Bay area residents are reporting that dozens of birds are exploding and falling out of the sky mid flight. One ring camera caught the instant of a bird's demise on video. I've time stamped it in this report. VIDEO AT LINK......... There's a pop and then it drops. Residents watching it happen explain it like this: ‘So when they land and it happens, they just quickly explode and it's really violent,' Richmond resident Maximillian Bolling told KGO-TV. And 'It sounded like a firecracker, and a black bird — a starling — just plummeted to the ground,' witness Mark Hoehner told...

For more than half a century, there was just one place on the UC Berkeley campus where you’d run into 20-year-old Aaron Rodgers rocking a bowl cut, see a stand-up set from comedy legend Robin Williams or hear Grateful Dead icon Jerry Garcia perform live. The Bear’s Lair — Berkeley’s only on-campus pub — was both the only bar with beer dripping from the ceiling after a Jason Kidd-led Cal team shocked Duke in the NCAA Tournament and the only location that made any sense to drop off the torn-down goal post following the 2002 Big Game (I remember, because...

SAN FRANCISCO, CA — As part of his ongoing crusade to change the name of each body of water in the world, President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that the San Francisco Bay would now be known as the "Gulf of Criminals." The move to rename the bay coincides with Trump's push to reopen and expand Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary, with the president saying the new title would be a perfect reflection of the body of water and the city itself. "We'll call it what it is," Trump told reporters when announcing the new name. "It's a gulf and it's...

The NCAA is coming to ready to adjudicate the case of the century. The NCAA has the most important case in their history. Already they have lost on NIL and paying players, but they still have rules for cheating, lying, and advanced scouting (stealing). Michigan is beging to realize with the notice(s) of allegations, and the upcoming hearings, that their PR machine is beginning to crack. The National Media is beginning to clue in on what was going on. In part there was a FBI investigation that gave the university cover, because the NCAA could not move forward until they...

People living in San Francisco who earn over $100,000 a year are considered low-income, according to a new report. The report was released by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) last month. In San Francisco, the report states, a single-person household with income of $109,700 is considered low-income. A two-person household with an income of $125,350 would similarly be classed as low-income. The HCD’s report crunches federal income data, takes into account household size, and then calculates five categories of income, ranging from acutely low to moderate. The determinations are then leveraged to determine who is eligible...

Democrats nationally may be in turmoil, but liberals in San Francisco are hopeful the new mayor’s collaborative approach will help solve entrenched problems in a city recently known for its bitter infighting and chaotic streets. Daniel Lurie, an heir to the the Levi Strauss fortune and anti-poverty nonprofit founder with no elected experience, beat out incumbent London Breed in November after spending nearly $10 million of his own money. Voters embraced his promise to make government work again after years of San Francisco attracting national attention for its empty downtown, open-air drug use and sprawling tent encampments. In an interview...

SAN FRANCISCO — Former Vice President Al Gore on Monday compared President Donald Trump’s administration to Nazi Germany and issued a dire warning about Trump’s use of power in a speech devoted to climate change. Speaking at an event at the start of San Francisco’s Climate Week, Gore said the Trump administration was “trying to create their own preferred version of reality” to achieve their sweeping objectives similar to Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Party in the 1930s and ‘40s. “I understand very well why it is wrong to compare Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich to any other movement,” Gore said to an...

San Francisco Democrats — who have produced some of the most left-wing politicians in America, and some of the most astonishing examples of poor “progressive” governance — want to move the party to the center. That, at least, is the claim made by some local party activists in the pages of Politico on Monday: Leaders of the local party argue the famously liberal city has, in recent years, exported one bad political idea after another, leading Democrats astray and ceding power in Washington to Donald Trump and the GOP. They cite “defund the police,” symbolic resolutions about foreign conflicts like...

"We are by long odds the most ill-mannered nation, civilized or savage, that exists on the planet today. Our president stands for us like a colossal monument."I have often wondered at the condition of things which set aside morality in politics and make possible the election of men whose unfitness is apparent. We have never had a president before who was destitute of self-respect & of respect for his high office; we have had no president before who was not a gentleman; we have had no president before who was intended for a butcher, a dive keeper or a bully,...

San Francisco has erected a statue of a woman with no clothes on which will be greeting visitors in front of the Ferry Building. The 45-foot-tall statue was installed to "jazz up downtown" according to CBS News. One worker was seen doing a "surgical procedure" on the statue's rear end. The sculpture and base weigh 30,000 pounds. "This sculpture is about being seen. Women’s presence in public art is rare. When they are depicted, it is often through outdated or passive narratives," said artist Marco Cochrane."She stands strong, aware, and grounded—calling for a world where all people can walk freely...

We are all undocumented now. We Americans no longer have undeniable legal status in this country. Our rights, our organizations, our jobs, our health, our schools, our laws, our Constitution — all are now provisional, subject to the whims of the self-proclaimed “King” in the White House.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) took a shot at Senate Minority Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Tuesday for his controversial vote with Republicans last week to avert a government shutdown. Pelosi, during a press conference in San Francisco, affirmed that she had confidence in Schumer’s ability to lead the Democratic caucus in the Senate going forward, but argued that the Brooklyn Democrat made too many concessions to Republicans when he abruptly announced that he would vote to advance the GOP-crafted government funding bill. “I myself don’t give away anything for nothing,” Pelosi said. “I think that’s what happened the other...
