Homeless Problem We Haven’t Made Progress

Different ‘Dynamics’
Posted By: Dreadnought, 6/12/2023 11:34:36 PM
During a portion of an interview with the Fox News Channel set to air on Monday’s broadcast of “Hannity,” California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) acknowledged that California “has not made progress in the last two decades” on homelessness, but he can’t in four years as Governor make up for the historic levels of homeless people that existed in 2005 under a Republican and the “dynamics” in California “are very different” than in a state like Florida, whose homeless population is a fraction of California’s, but stated that “we own” the problem. DeSantis said, “This state has not made progress in the last two decades as it relates to homelessness.”

Going topless at the White House?
12 replies
I guess I am a prude, but it never occurred to me to imagine that at a White House, even a guest of the President of the United States would disrobe.
Silly me. I keep on forgetting that the whole point of alphabet ideology is to strip all norms and dignity from Western values and replace them with…this. There has been a lot of angst about the manner in which the White House was draped with a Pride flag at the place of honor in the center of a display. I share that outrage, but by now I just shrug when I see such a shameless elevation of an anti-Western ideology
Cormac McCarthy, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author whose searing novel No Country for Old Men served as the foundation for the Coen brothers’ 2007 film that earned Oscars for best picture, supporting actor, directing and adapted screenplay, has died. He was 89.
McCarthy died Tuesday of natural at his home in Santa Fe, New Mexico, his publisher, Knopf, announced. Known for his crisp prose, foreboding view of humanity, uncompromising approach to death and violence — and rebellion against quote marks and semicolons — McCarthy was celebrated as one of the leading American authors of his time.
“He is the great pessimist of American literature, using his dervish sentences to illuminate a world
Former President Donald Trump has pleaded not guilty to 37 charges related to alleged mishandling of classified documents.
Trump’s lawyers asked for a jury trial during the former president’s arraignment Tuesday at a federal courthouse in Miami.
“We most certainly enter a plea of not guilty,” Trump attorney Todd Blanche told the judge. Before the arraignment, deputy marshals booked the former president and took electronic copies of his fingerprints. They did not to take a mugshot of Trump since he is easily recognizable. The booking process took about 10 minutes.
Trump’s aide and co-defendant, Walt Nauta was also arrested, fingerprinted and processed.
A transgender influencer was banned from the White House on Tuesday for posing topless at President Biden’s Pride celebration over the weekend.
Rose Montoya, who exposed his bare prosthetic breasts to the camera and onlookers at the official event, violated basic standards of decency and social manners, a spokesperson for the White House told the New York Post.
“This behavior is inappropriate and disrespectful for any event at the White House,” the spokesperson said. “It is not reflective of the event we hosted to celebrate LGBTQI+ families or the other hundreds of guests who were in attendance. Individuals in the video will not be invited to future events.”
San Francisco may not be irretrievably lost as a viable metropolis — yet. But its status as one of America’s great cities is gone and it’s hard to see how the once-golden city can return to its dazzling glory as a center of art, architecture, and commerce. It’s not unprecedented in America. St. Louis, Cleveland, Buffalo — all were once thriving cities. All have since lost at least half their population, and those who remain have failed to regenerate the vibrancy, the energy of the early to mid-20th century.
But what’s truly shocking about the demise of San Francisco has been the speed at which the city has fallen
I’ve said it before and I will continue to say it. The Republican primary candidate bench is deep and talented. CNN has been hosting town halls with individual declared candidates with rotating hosts and locations. Monday night, Chris Christie held a CNN town hall with host Anderson Cooper. The audience was comprised of Republican voters who are committed to voting in primary elections. The audience was silent – no clapping allowed – and some audience members asked were chosen to ask questions of Christie.
Christie does well in the town hall format. He remembers the voter’s name and repeats it in his answer. That comes from Public Speaking 101 class.
Donald Trump will not have his mugshot taken as he appears in a Florida court to face charges of mishandling sensitive files, officials say.
But the former president is expected to be fingerprinted and give a DNA sample after Tuesday's hearing in Miami.
The city police chief said the force was ready for crowds of between 5,000 and 50,000 people to gather.
The hearing will be the second time Mr Trump has appeared in court this year, but Tuesday's case is more serious.
City officials have prepared for protests outside the Wilkie D Ferguson Jr court in downtown Miami, after the former president called on supporters to gather.
With all the chaos that has permeated the cultural arena over the last decade or so, it’s easy for conservatives to get discouraged. Things have truly gone off the rails, with a level of depravity that was once thought to be unthinkable becoming mainstream.
At the forefront of that has been the battle over transgender ideology. Children are being pumped full of puberty blockers, and in some cases, being physically mutilated by surgeries, all under the ridiculous guise of “transitioning.” Nothing is sacred for the far-left, not even the health and well-being of children. Yet, amidst all the darkness, there is hope peaking through.
Treat Williams, known for his roles in "Hair" and "Everwood," died following a vehicular accident in Dorset Monday, according to police. He was 71.
The Vermont State Police confirmed the death in a statement online, saying Williams was driving along Morse Hill Road at approximately 4:53 p.m. when his motorcycle was unable to avoid a Honda SUV and the two vehicles collided.
"The Vermont State Police is investigating a crash between an SUV and a motorcycle Monday afternoon, June 12, 2023, in Dorset in which the operator of the motorcycle suffered fatal injuries," the statement read. "The motorcyclist is identified as Richard Treat Williams, 71, of Manchester Center, Vermont."

Pat Sajak, who has hosted the syndicated game show "Wheel of Fortune" for more than 40 years, announced in a tweet Monday night that he plans to step down next year. "Well, the time has come. I've decided that our 41st season, which begins in September, will be my last," Sajak said. "It's been a wonderful ride, and I'll have more to say in the coming months.
"Many thanks to you all." Sajak, 76, took the helm of "Wheel of Fortune" in 1981 alongside co-host Vanna White. The show is a mainstay of the primetime lineup on local television channels across the country,
New disclosures from Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop appear to show that President Biden’s troubled son and some of Hunter’s business associates were deeply involved in advocating for Ukrainian interests in the United States during the time that Mr. Biden served as vice president. Republicans say that this and other emails prove that the president was, in fact, involved in a bribery scheme as described by a federal whistleblower complaint.
One April 2014 email sent by the first son to his close friend and business partner, Devon Archer, included a detailed memo analyzing the political and economic landscape of Ukraine that the younger Mr. Biden called “thoughts after doing some research.”

America’s All Volunteer Force turns 50 this year. Since 1973, the U.S. military has, with rare exceptions, met its annual recruitment goals and improved the quality of the force.
Now, however, it is mired in its worst recruiting stretch in history. Last year, the Army missed its recruiting goal by 25% and already predicts it will miss again in 2023. Ditto the Air Force and Navy.
Officials cite numerous reasons for the shortfall: low unemployment, a smaller pool of young people qualified to serve, declining public confidence in the military and more. Whatever the reasons, these recruiting failures portend trouble for military readiness.
President Joe Biden faced backlash Monday evening after a video from over the weekend went viral that showed a transgender activist taking his top off during a White House after meeting the president.
Activist Rose Montoya, a man who identifies as a woman, met with Biden and his wife, Jill Biden, at the White House on Saturday during the administration’s celebration of Pride Month.Video shows Montoya meeting with the Bidens before standing on the White House lawn with his top off and hands covering his chest.
The incident drew widespread condemnation online.
“This is what happened at the White House pride event,”

Young professionals entering the workforce are left puzzled by the seemingly endless dictionary of workplace jargon being thrown at them. New research released today by LinkedIn and Duolingo surveyed 1,016 respondents in the UK between the ages of 18 and 76 and found that 48% of Gen Z and Millennials are feeling left out at work because of the use of workplace jargon like "blue sky thinking," and "low-hanging fruit," according to a press release viewed by Insider. (Snip) Some of the most frequently used phrases at work include "moving forwards," "touch base," "circle back," and "ducks in a row."
Massachusetts middle schoolers tore down Pride decorations and chanted that their pronouns were 'USA' in a striking protest after they were asked to wear rainbow colors to school.
Students at Marshall Simonds Middle School in Burlington, Massachusetts, were asked to wear rainbow-colored shirts to celebrate Pride Month on June 2, but a preplanned protest broke out with students tearing up Pride flag stickers and chanting: 'USA are my pronouns.'
Decked out in red, white and blue, the students destroyed the decorations lining the hallway the student organization Spectrum Group distributed, including a quote
Starbucks has reportedly dialed back the LGBTQ-themed decor with two weeks still left to go of PRIDE month.
According to a Twitter thread shared by Starbucks Workers United (@SBWorkersUnited) — “Starbucks Partners coming together to create a better workplace” — management in a number of Starbucks franchises have opted to tone down PRIDE displays all across the United States.
“BREAKING: In the middle of Pride Month, Starbucks BANS Pride decorations in stores across the United States,” the group tweeted, saying that workers had already begun to share the news via social media.
Los Angeles County closed a series of beaches in early June due to soaring levels of filth.
A post shared by Los Angeles Public Health’s Twitter account revealed Monday many of the county’s most popular beaches are currently closed due to “recent sewage discharge.” Malibu Lagoon State Beach and areas a quarter mile to the north and south were officially closed, while a slew of other popular tourist and local hangout spots received ocean water use warnings.

Jill Biden professed her bemusement Monday night at loyal Donald Trump supporters still backing the former president in the wake of his federal indictment.
AP reports she told an audience of Democratic donors at the Upper East Side home of Barry Ginsburg and his wife Merle in Manhattan the 2024 election presents a stark choice between what she described as the “strong, steady leadership” of President Joe Biden and the “chaos and corruption, hatred and division” of “MAGA Republicans.”The first lady then professed her bemusement at reading a headline before her flight landed that described a majority of Republicans in a poll saying they were still planning to vote for Trump,
U.S. Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) is again taking action against (literally) weaponized bureaucracy by leading the charge in the upper chamber to ensure the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is not using tax dollars from hardworking Americans to arm its employees — and going beyond just that to disarm the taxman and move the IRS' investigation division over to the Justice Department.
According to an Open the Books report released last month, the IRS has spent more than $35 million since 2006 on firearms, ammunition, and tactical gear for its glorified and federally empowered accountant force, with some $10 million of that taxpayer-funded armament coming since just 2020.

Did you go to camp when you were a kid? Camp still exists, but the sorts of adventures being served to children have substantially changed.
Consider a summer escape compliments of the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. Thanks to the college’s social consciousness, middle schoolers will enjoy an outing centered around what kind of sex they’d like to have. Supplementally, the endeavor will support sixth-through-eighth graders’ embrace of a “gender” contrary to their sex.
The number of congregations departing the United Methodist Church (UMC) exceeded 5,000 last week as the second-largest Protestant denomination in the U.S. continues to fracture over theological disagreements, mostly pertaining to human sexuality. The number of churches that have been given the green light by their annual conferences to disaffiliate increased from approximately 4,600 early last week to 5,321 as of Friday, according to UM News.
The number of churches leaving the UMC has surged in recent years, with approximately 2,000 congregations being approved to disaffiliate in 2022 and more than 3,000 this year.
