Oklahoma authorities raid ale house for offering free beer to protesting teachers
Officials in Oklahoma raided an ale house and confiscated two kegs of beer that were intended to be delivered as gifts to protesting teachers.
Local news station KOKH reports that the Patriarch Craft Beer House and Lawn this past weekend announced that it had prepared two kegs of beer as a gift for Oklahoma teachers protesting for greater education funding for public schools.
“We believe in and support our local public school teachers!!” the beer house announced in a Facebook post. “Starting at 3:00 Tuesday, we’ve split the bill with Roughtail Brewing to offer free pours of ‘Respect Party,’ a Belgian table beer from RT! Come help us kill 2 kegs EPS teachers!!”
But the Facebook post ran afoul of Oklahoma’s alcoholic beverages agency, called the ABLE Commission, which proceeded to raid the ale house and seize the kegs.
“According to the ABLE Commission the brewery had not paid a ‘brand registration fee’ for the beer that was to be given away to teachers,” reports KOKH. “So, the ABLE officers took the donated teacher beer and issued a citation to Patriarch.”
Authorities also said it was illegal for ale houses to give away beer above a certain alcohol content under state laws, so Patriarch had to resort to giving protesting teachers cans of “light” beer instead.

Mary Trump: The president ‘gaslights himself’ — and is stuck believing there’s no way he could have lost
President Donald Trump's niece Mary, a psychologist, explained that her uncle might be gaslighting himself at this point in his post-election psychosis.
Speaking to CNN's Don Lemon on Wednesday, Dr. Trump said that the president has convinced himself of his own reality and stuck on the first four stages of denial.
Lemon noted that it doesn't appear any Republicans, staff, or family are willing to reinvent Trump while he continues to dispute the election.
"Do you think he believes that, or he's pulling a thing here, so people think he's a fighter? He's got to pay off campaign debts and so on," asked Lemon.

Mueller prosecutor explains why Biden will be forced to indict Trump whether he wants to or not
When President Barack Obama came into office, he wanted to "move on" from the previous administration's scandals and ultimately ignored President George W. Bush's administration's use of torture on prisoners of war taken during the Iraq and Afghanistan battles.
President-elect Joe Biden has privately told campaign allies that he doesn't want to spend his entire administration dealing with the crimes of President Donald Trump. But with things reaching such an egregious level of lawlessness, he may have no choice.
Former senior prosecutor for special counsel Robert Mueller, Andrew Weissmann, explained to MSNBC's Ali Velshi that Trump's situation is very different from any other president in history.
