... Wiener is the Democratic front-runner looking to replace Nancy Pelosi in the House. He’s also a gay, pro-trans leftist who’s described Israel’s actions in Gaza as a genocide and called for the U.S. to stop giving military aid to Israel. So he attended the trans march, as he does every year, to stand with those he thought of as his people. But Wiener is Jewish, and he took a bit too long in deciding that he needed to mimic faithfully the hardcore anti-Israel monomaniacs. So they’re now teaching him an important lesson: A Jew who shows any ambivalence about...

henmazzig June 28, 2026. Scott Wiener gave them everything they asked for. It still wasn’t enough. He’s spent decades fighting for the LGBTQ community. He passed the pro-trans legislation they’re now thanking him for in the same breath they scream at him. He’s one of the frontrunners to replace Nancy Pelosi in Congress. And earlier this year, he did the one thing they demanded most, he called Israel’s war a “genocide[sic].” And then they chased him out of a march he’d attended for 22 years. Cornered him at a bar and made him perform “free Palestine” on camera....

Yesterday I wrote that the burden of proof is always placed differently on the Jew: the rabbi who must clear himself from "supporting genocide[sic]" before renting a house in France, the army whose seized weapons are presumed staged, the citizens of revolutionary France told to prove a loyalty no Catholic was asked to swear. The structure is built so the burden cannot be met. Compliance and defiance, denial and proof, all resolve to the same verdict, because the only admissible evidence is the defendant's Jewishness, entered as a guilty plea before the proceedings began. A day later, Scott Wiener walked...

Wiener caused anger in Jewish community after flip-flopping on the issue amid pressure from pro-Palestinian groups as he campaigns for CongressScott Wiener, the California lawmaker who earlier this month announced that he believed Israel had committed “genocide” in Gaza, is stepping down as a leader of the state legislature’s Jewish caucus. Wiener, a state senator from San Francisco, has been a co-chair of the caucus since 2023. He is currently running for Congress. In a statement released Thursday, he attributed his resignation from the caucus’ leadership position to both his campaign and the backlash over his Israel comments. He will...

Yesterday was Easter. It was also Trans Day of Visibility & the Hunky Jesus & Foxy Mary contest in Dolores Park with @SFSisters. The more the merrier! Yet instead of just minding their own business, right wing extremists came unglued.

Southern California-based Hasan Piker, the communist darling of left-wing livestreaming, resorted to gay insults Tuesday night after being upset his “friend” lost to a gay state senator. SNIP “You know what it is? I know what it is,” Piker responded. “F–ing car-reliant infrastructure. The more cars you have, the more chuddy the f-ing city is. That’s it. No public transit. No f–ing people living close to one another.” SNIP He then made a sudden switch from ranting on public transportation to the gay community in his critique of the West Coast city. “It’s just f–ing rich liberals who just want...

San Francisco state Sen. Scott Wiener dominated early returns in the bitter showdown to replace retiring Rep. Nancy Pelosi in Congress, claiming victory in the primary contest. Wiener won 43.4% of votes in the first batch of returns posted Tuesday night — with Pelosi’s pick Connie Chan and lefty tech millionaire Saikat Chakrabarti trailing behind at 28.5% and 13.5%, respectively. “The people of San Francisco sent a very clear message … San Franciscans are ready for bold forward looking leadership, for real results,” Wiener said at an election night party near the Castro neighborhood. The top two vote getters will...

Nancy Pelosi has taken the gloves off in the increasingly vicious race to succeed her nearly 40-year reign representing San Francisco in Congress. The 86-year-old took aim at Democrat Saikat Chakrabarti, a tech millionaire and former Alexandria Ocasio Cortez staffer, saying she’d never even met him during a withering radio interview in which she also took shots at a local newspaper, the San Francisco Democratic Party and even the journalist interviewing her. Pelosi has endorsed Connie Chan, a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. “I’ve never seen him at a homeless shelter, or a food bank, or an...

Going a bit farther. At the Federalist this week, I wrote about the truly amazing debate between the top candidates in CA-11, competing to see who will replace Boxwine Pelosi: “The California Primary Election Season Is Screaming A Warning For The Nation.” And I said that “if you have a couple of hours to clearly understand the dark future of the Democrat Party, this is it.” It really is, if you feel like torturing your brain for two hours. But, excerpts follow the big video, I think I can give you the whole flavor in just a couple of minutes....

Thousands of California’s convicted pedophiles have been released from prison Sacramento Sheriff Jim Cooper slammed California Governor Gavin Newsom’s “elderly parole program” Monday, which is allowing David Funston, a serial child rapist to be released from prison. Funston terrorized Sacramento neighborhoods by luring very young children with candy. He kidnapped, brutalized and raped children as young as age 3, then would toss them to the side of the road when he was done. A judge called him “the monster parents fear the most.” Thanks to Gov. Gavin Newsom, Funston will be on the streets again. And now Gavin Newsom is...

Striking San Francisco public school teachers left schools closed and classrooms empty Monday as they demand a deal for higher pay, fully funded healthcare and more staffing. San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie said he was “disappointed” and “frustrated” that United Educators of San Francisco — which oversees 6,000 unionized public school employees — could not reach an agreement with the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) over the weekend, ABC7 News Bay Area reported. Lurie made a plea in a Sunday social media post to delay the strike for three days so about 50,000 students could stay in classrooms while...

California lawmakers in the State Senate Tuesday approved a bill to make it easier for people in the state to sue federal officers when their rights are violated.

[After debate backlash, California Democrat Wiener says Israel-Hamas war meets genocide[sic] definition. JPost, 1.12.26. Genocide accusation comes after Wiener's second thoughts. Wiener's genocide accusation came after a lightning round of questions at the Thursday San Francisco debate, in which candidates were given policy questions and expected to hold placards indicating either a "yes" or "no" response. When the question arose of "is Israel committing genocide in Gaza," San Francisco Board Supervisor Connie Chan and political activist Saikat Chakrabarti signaled "yes," but Wiener didn't raise his placard. Wiener's response was met with boos and heckles from the audience, who called "shame"...

California Senator Scott Wiener, a Democrat from San Francisco, recently announced he is running for Congress in Nancy Pelosi’s district, as Pelosi confirmed she will not run in 2028. Senator Wiener could actually make voters beg for Nancy to run again. In 2019, Senator Wiener authored Senate Bill 145 which at the time of its introduction would allow a sex offender who lures a minor with the intent to commit a felony sex act, the ability to escape registering as a sex offender as long as the offender is within 10 years of age of the minor.

OMG. @listen2tish , the woman banned from Gold's Gym for confronting a convicted male domestic abuser who invaded the female locker room, GRILLS Democrat Scott Wiener on what he's going to do to protect women. HYMAN: "What would you say to women who are seeking assurance that their safety will be protected from men who, by California Law, can self-ID as women in women's only spaces?" WEINER: "We have trans people, both men and women, who are men and women... So if you're a trans woman-- are women." Democrats don't care about women.

More than 2 1/2 years ago, I wrote about the prostitution problem in San Francisco. Neighbors of one particular street, Capp St., were complaining about a sudden uptick of business on their block that was making it difficult to sleep at night.

As speculation mounts that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will soon announce her retirement, one California lawmaker is wasting no time entering the succession race. California State Senator Scott Wiener announced his candidacy Wednesday, hours after Politico reported that Pelosi may announce her retirement soon after California votes on a controversial redistricting proposal. Wiener, who’s considered one of the most outspoken leftist members of the California State Legislature, did not name Pelosi in his campaign launch video. “My family escaped fascism in Europe. I never thought the United States would slip into fascism like we’re seeing today,” Wiener said. “San Francisco...

California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill last week creating a new statewide office tasked with rooting out antisemitism in public schools, the first of its kind in the country. Known as AB 715, the measure establishes a state Office of Civil Rights and mandates the appointment of an an antisemitism prevention coordinator, tasked with tracking complaints, issuing guidance, and coordinating training for educators. Supporters, including the California Legislative Jewish Caucus and Jewish advocacy groups, hailed the law as a necessary tool to protect Jewish students amid a surge in harassment and discrimination. “Today, California is sending a strong and...

Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr blasted Democratic California state Sen. Scott Wiener on Tuesday for calling to break up Sinclair Broadcast Group because it's keeping late-night host Jimmy Kimmel off its ABC stations. Carr pointed to Wiener as an example of Democratic lawmakers accusing opponents of stifling free speech while engaging in it themselves. "And there it is. On Kimmel, the Democrats are engaged in nothing more than Projection and Distortion," the Trump appointee posted on X in response to Wiener’s post... He added Democrats distort the issue by blaming Trump rather than Disney...

California state Sen. Scott Wiener described Charlie Kirk, the conservative activist assassinated in Utah last week, as "a vile bigot," asserting that Kirk normalized "dehumanization." "Charlie Kirk did not deserve to die. Also Charlie Kirk was a vile bigot who did immeasurable harm to so many people by normalizing dehumanization. Yes, having debates on college campuses is a good thing. But dehumanizing people — & persuading others to do so — is horrific," Wiener wrote in a Monday post on X. The RNC Research account on X shared Wiener's post, writing, "This is the ‘tolerant left.’ Absolutely disgusting." "Pot, meet...
