Eiffel Tower is shrouded by smoke as Paris burns into the night: Iconic landmark shines through choking black pall after Yellow Vest protesters set cars ablaze for the seventh weekend as they call on Macron to go. How long before this happens in the US in places like Washington DC, Sacramento, San Francisco, Oakland, Seattle, Portland, etc.?

Truck owners are blocking Tesla Superchargers in ‘ICE-ing’ protests (TSLA). There’s also a movement smoking them out with your diesel exhaust.
Court Orders Veterans Fundraiser to Shut Down and Pay $400,000. Pretty scummy, using Veterans to fill your coffers.
The foundation “did not purchase a single phone card to veterans or their families for years — all while it collected hundreds of thousands in contributions from Minnesotans,” read a statement from the office of Attorney General Lori Swanson.
Along with closing operations, Colorado-based TREA (The Retired Enlisted Association) Memorial Foundation must come up with more than $400,000 that will be distributed to legitimate veterans-support groups in the state, according to the Minnesota Attorney General’s Office, which prevailed in Ramsey County District Court.
UNPREPARED AND OVERWHELMED: Parkland School Shooting. Blame the gun? No. Blame the shooter, incompetent school district and the incompetent Broward Sheriff. Here’s a great synopsis of what took place on 2/14/18.
Two decades after Columbine and five years after Sandy Hook, educators and police still weren’t ready for Parkland.
AWFUL: Triple Amputee Vet Who Started GoFundMe for Wall Reveals His Young Children Are Now Getting Death Threats from Leftists. The left are such assholes. Threatening this guy’s kids is about as low-rent as you can get.
Arrest made in Newman cop shooting; suspect found in Bakersfield. Well that didn’t take long. We’ll have to wait and see if Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf or Jerry Brown come to his aid.
Anti-Trump Oakland mayor insists she ‘did the right thing’ in tipping off illegal immigrants about ICE raid. We wonder if 33 year old Newman police officer Ronil Singh’s wife and child agree with her? His alleged killer is an illegal alien. Perhaps Libby’s text kept him free?

LIBERAL BILLIONAIRE APOLOGIZES FOR FUNDING RUSSIAN BOT ‘FALSE FLAG’ — BUT QUESTIONS REMAIN UNANSWERED. More like Democrat bots. Why isn’t Mueller investigating this one?
Billionaire Reid Hoffman apologized Wednesday for funding an effort to dupe Alabama voters into believing Russian bots were fueling Republican Roy Moore’s failed senatorial bid.
The Hoffman-financed group allegedly used Facebook and Twitter to undermine support for Moore and boost Democrat Doug Jones, who narrowly won the race. Hoffman referred to a group he funded, American Engagement Technologies (AET), as being involved in the effort.

Trump visits Iraq in first trip to combat zone as president. The MSM has been complaining he hasn’t visited the troops. Now they’ll complain because he did. Wait for it.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL.
Kevin Spacey Charged With Felony Sexual Assault. Merry Christmas Kevin. Above is his wacky video he put up.
Here are the most egregious fake news stories of 2018. There was no shortage of fake news in 2018. Reads like a who’s who of the MSM.

Government set to shut down leaving 800,000 federal workers with their pay suspended as Senate adjourns after Democrats dig in and refuse to approve bill with billions assigned to Trump’s border wall. So it’s not really a complete shutdown. We wonder how many of the 800,000 voted Democrat?
The New York Time was against war in Syria before it was for it. Bottom line? No matter what Trump does they’re against it.
Weekly Thread 12/21-12/31/2018. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year or is it Bah Humbug?
Justice Ginsburg has surgery to remove cancerous growth. On her lungs. We wonder if she’ll be undergoing chemo or radiation?
Macron caves in AGAIN! French police will be given pay rises after the Blue Vests joined the Yellow Vest anti-government movement. Macron seems to be setting a new French record for whipping out the white flag.

BREAKING: DC Judge shuts DOWN lawsuit to get Trump’s tax records! Short version: No you snoopy bastards can’t take a peek.
This case presents the question whether a member of the public—here, a nonprofit organization—can use a FOIA request to obtain an unrelated individual’s tax records without his consent. With certain limited exceptions—all inapplicable here—the answer is no. No one can demand to inspect another’s tax records. And the IRC’s confidentiality protections extend to the ordinary taxpayer and the President alike. Accordingly, we affirm the dismissal of the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC)’s lawsuit seeking President Donald J. Trump’s income tax records.
