Let's Boycott San Francisco

The City by the Bay has turned into a City of Pigs.

Leftist thugs with college degrees have ruined that town.

The police cannot -- or will not -- do their jobs.

Illegal aliens are treated like citizens, and the citizens get killed by the illegal aliens.

Corrupt Mayor Edwin Lee

The housing costs area beyond outrageous.

Who is going to pay $8,000 a month for a one bedroom shoebox?

Don't laugh when I suggest that people are living in boxes.

San Francisco professionals or anyone else who is trying to make a living in that town, resort to living in their cars or in boxes, or rental moving vans along streets.

Insanity!

The city pushed a $15 minimum wage hike. Welcome, automated cashiers!

Charter schools face nothing but wrath from the unions.

FBI agents can't afford to live there, they end up having to commute from ... Sacramento.

The city council is a nefarious busy-body into just about everything.

They have banned the sharing economy in many of its forms.

They want to ban travel to states where the lawmakers believe men and women should use separate bathrooms.

How much travel do San Francisco politicians make to other states or other cities?

This dirty city pursued community choice aggregation, which is not about community or choice and aggregates power to the few at the expense of the rest.

San Francisco has given birth to some of the worst politicians in recent memory.

Let's talk about

1. Nancy Pelosi

2. Dianne Feinstein

3. Barbara Boxer.

4. Kamala Harris (UGH! The Worst!)
Geez!

Can we just let San Francisco secede and become its own country?!

This little dirt clod on a cue tip is a cancer eating up the entire state of California.

The tolls are too high.

Lowell High School, in much better days (100 years ago)

The winos have more rights and privileges than the wine-makers.

The city stinks, stinks, stinks. People defecate and fornicate on the streets in front of everyone and anyone.

Homeless camps, tents, anything that could be considered shelter take up the sidewalks.

Market Street is a market in name only, ans undemocratic socialism is the norm.

Lawyers make lots of money, though!

It's hard to make it if you are working class, or of a different ethicity. Blacks are getting priced out of San Francisco, and who knows about Hispanics--the ones living her legally, that is.

The celebrate the destruction of life and marriage.

The political class lives like kings and ueens (with emphasis on ueens)

The mayor and the chief of police are routinely under fire, and they cave to every Social Injustice Warrior imaginable.

If anyone wants to know what abject liberalism looks like, and its dire, destructive conseuences, look no further than San Francisco.

Dont' leave your heart there, or your wallet, or anything of value.

How about we leave the city in the middle of the ocean, and let is drift away?

Let's Boycott San Francisco

Who needs Ghiradelli chocolate? I don't care about Lombard street that much.

And who wants to live in Pacific Heights, anyway? The rent is too damn high, and the city is a misty, musty, crusty, chunti little dump where they throw their calenders out the window, along with anything left of their profits.

The California U.S. Senate Race Falls Flat

After twenty-four years, California has an open US Senate seat. Yippee!

Batty Barbara “I can stand up to bullies!” Boxer finally got the message—no one wants her or likes her—and she announced her retirement.

Excitement ensued for policy wonks like me. I had hoped that a number of high-profile (even Establishment leaning) Republicans would leap at the chance to replace her.

And ... nope.

I hope and prayed for a year. Even though the June primary has finally arrived, a conservative’s hopes for a decent, competitive US Senate race have dissipated. The race for US Senate has slowed down.

Yes, you read the headline correctly.

I have been chomping at the bit about this race since January last year.

I wanted Stanford Professor, former National Security Advisor, and then Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice to run. She turned it down, and a good friend of mine delivered the message.

Darrell Issa? He’s rich, well-connected. He knows party leaders in Washington as well as California. Surely he could finance a decent campaign. Nope. Dana Rohrabacher or Tom McClintock? They would be great choices, based on their ideological bent and commitment to conservative principles.

But … no. They declined to throw their hats into the ring. Really, can you blame then? Orange County and the Northeast quadrant of the state of California should be their own, ruby-red states. Then those two could launch a competitive—and successful—bid for the upper chamber in Washington.

Little Babs is gone for good!

As it stands, California is a massive red state in the middle (I just got off the phone with a state assemblyman from the Fresno area more conservative than I could ever hope to be).

California is a tough state to campaign in, even if you are a liberal Democrat with no regard for the rule of law or the balance of security and liberty, which has become so casually tossed aside.  38 million residents (not including the accommodated illegal alien population).

What about San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer? No way. He’s not even interested in running for Governor. He’s on track for re-election in San Diego, though.

How times and opportunities have changed (for the worse) in California. Twenty years ago, the Republican Mayor of San Diego ran for US Senate and then for Governor. That was Pete Wilson. Despite his weak stance on life (he’s pro-choice), he stood strong on immigration. He championed Prop 187, to cut off all taxpayer subsidies to illegal aliens. So did a strong majority of the state.

Sorry, naysayers, but that measure was not anti-immigrant. It was anti-illegal immigration. The rule of law matters. Just ask Kathryn Steinle (oops, her parents, since an five-time deported illegal murdered her in Sanctuary City San Francisco). After watching anti-Trump protests turn violent and vicious, Republicans need to take up that law and order mantle again—now.

But resting on your wilting laurels cannot ensure success. In 1996, Republicans lost their majorities in Sacramento, and a few seats in Congress, including conservative proto-Tea Party radical Robert “B-1 Bob” Dornan, to a little-known GOP-turned Dem Latina named …. Loretta Sanchez.

Republicans have steadily lost ground since then, with no sign of reconciling the family conservatives with the diminishing number of working-class Californians who just want to love life and see good days. Election 2016 offers two former CAGOP chairmen (Duf Sundheim and Tom Del Beccaro), plus an assortment of eclectics, like eccentric millionaire Ron “Raise the Minimum Wage” Unz and chanceless third-party candidates. My absentee ballot came with a warning  label: 34 candidates, one vote, that’s it.

Wow!

Democrats could not clear the field for their anointed Kammy, and Republicans couldn’t stop rapid rabbits from jumping out of the hat. Election 2016 has showcased a wild primary, and yet California’s general election is heading towards a top-two Democratic downturn. Korrupt Kamala Harris (the Attorney General for Democrats, but no one else) attacks pro-life activists because Planned Murderhood funds her campaign (with the dollars used to buy baby parts). Her chief rival is Loony Loretta Sanchez, Congresswoman from Orange, Orange County. From crazy Christmas postcards to her Indian war-whoop at the Democratic Party convention, she is definitely unconventional. She is striving to position herself more to the center to scoop up disaffected Independents and uber-pragmatic (or resigned) Republicans.

Good luck with that.

There is a red lining to this blue cloud louring over the Golden state. Two Democrats, each with an even chance of winning, will spend massive sums of money to kill each other. Every labor union, environmental action group, Big Business interest will plunge millions into this fight.

I tried to ask Congresswoman Sanchez some questions at Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles in Inglewood, CA. (Sanchez’ desperate pandering to win the black vote). She blew me off, then the manager took my phone away and forced me to leave. What kind of a US Senatorial candidate resists answering questions from concerned constituents?

For this conservative, the US Senate race is dying down.

Loony Loretta ignores me

Will Republicans have a chance at the U.S. Senate again? Right now, I am not holding my breath, for then the only ruby red anywhere near that seat would be my gasping head.

Why have Republicans lost their grip on California?

The answer flows from two conflicts.

1. They did not adapt to the coming demographic shifts. I am not talking about the influx of Hispanics, whether they were illegal themselves, or their parents came illegally. Republicans have enjoyed the echo chamber and the circular firing squad all too much. It’s easier to yell at those you know than to greet those you don’t know …

2. Instead of doubling-down against illegal immigration; instead of fighting harder to preserve and protect Prop 187; instead of calling for the recall of the corrupt judge which threw out the measure, Republicans stayed safe with what little they had gained in 1994.

We need clear principles and convictions, plus a plan to make it happen. Election 2016 is a warm-up. 2018 may afford better chances.
