Monday night, we had the privilege of putting faces to screen names at our first ever Legal Insurrection reader reception. I've said often and firmly believe we have one of the internet's best readerships and having the opportunity to meet our readers in-person confirmed as much.

Legal Insurrection readers may recall that in August, I reported that the world is looking at a potential shortage of bacon and other pork products as African Swine Fever, nicknamed "Pig Ebola," has spread through Asia. Presently, North Korea has only reported 22 pig this May from the deadly and highly contagious disease. However, wayward feral pigs caught along its border with South Korea have officials concerned that the rogue nation is hiding an African swine fever disaster.

California regularly experiences Santa Ana conditions that can spread wildfires. Major wildfires have occurred since 2003 that have ravaged various regions of the state causing significant loss of life, property, and resources. Despite the science behind the fires, state politicians still promote the climate crisis agenda and not moving toward meaningful solutions.

Poland’s ruling nationalist Law and Justice party (PiS) has won the parliamentary election. Party leader Jarosław Kaczyński declared victory after securing close to 44 percent of the vote on Monday afternoon. The Catholic-conservative PiS is set to secure an absolute majority of 239 in the 460-seat parliament, initial projections show.

2020 Democrat presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) once again showed off her lack of self-awareness. Warren, who tried to pass herself as Native American, mourned "America's mistreatment of indigenous peoples" on Monday since it's Columbus Day. Did she say this to herself as she looked in the mirror?

Republicans and Democrats have always kept their eye on Ohio because the state generally votes for the winner of presidential elections. The state has not only on four occasions. But now it seems the Democrats have brushed aside the key state, especially with their rush to impeach President Donald Trump. An Axios focus group, which took place in an Ohio county Trump lost, found that impeachment has outraged voters in Ohio.
