technology was advanced enough and the microelectronics inside the gun are well-protected.
“We finally feel like we’re at the point where … let’s go public,” Glaser said. “We’re there.”
Most early smart gun prototypes used either fingerprint unlocking or radio frequency…
