San Francisco is giving taxpayer-funded shots of vodka to homeless alcoholics in $5m/year program
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Program provides beer and vodka shots to homeless alcoholics

  • Aims to curb excessive drinking among the homeless and prevent deaths

  • Despite criticisms about enabling addiction, officials argue it saves money

#1  "It saves money". Get away from saving money and get a profit center. Think Soylent Green.

#2  I think he meant to say it saves them money, then it makes sense. Or he's an idiot.

#8  I'm not an alcoholic, homeless, or a counselor to alcoholics. I thought even one drink for an alcoholic was too many.

#9  I don’t want to be a naysayer, but serving a homeless man a free of vodka does not prevent the homeless man from finding more alcohol someplace else. Maybe the program includes some DMV bureaucracy to waste a bunch of his time.

Maria Bartiromo GOES OFF on Spineless and Silent GOP Lawmakers
[Gateway] FOX News anchor Maria Bartiromo held nothing back as she confronted Congressman Russell Fry (R-SC) during an interview, expressing her frustration—and that of the public—at the inaction of the GOP lawmakers and lack of accountability amid the ongoing witch hunts against former President Donald Trump.

As Trump faces these politically motivated witch hunts—with nearly 100 felony counts across four jurisdictions—Bartiromo voiced the exasperation of a public weary of what they see as political theater without substantial outcomes. The counts against Trump carry a potential for roughly 700 years of combined incarceration.

During the interview, Bartiromo voiced the concerns of many Americans who are "sick and tired" of the constant stream of committee hearings and strongly worded letters that lead to no substantial outcomes.

"I want to get your take on the weaponization of government, Congressman, because I know that you’re on this subcommittee. However, I haven’t heard a peep out of this committee while Donald Trump sits in a courtroom in Manhattan all day long, while Joe Biden is over there campaigning, going to all the swing states. What do you want to say about the weaponization of government as Trump sits in that courtroom hearing from a porn star all day long?" Bartiromo asked.

Responding to Bartiromo’s pressing questions about the weaponization of government, Rep. Fry defended his and the committee’s actions, citing recent hearings on free speech and censorship by the Biden regime.

#1  She's calling the worthless Washington 'congress critters' out because she (and everyone else) knows they are complicit in the legal harassment of Trump and have been for years.

He's simply not part of the Washington establishment team.

Pelosi rebuked to her face during Oxford debate after condemning Americans clouded by 'guns, gays, God'

#2  Ref#1

In no uncertain terms, it is made clear that if you attack the "aristocracy" of the demokrat ruling class, you get crushed with the full weight of government. Same intentional display as the J6 persecutions, massive over-reaction to set an example and cow the peasants.

#3  That entire incident was weird. I lived in the Bay Area for 8 years. Weird stuff does happen in SF because it is fully stocked with weirdos and drugs. That incident was exceptionally weird.
