California bill aims to crack down on illegal street vending in San Francisco
San Francisco's elected officials are pushing for tougher penalties for the resale of stolen goods through a revived proposal in the California State Legislature.
Mayor Daniel Lurie is collaborating with state Sen.

The measure targets the growing problem of vendors reselling stolen goods on the sidewalks of San Francisco, particularly in the Mission District and South of Market areas.
Friends, Acquaintances, and The Hoo-Haw Incident (Parts 1 & 2)
Lester
Lester was a good natured country boy whose family rodeoed locally on the weekends and were pretty well known for it, particularly his brother and father in the team roping event. That ain't got shit to do with anything else, just thought I'd toss that out there.
Me and Lester got along real well, him being one of those guys that always had a big grin on his face and would gladly offer you a hand if needed.
I was standing in the bathroom one day admiring my rugged good looks in the mirror when I noticed a gray hair in my beard, right there under my lower lip, my very first gray hair at the tender age of 24. I yanked that cheeky bastard out and was standing there studying it when Les walks in and greets me with, "Hey Ken!" using a little more enthusiasm than is appropriate in a bathroom.
"Hey Les, you know what that is?" I asked handing it to him.
He takes it, holds it up in front of his face and says, "Nope, sure don't," and grins even bigger.
"That my friend, is my very first gray pubic hair."
"AAAUGH!!!" he screamed as he flung the offending hair down on the floor. "YOU'RE A NASTY FUCKER!!! WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU, YOU SICK FUCK???"
Such language. Give me a break here. I mean, if somebody tried to hand you a coarse curly hair in a bathroom, would you take it?
Paul
Lester's dad. Worked in the machine shop with Pops. Paul was a hypochondriac of the nth degree.
There were only three tool and die makers out there at the time and they all took their breaks together in their own section of the machine shop, away from the half dozen machinists. There was nothing against the machinists, the tool and die guys just couldn't be bothered to walk the 50 feet to their break area so they set up their own wooden picnic bench.
My dad's best friend out there was a tool and die maker and a retired patchholder named John who was blessed with a wicked sense of humor. Dad called him Wopahoe on account of him being half Indian and half Italian.
My day started at 3 AM, so I decided to take my second break of the day over at the machine shop, and have a smoke and a cup of coffee with the old man before he started his shift at 7.
As I walked up to the table, John and Dad are giggling over something and me being nosey as hell, I asked what was up.
"We're gonna make Paul go home sick. Watch, heh heh heh" John said, then he looked at his watch and told Dad it was time, and Dad walked away.
Paul came walking in the door, whistling and all cheerful and shit and when he gets to the table, John looked up with a concerned expression and said, "Damn Paul, are you all right?"
"Uh, yeah. I feel fine. Why?"
"You're just looking a little peaked there," John said as Dad came walking around the corner. He stopped short and said, "Whoa. You better sit down, Paul. You feel okay? Here, let me get you some water."
Paul doesn't say another word, he just puts his lunchbox down and heads to the bathroom. Dad motions me to follow him in.
Paul was splashing cold water on his face and panting.
I reported back and we all had a good laugh, but I had to get back to work and they had to start their shift. As I was leaving, John told me to come back for 9 o'clock break.
At 9, I walked in and saw no sign of Paul anywhere in the shop, and as I rounded the corner John and Dad were sitting at the table alone. "Paul go home sick already?" I asked
"Shit, he never even clocked in, heh heh heh. He was here 8 minutes," John said without even looking up from his morning paper.

All of the communists clamored aboard that method of control with enthusiasm, seeing it for what it was, a way to funnel vast wealth of the private sector into the hands of authoritarian government that would mete out slim bits of freedom to encourage long-term slavery. It was a massive redistribution of wealth scheme. Genius!

Commentary: The Left and Global Elites Misunderstand Trump’s Popularity
President Donald Trump is popular among just over half the country – with a recent YouGov poll showing 49 percent of Americans have a favorable view of the president while 48 percent have an unfavorable view. That said, support for the bedrock of Trump’s America First governing philosophy extends well beyond support for Trump himself.
Trump’s popularity is baffling to those on the left and to certain so-called global allies who are in shock over our decision to re-elect him. But what the global political apparatus really missed leading up to Trump’s second victory – and historic win of the popular vote – is just how popular Trump’s ideas are, far beyond his base, and far beyond how people feel about Trump himself.
