ASKING THE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS: Its Back-To School Time. Do You Have Your Riot Gear?
HOW IT STARTED: In December of 2009, SF Weekly had this classic Fox Butterfield-esque line: “Despite its spending more money per capita on homelessness than any comparable city, [San Francisco’s] homeless problem is worse than any comparable city’s.”
How it’s going: San Francisco Mayor Orders City Staffers to Offer Homeless Bus Tickets Out of Town.
For several years, San Francisco has struggled with crime, drug abuse, and homelessness, which was exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic. The degradation and talk of a “doom loop” has turned away tourists and driven out businesses.
In 2022, the Coalition on Homelessness sued the city, accusing it of violating its rules for removing camps. At one point, the city was hit with a wave of suspicious lawsuits from homeless residents who claimed that city workers had illegally disposed of their valuables – electronics, “priceless” baseball card and stamp collections, art, and “business prototypes.” In early 2023, a federal judge blocked the city from clearing camps.
That changed with the Supreme Court’s ruling in June. During a debate last month, Breed vowed to take action against the sprawling homeless camps that have taken over city parks and sidewalks. “Effective August, we are going to be very aggressive and assertive in moving encampments, which may even include criminal penalties,” she said, according to the San Francisco Standard.
In addition to directing staff to offer relocation services to the homeless, Breed is also requiring police officers, firefighters, and paramedics to carry handouts with information about the city’s relocation services. The city will also establish a tracking system that will publish data about the effectiveness of its relocation efforts.
I’m so old, I can remember when San Fransisco leftists purported to be against bussing.
I THINK THEY SHOULD BRING BACK THE OLYMPIC DUELING EVENT: Big Tech, Media Hates on Shooters Even as One Olympic Shooter Becomes a Viral Phenom.
And yes, pistol dueling was once an Olympic event: “The competition involved two competitors firing at each other with dueling pistols loaded with wax bullets and wearing protective equipment for the torso, face, and hands.”
ME: At least by August 2024 can’t get any weirder.

On a more serious note, Harris managed to be unprepared for the hostage swap that took weeks to negotiate and defaulted to another one of her meaningless word salads.
KAMALA — UNSCRIPTED FOR THE FIRST TIME:
"This is just an extraordinary testament to the importance of having a president who understands the power of diplomacy and understands the strength that rests in understanding the significance of diplomacy."

AFTER TEN MONTHS, BIDEN HAS YET TO MENTION THE FIVE AMERICAN HOSTAGES BY NAME:
It's absurd that a U.S. President (and a presidential candidate, standing next to him) would reject the killing of a terrorist leader as "not helpful."
What Biden should have said: "Terrorists cannot hide. If Hamas leaders want to survive, they should release the hostages now." https://t.co/t134mZeudf

But are you surprised?
Flashback: Joe Biden advised against Osama bin Laden raid, Barack Obama writes.
HMM: Lukashenko Says Biden Had ‘Nothing to Do With’ Historic Prisoner Exchange.
“You saw it happen, the [prisoners] were released. We were asked [to participate] and we got involved, helped in what ways we could,” Lukashenko was quoted as saying by Belarusian state media. “People who were sentenced for life in the West were freed.”
Russian President Vladimir Putin thanked Lukahsenko on Thursday for his “gesture of goodwill and the pardon of a German citizen sentenced to death, R.Krieger.” Earlier this week, the Belarusian leader granted the pardon for Krieger, who was convicted on six criminal counts including terrorism in a secret trial held in late June.
“Of course, someone like the U.S. President will boost his authority with this, even though he had nothing to do with it,” Lukashenko said, referring to Thursday’s exchange.
It’s Lukashenko, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he were lying. But in this case, I wouldn’t be surprised for once if he were telling the truth.
