Newsom: California homelessness crisis is ‘disgraceful’
Fox News host Sean Hannity exclusively interviews California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who addresses the homelessness crisis and businesses leaving his state.

Some California Democrats are turning on their Golden State leader after Gov. Gavin Newsom's homelessness council failed to track whether billions of dollars spent on curbing the homelessness crisis were successful in the last five years.

"You come to a budget committee, and there’s no numbers," Democratic Assemblymember Phil Ting said to Newsom's housing and homelessness officials during Monday's budget committee hearing. "How many people have we helped? How many people are off the street?"

"Because that's what people want to know," he added.


A California Interagency Council on Homelessness (CICH) executive responded that they're dealing with "data quality issues," so metrics are not yet available for how more than $20 billion was spent since the council's inception.

"We're working expeditiously," executive officer Meghan Marshall said.

Senator Ron Johnson blasts Democrats for 'using Covid to exploit absentee balloting'

Katie Daviscourt  |  05/09/2024


On Wednesday’s episode of Human Events Daily with host Jack Posobiec, US Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) discussed the GOP’s election strategy in key battleground states to secure another Donald Trump presidency this November.

The strategy includes beating Democrats at their own game, according to Johnson, who explained the GOP will advocate for early voting which will help the Republican Party secure critical last-minute votes on election day.

Sen. Johnson said that despite the Democrat Party’s attempt to undermine GOP election integrity laws, which paves the way for election fraud, the Republican Party still has a chance to put up a fair fight.

"Democrats want to cheat," he stated. "And so they used Covid to exploit absentee balloting in Wisconsin. There were so many irregularities. It's just galling, to hear 'oh it was an above-board election.'"

Republican are the ones who should be blasted for not doing a damn thing to stop them.  And here we are four years later, another election.  And the same absentee ballot rules the Dems used to steal the election are the same ones they will use to steal the 2024 election.  Why?  Again, because Republicans haven't done Jack to stop them.

Imagine if our worst enemies took control of the US government and attempted to use that control to destroy America.  Now compare that with what Biden is doing.

I never had anyone waiting on the pier for me after we came home from the South China Sea.  Twice.  It wasn't all bad because I would stand duty for anyone who had duty but also family to welcome him home.  It was nice to see the family of the guy who I replaced get together again.  He also didn't have to repay me by taking one of my watches.  It was a small price to pay for helping someone whose family could be there.  I suspect there were more guys who didn't have family waiting than those who did.  And a lot of those who didn't, did as I, take a watch for some other guys so they could be with their families.  A lot of guys who technically were supposed to stay on the ship, got to be with his family one day early because someone stepped in to help them out.

McClintock would have been awesome.

Last I heard, the debt was somewhere around $60B, not $21B...someone's cooking the books.

The State of California has been cooking the books for so long that the books have transitioned from "hammered" to "whole burnt offering". $$ gets shuffled from one budgetary area to another. Gas tax and DMV fee $$ that should be used for road/highway building and maintenance has been funneled into Sacred Mass Transit boondoggles for decades (think Moonbeam 1.0). Teachers' and state employees' pension funds have been underfunded for decades.

This is a big part of why I was and am so POed that R Mo-o-o-o-o-oooooooderates ego-stroked Ahnold the RINO into running for governor in the Gray Davis recall. State Rep Tom McClintock would have won instead, and he knew where every budgetary skeleton-closet was and where every budgetary body was buried. Ahnold the RINO was a budgetary invertebrate!

We have rules here about excerpting articles.  Why do you feel the rules here somehow don't apply to you?  It's not difficult.

‘Welcome Home’–For Years His Family Waited for His Return. Now, He Waits for His Daughter.
APRIL 24, 2024| IVAN F. INGRAHAM
 
My wife and I sit in a large auditorium in El Paso, Texas, waiting in anticipation, along with other families, for our daughter’s return from deployment. Upbeat music fills the air and the feeling in the assembled crowd is of a group of fans awaiting a rock band to take the stage. This isn’t far off. The main characters are our own family members—the balloons, signs, and flowers overt displays of affection marking the safe return of mothers and fathers, husbands and wives, daughters and sons.

I watch young children playing and dancing to the music. Each is more interested in the other kids than in sitting patiently next to their nervous parents. Children have an innate ability to find fun in anything, even if it’s just running around together, or making up some game whose rules don’t matter. I glance at young mothers holding very small babies, likely for the first introduction to their fathers since deploying nine months earlier.
 

Through a side door, a crowd of soldiers is seen forming up, faceless in an amoebic mob dressed in MultiCam utilities, yet comprised of individuals, each with their own experiences and desires. The air comes alive with anxious expectation, but, like most things in the military, this prolongs the waiting for their arrival. Hurry up and wait goes both ways.
