For the second time in two years, billionaire Silicon Valley investor Michael Moritz has taken to the opinion pages of The New York Times to weigh in on San Francisco politics, and this time his goal appears to be to make sure no one hears Aaron Peskin in his ranking. Electoral votes.

Billionaire Michael Moritz, the chief financial backer of the San Francisco Standard and two political groups that advance moderate candidates and causes, Together SF and Together SF Action, appears to have some influence at the New York Times. In July, in his role as a “Democratic megadonor,” he used the newspaper’s lectern to send a loud message to President Biden that he needed to get out of the race. And in February 2023, he wrote an angry opinion essay outlining his case for how the Board of Supervisors and San Francisco’s bloated government had failed the city and helped oust a sitting supervisor and several school board members.

Today, in the run-up to the mayoral election, Moritz wrote another New York Times opinion piece aimed directly at one candidate: Aaron Peskin. Peskin has not been leading in any poll, but Moritz appears concerned that the city’s ranked-choice voting system – which he has railed against in the past – could provide Peskin with a possible path to mayor.

“If you want to understand how the city got to where it is today and why it is at the center of a fight for its future [sic]“One should take a closer look at Mr. Peskin’s long career,” writes Moritz.

Together, SF Action has endorsed Mark Farrell, and Moritz has made it clear that he blames progressives on the board for everything from the fentanyl crisis to homelessness to the slow pace of development. One of the group’s stated goals, as we learned last month from one of its own internal documents, is to stoke discontent and outrage among voters and turn them away from progressive candidates. (One of Together SF Action’s more unfortunate moves was the “This is Fentalife!” advertising campaign, a tonally problematic and fairly pointless attempt to mock city leaders and their handling of the drug crisis.)

With this essay, Moritz seems to want to argue against any possibility that Peskin could sneak into the mix after Election Day while the ranked votes are being tallied by persuading a few more SF voters reading the New York Times will not vote for him.

“As I became increasingly involved in San Francisco, the city where I have lived for more than 40 years, it became clear to me that Mr. Peskin and I held opposing visions for the city’s future,” Moritz writes.

It should be noted that Moritz, along with Laurene Powell Jobs, Marc Andreessen and others, is part of the billionaire chain that backed a plan to build a new town out of wood in windswept eastern Solano County – a plan that is currently shelved-burned because of its political toxicity — essentially because they like the idea of ​​starting over and not dealing with the entrenched government and endemic problems of a place like San Francisco. Moritz appears to disingenuously characterize this in the opinion essay as his “involvement in an ambitious plan to build a large housing development north of San Francisco,” which “attacked Mr. Peskin.” Is Solano County now “north of San Francisco”?

In my opinion, someone who is so concerned about the future of San Francisco should not be hedging their bets with such an ambitious development, just an hour outside of the city, that runs counter to all principles of smart growth and sustainability.

Moritz bases his essay on Kamala Harris and her more moderate vision of democratic politics and how she should serve as a model for San Francisco in the future, not Aaron Peskin. And he writes: “The elections in November will show whether.” [San Francisco’s] Citizens are ready to rebel against a clique of long-standing political zealots.”

Moritz doesn’t get caught up in the money frenzy that has characterized this mayoral race, in which two very wealthy white men – Farrell and Levi’s heir Daniel Lurie – are vying for the mayor’s job and promising a degree of “change” that they may cannot achieve feasible delivery and attempt to unseat the city’s first black female mayor, whose handling of the COVID pandemic, by the way, Moritz described as “spectacular.” Peskin will most likely finish in fourth place behind those three at this point, although the ranking selection and name recognition could certainly give him an advantage. So was this essay just another opportunity to rave about the progressives of SF and how they need to be held responsible for everything that is wrong?

The Virginia Department of Health (VDH) is offering free testing kits to individuals whose private drinking water wells were affected by recent flooding in Southwest Virginia. Any well that was flooded during the recent flood is likely contaminated, even if there is no obvious damage.

The free private well testing kits are available to residents of Bland, Buchanan, Carroll, Dickenson, Floyd, Giles, Grayson, Lee, Montgomery, Pulaski, Russell, Scott, Smyth, Tazewell, Washington, Wise and Wythe counties and the city of Radford. To qualify for the test, the well must first be disinfected and flushed. VDH recommends hiring a well driller for this process. For those who want to disinfect the fountain themselves, all safety precautions and instructions should be followed using these instructions.

Once well users have disinfected and flushed their well, they can request a free testing kit by calling the VDH call center at 877-829-4682, Monday through Friday (no holidays) from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., or by completing the online survey. Test kits will also be available at Hurricane Helene Disaster Recovery Centers (DRC). To find the nearest DRC, use the FEMA DRC Locator at https://egateway.fema.gov/ESF6/DRCLocator.

Well water affected by flooding can contain germs that can lead to gastrointestinal illnesses. The kits contain the necessary tools to collect samples for testing for total coliforms and E. coli. The test results only indicate whether the well is contaminated.

Tests must be returned to the nearest Hurricane Helene Disaster Recovery Center or local health department in the Cumberland Plateau, LENOWISCO, Mount Rogers or New River Health Districts Monday through Thursday. Samples should be dropped off at one of the available locations by 4:00 p.m. on the day of sample collection.

For more information about the free well testing program, visit VDH’s Hurricane Helene Post-Storm Response webpage. For more information about specific concerns regarding private wells, contact your local health department or a licensed well driller.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukrainian intelligence believes North Korea has expanded its support for Russia’s war in Ukraine from providing weapons to sending thousands of its own soldiers to fight for the Kremlin, a source tells NBC News.

The news was previously reported by various media outlets.

“The first units are already being formed for deployment in the border areas and Russian territories,” the intelligence source said on Tuesday.

Several thousand soldiers are being trained in the Russian Far East, the source added.

“These units are also being equipped and prepared for deployment,” possibly toward Kursk, a Russian region where Ukrainian forces launched an invasion in August.

The first group of North Korean soldiers is currently in Ulan-Ude, the capital of Russia’s Buryatia region, the source said.

On Sunday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that North Koreans were fighting with Russia and that there was “a growing alliance between Russia and regimes like North Korea.”

“This is no longer just about the arms transfer,” he said in his evening video speech. “It’s actually about handing over people from North Korea to the occupying forces.”

The State Department said Tuesday it was concerned about reports of North Korean soldiers fighting for Russia.

“If this is true, it would represent a significant expansion of the relationship between these two countries, the relationship that has developed in recent months,” said spokesman Matthew Miller.

Asked about the claim on Thursday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said it was a hoax.

It comes at a time when Russia is suffering multiple setbacks, not only in Ukraine, where it is struggling with casualties and depleted ammunition, but also in Kursk, the first Russian territory to be under foreign military occupation since World War II .

U.S. officials said Pyongyang is already supplying Moscow with much-needed munitions, including millions of artillery shells, in return for key military technology for its nuclear and missile programs.

Moscow and Pyongyang deny any arms transfers but committed to strengthening their military ties in June when Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un signed a pact in Pyongyang that included a commitment to mutual defense.

So far, the North Korean military has failed to get real-time feedback on its weapons, said General Charles Flynn, the US Army commander in the Indo-Pacific.

“They don’t have very good reach in North Korea,” he said Tuesday at the Center for a New American Security in Washington.

That could change with the involvement of North Korean soldiers in the Ukraine war.

“This kind of feedback from a real battlefield to North Korea to be able to make adjustments to its weapons, its munitions, its capabilities and even its population — is very concerning to me,” Flynn said.
