Stuff you may or may not know about your local, state, and federal government

Fooled Again

Los Angeles voters appear to have passed the “homeless assistance” tax, Measure H, on Tuesday.

As I warned earlier, this increase in sales tax hurts the working poor the most. You can read my analysis HERE.

Well it looks like the REAL goal of the tax is now coming out. Originally the sales tax increase was to help with mental health care for the homeless. The reporting now says ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about mental healthcare.

The Los Angles Times (the LA TASS, for the komrades of the city) reports that the money from the tax will be used as follows, “The new sales tax revenue would pay for services attached to those units and provide rental subsidies and services for thousands more units across the county”.  You can read a copy of the LA TASS article HERE.

Anyone see mental health in that statement?

Okay, so the working poor, which makes up the majority of the LA populace is subsidizing those who don’t work. What an excellent plan!

The rich, vote to steal from the poor to give to the poorer. Makes the rich feel good about living in their mansions with BIG F’ING WALLS around them.

As one commentator said, the rich want the poor and illegals cleaning their houses and serving their food, but they NEVER want to invite them in or have them as friends.  They might even throw a few shekels at them and say some pleasantries, but that’s about as far as it goes.  Ever see low income housing or a homeless encampment in Brentwood, Beverly Hills, or Bel Air?

Nuff said.

I Left My Brain In San Francisco…

Frisco needs a new worldwide marketing plan. “Welcome Terrorists! Come to the City by the Bay and plot your attacks against the Great Satan!”

If you haven’t read the latest from the PRK, Friscoites have decided to stop working with the federal Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) in the latest tantrum against President Trump. Their argument is that Muslims and Arabs are unfairly targeted by the JTTF.  Sheesh, get over it.  Hillybob lost.

Well let’s look at a couple of factoids. Hezbollah sets up rocket launchers near and IN hospitals, school yards, and homes to blend in, making it harder for Israel to find them after they launch their rockets across the border. In almost every conflict in the Middle East, the bad guys use the cover of civilians during the fighting. Shooting from within a crowd of unarmed people was a very common tactic in Iraq. And how many non-Arabs and non-Muslims were using these tactics?  In France and Belgium almost ALL the terrorist come from Islamic enclaves within the city.  Now tell me again why it’s bad to focus on a particular group.  It’s not a needle in a haystack problem. It’s finding a particular piece of hay in a haystack.

How many “innocent” locals were giving up the bad guys? Thankfully there were some that helped root out the terrorists. Most stayed silent because the terrorists, well they terrorize the locals into keeping quiet.

Of course terrorists would live peacefully in the La-la-land socialist utopia of inclusive and progressive Frisco, where everyone is happy and loving all the time. Friscoites are so inclusive and loving in Oakland, “The Crime Capital of The San Francisco Bay Area”,  that the berg is always listed among the top “Most Dangerous Cities in the United States”.  A nice result when you don’t want  law enforcement to “offend” anyone.

Heck why don’t we let the terrorists set up training camps in some of the abandoned buildings in Oakland?  They would probably do a nice job renovating them with some “Death to the Great Satan” street murals.  And they would provide a great multi-cultural learning experience to the kids.  I bet the gang members would love to learn bomb making techniques.

Oh well…

“Hey, Teacher, Leave Those Kids Alone!”…

All in all it’s just another brick in the wall.” From the song, “The Wall” by Pink Floyd

President Trump campaigned on and maintains that there will be “A BIG BEAUTIFUL WALL” between the United States and Mexico.

Personally I’m all for securing the border. Whether it’s a physical wall or an electronic wall, I don’t really care. A country without borders, is not a country.

I keep hearing arguments from the crazy people that a wall is divisive. Well that gets a bid “DUH“. It’s supposed to be. you idiots! It divides the boundary of our country from theirs. Brilliant.

I often hear the late President Reagan quoted by the crazy folks. They use his quote to Gorbachev, “Tear down this wall“. What amazes me is that the loons fail to differentiate the purpose of the Berlin Wall and the wall President Trump has proposed. One wall was to KEEP PEOPLE IN. The other wall is meant to KEEP PEOPLE AND CONTRABAND OUT. I didn’t see people from the Western countries climbing over or tunneling under the Berlin Wall to get to the Eastern nirvana of the communism. I don’t recall hoards of ex-capitalists getting machine gunned down as they cut the concertina wire to become comrades in the Soviet Union.  Hmm, never heard any reports of folks trying to give their ill gotten wealth to Gorby as atonement for living a corrupt Western lifestyle.  Well, today maybe all the “progressives” would try to go over the Berlin Wall if it still existed. They seem to want a communistic society.

I thought the lyrics from the song are apropos, as it seems a the loud mouths on the progressive left and their media cohorts can’t tell the difference between IN and OUT.
