Billionaire Michael Moritz slams Dem-run San Francisco's drug-addled 'zombie zones'
Everyone is conservative about what they know best, ‘tis said.
[NYPOST] A billionaire venture capitalist and partner at Sequoia Capital
...a China-linked investment company that donated to the execrable Lincoln Project alongside Bain Capital and other left-leaning groups. Partner Michael Moritz personally donated $100,000 two years ago. On the other hand, they heavily backed Elon Musk’s Twitter acquisition, so there are some brains there....
has blasted the Socialist paradise of San Francisco
...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964...
’s seedy, drug-addled downtown — lambasting the city’s Democrat leadership that "bans plastic straws but permits plastic needles."

"It’s a strange city that bans plastic straws but permits plastic needles. Yet that’s San Francisco today," Michael Moritz,
...he’s Sir Michael, KBE back in the olde countrie, possibly as thanks for massive donations to Oxford University, but over here he worked as a journalist before moving into investing. He’s been objecting to the homeless on San Francisco’s streets since 2016 — hopefully the many boards he’s on listen better than San Fran’s politicians...
68, seethed in a fiery
...a single two-syllable word carrying connotations of both incoherence and viciousness. A fiery delivery implies an audience of rubes and yokels, preferably forming up into a mob...
op-ed published in the Financial Times on Wednesday.

"Between 2020 and 2022, 1,985 people here have died from drug overdoses compared to 1,143 from Covid-19," he added.

The former journalist-turned-investor said rampant and unchecked drug use has turned the City by the Bay into a "zombie" land.

"Fentanyl, the synthetic drug that is 50 times more powerful than and a fraction of the cost of heroin, has turned many blocks of the city into zombie zones," Moritz wrote.

Moritz provided a lengthy list of the issues plaguing San Francisco, including "the highest commercial office vacancy rates of any big city in the US" and "a public school system whose enrollment has fallen and which has only 55 percent English proficiency and 46 percent maths proficiency."

The venture capitalist also decried the sky-high housing costs that make the city "prohibitively expensive for all but the wealthy."

Government Corruption
Former VP Mike Pence subpoenaed in Trump probe into 2021 US Capitol attack
[IsraelTimes] Ex-veep’s testimony sought to shed light on former president’s bid to block Congress certification of Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. Old, boring, a plagiarist, fond of hair sniffing and grabbing the protruding parts of women, and not whatcha call brilliant. Just look at the competent way he dumped Afghanistan...
’s 2020 election victory

Former US vice president Mike Pence has been subpoenaed by the special counsel investigating Donald Trump
...Oh, noze! Not him!...
and his role in the January 6, 2021 assault on the Capitol, US media reported Thursday.

The Justice Department appointed Jack Smith as special counsel to oversee federal probes into Trump’s role in the riot, as well as his handling of classified documents stored at his Florida beach club.

The subpoena "follows months of negotiations between federal prosecutors and Pence’s legal team," ABC News reported.

Pence’s testimony could help shed light on Trump’s bid to block the certification by Congress of Joe Biden’s election victory.

Trump publicly pressured Pence, who presided over the session of Congress, not to certify the election results, but the vice president resisted his demands.

Pence has denounced Trump’s actions on January 6 as "reckless" but declined to answer questions from a congressional committee investigating the Capitol attack.

Trump, who has announced a new White House run in 2024, could try to block Pence’s testimony by citing executive privilege, as he has tried to do with other former officials.

Pence is believed to be considering a run for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024 but has not yet announced his candidacy.

Smith will determine whether Trump should face any charges, though Attorney General Merrick Garland
...Attorney General of the U.S., who classifies indignant parents as domestic terrorists. The is the respected legal scholar Obama nominated for the Supreme Court...
will have the ultimate say on whether charges should be filed.

Ex-FBI agent Nicole Parker: Bureau 'politically weaponized, starting from the top'
[NYPOST] Former FBI
...Formerly one of the world's premier criminal investigation organizations, something for a nation to be proud of. Now it's a political arm of the Deep State oligarchy that is willing to trump up charges, suppress evidence, or take out insurance policies come election time...
Special Agent Nicole Parker testified to a House panel investigating the "weaponization" of the federal government that the bureau is plagued by "low morale," has become "politically weaponized," and has lowered its standards for new agents.

Parker’s emotional testimony Thursday highlighted the first hearing by the new House Judiciary Committee’s Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government.

"Over the course of my 12-plus years of service, the FBI’s trajectory transformed," said Parker.

"The FBI became politically weaponized, starting from the top in Washington [and] trickling down to the field offices," she alleged, saying that it felt "as if there became two FBIs."

Parker, who worked out of the FBI’s Miami field office, resigned from the bureau last year and publicly announced that she had left in an op-ed for Fox News last month, from which she borrowed much of her testimony on Thursday.

In the op-ed, Parker claimed the bureau has been troubled by "one politicization issue after another," citing the case of agents in FBI vests who knelt with Black Lives Matter protesters in Washington following the murder of St. George Floyd
...the patron saint of Minneapolis, a sterling example for our children and indeed for us all. St. George was martyed by the Devil's agents in blue while standing on a street corner preaching tolerance and racial justice or something like that...
by Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin.

"Although agents have their First Amendment rights, they are not at liberty to publicly express any potential political support while on duty wearing official FBI gear," Parker wrote, adding that it was "appalling" that the agents were not even reprimanded.

Hunter Biden lawyer refuses House GOP demand for records of biz deals
[NYPOST] Hunter Biden
...son of President Joe: cashiered from the Navy, a crackhead, wheeler dealer, leg humper, horn dog, and general all around ne'er do well. We're supposed to feel sorry for him...
’s attorney has refused to hand over records about the first son’s controversial overseas business dealings, claiming the House Oversight Committee doesn’t have the power to demand the documents.

Hunter’s lawyer, Abbe Lowell, cited a 2020 ruling by the US Supreme Court
...the political football known as The Highest Court in the Land, home of penumbrae and emanations...
that found House Democrats’ demands for the financial records and tax returns of former President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and whatever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
and his family were too broad and threatened the constitutional separation of powers.

"Peddling your own inaccurate and baseless conclusions under the guise of a real investigation, turns the Committee into ’Wonderland’ and you into the Queen of Hearts shouting, ’sentence first, verdict afterwards,'" Lowell told panel chairman James Comer (R-Ky.), referencing "Alice in Wonderland."

Lowell concluded his four-page letter to Comer by offering "to sit with you and your staff, including the ranking member and his staff, to see whether Mr. Biden has information that may inform some legitimate legislative purpose and be helpful to the Committee."

Raised Jewish, Michigan GOP leadership candidate now says she’s a Messianic Jew
Couldn't she have just pretended to be Black or Native American like everybody else? The local Republican Party organizations need to do a better job of vetting their potential candidates.
[IsraelTimes] Lena Epstein, who previously presented herself as Jewish but faced criticism after hosting Messianic ’rabbi,’ admits she has been baptized ’into the Christian faith’

A US candidate for chair of the Michigan Republican Party who faced criticism after inviting a Messianic "rabbi" to offer a prayer for the victims of the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting in 2018 has now announced that she is a "Jewish Messianic believer of Christ."

Lena Epstein, who was raised Jewish, made the comments Tuesday at a candidate forum hosted by the conservative group Ottawa County Patriots at a Baptist church in Holland, Michigan. She said her running mate for party co-chair, Pastor Donald Eason of Metro Church of Christ in Sterling Heights, Michigan, was the one who had "baptized me into the Christian faith."

#1  This is odd to me. I am of Irish decent. My family is Protestant but I converted to Catholicism as a gift to my wife. I remain of Irish decent. To my understanding, the people that have persecuted Jews throughout the centuries have rarely been concerned with their worship practices. I am told that criticizing George Soros, who, I assume, doesn’t practice his faith, is anti-Semitic.

#5  I remain of Irish decent.

The thing is that Judaism is a religion as well as an ethnicity, Super Hose. Once you turn away from the religion by converting to something else — as Jews for Jesus and Messianic Jews do by being baptised into Christianity — you no longer are counted among the Jews despite your DNA. This is where it differs from Christianity and Islam, which separate belief from community identity. We have 2500 years of Jews converting to the dominant religion and melting into the local population, turning their backs on their Jewish relations.

Ms Epstein is clearly aware of this, which is why she obfuscated her situation, and why the local Jewish community objected to her self-identification. The fact is, she could have appealed to Jewish voters by being sympathetic to their needs, without pretending.

#6  The only fealty we owe our DNA is to get the genetically predisposed traits and diseases.

Religion you must carry in your heart, not wear on your sleeve.

In the day-to-day, it's no more anyone else's business than your bank balance, ballot choices or sexual preferences.

But lots of people have to get up on a soap box and peddle it on every street corner.

At that degree of cheapened trade, it's not much of a faith, whatever faith it might be.

#7  A former friend (he got radicalized in the Obama election) told me that he was a "Atheist Socialist Jew". To my thought you can not be a Jew and an Atheist but he was adamant about clinging to the minority status...

#8  told me that he was a "Atheist Socialist Jew".

The Enlightenment philosopher Baruch Spinoza was drummed out of the Amsterdam Jewish community during the 17th century — twice — for atheism, magpie, one of many precedents on the subject. But Israel still accepts them as Jews so long as they haven’t converted to another religion like Christianity or Islam, as we saw with the Soviet Jewish exodus a generation ago.

#9  Trailing Wife, I understand the concept. I expected to disowned by a couple of family members but I was not. My grandmother did use the slur “mackerel snapper,” but with love. Pretty good for a NH Yankee who considered Boston Irish Catholics to be riff raff. I also saw a Catholic friend break down in tears because his sister married a Mormon and was “lost.”

Jewish culture is very interesting. My mother has had me take her to the Maltz Museum in Beechwood a couple of months ago.

#10  I’m glad you weren’t disowned, dear Super Hose. Before the war, my mother’s family in Germany was split between Jews and Lutherans, and while they separated for worship, within the family no differentiation was made. When my mother took the trailing daughters and me to help her celebrate the English translation of her mother’s war memoir we met up with a number of the non-Jewish relatives who had remained afterward — themselves half or a quarter Jewish by blood, thought not by faith, and no less our relations because of it.

I find all cultures interesting. The different ways people think about the things they do!

Clinton has 'Fetterman Eyes' as She Announces Launch of Global ‘Climate Resilience' Fund in India (VIDEO)
[Gateway] The Clintons are back!

The Clinton machine is back in action and restarted its global pay-to-play operation a few months ago.

"Very excited for the return of Clinton Global Initiative next week — now is the time for us to work together and get good things done for people and the planet." Former President Bill Clinton said in September.

Hillary Clinton this week traveled to India to announce the launch of the first global ’climate resilience’ fund.

She looked Trans like hell.

Clinton wore her signature muumuu as she lectured women in Rann of Kutch, Gujarat.

Resolution to expel George Santos from Congress introduced by House Democrat
[NYPOST] A resolution to expel lying Long Island Rep. George Santos from the House of Representatives was introduced Thursday following months of calls for his resignation after he admitted making up nearly everything on his resume during his successful 2022 campaign.

"There’s nothing that we know about him that we know is truthful. He’s lied literally about his entire background," said the resolution’s sponsor, Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.), "This is an unprecedented moment, and the House should come together to expel him."

Santos, 34, admitted to The Post in December that he had lied about much of his purported background — from graduating Baruch College and working for financial giants like Citigroup and Goldman Sachs to claims that his grandparents escaped the Holocaust and his mother died in the 9/11 terror attacks.
