Several Hollywood celebrities said it was time to &#8220;celebrate&#8221; after former <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">President Donald Trump</a> was indicted again, this time by a federal grand jury over his handling of classified records after leaving office.
Stars like Rob Reiner, George Takei, Michael Rapaport, and Ana Navarro to their social media accounts on Thursday after news broke that Trump had been indicted for allegedly violating the Espionage Act because of the way he handled classified documents, as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/famed-attorney-dershowitz-blasts-doj-bragg-over-trump-investigations">The Daily Wire</a> previously reported.
&#8220;Indictment #2. Couldn&#8217;t happen to a nicer Criminal. More to come,&#8221; Reiner tweeted.

Leftists are having an absolute meltdown over the leaked Supreme Court draft opinion that appears to show the potential for Roe v. Wade being overturned. These abortion proponents made their opinions known on Twitter.
Some of the most vocal advocates of upholding abortion access include celebrity figures. Many of these Hollywood stars took to social media to express their fear over the possibility of abortion law decisions returning to the state level. For example, “Star Trek” alum George Takei gave his opinion on the news by urging followers to “strike back.”
“Those motherf*****s really did it. First they came for Black voters, then they targeted LGBTQ+ families. Now, women of America, they’re overruling Roe v. Wade,” the 85-year-old actor <a href="https://twitter.com/GeorgeTakei/status/1521311500333424640">tweeted</a>. “We have to unite and strike back. Take to the streets. Overwhelm them at the ballot box. They have gone too damn far.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&#8220;Those justices lied in their confirmation hearings about Roe being settled law,&#8221; Takei added in a follow up <a href="https://twitter.com/GeorgeTakei/status/1521319131710201857">tweet</a>. &#8220;That is grounds to impeach them, or at least to expand the court to counter the effect of their blatant and intentional deception.&#8221;
Actress Amber Tamblyn <a href="https://twitter.com/ambertamblyn/status/1521308471349714949">wrote</a>: “Tonight our highest court declared war on more than half of its citizens – women and birthing people everywhere. The overturning of Roe V Wade is a political act of violence against us and we will not accept it. We will fight and we will not stop. EVER.”
“As the staggeringly partisan, right wing-dominated SCOTUS nudges America closer to Handmaids Tale status, the importance of voting in EVERY election becomes even more obvious,” Seth MacFarlane <a href="https://twitter.com/SethMacFarlane/status/1521369329559764997">shared</a>. “One would hope today’s news erases any further delusions that ‘both parties are pretty much the same.’”
Activist comedian Kathy Griffin used the news as an opportunity to remind everyone that this likely would not have happened if Hillary Clinton had won the 2016 election. She shared a photo of Clinton and wrote, 
&#8220;Roe v Wade has been overturned. Yes I know. Stay in my lane. Well I&#8217;d love to be posting about the met gala but this is the only attendee I care about. President Hillary Clinton never would&#8217;ve let Roe be overturned.&#8221;
Mia Farrow was also upset by the news. “Forced birth? Not really. I lived through the abortion ban years. The fact is that there wont be fewer  abortions,” she wrote. “Women will continue to get the abortion they need. Except those abortions wont be safe. Many, many women and girls will be mutilated or die.”
“The Handmaid’s Tale” actress Ever Carradine used the idea of Roe v. Wade being overturned to reference the show, which has been understood as an allegory for the fight to keep abortion legal. “Under His Eye,” she said. This line features prominently in both the television series and the book by Margaret Atwood.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
“I&#8217;m already on this show. I don&#8217;t want to live it,” Carradine <a href="https://twitter.com/EverCarradine/status/1521303483734904832">wrote</a> in a follow up. 
&#8220;Trust women. Vote,&#8221; Carradine went on. &#8220;Trust women trust women trust women. And vote. And trust women to make decisions about their bodies. #VoteBlueToSaveAmerica.&#8221;
She continued: &#8220;Quoting my cousin here &#8216;Just because you have a uterus does not mean that the state gains ownership over you when you become pregnant.'&#8221;
“I’m so, what’s the word right now? I can’t say it. Everyone is focused on whose wearing what at the Met Gala and women’s rights are taking the biggest hit in plain sight. I wish everyone would focus on one thing. We need everyone to focus on the news coming out regarding #SCOTUS,” Maria Shriver <a href="https://twitter.com/mariashriver/status/1521307257006219265">wrote</a>.
“It’s an early draft, that’s important to say. Drafts can be overturned. If people raise their voices, drafts can be overturned. This is what one has to hope for in this type of situation, that this will be overturned,” she wrote in a follow up.

Former &#8220;Star Trek&#8221; actor and left-wing activist George Takei received a verbal smackdown from Twitter users after he claimed that Americans could bear the brunt of rising food and gasoline prices in order to stick it to Vladimir Putin.
&#8220;Americans: We can endure higher prices for food and gas if it means putting the screws to Putin. Consider it a patriotic donation in the fight for freedom over tyranny,&#8221; Takei wrote on Twitter Friday evening.

Takei&#8217;s comments come amidst a massive surge in the price of gas. The Daily Wire reported Friday that the national average price for a gallon of gas rose <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/california-gas-price-eclipses-5-per-gallon-as-national-average-spikes-11-cents-overnight">11 cents overnight</a>, to a national average of $3.83 per gallon. The state of California has seen prices surge above $5 per gallon, while prices in the city of Syracuse, New York, soared to the highest in 10 years, and prices in the state of Michigan skyrocketed up 39 cents in the course of a week. <a href="https://www.bls.gov/news.release/cpi.t01.htm#cpipress1.f.1">Inflation</a> has also dramatically increased to the highest level in 40 years, 7.5% annually, with food inflation up 7% year-over-year.
GasBuddy Chief Petroleum Analyst <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gas-expert-prices-will-jump-5-to-10-cents-amid-ukraine-invasion-likely-to-break-4-a-gallon-by-spring">Patrick DeHaan</a> predicted the surge in a press conference last week, warning that the Russian invasion of Ukraine would drive up prices, while other factors such as increased demand and the switch to more-expensive summer blend gas would drive prices even higher. DeHaan also warned that increased prices at the pump would also mean higher prices in other sectors of the economy. “Gasoline prices are going up, diesel prices will go up, jet fuel prices will go up, and that means logistics, transporting goods, all of those prices will go up,” he said. “Airline tickets could go up. The price of anything delivered via truck, goods to the grocery store will see an increase. And services that rely on gasoline, whether that be things like Uber and Lyft and Instacart, you may see fuel surcharges tacked on those services in the coming days and weeks as well, as gas prices are likely to stay high.”
Takei&#8217;s comments echoed sentiments first espoused by President Joe Biden. At a press conference shortly after the news that Russia had invaded Ukraine, Biden admitted that the sanctions levied on the Russian economy would have an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-there-will-be-costs-for-americans-here-at-home-as-a-result-of-my-foreign-policy-decisions">adverse effect</a> on American consumers. “As I said last week, defending freedom will have costs for us as well, here at home,&#8221; Biden said. &#8220;We need to be honest about that.” Yet Biden halted construction of the Keystone XL pipeline on his first day in office, and has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-halts-oil-gas-leases-as-oil-prices-skyrocket-at-home">suspended new leases</a> for oil and gas drilling on federal lands while a pending legal challenge works its way through federal courts. That has prompted calls from <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hawley-boebert-press-for-more-american-oil-production-amid-ukraine-invasion">Congressional Republicans</a> and even Democratic West Virginia Senator <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuV0iODlZ6c&amp;t=298s">Joe Manchin</a>, to revitalize domestic oil production.

George Takei — the actor who played Hikaru Sulu in the Star Trek franchise — added his two cents to a cacophony of celebrities, activists, and left-leaning politicians reacting to Kyle Rittenhouse’s acquittal.
“Justice denied is a body blow to our national psyche,” tweeted Takei. “On trial was not only a killer, but a system that continues to kill. Today that system defeated true justice, once again. But mark these words: We will never stop fighting for what is right and just.”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Rittenhouse — a teenager charged with murder for fatally shooting two men and injuring a third while defending himself during a riot in Kenosha, Wisconsin — was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-kyle-rittenhouse-found-not-guilty">cleared</a> of all charges on Friday. Though prominent Americans from both sides of the aisle celebrated the decision, many progressives were disappointed.
President Joe Biden — who <a href="https://twitter.com/JoeBiden/status/1311268302950260737?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1311268302950260737%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fpolitics%2Fflashback-biden-compared-rittenhouse-to-white-supremacists-in-2020">associated</a> Rittenhouse with “white supremacists and militia groups” during the 2020 election cycle — said in a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-responds-to-rittenhouse-being-found-not-guilty-feeling-angry-and-concerned">statement</a> that he feels “angry and concerned” by the jury’s decision.
“While the verdict in Kenosha will leave many Americans feeling angry and concerned, myself included, we must acknowledge that the jury has spoken,” the commander-in-chief explained. “I ran on a promise to bring Americans together, because I believe that what unites us is far greater than what divides us. I know that we’re not going to heal our country’s wounds overnight, but I remain steadfast in my commitment to do everything in my power to ensure that every American is treated equally, with fairness and dignity, under the law.”
“I urge everyone to express their views peacefully, consistent with the rule of law,” Biden added. “Violence and destruction of property have no place in our democracy. The White House and Federal authorities have been in contact with Governor Evers’s office to prepare for any outcome in this case, and I have spoken with the Governor this afternoon and offered support and any assistance needed to ensure public safety.”
Other Democratic politicians expressed similar views. Like Takei, many referred to purported flaws in the legal system manifested by the outcome of the Rittenhouse case.
“Racism &amp; white supremacy remain the bedrock of our legal system,” <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/squad-member-ayanna-pressley-on-rittenhouse-verdict-racism-white-supremacy-remain-the-bedrock-of-our-legal-system">said</a> Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) from her official Twitter account. “My heart breaks for the family &amp; loved ones of those whose lives were stolen, and the trauma our communities face today and every day. The struggle for accountability, for justice, for healing goes on.”
“This heartbreaking verdict is a miscarriage of justice and sets a dangerous precedent which justifies federal review by DOJ,” <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/top-democrat-calls-for-justice-department-to-intervene-in-rittenhouse-case-conduct-federal-review">added</a> House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY). “Justice cannot tolerate armed persons crossing state lines looking for trouble while people engage in First Amendment-protected protest.”
“America today: you can break the law, carry around weapons built for a military, shoot and kill people, and get away with it,” <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/democrat-governor-gavin-newsom-slammed-over-remarks-on-outcome-of-rittenhouse-trial">commented</a> Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA). “That’s the message we’ve just sent to armed vigilantes across the nation.”

George Takei On Rittenhouse Verdict: ‘On Trial Was Not Only A Killer, But A System That Continues To Kill’

Kyle Rittenhouse

Actor George Takei said Sunday afternoon that “there’s still hope” that Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) will experience an allergic reaction to the COVID-19 vaccine, the first inoculation of which he received over the weekend.
“There are very, very few instances of known allergic reactions to the Covid-19 vaccine, but Marco Rubio has always thought of himself as one in a million so there’s still hope,” tweeted Takei to his 3.2 million Twitter followers.

Rubio, the acting chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, was offered a Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine during the first week of distribution as part of a government continuity plan, according to <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2020/12/17/capitol-hill-first-coronavirus-vaccine-448008">Politico</a>. The Florida senator posted a picture of his COVID-19 inoculation on Twitter and said he was confident in its safety and efficacy.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
I know I looked away from the needle
And yes, I know I need a tan
But I am so confident that the <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Covid19?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Covid19</a> vaccine is safe &amp; effective that I decided to take it myself <a href="https://t.co/TQbog6fu7i">pic.twitter.com/TQbog6fu7i</a>

As of Friday, the Food and Drug Administration was investigating five reports of serious allergic reactions that occurred in recipients of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine amidst the massive vaccine roll-out, according to <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-vaccines-fda/fda-investigating-five-allergic-reactions-after-pfizer-shot-in-u-s-idUSKBN28T05J">Reuters</a>.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s guidelines, updated Saturday, say that people who have had “severe allergic reactions,” or anaphylaxis, to an ingredient in the COVID-19 vaccine, should not receive that specific vaccine.
More from the CDC:
<blockquote>If you have had a severe allergic reaction to other vaccines or injectable therapies, you should ask your doctor if you should get a COVID-19 vaccine. Your doctor will help you decide if it is safe for you to get vaccinated.
CDC recommends that people with a history of severe allergic reactions not related to vaccines or injectable medications—such as allergies to food, pet, venom, environmental, or latex—may still get vaccinated. People with a history of allergies to oral medications or a family history of severe allergic reactions, or who might have an milder allergy to vaccines (no anaphylaxis)—may also still get vaccinated.
If you have a severe allergic reaction after getting the first shot, you should not get the second shot. Your doctor may refer you to a specialist in allergies and immunology to provide more care or advice.</blockquote>
Dr. Peter Marks, director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics and Evaluation, told reporters “the culprit” for the allergic reactions could be an ingredient in the vaccine called polyethylene glycol (PEG), but he was not certain, reports Reuters.
Key U.S. government officials in other branches have also been offered early COVID-19 vaccinations, although President Donald Trump has said White House officials would only receive them if “specifically necessary.” The president, who recovered from COVID-19 back in October, also said he would take the vaccine at an “appropriate time.”
Vice President Mike Pence, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) have all received their first inoculations as of this weekend and are slated to receive their follow-up dose three weeks later, just as all others who take the vaccine.

George Takei: ‘There’s Still Hope’ Marco Rubio Gets Allergic Reaction To Vaccine

&#8220;Star Trek&#8221; actor and noted LGBT activist George Takei issued a veiled swipe at author J.K. Rowling this week when he said that those who defend &#8220;so-called biological sex&#8221; are actually scientifically ignorant.
&#8220;When you defend so-called &#8216;biological sex,&#8217; you sound scientifically ignorant and you elevate transphobia,&#8221; the actor tweeted.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
While becoming a social media star throughout the past decade, George Takei has issued multiple incendiary, far-left statements. During the controversy over standing for the National Anthem, the actor compared it to North Korea, prompting severe backlash online.
&#8220;You know where citizens are required to stand for the National Anthem? North Korea,&#8221;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/george-takei-compares-standing-national-anthem-hank-berrien"> he tweeted</a> at the time.
In 2017, during the height of the #MeToo movement, Takei came under fire when an interview surfaced of him on &#8220;The Howard Stern Show&#8221; appearing to brag about grabbing skittish men by the crotch. He later <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/george-takei-posts-worst-apology-ever-bragging-amanda-prestigiacomo?amp">apologized</a>, saying he liked to portray a type of raunchy grandpa when appearing on the shock-jock&#8217;s show.
Though Takei did not mention Rowling by name, his tweet came out on the same day that the &#8220;Harry Potter&#8221; author released a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rowling-pens-essay-defending-herself-against-trans-blowback-i-refuse-to-bow-down">heartfelt essay</a> about her experiences as a woman, arguing that the concept of men becoming women erases womanhood entirely.
“It isn’t enough for women to be trans allies,” she wrote. “Women must accept and admit that there is no material difference between trans women and themselves. But, as many women have said before me, ‘woman’ is not a costume. ‘Woman’ is not an idea in a man’s head. ‘Woman’ is not a pink brain, a liking for Jimmy Choos or any of the other sexist ideas now somehow touted as progressive.”
Rowling&#8217;s essay came in response to another wave of the controversy she created last weekend when she essentially said that the concept of transgenderism erases the struggles of women across the world.
“If sex isn’t real, there’s no same-sex attraction,” Rowling tweeted, as reported by <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/jk-rowling-backlash-sex-gender">Fox News</a>. “If sex isn’t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased. I know and love trans people, but erasing the concept of sex removes the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives. It isn’t hate to speak the truth.”
“The idea that women like me, who’ve been empathetic to trans people for decades, feeling kinship because they’re vulnerable in the same way as women – ie, to male violence – ‘hate’ trans people because they think sex is real and has lived consequences – is a nonsense,” she continued.
