The city of San Francisco, known for the massive amount of human waste that has accumulated in its streets due to a homelessness crisis, stepped in it Tuesday when it decided to focus its attention on – of all things – E-cigarettes.

“The first major city in the country to ban the sale of electronic cigarettes, San Francisco, is the home of Juul,” said reporter Scott Budman on Twitter. “SF also recently approved a ban on the sale of flavored tobacco and a tax on sugar-sweetened drinks.”

Adding insult to injury, Juul bought a 28-story office building in San Francisco last week, spending an estimated $400,000 million on the real estate.

E-cigarettes have become a favorite target unelected, executive branch regulators – especially the Juul brand which took the market by storm and undoubtably cut into the profits of major tobacco companies, who have huge lobbying power in Washington, D.C. The official explanation for the targeting of such companies is that flavored E-cigarettes are attractive to minors, and that young people are becoming more readily addicted to nicotine.

In October, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) did a surprise inspection of Juul’s headquarters, seizing thousands of documents from the company. The FDA later banned the sale of flavored E-cigarette products in gas stations and convenience stores.

On July 12, 2020, White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows announced that he gave several pieces of information to suspected leakers.

According to Axios, Meadows has proceeded to do this “to reporters — a trap that would confirm his suspicions.”

“Meadows told me he was doing that,” commented one former White House official. “I don’t know if it ever worked.”

The Trump administration has been plagued with leaks since day one. Meadows has taken it upon himself to find the leakers and expose them for subverting President Trump’s agenda.

One leak that recently infuriated Trump was involved an alleged Russian plot to pay the Taliban bounties to kill American soldiers.

Trump was also furious when the New York Times revealed that the Secret Service took him down to the bunker while riots raged outside the White House.

Although Meadows has not caught any high-profile leakers so far, a source close to Meadows said he is “focused on national security leaks and could care less about the palace intrigue stories.”

However, during a recent podcast with Ted Cruz, Meadows revealed that they discovered and fired a federal employee who was caught leaking information about a White House social media executive order.

Trump will ultimately need to get his house in order if he wants to keep his agenda coherent and intact.

One of the overarching themes of the Trump administration has been in its inability to tame subversive advisers and other actors within the administration.

This allows for Trump’s America First agenda to be derailed while legacy institutions like the defense industry benefit greatly.

D.C. is in desperate need of a cleanse and it starts within the executive branch.
