San Francisco started keeping stats on homeless folks who are being offered shelter according to\u00a0 TV station KRON4. After all, winter’s a comin’ (and as anyone who has been there can tell you, Mr. Twain was right when he said “the coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco.”) But to no avail.<\/p>\n

In November, the city\u2019s Street Outreach encampment workers offered shelter to 350 people, Breed said.<\/p>\n

Of those, 213 people refused shelter and 117 accepted it.<\/p>\n

November was actually an improvement over the previous month, according to Mayor Breed. In a thread posted to X, formerly Twitter, Breed said that in October, 65% of those contacted at encampments refused shelter. In September, 60% refused.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur outreach workers will keep offering shelter, and with the addition of 300 more beds we\u2019ve just opened, we have even more help to offer,\u201d Breed said. \u201cWe are continuing to help people exit homelessness with financial assistance, relocation support, and housing options.\u201d\u00a0 KRON4 <\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Seems like some folks just don’t want help. Oh, and I saw a quick article in which Buster Posey says he thinks the Giants would have had a better shot at Shohei Ohtani had SF not degenerated into an extremely expensive swamp. NBC Sports<\/a><\/p>\n

Staying in Kalifornia, Kamala Harris’ campaign hired a new spox, former Clintonista Brian Fallon.<\/p>\n

He’s spent the past several years leading Demand Justice, a progressive judicial advocacy organization.<\/p>\n

Fallon’s group started with efforts to discredit Republican judicial picks while backing Democratic nominees and has since morphed into more advocacy-based endeavors, such as expanding the Supreme Court, or “court packing,” along with the lower courts.<\/p>\n

During a 2020 podcast episode, Fallon explained why his organization started leaning into court packing, citing advice from left-wing activist Elie Mystal, who has said he would push for the addition of 10 new Supreme Court Justices so that there are 19 total. He has also called the Constitution “trash.”\u00a0 Fox News<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Oh, and he has also spoken in favor of defunding the police. What a surprise.<\/p>\n

Let’s close out in Georgia…in a surprise move, NOT with Tracey Abrams (who usually offers so much to work with). Today, we have a new face:<\/p>\n

Barbara Furlow-Smiles led DEI initiatives at Facebook \u2014 now called Meta \u2014 from 2017 to 2021, according to the US Attorney’s Office in Georgia.<\/p>\n

A former top Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion manager at Facebook has pleaded guilty to embezzling millions from the social media company as part of a sprawling kickback scheme, federal prosecutors announced this week.<\/p>\n

She “knowingly devised and intended to devise a scheme and artifice to defraud Facebook \u2026 and to obtain money and property by means of materially false and fraudulent pretenses, representations, and promises, and by omission of material facts,” prosecutors said in court documents viewed by Business Insider.\u00a0 Business Insider<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Diversion, Extortion, and Insider theft…guess she misunderstood what DEI was supposed to stand for. Four MILLION different ways.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
