Newsom Touts California as Model for Homelessness

 Moonbattery  

Daily Bulletin

"Formerly conservative California, which used to epitomize the American Dream and which launched Ronaldus Maximus from governor to president, is a model for leftists throughout the country when it comes to achieving political dominance through demographic transformation. As Gavin Newsom triumphantly affirms, it is also a model regarding homelessness, a crisis that Democrats have exacerbated for nefarious political purposes.

"California achieved its stratospheric homelessness level by spending money to grow it. This spending continues to escalate:

[Newsom] announced a $3.3 billion fund for California counties to tackle rampant homelessness, including a mental health initiative he pushed for.

"Crowed Newsom:

“We have a national model.”

"Twenty-eight percent of the homeless in the USA subsist in the erstwhile Golden State.

That figure marked a 40 percent increase from the rate it was at five years ago, reports CalMatters. …

In Los Angeles, which has more homeless people than any other US city at a staggering 65,111 people according to a separate 2023 California Senate report, the rate increased by nine percent in 2023 compared to the previous year.

"California is a national model, all right — assuming that the objective is to reduce America to a Third World slum.

"It isn’t just the warm weather:

[A federal report] found that the number of ‘unsheltered’ people – those not in any form of government housing or shelter and instead sleep on the streets – in California accounted for 49 percent of the entire nation’s tally.

At over 123,000 unsheltered homeless people in California, the state held a rate eight times higher than the second worst state, Florida, which had just 15,000.

"That which the government wants to abolish, it taxes. That which it wants more of, it subsidizes. This is why California so lavishly subsidizes homelessness.

"Newsom touted Proposition 1, which pours money on the homeless and mandates that counties…

…spend two-thirds of the money gained from a 2004 tax on millionaires solely on mental health services.

"Fewer millionaires, more mentally ill derelicts. Sounds like a plan for consolidating leftist rule."

Biden’s $7.5 Billion EV Charger Plan Backfires Spectacularly

  Issues & Insights (issuesinsights.com)

A survey by J.D. Power found that almost 21% of drivers using public charging stations reported malfunctions. And when a Wall Street Journal reporter went around to 30 fast-charging stations in the Los Angeles area, she encountered problems at more than 40% of them.

"At a Rose Garden event this week, President Joe Biden bragged that “Thanks to my Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, we’re building a network of 500,000 charging stations all across America.”

"This is about as believable as the story of his uncle’s cannibalistic demise.

"The truth is that Biden’s five-year, $7.5 billion effort to jump-start the development of electric vehicle charging stations is doing the opposite. The money has so far produced only eight new charging stations in two years. The overall growth rate in EV charging stations has slowed since he signed that bill. And earlier this month, Tesla gutted its EV charger efforts, dealing the entire scheme a huge blow.

"In other words, this is shaping up to be a massive waste of taxpayer money.

"The slow rollout of the Biden-approved EV stations is in part due to cumbersome rules and regulations required to access the money. That’s no surprise.

"But it’s actually having a broader negative impact, slowing the growth of EV stations overall.

"In the two years before Biden signed that infrastructure bill, the number of EV charging stations grew by roughly 20,000, according to data compiled by the Department of Energy. In the two years since, just 16,000 stations went online, even as EV sales accelerated. The result is that the ratio of charging stations to EVs is about half what it was in 2021. The administration says not to worry, because the buildout will soon take off. We aren’t holding our breath.

"But even if the stations do start to roll out, these numbers don’t account for the large number of charging ports that aren’t working at any given time because of communication failures, power outages, software bugs, or other problems with the complicated tech.

"A survey by J.D. Power found that almost 21% of drivers using public charging stations reported malfunctions. And when a Wall Street Journal reporter went around to 30 fast-charging stations in the Los Angeles area, she encountered problems at more than 40% of them.

"Even the new ones Biden is spending $7.5 billion to install, which are supposed to meet 95% reliability standards, don’t work as advertised.

When Green Biz tested one of the new stations in New York in January – just a month after it was installed – it found that two of the four chargers had malfunctioning credit card readers, one had a blank screen, and the other was completely unusable.

"There’s still another problem that EV zealots ignore. Because it takes far longer to charge an electric car than it does to fill up a gas tank, there would have to be multiples more charging ports than gas pumps to prevent massive lines from forming at charging stations." . . .

Trump Calls for a Drug Test Requirement for Debate, Biden Team Response Tells You All You Need to Know

  Nick Arama – RedState

While he identified a debate requirement he wanted of his own. Trump is now asking for what I think is a very important requirement for the debate — a drug test. He said he thought Biden was going to be “jacked up.”  

"There is now an agreement on two 2024 presidential debates, one in June with CNN and one in September with ABC. 

"Former President Donald Trump accepted two more, proposed by Fox and then on Telemundo/NBC, but Joe Biden has not agreed to those. He obviously only wants debates on networks he thinks he can influence: 

“The debate about debates is over,” a Biden campaign official said. “No more games.”

In a statement Friday night, the Trump campaign responded by blasting Biden's decision.

"The Telemundo/NBC debate would be widely watched by Hispanic voters, but Biden’s handlers are petrified to allow him to defend his disastrous record," campaign spokeswoman Danielle Alvarez said. "Crooked Joe Biden is too 'cobarde' to address the Hispanic community and answer for his failures on the debate stage!"

" 'He can't talk, he can't walk, can't find his way off a stage. Can’t put two sentences together,” Trump said. 

“Although he has agreed to debate, so I don’t know, maybe they know something. He’s going to be so jacked up for those debates, you watch. 

" 'I'm going to demand a drug test," he declared. 

" 'I don’t want him coming in like the State of the Union,” Trump said. “He was high as a kite.” By the end of the evening, Trump said, Biden was “exhausted.”  “We’re going to demand a drug test.” 

 "It's been the Biden team that's been playing the "games," and trying to set all kinds of restrictions and only agreeing to the things that he thinks help him. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has also claimed that he would qualify for the first CNN debate; Biden had said he didn’t want Kennedy included. So what happens there remains to be seen." . . .

Israel-Hamas war: What happened during the October 7 attack? [Part 4/8]

"Hamas used an unprecedented intelligence tactic to mislead Israel over the last months, by giving a public impression that it was not willing to go into a fight or confrontation with Israel while preparing for this massive operation," the source said." Were the rapes planned and ordered or did the Arabs just do what they do?

How Israel Was Duped as Hamas Planned Devastating Assault  (Reuters) - A careful campaign of deception ensured Israel was caught off guard when the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas launched its devastating attack, enabling a force using bulldozers, hang gliders and motorbikes to take on the Middle East's most powerful army.

"Saturday's assault, the worst breach in Israel's defences since Arab armies waged war in 1973, followed two years of subterfuge by Hamas that involved keeping its military plans under wraps and convincing Israel it did not want a fight.

"While Israel was led to believe it was containing a war-weary Hamas by providing economic incentives to Gazan workers, the group's fighters were being trained and drilled, often in plain sight, a source close to Hamas said" . . .

And, as Douglas Murray put it, "They did it with glee".

Opinion: Israel could defeat Hamas in Gaza more quickly if the US didn’t hold it back, this military expert says | CNN

Spencer tells CNN Opinion that he sees a military with the capability to rapidly eviscerate Hamas’ army being held back by the international community. He feels that the US bears some of the responsibility for the devastation in Gaza because of how it’s slowed down and limited Israel’s ability to win the war. It’s a restraint that he says the US hasn’t imposed on its own military campaigns, and it has the effect of increasing Palestinian casualties and suffering by dragging out the fighting.

"If Hamas survives in Rafah, they win. It doesn’t matter if they’ve been pushed into the smallest corner of Gaza. If the Hamas leadership survives, they’ve won the war, because they can say they attacked Israel and survived, and then they can rebuild, continue to fight off any other future governing force that would come in to Gaza and launch future attacks against Israel. Iran and its proxies would also have validated their strategy to attack Israel, weaken Israel’s position with its allies and then repeat." . . .

Spencer: Because the world said to Israel at the beginning of the ground invasion, that what you’re doing, I don’t care if it’s legal or not, cannot continue. You got to find another way. The United States with its influence said, look, I know what you’re doing is achieving results, but you have to find a different way.

So the IDF shifted their tactics, they reduced the number of forces, they reduced the number of strikes on military targets, and they went more methodically and slowed down. They did more tactical pauses, they avoided more areas if they had any civilian population in them, and it became a very house-to-house, block-by-block, tunnel-by-tunnel fight, which has prolonged the war.

That has increased the humanitarian suffering and the strain on humanitarian supplies in Gaza. It has increased the duration of the violence and the continued existence of Hamas. So we are at fault for some of the destruction in Gaza because of that. We own some of the responsibility."

DOUGLAS MURRAY describes the horrors and heroes he found in Israel right after the October 7th Hamas massacre   "After receiving the Alexander Hamilton Award for his ‘unwavering defense of Western values.’ Murray talks about being in Israel after October 7th and witnessing what Israel has been up against: a cult of death, a cult that wishes to annihilate an entire race, and which, after dealing with that race, has made very clear what it wants to do with Christians, and everyone in Britain, everyone in America, and everyone else next. They don’t hide it at all. We are merely stupid in not believing them. "

US Administration Abandons Israel, Empowers Enemies :: Gatestone Institute

• Worse, abandoning Israel sends a troubling message to U.S. allies worldwide: in times of crisis, do not rely on American support.

• The Biden administration has eroded trust and damaged U.S. credibility on the global stage even further than it already had done after surrendering Afghanistan and allowing China to kill more than a million Americans with Covid-19, or poisoning to death more than 80,000 Americans each year with fentanyl, or permitting China to commit massive espionage and intellectual property theft with no consequences at all.

• Biden's decision has projected an image of weakness rather than leadership, further tarnishing America's reputation as a steadfast defender of the free world. Instead, the Biden administration is seen globally as siding with terrorists -- the Taliban in Afghanistan, the terror-funding Qataris, the genocidal Communist government of China, and the annual winner of the world's top, largest, leading "state sponsor of terrorism," Iran.

• Such a milestone shift in U.S. foreign policy displays a concerning departure from longstanding principles of backing the Free World. Overall, the development is deeply detrimental to U.S. interests. It threatens the stability of international relations, and for the perception of America's role as a leading global power, it is nothing short of devastating.

Is the Pope Catholic? A joke question becomes a serious one *UPDATED*

  Andrea Widburg - American Thinker

Marxism corrupts everything it touches. Pope Francis reflects that fact and he’s exposing the rot with his statements and sophistry on 60 Minutes. Once, the Catholic church stood for something unique, intangible, and permanent. Under Pope Francis’s aegis, it's beginning to stand for nothing at all. 

"Pope Francis represents the Catholic Church, its doctrine, and its storied almost two-thousand-year history. However, Pope Francis has consistently derided Catholic teachings on climate change and sexuality. In both cases, he speaks like a social Marxist, not the head of the Catholic Church—and he’s apparently at it again with his upcoming interview on 60 Minutes.

"The Church’s strength, always, has been two-fold: Its fealty to its core religious doctrines and the glacial slowness with which it changes. Its teachings are meant to be primary and eternal, rather than to move with the fads of the moment. Changing those teachings is an enormously consequential act because each change raises doubts about the church’s prior infallibility. You’re not a spiritual or cultural bulwark if you change policies according to the polls and the whims of the crowd.

"However, there’s long been a movement within the church itself to force a fundamental change upon it. That movement is “Liberation Theology,” which tacks Marxism onto Catholicism. Liberation Theology was profoundly influential in Latin America beginning in the 1950s and 1960s, just when Pope Francis was coming of age religiously in Argentina.

"Reading how leftist Wikipedia describes the doctrine will help you understand that it’s the fulfillment of Marxism, as you can see through the terms I emphasized (hyperlinks and footnotes omitted):" . . .

. . ."Pope Francis represents the culmination of both these trends—economic and social Marxism. He’s also tossed in Gaia worship—the antithesis of Biblical monotheism—via the vehicle of climate change madness.

"You can see all this in his tirades against the free market, against the imaginary horror of climate change and, above all, in his constant efforts to normalize homosexuality and transgenderism, both of which fly in the face of the church’s support for the Bible’s narrative about God’s creation of man and woman...and only man and woman. (And isn't baptizing someone as the opposite of their biological sex a lie before God?) There is also the little problem of the myriad Biblical strictures against homosexuality." . . .

Anti-Israel Students' Can’t Answer BASIC Questions About The Conflict

Buried facts about the Gaza war; Connect the dots: It’s America and Iran against Israel

  Melanie Phillips (substack.com) 

"Biden’s betrayal of Israel is widely attributed to his need to buy off the hard-left in the Democratic Party. But his administration was rotten from the start, widely seeded with Obama-retread officials who are viscerally hostile to Israel and some of whom even have histories of supporting Palestinian terrorist groups."

Below: Israeli comedians make a mockery out of the embarrassingly ignorant Hamas terrorist supporters at colleges around the United States.

The extent to which the political class and media are burying facts that undermine their poisonous narrative to defame and undermine Israel’s war of survival has become simply jaw-dropping. 

"The Biden administration has gone to great lengths to appease the genocidal and terrorist Iranian regime. The US has funnelled billions into Tehran’s coffers through sanctions relief. It has refused to respond effectively to repeated Iranian-backed attacks on US interests. And it is doing everything it can to prevent Israel from taking action that would damage America’s relationship with the Iranian regime — including the destruction of Hamas, a vital force in Tehran’s proxy army against Israel and the west. 

"The American appeasement of Iran has left many people mystified. They should have been paying more attention.

"Twelve days before the October 7 pogrom, Jay Solomon reported on the Semafor site that Ariane Tabatabai, chief of staff to the Assistant Secretary of Defence for Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict, was part of an “Iran Experts Initiative” created by senior Iranian foreign ministry officials to bolster Tehran’s position on global security issues, particularly its nuclear programme. 

"In other words, Tabatabai was an agent of influence for Iran, at the heart of the US government and with the highest level of security clearance.

"Semafor and the Iranian opposition group Iran International had obtained a large cache of Iranian government correspondence and emails. These revealed that in 2021 Robert Malley, who was the point man on Iran under both the Obama and Biden administrations until he was removed in June 2023 following a still unexplained “mishandling of classified materials,” had infiltrated Tabatabai into the US State Department to assist him in his negotiations with Iran. "

The debate: "I smell a rat"

  Pete Colan - American Thinker

spitting image tv

"Joe Biden suddenly anxious to debate Donald J. Trump seemingly out of the clear blue doesn’t smell right. His Fraudulency (H/T John Nolte) can’t put two sentences together much less navigate an intelligent debate with a seven-year old.

"Clearly we know ol’ Joe didn’t call for this. He’s happy sitting in his basement or on the beach, eating ice cream and falling off his bike at every opportunity. We all know he doesn’t want this. Who set him up and why?

"I preface the following suggestions on the fact that the Left has already demonstrated how elaborately sinister they can be with the election theft of 2020, the staging of January 6 with pipe bombs as “plan B,” and the endless lawfare attempts to incarcerate the former (and hopefully future) President with made-up crimes they’re not even attempting to hide anymore behind a veil of legitimacy. No conspiracy theory is off the table any more, therefore we must all proceed ever so cautiously. We cannot assume everything is as it seems.

"One theory is that, failing the first debate miserably and in front of the public, offering a Full Monty view of how badly he would lead the country during the next four years gives the Democrats reason to replace him before or during the convention, not only with the consent of Biden’s former adoring followers but instead with their insistence.

"Another theory is the (il)legal warfare being played against Donald Trump might just time itself ever so fortuitously so that he won’t be able to make it to the debate(s). In fact, he might just be in jail or somehow otherwise confined. Darn the luck, right? This would save Biden from the embarrassment of actually debating Pres. Trump while at the same time proclaiming his heroism by putting up the challenge in the first place, and if Trump weren’t such a criminal, he’d be free to come to the venue, but instead, lookie here at Trump in the jump suit." . . .

Nearly 100 Retired General Officers Urge America to Maintain Support for Israel

  HotAir

"It's big news when a single General takes a shot at a Republican, but I haven't seen massive coverage of this letter that features scores of top-level military leaders challenging Biden's drift away from supporting Israel." 

"It's not quite a rebuke of President Biden--most former General Officers try to refrain from attacking the Commander in Chief--but these former high-ranking military officers are clearly pushing back from the administration's pulling back from supporting Israel. 

How high ranking? How about the former Commander of the US Central Command? Or the Supreme Allied Commander in Europe? Or Commander of the US Strategic Command? 

Actually, forget it. Just think commanders and deputy commanders of just about every military branch and unit of note we have in every theater around the world. They all urge that America remain steadfast in its support for Israel and its war effort against Hamas. 

They make a moral case, of course, but the primary focus of their argument is that Israel is a vital strategic partner in military, intelligence, economic, and technological domains. 

Since it is an open letter I can quote it in full:

Given our experience as retired American military leaders, we are very concerned about the security impacts of increasingly strained U.S.-Israel ties as Israel becomes a growing source of domestic division. We therefore feel compelled to declare that a strong Israel is vital to the United States national security, and it is imperative that America unequivocally stand by this indispensable ally.

Amid surging antisemitism in America and the world, following the largest one-day loss of innocent Jewish life since the Holocaust, U.S. support for the only Jewish state should be clear, unwavering, and not conditioned. The benefits of this partnership for the American people and this important region are many, and too valuable, to forsake.

Biden Fundraises Off Lawfare Circus After Taunting Trump For Being Stuck In Court

 Biden Fundraises Off The 'Get Trump' Lawfare Circus (thefederalist.com)

"As my colleague Eddie Scarry aptly noted, Biden’s remarks were yet another “inadvertent admission that Democrats and Biden’s Justice Department are hoping to liquidate their opponents through endless prosecution."

"President Joe Biden taunted former President Donald Trump on Wednesday for being confined to a Manhattan courtroom while fighting a lawfare campaign being led, in part, by a former Biden Department of Justice official. But the incumbent took his indifference to the weaponization of law a step further: he is now fundraising off the lawfare circus.

Biden released a 14-second clip on Wednesday in which he finally agreed to debate Trump — after dodging the possibility for months. Biden closed out his highly-edited video by mocking Trump’s limited availability to — simply put — be a presidential candidate.

“ 'So let’s pick the dates, Donald,” Biden said. “I hear you’re free on Wednesdays.”

"Biden’s campaign doubled down by releasing a $32 T-shirt that says “Free On Wednesdays.”

"Biden’s mocking remarks are a reference to the Democrat campaign strategy of weaponizing lawfare against Trump, as Biden trails in the polls. As Democrats hold out hope the lawfare circus will boost Biden’s popularity, they’ve expressed shock that Trump is “still ahead of Biden in recent polls” and wondered why the lawfare campaigns are “not hurting” Trump. A newly released New York Times/Siena College poll finds despite Democrats’ best efforts, Trump leads Biden overall in five key swing states among registered and likely voters." . . .

The current President is in no way superior to the ignorant mobs with their Hamas scarfs, their pre-printed signs, and their mindless chants. TD

How Donald Trump can use the debates to put Joe Biden away (nypost.com)

I don’t know why Trump even agreed to show up. He has zero to gain. Why did he agree to Joe’s terms? The Trump hating moderators will feed Joe the questions ahead of time. The sound studio will cut Trump’s mic whenever he starts saying something they don’t want him to. Joe will be fitted with an earpiece. No audience to boo Joe so they’ll pretend he was a success. Joe has A LOT to gain. Especially when everything is on his terms. Why Trump agrees after he said no to the other presidential nominees debates is a big mistake. He’ll likely lose his temper at one point and that is very off putting to the female viewers he is trying to win over. I would have said yes only if it’s not in a sound tv stage with mics they control, by different moderators including a Republican one and outdoors in front of a live audience. Otherwise no no no no no. Only a fool thinks he can outsmart the snake. Joe’s handlers are so desperate for a debate to improve his ratings that they would have likely caved on some of the terms. But Trump didn’t even negotiate. Scary he was so quick without thinking through his own strategy. Is that how he makes decisions in life? Question from Reader.

The mean (and crazy) girls of the left

 John Dale Dunn - American Thinker

"One of the things we’ve seen in videos of the anti-Israel protests is a parade of young, white women with jihadi wraps on their heads, screaming and chanting for the cause of Hamas, a Muslim terrorist sect that proudly tortures, rapes, and kills women just like them.

"Looking at these images, Heather MacDonald recently wrote an essay for City Journal, in which she asks the question that is on our minds: Why are all these plump, unhappy white girls protesting for Hamas and against Israel? Ms. MacDonald offers:

One possible reason is that women constitute majorities of both student bodies and the metastasizing student-services bureaucracies that cater to them. Another is the sex skew in majors.

[snip]

In progressive movements, the default assumption now may be to elevate females ahead of males as leaders and spokesmen. But most important, the victim ideology that drives much of academia today, with its explicit enmity to objectivity and reason as white male constructs, has a female character.

"The female influence has increased inside and outside of the academy. The left is dominated by a grievance narrative founded on the idea that women are oppressed and that it’s up to the government to keep them safe. Indeed, the women involved have no tolerance at all for risk and no ability to analyze risk, which is an immature approach to life. They are instinctively censorious and intolerant of anyone who would disagree, especially when the disagreement is grounded in the Bible. (Witness the uproar about Harrison Butker’s impressive speech, which is grounded in core Catholic principles.)

"MacDonald points out that the women’s craziness has a firm basis in ignorance:

The protesters’ demands for LGBTQ justice extend only to docile Western powers. They give their Middle Eastern idols’ overt homophobia a free pass—if they even know about it.

"Thus, these women ignore that they are supporting an ideology that produced 1,400 years of violent conquest and terrorism that impacted women disproportionately because of Muslim sexual habits and misogyny. The result is soft white women cheering for the barbarians who would rape and torture them with exaltation and kill them without a scruple, while hollering Allahu Akbar.

"The protests provide a canvas for all sorts of apparent personality disorders, everything from narcissists to dependents to borderlines to histrionics. These gals are the spoiled products of bad parenting and a morally corrupt culture. Once sees no signs of maturity, temperance,  or virtue. It’s just a big tantrum." . . .
