Justice in San Francisco

Even in a city run by moonbats, where freeloaders are rewarded at seemingly every turn, sometimes there is justice. A member of the something-for-nothing crowd tried to sneak under a recently revamped Bay Area Rapid Transit fare gate in San Francisco — and this time did not get a free ride:

Via SFist:

“I hope she wasn’t hurt and I hope she received a nice ticket to pay for fare evasion,” says BART Director Liz Ames, speaking to NBC Bay Area about the viral incident. …

Trump-supporting former BART director Debora Allen also got a call for comment from NBC Bay Area, and she was happy to take credit for spearheading the new fare gate project. …

Ames added that revenue is up about $10 million, possibly thanks to the fare gates, and if that keeps up each year, the $90 million project to install the gates will have paid for itself in less than ten years.

Maybe there is hope even for San Francisco.

Moonbats Running Liberal Cities Take Mental Health Leave

The correlation between liberalism and mental illness is particularly noticeable among the moonbats ruling over our leftmost cities.

KMSP reports from Minneapolis:

Minneapolis City Council member Aisha Chughtai said on Monday that she plans to take a month-long break to seek care for her mental health, citing stressors such as an election, mass shootings and a federal occupation as stressors for her condition.

Last week, the New York Post reported from San Francisco:

A lefty member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors who abruptly went on leave at the end of March melted into tears as she explained to her constituents Tuesday why she needed the mental health break.

Supervisor Jacqueline Fielder is set to return to work next Monday, after her absence earlier in the year fueled theories on what motivated the first-term lawmaker to go missing from City Hall meetings for weeks before checking herself in for treatment.

“This leave and my whole adult life has been an entire journey on mental health,” whimpered Fielder.

She resumed her duties yesterday. It is anyone’s guess how many other moonbats with mental problems remain on the job, ruining our once great cities.

Mob Turns on Radical Left LGBTer Scott Wiener

No one is so far left that he will not be turned on by progressives who have progressed even further as the moonbat revolution inevitably eats its own. California State Senator Scott Wiener of San Francisco wants Nasty Pelosi’s seat in congress. He has based his political career on being deafeningly homosexual. He has politicized his perversion by targeting children for LGBTification and protecting those who molest them. Yet even this evil degenerate is viewed as a moderate by other moonbats — for not siding with Islamic terrorists against civilization. Girondins and Mensheviks can tell you what happens to those deemed moderate.

Via Townhall:

Scott Wiener, one of California’s most radical progressives, was kicked out of San Francisco’s Trans March because attendees attacked the politician for being too right-wing.

Masked attendees clad in black repeatedly screamed in the face of Wiener, claiming that he supported a “genocide in Gaza” and shouted “we f*****g hate you” as Wiener attempted to retreat from the progressive mob.

Not even this is enough to placate the mob:

Wiener is one of the most prolific state legislators for advancing the radical LGBT agenda in California. He famously advanced a bill that lowered the penalty for knowingly infecting someone with HIV from a felony to a misdemeanor, proposed a bill to remove the requirement to place an individual on the sex offender registry for having “non-forcible oral or anal sex” with a minor older than 14, and pushed bills targeting ICE and the Trump administration.

Legal Insurrection has more:

He also added an amendment to a 2023 family law/gender identity bill that, had it gone into effect, conceivably could have caused parents to be subjected to child abuse charges if they refused to affirm the “gender identity” of their child.

Another example of Wiener’s moderation:

During the 2022 monkeypox outbreak, Wiener actually encouraged gay orgies at bathhouses in part to reduce what he believed was the stigma surrounding the fact that monkeypox was primarily spreading through the gay male community.

Sorry, Wiener. You aren’t keeping up with progress.

He should look at the bright side. At least today’s Jacobins don’t use guillotines — yet:

If that is how these maniacs treat a radical left Democrat who is too Jewish to advocate “From the River to the Sea” (i.e., the extermination of his fellow Jews in their homeland), imagine how they will treat us if they manage to achieve power following their takeover of the Democratic Party.

Friday’s San Francisco Trans March mob also confronted the police:

Soon these people may control the police.

California: Home of the Worst-Run Cities

According to Matthew 7:16, Ye shall know them by their fruits. In California, the fruits of moonbats are ruined cities.

From the New York Post:

WalletHub analyzed 148 of the biggest American metropolitan areas, trying to determine how efficiently the local governments run each city.

They developed a “Quality of Services” score based on 36 different metrics across six key areas – Financial Stability, Education, Health, Safety, Economy and Infrastructure & Pollution.

Don’t look in the top 25 for California cities; you won’t find any. Only one is in the top half. But there are six in the bottom 15.

San Francisco is the Mecca of Moonbattery, launching the likes of Nancy Pelosi, Kamala Harris, and Gavin Newsom toward power. Unsurprisingly, it ranks dead last for the second year in a row.

California used to be paradise on earth — the American Dream come true. Then came liberalism.

Race-Based Waste Resumes in San Francisco

Posted on by

No wonder identity groups vie so aggressively for cherished “marginalized” status. City Journal reports on a program intended to bestow benefits upon supposedly oppressed blacks in San Francisco:

Known as the Dream Keeper Initiative, the relaunched program will grant $36 million to “community-serving organizations,” including some that have offered “Afri-centric” mental-health services, African ancestry DNA testing, and free doulas for “African American birthing people.”

“Birthing people” is Liberalese for women who really are women.

The reason we pay taxes is so the government can provide crucial services in return, such as police protection. Where liberals have consolidated power, these services are neglected in favor of more selectively beneficial priorities:

The Dream Keeper Initiative was founded by former San Francisco Mayor London Breed in 2021, fulfilling her promise to redirect police funding to “the African American community” in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death. In February 2021, Breed announced that the city would divert $120 million from its law-enforcement budgets to fund the program, which would in turn funnel money to a web of left-wing nonprofits.

The idea is for whites to pay more into the government than they get in return, so that blacks can get more than they pay for. Those who do not enjoy being effectively enslaved through taxation on the basis of their race are denounced by liberals as “racists.”

Dream Keeper funded a down-payment-assistance program that made “homeownership dreams real for a growing number of Black people in San Francisco”; a $2.2 million grant to “Black trans-serving organizations” that promised to “improve outcomes for Black transgender people”; and a program that recruited black educators to teach the city’s black students.

Unsurprisingly, the program has been characterized by corruption. Lurie called Breed on this while campaigning against her in 2024. Yet now he has relaunched the program.

As part of the Dream Keeper Initiative, the Homeless Children’s Network has secured lavish funding…

…which will support “Afri-centric, trauma-informed community health and wellness services.” HNC also operates the Ma’at Program, a form of “Afri-centric” therapy named after the “ancient Egyptian concepts of truth, balance, order, harmony, and justice.” This program, also funded by the original Dream Keeper Initiative, employed black therapists to treat black patients purportedly suffering from “trauma brought about by racism and homophobia.”

More extravagantly favored even than blacks are blacks who identify as LGBT:

The Lurie administration also earmarked $450,000 for “The Transgender District Company” to provide “safe-space programming,” “legal name and gender marker clinics,” and an annual “wellness fair connecting participants to affirming care.” The organization, founded by three black trans-identifying women, also hosts an annual “Riot” party to celebrate the “Compton’s Cafeteria Riots” of 1966, during which “transgender and queer” activists clashed with police in San Francisco’s Tenderloin District. Last year’s “Reparations is a Riot!” party featured a lineup of all-black drag queens and listed the City and County of San Francisco and the Mayor’s Office of Housing & Community Development as sponsors.

In no sane world would taxpayers be forced to fund this sick lunacy. Yet if liberals prevail, San Francisco will serve as the template for the rest of the country. The two top candidates for the Democrat presidential nomination are former SF Mayor Gavin Newsom and former SF District Attorney (and before that Mayor Willie Brown concubine) Kamala Harris.

CEO in Homeless–Industrial Complex Charged With Misappropriating Over $1.2 Million in Public Funds

Posted on by

The homeless–industrial complex is a lucrative sector of the economy. However, liberal establishment grifters are advised that if they are dumb enough they can still get in trouble, even in deep blue California. National Review reports on Gwendolyn Westbrook, former CEO of the United Council of Human Services:

The former CEO of a San Francisco-based homelessness nonprofit was charged Monday with nine felony counts after allegedly misappropriating more than $1.2 million in public funds.

In addition to the $1.2 million,

Court documents show that other large amounts of money are also missing from UCHS accounts.

Westbrook represents the tip of an iceberg:

The state of California spent $24 billion from 2019 to 2024 to address homelessness but officials are unsure exactly how the money was spent, according to a state audit released last year, which found that no systems were in place to track expenditures.

Regarding the return taxpayers get for their money,

Over the five-year period covered by the audit, California’s homeless population grew by 20 percent, from 151,278 in 2019 to 181,399 in 2023.

From the viewpoint of Gavin Newsom et al., this represents success. Spending other people’s money on homelessness results in more homelessness, which facilitates ever greater access by Democrats to other people’s money.
