  1. According to a certain useless, bloviating failed former lawyer, the US committed an act of war when it seized this oil tanker:

    The oil tanker known as The Skipper was added to the SDN list in 2022 by the Biden/Harris regime. At that time, it was called the Adisa, and it was flying the flag of Panama.

    But when it was identified off the coast of Venezuela this week, it was called The Skipper and it was flying the flag of Guyana, presumably in hope of throwing international police and other law enforcement agencies off the scent.

    Guyana confirmed to multiple press sources Wednesday that it most definitely was not registered in Guyana, so it did not merit Guyana’s legal support in any way.

    This ship is owned by a sanctioned Russian oligarch, Viktor Artemov, and to currently be controlled by the Nigerian shell company Thomarose Global Ventures Ltd.

    And what business is it engaged in these days? Primarily transporting Venezuelan and Iranian oil, to or from Venezuela and Iran, in direct support of Hezbollah and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.

    This means the ship itself, its owners, its crew and its cargo are all essentially under sanctions. The seizure of this vessel, essentially enforcing a warrant issued by the Biden-Harris regime three years ago but apparently never followed up on, is not just legal, but an admirable accomplishment for this administration.

    Oh. One more thing. It seems the tanker seizure has had a measurable effect on Venezuelan oil commerce:

    Reuters
    Venezuela oil exports fall sharply after US tanker seizure, sources and data say
    Venezuela’s oil exports have fallen sharply since the United States seized a tanker earlier this week and imposed fresh sanctions on…
    2 days ago

    Sanctions only work if they are enforced.

  2. The hate crime that just yesterday YLB claimed did not occur because it didn’t show up in Raw Story:

    City of Redlands – City Hall

    Redlands Police investigating incident targeting Jewish family
    As our friends in the Jewish community begin their celebration of Hanukkah, several tragic incidents have occurred across the globe, targeting people simply because of their faith. Unfortunately, Redlands is not immune to these hateful acts, as a local family was targeted because of their festive home decorations celebrating Hanukkah.
    The Redlands Police Department is currently investigating a potential hate crime targeting a Jewish family in the 1300 block of Magnolia Avenue in Redlands Friday, Dec. 12.
    The family had just arrived home Friday evening when a vehicle drove past the victims’ residence, yelled an antisemitic slur and fired several shots. No injuries or damage were reported. No shell casings were found, and home surveillance video showed no muzzle flash leading police to believe the weapon was an airsoft handgun.
    Police believe the family was targeted because of the festive decorations set up outside their home to celebrate Hanukkah.
    “While we are relieved that no injuries occurred, it is important to reaffirm our support of our community members, no matter their faith,” said Mayor Mario Saucedo. “Violence and hatred have no place in Redlands.”
    The Redlands Police Department is actively investigating the incident and will continue to provide additional patrols in the area and around places of worship within the City.

  3. Paris is now a shithole city.

    Tourists Stunned as Paris Cancels Champs-Élysées New Year’s Eve Celebration—How This Will Impact Your Parisian Dream Vacation

    The decision to cancel the celebration was made after serious discussions between city officials and security experts. According to the Paris Police Prefecture, there were increasing risks associated with large gatherings, especially with the rise in illegal immigration and the challenges of ensuring public safety. The authorities cited the potential for disturbances and the difficulty of managing such a large-scale event under these circumstances.
    …
    Paris, like many other European cities, has faced challenges related to illegal immigration. Over recent years, the city has struggled with increased pressure on its resources, from housing to public services, as a result of the influx of migrants. These concerns have been further compounded by security issues linked to public gatherings, which can become difficult to manage when large numbers of people converge in one area.

    Authorities cited the difficulty in managing crowds amid rising security concerns. The Champs-Élysées, with its narrow streets and high concentration of people, posed particular risks. The authorities feared that illegal immigrants, already facing harsh living conditions in the city, might escalate tensions during the event. With the threat of violence or unrest on the rise, the government took decisive action to cancel the event rather than risk the safety of both Parisians and tourists.

    Sometimes terrorism doesn’t even need a violent event to succeed. Just ask Parisians – especially the ones who were counting on tourist dollars that week.

  4. HA libbies had great fun amplifying a video recorded earlier this year when Tesla was testing its driverless vehicles in Austin, and some issues arose WRT school buses on the street.

    The same HA libbies should therefore get a kick out of Waymo’s challenges:

    Waymo Recalls 3,000 Robotaxis After Failing to Stop for School Buses
    Two months after an investigation began, Waymo recalls its driverless taxis.

    At the beginning of October, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration launched a probe into Waymo driverless taxis, alleging that they committed safety violations by failing to stop when a school bus ahead of them had. According to the initial report with the Office of Defects Investigation, the robotaxis would do this “particularly when the bus is boarding or offboarding students.”

  5. It was a few months ago that Elijah told us The Tesla Takedown was working. TSLA shares traded at $238 each at the time.

    They’re now double that price:

    Tesla Inc
    NASDAQ: TSLA
    476.95 USD
    +17.99 (3.92%)today

    Well done, Elijah. I hope your short-covering wasn’t too painful.

  8. Rob Reiner on MSNBC, October:

    Make no mistake; we have a year before this country becomes a full-on autocracy, and democracy completely leaves us.

    Reiner joined Charlie Kirk in wearing a red necktie

    As you know … the legendary actor-director and his wife were found in their L.A.-area house Sunday with their throats slit.

    on his last day. But hey – he died in a democracy.

  9. @ 7

    … Le Pen will, if enabled, will bring back “the good old daze”..

    If you mean a time when people could venture out without being mowed down by a truck on the sidewalk or stabbed on the street by a crazed Islamist, one might just be ready to vote in favor of that next time around.

    Actually, France already voted in favor of it. Macron refused to comply when the government around him collapsed.

    Is the gaslighting troll still claiming that Melania Knauss never had a SSN when she first immigrated to the U.S. to turn tricks for Jeffrey Epstein?

    Even Seattle canceled it’s New Years after 9/11.

    Did a repuke that kreepfuck likes make that decision?

  14. I suppose if we are to be distracted from the growing scandal of GOP’s deep involvement in the sex trafficking of children and the murders of Venezuelan fishermen it ought to be to spread greater awareness about the genocidal atrocities in Sudan by the Fat Hitler alied UAE backing the RSF.

    In El Fasher humanitarian experts are estimating 60,000 non Arab ethnics systematically slaughtered by Trump/UAE backed RSF since they seized control of the city in October. Satellite imagery reveals massive piles of human bodies and the construction of enormous stadium sized incineration pits for disposal of the evidence.

    They’re all muslims. Some of them just happen to have darker skin.

    AnD pUrElY bY cOiNcIdEnCe, those are the muslims that Trump and Rubio are helping bulldoze into massive body piles.
