California Governor Gavin Newsom announced Friday afternoon a new partnership with the California Highway Patrol (CHP), California National Guard (CalGuard), San Francisco Police Department (SFPD), and the San Francisco District Attorney's Office (SFDA) to assist with the ongoing efforts to address the city's fentanyl crisis.

According to the governor, the agreement between all four agencies will focus on "dismantling fentanyl trafficking and disrupting the supply of the deadly drug in the city by holding the operators of large-scale drug trafficking operations accountable."

Laughable. But scary knowing the level of electoral fraud.

What he won’t do is say anything about the open border that is allowing the poison to pour into the country

“by holding the operators of large-scale drug trafficking operations accountable.”

Small scale operators are still OK, though.

War on drugs, San Francisco style.

If I was US military at any level, I’d be disgusted to the point of nausea with gov’t officials. I keep hoping that some savior will materialize and rally a military coup of the US gov’t and take back US sovereignty on every level.

How about:

Give the homeless 24 hours to get in a shelter and get on a treatment program.

If you’re on the street, you go to rehab camp in Bowie, CA.

If a NGO group sues the government for them, they instantly have their licenses revoked in CA.

If I was in charge I would put that into play and the streets of Haight Ashbury would be clean.

I have some sad news for you: most of the Sam Damons in the military are gone. It's the political Courtney Massengales that have taken over, running off the real leaders like Sam.

This reference is to the novel "Once an Eagle". I read it as a 2nd LT when I was stationed in Germany. I believe it's still part of the curriculum at the Army War College.

I say hand it out for free on all the street corners.

Take all you want, but use all you take.

“I keep hoping that some savior will materialize and rally a military coup of the US gov’t and take back US sovereignty on every level.”

And that happening is the one thing left that keeps us from turning into a third world country. If we go that way we are no different than countries like Columbia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Kenya, Bahrain, Cambodia, China, Cuba, Ghana, Granada, Haiti, Japan, North Korea, Laos, Libya, Pakistan...and I haven’t got past the “P’s” yet or named all the ones A through O.

We have stayed on top of the countries peck order, and the one most desirable in the world to relocate to, because we never reached the pack identity and have flourished without implosion. We can do better. We just need to find some people that can change things like an adult rather than an alpha animal. We had one, but the ones supposedly supporting him failed him...Trump.

Perhaps volunteer to do rehab or be sent to some remote part of California (compound lifestyle) and just get a cot/shelter with one hot-meal a day. If you won’t accept that...vagrant-status or ‘hobo’, and jail-time.

Would imagine within a week....most would be on the road to Oregon/Washington.

But with the lefty caliber ‘prosecutors,’ good luck w/ that!

Aside from Willie Brown, whose malign influence wrought Newsome, Kamala, London Breed, and countless other machine politicians, Gavin has more personal political responsibility than anyone else for the disasters that are San Francisco and California. A diabolical, drug addled narcissist.

Yup. He got the idea from Trump’s speech a few days ago. Anyway, he could mitigate the drug issue by stopping the state and CA CITIES from being a sanctuary state and cities for dry cartels. Newsom is a simpleton.

It’s all theater. If he were serious, he’d step up the DEA and let them do their jobs along with US Marshalls. But he won’t. Nancy won’t let him.

How’d you like to be the National Guardsmen having to wade through all that filth and drugs because of these pinkos that despise America!? I would be off the hook PO’d. I was in the NG long ago, I didn’t join to sweep druggies and feces off the streets.
