8F, 20 mph winds, sunny blue skies...trace of snow on the ground...low-stress Christmas day here...heading over to dad's in a bit...he's 98 and still going strong...

It's 53 right now. Expecting to get to 71° as today's high.

I see that NORAD did their annual "Santa Tracker." I guess that's a big hit with the kids.

When government wants to bring charges against someone,
being hard to prove is no impediment.
When government wants to avoid charging a powerful politician,
being hard to prove is the excuse to fail.

Lauren Boebert Baffled by ‘Bricks’ Belonging to a Construction Site (thedailybeast.com)

Right-wing media has long been convinced any pallets of bricks are solely the property of anti-fascist activists.

And on Friday night, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) was tripped up over the conspiracy theory.

“@CapitolPolice why are there 20 pallets of bricks one block from the House Office Buildings?” Boebert tweeted, apparently alluding to the standard bricks the right believes are owned by potential antifa activists.

Yet as it turned out, the bricks are part of an ongoing construction project on First Street in Washington D.C., according to signs right next to the pallets.

As of Saturday afternoon, a crew of construction workers had covered the bricks with tarps and began pouring concrete in the back alley.

Construction workers also told The Daily Beast that police contacted them and mandated that they cover the bricks.

“Police [Metropolitan PD] came and said there might be a protest,” one worker added.

Boebert didn’t return The Daily Beast’s text message request for comment on Friday night.

Back in the summer of 2020, as Black Lives Matter demonstrations swept the country, frequently conspiracy theories spawned surrounding “mysterious” bricks. Furthermore, anytime conservative journalists or activists saw a pallet of bricks in a metropolitan city, they would quickly conclude the bricks were owned by antifa members and intended for destruction.

“There is no evidence of an organized effort to intentionally place bricks near Black Lives Matter protest sites,” the Anti-Defamation League noted at the time.

I'm shortly going to have some tea with friends outside in spite of the fog and lowish temperature.
