Allied Interdictions Tighten Grip on Russia's Shadow Fleet Oil

France, aided by UK intelligence, boarded the Comoros-flagged tanker Grinch in the Mediterranean to verify its origin from Russia amid sanctions on the so‑called shadow fleet, part of a widening allied effort to cut off oil linked to Moscow; Russia warned such ships would be escorted, as other interdictions (Marinera, Sagitta) and further UK/US actions continue, and Zelensky urged Europe to stop Russian oil revenue funding the war in Ukraine.

"Trump Attorneys Clash with Special Counsel in Election Interference Case"

Former President Donald Trump's attorneys compared special counsel Jack Smith to the Grinch in a court filing, urging the U.S. Court of Appeals to reject Smith's request for an expedited appeal on whether Trump can claim presidential immunity in a criminal case. Trump's lawyers argued that the proposed schedule would disrupt holiday plans, referencing Dr. Seuss' "How the Grinch Stole Christmas." The appeals court granted Smith's request without explanation, ordering Trump's team to file their brief by Dec. 23. The trial date is set for March 4, but Trump's defense argues it is unrealistic given the volume of discovery and legal issues. Trump has pleaded not guilty in the case.

Christmas Tree Theft: Real-life Grinch Strikes in San Mateo

In the crime-ridden Bay Area, a real-life Grinch was caught on video stealing a freshly-cut Christmas tree from the roof of a car in broad daylight. The thief, driving a white SUV, cut the ropes holding the tree down and threw it into his own vehicle before driving off. San Mateo Police are still searching for the suspect, but the Christmas tree lot provided the family with a replacement tree. The Bay Area has seen a rise in robbery and motor vehicle theft this year, contributing to the overall increase in crime and the decline of businesses in the region.
