German Lawmakers Reject Mandatory Vaccination Bill In Latest Blow To Chancellor Scholz

Update (0900ET): In what appears to be a major blow for German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, the Bundestag has rejected a bill that would have made COVID vaccination mandatory for all Germans over the age of 60.

Scholz had managed to build broad support for the bill among members of his 'stop sign' coalition, but when it came time to vote, 378 out of 683 parliamentarians voted against the bill, while only 296 voted in favor. The failure of the vote elicited cheers from AfD lawmakers, Reuters reported. It was a free vote, with lawmakers instructed not to follow party lines.

The Chancellor pulled out all the stops for the vote, even summoning his foreign minister, Annalena Baerbock, to leave a NATO meeting in Brussels to return for the vote.

Should the bill have passed, it's pretty clear what Scholz next step would have been. The Chancellor has been pushing for mandatory vaccination for all adults.

'Urgency change' will allow more water to be stored in Lake Oroville and Shasta Lake

LaMalfa said the new order allows DWR and BOR to conserve more water, reduce Delta outflow requirements for salinity, and reduce the mandatory minimum flows in the river to save water. According to LaMalfa, there had been a TUCP in place for much of the fall. LaMalfa said BOR and the DWR allowed it to lapse in January. Congressmen LaMalfa said he and representatives McCarthy, McClintock, Valadao, and Calvert had asked for this additional flexibility to be issued in February in order to store additional water during the winter months. In a news release LaMalfa said:

"I'm happy to see the state finally taking our drought conditions more seriously. The flexibility to store additional water and reduce outflows that was issued today was needed months ago whenfresh water was needlessly being flushed out to the ocean unused. I have been pleading with the BOR and DWR for months to issue this order. Unfortunately, we won't be getting the wasted water back. Had the state acted in February when I and other members of Congress asked them to our state would have significantly more water now. I continue to be troubled that even now, the state continues to plan to use this "saved" water not to provide necessary drinking water, or feed our country through growing crops, but for making the rivers colder this fall for "fish flows". It's a drought, if not for the existence of man-made dams, there wouldn't be this cold water, or much of any water, this fall naturally. Why are we wasting the water we will store to artificially lower temperature by one degree when towns are having their water for personal consumption reduced and food isn't being grown to feed Americans? Even the President is warning of coming food shortages. We are facing a real crisis that will hit economically struggling rural and urban families the most. While I'm happy this action was finally taken, California really needs to look at priorities for the water we do have. I think that should mean water for people, and water for growing food. Unfortunately, the state still thinks it means water for their unsupported scientifically, environmental goals,"

California Dumps a Trillion Gallon of Fresh Water in Ocean – Declares Water Shortage

APRIL 14, 2017

The destruction is horrific. Businesses lost, property values lost, jobs lost, crop production lost, food cost increases, just to begin.

Facing Dry Year, CA State Water Board is Draining California Reservoirs

May 21, 2021

CA reservoirs were designed to provide a steady five year supply for all users, and were filled to the top in June 2019

“In the last 14 days, 90% of Delta inflow went to sea. It’s equal to a year’s supply of water for 1 million people.

#ManMadeDrought,” Central Valley farmer Kristi Diener said.

Diener, a California water expert and farmer, has been warning steadily that water is unnecessarily being let out to sea as the state faces a normal dry year.

“Are we having a dry year? Yes,” Diener says. “That is normal for us. Should we be having water shortages in the start of our second dry year? No. Our reservoirs were designed to provide a steady five year supply for all users, and were filled to the top in June 2019.”

Don’t believe her?“You’re looking at our largest reservoirs less than two years ago. They were absolutely teeming with water from 107% to 145% of average!” Diener says. “Our reservoirs held enough water for everyone who relies on them for their water supply, for 7 years. We are barely into our second dry year. WHERE DID IT GO?”

“Where did it go” indeed. According to the California Legislative Analyst’s Office, statewide water use averages 85 gallons per person per day. But it’s always urban/residential water users ordered to conserve water: let lawns turn brown and landscaping die, limit showers and baths, wash clothing and dishes less frequently, and other absurd “helpful tips.”

Diener also asks, “How can this year be the driest year on record when it has more than 7 months left? That’s just fake news and crisis creation.”

President Trump’s Motion to Disqualify Clinton-Appointed Judge in Case Against Hillary Clinton Is Denied by Same Clinton-Appointed Judge

Somehow this case was assigned to Clinton appointed Judge Middlebrooks and Judge Ryon McCabe.

President Trump urged the courts to replace the Clinton judge with someone who is not biased in the case.

On Wednesday Judge Ryon McCabe recused himself from the case.

But Judge Middlebrooks will not recuse himself from the case.

Last night Judge Donald Middlebrooks announced he will deny President Trump’s motion to approve Judge Middlebrooks from the case.

Whitmer moves to protect Michigan's abortion rights ahead of Supreme Court decision that could upend Roe v. Wade

Anticipating that the U.S. Supreme Court may overturn or weaken the landmark Roe v. Wade case protecting abortion rights, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer is suing county prosecutors in her state in a bid to protect legal abortion.

The move comes as Democratic governors across the nation brace for decisions about abortion access to be left to states for the first time in more than 50 years, a potentially critical issue that is likely to resonate in the midterm elections.

Whitmer is preemptively suing 13 elected county prosecutors in Michigan who have an abortion clinic within their jurisdiction, a move intended to circumvent a 1931 Michigan abortion law that would ban abortion even in cases of rape or incest. The law, which is still on the books, is currently not in effect because the federal 1973 ruling in Roe v. Wade supersedes state law and protects women's abortion rights. But if Roe v. Wade is overturned, it would automatically be triggered.

This comes as the U.S. Supreme Court is set to make a ruling by the end of June in the case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, which considers the constitutionality of Mississippi's 15-week abortion ban. If the high court, which now has a 6-3 conservative majority, were to weaken or strike down Roe this session, it is likely that the Mississippi case would be the vehicle.

Second COVID booster shot extends protection for just a few weeks, study shows

A fourth shot of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine increased protection against viral infection for only four to seven weeks, according to a massive study published Tuesday.

The study included 1.25 million people age 60 and over in Israel who received their fourth dose between January and March. Israel uses only the Pfizer vaccine.

People who got the fourth dose were half as likely to test positive for COVID-19 four weeks later when compared to people who only had three doses, according to the study.

But by the eighth week, the groups were almost equally likely to catch COVID-19, researchers found.

The fourth shot was the subject of much debate before U.S. regulators approved it last week for people age 50 and older. The second booster had already been approved for immunocompromised people. President Joe Biden, 79, got his on March 30.

While increased protection against infection was short-lived, the fourth booster continued to protect against severe illness for at least six weeks, the study found. The research period actually ended before the protection did, leading researchers to suggest future studies.

The study compared only people with the fourth dose to people with a third dose. Previous research had suggested that the third dose provided a significant bump in infection protection over zero, one or two doses.

Only about 30% of the U.S. population, 98 million people, has received a third dose, according to Centers for Disease Control data.

“For confirmed infection, a fourth dose appeared to provide only short-term protection and a modest absolute benefit,” the study’s authors wrote.

“Overall, these analyses provided evidence for the effectiveness of a fourth vaccine dose against severe illness caused by the omicron variant, as compared with a third dose administered more than 4 months earlier.”
