This is Nancy’s city been representing them
for her long career.

Maybe if Nan spent more time helping her city
then helping herself doing insider trading
and plotting witch hunts, impeachments, Jan 6
fake riots her city would not be dying.

Why she has been elected so often when things
continued to get far worse infuriates me.

These photos show a little sprucing up and paint-up, fix-up should bring them right back.

Ready for more shoplifting and derelict tents on the sidewalks.

Sadly, London Breed is the closest thing San Francisco has to an adult in the room. The rest of them are crazier.

Just think of what this means for the once great city of San Francisco. This is not something that can be fixed in a few months, or even a few years. And, it’s much the same for several other large cities, such as Chicago and Portland. NY, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Atlanta, and others are on the same path. Even our nation’s capitol is on that path where crime, drugs, and corruption are just accepted as normal. The only concern of many is that they just get their part before it all collapses.

Our nation is one in decline. We are not a nation that is moving forward in creating more vibrant and successful cities. We have simply accepted that our nation’s best days are over with and now is the time to hie to the country, hope it doesn’t reach your area, and watch it from afar.

How awful to watch it as it happens and realize that those elected to manage our nation and its resources are participating in and working to bring forth the destruction.

We have been betrayed!

Last week, a Walgreens store next to Westfield mall was the scene of a fatal shooting after a private security guard allegedly shot a shoplifter.

There was a protest parade on Market Street past that Walgreens store today. Liberals upset that security guards are shooting shoplifters. If it were up to me, I'd say shoot them all. Scruffy filthy thieves who ruin it for everyone. How about a protest against charges being brought against the security guard, he's a hero.

The bridges, City Hall, the Opera House, Coit Tower, etc etc absolute jewels.

Those jewels were built when San Francisco was a Republican run city.

I live on the west coast and have never considered San Francisco to be beautiful or special. The Golden Gate bridge is ok.

I dunno. I went to SF in the late 60’s mostly to get laid. Visited all the famous spots from tourist trap Fisherman’s Wharf to the Haight. After a few weeks I was unimpressed. And the many times I stayed in Union Square on business over the years. I never saw it as anything remarkable.

Back in the day, San Diego was the place to be. As long as you weren’t a sailor you could score with a different beauty every night.

As for Seattle, that’s a mystery. Never been there but at 226/yr days of gloom or rain it can’t be much.

Orwell was wrong.

Youve been listening to Catherine Austin Fitts.

Her Planet Lockdown interview goes into this regarding the riots during Covid. All happened to be around Federal Reserve properties.

High-culture people travel is chauffeur driven cars and private jets. But I get your point.

All those empty buildings ought to provide places to “home” the homeless, get them and their tents off the streets.

You missed drugs and prostitution (to pay for the drugs).
