Biggest winner: Donald Trump. He delivered on his promises of conservative judges, lower taxes, new jobs and a booming economy.

Biggest loser: Donald Trump: Mullier, the Democrats, and the news media manage to prolong the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax into the second year of his term. And losing the house to the Democrats will only insure that this hoax will be dragged out into the presidential election season.

Biggest winner: justice kavanaugh. He was brutally smeared with unsupported accusations that could have ruined his life. Instead he's now a supreme Court Justice.

Second place: Lindsay Graham. His performance defending kavanaugh made him a hero to millions who did not think of him as such before.

Biggest loser: Angela Merkel. She's gone from very powerful to on her way out and she did it by opposing trump and opening Germany's borders.

Second place: Hillary Clinton. Her pathetic refusal to admit election defeat has made her a laughingstock such that even congressional Democrats want her to go away.

Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf: 'I did the right thing' alerting illegal immigrants of ICE raid

By Jessica Chasmar - The Washington Times - Friday, December 28, 2018

Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf, whose warning about an impending immigration raid in Northern California sparked the ire of the Trump administration earlier this year, said she has no regrets putting the people of her community first.

Ms. Schaaf made national headlines in late February after she sent out a statement tipping off illegal immigrants about an impending raid by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers. Over the next couple of days, ICE nabbed more than 200 migrants, but about 800 others targeted by the agency were able to elude arrest

WT F is wrong in the minds of California leadership

What John Kelly Really Thinks
December 31, 2018 at 10:18 am EST

New York Times:'
“Mr. Kelly is leaving after a 17-month tenure that he described to the paper as a ‘bone-crushing hard job.’ Mr. Kelly was known to tell aides that he had the ‘worst job in the world,’ and frequently told people that Mr. Trump was not up to role of president, two former administration officials said.”

YET ANOTHER THUMBS DOWN

Petraeus Wouldn’t Join Trump Administration
December 31, 2018 at 11:02 am EST

Retired Gen. David Petraeus told the BBC that he doesn’t “envision” returning to a government position, and said his views don’t align with President Trump’s on foreign affairs.

Said Petraeus: “I think there does have to be policy alignment and I’m not sure that exists, I’m afraid.”

A Year of Unprecedented Deception

Washington Post: “When 2018 began, the president had made 1,989 false and misleading claims, according to The Fact Checker’s database, which tracks every suspect statement uttered by the president. By the end of the year, Trump had accumulated more than 7,600 untruths during his presidency — averaging more than 15 erroneous claims a day during 2018, almost triple the rate from the year before.”

“Even as Trump’s fact-free statements proliferate, there is growing evidence that his approach is failing.”

“Fewer than 3 in 10 Americans believe many of his most-common false statements, according to a Fact Checker poll conducted this month. Only among a pool of strong Trump approvers — about 1 in 6 adults in the survey — did large majorities accept several, though not all, of his falsehoods as true.”

Trump’s Worst Weeks of 2018

The Guardian:
“It would be safe to say Donald Trump hasn’t had the best year. From his longtime adviser flipping on him, to inside revelations about the level of his ineptitude, to being named in court filings as having allegedly directed illegal campaign payments, to losing the House of Representatives, to holding some bizarre press conferences, the president has faced a barrage of scandals.”

Lots of losers:
Trump
Kelly, Pruitt, Tillerson, Zinke, and pretty much everyone else who left the Trump Administration (except Haley)
Republicans who dared criticize Trump
Alex Smith (what a horrible injury)
Mark Sanchez (trying to set the all time record for most NFL teams he was a shitty QB for)
Paradise, CA
Anak Krakatoa (in the literal sense)
Cleveland Cavaliers
A lot of NFL head coaches (based on the firings today)
Residents of Leilani Estates, Vacationland, and other communities inundated by Kilauea

Some winners:
Pelosi
House Democrats
Putin
Philadelphia Eagles
Nick Foles
Supporters of a conservative judiciary

Overall, a loser of a year. Stocks down. Global economies slowing. Continued rise of nativism around the world. Gridlock in DC (with one party rule, no less). The toxic cesspool that Trump brought to DC last year and continues to nourish and cultivate.

I'm not particularly optimistic about 2019, since many if not all of these negatives will continue to plague us in the coming year.

The criminal President is the biggest loser..

He's panicking.


While many Americans form their New Year's resolutions, President Trump on New Year's Eve aired his grievances and defended his legacy. The president fired off a flurry of tweets Monday as 2018 concludes with a government shutdown, controversy over troop withdrawal plans in the Middle East, and staffing upheavals.

Mr. Trump is entering 2019 and the halfway mark of his term in office with a partial government shutdown over his border wall, a shutdown that Republican Sen. Richard Shelby says could last a "long time." The president has been forced to defend himself in the wake of Defense Secretary James Mattis' resignation, which came shortly after Mr. Trump's announced withdrawal of troops from Syria. Mr. Trump's outgoing chief of staff John Kelly is speaking out and claiming the administration long abandoned a plan for a concrete border wall. And Democrats officially take control of the House, including all the investigatory powers that entails, later this week.


Without mentioning Kelly directly, Mr. Trump — who has lately suggested the wall could be fencing or "steel slats," claimed a concrete wall was "NEVER ABANDONED."

"An all concrete Wall was NEVER ABANDONED, as has been reported by the media," the president tweeted Monday morning. "Some areas will be all concrete but the experts at Border Patrol prefer a Wall that is see through (thereby making it possible to see what is happening on both sides). Makes sense to me!"

Mr. Trump also took to Twitter to defend his plan to pull thousands of troops from the Middle East, suggesting he has wanted to do so all along.

"If anybody but Donald Trump did what I did in Syria, which was an ISIS loaded mess when I became President, they would be a national hero. ISIS is mostly gone, we're slowly sending our troops back home to be with their families, while at the same time fighting ISIS remnants...I campaigned on getting out of Syria and other places," the president tweeted. "Now when I start getting out the Fake News Media, or some failed Generals who were unable to do the job before I arrived, like to complain about me & my tactics, which are working. Just doing what I said I was going to do!"

Mr. Trump, who submitted paperwork to run in 2020 on his first day in office in 2017, is nearing his term's halfway mark and looking towards his next election, aiming to prove to his base that he's kept his promises. The latest Gallup poll from Dec. 22, the first day of the shutdown, has Mr. Trump at 39 percent approval, 55 percent disapproval.


The president is appearing on Fox News Channel New Year's Eve night to talk about the government shutdown, in what will be his first TV appearance since the partial shutdown began 10 days ago. Mr. Trump has remained in the White House during the holiday shutdown, tweeting at one point that he was "all alone" in the White House "(poor me)," waiting on Democrats to make a deal. But even Republicans are unclear exactly what the president would sign to end the shutdown.

Later Monday morning, the president tweeted, "I'm in the Oval Office. Democrats, come back from vacation now and give us the votes necessary for Border Security, including the Wall. You voted yes in 2006 and 2013. One more yes, but with me in office, I'll get it built, and Fast!"

But reporters at the White House noted that no Marine was guarding the West Wing, as is protocol when the president is indeed in the West Wing.

The biggest winner is Vladimir Putin.

He is going to get the goal of Russian dominance in the middle East.

The Mueller Angry Democrats recently deleted approximately 19,000 Text messages between FBI Agent Lisa Page and her lover, Agent Peter S. These Texts were asked for and INVALUABLE to the truth of the Witch Hunt Hoax. This is a total Obstruction of Justice. All Texts Demanded!”

FACT CHECK:
The special counsel investigation into potential collusion between Russia and Trump's campaign and obstruction of justice continues, and no conclusions have been announced. All aspects of the investigation have widely been covered by the media and there's no evidence to suggest that it is a "witch hunt." The Justice Department inspector general's report suggests the texts slipped through the cracks but were not deliberately deleted. While the messages were initially not captured, they have since been recovered. There is no evidence Strzok and Page tried to prevent the FBI from collecting their texts, the report said.
