Subject: Wealthy 'NIMBY' libs in Pelosi's SF district raise $60G to fight center for city's homeless Fri Mar 29, 2019 2:10 pm
Published 10 hours ago Wealthy 'NIMBY' libs in Pelosi's SF district raise $60G to fight center for city's homeless By Lukas Mikelionis | Fox News
Rich San Francisco residents in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s congressional district have collected more than $60,000 after starting an online crowdsourcing campaign to wage a legal challenge against a proposed center for the city's homeless.
The campaign, called “Safe Embarcadero for All,” was launched March 20 after San Francisco Mayor London Breed proposed a 200-bed homeless Navigation Center in the city’s most desirable location, the Embarcadero along the coast of San Francisco Bay, earlier this month.
“The planned location for Mayor Breed's #megashelter is home to thousands of families, visited by millions of tourists and at the center of some of San Francisco's most iconic events - including the San Francisco Marathon, San Francisco Giants stadium and on one of the busiest bicyclist paths in the city,” reads the site posted by the group opposing the construction.
The campaign shamelessly raised over $60,000 and is on track to reach the desired $100,000 goal, with the money used to pay attorney Andrew Zacks, who often represents property owners, to help the dissatisfied "Not In My Backyard" residents in the neighborhood.
More than 130 people have chipped in, although many did so anonymously. The biggest donation came from an unknown resident who gave $10,000 to the cause.
A Fox News review of records found that multiple individuals – bank executives, professors and authors – who donated to the GoFundMe page have also contributed to Democratic political groups, including thousands of dollars to the Democratic National Committee, MoveOn, Hillary Clinton’s campaign, and other left-leaning organizations.
One of the donors, Jerome Dodson, who has since scrubbed his $1,000 contribution to the campaign, is reportedly a chairman of a “responsible investment fund” that seeks to make “a positive impact on society,” according to the Washington Free Beacon. The investment fund executive donated to Democratic candidates and groups over the years, including Pelosi and Hillary Clinton.
Fox News reached out to Pelosi’s office, asking whether she offered her support for the project designed to combat homeless in her own district.
A competing GoFundMe campaign was started in support of the project for the homeless in the city, attracting a $5,000 donation from GoFundMe itself. The effort so far has garnered nearly $33,000 in donations – surpassing a set goal of $30,000.
San Francisco's mayor, meanwhile, slammed the group opposing the construction in a statement to the San Francisco Chronicle.
“People want us to address the challenges on our streets and help our unsheltered residents into housing, and I am committed to doing the hard work to make that happen,” Breed said.
“But it’s incredibly frustrating and disappointing," she added, "that as soon as we put forward a solution to build a new shelter, people begin to threaten legal action."

Whatever! San Francisco is #2 in homeless cities in the USA. Raising funds is like putting a band aid on a slashed artery! My video expose on the top ten homeless cities will put this city and others to shame. Question: How much in funds has been raised to help NON-citizens across the border? Stop treating the homeless like lepers and help them before focusing on others outside our borders.

Barr Trolls Pelosi at the Capitol: ‘Madam Speaker, Did You Bring Your Handcuffs?’ BY: David Rutz May 15, 2019 2:56 pm

Attorney General William Barr asked Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) if she brought "handcuffs" for him Wednesday at the Capitol, following her accusing him of lying to Congress earlier this month.
According to multiple reporters, Barr approached Pelosi following the National Peace Officers Memorial Service in Washington, shook her hand, and asked, "Madam Speaker, did you bring your handcuffs?" Pelosi smiled and said the House Sergeant at Arms was present if an arrest was necessary, to which Barr laughed and walked away.
Some congressional Democrats have called for Barr to be jailed after the House Judiciary Committee voted to hold him in contempt when he ignored a subpoena for the unredacted Russia report by Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

Pelosi, taking on a president, meets feminists' desire for a superhero Lisa Belkin,Yahoo News • September 26, 2019
The meme was everywhere. It showed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi looking like a winner, cigarette in one hand, cocktail in the other, rocking a gold-flecked chiffon gown and surrounded by shining gold statuettes.
Only the face was actually Pelosi’s, however. It had been Photoshopped onto the body of actress and writer Phoebe Waller-Bridge pictured at an Emmys after-party celebrating a very good night. But the feeling of female power the Pelosi meme projected as it was forwarded again and again — that was not about the Emmys, but about politics.
“There’s an intense hunger for a female superhero right now, and the showdown between the most powerful woman in the country and the most powerful man is potent symbolism,” said Jo Piazza, author of “Charlotte Walsh Likes to Win,” the bestselling book (and soon to be Amazon original starring Julia Roberts) that Piazza says she wrote in the first place to fill a post-2016 “need for portrayals of powerful women who aren’t afraid of their power.”
Women who study women agree that this week marks a moment. But because the biggest takeaway of recent years is that American women are not of one opinion, there are any number of interpretations of what that moment is about.
Some envision Pelosi, D-Calif., all but wearing a cape and taking on a man who has shown more than a little disrespect to women in his personal life. She has been celebrated for this before — sarcastically slow-clapping Trump at his State of the Union speech, tapping her shades into place while exiting the White House after a showdown with him over the border wall, and chastising the president for having a “temper tantrum,” one of the many times she has treated him like a flailing toddler.
Others, though, just see a woman — a person — doing her job. Time was when this would have been a big deal, says Judith Warner, currently a journalism fellow at the Reflective Democracy Campaign and a longtime analyst of women’s issues, who wrote the first biography of Hillary Clinton, in 1993. In 2007, when Pelosi became the first woman speaker in history, “she was still an emblem of change,” Warner says. “But she’s now one of many, many more women in politics in general, in Congress more specifically, and ‘woman warrior on behalf of women against a powerful man’ is not the first framing that comes to mind.”
Warner and others also note that there are women on both sides of the aisle “pushing against” Pelosi. On one side are the white women who voted for Trump in 2016, and his defenders in the White House, in Congress and on Fox News. On the other are the insurgent progressives in Pelosi’s own party who believe she has been too slow to embrace the call for impeachment and view her as not leading the charge but reluctantly following it.
To some, in turn, such criticism itself — that Pelosi dithered and delayed — is a form of sexism. “The way it was talked about, the will she or won’t she, the accusations of dragging her feet, would they have talked about it that way if she were a man?” asks Joanne Bamberger, an author and political commentator whose focus is women in politics. “If this were LBJ, for instance, would they say this is strategic, knowing how to count the votes and whip the votes and waiting for the right, best moment to get this done?”
And then there is the irony that what triggered Pelosi’s endorsement of an impeachment inquiry was an action by Trump that was itself arguably rooted in his sexist approach to politics.
“He was so convinced it was going to be [Joe] Biden running against him, and he did all this to stop Biden,” says Molly Jong-Fast, a writer whose angry takes on the president have made her a mainstay of progressive Twitter. “The idea that a woman could be the nominee again is out of the question for him, apparently.”
Of course, Trump focused on Biden because he was the consistent frontrunner among Democrats. Trump, who has congratulated himself on coming up with the nickname “Pocahontas” for Sen. Elizabeth Warren, hasn’t exactly ignored her. But Jong-Fast sees a whiff of gender bias too. And, as news of Trump’s phone conversations with the Ukrainian president made the news this week, so did poll results showing Warren inching ahead of Biden in the Democratic presidential race. (Others, though, show Biden still holding a significant lead.)
“So after all this he might be going against two women,” Jong-Fast says. “Possibly Warren. Definitely Pelosi.”

Nancy Pelosi is neck deep in Ukraine politics. Her legislative aide, Ivanna Voronovych, is from the Ukraine and is connected to the Ukrainian Embassy, the Ukrainian military, the Ukrainian government and Ukrainian party life.
Young Ivanna Voronovych was a party girl in the Ukraine and somehow managed to make her way into a position as a Legislative Aide to Nancy Pelosi.

How many times are you going to parrot yourself???
You've said the same drivel in numerous threads.
You haven't learned anything in the past year about what an utterly and completely worthless individual she is, not to mention, let alone what an incompetent and anti-USA politician she has become???
She's as corrupt as she can possibly be.
