|Lie=Plant Based Diet Benefits
|Topic=Not a lie!
|Accusation=A group named "Vegan Friendly" has produced a humorous video Entitled "Hell of a Steak" claims that, if diners had to pay the "real" cost of a steak in a restaurant, it would be many, many times more expensive.

View the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjaH3HW3jcg

The video claims that the actual cost of land, water and feed for one single cow far outstrips it value as food, and, more important, the practice of eating meat is devastating the environment. The implication is that, by eating a plant based diet, we are taking a big step to protect the environment. While this claim is generally true, it does not tell a complete story about other human activities that are also playing havoc on the environment. The video ends with the statement, "A plant based diet is the single biggest way to reduce your environmental impact and fight global warming."

A plant based diet may not be the biggest single step an individual can take to protect the environment. The newspaper, The Guardian, states:

The literature on the impact of reducing or cutting out meat from your diet varies. Some studies show that choosing vegetarian options would only reduce greenhouse gas emissions per person by 3%. Others show a reduction in emissions per person of 20-30% for halving meat consumption.

“Probably the most important thing to point out is that emissions are often viewed as the only metric of sustainability: they are not. Impacts of farming systems on carbon sequestration, soil acidification, water quality, and broader ecosystem services also need to be well considered,” said Matthew Harrison, systems modelling team leader at the Tasmanian Institute of Agriculture. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2021/apr/25/going-vegan-can-switching-to-a-plant-based-diet-really-save-the-planet

The BBC states that:

Switching to a plant-based diet can help fight climate change, UN experts have said.
A major report on land use and climate change says the West's high consumption of meat and dairy produce is fuelling global warming. But scientists and officials stopped short of explicitly calling on everyone to become vegan or vegetarian.
They said that more people could be fed using less land if individuals cut down on eating meat. The document, prepared by 107 scientists for the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), says that if land is used more effectively, it can store more of the carbon emitted by humans. https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-49238749

Finally, the news service Vox states that:

A new study published in Science reveals just how important tackling food-related emissions is to mitigating the swiftly accelerating climate crisis. For the first time, the researchers isolated food system emissions and showed that these emissions alone will most likely put the Paris agreement climate targets out of reach. https://www.vox.com/21562639/climate-change-plant-based-diets-science-meat-dairy

In conclusion, a plant-based diet seems unequivocally very friendly to the environment. Adopting such a diet may well be an important step that an individual can take to help the cause. But it may not be the "single biggest thing."

|Lie=Trum is Losing His MoJo
|Topic=Not a lie!
|Accusation=Trump’s critics say the once-dominant Trump is losing his mojo.

Trump’s endorsement is sought by lots of Republican primary candidates, many of whom have journeyed to his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida to pay homage.
On the other hand, the indifferent performance of some Trump-endorsed candidates has fueled doubts about the former president’s political judgement and power.

Former President Trump is taking a fresh gamble with his political capital by endorsing former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R).

His endorsement of former Sen. David Perdue (R-Ga.) against incumbent Gov. Brian Kemp (R) in Georgia has not marked any sea-change in the race. A Fox News poll last month showed Kemp leading by 11 points among Republican primary voters.

Similar questions have swirled around Rep. Ted Budd (R-N.C.), whom Trump endorsed in a Senate primary in the Tar Heel State. Former Gov. Pat McCrory (R) appears to have the advantage there.

Trump’s pick in Pennsylvania’s Senate primary, Sean Parnell, suspended his campaign late last year amid a messy custody battle with his estranged wife. And Trump last month rescinded his endorsement of Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) in Alabama’s Senate primary — which in turn prompted Brooks to speak out about Trump’s calls to overturn the 2020 election.

One former GOP congressman who is critical of Trump argued that “he’s a diminished figure. That’s not to say he’s not dangerous — especially in a Republican primary — but he’s diminished.” The former congressman said that Trump’s interventions tended to be more powerful when they were negative — lambasting a candidate for supposed disloyalty, for example — than when they took the positive shape of an endorsement.

|Accusation=Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn said of nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson that “You have made clear that you believe judges must consider critical race theory when deciding how to sentence criminal defendants.”

Blackburn was referring to a 2015 speech in which Jackson described how she encouraged students to study federal sentencing policy as an academic area implicating many topics.

“Sentencing is just plain interesting on an intellectual level, in part because it melds together myriad types of law — criminal law, of course, but also administrative law, constitutional law, critical race theory, negotiations, and to some extent, even contracts,” Jackson said in her speech. “And if that’s not enough to prove to them that sentencing is a subject ... worth studying, I point out that sentencing policy implicates and intersects with various other intellectual disciplines as well, including philosophy, psychology, history, statistics, economics, and politics.”

In other words, she indicates that critical race theory might be one of many potential factors in play in sentencing, not a mandatory consideration.

In the interview published Monday. she said that while she did attend the Jan. 6 rally to protest President Biden's election. she left before Donald Trump took the stage at noon. and before rioters broke into the U.S. Capitol. "I was disappointed and frustrated that there was violence that happened following a peaceful gathering of Trump supporters on the Ellipse." she told the Free Beacon. The interview was apparently an effort by Mrs. Thomas to deal with critical articles that have appeared recently in The New York Times and the New Yorker. describing her extensive conservative political activities. That has led some to suggest that her husband. Justice Thomas. should recuse himself from issues in which his wife has played a prominent role. Those range from her activities on behalf of Trump to her speeches condemning the Affordable Care Act.

Ron Wyden of Oregon. chairman of the Senate Finance Committee. said the revelation [ABOUT GINNI THOMAS’S TEXTS DURING THE JAN 6 RIOTS] cast doubts on Clarence Thomas’ ability to hear key cases. “In light of new reporting from numerous outlets. Justice Thomas’ conduct on the Supreme Court looks increasingly corrupt.” Wyden said in a statement. “Judges are obligated to recuse themselves when their participation in a case would create even the appearance of a conflict of interest. A person with an ounce of common sense could see that bar is met here.” he said. Wyden noted that Thomas had not recused himself in cases related to the 2020 election. and to the Jan. 6 riot. “Justice Thomas participated in cases related to Donald Trump’s efforts to rig and then overturn the 2020 election. while his wife was pushing to do the same.” Wyden said. “He was the lone dissent in a case that could have denied the January 6th Committee records pertaining to the same plot his wife supported.” he added. “At the bare minimum. Justice Thomas needs to recuse himself from any case related to the January 6th investigation. and should Donald Trump run again. any case related to the 2024 election.” the senator said. Wyden is the first senator to publicly call for Clarence Thomas not to hear Jan. 6 cases since the texts were reported.

Fight disinformation. Get a daily recap of the facts that matter. Sign up for the free Mother Jones newsletter. A newly discovered laptop, the FBI, a trove of emails, October, a presidential election—it sounds familiar. Especially when you add in a Russian disinformation campaign. On Wednesday, the New York Post released what it hailed as a bombshell: an unidentified computer repair store owner in Delaware had come to possess a laptop that contained Hunter Biden emails (and purportedly a sex tape), the hard drive and computer was seized by the FBI, the store owner at some point passed a copy of the hard drive to Rudy Giuliani, and one of the emails suggested that Hunter, who served on the board of Ukrainian energy company Burisma, may have in 2015 introduced a Burisma official to his dad, Vice President Joe Biden. The story depicts this as a big scandal, and Guiliani tweeted, “Much more to come.”

But the key point of the article was predicated on false information that Giuliani
has been spreading for a long time—and that appears to be linked to a Russian disinformation operation that the Post neglected to note in its article. That is, the Post piece, based on an unproven smear, is in sync with Moscow’s ongoing effort to influence the 2020 election to help President Donald Trump retain power. (The FBI and other parts of the US intelligence community have stated that Vladimir Putin is once again attacking the US political system to boost Trump.)
And this story presents a challenge to the American media: how to report on an orchestrated campaign to affect the election that relies on disinformation, salacious and sensational material, and the revival of allegations that have already been debunked.

|Lie=Biden's Infrastructure Claim
|Topic=Factual Lie
|Accusation=In his State of The Union Address, Biden, speaking about his Infrastructure Bill, said: “The single biggest investment in history was a bipartisan effort.”

—The fact is, it wasn’t that historic. The bill was big, adding $550 billion in fresh spending on roads, bridges, and broadband Internet over five years. But measured as a proportion of the U.S. economy, it is slightly below the 1.36% of the nation’s gross domestic product that was spent on infrastructure, on average, during the first four years of the New Deal, according to an analysis by the Brookings Institution. It is even further below the roughly 2% spent on infrastructure in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/ap-fact-check-bidens-claims-in-his-state-of-union-address

—Whatever Biden’s or Buttigieg’s lip-service to climate goals, this money to DOTs is likely to go in large part to expanding capacity in ways that ramp up driving nationwide,” says Jeff Speck, author of the book Walkable City. It does not further climate goals.
https://www.governing.com/now/the-infrastructure-bill-may-not-be-so-historic-after-all

—Historians, economists and engineers interviewed by The Associated Press welcomed Biden’s efforts. But they stressed that $1 trillion was not nearly enough to overcome the government’s failure for decades to maintain and upgrade the country’s infrastructure. The politics essentially forced a trade-off in terms of potential impact not just on the climate but on the ability to outpace the rest of the world this century and remain the dominant economic power.

Ars Technica Article:
Missouri Gov. Mike Parson today threatened to prosecute and seek civil damages from a St. Louis Post-Dispatch journalist who identified a security flaw that exposed the Social Security numbers of teachers and other school employees, claiming that the journalist is a "hacker" and that the newspaper's reporting was nothing more than a "political vendetta" and "an attempt to embarrass the state and sell headlines for their news outlet." The Republican governor also vowed to hold the Post-Dispatch "accountable" for the supposed crime of helping the state find and fix a security vulnerability that could have harmed teachers.
