Residents Sue Own State for Giving ‘Non-whites’ COVID-Help Priority

Two lifelong New Yorkers have filed a lawsuit against the city and state over the decision by officials to give priority to anyone who is “non-white” for proven treatments against the COVID-19 virus.

Officials with the Pacific Legal Foundation said the case was filed in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York.

It is being pursued on behalf of Jonathan Roberts and Charles Vavrusky, and names as defendants Mary Bassett, as commissioner for New York’s state Health Department, and the city’s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

Explained the foundation: “Two recently authorized oral antiviral treatments are up to 88% effective in reducing the risk of hospitalization and death from COVID-19. One available monoclonal antibody treatment is effective against the Omicron variant of COVID-19. Faced with severe supply constraints for these treatments, the state and city health departments directed health care providers to prioritize patients after considering a host of risk factors, including age, vaccination status, and health conditions like cancer, diabetes, and a compromised immune system.”

But it said officials, “rather than limiting the criteria for administering medical treatment to scientific data concerning risk,” they added “a patient’s race as an additional consideration, granting priority status for individuals of ‘non-white race or Hispanic/Latino ethnicity.'” (Read more from “Residents Sue Own State for Giving ‘Non-whites’ COVID-Help Priority” HERE)

Secret Testimony: Ex-girlfriend Tells Hunter Biden Grand Jury About Lavish Spending

The grand jury considering evidence in the Hunter Biden tax probe heard nearly five hours of secret testimony from an ex-girlfriend who’s furious she got dumped after urging him to get off drugs, The Post has learned.

Zoe Kestan, 28, appeared before the panel in Wilmington, Del., on Tuesday, a source familiar with her testimony said.

Her turn on the witness stand came immediately after an appearance by the former stripper with whom Biden, 52, has an out-of-wedlock child, the source said.

Kestan — a lingerie and textile designer who uses the online handle “weed slut 420” — was asked about Biden’s whereabouts and spending habits during 2018, when they were seen attending art-show openings and parties on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, the source said.

Specific questions included what hotels Biden stayed at and whether Kestan knew where his money came from, the source said. (Read more from “Secret Testimony: Ex-girlfriend Tells Hunter Biden Grand Jury About Lavish Spending” HERE)

Joe Biden Allows Vladimir Putin to Send More Russian Troops Into Ukraine Without Triggering Sanctions

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s decision to send more troops into Ukraine would not trigger the sanctions prepared by the United States and European allies, the White House said Monday.

A White House official explained President Joe Biden’s position during a conference call with reporters Monday.

Biden officials reacted anonymously to Putin’s decision to send Russian troops into Ukraine’s Donestsk and Luhansk regions for “peacekeeping” after the two territories declared independence from Ukraine.

“Russian troops moving into Donbas would not itself be a new step,” the official noted during the call. “Russia has had forces in the Donbas region for the past eight years.”

Putin’s political play puts Biden and his administration in a difficult spot, as they have repeatedly said that large numbers of troops crossing the Ukrainian border would be considered an invasion.

As Putin Invades, State Department Evacuates Ukraine

After recently moving staff and diplomats from the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv to the Ukrainian city of Lviv, Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced late Monday night personnel is evacuating to Poland. The statement comes just hours after Russia President Vladimir Putin invaded the country from the east.

“Today the Department of State is again taking action for the safety and security of U.S. citizens, including our personnel. For security reasons, Department of State personnel currently in Lviv will spend the night in Poland. Our personnel will regularly return to continue their diplomatic work in Ukraine and provide emergency consular services. They will continue to support the Ukrainian people and the Ukrainian government, coordinating on diplomatic efforts,” Blinken released in a statement. “The United States’ commitment to Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity in the face of Russia’s aggression is unwavering. The fact that we are taking prudent precautions for the sake of the safety of U.S. government personnel and U.S. citizens, as we do regularly worldwide, in no way undermines our support for, or our commitment to, Ukraine. Our commitment to Ukraine transcends any one location.”

The New York Times Makes a Stunning Admission About CDC Data on Vaccines

The New York Times made an eye-popping admission on Sunday regarding data collected by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) on Covid-19 vaccines.

In an article titled, “The C.D.C. Isn’t Publishing Large Portions of the Covid Data It Collects,” reporter Apoorva Mandavilli writes: “For more than a year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has collected data on hospitalizations for Covid-19 in the United States and broken it down by age, race and vaccination status. But it has not made most of the information public.”

Mandavilli, who covers science and global health for the Times, reported that the agency has published “only a tiny fraction of the data it has collected” since the pandemic began, including data on booster efficacy for 18 – 49 year-olds, a tremendous chunk of the U.S. population.

Reasons listed include bureaucracy, sample size, and not being “ready for prime time,” but one that’s definitely set to raise lots of eyebrows is the claim that the data could be “misinterpreted” by Covid vaccine skeptics.

From Bad to Worse: Biden Admin Claims Inflation Going to Make an Even Bigger Dent in Your Wallet

Vice President Kamala Harris warned that Americans could feel some “costs” of a Russian invasion of Ukraine, unwelcome news to many who are already bearing the costs of soaring inflation.

“When America stands for principles, and all of the things that we hold dear, it requires sometimes for us to put ourselves out there in a way that maybe we will incur some cost,” Harris said Sunday after a meeting with NATO leaders in Germany.

Harris said some of the costs to hit American pocket books “may relate to energy cost,” with Russia being one of the world’s leading producers of oil.

The vice president’s comments come as Americans have already seen prices on common good rise thanks to a four-decade high in inflation, according to the consumer price index. Those price increases have been spread across almost all common goods, including medical care, clothing, transportation, food, and shelter.

Democratic ‘Dark Money’ Network Flexes Muscles as Biden Weighs Supreme Court Pick

President Biden’s imminent announcement of his first Supreme Court nominee will cap off a White House decision-making process that has been supported — and pressured — by a secretive network of liberal “dark money” advocacy groups and anonymous donors who seek appointments of far-left judges.

Demand Justice, the liberal group that pressed Mr. Biden to add seats to the Supreme Court in a failed bid to change its ideological balance, is a well-funded powerhouse in Washington, advocating for judicial nominees whom conservatives view as extremists.

Dark money in campaign finance parlance refers to political spending by nonprofits, unions and trade associations that are not legally required to disclose their individual donors.

Demand Justice is tied to the shadowy Sixteen Thirty Fund, the leader in Democratic dark money that spent about $410 million in 2020 to defeat President Trump and help Democrats win control of the Senate. Its donors include billionaires George Soros and French-born eBay founder Pierre Omidyar. One anonymous donor alone contributed more than $51.7 million in 2018, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

Conservatives are targeting a liberal consulting firm, Arabella Advisors, as the billion-dollar force behind the Democratic dark money network, which overtook the Republican Party in the amount of undisclosed political spending in 2020.

Biden Agrees to Meeting With Putin, as Long as There’s No Invasion

President Joe Biden has agreed to a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin as long as Russia does not invade Ukraine, the White House announced on Sunday night.

The two presidents will meet following a meeting between Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, which is set for later this week in Europe.

“Russia appears to be continuing preparations for a full-scale assault on Ukraine very soon,” White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said in a statement.

She noted that the administration is “committed to pursuing diplomacy until the moment an invasion begins,” while they “are also ready to impose swift and severe consequences should Russia instead choose war.”

“We have reason to believe the Russian forces are planning to attack Ukraine in the coming week — the coming days. We believe that they will target Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv,” Biden said Friday from the White House’s Roosevelt Room.
