“Progressive Paradise”

San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie has revived a benefit program once lauded as a step toward “reparations” for black San Franciscans. Known as the Dream Keeper Initiative, the relaunched program will grant $36 million to “community-serving organizations,” including some that have offered “Afri-centric” mental-health services, African ancestry DNA testing, and free doulas for “African American birthing people.”

Supporters say the initiative will deliver racial “equity”; a civil rights lawyer says the program may violate federal law.

Meals on Wheels has stopped operating in downtown Portland as its frustrated bosses say they can’t keep staff safe in the crime-ridden city.

The charity said this week it is closing its two facilities in the city, with frustrated Meals on Wheels Chief Executive Officer Suzanne Washington telling reporters it was a ‘long time coming.’

Washington lamented a lack of action to curb crime as the reason for the decision, which brought the charity’s 20-year stay at its popular Elm Court location to a close.

The cultural turnaround has begun. And I’m happy to be part of it — unlike my former friends.

The biggest downside to being blocked by progressive former friends — like most in my old Hollywood circle — is I don’t get to observe their total breakdown as the liberal dreamworld crumbles around them. Yet every argument I made to them was exalted last Fourth of July, when President Trump and his gorgeous First Lady danced on the Truman Balcony as fireworks exploded over the incomparable Washington skyline. The couple were not only celebrating the 249th anniversary of the greatest country in the history of Earth but the best two weeks for any presidency in my lifetime. And though I couldn’t see or hear it, I could feel the wailing of my ex-mates all the way from the opposite coast.
