California Gov. Gavin Newsom has directed the National Guard and California Highway Patrol to help combat San Francisco's fentanyl trafficking crisis.
On Friday, Newsom announced an effort to have both agencies assist local authorities to address the rise in fentanyl use.
The agreement will focus on "dismantling fentanyl trafficking and disrupting the supply of the deadly drug in the city by holding the operators of large-scale drug trafficking operations accountable," the Democratic governor's office said. "Two truths can co-exist at the same time: San Francisco’s violent crime rate is below comparably sized cities like Jacksonville [Florida] and Fort Worth [Texas] — and there is also more we must do

Leave the door open and turn the air conditioner on colder in midsummer.

Create a crisis by pushing virtue-signaling policies, and then have to try to solve it, all the while pointing fingers at others. How very democrat.

Nancy "PutridPuke" Pelosi (D-San Fran Sicko), at 83 years old, might have her eyes on being Ambassador to Italy. It will probably mean her DUI husband will join her. Maybe she'll find a hairdresser to keep those gray hairs away.

Keep Gavin in CA. He and the Nat Guard can organize the illegals and Fentanyl pushers while the productive taxpayers move out. I'm pretty sure he has a task force investigating whether it's possible to be Governor by Zoom meetings from Florida.

The National Guard, or CalGuard, has been directed by Newsom to identify personnel and resources that will help dismantle fentanyl trafficking rings.
Someone needs to ask him exactly what that means.

It would be far easier to stop fentanyl wholesale at the border, rather than chasing it in retail markets in California.

What is the national guard supposed to do? Shoot dealers on the street? Kick in doors at fentanyl warehouses and blow everyone away?
This is not a national guard issue.
He needs to:
1) hire more cops and stop treating them like trash
2) push for real DAs who want criminals in jail, not Soros pets
3) do his part to close the border
4) make life hard on illegals so they stop coming and bringing drugs with them
None of those things will ever happen with him in charge.

Rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. "Holding fentanyl traffickers accountable" will never happen with the DAs they have in place, and he knows it. One can only conclude that Dems WANT the hellscape our cities have become.

Cops? Baaaaad.
Military "Style", semi auto weapons? Baaad.
Solution? Actual Military, carrying actual select fire machine guns replacing Cops.
Ya...THAT makes sense.

The National Guard needs to be sent to the border, not Sam Francisco. San Francisco needs a new mayor, London Breed is pat of the problem, and more police who are allowed to do their job, and a DA who will use the law to punish the lawbreakers.

Defund the police....bring in the National Guard. Idiocy on parade. Nat Guard is NOT law enforcement.

They could go to the border and set up belt fed machine guns and stop the illegals. That might actually help.

For some reason this reminds me of the Democrats creating a horrendous Jim Crow environment for American Blacks that Republicans fought tirelessly against for a century. When the Democrats then realized the millions of votes they could acquire if they got the Black vote they started authoring the kind of bills Republicans had been authoring for decades and decades and then put the “yea” number over the top, passing the bills that they had opposed into law. And then the Democrats took a victory lap for getting rid of segregation.
