Homelessness
What to know: Homelessness in California continued to grow last year, despite some crackdowns by cities in the Golden State.
The TPPF take: As long as it defers to “Housing First” policies, California will never solve its homelessness crisis.
“In 2013, Barack Obama began focusing government efforts on funding publicly subsidized housing,” says TPPF’s John Bonura. “Housing First, as it is known, was lauded as the policy that would end homelessness in 10 years. It has been more than 10 years now, and the number of people living without homes has only gone up. America has been hamstrung by this policy because it tries to outspend a problem instead of addressing the root causes.”
TPPF’s CEO Greg Sindelar and Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin discuss the importance of remembering and returning to our Nation’s first principles in leading into tomorrow, especially in regards to election transparency and accuracy, border security and so much more.
The Data is Clear
What to know: Social media is having a profound effect on the developing brains of our young people, more and more studies demonstrate.
The TPPF take: The evidence is mounting that social media is harmful to children.
“In Texas alone, scores of children have tragically died from content and challenges TikTok and other social media apps knowingly and eagerly promote for underage users,” says TPPF’s David Dunmoyer. “Juxtapose that with the Chinese version of TikTok, Douyin, which promotes educational material to its users.”
The TPPF take: Electoral blunders undermine confidence in the entire electoral process.
“For example, in 2022, in Harris County more than 1,000 ineligible ballots were cast and counted,” says TPPF’s Josh Findlay. “After a lawsuit, a judge ultimately ordered a redo election. Additionally, voters experienced long lines, ballot paper shortages, and scanner failures. The fact that large counties can’t get it right raises questions about the integrity of the elections nationwide.”
