California NGO graft: “San Francisco Health Agency Gives Free Booze to Homeless Alcoholics”

According to the San Francisco Chronicle in 2024, the 4-year-old program costs the city $5 million annually, and had “served 55 clients.” That’s $90,909 per “client.”

The CEO was paid $225,794 – for serving 55 homeless alcoholic “clients” in four years.

Every day I see commenters complaining about Pam Bondi. Because she doesn’t arrest enough communists. I see your point, you can never get the bulldog you want. Do you think the AG of your choice would be confirmed by the Senate? The Senate is even more timid. Or do you want the DOJ to have a rotating cast of temporary acting AGs? That’s weak.

“Bondi missing in action at White House as Trump amasses complaints about her”

https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/bondi-missing-in-action-at-white-house-as-trump-amasses-complaints-about-her-report/ar-AA1U8cYd

WSJ original article
“Trump Has Complained About Pam Bondi Repeatedly to Aides. President has privately criticized his attorney general as weak and ineffective in recent weeks”

https://archive.is/1nW7L

Critic says: “The better an attorney is, the more process-oriented they are going to be, and that is in direct opposition to what Trump wants, which is someone who is outcome-oriented. He can never find a great attorney general because, by definition, they can’t be a great lawyer.”

You can’t always get what you want!

I hope someone is doing the process work because Pam spends a lot of her time becoming a TV celebrity. It is not too much to ask with the army of lawyers she has that there be some action by now. So far all I hear are crickets. Time for at least some action we are 1 year in at this point or close to it. Trump may be lighting a fire under her tail and some people need that in order to get moving.

How much corruption and DS bs exists in the DOJ? I don’t care for Blondi. Cleaning that crap up and pulling together airtight loophole free prosecutions of the traitors, seditionists and flat out crooks has got to be a herculean task. Not to mention who do you trust to do the work? And then there’s the judges to deal with.
