The city of San Francisco is using tax dollars to buy vodka and beer for homeless alcoholics. Who thought this was a good idea? Aside from the issue of using tax dollars to do this, how is this good for the homeless alcoholics? Shouldn’t the goal be to get these people off the street and into treatment? How are these people helped by the city feeding their addiction? Homeless alcoholics are getting free beer and vodka under a taxpayer-funded pilot program in San Francisco as city leadership grapples with the homelessness crisis plaguing its streets. The city’s Department of Public Health runs the Managed Alcohol Program (MAP) to give doses of alcohol to the addicted, Fox News reported on Saturday. Officials hope the program will “keep the homeless off the streets” and decrease incidents in which emergency services have to step in. So are they going to buy fentanyl for the druggies next? They already do supply some drugs, needles, etc. to addicts. Not sure about fentanyl. So sad. Such a beautiful city. Used to be a beautiful city................ So glad I left California! @yohanan California has such great weather and beautiful land. It used to be called the Golden State. So sad that the “liberals” have messed it up. Get away from the big cities, and there are still a lot of decent people there. “Liberal” is a misnomer for these crazy control freaks that run the state. So sad. @erby Driving through the central valley on the 5 freeway and you'd think you were in the heart of the Bible belt. The billboards are very Christian-centric. The liberals really have destroyed a beautiful place with their idiotic policies. Even St. Louis is going nuts. A homeless encampment in the Steak N Shake parking lot! In a remarkable breakthrough, 18-month-old Opal Sandy from Britain has become the first and youngest person worldwide to regain hearing through innovative gene therapy. Interesting Engineering reports that Opal, who was born completely deaf due to a rare genetic condition called auditory neuropathy, received the groundbreaking treatment at Addenbrooke’s in Cambridge. The therapy, known as DB-OTO, targets cases with OTOF mutations, which affect the production of the protein otoferlin, crucial for communication between the inner ear and the auditory nerve. The CHORD trial, which began in May 2022, aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of DB-OTO gene therapy. Opal underwent the procedure under general anesthesia, where a harmless AAV1 virus containing the genetic material was injected into her cochlea. This virus delivers a copy of the gene to the cells, helping restore hearing functions before being naturally eliminated from the body. ....monitoring revealed significant improvements, with Opal being able to hear whispers at 24 weeks post-treatment. Opal’s parents, Jo and James Sandy, are thrilled with the success of the therapy and proud that their daughter can now hear even quieter sounds. They hope that this breakthrough will help other children and families, as it significantly improves the quality of life. @patrician I wonder how many people have had their hearing restored through prayer and the laying on of hands? I've seen a few. Sens. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., and Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., introduced two measures that, if passed, would achieve a similar objective: to place individuals on the nation’s No Fly List who encourage violence against Jewish persons and support terrorist organizations. Their bill, the No Flights For Terrorists Act, along with an amendment to the U.S. Code, would require the FBI to put on the No Fly List anyone who calls for violence against Jewish people, pledges allegiance to Hamas or other U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organizations, or has been disciplined by higher education institutions for committing such acts. Marshall and Blackburn also cosponsored a bill filed by Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., to ban any student loan forgiveness for protesters convicted of a crime while protesting on U.S. college campuses. The war in Ukraine has just moved to an entirely new level, but most Americans do not even realize that we are closer to “nuclear Armageddon” than ever. Very early on the morning of May 10th, Russian forces began to pour across Ukraine’s border north of Kharkiv. In the short-term this will enable the Russians to create a buffer zone around the Belgorod region and force Ukraine to pull desperately needed forces away from the eastern front. But eventually I believe that the Russians fully intend to take Kharkiv, and that would be an absolutely devastating blow. Needless to say, losing Ukraine’s second-largest city is not an option for Ukraine’s western backers, and they are determined to do whatever it takes to keep that from happening. It would be hard to overstate the importance of what we just witnessed. Russian forces have come across the border in an area that is far away from any other current conflict zone. UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron says that Russia has basically “invaded [Ukraine] again”… Ukraine is clearly losing the war, and western leaders are getting desperate. The U.S. is going to continue to pour billions of dollars into Ukraine, but everyone can see that isn’t going to be enough to alter the trajectory of the conflict. The only way that Ukraine will be able to win is for NATO to intervene directly, and that is dangerously close to becoming a reality. For example, politicians in Germany actually want to use NATO air defense systems based in Poland and Romania “to protect the western regions of Ukraine from Russian drones”… It is also being reported that the Germans are now considering conscripting all 18-year-olds… I was stunned when I saw that. I don’t think that young people in Germany will be too thrilled about being forced to go into the military. But this is where we are at. NATO really is on the brink of a hot war with Russia. Speaking of NATO, the largest military exercises that the alliance has organized since the Cold War are being conducted right now… The power-hungry global elites are telling the world they have “watered down” the Pandemic Treaty that will hand over pandemic response to The World Health Organization. Do NOT believe them. WHO globalists are in the process of duping the 194 member nations into a sense of security before they quietly pounce. There has been tremendous pushback after many of us sounded the alarm. Once we realized the original proposed treaty would give the W.H.O. the power to mandate lockdowns, vaccines, and vaccine passports in response to a so-called “pandemic,” we started a massive campaign to expose the plot. If passed and ratified by the U.S., it would give foreign bureaucrats wide-ranging power over us. That is unacceptable. Reports are emerging that The W.H.O. elites plan on using back-room secret negotiations to slip back in the original language to include the ability to lock us down and enforce global mandates. If the back-room dealing is unsuccessful, The Daily Mail is reporting these medical oligarchs will try to use their annual “Convention of Parties” to amend the treaty to include the widest range of damaging, overreaching tyrannical policies. One of the world’s foremost experts on the pandemic response and how these globalists partnered with Big Pharma to wage war on the world is epidemiologist Dr. Harvey Risch. He has made it his mission to expose the COVID Bio-weapon plot and those responsible for it. He is our guest.
