Legal Insurrection readers have been keeping up with the news about the swarm of covid infections hitting the vaccinated and boosted among Washington DC insiders. The infected include Kamala Harris,Merrick Garland, and Nancy Pelosi.
Now the media is slowly revealing what many of us have known for some time. The vaccines aren’t as effective at preventing covid as initially advertised.
To begin with, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinal revealed that state health data indicate the vaccinated are contracting covid at about the same rates as the vaccinated. Interestingly, the disparity in health outcomes has also become less substantial.
The [Wisconsin department of Health Services] DHS found that in March, those not fully vaccinated were being diagnosed with COVID-19 at a similar rate as those who were fully vaccinated. To be exact, people not fully vaccinated were diagnosed with COVID-19 at a rate 1.1 times higher than people who were fully vaccinated. The state attributes this…
Republican Sens. Ron Johnson and Chuck Grassley want the US attorney in Delaware to divulge whether a senior Justice Department official recused himself from the federal tax fraud investigation of Hunter Biden due to his links to the first son’s lawyer.
Nicholas McQuaid, who leads the Justice Department’s criminal division, formerly worked with Hunter Biden’s lawyer Chris Clark at the large multinational law firm Latham & Watkins.
Johnson (R-Wis.) and Grassley (R-Iowa) wrote to US Attorney David Weiss, saying that Attorney General Merrick Garland ignored three letters they sent last year regarding McQuaid’s possible recusal from the Weiss-led investigation.
“Dear Mr. Weiss: On Feb. 3, 2021, March 9, 2021, and Nov. 10, 2021, we wrote letters to Attorney General Garland with respect to Nicholas McQuaid…and his conflicts of interest in the Hunter Biden criminal case,” the senators wrote.
“Reminder,” Jean-Pierre wrote in response to an article about Governor Brian Kemp’s handling of Covid-19 in the early days of the pandemic, “Brian Kemp stole the gubernatorial election from Georgians and Stacey Abrams.”In 2018, Abrams refused to concede the election despite losing. Abrams is running again, against the man who won the first time, incumbent Governor Brian Kemp. Abrams has gone on to defend her unwillingness to concede.She lost by 1.4 points. Her refusal to concede was over allegations of voter suppression. She said that a concession would be to acknowledge that “an action is right, true or proper,” and that she couldn’t do it.
Airbnb’s billionaire cofounder and CEO Brian Chesky is making his biggest philanthropic donation so far: a $100 million pledge to former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama’s charitable foundation for an initiative that links education and travel. The funds will go toward scholarships for college students pursuing careers in public service, according to an announcement from the Obama Foundation on Monday. The program, called the Voyager Scholarship, is intended to relieve students of college debt, enable them to travel and expand their horizons—and provide them with mentors.
The two-year program will provide students with up to $25,000 in financial aid for their junior and senior years of college. Recipients will also be given $10,000 and free Airbnb housing to go on a “summer voyage” where students will design their own work-travel program to “gain exposure to new communities.”
Rep. Susan Wild (D-Pa.), a graduate of GW Law, attacked Professor Jonathan Turley for defending President Donald Trump during his impeachment hearings, saying Turley had used his position for “wrongful ends.”
“You must be wary of those seeking to use their influence and their expertise to wrongful ends,” Wild told the graduates.
Turley is a nationally recognized legal scholar and frequent pundit on legal matters and holds expertise in constitutional law. But despite his classical liberal leanings, he has become a fan favorite among conservatives for calling out the excesses of the progressive left.
“GW Law, for example, has a tenured professor who is without question well versed in constitutional law but has recently made a name for himself on cable news and social…
Wyoming Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney reached a new milestone in her transition from a center-right lawmaker to a full-blown collaborator in the left’s cultural revolution within 18 months. On Monday, Cheney claimed, without evidence, members of GOP House leadership where she was expelled last May are enablers of white supremacy.
“The House GOP leadership has enabled white nationalism, white supremacy, and antisemitism,” Cheney wrote on Twitter. “History has taught us that what begins with words ends in far worse. [GOP] leaders must renounce and reject these views and those who hold them.”
The post was published Monday morning after an 18-year-old shooter allegedly killed 10 people in a Buffalo supermarket on Saturday. Moments before the killing spree, in which the majority of victims were black, the white shooter published an online “manifesto” airing antisemitic grievances in 180 pages where he also showcased anxiety over “replacement.”…
As pro-abortion and pro-life activists continue to spar over the future of Roe as a Supreme Court ruling in another abortion case approaches, the radical left and its media allies are beginning to put the screws to companies to toe the line and come out in favor of abortion.
Some large companies have done so, seemingly of their own volition. Amazon, as well as Microsoft, Airbnb, Apple, and Citigroup are just some of the businesses that have announced they will pay out-of-state travel costs for employees to get abortions if the state they live in curtails the procedure.
But to leftists, nothing but complete and utter obedience and obeisance will suffice, so they’ve moved on to pressuring companies to support their policies even…
A Michigan Court of Claims judge has granted a preliminary injunction to Planned Parenthood of Michigan that would stall the enforcement of Michigan’s 1931 abortion ban should the U.S. Supreme Court overturn the landmark 1973 Roe decision enshrining abortion as a constitutional right.
Court of Claims Judge Elizabeth Gleicher issued a preliminary victory to Planned Parenthood of Michigan that would stall the enforcement of Michigan’s 1931 abortion ban should the U.S. Supreme Court overturn the landmark 1973 Roe decision enshrining abortion as a constitutional right.
Democratic Attorney General Dana Nessel said she won’t appeal Gleicher’s order. Nessel, the named defendant in the case, said the ruling against her office is a “victory for the millions of Michigan women fighting for their rights.”
A Democratic state representative from Connecticut is criticizing her own party’s platform on abortion as “extreme,” saying pro-life Democrats like her are being shunned.
Connecticut state Rep. Trenee McGee, a Democrat who represents New Haven and West Haven and was elected last year, said on the latest episode of The Church Politics Podcast that “there are many pro-life Democrats” nationwide that have been “pushed out” by the party.
The Democratic Party platform, she said, “went from safe, legal and rare to extreme.” The party’s platforms in 1996, 2000 and 2004 said abortion should be “rare.” The 2008, 2012 and 2016 platforms removed that word yet still listed a goal to “reduce the need for abortions.” The 2020 platform did not include language about reducing abortions or making them rare.
Many people in the pro-choice movement, McGee said, have become radical.
“Right now, the pro-choice movement has taken a switch – from tweets that were once…
Katie Britt is defending her pro-life record following an attack ad by fellow U.S. Senate candidate Mike Durant.
“She let abortion pills be supplied to teenagers,” the Durant ad said, in reference to recent stories on the passage of a 2003 resolution by the student body association requesting that the Morning After pill be available at the University of Alabama’s health center while Britt was SGA president.
Britt did not veto the resolution, a fact that was drawn to light in a recent news article by 1819 News, and publicized further by Durant’s campaign.
“Alabama needs a pro-life conservative fighter in the Senate to ensure we overturn Roe v. Wade, not weak-kneed insider Katie Boyd Britt,” Scott Stone, a Durant spokesperson, said in a statement to AL.com

MEPs ask that frozen Russian billions be used to rebuild and arm Ukraine. Seventy-three MEPs have called for $300 billion in seized Russian funds and assets to fund the Ukrainian military and the country’s reconstruction in a letter sent to EU chief diplomat Josep Borrell. Read more.
U.S. natural gas prices more than doubled since the start of the year, and this summer’s air-conditioning season could send them soaring by at least another 25%.
In the futures market, gas prices rose 4% Tuesday as hot spring weather in the Southern U.S. pressured a market that has already been concerned about tight supplies. The warmer weather is forecast to continue across the region.
“In the last month, there has not been a meaningful uptick in U.S. lower 48 states production,” said Matt Palmer, senior director North American natural gas at S&P Global Commodity Insights. “You’re seeing exports running full out on LNG; power burn from the power sector is really strong and layer in the heat we’re seeing and the expectation that the southern tier of the continent in May and June will see well above normal temperatures. That’s a recipe for higher…
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has started to take affirmative steps to include non-binary classifications on agency forms. In an announcement last month, individuals will be able to choose a non-binary gender markers when filling out intake and charge of discrimination forms used by workers for discrimination complaints levied against employers. On these forms, an individual will be able choose “X” for the voluntary self-identification questions and use the prefix “Mx.”
This announcement builds on a previous announcement in which the EEOC explained that it was exploring ways to collect non-binary data from employers on an EEO-1 form. At present, employers can voluntarily submit such information using the “comment” section on their EEO-1 forms, but there is currently no requirement for employers to submit this data to federal agencies like the EEOC or DOL. Any such requirement will require a vote of the Commission.
Eight months after El Salvador became the first country to make bitcoin an official currency, its president has invited 44 other countries to discuss bitcoin’s “rollout and benefits”. The meeting will take place in Guatemala on Monday, May 17, where officials from Africa, Asia, and Latin America will discuss financial inclusion and the digital economy.
President Nayib Bukele took to Twitter to announce the conference. “Tomorrow, 32 central banks and 12 financial authorities (44 countries) will meet in El Salvador to discuss financial inclusion, digital economy, banking the unbanked, the #Bitcoin rollout and its benefits in our country”, reads his tweet.
The omicron variant of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 that has swept across the U.S. since late last year has taken a grimmer toll than earlier variants, including in people who were vaccinated and even had booster shots.
The data are based on the date of infection and limited to a sampling of cases in which vaccination status was known, the paper reported. The deaths were mostly in elderly people and people with compromised immune systems. Almost two-thirds of those people who died during omicron were aged 75 and older.
Pushing forward Chinese President Xi Jinping’s concept of a “Global Security Initiative”, an important Chinese official has said that the Indo-Pacific strategy of the United States, “if left unchecked”, would bring “horrible consequences and push the Asia-Pacific over the edge of an abyss”.
Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Le Yucheng, who is one of the top contenders to succeed Foreign Minister Wang Yi, also said, “Rather than learning the painful lessons of conflict and suffering in Europe, they seek to create a “second theatre” and bring the conflict to the Asia-Pacific.”
Beijing refers to the Indo-Pacific as Asia-Pacific, and Vice Foreign Minister Le has been one of the voices presenting the Chinese government’s view on developments in the region. Le, a former Chinese ambassador to Le spoke about a “global NATO”, and responded to concerns over China’s “no-limits” partnership with Russia, in the context of the invasion of Ukraine. Responding to a question about the US wanting to control Europe while letting the Europeans bear the losses, Le said: “There is a famous line in (the American web series) House of Cards: “Politics requires sacrifice. The sacrifice of others, of course.””
A Turkish academic and her team are working hard to create the technology of processing the solar cell, which they embroidered on fabric and successfully managed to turn led lamps on and charge a battery, into disposable bioplastics that can be dissolved in water, in a goal to charge mobile phones with wearable and organic solar cells.
Yıldız Technical University (YTÜ) Faculty of Arts and Sciences Faculty Member professor Serap Güneş, won the “Academy 2022” award within the scope of the “Turkey’s Energizing Women” awards organized by the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources, thanks to the solar energy project she developed with a team of seven people at YTÜ Organic Electronics Laboratory.
Güneş told Anadolu Agency (AA) that they set out to explore the technology after thinking whether they could both produce energy and perform daily routines with a solar panel weaved onto a shirt.
Lithuania’s parliament has designated Russia a terrorist country and its actions in Ukraine as genocide.
The Lithuanian Seimas tweeted Tuesday that its members had passed the resolution unanimously.
This makes Lithuania the first country to declare Russia a perpetrator of terrorism, according to Ukraine’s Centre for Strategic Communications and Information Security. It’s not the first to formally accuse Russia of genocide: Canadian lawmakers unanimously adopted such a motion last month.
Lithuania’s resolution says that Russia’s armed forces and mercenaries have committed war crimes in Ukraine, citing the atrocities reported in places Bucha, Irpin, Mariupol, Borodyaka, Hostomel and other cities, according to public broadcaster Lithuanian National Radio and Television (LRT).
“The Russian Federation, whose military forces deliberately and systematically target civilian targets, is a state that supports and perpetrates terrorism,” the resolution reads.
A small town in Catalonia has declared itself “liberated” from Spanish control as activists say they are beginning a new strategy of confrontation with the state to gain independence for their region.
On Saturday in Bàscara, in the northeastern region, activists set up informal checkpoints at the entrances to the town, which has a population of 1,000, to mark its supposed border with Spain. The checkpoints were manned by locals who waved the Estelada secessionist flag and handed out home-made Catalan passports to those entering the town. They also gave out an invented new currency called the “cat” to locals. One painted slogan on a wall at the entrance to the town said: “You are entering liberated territory.”
Six years ago, army chiefs and senior members of the military-backed Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) initiated a mission to smear National League for Democracy (NLD) leader Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and other NLD figures.
Their mission began after the NLD won a landslide victory in the 2015 general election. Now, following last year’s coup, the mission continues.
Ahead of the 2015 poll, military and USDP leaders deliberately inflamed religious and racial sentiments to prevent an outright NLD victory in the election. Often, the NLD was portrayed as a pro-Muslim party whose rise to power would mean the fall of…
The United States hopes India will reverse its ban on wheat exports, Washington’s top diplomat to the United Nations said Monday, warning the move would worsen global shortages of the commodity.
“We’re encouraging countries not to restrict exports because we think any restrictions on exports will exacerbate the food shortages,” Linda Thomas-Greenfield said during a ministerial gathering on food security ahead of a meeting of the UN Security Council.
The UN meeting — to be chaired by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken — will include Vellamvelly Muraleedharan, India’s minister of state for external affairs.
India holds a non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council.
“We hope that (India) can, as they hear the concerns being raised by other countries, that they would reconsider that position,” Thomas-Greenfield said.
