When San Francisco voters were considering a 2018 ballot measure that would impose the largest tax increase in city history to fund homelessness services, critics warned that the initiative’s spending plan was vague and unaccountable. Now, a chunk of that money is going to fund some very expensive tents.

Obama and the Broken Nation He Made Come Of Age
A generation doesn’t remember life before the crises he created.
Barack Obama turns 60 over the summer. The AARP cover with Barry posing next to a basketball and a shelf of bestselling non-fiction books he hasn’t read can’t be too far away.
Once the symbol of youthful hipness, the former boss of Hope and Change now lectures “young people” on what they should be doing. His legacy is being carried forward by 78-year-old Biden and the 81-year-old Pelosi. That’s above the average age of 80 of the House Dem leadership.
Nike Exec Assures China: ‘Nike Is a Brand That Is of China and for China‘
Nike CEO John Donahoe rushed to reassure China’s communist rulers that his sportswear company is all about working with them, saying that, “Nike is a brand that is of China and for China.”
Donahoe made his comments during a phone conference with Wall Street analysts about Nike’s fourth-quarter earnings report.
Extremists target young women in Kabul
As Nato troops prepare to leave, fears are growing for minorities and women in the city
Dead friends visit the schoolgirl at night. They return to her dreams as she last saw them: their bodies blasted down the street by the school gates, some with their satchels and clothes aflame.
“They come every night,” Rokiya Ahmedi told me. “I see my classmates dead. I see them on fire. I hear the screaming. I wake up screaming too. I scream for what I see, and I scream because of the fear that men will come to kill me also.”
There is no hope for Afghanistan.
The ‘Defund the Police’ Crowd Has the Blood of Black Americans on Its Hands
A little over a year after the far-left began pushing the “Defund the Police” initiative nationwide, crime rates have skyrocketed, claiming the lives of many Americans and placing even more in peril. Several major American cities heeded the call to reduce police budgets, resulting in fewer officers on the streets.
‘Of course it’s suspicious’: 2 more Catholic churches burn in B.C.’s Southern Interior
Two more Catholic churches have burned in B.C.’s Southern Interior.
Chief of the Lower Similkameen Indian Band, Keith Crow, confirmed to Global News on Saturday morning that a church in the community of Hedley burned, as did one in the border community of Chopaka.
Hedley is about an hour’s drive southwest of Penticton, while Chopaka is about a half-hour west of Osoyoos.
That’s 4 churches now, at least one other has been vandalized. I wonder if Justin will speak out against these acts of domestic terrorism?
Rex Murphy: Trudeau Liberals taking House speaker to court another arrogant attack on Parliament
A prime minister does not take the Speaker of the House of Commons to Court!
Those words ought to be yelled from any and all rooftops.
Harvard poll: 80% see border disaster, want Trump closure restored, reject teaching critical race theory
The Biden administration is failing big time with its inability to control illegal immigration, adding it to one of several issues that could doom Democrats if left unchecked.
In a new Harvard/Harris poll, an overwhelming 80% said that illegal immigration is a serious issue and one that needs more attention than what President Joe Biden or Vice President Kamala Harris are giving.
AND … Trump: Biden a puppet president to ‘group of people,’ doesn’t know ‘what the hell’ he signs
Exposed – The Washington Post’s attempt to smear me and my work on critical race theory fails spectacularly.
The fight over critical race theory has consumed American media. Conservatives have rallied against an ideology that seeks to divide the country into the racial categories of “oppressor” and “oppressed.” Liberals have defended it as a “lens” for understanding vague buzzwords like “systemic racism” and “racial equity.”
I spy: are smart doorbells creating a global surveillance network?
I have got a new doorbell. It’s brilliant. It should be; it cost £89. It’s a Ring video doorbell; you’ll have seen them around. There are others available, made by other companies, with other four-letter names such as Nest and Arlo. When someone rings my doorbell, I’m alerted on my smartphone. I can see who is there, and speak to them.
My phone is ringing! C major first inversion chord, arpeggiated, repeated, for the musically trained – you’ll recognise it if you’ve heard it. It’s a delivery. Amazon, as it happens; Amazon acquired Ring in 2018, reportedly for more than $1bn.
“Hi, Amazon guy, I’m not in… I mean, I’m upstairs.” I’m not, but I don’t want him – or anyone else – to know that. “Could you leave it behind the bins, please?”
The Systemic Con Behind Wokeism
There are lots of reasons why wokeism spread like wildfire once America lost its collective mind during the pandemic, quarantine, self-induced recession, and rioting of 2020.
Wokeism was never really about racism, sexism, or other isms. For some, it illustrated a psychological pathology of projection: transferring one’s own prejudices onto others in order to alleviate or mask them.
LEVY: Suspended TDSB educator to host seminar called ‘Teaching Palestine’
A Toronto District School Board staffer who’s been on home assignment for more than a month for distributing two virulently anti-Israel manuals is moderating an online panel for educators next week that features four speakers who have been very public about their anti-Zionist sentiments.
Some of the most supportive of multiculturalism and unfettered immigration are now reaping the whirlwind of their folly and your right to free-speech is in jeopardy because both sides of the Israel-Islam conflict believe censorship will be their savior.
I have some bad news for Israel supporters, politicians care only about votes, that means the Islamists will win and the very laws you thought would protect will be turned against you.
The case of the cursing cheerleader shows how we police profanity
Can you gimme an F? a U? a C? OK!
It’s been a great week for cheerleaders fond of tossing around the occasional F-bomb. On Wednesday the US supreme court ruled that a Pennsylvania public school violated a 14-year-old student’s first amendment freedom of speech rights when it suspended her from the cheerleading team because of an expletive-ridden social media post she’d sent from outside school premises.
President Biden Rants Against ‘Ugliest, Most Un-American Laws’ Which ‘Target Transgender Children’
On Friday afternoon, President Joe Biden gave remarks commemorating pride month and celebrating “the LGBTQ+ community,” though at times he did slip up and began with the “LBT” instead of the LGBT”
Biden was introduced by Ashton Mota, a 16-year old who claimed to be transgender when only a 12-year old.
