The French Socialists rioting against taxes

[CharlesDavenport]

Protests grew by so-called "yellow jacket" activists. The protest started over a rise in fuel tax but descended into violence sparked by general anger at rises in the cost of living in France.

More than 100 people were injured and 412 were arrested during France's worst urban riot in years.

What a dilemma. Against high taxes and high cost of living. Do they know how socialism is funded?

You're confiscating too much of other people's money for me. I can't afford it!

[Supersteeler]

Isn't the entire Progessive/Socialist mantra, "I will demand that people live by a set of rules that I refuse to live by myself?" Seems to me that they are always in favor of taxing/punishing people for whatever they can think of just as long as they never have to abide by it themselves. Those rules are for the peons.

This philosophy also helps explain why one out of every ten cars I see have California plates on them.

I've lived in AZ for the last 35 years and have never seen anything like this. People are bailing Cali.

Macron on the Brink: More Water Cannon, Tear Gas, and Stun Grenades

Riot police have deployed water cannon, tear gas, and stun grenades against protesters on the Champs-Élysées in Paris, France, as the “Yellow Jackets” stage their third major rally against President Emmanuel Macron’s “green” tax hikes on fuel.

The clashes on the famous avenue leading to Napoleon Bonaparte’s iconic Arc de Triomphe come as Macron is in Argentina for the G20, threatening to disrupt a planned trade deal between the European Union and South America’s Mercosur bloc over a disagreement with Brazil’s new president Jair Bolsonaro — dubbed the “Trump of the Tropics” — over a disagreement on climate change.

The globalist poster boy’s “green” policies are running into substantial opposition at home, however, with the “Yellow Jackets” movement which has united the anti-establishment left with the populist right in a loose, seemingly leaderless coalition in defence of the French working class bringing the presidency of the man who once boasted he would govern “like Jupiter” to the brink.

Same thing here in Oregon. People in California are gobbling up the homes here in Grants Pass. A lot of them will rent them out until they are ready to retire. Then they hope to make a bundle by selling their houses in California and move up here permanent. It makes perfect sense. Rent it out and someone makes your payment for you and if you're lucky you get a tax break.

And that's mostly the people who earn money and pay the freight. Cali will be left with only the very rich and the very poor.

I wouldn't bank on that long term. See above. Less people = less demand for housing = lower housing prices.

The trouble with that is they bring the same line of voting mentality they have in California. Those ******* have just about ruined it in Florida. So many retire to the south and vote Democrat. Another 10 years and we will be overrun if we don't counter them. Bunch of dumb ***** would have state taxes and tolls all over to pay for their free ****. That's what the tourists are for and we get plenty of them.

Already turned VA blue. Only thing left keeping it afloat are the rural areas and the barely red general assembly. Reps will be hard pressed to win another general election

Someday in the near future Tibs will be able to go from state to state in his Birkenstock's and feel right at home here in the South

Katie suggests it's not the taxation they're pissed about, it's unfettered globalism stuffed down their throats by Macron, Merkel, and the rest of the EU politicians hell bent on forcing immigration, climate legislation and taxation on them, not just a few coins at the pump. Note the videos of police removing their helmets and the firemen turning their backs and marching away from the local pols.

Frexit!

Neil deGrasse Tyson denies misconduct allegations as Fox, Nat Geo review claims

Neil deGrasse Tyson disputed sexual misconduct allegations made against him by three women as the broadcasters of his show said they were reviewing the claims.

The producers of "Cosmos" said in a statement that they are "committed to a thorough investigation of this matter."

Katelyn N. Allers, an associate professor of physics and astronomy at Bucknell University in Pennsylvania, told Patheos in a report published Thursday that Tyson allegedly grabbed her arm while looking at a tattoo she has of the solar system and reached into her dress while looking for the dwarf planet Pluto. The incident allegedly took place at an after party for an American Astronomical Society event in 2009.

Allers said that while the experience was not an assault, it showed Tyson was capable of “creepy behavior,” according to Patheos.

“My experience with him is he’s not someone who has great respect for female bodily autonomy,” she said

In his statement, Tyson said he has a “professional history with the demotion of Pluto, which had occurred officially just three years earlier.”

“And while I don’t explicitly remember searching for Pluto at the top of her shoulder, it is surely something I would have done in that situation,” he said.

“I was reported to have ‘groped’ her by searching ‘up her dress,’ when this was simply a search under the covered part of her shoulder of the sleeveless dress.

Tyson said he had only just learned that she found the behavior
creepy.”

“That was never my intent and I’m deeply sorry to have made her feel that way,” he said.

A second accuser, Ashley Watson, told Patheos that she quit her job as Tyson’s assistant this summer because of alleged unwanted sexual advances.

Watson said Tyson invited her over to his apartment one evening to share a bottle of wine and “unwind for a few hours,” according to Patheos. Watson said she agreed to go for a glass of wine because she felt pressure to impress him, Patheos reported.

Tyson allegedly told Watson that human beings need “releases” in life and asked if there were any releases she needed, according to Patheos.

As she got up to leave, Tyson allegedly stopped her and said he wanted to show her a “Native American handshake” that he knew, Watson said, according to Patheos.

That handshake involved “holding hands tightly, making eye contact, and feeling for each other’s pulse,” according to Patheos.

“Tyson then allegedly put his hands on her shoulders, and said he wanted to hug her, but if he did, he’d ‘just want more,’” the website said.

Yellow Vests Riot in Paris, but Their Anger is Rooted Deep in France

GUÉRET, France — At the bare bottom of Florian Dou’s shopping cart at the discount supermarket, there was a packet of $6 sausages and not much else. It was the end of last week, and the end of last month. At that point, “my salary and my wife’s have been gone for 10 days,” he lamented.

How to survive those days between when the money runs out and when his paycheck arrives for his work as a warehouse handler has become a monthly challenge. The same is true for so many others in Guéret, a grim provincial town in south-central France. And it has made Mr. Dou angry.

So he used what money he had left and drove 250 miles to join the fiery protests on Saturday in Paris, where the police moved in with tear gas, water cannon and rubber bullets.

“We knew they were sent in to get rid of us,” he said the day after, “and believe me, they were not into Mr. Nice Guy.” But he vows the protesters are not going anywhere.

The Yellow Vest protesters, the descendants of those who inspired Jouhandeau’s characters, can now be found waiting at the road blocks as you come into town — truck and school-bus drivers, nurses, out-of-work electricians, housewives, warehouse handlers, part-time civil servants and construction workers on disability aid.

Being horrible at pickup lines is not sexual misconduct. Sounds like old Tyson is keeping the stereotypes of nerdy science geeks are bad around women alive and strong.

Two years ago, more than 17 million Brits voted to leave the E.U., but the last two years have been an imperialistic E.U. campaign to stop an independent Britain from ever rising again.

The biggest embarrassment is that Britain has allowed its own swamp to be penetrated and bought off by the Franco-German Axis.

In that process, the voters of the U.K. have been lied to and betrayed many times. The allegedly conservative prime minister, Theresa May, is now seen as the biggest back-stabber in the land, and it looks as though Labor will repeat her betrayal as soon as they get a chance.

I know you did not want to hear this. Neither did I. Welcome to the real world.

Boss man was hitting on his subordinates


"She says that on May 16, as the show was just about to wrap up production, Tyson invited her to join him in his apartment for wine in the evening after work.

Watson tells NPR that she went because she thought he wanted to talk about her continuing to work as his assistant when the show moved on to filming in Europe.

Instead, she says, he put on music by Nina Simone, opened wine and began pulling cheese from the fridge. She recalls that he had taken off his shoes and was wearing a tank top. "I remember thinking, 'This is a lot of skin for me to be seeing on my boss' " Watson says

Macron in deep trouble: Now even now even the ambulance service joins the protests

Anti-Macron protests in France are gaining speed. Yesterday we saw firefighters turn their backs on elected officials, police removing their helmets in a show of solidarity with the protesters and Monday morning, more than one hundred ambulance drivers protested in Paris.

At 5:30am the paramedics blocked the Place de la Concorde in downtown Paris, blaring sirens and holding banners criticising the government-mandated reforms in how ambulances are paid for their services, according to France Info.

The protests began on 17 November in response to the tax on diesel rising 23 per cent in just 12 months. The protesters taking to the streets wearing the high visibility yellow vests which are compulsory in all vehicles in France.

The protests have seen even school students in solidarity with the yellow vest movement calling for Macron to resign over education reforms.

The ambulance services joining the fire and police services in a country of civil unrest against a globalist President who, despite his plummeting approval ratings, has flirted with the idea of calling for a state of emergency.

He has dug his heels in stating he will not back down from his climate change agenda and that fuel duty will rise again in the new year.

Vive La France! Up the EU! Of course this is the Euro way, every other generation or so they get pissed at the status quo and raise a middle finger and a few rifles. Then some white flags. Then the U.S quashes the marxist uprisings that pissed them off in the first place. Vive Le USA!! Then, well you get the picture.

The funniest thing about the global warming agenda is basically the accepted plan for combatting the spooky pseudoscience based scare tactic isn’t producing more “green” energy sources so much as its limiting the use of the stuff we have by taxing the **** out if it so that only the rich can really afford to use it regularly... people forget Al Gores grand plan was to levy a $5 tax on a gallon of gas.... basically an hour of minimum wage back then... his rich *** canstill drive around in a giant SUV but all the peons in the country would be forced to give up their cars or barely use them...

When countries talk about having 70 or 80 percent renewables they aren’t talking about more wind and solar replacing gas and coal, they are talking about restricting demand to fit the amount of green they can produce, and not by mandating rationing it, just by cranking the prices up till people quit on their own.....

Id riot too... lol

Exactly. The only way renewable energy is cost-competitive with fossil fuels is to tax fossil fuels and use the money to subsidize renewables. Which then leads to everything costing more than it should.
