San Francisco, May 4 : San Francisco Mayor London Breed announced the US city is partnering with several local community-based organisations to help eateries and other eligible businesses in need to apply for the federal Restaurant Revitalization Fund.
The Restaurant Revitalization Fund is funded by the American Rescue Plan Act, which House Speaker Nancy Pelosi championed in Congress, and will provide grants to help restaurants, bars, and other eating and drinking businesses stay open, according to the announcement on Monday.
Rush to the Democrats: Stop the War on Police
May 4, 2021
KEN: It’s harder and harder to find the news media when police are doing wonderful things. The word “racism” has lost its impact, so it’s overused, and so now “systemic” has been added to “racism,” and “systemic” is becoming overused. You know, Rush talked about this, the watering down and the manipulation of language during the Trayvon Martin case.
RUSH: The left has begun to talk about “profiling” here, not racism. They’re accusing Zimmerman of “profiling” Trayvon and that, of course, is a no-no. Nobody likes profiling because it’s judgmental, and in many cases prejudicial. So profiling would be, “See? A young, 17-year-old black guy in a hood! That equals ‘criminal. ” That’s profiling; you can’t do it. “Profiling” equals the charge of racism, but they’ve beat that to death, in a sense.

The sound bullets make when breaking through a windshield of a vehicle is hard to forget. And it’s a noise that still echoes in my ears after watching body cam footage of Vallejo police killing Sean Monterrosa and video of Vallejo police firing 55 bullets in 3.5 seconds at the car of Willie McCoy, both shown during the season six premiere of CNN’s “United Shades of America.”
Blighted San Francisco Diagnoses Its ‘Perilous Trifecta’ and Bungles the Cure
San Francisco is coming undone. In recent years, the city has manifested a series of visible and persistent inequalities, with a spoils-to-the-victor world for its technological elite, and a chaotic, brutalized world for its dispossessed. In the city’s Tenderloin district, men openly hawk drugs on the street corners, desperate addicts are crumpled across the sidewalks, and first responders dart through the chaos to revive overdose victims.
The city has become a web of contradictions. There are thousands of new millionaires, and, by the latest estimates, 18,000 people in and out of homelessness. The headquarters of Uber, Twitter, and Square are blocks away from the open-air drug markets of the Tenderloin, Mid-Market, and SoMa. Wealthy families attending an art opening at the Civic Center have to cross through the tent encampments that line the sidewalks.
