Democrat Commiefornia Governor Gavin Newsom’s Homelessness Crisis Solution: Spend More Money on Same Programs That Caused the Problem in the First Place

California accounts for 12 % of the U.S. population but has over 25 % of the nation ’ s homeless people .

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. This quote, often wrongly attributed to Albert Einstein, needs to be revised to fit California Democrats’ formula for problem solving. California insanity is taking the same failed policies and “fixing” them by throwing more money at them.
Governor Gavin Newsom is in the hot seat. He’s a master of rhetoric and echoing the radical progressivism that destroyed San Francisco and is now spreading across the state. This is why the homelessness problem he helped to create when he was mayor of the leftist mecca has become a statewide epidemic. California accounts for 12% of the U.S. population but has over 25% of the nation’s homeless people. Newsom’s solution is to downplay the massive amounts of money being wasted on failed programs and triple it.
California governor Gavin Newsom orders agencies to find land to use for homeless shelters Newsom signed an executive order Wednesday directing agencies under his command to identify state land that could be used as temporary shelter locations for the homeless. The order also kick-starts a creating a $750 million fund that providers could tap to pay rents, fund affordable housing or aid boarding and care homes. In addition, the Democratic governor said the final portion of $650 million in emergency homeless aid to cities and counties approved in June was being released Wednesday after a final federal homelessness count. The report by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development found California’s homeless population increased 16% last year, to about 151,000 people. That’s more than a quarter of the national total.
Lest we forget, these aren’t new solutions. They’re variations on things progressives have been trying for years, but more importantly they’re massive expansions on programs that have been demonstrated to do nothing to mitigate homelessness. It’s essentially a massive homeless persons relocation ploy that does little to address the core issue while spending billions in a short amount of time to disguise the problem.
It’s the “kind” solution, one that doesn’t “victimize” those suffering from the various problems that cause homelessness. But its fundamental flaw is that it only addresses the surface issue of homelessness visibility. They aren’t taking the proper steps to prevent people from becoming homeless, nor are they establishing a realistic path for people who are currently homeless to receive the assistance they need to improve their situation. Instead, it’s focused on removing homeless people from visibility on city streets and relocate them en masse to designated public lands.
In essence, these programs are designed remove homeless people from view, not help them change their circumstances. They will all still be homeless, but they’ll be homeless somewhere else. Out of sight, out of mind.
Real solutions
To solve a problem, one must understand it. This is the major disconnect in Newsom’s various solutions over the years as he has attempted to juggle his progressive sensibilities with the fact that those sensibilities are part of the problem. Democrats talk about substance abuse, mental illness, and unskilled workers not having enough opportunity. But they tie the hands of law enforcement and make it conducive for substance abusers to continue abusing. Their mental illness solutions tend to only apply to those who are a cognizant enough and willing to seek treatment. And, of course, they only inflate cost of living with insane taxes that make it impossible for many to make ends meat.
A program in Albuquerque drew national attention a few years back. It was heralded by some as a “conservative solution” to homelessness. While it had some distinctly conservative tenets such as the appreciation of hard work and increased opportunity over welfare programs, it had its flaws. But where it succeeded, it succeeded tremendously and should be examined as one among many solutions California and the rest of the nation should consider adopting.
The funny part is the program, like so many good solutions to homelessness, was quite simple. Vans would drive around looking for panhandlers. They would offer them work for the day, and then drive them to areas where the city needed basic manual labor like picking up garbage. They’d pay them $9/hour and offer them access to shelters, substance abuse services, and mental health institutions.
‘It Makes You Human Again’ The van program has earned national media attention, and dozens of cities are looking into duplicating it, but it’s just one part of an array of interlocking initiatives that in just five years has turned the largest city in one of the nation’s poorest states into a national leader in the effort to address homelessness—a counterpoint to San Francisco, a wealthy city that’s spent large amounts to deal with a homelessness crisis with little to show for it . What makes Albuquerque’s holistic approach so attractive to other urban executives is how it marries liberal and conservative principles—no questions-asked charity and an old-fashioned work ethic. The city is putting the people most at risk of dying on the streets into homes straightaway, which has saved dozens of lives and has realized net savings to the taxpayer of more than $2 million a year. Forward-thinking social service agencies have built successful day labor and job placement programs for homeless people who had little hope of getting work on their own. Activists have convinced city and county officials to fund the creation of a sturdy village of tiny homes (rather than tents) for people currently living on the street. And, perhaps most important, a series of excessive force cases by the Albuquerque Police Department prompted voters to tax themselves to beef up mental health and substance abuse programs weakened by budget cuts.
One of the key tenets of federalism is allowing individual government entities from local, city, county, and state levels to experiment with solutions that others can then adopt or innovate. While there were problems with the Albuquerque experiment, there were demonstrable successes and benefits upon which to build. And unlike the Newsom series of solutions, this one didn’t have to cost taxpayers extra. The costs associated with it were mostly mitigated by cost savings to the city.
Real roadblocks
The key to California’s failure to find viable solutions to the various components of homelessness is the state’s addiction to regulating everything. Very few things can happen in California without permission from the overseers in Sacramento. Those who can make it past Sacramento’s red tape are then tasked with overcoming regulatory objections from city and county governments. Valid programs are often shut down or prevented from starting because they couldn’t meet the high standards imposed by government. It’s not as easy as just getting food and feeding the homeless. Many who do so are likely breaking some sort of California or local law.

As progressive Forbes writer Michael Shellenberger noted, California wants everything to be perfect and often won’t allow good solutions to make an immediate impact first.
Why California Keeps Making Homelessness Worse Bales says he was one of the people who urged the US Government’s Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) to intervene. “We’ve been crying out for a National Guard-like response,” said Bales, whose church provides food, showers, and shelter to 1,350 people camped nearby. In 2016 Bales lost the lower half of his leg to a flesh-eating bacteria from contamination on Skid Row. According to Bales and other experts, California made homelessness worse by making perfect housing the enemy of good housing, by liberalizing drug laws, and by opposing mandatory treatment for mental illness and drug addiction. Other states have done a better job despite spending less money. “This isn’t rocket science,” said John Snook, who runs the Treatment Advocacy Center, which advises states on mental health and homelessness policy around the country. “Arizona is a red state that doesn’t spend a ton on its services but is the best scenario in every aspect. World-class coordination with law enforcement. Strong oversight. They don’t let people fall apart and then return to jail in 30 days like California does.”
Then, of course, there’s the insane cost of living. As a Southern California resident for over a dozen years, I still cringe whenever I fill up the gas tank or go to eat at a restaurant. One bedroom apartments in San Francisco rent for $3468 a month on average. Most of this is market driven; it’s hard for me to leave because of access to the best medical care for my family and the amazing weather. Nevertheless, a good chunk of the problem with California’s costs can be attributed to high taxes, zoning restrictions, and building codes that create challenges right at the foundation of homelessness solutions, namely getting them into homes.
A Los Angeles initiative that cost taxpayers $1.2 billion has been unable to build a single unit after three years. Estimates were way off, resulting in a median cost per homeless unit of $531,000. Again, that’s the cost for one living area for a single homeless person. Welcome to Los Angeles, folks.
Three years and $1.2 billion later, Los Angeles has built ZERO homes for the homeless The $1.2 billion bond was supposed to pay for 10,000 housing units spread across 114 projects. The units were supposed to cost between $350,000-$414,000. But with a median cost now over $531,000, including over 1000 units that will cost over $600,000, the 10,000 unit goal has been reduced by 24%. Even with the lower expectations based on higher costs, movement is slow. Of the 114 projects earmarked, only 19 have begun. “The length of time needed to complete these projects does not meet the level of urgency needed to match the magnitude of our homelessness crisis,” a new Los Angeles Controller audit report stated.
As long as California continues to believe their massive homelessness programs aren’t working because they’re underfunded, they’ll continue to throw money at them. But money isn’t the problem. Their solutions are fundamentally flawed.

Iranian National Carrying Multiple Weapons Arrested Near Mar-a-Lago — Had Machete, Pick-Ax, Knives and $22,000 in U.S. Currency [Obama’s Blood Money?]

Masoud Yareioeill Zoleh , an Iranian national , was arrested on Friday on the Flagler Memorial Bridge just four miles from President Trump ’ s Mar-a-Lago .
The Palm Beach Daily News reports that Zoleh had a machete , pick-ax , knives and $ 22,000 in US currency .
Bomb squads also searched the man ’ s car parked at the Palm Beach airport .
The FBI has been notified and federal authorities are assisting in investigating Zoleh who has no known address .
He has been released and has been given a notice to appear in court .
Zoleh @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a brown vest : U.S. Secret Service had just announced on Monday they were stepping up security measures at Mar-a-Lago .
This comes days after the Iranians offered $ 80 million for the murder of President Trump and just 4 days after Ilhan Omar suggested that they attack Trump ’ s properties .
Rep. Ilhan Omar called for President Trump to “ immediately divest from his businesses ” in a tweet today that is hard to fathom .
She claims that somehow Trump could provoke a war over lost revenue…No kidding !
Omar @ @ @ @ @ @ @ business interests are driving his military decisions ” …How so ?
Trump needs to immediately divest from his businesses and comply with the emoluments clause .
Iran could threaten Trump hotels *worldwide* and he could provoke war over the loss of revenue from skittish guests .
His business interests should not be driving military decisions .
She ’ s actually advising the enemy on how to go after President Trump !

And She’s Not?!!! Radical Muslim Democrat Ilhan Omar Attacks Pro-Life Christians: They’re ‘Trying to Impose Their Beliefs on Society’

Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar slammed pro-life Christians for “ trying to impose their beliefs on society ” while she herself advocates for aborting unborn babies and forcing taxpayers to fund abortions .
CNS News reports Omar spoke out against pro-life legislation on the House floor last year , claiming laws that protect the unborn are “ horrifying attacks ” against women ’ s “ reproductive rights.
” “ Religious fundamentalists are currently trying to manipulate the State laws in order to impose their beliefs on an entire society , all with complete disregard for voices and the rights of American @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

“ This isn ’ t about religious morality or conviction , because we have seen time and time again those who talk about their faith and want to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the ones who simply are caught with the hypocrisy of not living it out in their personal lives , ” she continued .
Though many Christians do advocate for unborn babies because of their beliefs , pro-lifers come from many different faiths – or no faith – and political persuasions .

Last Updated on January 10, 2020
The Amish are famous for their real-life “revolt against the modern world” lifestyle, but find themselves in the press for their impressive statures–as recently revealed by a group of four massive drunk teenage Amish boys going viral on social media for their whopping physiques.
Despite rejecting many technological advancements, the Amish still have a knack for getting stuff done.
While there are currently around 40 Amish affiliations around the US–famously clustered in rural Pennsylvania–their antiquated way of life often raises eyebrows for those who view pre-industrial conditions as unnecessarily labor-intensive.
One chilly March morning last year, hundreds of members of the Geauga County Amish community used horse-drawn carriages to travel to Joseph Hochstetler’s farm in Knox County, Ohio, in order to move a pole barn, by bare hand, from one end of the farm to another, in winter.
Around 250 men surrounded the barn, and proceeded to lift the enormous structure in one piece and walk the entire thing approximately 200 feet across a snow-dusted field to its new location.
During the process, the men communicated among themselves to pivot and straighten the barn while it was being carried, before safely laying it to rest on its new spot.
The job itself took less than five minutes to complete.
The impressive muscle power and communication to move the barn captured the attention of local press.
The pole barn is a lighter structure than a more traditional wooden barn.
Nevertheless, maneuvering such an unwieldy building without the use of modern technology cannot be sneezed at.

The name of a former top FBI official who leaked sensitive information over the course of hundreds of communications with at least six reporters can be revealed by the Washington Examiner.
His identity is contained in a 21-page report obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request. The report reveals that investigators for Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz determined that Bryan Paarmann, 53, the deputy assistant director of the FBI’s international operations division from 2016 to 2017, “improperly disclosed court-sealed and law enforcement sensitive information to the media” in violation of FBI rules.
The incident is one Horowitz included as part of what his June 2018 report called the FBI’s “culture of unauthorized media contacts.” A one-page summary of the investigation was released last May.
But Paarmann defended his actions.
“I gave 35 years of faithful and devoted service to this nation and never did I give classified or investigatively sensitive information to the press,” Paarmann told the Washington Examiner. “I never endangered a prosecution and only did what I believed my superiors had tasked me with.”
Although most identifying details about the reporters in question and the cases Paarmann was leaking details of were redacted, the Washington Examiner was able to identify one of the reporters in question, Los Angeles Times reporter Del Wilber, and two of his stories that the DOJ’s watchdog alleged contained details leaked by Paarmann.
A West Point graduate and former U.S. Army officer, Paarmann's website features a photograph of him standing next to Mitt Romney, the junior U.S. senator for Utah and the 2012 Republican presidential candidate, and states: "C. Bryan Paarmann FBI is a 30+ year career public servant who has faithfully and honorably served the United States in a variety of different positions." Another page on his site states: "Bryan Paarmann is protective of his country and is a proud American. In many ways, he has faithfully and honorably served his homeland."
Horowitz’s team reviewed Paarmann’s communications from 2012 through 2017, which showed “extensive contacts” with members of the media, especially in 2016 and early 2017, laying out interactions with at least six reporters. These contacts included hundreds of texts, calls, and emails; over a dozen rounds of golf, including one where the reporter paid for both and another where Paarmann did; private drinks and dinners, including instances where investigators couldn’t determine who paid; a media member’s housewarming party where Paarmann brought wine as a gift; and a $225-ticket dinner, which was free of charge thanks to a member of the media, in violation of FBI rules.
Paarmann and Wilber exchanged 55 calls and emails and met for dinner or drinks four times. The watchdog report pointed to a 2016 article citing a “U.S. law enforcement official,” a “counterterrorism official,” and a “law enforcement official,” which, by matching the phrases, is an article by Wilber about Orlando Pulse nightclub mass shooter Omar Mateen. The report cited another 2016 piece that quoted “a federal law enforcement official who was not authorized to speak publicly about the case,” a phrase that appears in a co-authored piece by Wilber and two others on Dallas cop killer Micah Johnson.
Paarmann acknowledged making many improper disclosures when confronted during an interview with the DOJ’s watchdog, telling investigators in one instance: “I may have dorked that one up.”
But, when texts pointed to lengthy phone calls with reporters regarding investigations but didn’t explicitly show what the conversations were about, he denied leaking. Horowitz’s team didn’t believe Paarmann, saying his demonstrated willingness to divulge sensitive information to these reporters, his knowledge of the cases they were writing about, and his failure to report his media contacts to the FBI made it “more likely than not that Paarmann violated FBI policy by providing law enforcement sensitive information to these reporters.”
Paarmann claimed to investigators that a member of the FBI’s office of public affairs instructed him to “develop friendly cordial relations with the media so that it wasn’t adversarial every time we talked to them and basically be able to educate them.” But the public affairs employee denied this. “I don’t remember giving any type of explicit or implicit guidance to go out and do anything independent of the office of public affairs,” the employee said. “Especially socially.”
The DOJ decided not to prosecute Paarmann. The FBI declined the Washington Examiner's request for comment. Wilber declined to comment.
FBI Director Christopher Wray moved Paarmann into running the FBI’s counterterrorism operations in NYC in 2017, but he has since retired.

Horrific: ‘Progressive,’ Secular Jewish Magazine Publishes Ghoulish ‘How-To’ Guide for Home Abortions

A progressive , secular Jewish magazine has published an utterly garish step-by-step guide advising women on how they can perform an abortion on themselves at home .
The piece , published at “ Jewish Currents , ” is a damning indictment of our culture ’ s view towards the unborn — that they should be treated with utter disregard and be stripped of absolutely any semblance of personhood .
“ For as long as people have gotten pregnant , people have given themselves abortions , ” the piece opens , before launching into a vulgar , illustrative history of how @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unborn children .
The piece references a Libyan plant , “ silphium , ” which was supposedly used as an “ effective contraceptive and abortifacient , ” from the Bronze Age until the 1st or 2nd century .
The real horror , however , comes when the writers explain — in harrowing , clinical detail — how women can self-administer their own abortions at home .
The process is laid out with stark simplicity , two steps of which can be read below : • Get yourself some pills — “ When doctors @ @ @ @ @ @ @ use two drugs : mifepristone and misoprostol .
Mifeprisotone is harder to obtain in person ( although some websites now sell it as part of a combination pack of pills ) , so the instructions here are for misoprostol only , which still has an 85 % success rate at ending a pregnancy when taken alone.
” Shockingly , the piece then seems to suggest , or perhaps even joke , that women with friends in the veterinary field may find it easier to obtain the suitable abortion-inducing drug required .
“ Misoprostol @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in dogs .
If you have a relationship with a local , friendly vet , you might be able to work it to your advantage !
” it notes .
2 .
Prepare yourself — The piece then compares preparing for an abortion as not dissimilar to “ assembling IKEA furniture , ” because “ managing your abortion is easier and safer with a friend.
” “ Make sure this friend is someone you trust to be discreet , to help protect you from legal risk , ” it adds .
The disturbingly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ such a life-shattering event is reflected in the simple illustrations used to narrate the process of terminating a living being .
One such image depicts a woman sat on a couch having swallowed her lethal dose of abortifacients ; a packet of chips and a ginger ale are visible on the table in front of her .
The picture speaks of the astonishing normalization of such a brutal act — though the little life inside her is being swiftly dissolved , the woman looks as if she ’ s settling down for a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Of course , the description of what occurs next is far from light-hearted .
“ You ’ ll know your abortion has begun when you start to cramp and bleed , which can happen anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours after you take the first pills , ” it reads .
“ To avoid infection , use pads for the bleeding , and not tampons or a cup .
Some unpleasant side effects of misoprostol can include dizziness , nausea , vomiting , diarrhea , and headaches , as well as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shocking section of the guide emerges towards the end when the writers appear to suggest a method of inducing abortion that will deceive doctors into believing that it was a natural miscarriage .
This piece of sordid advice is most likely aimed at women living in states where abortions are regulated by laws seeking to protect the unborn .
“ The good news is , if you ’ ve followed the instructions , there ’ s no medical way for a doctor to tell whether you ’ ve taken pills to induce abortion @ @ @ @ @ @ @ miscarriage , ” it reads .
“ The only way a doctor will know is if you or your friend share the information , which you absolutely do not have to do.
” The vile guide was highlighted by Alexandra DeSanctis of the National Review , who posted it on Twitter .
A pro-life journalist , DeSanctis was met with a barrage of responses from people expressing their deep horror and disgust at the piece .
“ Awful .
Do they give instructions on what to do when you start hemorrhaging ?
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deliver your tiny 10 week old baby in your hands and see that it is fully formed and it ’ s not just a clump of cells like you had been told ?

“For as long as people have gotten pregnant, people have given themselves abortions,” the piece opens, before launching into a vulgar, illustrative history of how women down the ages have terminated their unborn children.
The piece references a Libyan plant, “silphium,” which was supposedly used as an “effective contraceptive and abortifacient,” from the Bronze Age until the 1st or 2nd century.
The real horror, however, comes when the writers explain — in harrowing, clinical detail — how women can self-administer their own abortions at home.

If you have a relationship with a local, friendly vet, you might be able to work it to your advantage!” it notes.
2. Prepare yourself — The piece then compares preparing for an abortion as not dissimilar to “assembling IKEA furniture,” because “managing your abortion is easier and safer with a friend.”
“Make sure this friend is someone you trust to be discreet, to help protect you from legal risk,” it adds.
I thought this was for sure just a really unfortunate attempt at a joke or something, but nope, it’s actually an illustrated guide to at-home abortions. — Alexandra DeSanctis (@xan_desanctis) January 9, 2020
The disturbingly casual nature with which the writers describe such a life-shattering event is reflected in the simple illustrations used to narrate the process of terminating a living being.
One such image depicts a woman sat on a couch having swallowed her lethal dose of abortifacients; a packet of chips and a ginger ale are visible on the table in front of her. The picture speaks of the astonishing normalization of such a brutal act — though the little life inside her is being swiftly dissolved, the woman looks as if she’s settling down for a quiet afternoon in front of the TV.
Of course, the description of what occurs next is far from light-hearted.
“You’ll know your abortion has begun when you start to cramp and bleed, which can happen anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours after you take the first pills,” it reads. “To avoid infection, use pads for the bleeding, and not tampons or a cup. Some unpleasant side effects of misoprostol can include dizziness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and headaches, as well as fever and chills.”
Perhaps the most shocking section of the guide emerges towards the end when the writers appear to suggest a method of inducing abortion that will deceive doctors into believing that it was a natural miscarriage. This piece of sordid advice is most likely aimed at women living in states where abortions are regulated by laws seeking to protect the unborn.

Here are all the lyrics to 21 Years:
Woke up cuz the light poured in
Day 2 let the flood begin
Day 1 left me in my bed
I can barely remember it
Heart shattered in a thousand ways
They tell me pain gonna come in waves
They tell me I’m gonna be ok
I’m still waiting for the first to break
Why would You give and then take him away
Suddenly end could You not let it fade
What I would give for a couple of days, a couple of days
Is it just across the Jordan
Or a city in the stars
Are you singing with the angels
Are you happy where you are
Well until this show is over
And you run into my arms
God has you in heaven
But I have you in my heart
I just can’t make sense of this
Everything is so dissonant
Somebody said he was meant for this
But I’m just straight missing him
I wanna wake up to your laugh at 2
Catch you when you steal my shoes
Say good morning, afternoon
Talk you through those “Alex blues”
Listen to your latest beats
Talk about what the lyrics mean
Venmo you another loan
See you do your 2nd show
You said you’d turn, you would turn it around
Thought that you had time to straighten it out
Told me that you were my prodigal son
But this isn’t home
Did he see You from a long way off
Running to him with a Father’s heart
Did You wrap him up inside Your arms
And let him know, that he’s home
21 years makes a man full-grown
21 years, what a beautiful loan
21 years, I love every one
Thank you, Lord, for my beautiful son
