Gas Prices Double During Biden-Harris Administration https://www.canyon-news.com/gas-prices-double-during-biden-harris-adminstration/ Sun, 04 Aug 2024 21:33:13 +0000 https://www.canyon-news.com/?p=185390 HOLLYWOOD HILLS—On August 4, Canyon News did a gas price comparison between now and four years ago.

HOLLYWOOD HILLS—On August 4, Canyon News did a gas price comparison between now and four years ago. Today, ARCO in Hollywood is selling unleaded gasoline for $6.09 a gallon or $5.99 a gallon if paying customers are using cash. Chevron is charging $5.27 per gallon while Mobil gas and 7-11 are up to $5.27

According to Gas Buddy Shell gas stations are charging $5.20 per gallon, Speedway, $5.21, and at Mobil and 7-Eleven the cost is $5.25 per gallon.

At these gas stations, gas prices are fluctuating up to $1.10 per gallon.

An AI search for Hollywood Hills indicates the following: Clark #459 $4.99 per gallon, Chevron #90458, $5.79, Sunset Oil Mobil, $5.39, Ampm, $5.09, Shell $5.19, and Mobil $5.29.

According to the Los Angeles Almanac, the average U.S. price per gallon of regular (unleaded) gasoline in January 2020 in Hollywood Hills was $3.42 per gallon. In June of 2022, the price hiked to $6.16 per gallon.

The almanac noted the following observation:

“In June 2022, a new average monthly regular gasoline price record of $6.16 [per gallon] was set for the Los Angeles region. It was the fourth month in a row in which a monthly record was set.

During that month, weekly average prices for a gallon of regular gasoline reached $6.23.

Although the Los Angeles Region ended the last month of 2022 with an average gasoline price lower than a year prior, its 2022 annual average price was the highest on record for the region.”

On March 1, 2022, President Joe Biden announced that he would allow the release of 30 million barrels of gasoline from U.S. oil reserves. Prior to that, the Biden Administration was holding back from using what was in reserve.

A new advertisement from the Trump Campaign states that gas prices doubled during the Biden Administration.

On January 16, 2024, VERIFY Fact-Check results indicate that is true. Here are the results:

“Former President Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign recently released a 30-second ad comparing the two presidents’ records on the economy.”

The ad claims that gas prices, mortgage rates, income, and retirement savings were better during the Trump presidency than under Biden.

When President Biden took office in January of 2021, the average price of a gallon of gas in the United States was $2.42, according to the Energy Information Administration.

By June of 2022, that price had risen to $5.03 per gallon, more than double the original amount. Experts said at the time this spike was driven in part by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the ensuing sanctions against Russia, a major oil exporter, as well as demand for oil post-COVID rebounding faster than supply chains.”

A full report may be found on the VERIFY website.

On July 26, 2024, the Shale Report posted an article entitled, “Where Does Kamala Harris Stand On U.S. Energy.”

In the Shale Report, the author, Felicity Bradstock, reminds viewers that as Attorney General, Kamala Harris filed lawsuits against oil and gas companies.  In 2015, she supported former President Barack Obama’s Clean Power Plan.  When serving as Senator, Harris endorsed many of Joe Biden’s energy policies.

HOLLYWOOD HILLS—A man by the name of Taylor Hazelwood, 27, is suing Netflix for defamation after discovering that his image was used in ‘The Hatchet Wielding Hitchhiker,’ a true crime documentary that was released earlier this year on the streaming platform.

The lawsuit was filed in the state of Texas on Monday, April 10. The suit accuses Netflix of misappropriating the plaintiff’s likeness by using a photo of him holding a hatchet. Hazelwood has no relation to the documentary or the case it explores. He is seeking at least $1 million in damages. 

In the suit, the following statement can be found: “Hazlewood is, of course, beyond angry that Netflix would implicate and connect him to such a salacious and infamous story and individual.”

Hazlewood hopes to vindicate himself to those who have asked him about his inclusion in the documentary and those who may recognize his image, but have not felt comfortable enough to inquire about it. His attorney Angela Buchanan told The Post Monday, April 17, that this exposure will go on for the rest of his life.

He is also suing Netflix over the documentary, claiming that the company is “ruthlessly exploiting a hero’s life story for money,” according to the Fresno Bee. 

Hazelwood is a 27 year-old respiratory therapist from Kentucky. In June 2019, he posted an image of himself holding a hatchet. According to The Post, Hazelwood posted the image connecting it to his favorite childhood story “Hatchet” written by Gary Paulsen. The photo went unnoticed for some time until it appeared in the Netflix documentary. 

In the documentary, the narrator describes a “stone-cold killer” as Hazelwood’s image appears on the screen. A text appears that reads, “you can’t trust anyone” next to the plaintiff’s image. 

“The Hatchet Wielding Hitchhiker” explores the case of Caleb Lawrence McGillvary who became famous by appearing in a viral video. In the video, he recounted a crime he witnessed while hitchhiking. As a result of the viral nature of the original video, McGillvary received extensive offers from various news and entertainment sources seeking interviews and appearances. This resulted in him appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on February 11, 2013. By 2019, he was found guilty of the murder of Joseph Galfy and is currently serving 57 years in prison.

In response to the newly released documentary, McGillvary claimed that Netflix exploited him for profit.

HOLLYWOOD HILLS—Netflix are accused of using footage of a Hollywood Hills home without the consent of the owner. Footage of the home is said to have been used on a trailer to promote “Buying Beverly Hills.”

The show follows the clients and agents within Mauricio Umansky’s real estate agency “The Agency” in Beverly Hills. The Agency are co-defendants in the suit.

Umansky is married to former “Days Of Our Lives” actress and reality TV personality Kyle Richards. The couple has three children together.

Eight episodes of the show are available on Netflix. Running time for each episode is between 40-48 minutes. Netflix have yet to confirm if the show will run for second season.

Aharon Dihno, 60, his two minor children and his partner are the plaintiffs in the suit. The suit alleges footage that could only have been captured by a drone shows the interior and exterior of the home.

The suit also claims the advertisement caused unwanted sightseers to visit the home, harassing phone calls from real estate agents and this compromised their privacy and safety.

Mauricio Umansky has previously appeared on reality shows “Entertainment Tonight” and “Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles.”

His wife Kyle Richards has appeared on 9 season of the reality show “The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills” since 2010. Umansky was featured in a number of episodes from 2012-2015.

HOLLYWOOD HILLS—Silent Films Live III, a series of benefit concerts, will be held at Bandrika Studios on April 14 at 8 p.m. and April 15 between 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. All of the proceeds will be given to Education Through Music-LA’s In School Music Education Program which provides comprehensive music education to at-risk schools and underserved communities across Los Angeles. 

The event features Hollywood’s original 1,500 pipe Wurlitzer organ which dates back to 1928, when it resided on the Fox Studios lot. The organ was used in classic film scores including “The Sound of Music,” “Journey to the Center of the Earth,” “Patton” and others. The program will feature seven silent films performed by the USC Trojan Chamber Orchestra along with a special 100th anniversary presentation of silent film star Harold Lloyd’s “Safety Last.” Lloyd’s granddaughter, Suzanne Lloyd will be hosting the event and the award-winning conductor Angel Velez will be conducting the orchestra.  

The concert brings together a group of highly acclaimed film and visual media composers to “help reimagine new scores to classic silent films.” 

The films being featured are:  

“Robin Hood” – original music by Emilie Bernstein (Landis: Just Watch Me, Prisoner of the Prophet)

“Why Worry?” – original music by Jeff Cardoni (Tony Hawk: Until the Wheels Fall Off, Me Time)

“Metropolis” – original music by Jesse Carmichael (Maroon 5, Thrive)

“The Lost World”- original music by Sherri Chung (Kung Fu, Riverdale)

“Faust” – original music by Chanda Dancy (Devotion, Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance with Somebody)

“Sherlock Jr.” – original music by Daniel Hart (Pete’s Dragon, The Old Man and the Gun) & Natalie Holt (Obi-Wan Kenobi, Loki)

“The Cure” – original music by Arturo Sandoval (The Mule, Richard Jewel)

Roger Ebert explained in an interview that the 1927 film Metropolis was “one of the great achievements of the silent era,” and that it “was a work so audacious in its vision and so angry in its message that it is, if anything, more powerful today than when it was made.”

Lane Roth of Film Quarterly called “Metropolis” a “seminal film” because of its concerns with the “profound impact technological progress has on man’s social and spiritual progress” and concluded that “ascendancy of artifact over nature is depicted not as liberating man, but as subjugating and corrupting him.”

A 2006 review of “Faust” in The New York Times called it “one of the most astonishing visual experiences the silent cinema has to offer.” When the film first came out in 1926, German critics disliked the adaptation, Gösta Ekman’s performance and it was a failure in the box office. Shinji Aoyama, a Japanese film director, considers “Faust” to be one of the greatest films of all time. 

A silent auction will also be held at 7 p.m. before the showing on both the 14th and 15th. Tickets range from $50 to $100 and are available at: www.silentfilmslive.com.
