Footage of President Biden and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi clasping hands as they gingerly shuffled across the tarmac at San Francisco’s airport is being mercilessly derided as proof of the commander-in-chief’s infirmity — with one calling it a “nursing home reunion.” Biden, 81, reunited with Pelosi (D-Calif.), 83, when he touched down at SFO Wednesday afternoon as part of a three-day fundraising marathon through the Golden State, NBC News reported. After greeting Pelosi and Mayor London Breed on the tarmac, the octogenarian president and the speaker emerita slowly made their way to board Marine One, footage showed

A San Francisco Bay area teacher went viral on Twitter last weekend after posting a lengthy thread arguing that sex between a child and an adult is not “intrinsically harmful.” Zara Degeneres, a self-described “pagan witch,” faced widespread condemnation from parents. According to her LinkedIn page, she specializes in “teaching sex-positive values to middle and high school students through sex education. On Friday, Degeneres wrote, “Sometimes in education, a student hits you with what can only be described as a ‘curveball.’ In my case, as a provider of consent-awareness and sex-positivity-oriented courses, I often find myself getting pulled towards some...

Megyn Kelly isn’t buying the San Francisco Police Department’s version of events as it investigates the assault on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband. “I know enough to smell a rat,” the former Fox News and NBC star said during her podcast on Monday. During an interview with Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) on her SiriusXM podcast on Monday, Kelly blasted any notion that the attack on Paul Pelosi, 82, was politically motivated, pointing out that the suspect, David DePape, 42, is a “lunatic.” “I feel like at a minimum, the SFPD has egg on its face because even under the most...

by Jim Clayborn | RNNOne of the most bizarre details about the Paul Pelosi attack is that there is no security footage being released to the general public, and the mainstream media is trying to pretend that it is no big deal and that everyone should just move along with the established narrative.Initial reports from several media outlets that covered the first moments after the weird attack claimed that Pelosi had no security camera systems working, which is of public concern, considering Pelosi is third in line to be President, especially in these troubling times.The Pelosi's have so far "declined...

Just curious.

San Francisco banned the sale of e-cigarettes Tuesday, making it the first U.S. city to do so. The ordinance pits San Francisco against one of its most prominent hometown startups, e-cigarette maker Juul Labs. Juul said the ordinance is counterproductive and will fuel a black market for e-cigs. The city of San Francisco on Tuesday voted to impose a blanket ban on e-cigarettes — making it the first American city to outlaw the sale, distribution and manufacturing of vaping products.  The sweeping restriction also puts San Francisco at odds with one of its most prominent hometown startups, Juul Labs, which last...

FULL TITLE: Conditions On The Streets Of San Francisco Are Comparable To “The Slums Of Mumbai, Delhi, Mexico City, Jarkarta, And Manila” Once upon a time, some of the most beautiful cities in the entire world were on the west coast, but now those same cities are degenerating into drug-infested cesspools of filth and garbage right in front of our eyes.  San Francisco is known as the epicenter for our tech industry, and Los Angeles produces more entertainment than anyone else in the world, and yet both cities are making headlines all over the world for other reasons these days. ...

Recent investigations into the ever-worsening living conditions have found that liberal California is home to some of the "filthiest slums" in the world. Californian cities Los Angeles and San Fransisco have been found to be so dirty, that conditions, in some areas, are worse than third world countries such as Kenya or India.

~Snip~ For those of us who’ve lived in The City for awhile, it takes a lot to get us to raise an eyebrow: A dude walking down the street wearing nothing but a Giants cap and a cock sock? We call that Tuesday. A lady who’s dyed her dog’s fur pink to match her own? That’s just Lisa. Paying $900 month at age 37 to have three roommates and no living room? That’s called adulthood. There are oodles of quirky things we take for granted here, but there are also sad ones to which we’ve become all too accustomed: Expecting...

Texas Republicans have spent years trying to crack down on illegal immigration across the southern border with Mexico. Emboldened by the election of Donald Trump, however, the time may finally be right for the GOP to mobilize an assault on loosely defined "sanctuary cities," especially with two large counties eyeing such policies. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has pushed the issue to the front of his unofficial agenda for 2017, pledging in interviews and on social media to sign into law a "ban" on cities and local governments that are seen as protecting people in the U.S. illegally, with sanctions such...

FULL TITLE: If You See This “Contraption” While Walking In Public, You May Want To Walk The Other Way IMMEDIATELY Public urination has typically been considered inappropriate — and usually illegal as well. But one California city recently decided that people urinating in public wasn’t such a bad thing, as long as they were doing it in a designated, open-air urinal, according to Fox News. In January, San Francisco’s Dolores Park was equipped with an open-air urinal following complaints that too few bathrooms were available, and people were relieving themselves wherever they wanted. But not everyone has embraced the government’s...

Aug 18, 2015; 8:00 AM ET: A magnitude 4.0 earthquake rattled the San Francisco area Monday, Aug. 17, briefly halting train services while workers inspected the tracks. No injuries or serious damage were reported but these dogs knew something was up.

San Francisco prides itself as a tolerant place, but it is closed off to one thing: Indiana. On Thursday, San Francisco Mayor Edwin Lee, a Democrat, directed all City Departments under his authority to bar publicly funded travel to the Hoosier State. The decision followed Indiana Republican Gov. Mike Pence’s decision to sign a “religious freedom” bill that critics say effectively sanctions discrimination of LGBT citizens by private businesses. “We stand united as San Franciscans to condemn Indiana’s new discriminatory law,” Lee said in a statement. “San Francisco taxpayers will not subsidize legally-sanctioned discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender...

The new White House report that issued a dire warning about the nation’s changing climate comes on the heels of another study that illustrated how those changes could leave the world's largest coastal cities submerged in water. On Tuesday, President Obama stressed in an interview with TODAY’s Al Roker that climate change is already an issue costing the nation in numerous ways. "This is a problem that is affecting Americans right now," he said after the release of the new National Climate Assessment report, a comprehensive review of climate change and its impact on the country. "Whether it means increased...

There once was a popular Indian teacher named Papa G, who drew students from far and wide. People flocked to see him and hear his words of wisdom. One lucky man who was able to attend one of his retreats spoke to Papa G, with camera in hand. The visitor asked the guru what he’d like to say to the multitudes all around the world vying to come to India to see him. Papa G smiled an impish grin and said, “Stay home.” Papa G’s words remind me a bit of Dorothy, who journeyed all around Oz, only to find...

There’s never a good time or place to go on an anti-gay tirade, but onstage at a club in San Francisco owned by a gay man, in front of many gay fans, is probably near the bottom of the list. Michelle Shocked, a singer-songwriter whose sexuality was once fairly ambiguous, stunned fans Sunday night at Yoshi’s Jazz Club with a homophobic rant, according to USA Today. The 51-year-old singer reportedly said that if California’s Proposition 8, which effectively bans gay marriage, is overturned, “it will be the downfall of civilization, and Jesus will come back.” As her rant went on,...

SAN FRANCISCO — San Francisco may be getting ready to shed its image as a city where anything goes, including clothing. City lawmakers are scheduled to vote Tuesday on an ordinance that would prohibit nudity in most public places, a blanket ban that represents an escalation of a two-year tiff between a devoted group of men who strut their stuff through the city's famously gay Castro District and the supervisor who represents the area. Supervisor Scott Wiener's proposal would make it illegal for a person over the age of 5 to "expose his or her genitals, perineum or anal region...

The practice of infant circumcision, which carries particular religious significance for Jews, may be outlawed later this year in San Fransisco. A ballot initiative is underway which would ask voters whether to prohibit the practice in November. The proposed new law would make it a misdemeanor to circumcise a person before they are 18-years-old."We don't come at this from a religious angle," Lloyd Schofield told the San Francisco Examiner. "We feel this is a very harmful thing. Parents are guardians. They are not owners of children. It's a felony to tattoo a child." The effort is being taken seriously in...
