San Francisco taxpayers sue over race-based reparations ordinance

https://pacificlegal.org/press-release/san-francisco-taxpayers-sue-over-race-based-reparations-ordinance/

Quote
San Francisco, California; February 5, 2026: Several San Francisco residents, as well as the Californians for Equal Rights Foundation, filed a lawsuit today challenging an ordinance establishing a reparations fund for black San Franciscans. The plaintiffs allege that the ordinance, which allows taxpayer money to be used to administer the fund, violates the Equal Protection Clause by discriminating on the basis of race.

“Acknowledging past injustice does not give the government license to spend public resources on programs that sort people by race and ancestry today,” said Andrew Quinio, an attorney with Pacific Legal Foundation. “The Constitution requires the city to address proven harm directly, not through sweeping racial and ancestral classifications. This lawsuit is about ensuring that all Americans are treated as individuals under the law and not forced to subsidize government policies that collectively bind them to history that they did not experience or inflict.”

Backfire: Espstein Files Hitting Everyone Except The Left's Original Target

Don't discount the other scandals listed in the above interview. The whole of the EU is now watching the Epstein files' impact, as one by one, leftists worldwide are implicated by what those documents reveal. 

Manney says correctly, "In politics, the stench of scandal like Epstein's doesn't fade; it festers until somebody cleans house."

That's clearly happening. The thing is that it's not just Epstein that has the world-wide left exposed, that's causing them problems. ...
...
The attempt to take Donald Trump out of the picture politically and MAGA with it has blossomed into something that the left never envisioned in their wildest nightmares. Not only has the release of those flies not done what the left has been saying they would do, but actors on the left are also being taken out with numbers that surprise even the most jaundiced of observers. ...

The connection I admit I didn't foresee is becoming more obvious. The people pushing the Epstein files as the cure for what they consider the disease of MAGA, ..., are now the ones most exposed in the release of those files, while Trump is not.

The Dems had to know that some of "their own" would get ensnared by the files being released, a mix of perv-exposure, stooopid judgment, and 'splainin'-required. I do not think they realized how many their partisan obsession/insistence would hypo-vehiculate (and there will be more in coming weeks, IMO).

What we've learned from this episode is that Democrats are willing to engage in self-destructive behavior in an attempt to make Trump look bad.

So several million viewers tuned out. The left is proving to be a bit of a paper tiger (or in the case of the Democrats specifically, a paper donkey).

     The gun CROSSED STATE LINES, too. Remember how they wouldn't shut the **** up about that, like it matters? Like they care about any borders other than their b-hole when they're cramming items up there?

And all they needed to do was refer to the charging document to dispel that claim, as it noted that the gun was kept in Kenosha all along.

The unspoken part is that they say no because money was not funneled to them personally.

Apparently the Somali illegals really will do things that American Leftist scum just won't do.  :loser: :lmao:

Trump and his ilk are letting gun runners illegally send guns to Canada and Mexico.

DUmmie apparently does not know that it is perfectly legal to own guns in Canada. There's lots of regulations on training, licensing, storage, mag capacity etc... but owning a gun there is quite feasible as long as you are willing to jump through all of the hoops and follow the laws.

I suggested about a year ago that the Jeffrey Epstein Files were going to backfire on the Democrats. As it turns out, while that was true, I seem to have underestimated the number of other players around the world that would be caught up in the revelations. As an example, currently in the headlines, I've been watching with some interest the impending demolition of Kier Starmer's Labour government in the UK. PJ Media's Dave Manney wrote a few days ago about the issues surrounding Starmer.

Quote
The foul odor of Jeffrey Epstein's crimes sticks like sewage to anybody who got too close. That human piece of garbage trafficked and abused young girls for years, hiding behind wealth and connections.

Now, his rotten legacy has splattered all over British Prime Minister Keir Starmer's government.

Standing in the center is Lord Peter Mandelson, Starmer's pick for U.S. ambassador, a man whose ties to Epstein scream unforgivable judgment. ...

CNN Thinks Black Voters Are ‘Too Dumb’ and Scott Jennings Torched Them for It

https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2026/02/12/cnn-thinks-black-voters-are-too-dumb-and-scott-jennings-torched-them-for-it-n4949416

Scott Jennings wasn't about to let Democratic operative Alencia Johnson get away with wild accusations about voter ID requirements, and the resulting exchange on CNN was a master class in dismantling talking points with simple, direct questions.

Johnson kicked things off by claiming President Trump was "championing a bill that actually would take voting rights away from a lot of black people in this country." But her argument immediately started to crumble when Jennings asked the most obvious question: "What voting rights is he taking away from black voters?"

"The SAVE Act," Johnson, a former advisor to Kamala Harris’s 2024 presidential campaign, insisted. "That is actually going to continue to disenfranchise overwhelmingly a lot of people of color."

"How?" Jennings asked, justifiably perplexed.
...
But Jennings wouldn't let her off the hook. “How? You haven’t said how yet,” he pointed out.

“I am talking about it. It’s the way that you’re putting new poll taxes on us.”
...
Jennings couldn't believe what he was hearing. "Poll taxes?" he repeated incredulously.

Johnson doubled down, calling it "kind of an idiom" and arguing that requiring people to prove citizenship makes it "harder for people to vote in this country."

That's when Jennings lowered the boom.

He noted that 76% of black voters support requiring an ID to vote, along with 80% of Hispanic voters and 83% of Americans overall. "Are you saying that black voters are too dumb to know what's good for them?" Jennings asked. "I mean, it sounds pretty condescending."

Jennings vs Dem-Party-talking-points-parrot, no match.

'Snow White' Lost [GULP] How Much Money?

https://pjmedia.com/vodkapundit/2026/02/12/snow-white-lost-gulp-how-much-money-n4949412

Quote
You had to figure that Disney's live(ish)-action Snow White reboot would lose money, but even my eyes watered when I read this morning that the oft-derided musical lost about $170 million. But get this, had Disney not produced the movie in the U.K. — and received a reported $65 million (!!!) in tax credits — then Snow White would have lost the Mouse House a jaw-dropping $235 million...

...and entered the Hollywood Hall of Shame as one of the 10 biggest money-losing movie of all time, somewhere between Disney's 2012 stinker, John Carter, and Peter Berg's Battleship from the same year.

I could go over all the reasons with you again — bad concept, Rachel Zegler, bad script, Rachel Zegler, bad casting, Rachel Zegler, bad new songs, Rachel Zegler, budget-busting reshoots, Rachel Zegler, budget-busting (and unnecessary) CGI dwarves, and also Rachel Zegler — but we've been over all this before.

Instead, let me ask one vital question that nobody at Disney seems to have asked themselves or one another: How is it even possible to lose that much money on a picture that could have been shot for probably $100 million, with another $50 million in marketing costs?

WRT Zegler, I guess her race-victimism and antisemitism discouraged box office receipts.
