LEAVWORLD SUPPORTS PROPOSED SAN FRANCISCO BOARD OF SUPERVISORS' RESOLUTION!

One of the people in my Gather network, Lili Mazahery, happens to have contributed to the creation of a proposal going before the San Fran Board of Supervisors. I fully recognize that this is a governmental body that I disagree with over 90 percent of the time, particularly because they often vote on issues beyond their purview (The NYC council does this often, as well).

However, because Lili is a passionate advocate, and is championing a cause that I don't speak to directly often enough, but care deeply about, LEAVWORLD is endorsing the following resolution:

RESOLVED, That the Board of Supervisors of the City and County of San
Francisco urges the U.S. State Department to issue a strong condemnation against
the Islamic Republic of Iran for its practices of civil and human rights abuses,
executions of minors, homosexuals and adulterers, and executions by the barbaric
and violent means of public stoning; and, be it

FURTHER RESOLVED, That the Board of Supervisors condemns the
criminalization of private, adult consensual sexual relations.

Many thanks to Lily Mazahery, who helped draft the resolution, Ross
Mirkarimi, the other Supervisors, the many City Hall staffers and the Mayor, all
of whom have expended tremendous political capital and energy on behalf of
ending all executions in Iran and the USA. Let this resolution from San
Francisco be the first of many across the land.


To have a liberal enclave like S.F. denounce Iran is a huge thing, if only symbolically. That this condemnation proposal comes up at this time is poignant, as well.

I wanted to let you know that the resolution passed unanimously yesterday!

Congratulations to Ms. Mazahery and Mr. Mirkarimi for having the backbone to stand up for what is right.

The Biden Record, and the Democrats Who Supported It, Pt. 4: How Biden Blew Up the Economy With Inflation

   The US economy is in chaos. This is not "spin," or "opinion," but a fact. Some people aren't feeling it as hard as others, because they were well-off before the inflation started. Unfortunately, the worst is yet to come, and it will affect those "well-off" people, to a greater degree than it does currently, as the recession sets in. It also will present a crisis for government, as the interest rates for the chronic borrowing that sustains all of their largesse double, triple, or even quadruple. How did we get here, after what was shaping up as a robust recovery from the pandemic response inspired recession?    When Pres. Biden was elected, almost every policy that had been in place was reversed. We've looked at the disatrous results of this on the southern border , but what's happened to our economy has impacted many more Americans. It started out on day one, when Biden killed the KeystoneXL pipeline, followed by freezing new federal leases

HATE FROM THE MOUTHS OF CHILDREN: AUTUM (AUTUMN?) ASHANTE AND THE GAEDE TWINS

Image
AUTUM ASHANTE LAMB AND LYNX GAEDE I hate to have to write this, but it has to be written. Beautiful children's minds are being corrupted with racial hatred, and their parents are profiting from it. The Gaede twins have a pop band, and Miss Ashante is a poetic prodigy. The parents promote their children's careers. These young girls are the true victims of racism, because they are predestined to continue this cycle of hate. Autum Ashante (-or is it spelled Autumn Ashante ?) is a 7-year old child, home-schooled by her parents (according to the NY POST -free registration required- see below for more on this). I heard it reported on MSNBC that they are members of the Nation of Islam, but I can't confirm that elsewhere. This young lady gave a recital of her poem, "White Nationalism Put U in Bondage." Some excerpts: "Black lands taken from your hands, by vampires with no remorse."..."They took the gold, the wisdom and all the storytellers. They took th

The Biden Debacle Part II

  In my previous post, I wrote about Pres. Biden's disastrous policy at the border, as well as it's impact on the spread of COVID. I also noted his false promise of bipartisanship, and embrace of the far left agenda. This post will deal with some of that agenda, including it's impact on the economy, law enforcement, race relations, education and the military. They're all interconnected in no small way, and Pres. Biden is making a mess of them all. With the left wing ascendant in his own party, he has found it easier to go along with them, rather than work with Republicans, even when they propose policies that a majority of Democrats support. The economy was recovering before Biden assumed office, and yet he continues to push a long wish list of leftist policies in the name of "recovery." The extension of unemployment benefits is a good example of how they can backfire. While he denies that the extra payments were keeping people from returning to work, the sta
