Will San Francisco declare President Obama & Mrs. Clinton "persona non grata" for voting for border fence in 2006?

According to news reports, the city of San Francisco has a message for those companies planning to work on building the US-Mexico border wall.    

 This is from Fox News:   
A San Francisco lawmaker proposed a bill Tuesday that would prohibit the city from doing business with construction companies that seek to work on President Trump’s border wall during the bidding process.
Supervisor Hillary Ronen said doing business with such companies would be out of line with the city’s values, according to KTVU.
“Stick to building bridges, not walls." Ronen said.
Ronen was joined by Oakland City Councilman Abel Guillen and Berkeley Mayor Jesse Arreguin during a news conference outside the offices of international construction giant T.Y. Lin. The company had previously expressed interest in building the proposed border wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.
I find this so interesting.

 First, President Obama and Secretary Clinton voted for the fence in 2006.    It was called "The Secure Fence Act".     

 Second, Mr. Obama and Mrs. Clinton did well in San Francisco.    Mrs. Clinton carried California by 28 points, or the reason that she won 3 million more votes than Mr. Trump.

 So San Francisco wants to punish companies now?     Shouldn't they be consistent and declare any one who voted for the fence as "persona non grata"?     

 After all, it was legislators like Mr. Obama and Mrs. Clinton who voted to fund it?    It happened 10 years before Mr. Trump ran for president!

 Or is all of this just more liberal hypocrisy?

Happy Sweden getting ready for war?


We learned this week that Sweden is the ninth happiest country in the world.     
We also learned this week that happy Sweden is worried about war:   
Sweden is reactivating thousands of Cold War bunkers across the country as fears of a military confrontation with Russia build.
Shelters on the Baltic Island of Gotland will be prioritized for comprehensive checks after it was identified as a likely target for Russian invasion last year. 
Sweden’s most populous island has been the site of a dramatic buildup of military training more than a decade after being demilitarized.
 
In light of the “special situation,” inspections of hundreds of underground shelters in Gotland will be stepped up, according to Swedish Radio.
Am I the only one who sees something weird about these stories? On one hand, we read that Swedes are so happy. On the other hand, they are reactivating nuclear bunkers.    
Let me go back to the article:   
Back in December, the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) urged the country’s municipalities to prepare for dislocation, with security heads being ordered to be “better equipped to meet the threat of war and other crisis situations.”
Preparations to guard against an armed attack from a “qualified opponent,” meaning Russia, have been enhanced in recent months, although officials complained that there was no clear cut plan on how to provide vaccines, gas masks or fuel in the event of a crisis.
So let me get this straight. The Swedes told a pollster that they are very happy. However, their government is telling them to get ready for an invasion?
It’s all very strange to me.    
However, we do recall that pollsters told us as late as 5 p.m. on election day that Mrs. Clinton would deliver a winning speech later that night.
Let’s revisit that sample in Sweden. Maybe the sample included too many people from the tourism agency!
