Heather Mac Donald is a great reporter and analyst. Her reports on immigration and gang violence are the best out there.
Ultimately Lefties like BO and is ilk could not care less about real outcomes and results.
All that matters is rigid loyalty to the IDEOLOGY.
Marching lockstep with the IDEOLOGY is the true test of Intellectualism. When results don't meet expectations, it is not the fault of the IDEOLOGY. The blame will be placed at the feet of some convenient scapegoat.
The IDEOLOGY and it's destructive manifestations will live on.
The only absolute is that EVERYONE must CONFORM to the IDEOLOGY. There is no room for dissenters.
There are many many more IDEOLOGICAL trains speeding down the tracks. Many of us see the light and hear the horn...but we are not allowed to get off the tracks.
Heather Mac Donald is an excellent writer.
Heather McDonald wrote quite possibly the best analysis on the homeless there is — how the left DEFEND homelessness and believe “if only more money (or services, compassion, housing) were poured on the problem” —completely ignoring the fact that many homeless are mentally ill, drug addled, criminals, etc.
IN some localities, the homeless have more rights than other citizens - but in SF, I notice they’ve been cleared out of the high-end international business areas downtown (The Financial District) and shoved into The Haight — where the businesses there are forced to deal with them urinating in front of their businesses, panhandling around their front doors and driving away customers. Ditto for Santa Cruz.
An amazing article:

That kid has been nurtured and prepared to be a failure. If he were to actually become educated he might just be able to walk off the plantation. And that cannot be tolerated.
