San Francisco becomes a liberal hell hole
Jazz Shaw: The fact that San Francisco has descended into a hellhole of the state and local governments’ own making is no secret. Crime rates remain out of control and until Chesa Boudin’s recent ouster in a recall, few people were being prosecuted. One of the other, equally serious problems in the City by the Bay is the ongoing epidemic of drug overdoses. Many outdoor areas have turned into open-air illegal drug markets and “safe injection sites” where addicts shoot up sometimes lethal concoctions without any intervention by law enforcement. Illegal drug trafficking leads to cri... read more

Resistance to Biden's Big Green agenda in swing state Nevada
AP: Opposition from friends, not foes, is creating potential roadblocks to President Joe Biden’s green energy agenda on federal lands in the blue-leaning, Western swing state of Nevada.
