China’s “Breathtaking” Nuclear Expansion Confirmed – Beijing Officials Cite Fear Of US-Led Regime Change

The Chinese government has greatly “accelerated” its nuclear weapons program due to a revised threat assessment of risk posed by the United States, according to a new in-depth Wall Street Journal report that cites both Chinese and US officials. It follows a Pentagon assessment from last year which laid out Beijing’s drive to “modernize, diversify and expand” its nuclear arsenal.

The fresh WSJ investigative report appears to confirm the prior US military assessment that China seeks to expand “land, sea and air-based nuclear delivery platforms” while establishing the more necessary infrastructure to support it.

While its nuclear goals predate Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the war which kicked off on Feb.24 is believed to have given greater impetus to the belief China needs a stronger deterrent arsenal. Specifically, the report underscores that “Chinese leaders see a stronger nuclear arsenal as a way to deter the U.S. from getting directly involved in a potential conflict over Taiwan.”

Satellite imagery cited in the report additionally appears to confirm accelerating work on over 100 suspected new missile silos in remote desert regions of Western China. While some of this has been the subject of much Western reporting and speculation over the past number of months, based also on open source satellite analysis, the weekend WSJ report has some bombshell and alarming lines such as the following, which says the Chinese Communist government leadership fears covert Washington regime change efforts down the road:

The people close to the Chinese leadership said China’s increased focus on nuclear weapons is also driven by fears Washington might seek to topple Beijing’s Communist government following a more hawkish turn in U.S. policy toward China under the Trump and Biden administrations.

American military officials and security analysts are concerned China’s nuclear acceleration could mean it would be willing to make a surprise nuclear strike. The people close to the Chinese leadership said Beijing is committed to not using nuclear weapons first.

However, while China does have an official ‘no first use’ nuclear policy doctrine, the United States does not and has even been long resistant to it over years of activist lobbying of both Democrat and Republican administrations.

The precise numbers of China’s nuclear warheads are not known, but it’s generally understood to be far behind that of the United States, likely by a magnitude of multiple thousands. One official cited in the report, described as “close to the leadership” in Beijing, said: “China’s inferior nuclear capability could only lead to growing US pressure on China.”

And further, on the way the Ukraine crisis has impacted China’s thinking – remembering too that Washington has of late piled on the pressure warning Beijing to cease any and all support to Moscow – the WSJ describes the following:

Nervous international reaction to Russian leader Vladimir Putin’s call for his nuclear forces to be put on alert following his invasion of Ukraine has offered Chinese officials a real-world lesson about the strategic value of nuclear weapons. So did Ukraine’s decision in 1994 to turn over the nuclear weapons left in the country after the breakup of the Soviet Union in return for security assurances from the U.S. and Russia.

Watching the tense situation continue to unfold, one former Chinese military officer was cited in the report as saying, “Ukraine lost its nuclear deterrence in the past and that’s why it got into a situation like this” – again which has only served to reinforce China’s worries over its nuclear preparedness.

Last week the head of U.S. Strategic Command, Adm. Charles Richard, warned US lawmakers over the “breathtaking expansion of strategic and nuclear capabilities” which he said translates to the PLA military being able to “execute any possible nuclear employment strategy.”

Democrats in DC and California Are Single-Handedly Making the Supply Chain Crisis Worse

0

Americans and American companies are dealing with supply chain issues.  They can’t get the parts or supplies needed to perform their jobs.   This is due in large part to insane Democrat policies at the federal and state levels. 

Manufacturers, builders, restaurants, and virtually every industry are facing supply chain issues. 

We first reported on supply chain issues and ships sitting offshore in California last fall.  Ships were sitting offshore and products were delayed throughout the country.

What’s Going On? The Number of Container Ships Drifting Off Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach at All-Time High

TRENDING: HUGE: Engelbrecht and Phillips on Charlie Kirk Show on 2020 Fraud and “2000 Mules” — NRSC Was Given Evidence of Fraud but Did Nothing (VIDEO)

The Los Angeles and Long Beach ports were moving at a snail’s pace while the demand for products was at near all-time highs as COVID lockdowns were ending.  Record numbers of container ships were sitting offshore and not getting unloaded.  What was going on?

Biden and his Secretary of Transportation, ‘Mayor Pete’ Buttigieg, were lost and nowhere to be found. Finally Biden announced that LA and Long Beach ports would remain open 24/7 but nobody listened and nothing changed.  It’s been more than half a year and nothing is getting done.  Now it looks like it is going to get worse.

Like the insane man-made COVID lockdowns that caused havoc across the world economy, the supply chain crisis is also man-made.  

The Daily Caller this weekend reported on new California laws that will make the situation even worse.

California issued sweeping environmental regulations to reduce fossil fuel emissions throughout the state that will worsen the national supply chain crisis and cripple the trucking industry, industry leaders told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) issued a set of revised regulations called the Air Resources Board Truck and Bus Regulation, which required trucking companies in the state to upgrade their trucks with 2010 or newer engines by Jan. 1, 2023. The provision will add additional pressure to the supply chain crisis and cause many small trucking businesses to close or significantly reduce their workforce, industry leaders told the DCNF.

“We in the industry know that if you think there was a supply chain problem over the last year, wait until you take this many trucks out of the marketplace that are not replaceable,” Joe Rajkovacz, director of governmental affairs and communications at the Western States Trucking Association, told the DCNF. “You can be talking about something we as a country have never seen before.”

The rule will take roughly 80,000 commercial trucks, or roughly 17% of the trucking fleet, off the road, adding significant pressure to the supply chain crisis, Rajkovacz said.

The provision would hit smaller trucking operations the hardest, Rajkovacz added. Like the auto industry, the trucking industry has experienced extensive supply shortages, making it expensive and difficult to buy used trucks and find additional parts.

“The way the industry works is that large operators turn over their fleets in a three-year or four-year cycle,” Rajkovacz said. “The used trucks end up in the marketplace and are absorbed by the small business community, but that is all upset right now.”

Biden can’t make it to the bathroom by himself, let alone address the supply chain issue.  Biden’s Secretary of State, ‘Mayor Pete’ has no business overseeing Transportation.  (There weren’t many cargo ships getting unloaded in South Bend, Indiana.)  And now, Democrat policies in Washington DC and California are putting more stress on the supply chain crisis.

Whether it be killing US energy independence or destroying supply chain logistics, Biden and other crooked politicians have no shame in destroying this great country. 

MUST SEE: Engelbrecht and Phillips on the Charlie Kirk Show on 2020 Fraud and “2000 Mules” – Cross-State Ballot Traffickers ID’ed – Brian Kemp Implicated – 1155 Ballot Traffickers in PA (VIDEO)

0

Ballot trafficker caught on video dumping a stack of ballots into a Georgia ballot box as regular citizens line up to vote in 2020 election.

True the Vote’s Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips joined Turning Point USA founder and executive director Charlie Kirk for an interview last Thursday. Engelbrecht and Phillips discussed their extremely high-tech probe into an “organized crime” ballot trafficking operation they say most definitely helped swing the 2020 election away from now-former President Donald Trump.

True the Vote released several never before seen video clips of ballot traffickers in Georgia during the interview.

During their explosive interview with Charlie Kirk Catherine and Gregg dropped several bombs, including:

TRENDING: HUGE: Engelbrecht and Phillips on Charlie Kirk Show on 2020 Fraud and “2000 Mules” — NRSC Was Given Evidence of Fraud but Did Nothing (VIDEO)

** The NRSC was given evidence of voter fraud and did nothing.
** Brian Kemp led a fight against True the Vote to get to the truth.
** The FBI and DOJ used cellphone ‘ping’ data to identify, locate and arrest January 6 protesters but DID NOT use this same technique to identify ballot traffickers in 2020
** Ballot traffickers were operating in Georgia in the 2018 election — including a number of the same suspects!
** The ballot traffickers, or mules were making from $10 to $40 per ballot dumped into the ballot boxes.
** Pennsylvania was the worst state they saw with 1,155 ballot traffickers identified and 5 central gathering locations
** Ballot traffickers crossed state lines including from New Jersey to Philadelphia

Liberty Overwatch took several notes from the hour-long interview.

The drop box stuffing activity followed a consistent pattern, Gregg explained. Every operation involved “a set of collectors, a collection point or stash house for all the ballots, the bundling of those ballots, and then the casting of those ballots by, what we were calling, ‘mules’ in the drop boxes.”

“And as we began put the pieces and parts together, it really did dawn on us: ‘Well, this sounds like what’s happening in Atlanta or in San Luis, Arizona’… This was a conspiracy. This was organized crime,” he emphasized.

Catherine describes the “fateful moment” when she turned to Gregg and asked, “How do we take down a cartel?”

“That’s when we began to use the terms like stash houses, and drop points, and mules, and trafficking, and voter abuse because that’s what we’re looking at,” she continued.

Focusing on six states, Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Texas, True the Vote spent $2 million to buy publicly available cell phone data that can pinpoint an individual’s location to within a few inches. They then narrowed their search to targets who began visiting drop boxes and NGO offices during the early voting weeks leading up to November 3rd, activity that was contrary to their prior “pattern of life.” In Georgia, the threshold was at least two dozen trips to drop boxes and five visits to a non-profit.

Catherine described their filtering logic, they wanted parameters that were “outside the norm, so aberrant that it would just stick out like a sore thumb in terms of a dataset… We wanted to have such clear margins, such clear lines that we finally settled on groups that were going [to the drop boxes] in Georgia an average of 23 times — so distinctive. And, as Gregg points out, they also had to go to the NGOs — so they had to meet both those criteria a certain number of times for us to really drill down and study.”

Through open records requests, True the Vote acquired and drop box surveillance video (when available), which helped them confirm the trafficking activity. They also evaluated chain of custody documents to identify what a typical day looked like at a given drop box. Those records showed normal ballot drop data punctuated by “spikes” in ballot receipts. This information helped them home in on specific dates and times buried in their 4 million minutes of footage.

“This is how money laundering works,” Charlie observed. “This is not just a one-off thing, this is not some Democrat activist that really wanted Trump gone and might have had a couple friends do this. This was a machine.”

“Which state was the worst offender?,” asked Charlie. “Pennsylvania,” Gregg stated unequivocally. “The worst in every way: 1,155 people met our criteria… in Philadelphia.”

“What’s even more insane,” Catherine said, “is watching the data, watching the pings come across the bridge in New Jersey and into Philly.” The traffickers actually crossed state lines to participate in the fraud. And it wasn’t just in Philadelphia. Two mules in Arizona made their way to Georgia for the runoffs. And a bartender in South Carolina came in to “help out” in Atlanta, Gregg added.

Even more disturbing, the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSA) knew about the systematic ballot stuffing and did nothing. “We learned that there were off-duty law enforcement officers, paid for by the Republican Party, that reported all of this. And [the NRSA] just covered it up,” Gregg said.

Here is part II and part III of the interview from Liberty Watch.

Insider Look at Ukrainian workshop where they are working on some of the Captured Russian Vehicles

Get an interesting inside look inside a Ukrainian workshop where they are working on some of the Captured Russian Vehicles. Ukrainian mechanics servicing and repairing vehicles to send them back out to fight.

As of 3/26 Estimates put the number of captured Russian armored vehicles at approx 370 Russian armored vehicles, including 122 tanks, according to the Oryx monitoring site, which only lists equipment losses for which photo or videographic evidence is available. That’s a pretty bad look for the Russian Military. Having your own mech used against you is even worse.

Developing: Elon Musk Turns Down Seat on Twitter’s Board, Move Will Allow Him to Buy More Stock in Company

0

A day after purchasing a 9.2% passive stake in Twitter, Tesla CEO and SpaceX founder Elon Musk has been designated as one of Twitter’s Board of Directors in a deal that would prohibit him from owning more than 14.9% of the media giant’s common stock.

On Monday, it was revealed that Elon Musk becomes Twitter’s biggest shareholder after purchasing $2.89 billion worth of stock, according to a regulatory filing revealed on Monday by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

According to the SEC filing, Musk now holds a 9.2% passive stake in the social media giant. He owns 73,486,938 shares of common stock out of 800,641,166 Twitter shares. That means, Musk now owns nearly 10% of Twitter.

Twitter Chief Executive Officer, Parag Agrawal, announced on Tuesday that they will appoint Elon Musk to their Board of Directors serving as a Class II Director saying “he would bring great value to our Board.”

TRENDING: HUGE: Engelbrecht and Phillips on Charlie Kirk Show on 2020 Fraud and “2000 Mules” — NRSC Was Given Evidence of Fraud but Did Nothing (VIDEO)

“I’m excited to share that we’re appointing @elonmusk to our board! Through conversations with Elon in recent weeks, it became clear to us that he would bring great value to our Board,” said Agrawal in a tweet.

Elon Musk immediately responded and promised to make ‘significant improvements to the biased social media platform in the coming months

On Sunday Elon Musk declined a seat on the Board of Directors.

NBC News reported:

Billionaire Elon Musk has decided not to join the board of one of social media’s titans, Twitter, the San Francisco-based company’s CEO, Parag Agrawal, said Sunday night.

The announcement came as a surprise after Musk, the CEO of Tesla, said he would be joining the board following his stock purchase of about 9.2 percent of the company.

On Sunday Agrawal tweeted, “Elon has decided not to join our board.”

SHOCKING RESULTS: University Study Reveals Google’s Gmail System in 2020 Election Had Anti-Conservative Bias that Got Worse as Election Approached

A study performed by the Department of Computer Science at North Carolina State University revealed that Google had a material liberal-leaning bias in the 2020 Election.   The day after the 2016 Presidential election the leadership team at Google was caught crying at a company-wide meeting with one exec saying “We lost.” The Gateway Pundit previously reported after the 2016 election on Breitbart.com’s video showing Google execs crying like children after Hillary Clinton lost to Donald Trump at a company meeting. We know that Big Tech is liberal-leaning and biased.  This is not a surprise to anyone. The Gateway Pundit reported earlier on how Big Tech announced before the 2020 Election that it would make changes on election day in the 2020 presidential election and not allow a candidate to claim that he [Trump] won the election on that day or afterwards.
Now a study performed by the Department of Computer Science at North Carolina State University shows evidence of Google’s liberal bias.  The study reports that Gmail “retained the majority of left-wing candidate emails in inbox while sent the majority of right-wing candidate emails to the spam folder.”  And, this got worse as the election approached.
This is not surprising in this day of Big Tech and Big Media fascism where conservatives are constantly censored and their free speech rights destroyed and ignored by Big Tech.  It is long past due that these entities be held accountable for their damage to the country and to people’s individual rights.  This is just one more example of their unconstitutional actions.

New: Fix It Sticks Compact Ratcheting Multi-Tool

There’s nothing worse than needing to tighten, remove, or replace an important screw in the field without having the proper tool — it’s a recipe for instant frustration. Although it may not be practical to carry around a fully-stocked tool bag at all times, a small pocket tool can cover many of the most common screw types. Many multi-tools (like the classic Leatherman) include basic Phillips and flat screwdrivers, and a few include replaceable bit drivers (like the Gerber Center Drive). Fix It Sticks took the pocket tool concept one step further with its Compact Ratcheting Multi-Tool.

As the name indicates, this multi-tool includes a reversible ratcheting mechanism, which is especially helpful if you’ll be using it frequently. A fixed bit driver can feel tedious if you’re dealing with long screws, but a ratchet is much faster.

The Ratcheting T-Way Wrench breaks down into two pieces, which can be stowed in the molded polymer bracket along with a Mini Pry Bar attachment and 15 other 1/4-inch bits. The main ratcheting socket features a spring-loaded magnetic collar to hold bits or the extension in place; both ends of the handle feature additional magnetic sockets.

Any standard 1/4-inch bit can be used with the Compact Ratcheting Multi-Tool, but here’s a list of the bits that are included:
  • Hex: 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 5/64, 5/32, 3/32
  • Torx: T6, T8, T10, T15, T20, T25
  • Slotted: 5mm
  • Phillips: #1, #2
MSRP for the Fix It Sticks Compact Ratcheting Multi-Tool is $80. For more information, go to FixItSticks.com.

How to Survive a Nuclear War: 10 Ways to Stay Alive

While a nuclear war would be catastrophic, it is not an unstoppable force. Read on to learn how to survive a nuclear war!

How to Survive a Nuclear War

post-apocalyptic world. A man surviving a nuclear apocalypse. Nuclear war is a terrifying prospect. The thought of nuclear explosions going off all around us is enough to make most people’s hair stand on end. Even so, you can do things to prepare for the worst-case scenario.

10 Steps to Survive a Nuclear War

Step One: Have a Nuclear War Survival Plan

Man wearing a gas mask on his face and holding a city map | Step One: Have a Nuclear War Survival Plan The first thing to do to ensure your nuclear war survival is to have a plan. These are all critical questions you need to answer:
  • What will you do if an attack happens?
  • Where will you go?
  • Who will you contact?
If you don’t have a plan, then the stress of the situation could lead to chaos and disaster.

Step Two: Build a Survival Kit

Items for emergency on wooden table | Step Two: Build a Survival Kit It is not possible to walk away from a nuclear war. So if an attack happens, you will need to be well-prepared for the aftermath. Have a survival kit ready to go. Your survival kit should include everything you might need to survive. A nuclear war survival kit includes food, water, medical supplies, and shelter.

Step Three: Stay Informed

Stay informed about the latest news and developments on nuclear war. So, you can prepare for anything that might happen.
Make sure to have a radio or TV to stay up-to-date on the latest news. 

Step Four: Get Prepared

Clothes, canned food, money and documents are in a suitcase | Step Four: Get Prepared One of the most important things you can do to prepare for a nuclear war is to prepare financially. Have a stash of cash on hand if there is a bank holiday or other financial emergency. Have a Stockpile. Have a stockpile of food and water. 

Step Five: Build a Fallout Shelter

Ark Two Underground Nuclear Shelter | Step Five: Build a Fallout Shelter If an attack happens, you will need to take shelter from the radioactive fallout. So have a fallout shelter ready to go. A fallout shelter can be as simple as a trench in your backyard or as elaborate as an underground bunker. The important thing is that it protects from the radioactive particles flying through the air after a nuclear explosion. Ideally, your shelter should still be underground.  Basement, garage, or subway tunnel, as far below the surface as possible, with thick walls and ceilings. But unfortunately, even these are unlikely to survive a direct hit. You can use the Nukemap application to determine a safe location. The app simulates a nuclear denotation in any specified world area and shows the fallout area. The fallout forms the main risk for those “lucky” enough to be outside the fateful lethal areas. At ground level, the radioactive fallout will spread incredibly fast, which means speed is of the essence. A thick-walled building makes for a suitable alternative to basements if need be. Of course, you still want to avoid windows at all costs. It would help if you were in the building’s center, reasonably high up but not too close to the roof.  And never, ever take refuge in a car – vehicle structures offer zero protection.

Step Six: Learn how to Survive in a Nuclear Wasteland

Learn how to find food and water, protect yourself from the elements, and stay safe from dangers in a nuclear wasteland.

Step Seven: Stay Calm

If you panic, you will be more likely to make mistakes that could cost you your life. Take a deep breath and stay focused. You will need all of your wits about you to survive.

Step Eight: Have a Nuclear War Survival Backup Plan

Survivor soldier in gas mask and with russian assault rifle | Step Eight: Have a Nuclear War Survival Backup Plan No matter how well you plan, there is always the possibility that something will go wrong. That’s why it is essential to have a backup plan. If your primary goal fails, you will be able to fall back on your backup plan. If things get too dangerous, a nuclear war survival backup plan could be anything from a second survival kit to a safe place to go.

Step Nine: Connect with Others

Nuclear post-apocalypse survivors | How to Survive a Nuclear War | Nuclear War Survival Skills In times of danger, it is essential to connect with others. Connecting with others can help provide emotional support and increase the chances of survival. Join or create a local disaster preparedness group and connect with others preparing for the worst.

Step Ten: Don’t give up

The final step to nuclear war survival is never to give up. No matter how bad things get, keep fighting. Remember, you are not alone in this. There are others out there who are fighting as hard as you are. So never give up and never give in.

How to Survive a Nuclear War Without a Bomb Shelter: Tips and Tricks

“We the People Will Not Comply!” – Thousands Join “Defeat The Mandates” Rally Against Covid-19 Mandates in LA on Sunday

A massive national “Defeat The Mandates” rally took place this weekend in Los Angeles, California. Truckers from around the country converged with the masses for a six-hour event at Grand Park in Los Angeles, California. Firefighters, law enforcement, federal workers, labor, artists, school teachers, doctors, nurses, celebrities, musicians, and thousands of California residents raised their voices this weekend with the message: We the People Will Not Comply! As TGP’s Cara Castronuova reported on Friday, frustration from Los Angeles residents and parents has reached a boiling point as Los Angeles Unified School District continues to enforce the indoor mask-wearing mandate at campuses with no end date despite being lifted at most other schools statewide. This frustration is reflected across the United States as the nation still reels from the unprecedented Covid restrictions and vaccine mandates that rocked the world over the past year and a half. “It is far from over,” said Tina Ryan of Citizens Against Political Persecution. “The Covid narrative and the vaccine hysteria is only on pause until after the coming November elections. DO NOT BE FOOLED. Elected officials, namely Democrats, have realized they pissed off the voters to the point that they can lose their jobs.  The sneaky traitors are now reeling back their hideous mandates. Anyone with street smarts knows they will attempt to resume these mandates/lockdowns if their positions are re-secured in November elections. We must vote these monsters out and never forget what they put through as a nation. They think if they give us a few months we will forget, but we will not forget,” she added. As California Governor Gavin Newsom’s incredible unpopularity with his constituents forced him to ease up on mask restrictions for the time being, eight highly controversial, draconian bills are being pushed in the State House by Democratic legislators. They include:
  • SB 871 – would require all children 0-17 to get the COVID -19 vaccine to attend childcare or school potentially without FDA approval. That bill also takes away any personal or religious belief exemptions,
  • SB 866 – would allow kids 12-17 to get the COVID-19 vaccine without parental consent,
  • SB 1464 – would force law enforcement officials to enforce public health orders,
  • AB 2098 – would reclassify the sharing of COVID-19 “misinformation” by doctors and surgeons as unprofessional conduct that would result in disciplinary actions; and
  • AB 1993 – would require all CA employers to require the COVID-19 Vaccine to work in the state, including independent contractors. And big penalties for companies who do not enforce it.
“One-party rule in action,” said Ryan. “This is what happens when you have one party running the four branches of government. The fourth branch is the Fake News Media. It amounts to complete and utter tyranny and crimes against humanity.” The objective of the rally is to end all Covid-19 mandates.
  • No to Vaccine Mandates
  • No to Vaccine Passports
  • No to Forcing Covid-19 Vaccination on Children
  • No to Censorship
  • Yes, to Informed Consent
  • Yes, to Natural Immunity
  • Yes, to doctors and patients making decisions without interference
The crowds were chanting, “We the People Will Not Comply!” Newsmax reported:

Thousands of people including truckers and firefighters from across the country gathered Sunday outside Los Angeles City Hall to protest vaccination mandates designed to slow the spread of COVID-19.

The crowd gathered at Grand Park to hear speakers and performers, while big-rig trucks from the “People’s Convoy” were parked on nearby streets. Members of the convoy jammed traffic during a Washington, D.C., protest earlier this year.

The peaceful crowd gathered to hear speakers and singers and was similar to a rally held at the same spot last year and to others staged around the country.

Paul Schweit, 31, a New York firefighter and founder of the group Bravest for Choice, flew out with some teachers, transit operators, and others to support local public workers, he said.

Schweit said he has been on unpaid leave for five months for failing to comply with New York’s vaccine requirement for public employees. He believes he had COVID-19 but recovered.

“The people that held out this long believe that this is not about a shot. It’s about the freedom to make the choice for yourself for your own bodily autonomy,” Schweit said. “We are 100% not anti-vaccine. We support the individual. We believe the threat to the individual is a threat to all freedoms of the people.”

Los Angeles County and the city require their workers, including firefighters and police and sheriff’s deputies, to be fully vaccinated or to have medical or religious exemptions. Relatively few have faced disciplinary action.

As of last month, about two dozen employees, including a dozen fire department workers and several police officers, had been fired for violating vaccine mandate rules. The city has successfully fought anti-mandate lawsuits filed on behalf of firefighters and police department workers.

Covid-19 Outbreak Hits DC Elites: 72 High-Profile Personalities Test Positive After Attending Gridiron Super-Spreader Dinner

A Covid-19 outbreak hits D.C. elites after 72 high-profile personalities, including members of the Biden administration and reporters, tested positive for Covid-19 after attending the Gridiron Dinner in Washington D.C. last weekend. DeFrank said Saturday that 68 attendees tested positive for Covid-19. The Covid-19 cases increased to 72 after five new cases were reported today, according to the latest update by Gridiron Club President Tom DeFrank. New York City Mayor Eric Adams was one of those who attended the Gridiron Club dinner in D.C. last Saturday. According to Adams’ spox, the Mayor canceled all public events for the week. More from NBC:

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, who has been fully vaccinated and boosted, tested positive Friday and is experiencing mild symptoms, his office said in a statement Saturday, adding to a new wave of cases that has swept through the nation’s capital.

Two other members of President Joe Biden’s Cabinet, Attorney General Merrick Garland and Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, tested positive last week after they attended the annual social gathering of high-profile political media and business figures.

Garland attended a news conference with FBI Director Christopher Wray before he tested positive later Wednesday. The Justice Department said it was conducting contact tracing in accordance with protocols set by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Some lawmakers also tested positive after they attended the white-tie event, including Reps. Joaquin Castro, D-Texas, and Adam Schiff, D-Calif., the chairman of the Intelligence Committee.

So did Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, who announced her positive test Thursday after she voted to confirm Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to become the first Black woman on the Supreme Court.

Vice President Kamala Harris’ communications director, Jamal Simmons; first lady Jill Biden’s press secretary, Michael LaRosa; and Valerie Biden Owens, the president’s sister, were also among guests who tested positive after the event.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., who did not attend the dinner, also tested positive last week after she spent time with Biden and Harris. The president and the vice president tested negative last week.
