Our Brother's Keeper...

It was reported by the Department of Homeland Security, perhaps our most inaptly named Federal Agency, that 151,552 folks are living outdoors and on the streets of California.

They say that's fully 30% of all our entire Nation's homeless population.  A third of the entire United States' supply of homeless is right here in California, enjoying our beautiful beaches and wonderful weather.  While they're sucking up benefits from our Federal contractors, the so-called "NGO's," whom we pay $Hundreds of Millions to care and feed them.

That stands for "Non-Governmental Organization," BTW.  And we hire them to give illegal aliens the stuff they want but we cannot legally provide directly.  Like free cell phones.  And free plane and train and bus rides.  And free food and clothing.  And a free place to stay when they get where they're going. 

Did you know that? 

Like the ROW Hotel in Times Square, Manhattan, New York City.  At more than $200 a night, for each of the more than 1,900, staying at just this hotel alone.  It will cost the City of New York more than $4.3 Billion Dollars just this year alone.  Caring for and feeding the aliens for whom they've declared themselves a sanctuary.  All that TAX money could have gone to the needs of NYC's citizens.  Instead, it's going to the needs of those from Venezuela, and Guatemala, and El Salvador.  

You read that right.  This IS Bizzarro World.

But now to the good stuff.

According to the Veterans Administration, there are 31,442 veterans of U. S. military service living on the streets of California.  31,442.  People who fought for us, and may in fact be disabled as a result of that service.  

31,442.

Have you heard of a bunch of NGO's scrambling to get into line for all the money the Feds are handing out to take care of vets?  You know, all those free flights to anywhere and free cell phones and free hotel rooms and free food and free clothing?  

You haven't, because they aren't.  

And because they aren't, you now know where our elected representatives' focus really is; on the illegals.  Their (hoped for) future voters.

Get your arms around that.  

And since California is primarily reponsible for resolving our veteran homeless crisis, and it isn't, then ask yourself this:  Did you know that 47 of California's 53 counties are owned and controlled by Democrats?  That the Democrats have supermajorities in both Houses of our Legislature?  That they can, and do, pass anything they wish?  Some of the dumbest laws to ever see the light of day?  

And they have proved by their actions - and inactions - that they don't give a good God damn about our veterans.  

Did you know that our Boy Guv could open up our armories across the State, enabling our homeless vets to have an indoor place to sleep?  

Did you know that our Boy Guv could simply wave his manicured hand and open up our State fair grounds and stock yards and State-owned pavillions, providing our vets with a place to lay their heads?  

There are no doubt thousands of State-owned buildings that could easily house a few of our out-of-luck veterans.  Am I the only one who's ever thought of this?  

Now then, I've provided the itch, it's up to you to scratch it...
