“The program will be called the Dream Keeper Fellowship, though likely to be dubbed “Cash for Criminals” in the media, and will pay select people $300 a month to avoid gun incidents.” You can’t make this stuff up, seriously.

‘Cash For Criminals’: San Francisco Will Start Paying People Not To Shoot Each Other
Nation & State | 9-2-2021 | Tyler Durden

San Francisco may be best known for its poo and needle-covered streets (requiring six-figure ‘poop patrollers‘), but the liberal stronghold – driven into the ground under decades of Democrat leadership – is about to experiment with yet another ‘fix’ for its self-inflicted wounds…
…Using taxpayer money to pay criminals not to shoot people.

In October, San Francisco will begin offering high-risk individuals $300 per month not to shoot anyone, or get shot themselves, according to the San Francisco Examiner. What’s more, participants can earn up to $200 more per month by hitting program milestones – such as landing a job interview, complying with probation, or consistently meeting with a mentor, according to the report.

Known as the “Dream Keeper Fellowship” (a.k.a. Cash for Criminals), “The initiative will pair participants with newly hired life coaches from the Street Violence Intervention Program, known as SVIP, who will help them make the right choices and access services.”

…

This isn’t the first time a city has tried to reduce gun violence by offering cash. A similar anti-violence program in Oakland, for instance, offers young adults up to $300 for achieving milestones. What’s new is San Francisco would start people off with a baseline of $300 a month without having to meet any marks.

The program is modeled, in part, after the nationally watched Operation Peacemaker Fellowship in Richmond, which offers similar stipends of up to $1,000. …

It’s also not San Francisco’s first guaranteed-income program. The City recently rolled out similar efforts for pregnant mothers from marginalized communities and artists struggling during the pandemic.

The program will start off with just 10 participants in October, and then expand benefits to another 30 high-risk individuals by the end of the year. Officials have already hired two life coaches for the program.

…

The program, funded in part by the Dream Keeper Initiative established by Mayor London Breed and Supervisor Shamann Walton to divert funding from the police, is being rolled out by the Human Rights Commission and Office of Economic and Workforce Development.

…“We can’t just put them in a program without making sure that they have money, without making sure that they have something to take care of themselves.”

…

“This is the perfect time for this strategy.”

Well, here we are again, and the members of an Afghan all-girl robotics team have arrived in Mexico.

They were welcomed by the country’s foreign minister.

The team made headlines earlier this year after making affordable ventilators for coronavirus patients out of car parts.

They previously won a special award at an international competition in the US.

Other members of the team have arrived in Qatar in recent days.

So, I guess if you want a robotic Afghan chick who can help you breathe through car parts, pony up. Because you know they ain’t going back home.

Is there a Pusilanimous Prize? Might win that, as well.

As Biden repeats claim that ‘Nobody could have known’ Afghan Army would collapse, bombshell transcript from July reveals he pressured Afghan President Ghani to create ‘perception’ Taliban wasn’t winning ‘WHETHER IT’S TRUE OR NOT’
UK Daily Mail | 08/31/2021 | Rob Crilly and Ariel Zilber

President Joe Biden wanted the now-departed Afghan president to create the ‘perception’ that his government was capable of holding off the Taliban – an indication he knew it was only a matter of time before the US ally fell to the Islamic group even while reassuring Americans at home that it would not happen.

In the last phone call between Biden and his Afghan then-counterpart Ashraf Ghani, the American president said they needed to change perceptions of the Taliban’s rapid advance ‘whether it is true or not,’ according to excerpts published on Tuesday.

Four weeks before Kabul collapsed, Ghani pleaded for more air support and money for soldiers who had not had a pay rise in a decade.

A transcript obtained by Reuters reveals two leaders oblivious to the impending disaster and an American president focused on spinning the message.

‘I need not tell you the perception around the world and in parts of Afghanistan, I believe, is that things are not going well in terms of the fight against the Taliban,’ Biden said.

‘And there is a need, whether it is true or not, there is a need to project a different picture.’
