Many past notes have detailed the poor performance of elected Democrat governors and mayors. This item focusses on the Mayor of San Francisco. Quote: "Democrats have mismanaged one city so badly that even liberals are fed up. Blue state residents are getting a stark reminder of what happens when the Democrats are in power. States like California and Illinois are experiencing a mass exodus of residents. And Democrats have mismanaged one city so badly that even liberals are fed up. San Francisco has put leftist policies to the ultimate test, and the results have been disastrous. In a city with Silicon Valley billionaires and so-called “empathetic progressives” everywhere, San Francisco has the largest income inequality of anywhere in America. And crime and homelessness have skyrocketed, which even has liberals crying foul. Bay Area liberal Michael Shellenberger, who most recently wrote the book San Fransicko: Why Progressives Ruin Cities – a scathing examination of leftist policies in San Francisco – broke the story that the city was essentially sanctioning open-air drug use in the city as a way to get homeless people into rehab.
Allowing public drug use and enacting soft-on-crime policies have not done anything to help the dispossessed in the city. The problems have only gotten worse.
Mayor London Breed recently pledged to crack down on crime. She said in a fiery speech, “It is time for the reign of criminals who are destroying our city – it is time for it to come to an end. And it comes to an end when we take the steps to be more aggressive with law enforcement, more aggressive with the changes in our policies, and less tolerant of all the bullsh*t that has destroyed our city.” However, her idea of cracking down is tolerating more of the same. San Francisco DA Chesa Boudin, one of the leftist prosecutors funded by George Soros, is currently facing a recall effort. But in the meantime, he is focused on letting criminals out and not prosecuting property crimes no matter what. Leftists talk a good game, but San Francisco is showing that their policies only bring about more misery for the people they purport to help."

More evidence that we cannot trust anything Kamala Harris says or does. She is so irresponsible, incompetent and far to the political left she is about to fall overboard. Quote: " Kamala Harris Caught ‘Palling Around’ With Socialist Leader – The VP Plans To Attend Inauguration Of New Honduran President. What can be said about Kamala Harris? Some in the media might still praise her. But after a year in office, her losses far outweigh her successes. She failed to address the border crisis. She often embarrasses herself in front of the cameras. And, in an annoying trend, she is found overseas while America suffers crisis after crisis. Guess what? It’s happening again. Biden is suffering one of his worst weeks, yet. Crises are exploding around the world. Biden might have given Putin the green light to invade Ukraine. But where is Harris? Helping hold the administration together? Of course not. She’s jetting off to Honduras, to congratulate a socialist president."

Wonder if this is an example of Joe Biden using the FBI to send a message to one of his Democrat party members with whom he has differences. That was the kind of thing Obama did so he probably thinks it is okay for him too. Quote: "FBI agents raid the home of a Democrat who isn’t afraid to call out Joe Biden on one big failure. The timing couldn’t be more suspicious. Just in time for a tough March 1 primary challenge, federal agents raid one lawmaker’s home and business. Because FBI agents raided the home of this Democrat who just called out Joe Biden on one big failure. Representative Henry Cuellar has taken the Biden administration to task over its failed border policies. He also happens to be a Democrat. Earlier this month Cuellar called on Vice President Kamala Harris—who is supposed to be the border “Czar”—to start taking the border crisis seriously. “What I said was I’m going to work with the people, the career people in Homeland Security, the appointees that are interested in working on securing the border,” Cuellar outlined. “You know, a lot of us, they don’t have to listen to me, but they should listen to the people that live on the border. They need to listen to ranchers, mayors, county judges, sheriffs, police, folks that are on the border who see this every day. And if they listen to people on the border, I think they would get a very different perspective.” The moderate Democrat pointed toward the truth leftists absolutely want to ignore."

The arrogance of the Political Left is beyond any reasonable understanding. Their self-appointed superiority reveals just how wedded to corrupt Marxist ideology they are. This is one of way, way too many examples. Quote: "A school board member issued one chilling message to parents about their kids. Government schools are battlegrounds in today’s culture war. During the pandemic, parents learned just how radical K-12 education has become.
Perhaps one of the few silver linings of COVID is that distance learning allowed parents to see firsthand the radical nonsense their children were learning in schools. Simultaneously, journalist Christopher Rufo exposed the neo-Marxist doctrine of Critical Race Theory (CRT) that had already seeped into education and several other major institutions. Fringe ideas like CRT and gender theory spurred parents to get involved in their children’s education like they never had before. And teachers unions, administrators, and school board members have decided to go to war with concerned parents. In York, Pennsylvania, a school board member named Richard Robinson wrote a scathing op-ed ripping parents who have shown up to voice their concerns about the curriculum and onerous COVID mandates."

This is an interesting observation by a Catholic Bishop and it has a strong message that resonates regarding the current crop of anti-Christian Democrat's love of killing babies, even claiming doing so is Constitutional. Say What??? Anyway, here are the Bishop's comments on the matter. Quote: "The pagan sacrifice of innocent children to false gods is still happening in society, though it goes by another name, Catholic Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone told pro-lifers Jan. 22 during a special pro-life Mass. Cordileone, the archbishop of San Francisco, warned about the spread of paganism in society and its belief that killing unborn babies in abortions is a “blessed sacrament,” according to his homily published Monday in The National Catholic Register. He gave the message ahead of the Walk for Life in San Francisco, an annual event held to mark the anniversary of Roe v. Wade. Since the ruling in 1973, more than 63.5 million unborn babies have been killed in abortions. “This is all around us nowadays, and this kind of secularism has all the marks of a religion: infallible dogmas, rituals, saints, creedal statements and condemnation of heretical teachings along with punishment of the heretics who hold them and dare to speak them in public, index of forbidden books, even sacraments,” Cordileone said."

We end this note with an entertaining piece that so very aptly describes the insanity that is so prominent with our nation's current crop of Democrats. Enjoy... Quote: "THE HOLE IN THE WALL GANGS RIDE AGAIN IN CALIFORNIA. It looks like America is starting to take on the aura of the old West. Those were the days when an array of nefarious outlaw gangs held out at the Hole in the Wall Pass in Wyoming. One of their specialties was robbing the old Iron Horses (trains, to those of you unfamiliar with old western terminology). Haven’t seen a modern-day train robbery that was not in a movie at a local theater with the notable exception of the Great Train Robbery of 1963 – and that was an outlier. Well … they’re baaack.
And where else could the phenomenon of train robberies take place but in Los Angeles, California – a state taking the lead in the number and unique forms of crimes plaguing American cities these days. Some may see it as a return to the days of yore when trains traveling in and out of Cali-for-nye-yea were routinely robbed. The scourge of train robberies was seeming ended thanks to Wyatt Earp, the Lone Ranger (yes, there was a real one and he was a black man), Texas Rangers, the U.S. Cavalry and even the Pinkerton Detective Agency. Unfortunately, none of those folks and organizations are around anymore – but train robbery has re-emerged. Train robbery!!! No, there are no exciting scenes of a bunch of gun-toting men on horseback chasing a speeding locomotive trailed by box cars, mail cars and even passenger cars. Today, it is breaking into boxcars with all those shipments from Amazon, UPS, the post office or various suppliers. And the loot, is not gold or cash, but items that can be sold through local fronts or on eBay. So, who are these new-age outlaws?
We need to ask California Governor Gavin Newsom. He understands that the first step to a solution is to properly define the problem. So, Governor, who are the robbers? Newsom first described them as gangs of people. (Aren’t gangs always people? Maybe he just wanted to distinguish between gangs of muskrats. But I digress). So, like the old days, we have outlaw “gangs” robbing trains. It was not the first time that Newsom referred to the thieves as “gangs of people” – but is likely to be the last. In what can only be described as some accommodation to political correctness, Newsom corrected himself – apologized. These are NOT “gangs of people” – or gangs or any kind. What? Not gangs.
“Forgive me for saying ‘gangs’,” Newsom said. “They’re organized groups of folks that move from site to site.” Does that mean in Los Angeles, they have organized-groups-of-folks that-move-from-site-to-site wars? In Chicago, we called them “gang wars.” As would be expected from the top dog in the state, Newsom has a plan. He is calling for those robbing the box cars of millions of dollars in merchandise to be made to clean up the mess they leave behind as seen in the photograph atop this commentary. They could be charged with much more serious anti-crime laws, but I cannot find the criminal charges that cover illegal activity by an “organized-group-of-folks that-move-from-site-to-site.” There is also good news and bad news. The good news is that police are able to arrest a lot of the members of Newsom’s “organized-groups-of-folks that-move-from-site-to-site.” The bad news is that the one site they seem to move to and from faster than any other site is the hoosegow.
In a letter from the Union Pacific Railroad, officers wrote that “These individuals are generally caught and released back onto the streets in less than 24 hours.” (In case you play trivia, the Union Pacific was founded by President Lincoln. I imagine they have had some experience with train robbers in the past.) Newsom is getting some serious heat from public officials. State Senator Scott Wilk and Congressman Mike Garcia are urging the Governor to end his lenient polices on criminals. Wilk said, “Californians deserve safer communities and Republicans can look forward to fighting for every neighbor, retailer and employer who is fed up with the Democrats’ ‘Criminals First’ public safety agenda.” The Hole in the Wall Gangs ride again in California - The Punching Bag Post
Billionaires and millionaires like Mark Zuckerberg funded Newsom's recent recall election which he would most likely have otherwise lost. They are just as guilty as most Democrat politicians are of forsaking their responsibilities to the American People as they pursue their own un-American far-left-wing criminal and Marxist-like tyrannical political objectives.
