If Trump were POTUS, he'd put in price controls. Just like Jimmy Carter did.

Since last November 3, the average price per gallon of regular
gasoline in the U.S. has skyrocketed by 75 cents. The markets clearly
see the Biden/Harris administration as one that will work to inhibit
U.S. oil production, which will also have the effect of tightening the
global market, and traders have responded by driving up the price of
crude oil;

Biden WANTS higher prices.

It's called supply and demand.
Are you ignorant of capitalism, or are you a socialist?

During COVID last year no one was driving
OR WORKING.

Thanks to Biden now they are.

Both gas prices and inflation spikes are to be expected
AND are temporary coming out of the COVID depression.

"For now, with *imbalances in supply and demand* continuing,
motorists will continue digging deeper to pay for gasoline,
as prices are likely headed nowhere but up until global
supply starts to catch up with the surge in demand,"

If you were a Democrat or some other retarded group, you would think
supply and demand is the only reason.

Oh wait.

You are.

So what are the other main reasons?

Oh ya, Biden wants it that way?
Any other conspiracy theories?

Maybe it has something to do with
Hillary's pizza parlor where she
supplies democrats with the blood
of children?

No wait, Biden is part of the Reptilian Elite
controlling the Deep State Cabal, I forgot.

The loosening of COVID restrictions globally in recent months has led
to a rapid recovery in global demand for crude oil that has exceeded
the expectations of all of the “experts” on the subject, leading to a
tightening of global crude markets;
Strong discipline among the OPEC+ nations related to their agreement
to limit exports has also played a major role in tightening the
relationship between global supply and demand;
The U.S. election has also obviously played a big role here. Since
last November 3, the average price per gallon of regular gasoline in
the U.S. has skyrocketed by 75 cents. The markets clearly see the
Biden/Harris administration as one that will work to inhibit U.S. oil
production, which will also have the effect of tightening the global
market, and traders have responded by driving up the price of crude
oil;
Refinery maintenance and the changeover to summer gasoline blends.
This is a factor that I tend to write about every year at this time.
Gas prices have continued to rise even as crude prices have dropped
over the past week mainly due to the fact that March and April are the
time of year in which many U.S. refineries are taken offline for
annual maintenance and all refiners are switching from manufacturing a
handful of winter blends of gasoline to the dozens of summer blends
required by the EPA. This changeover invariably raises the costs of
both refining and transportation of gasoline, and that is always
worked into gas prices during these months.

The problem being that Biden canceled the OIL pipe lines and leases in
the U.S. and OK'd them for RUSSIA to build pipelines elsewhere....

That's an imbalance created by the BidenRegime.


The Democrats create a lack of TRANSPARENCY and lie lie lie...

Democrats create the crisis and then tell us they will fix it but they
never do.

That's Karma

*The first rule of SURVIVAL CLUB is*
Never trust what Democrats or Marxists tell you. Make them prove it with
actual verifiable facts and science. And if you didn't find the lie in
what the Marxist-Democrat told you then you didn't dig deep enough. The
*Gruber Doctrine* is the Marxist-Democrat plan that says it's "to the
Democrats advantage to have a lack of transparency and then lie about
everything".

science to understand everything. So no one understands science,
otherwise they would understand everything.

Biden could use his super powers to will all the rightists dead, but he's

A man is no longer facing manslaughter charges after a
controversial, deadly shooting outside a popular St Johns County
bar. Action News Jax Princess Jhane Stepherson explains how the
“stand your ground” statute applies in this case according to a
recent judicial ruling.

A popular St Augustine bar became the crime scene for a shooting
in the summer of 2021 when a fight turned deadly.

Surveillance video obtained by Action News Jax shows 31-year-old
Luis Casado and 37-year-old Adam Amoia circled in white
exchanging words. Things got physical when Amoia and another man
repeatedly slapped Casado to the point of knocking off his
glasses.

Casado says at that moment he could not see and was scared for
his life after being backed into a corner by Amoia. That’s when
Casado pulled out a gun and shot Amoia multiple times. Action
News Jax law and safety expert Dale Carson - who spent decades
in law enforcement and with the FBI says those factors are what
gave Casado the right to use deadly force.

“You have to be in fear of death or great bodily harm right now
not 45 minutes later but right now,” says Dale Carson.

Casados attorney argued self-defense on the ‘stand your ground’
law after Casado was charged with manslaughter. Last night a
judge dismissed those charges. I reached out to Casado’s
attorney and Amoia’s brother for comment on the judge’s ruling,
but I have yet to hear back.

Casado still faces a misdemeanor charge for caring a concealed
weapon into a bar which isn’t allowed.

“A misdemeanor could be punishable by up to a year in custody
though it’s doubtful that he would actually serve time in
connection with something like that,” says Dale Carson.

The Trump-appointed judge has called for Stanford Law to discipline the
student protesters

A new video of a Trump-appointed federal judge getting heckled at Stanford
University shows the associate dean of diversity, equity and inclusion at
the law school appearing to smirk as she watches the protesters shout at
the man.

Judge Kyle Duncan, who serves on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth
Circuit, was invited to speak at Stanford March 9 by the Federalist
Society but was met with demonstrators holding signs and shouting at him.
Among the protesters' complaints was how Duncan refused to use a
transgender sex offender's preferred pronouns in a 2020 opinion.

"What is your problem, man? Why would you show up and flash that sign in
my face?" Duncan asked one protester holding a sign referencing Duncan and
a slang word for a female erogenous zone, according to video exclusively
obtained by Fox News Digital.

The other protesters are seen bursting into laughter, as Tirien Steinbach,
Stanford Law's associate dean of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI)
turns to look at the sign before appearing to smirk and then cover her
face with her hands.

STANFORD DEI DEAN SLAMS INVITED FEDERAL JUDGE TO HIS FACE AT CAMPUS EVENT,
ASKS IF FREE SPEECH IS 'WORTH IT'

Steinbach removes her hands as Duncan continues to ask the protester about
the sign and remains in her chair without telling any of the students to
quiet down, the video shows.

Duncan was unable to hold his speech at Stanford. Instead, Steinbach took
over and alleged that Duncan causes "harm" through his work as a federal
judge. Steinbach also said she was "uncomfortable" by the anger over
Duncan's presence on campus.

"I had to write something down because I am so uncomfortable up here. And
I don't say that for sympathy. I just say that I am deeply, deeply
uncomfortable," Steinbach said, standing feet from Duncan. "I'm
uncomfortable because this event is tearing at the fabric of this
community that I care about and I'm here to support.

AFTER 'DIVERSITY' DEAN HECKLES TRUMP JUDGE OUT OF SPEECH, STANFORD STUDENT
CALLS ON ADMIN TO TAKE ACTION

The outburst from protesters led to calls for the school to apologize to
the judge, and Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz suggested the school
reprimand students involved.

Cruz added that the associate dean "thrust herself into the limelight
during the allotted time of the event, stole the microphone for over six
minutes and proceeded to chastise and condescend to Judge Duncan with the
aid of her own pre-prepared remarks."

HUNDREDS OF SILENT MASKED STUDENTS SURROUND STANFORD LAW DEAN FOR APOLOGY
TO HECKLED FEDERAL JUDGE: 'EERIE'

Stanford Law School Dean Jenny Martinez and Stanford President Marc
Tessier-Lavigne ultimately apologized to Duncan in a letter.

"We write to apologize for the disruption of your recent speech at
Stanford Law School," the two said in a joint statement. "As has already
been communicated to our community, what happened was inconsistent with
our policies on free speech, and we are very sorry about the experience
you had while visiting our campus."

The apology, however, drew more outrage from protesters, with hundreds of
students gathering outside of Martinez's classroom this week while wearing
all black and obscuring their faces with masks that said "counter-speech
is free speech." The protesters formed a "human corridor" stretching from
the classroom to the exit of the school.

One anonymous student described the protest as "eerie" to The Washington
Free Beacon.

Duncan has since said the school should discipline the protesters.

"If enough of these kids get into the legal profession," he told The Free
Beacon, "the rule of law will descend into barbarism."

Stanford Law and Steinbach did not immediately respond to Fox News
Digital's request for comment on the video.

DEI Associate Dean Tirien Steinbach helped disrupt Judge Kyle Duncan's
appearance

A Stanford student told Fox News that administrators should take action
after he was mortified by the behavior of students and the school's
diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) dean, whose objections led a Trump-
appointed federal judge to ditch his speaking engagement.

Stanford DEI Associate Dean Tirien Steinbach joined students by claiming
that Judge Kyle Duncan, based out of the Fifth Circuit in New Orleans, was
causing "harm" by his rulings.

Students could be heard yelling that Duncan's "racism is showing," and the
jurist ultimately was ushered out by federal marshals before being able to
offer his remarks.

"I look out, and I say I'm glad this is going on here," Steinbach was
heard saying on video while claiming that the Stanford administration
still believes in free speech.

Duncan had been invited by the Stanford branch of the Federalist Society,
which former President Donald Trump conferred with throughout his tenure
in nominating judges to the federal bench.

MARYMOUNT UNIVERSITY STUDENTS LAUNCH PROTESTS AFTER SCHOOL CUTS MAJORS
LIKE MATH, ENGLISH, RELIGIOUS STUDIES

Josiah Joner, a student who had joined others in writing up his objection
to the chaotic scene for the Stanford Review, told "The Story" that it was
"emblematic of what's going on throughout the country."

"One of the biggest issues of this is that this wasn't just coming from
students. We expect conservative and liberal students to do, you know,
crazy stuff that's going to go against policies."

"There need to be administrators and officials of the university who are
there to be able to reaffirm the commitment to free speech and let these
people speak and be able to share their opinions — because that's the
principle that not only this country was built on, but … Stanford's
policies," Joner said.

He cited a written apology to Duncan from Stanford President Marc Tessier-
Lavigne and Law School Dean Jenny Martinez, adding that other "concrete
steps" must be taken to ensure freedom of speech and fair treatment of
invited speakers.

Joner said Steinbach acted in a way "unbefitting" of a law school
administrator — and should either pledge to commit to changing her
behavior or Tessier-Lavigne and others in leadership should take action to
prevent incidents overall.

Such scenes, he said, do "not have a place here at Stanford," adding that
action should also be taken to advise students their behavior was
unacceptable.

"These are supposed to be these future lawyers and Supreme Court justices,
and they're not standing up to those principles," he said.

In response to his premature departure, Duncan told the Washington Free
Beacon that he feels bad for the students rather than himself.

"Don’t feel sorry for me," he told the outlet. "I’m a life-tenured federal
judge. What outrages me is that these kids are being treated like dog----
by fellow students and administrators."

Fifth Circuit Court Judge Kyle Duncan was heckled by students while
speaking at a Federalist Society event at Stanford University

Things quickly went south during a speech by federal Judge Kyle Duncan to
law students at Stanford University this week when the associate dean of
diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) slammed him to his face after
hecklers interrupted his presentation.

Duncan, who was appointed by former President Donald Trump, started
getting heckled by student protestors who made it impossible for him to
continue his speech.

According to video footage from the Thursday event, Dean Tirien Steinbach
did nothing to stop the heckling and instead launched a minutes-long
emotional speech during his presentation accusing him of causing "harm"
through his work on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, and
suggesting the school needed to reconsider its policies on free speech.

"I had to write something down because I am so uncomfortable up here. And
I don't say that for sympathy, I just say that I am deeply, deeply
uncomfortable," Steinbach said, standing just feet from Duncan in the
lecture hall. "I'm uncomfortable because this event is tearing at the
fabric of this community that I care about, and I'm here to support."

"I have to ask myself … is the juice worth the squeeze? Is this worth it?"
she said at the event hosted by the Stanford Federalist Society.

THESE TOP COLLEGES SCAM YOU AND YOUR KIDS AS WOKE INSANITY SOARS

Duncan, appearing frustrated, suggested the event was a "setup" before
Steinbach interrupted him and continued.

"It isn't a setup. For many people in this law school who work here, who
study here and live here, your advocacy, your opinions from the bench,
land as absolute disenfranchisement of their rights," Steinbach said.

Duncan attempted to speak again, but the room erupted with jeers and
Steinbach stopped him, saying, "Please let me finish."

"It's uncomfortable to say this to you as a person. It's uncomfortable to
say that for many people here, your work has caused harm … and I know that
must be uncomfortable to hear. It must be," she said. "I'm also
uncomfortable because many of the people in the room here I have come to
care for."

Steinbach, who previously served as the chief program officer at the ACLU
of Northern California, went on to describe how her job as associate DEI
dean was to create "a space of belonging for all people in this
institution," despite not stopping some of the students' continued
aggression towards Duncan.

She told Duncan that she "wholeheartedly" welcomed him because she
believed in the necessity of free speech, but also went on to suggest his
speech was "abhorrent," "harmful," and "literally denies the humanity of
people."

She added that she didn't want to censor Duncan and that she found the
university's policy of free speech "worthy of defending even at this
time." She then, however, asked again if Duncan's speech was worth it.

"And, again, I ask is the juice worth the squeeze? Is this worth the pain
that this causes and the division that this causes?" she asked. "You have
something so incredibly important to say about Twitter and guns and COVID,
then that is worth this impact and the division … When I say is the juice
worth the squeeze, that's what I'm asking. Is this worth it?"

CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY'S STUDENTS' CAREERS TAKE A HIT AFTER DISTRICT
‘PUNISHED’ THEM FOR THEIR BELIEFS: ADMIN

Steinbach went on to say she would stay for Duncan's presentation, and to
hear his perspective, but that she understood that students who felt the
harm by his views was "so great" that the university "might need to
reconsider" its free speech policy.

"Luckily they're in a school where they can learn the advocacy skills to
advocate for those changes," she said.

She then thanked the protestors for "protecting the free speech that we
value here." Before giving those who chose not to stay to listen to Duncan
an opportunity to leave.

"I look out, and I don't ask what is going on here. I look out, and I say
I'm glad this is going on here," she added before turning the event back
over to Duncan as a throng of students walked out of the room.

Fox News Digital reached out to Stanford University for comment but did
not immediately receive a response.

The Washington Free Beacon schooled law students on freedom of the press

Last week, students at Stanford Law disrupted a Federalist Society event
that featured U.S. Circuit Court Judge Kyle Duncan. Duncan was prevented
from speaking by unruly protesters and berated by the school's associate
dean of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.

Now, some of the protest leaders, many of whom shared the names and
pictures of Federalist Society members online and in posters, are unhappy
because the Washington Free Beacon published their names.

"NEW: The same students who plastered the names and faces of the Stanford
Federalist Society all over the school are now demanding anonymity from
the Free Beacon. They say we've violated their right to privacy by
identifying them. You can't make it up," Aaron Sibarium, a journalist for
the Washington Free Beacon, tweeted Friday.

NEW AUDIO OFFERS INSIGHT INTO STANFORD STUDENTS' WILD DISRUPTION OF
FEDERAL JUDGE: ‘YOU DON’T RESPECT US!'

"On Sunday, I identified board members of the Stanford National Lawyers
Guild--one of the groups responsible for the posters--who in a public
statement described the protest as 'Stanford Law School at its best.' A
few hours later, the board demanded I redact their names," Sibarium
reported.

Sibarium said that Lily Bou, a board member of the Stanford National
Lawyers Guild, sent an email demanding the Free Beacon remove her name and
those of other students from their reporting. "Listing our names serves no
purpose other than to invite abuse and harassment," she wrote.

"I wonder what purpose the posters of the fedsoc board served," Sibarium
wrote.

"You do not have our permission to reference or quote any portion of this
email in a future piece," she added.

"Needless to say, that's not how the First Amendment works," Sibarium
commented.

NEW VIDEO SHOWS STANFORD PROTESTERS HECKLING FEDERAL JUDGE AS DEI DEAN
APPEARS TO SMIRK

He went on, "We've gotten similar complaints about publishing
images—pulled from social media—of Stanford Law School dean Jenny
Martinez's classroom, which protesters covered end to end in flyers after
she issued an apology to Judge Duncan."

"We received a note from Mary Cate Hickman demanding that we ‘anonymize
the face of the student in the red hoodie’ because 'California is a two-
party consent state, and you have no right to publish this student's
identity/likeness/face without consent,'" he tweeted.

The reporter noted that two-party consent only applies to surreptitious
audio recordings and that there is no expectation of privacy during a
public protest at a public law school event where participants freely post
video and images. He also pointed out that the protest has been covered on
national television and publications, further eroding any expectation of
privacy.

"What's eminently clear from the drama unfolding in Palo Alto is that
while Stanford law students may be the vanguard of an anti-constitutional
revolution, they don't know much about the law. Where Stanford has failed
to educate them in the limits of privacy and the rights of a free press,
we will endeavor to fill the void with our continuing coverage of this
ugly affair."

Free speech is under attack on college campuses across America. At UC
Davis on Tuesday, conservative commentator Charlie Kirk's speech was
disrupted by protesters who smashed windows and clashed with police.

According to one survey, less than half Republican college students feel
safe expressing their political views on campus. Many students fear
retribution in personal and professional settings for sharing their
conservative beliefs.

The eligibility requirements for president are outlined in the
Constitution and don't exclude anyone with a criminal conviction or
indictment.

Former President Donald Trump said he may be criminally charged in New
York for allegedly making hush money payments to adult film actress Stormy
Daniels, who claims she had an affair with him.

On March 16, Trump issued a statement on Truth Social calling the criminal
investigation a “witch hunt.”

Trump launched his third campaign for presidency in November 2022.
Following the news of Trump’s possible arrest, people online were
searching what the requirements are to be president. “Trump arrest” was
also trending on Google.

THE QUESTION
Can you be elected president if you’ve been charged with or convicted of a
crime?

THE SOURCES
The U.S. Constitution
U.S. Term Limits, Inc. v. Thornton Supreme Court ruling
National Archives
Doron M. Kalir, clinical professor of law at Cleveland-Marshall College of
Law
THE ANSWER
This is true.
Yes, you can run for and serve as president if you’ve been charged with or
convicted of a crime.

Sign up for the VERIFY Fast Facts daily Newsletter!

WHAT WE FOUND
A person can run for or serve as president if they meet the qualifications
outlined in the Constitution.

Article Two of the Constitution lists only three qualifications for the
presidency:

The candidate must be at least 35 years of age
The candidate must be a natural born citizen
The candidate must have lived in the United States for at least 14 years.
There is no mention of criminal charges of any kind as disqualifying
someone from running for or serving as president in the Constitution.

Doron M. Kalir, a clinical professor of law at Cleveland-Marshall College
of Law, confirmed to VERIFY that anyone charged or convicted of a crime
could still sit in the Oval Office. A constitutional omission is the same
thing as legal permission, he said. That means because the Constitution
doesn’t say anything about a crime or conviction as part of the
eligibility, it’s allowable.

He said at the time of America’s founding, the drafters of the
Constitution likely didn’t consider an indictment or conviction as a
factor for eligibility.

“Accordingly, they left it to the voters to decide whether such a person
deserves to lead them. That determination — to leave it to the voters —
was left intact for over two centuries. I doubt it will be disturbed now,”
Kalir told VERIFY.

The Supreme Court has also upheld the constitutional eligibility
requirements and prevented states from excluding anyone convicted of any
charge from running for federal office, including the presidency.

The only way to change the requirements for the presidency would be to
amend the Constitution. According to the National Archives, Congress would
have to pass the amendment by two-thirds majority vote in both the House
of Representatives and the Senate. Or, a constitutional convention would
have to be called by two-thirds of state legislatures. The last time a
convention was called was in 1787.

While rare, there have been times a convicted felon has run for president.

Joseph Maldonado, also known as Joe Exotic of “Tiger King” fame, announced
his bid for a 2024 presidential run. He is currently serving a 21-year
prison sentence.

In 1988, Lyndon LaRouche was convicted on mail fraud and conspiracy
charges and he still ran for president multiple times until 2004.

In 1920, Eugene Debs ran for president after being convicted of espionage.
He ran on the socialist ticket from a federal prison in Alabama.

Warning: This story contains references to disturbing accusations and
incidents of child sex abuse.

Last Oct. 18, Rolling Stone served up a foreboding scoop: The FBI had
raided the home of a renowned journalist at the top of his game months
earlier, and he had disappeared from public view.

It should have been a coup. Instead, acrimony inside the newsroom over how
that scoop was edited led to accusations that the magazine's brash leader
pulled punches in overseeing coverage of someone he knew. The reporter who
wrote the story, enraged, accepted a position at a sister publication two
months later. And her complaints prompted a senior attorney for the
magazine's parent company to review what happened.

FBI raids on journalists are rare. News organizations often respond with
formal protests and legal challenges. Under a 2021 Justice Department
policy, raids, subpoenas and other compulsory means of obtaining materials
from reporters are banned for any investigation of matters related to
their journalism. The policy became the basis for a significant shift in
the stance of the Justice Department toward the press.

The Rolling Stone story created a stir. Reporter Tatiana Siegel stated
that the April 22 raid was "quite possibly, the first" carried out by the
Biden administration on a journalist.

In this case, the journalist was ABC News national security producer James
Gordon Meek. A former investigator for the U.S. House Homeland Security
Committee, Meek had been with ABC News since 2013. He also was a producer
of 3212 Un-Redacted, an investigative documentary that streamed on Hulu.

As published, the Rolling Stone article's first two paragraphs lionized
Meek's record and swashbuckling style.

"Meek appears to be on the wrong side of the national-security apparatus,"
it stated.

As the story noted, Siegel's sources told her "federal agents allegedly
found classified information on Meek's laptop during their raid." Siegel
reported that Meek left his job at ABC after the raid; a publishing
contract with Simon & Schuster evaporated.

As edited by Rolling Stone Editor-in-Chief Noah Shachtman, however, the
article omitted a key fact that Siegel initially intended to include:
Siegel had learned from her sources that Meek had been raided as part of a
federal investigation into images of child sex abuse, something not
publicly revealed until last month.

Why did Rolling Stone suggest Meek was targeted for his coverage of
national security, rather than something unrelated to his journalism?

Neither Siegel nor Shachtman would comment for this story. This article is
based on a review of some contemporaneous communications and also
interviews with 10 people with knowledge of incidents described here,
including several individuals at Rolling Stone, as well as people at ABC
and federal law enforcement agencies.

Each asked not to be named because they were not authorized to disclose
these matters publicly.

Disbelief over the nature of the accusations against a journalist
The raid on Meek's apartment occurred in April but did not become public
knowledge. In September, Siegel learned details of the raid from Meek's
neighbors, yet she felt the story was languishing. At a staff meeting late
that month, Shachtman asked her what she was working on. She reminded him.

The next week, Shachtman stepped in to edit Siegel's story. It was rare
for him to do so for her work.

As a longtime national security reporter himself, Shachtman has
periodically expressed to colleagues at various outlets his skepticism of
the veracity of government sources. When Siegel detailed the seriousness
of the allegations against Meek, Shachtman warned her against turning in a
story that included the words "child pornography" in it.

According to two people with knowledge, Mark S. Zaid, a Washington
attorney who often handles national security matters and represents
government whistleblowers, called Shachtman on Meek's behalf while Siegel
was preparing her story. Zaid previously represented the Daily Beast on
Freedom of Information Act cases while Shachtman was editor of the site.

Zaid confirms that he called Shachtman, and he tells NPR that Meek was a
longtime friend and client on Freedom of Information issues. Zaid says he
was representing Meek on any possible prosecution or investigation of his
potential possession of classified material.

The accounts given by the associates, colleagues and friends of the two
key figures — Siegel and Shachtman — diverge here. According to what
Siegel told others, Shachtman and she agreed that the article would
reflect that the FBI's interest stemmed from concerns of possible criminal
behavior outside the scope of Meek's work — that is, it had nothing to do
with national security or journalism.

Shachtman later told others that he did not believe that she had nailed
down her sourcing adequately. Rolling Stone parent company Penske Media
notes that authority to make such choices for Rolling Stone's coverage
lies with Shachtman. "That was true in this case, as reflected in the
final edits to the story," the company said in a statement to NPR. "Some
material was added late in the process, other material was dropped."

In a note posted on a newsroom-wide Slack channel reviewed by NPR,
Shachtman asked photo staffers to come up with a generic photograph rather
than a picture of Meek. "let's not use a picture of the guy in question,
james gordon meek," Shachtman requested, eschewing capital letters, in a
post stamped "NEEDS PHOTO." "something FBI-y, please."

The large lead photograph shows federal agents nearing a crime scene tape
in 2018 in California, with the agency's initials in vivid yellow letters
on the agents' blue windbreakers.

As the two of them worked to finalize the piece, Siegel was pulled away to
help care for her ailing mother. Shachtman promised Siegel he would ensure
the story would land safely while she tended to her family's needs.
(Siegel's mother died hours after the story was posted.)

Penske Media cites Siegel's need to deal with a family emergency as a
complicating factor but says the two "were in contact up until the final
moments before publishing."

In the hours leading up to publication, Shachtman changed Siegel's draft
to remove all suggestions that the investigation was not related to Meek's
reporting. He left in the finding that federal agents had allegedly found
"classified information" on Meek's devices.

The article left many readers with the distinct impression that the
investigation was linked to Meek's reporting — which could lead to a clash
of the government and the press. Rolling Stone's official Twitter account
promoted the story this way: "Exclusive: Emmy-winning ABC News producer
James Gordon Meek had his home raided by the FBI. His colleagues say they
haven't seen him since." The tweet's thrust was echoed by WikiLeaks, Glenn
Beck and the Freedom of the Press Foundation, which wrote, "If this was
related to his work, as this @RollingStone report suggests it might be, it
is a gross press freedom violation."

On Feb. 1, the Justice Department unveiled criminal charges against Meek
related to images of child sex abuse. Among other accusations, authorities
say Meek shared a video showing the rape of an infant. Meek has pleaded
not guilty and currently sits in federal custody.

Colleagues and friends say Siegel said she didn't know of the changes to
her story until after it appeared online. Associates characterize Siegel
as infuriated by what she considered Shachtman's interference in the
independence of her reporting.

"The Meek case was a particularly complex one, and the editorial choices
made while covering it weren't always simple or easy," Penske Media said
in its statement. "So Rolling Stone stuck to a simple principle: publish
in the moment as much information as it could confidently substantiate."

Rolling Stone has faced tough fallout previously from stories that did not
receive sufficient editorial scrutiny. It paid millions of dollars in a
series of settlements of defamation lawsuits filed over a retracted 2014
article that purported to describe a gang rape at the University of
Virginia. After Columbia Journalism School completed an investigation
commissioned by Rolling Stone, the school's dean at the time described a
"systematic failing" inside the newsroom.

In its statement, Penske Media said that as editor-in-chief, Shachtman
"makes the final call on the use of anonymous sources and background
material." It noted that the magazine posted Siegel's subsequent stories
about Meek, including the revelation in December — two months after the
original story — that the Justice Department was preparing an indictment
unrelated to Meek's work for consideration by a grand jury.

An editor who travels in the same professional circles as his story's
focus
The incident cuts against Shachtman's well-cultivated image as a fearless
steamroller. "Rolling Stone's at its best when it's both celebrating great
art and taking down bad actors," he told The New York Times in July 2021
upon his appointment to lead the magazine. Shachtman has his own rock-and-
roll cred as a professional bass player for ska bands before breaking into
the top ranks of journalism several decades ago.

A month after he took over, an October 2021 Rolling Stone story titled
"Eric Clapton Isn't Just Spouting Vaccine Nonsense—He's Bankrolling It"
served notice that Shachtman wouldn't look away from rock icons just
because they had been featured on the magazine's past covers.

Yet Siegel asked corporate officials whether Shachtman's familiarity with
Meek affected his judgment on her story.

Prior to Meek's arrest, Shachtman considered Meek a peer with whom he was
friendly, according to associates.

Shachtman has told colleagues that the two men travel in the same
professional circles.

Shachtman boasts his own distinguished record as a national security
journalist. Earlier in his career, he founded and led the national
security blog Danger Room for Wired magazine. In 2010, the writer Spencer
Ackerman referred in a post on the blog to "our friend James Gordon Meek."
Shachtman later worked for Foreign Policy magazine before becoming the No.
2 editor and then editor-in-chief at the Daily Beast.

Shortly before Shachtman joined Rolling Stone, Meek suggested on Twitter
that Shachtman should pay attention to an obscure band from Niger — the
location of the botched military mission that Meek helped investigate for
ABC. Shachtman replied by linking to an earlier review.

Meek soon emailed Shachtman to gauge interest in covering his Hulu
documentary series. The new Rolling Stone editor passed the note along to
colleagues; the magazine posted a glowing review some weeks later, in
November 2021.

A takedown in the Daily Beast — Shachtman's former site
A week after Siegel's scoop ran in October, the Daily Beast's Lachlan
Cartwright wrote a piece undercutting it. Cartwright's article said that
the Rolling Stone piece "read like a Tom Clancy thriller and raised
serious concerns that the feds raided a journalist over his work" but that
sources at ABC "poured cold water" on the article's apparent premise.

Shachtman updated Siegel's story so it bore the same date — Oct. 24 — and
cited the Daily Beast's story in quoting a Justice Department official
saying that the department "strictly adheres" to its policy prohibiting
such investigations of journalists over newsgathering.

"After the story ran - and as Tatiana's family emergency continued - Noah
added a quote from a Justice Department spokesperson to the piece without
consulting Tatiana," Penske Media's statement to NPR says. "He takes
responsibility for that."

Siegel told friends she felt she was being mocked by one of Shachtman's
former colleagues. (In his first memo upon being promoted to the Daily
Beast's editor-in-chief in May 2018, Shachtman shared news of Cartwright's
hiring at the digital news outlet.)

A Nov. 16 Rolling Stone article about Meek by reporter Tim Dickinson cited
the Daily Beast for that Justice Department quote, as though Siegel had
not earlier secured the same information about the Justice Department's
policy.

In December, Siegel broke the news that the indictment was looming. By the
end of that month, she was gone to Variety to serve as its executive
editor of film and media. Penske Media, which owns both magazines, says
the move "had been a conversation for many months–well before the first
Meek story ran."

It had been a conversation, Siegel told friends in December, but she said
she had decided to accept the offer only in the days before.

The regulatory agency issued a "no questions" letter as part of its pre-
market consultation, which means the agency agrees with the company's
conclusion that its cultivated chicken is safe to consume.

Now, the company must obtain a grant of inspection from the U.S.
Department of Agriculture to operate its production facility in Alameda,
Calif. "We are working with the USDA to clear that last hurdle," GOOD Meat
CEO Josh Tetrick told NPR by text.

The company says celebrity chef José Andrés has agreed to offer GOOD
Meat's chicken to his customers at one of his restaurant in Washington,
D.C. "It's going to be something when it lands in his restaurants,"
Tetrick said.

GOOD Meat has been selling its chicken in Singapore since 2020, but so far
there are no foods made from cultured animal cells on the market in the
U.S. As more than 80 companies stake a future in the space, the USDA and
FDA have been working together on regulatory oversight to make sure that
cultivated meats entering the U.S. market are safe and properly labeled.

"Today's news is more than just another regulatory decision — it's food
system transformation in action," says Bruce Friedrich, president and
founder of the Good Food Institute, a non-profit think tank that focuses
on alternatives to traditional meat production. Friedrich points to the
potential environmental benefits of cultivated meat.

"Consumers and future generations deserve the foods they love made more
sustainably and in ways that benefit the public good — ways that preserve
our land and water, ways that protect our climate and global health,"
Friedrich says.

GOOD Meat's production facility looks like a brewery, filled with big,
shiny, stainless-steel tanks. On a recent tour of the facility GOOD Meat
scientist Vitor Espirito Santo explains how the meat is grown.

First they extract a bunch of cells from chickens. Then they feed the
cells a mix of proteins, fats and carbohydrates — the same things the
cells would get if they were in an animal's body. Then the cells start to
proliferate and grow.

"Think about yeast fermentation," Espirito Santo says. "The processes are
the same. We feed them with nutrients, and they will multiply until we
tell them to stop," he says.

The meat grows inside the tanks on trays. After it comes out, it's molded
into shapes such as nuggets or a fillet. After three to four weeks,
they're ready for the grill.

GOOD Meat is the second cultivated meat company to receive FDA clearance.

Last fall, the agency made history when it informed Upside Foods that it
agreed with the company's assessment that its cultivated chicken is safe
to eat.

Upside Foods was co-founded by a cardiologist who believes growing meat
from cells is a better way to bring meat to the table. During a tour last
fall, Dr. Uma Valeti showed NPR's reporters around the facility, which is
full of glass walls, and intended to signal transparency in the process.
"To create a paradigm change, people should be able to walk through and
see and believe it," he says.

Upside Foods is also awaiting a mark of inspection from USDA.

> As a real capitalist, I believe the government needs to step in

MECKLENBURG COUNTY, N.C. — A North Carolina bill restricting how teachers
talk about race and gender in schools passed the state House and now heads
to the state Senate.

The bill would ban teachers from compelling students to agree to things
like "the United States was created by men whose purpose was to oppress
women or Black people" and that "a male is inherently sexist because of
his gender."

House Bill 187, sponsored by Gaston county Representative John Torbett,
mirrors a bill vetoed two years ago by Gov. Roy Cooper.

"House Bill 187 demonstrates the General Assembly intent that students,
teachers, administrators, and other school employees recognize the
equality and rights of all persons," Torbett said.

WCNC Charlotte mobile app.

There are no penalties listed in the bill, which its critics point out,
and opposing lawmakers say it would stop the open discussion at schools
about facts in American history.

Under HB187, teachers would have to walk a tight line on how they discuss
13 concepts related to race and gender. Under the bill, public schools
can't promote:

One race or sex is inherently superior to another race or sex.
An individual, solely by virtue of his or her race or sex, is inherently
racist, sexist, or oppressive.
An individual should be discriminated against or receive adverse treatment
solely or partly because of his or her race or sex.
An individual's moral character is necessarily determined by his or her
race or sex.
An individual, solely by virtue of his or her race or sex, bears
responsibility for actions committed in the past by other members of the
same race or sex.
Any individual, solely by virtue of his or her race or sex, should feel
discomfort, guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress.
A meritocracy is inherently racist or sexist.
The United States was created by members of a particular race or sex for
the purpose of oppressing members of another race or sex.
The United States government should be violently overthrown.
Particular character traits, values, moral or ethical codes, privileges,
or beliefs should be ascribed to a race or sex or to an individual because
of the individual's race or sex.
The rule of law does not exist, but instead is a series of power
relationships and struggles among racial or other groups.
All Americans are not created equal and are not endowed by their Creator
with certain unalienable rights, including life, liberty, and the pursuit
of happiness.
Governments should deny to any person within the government's jurisdiction
the equal protection of the law.
"House Bill 187 is destructive to our school learning environment, it is a
distraction from the real issues that our public schools face and the
issues that families with school-aged children need to be addressed," Rep.
Julie von Haefen, a Democrat from Wake County, said.

Democrats have called the bill an attempt to align North Carolina with
legislation coming out of Florida by Republicans fighting against so-
called critical race theory (CRT) being taught in schools.

The bill does not mention CRT by name.

"This great education state must have an educational system that unites
and teaches our children, not divide and indoctrinate," Torbett said about
the bill.

The bill would also ban teachers from persuading students someone’s race
or gender makes them responsible for past acts like slavery or denying
women the right to vote.

"There is doubt about whether today's teachers can have the same
discussion about women's struggle for equal rights, the right to vote and
the reasons why women are underrepresented in politics and in other
fields," Von Haefen said.

Torbett said the bill wouldn’t change what parts of history can be taught
in schools.

"It prevents discriminatory concepts from being taught as fact or endorsed
in North Carolina school districts," Torbett said.

The bill also has a line that prevents students from feeling discomfort,
guilt, or anguish because of their race or gender while discussing
subjects in school

Representative Kelly Alexander, a Democrat from Mecklenburg county, said
history is uncomfortable.

"When you found out that in the middle passage, where about 12 million
Africans were taken from Africa, about two and a half million of them
would rather have died than to arrive in the Caribbean or to the eastern
shores of what has become the United States," Alexander said.

The bill passed 68-49 to move to the Senate.

The bill also would require schools to tell the NC Department of Public
Instruction when they have a speaker who comes to a school that talks
about the subjects outlined in the bill.

Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Tuesday signed a bill into law
that bars transgender people from using school restrooms that do not align
with the sex listed on their birth certificate, the latest in a series of
GOP-led legislative efforts to restrict LGBTQ rights in schools.

The bill, which cleared the state’s legislature earlier this month, covers
restrooms, locker rooms, changing rooms and shower rooms. It allows
superintendents, teachers and principals to be fined a minimum of $1,000
if they do not comply with the law, which applies to pre-K through 12th
grade in public and charter schools. It goes into effect in late summer,
Sanders’ office said.

The law requires “multiple occupancy restroom or changing areas,” be used
by those of the same sex “as identified on his or her original birth
certificate issued at or near the time of his or her birth,” the law says.

Accommodations must be provided for those who would be prohibited from
using the facilities under the law, according to the bill, but those
accommodations may not include “access to a restroom or changing area that
is designated for use by members of the opposite sex to an individual
while members of the opposite sex of the individual are present or may be
present.”

“The governor has said she will sign laws that focus on protecting and
educating our kids, not indoctrinating them and believes our schools are
no place for the radical left’s woke agenda,” Alexa Henning, a
spokesperson for Sanders, told CNN.

“Arkansas isn’t going to rewrite the rules of biology just to please a
handful of far-left advocates,” she added.

Republican state Rep. Mary Bentley, who sponsored the bill, said on
Facebook that the legislation is “how we restore our biblical values in
our Nation” and told CNN that it will “keep Arkansas children safe and
comfortable in their bathrooms.”

But Melanie Willingham-Jaggers, the executive director of GLSEN, an
organization that works to create non-discriminatory classroom
environments for LGBTQ students, told CNN that Arkansas politicians are
using “trans and nonbinary kids as political pawns. “

“These bathroom bans hurt students’ academic achievement – and the
educators held accountable for students’ success. Discriminatory policies
affect more than just grades: LGBTQ+ students who experience
discrimination, like being prohibited from using the restroom, report
higher levels of depression and lower self-esteem. Enforcing these bills
would be prohibitively expensive and time-consuming for schools and
extraordinarily invasive toward transgender students,” Willingham-Jaggers
said.

And Eric Reece, the Human Rights Campaign’s Arkansas state director,
called the new law “another despicable effort by extremist politicians to
alienate kids who are just trying to navigate their childhoods.”

“Stopping kids from using bathrooms consistent with their gender identity
will not do anything to create jobs, lower costs, or make life easier on
Arkansas families,” Reece said. “This bill should have never reached the
governor’s desk, and she should be ashamed for signing it into law.”

Sanders, a former press secretary of President Donald Trump, has signed a
flurry of controversial bills since taking office in January, including
rolling back a number of child labor protections across the state,
restricting drag show performances in public and banning the use of the
term “Latinx” from official government document use.

Now, Arkansas joins a growing number of states that have approved
transgender bathroom bans in recent years. Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt of
Oklahoma signed a similar bill into law last year that has been challenged
by the American Civil Liberties Union in court.

This story has been updated with additional reaction.

Sounds reasonable to me. If they can't stand the though of going into a male
bathroom because they identify as female.. think how the females think when
a male walks in just because they have the delusion they are female.

Blomme, the first gay judge for Wisconsin, ran as a nonpartisan
election and was for far-left police and judicial reform measures,
like defunding police departments.

“The indictment alleges that on October 30 and November 1, 2020,
Blomme sent a file containing an image of child pornography to
another user via Kik Messenger,” states the federal news release.

In April, a complaint accused him of uploading graphic images and
videos of boys as young as toddlers to an online messaging site.

Blomme appeared before Dane County Judge Valerie Bailey-Rihn on
Thursday by video. He waived his right to a preliminary hearing and
stood mute in the face of the charges.

Ed Buck, a longtime fixture of West Hollywood politics, was
convicted Tuesday of charges that he supplied the methamphetamine
that killed two men during “party and play” encounters at his
apartment.

In a gruesome case of an older white man using his power and money
to exploit the poverty and drug addiction of younger Black men, the
jury found Buck guilty of every charge in a nine-count indictment.
Among them were maintaining a drug den, distribution of
methamphetamine and enticement to cross state lines to engage in
prostitution.

Buck, 66, could spend the rest of his life in prison. His two
convictions for supplying the meth that resulted in death each carry
a minimum sentence of 20 years.

The verdict concluded a two-week trial that featured harrowing
testimony by men hired by Buck to show off their bodies in underwear
and get high on crystal meth and the party drug GHB. Excerpts from
Buck’s hundreds of graphic videos and photos of the drugs-and-sex
sessions left spectators wincing at the trial.


It was only in September 2019, after a third Black man nearly died
of an overdose, that Buck was arrested — a delay that fueled angry
protests by activists who accused law enforcement officials of
failing to aggressively investigate a politically influential white
man. Buck, a onetime candidate for West Hollywood’s City Council,
made more than $500,000 in campaign donations over the last couple
of decades, nearly all of it to Democrats.
