Stanford Law School protesters faced criticism after heckling Trump-appointed U.S. Circuit Court Judge Kyle Duncan during an event on campus and for plastering the names and faces of campus Federalist Society members all over the school last week.Now they are demanding their names be redacted from a Washington Free Beacon report covering the incident, arguing that keeping their names public could invite “abuse and harassment.”Aaron Sibarium, a reporter for the Free Beacon, said not so fast.STANFORD LAW PROTESTERS DEMAND TO HAVE NAMES REDACTED FROM NEWS REPORTS: ‘NOT HOW THE FIRST AMENDMENT WORKS’ Tirien Steinbach, the Stanford University Law School associate dean of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, slams U.S. Circuit Court Judge Kyle Duncan during his presentation at the school as an invited guest on March 9, 2023.

We’re not going to do that,'” he told Fox News’ Will Cain on Sunday. “For one reason, they just have no reasonable right or expectation of anonymity given that they were caught on tape and protesting in a highly public forum…”The other thing too is that they didn’t just shout down a sitting federal judge, they also posted the names and faces of every member of the Stanford Federalist Society, every board member who helped invite him,” he said. “They posted those names and faces around the school in a concerted effort to shame their peers and pressure them out of hosting the event.”NEW AUDIO OFFERS INSIGHT INTO STANFORD STUDENTS’ WILD DISRUPTION OF FEDERAL JUDGE: ‘YOU DON’T RESPECT US!’ A general view of the buildings of the Main Quadrangle and Hoover Tower on the campus of Stanford University in Palo Alto, California.

A key precondition of the rule of law is that the law applies equally to everyone… and yet, these students seem to think that the rules don’t apply to them.”He blasted the “double standard” of protesters demanding their names being revoked from reports while they sought to publicly shame their conservative counterparts for engaging in free expression by hosting Duncan at the on-campus event.”It’s antithetical to the rule of law. Pretty soon, I think that double standard is going to be more mainstream among lawyers and judges,” he said.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP

National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said Sunday there are no indications the White House is preparing for violent protests by Donald Trump supporters after the former president said he expects to be arrested this week.Trump called for protests in a social media post Saturday, claiming that “illegal leaks” from the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office have led him to believe he will be arrested.Kirby addressed the situation during an appearance on “Fox News Sunday,” saying he wasn’t aware of any potential violence related to the former president’s call for protests.”We’re always monitoring the situation here as best we can,” Kirby said. “And we obviously don’t want to see any activity grow violent, certainly nothing to the extent that we saw on January 6, but we’re watching this. We’ll watch it of course, closely.  National Security Council spokesman John Kirby speaks during a press briefing at the White House, March 2, 2023.

But obviously, we work hand in glove with local and state authorities all around the country, and we’ll continue to watch this as best we can.”The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office is reportedly preparing to issue an indictment for alleged hush money payments that Trump made as a presidential candidate in 2016.

JERUSALEM—Two of the world’s most authoritarian leaders – Russia’s Vladimir Putin and Syria’s Bashar Al-Assad, who are responsible for the 21st century’s bloodiest wars – met in the Kremlin Thursday to discuss an expansion of Moscow’s military presence in Syria. The pact between two of America’s top foes raises new questions about whether the Biden administration is in a defensive posture and rapidly losing its influence in a critical region of the world.”We think that expanding the Russian presence in Syria is a good thing,” Assad told Russia’s state-controlled news agency RIA in an interview. “Russia’s military presence in any country should not be based on anything temporary.” Russian President Vladimir Putin and Syrian President Bashar Assad meet at the Kremlin in Moscow, Wednesday, March 15, 2023. (Vladimir Gerdo, Sputnik, Kremlin Pool Photo via AP)JOHN BOLTON WARNS US ‘SITTING STILL’ AS CHINA, RUSSIA ‘SHORE UP THEIR RELATIONS’When Putin intervened in the Syrian civil war in 2015, it helped tip the balance in Assad’s favor, ensuring the survival of the Syrian strongman despite Western demands that he be toppled. Assad has waged a war against his population, resulting in the killing of over 500,000 people, including the murder of Syrians with the use of chemical warfare.The prospective beefed up presence of Russian troops and military bases in Syria would present another challenge to the Biden administration’s Middle East policy. U.S. national security experts see China and Russia outmaneuvering the United States in a region where Washington has historically wielded great influence. Rebekah Koffler, a former analyst at the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency, told Fox News Digital that Putin started to outmaneuver the U.S. in the Middle East with President Obama, when Biden was his vice president. “Putin tricked Obama and by proxy Biden into letting the Russians transfer chemical weapons out of Syria, back in 2013. Instead, the Russians saw an opening and seized the opportunity to build up its military presence, trying to tip the balance in the Middle East in Russia’s favor. Putin is building an anti-U.S. coalition: Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, Syria,” she noted.Koffler, who authored the book “Putin’s Playbook,” added that the Russian leader “wants the Biden administration to think that he can help with the Iran nuclear deal, a peace settlement in Syria, but in reality, Putin will not do anything that aligns with U.S. strategic interests, especially now that U.S. is backing Ukraine. U.S. and Russia’s security interests are diametrically opposed.”Fox News Digital reported this week that America’s three main adversaries – Russia, China and Iran – plan to hold combined naval military drills in the Gulf of Oman. Just over a week ago, China brokered a rapprochement deal between archenemies Saudi Arabia and the Iranians.

(Sana via AP)CHINA DENIES HIDDEN MOTIVES AFTER BROKERING TALKS BETWEEN SAUDI ARABIA, IRANA spokesperson for the U.S. State Department told Fox News Digital, “The evidence on Russia is clear. No matter where they are involved militarily, local civilians pay the price for the Kremlin’s destructive playbook that kills civilians to the benefit of Putin. This is clear in Russia’s military campaigns in Syria, Libya and Ukraine, where they use military and paramilitary forces to exploit civilians in conflict zones to advance Moscow’s own selfish interests.”The spokesperson added, “Russia’s military campaign in Syria in support of the Assad regime has led to massive destruction, as well as the death or displacement of hundreds of thousands of civilians. These military operations undermine conditions for a political resolution to the Syrian conflict, and Russia has not exerted any real effort to induce meaningful changes in the Syrian government’s appalling behavior toward its own people. ” The State Department spokesperson stressed that “Russia’s focus should be on advancing a political resolution in Syria as outlined by U.N. Security Council Resolution 2254, rather than bringing more suffering to the Syrian people.” Resolution 2254, from eight years ago, outlines a peace process to stop the bloodshed in Syria.Michael Rubin, a senior fellow and Mideast expert at the American Enterprise Institute, told Fox News Digital, “Standing by allies matters. Russia stood by its ally without qualms. Not only will Assad reward Putin, but this move sends a signal to every other leader in the region. This isn’t just about Russia’s embrace of Syria. It’s about Russia’s courtship of Egypt and Saudi Arabia.”Rubin added, “We have to calibrate policy to that reality. The Syrian Kurds are allies and friends. If Turkey is backing Islamists proxies, and Russia is doubling down on Assad, we should double down on the Kurds. They are more progressive, able fighters, and want a pro-Western orientation. The question isn’t only what the United States should do but what it should not do.”Syria is a fragmented country, with territory controlled by Turkey, Syrian Kurds, Russia and Assad.Rubin said, “This confirms that Syria will not be unified. At best, with Turkey occupying a zone and now Russia doubling down, Syria will be the new 1990s-era Somalia, divided into zones of influence and governed by different local warlords.” Syrian refugees pose for a photograph after their tents flooded from the rain at a temporary refugee camp in the eastern Lebanese town of Al-Faour near the border with Syria. (AP)BLINKEN TRAVELS TO AFRICA AS NEW REPORT SHOWS CHINA, RUSSIA ECLIPSING US ARMS SALES TO CONTINENTRubin warned about the dangers of sending aid to Syria’s regime. “Any funding we give to international organizations under the guise of reconstruction aid to Syria will essentially reward a Russian proxy for mass murder. Money is fungible. What we give in the name of reconstruction essentially helps Assad and Putin build a base. The fact that Assad offers this shows where his priorities are. Let’s not be naïve,” he said.Assad delivered to Moscow a series of tangible rewards during his visit. Assad told Putin, “We believe that if Russia has the desire to expand bases or increase their number, it is a technical or logistical issue.””Having more bases in Syria is beneficial for Russia and Putin will likely accept the offer,” Koffler warned. “Since Russian and U.S.forces operate in proximity in Syria already, expanding Russia’s foothold in the region is giving Putin more leverage and the Russian forces more opportunities to collect intelligence on U.S. war fighting tactics, military hardware, etc. The Russians study U.S. ways of war thoroughly, in order to find vulnerabilities and develop counter-strategies.”Syria stood beside Russia on the issue of Ukraine, Assad said. “Because this is my first visit since the start of the special military operation in Ukraine, I would like to repeat the Syrian position in support of this special operation,” Assad told Putin, according to a Kremlin transcript.Syria recognizes the territories of Ukraine that Russia has seized as Russian, Assad said. “I say that these are Russian territories, and even if the war had not happened, these are historically Russian territories,” Assad told RIA.

The small base east of Aleppo was recaptured from Islamic State fighters in 2017. Press queries sent to the Russian government were not returned.Reuters contributed to this report.

Women who choose to stay at home to care for their families and households are hardly unique to American society, but social media users today appear fascinated with “tradwives” (short for traditional wives) and the lifestyle content they’re creating for others.That fascination has shown itself largely through negative commentary.”Many [people have] questioned the tradwife philosophy and why any sentient being would adhere to it,” said Deborah Etienne, a content specialist from Boston. “Many others [have] deemed the trend alarming, frightening, creepy, a too-good-to-be-true alternative to life, a way to cheat your way out of hard work, a form of anti-worker activity similar to union busting and a ‘White supremacy’ concept,” Etienne also told Fox News Digital in an interview.MOM OF 12 KIDS, PREGNANT FOR 16 YEARS IN A ROW, SHARES STRONG MESSAGE OF FAITH: ‘CHILDREN ARE A BLESSING’But those who practice the tradwife lifestyle are pushing back on the critics. Said one tradwife from Virginia to Fox News Digital, “Honestly, I love this lifestyle. And I feel like I always wanted it.”Read on for more revelations about — and controversy connected to — today’s “tradwife” lifestyle.What is a ‘tradwife’?Tradwives, a newly coined term for traditional wives, is a subculture of housewives who believe in clear gender roles, the importance of homemaking and a patriarchal marriage, according to many women who self-identify as tradwives.Tradwives are women who honor femininity, care for their husbands, children and family, and value the state of their home more than they do a salary, yet are not subservient, according to the Darling Academy, a British website.”Though a traditional housewife may submit to her husband, she is not considered of lesser importance to him, or allows herself to be in a position that threatens her right,” says the group’s “What is a Trad Wife?” guide. “A traditional woman’s place is not under a man’s feet, but under his wing, by his side.”Over 152,000 mentions of ‘tradwife’ Etienne of Boston has been examining the rise of tradwife mentions on social media since 2022 for Brandwatch, a MarTech company that analyzes online public conversations.”Over the past year, there were more than 152,000 mentions of the term ‘tradwife’ on social media,” she told Fox News Digital.MORE COLLEGE-EDUCATED WOMEN ARE HAVING BABIES BEFORE MARRIAGE: STUDY The term tradwife grew in the last year and reportedly had its “largest conversation spike of more than 25,000 mentions” — a 128% increase in monthly conversation volume surrounding tradwives, said Etienne of Brandwatch data. From December 2021 to December 2022, the social media hashtag #tradwife reportedly received over 4.6 million impressions, according to Brandwatch.  (iStock)From December 2021 to December 2022, the social media hashtag #tradwife received over 4.6 million impressions, Brandwatch found.Yet 92.73% of searchers had a negative view of tradwives — while just 7.26% of searchers had a positive sentiment, according to Brandwatch data.Tradwives have been “pushing back” on this, said Etienne. They believe society could benefit from adopting elements of the tradwife lifestyle because “the most important duty is taking care of one’s children.” Tradwives view themselves as homemakers, with a family-first focus. (iStock)Online content about tradwives apparently “skyrocketed” after the COVID-19 pandemic as people used social media differently than before, according to Brandwatch.”Some social users expressed that platform algorithms are boosting both tradwives and sex work … instead of women workers fighting back for better rights,” Etienne said. “Many users questioned the tradwife philosophy and questioned why any sentient being would adhere to it.”

A California school board is suing Google, TikTok and Snapchat for causing unprecedented mental health consequences among young people.TikTok, Snapchat and YouTube – which is owned by Google – are purposefully designed to be addictive platforms that have “carefully cultivated” a mental health crisis among U.S. students, a Silicon Valley school board alleged in a recent lawsuit.Thus, the San Mateo County school board maintains, schools are left to handle the mental health implications.Psychotherapist and author Thomas Kersting told “Fox & Friends Weekend,” Sunday, that schools are now part-academic and part-mental health institutions because of an “overload” of students with mental health conditions — some likely caused or exacerbated by social media.YOUTUBE, TIKTOK AND SNAPCHAT SUED BY SILICON VALLEY SCHOOL BOARD FOR ‘MONETIZING MISERY’Public safety policy attorney Donte Mills joined the segment, telling co-host Joey Jones that, despite the dangerous stigma that has become synonymous with social media, the lawsuit will “be difficult to hold up in court.” It will be hard to prove that the companies knew their technology would be harmful upon release, Mills stressed. Person using TikTok. (CyberGuy.com)”These tech companies are definitely capitalizing off of it; they’re making a lot of money off of it,” said Mills. But, he said, “I don’t know if anybody truly understood what the impact of social media would be.”Mills said the Silicon Valley lawsuit would investigate social media companies’ internal documents and studies to prove they knew their products were harmful. The lawsuit also alleges that the tech companies acted with negligence, racketeering, public nuisance and violation of unfair competition law. CHINA CAN USE TIKTOK AS ‘PROPAGANDA’ TOOL, ‘ABSOLUTELY’ SHOULD BE BANNED, SEN. WARNER SAYS”Did they intentionally addict people even though they knew it would be harmful?” Mills posited. “That’s going to be hard to prove.” Nonetheless, Kersting said the move to file suit may be “one of the greatest messages” to take place that will “that will help households, schools and kids.”CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPKersting said school districts making moves like San Mateo County’s – including one in Seattle, which filed a similar lawsuit against the same three companies in January – are “exactly the type of actions that need to take place.” Fox News’ Jon Michael Raasch contributed to this report.
