Christians risk another expansion of the Transsexual Violence Hall of Horrors when they courageously preach the Gospel in liberal strongholds like San Francisco:

Note the finger on the trigger at 0:22. Among the most basic rules of gun use are (1) never point a gun at anything you are not willing to destroy and (2) keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to pull it. You never know when guns might go off.

This reportedly happened at 4th and Market Streets on Wednesday. For some reason local media, which you would expect to be hysterically hoplophobic, doesn’t seem interested in this misuse of a firearm.

One reason to keep government at arm’s length from healthcare is that anything it touches becomes politicized — and anything Democrats touch is turned upside-down. For example, the San Francisco Department of Public Health has appointed a weight stigma czar, whose duty is to encourage obesity:

Virgie Tovar, a self-described ‘anti-weight-based discrimination’ expert describes herself as a prominent advocate for ‘fat positivity’ and body acceptance.

Grunts Tovar:

‘This consultancy is an absolute dream come true, and it’s my biggest hope and belief that weight neutrality will be the future of public health.’

She is opposed to dieting, standard health metrics like body mass index, beauty standards, and “fatphobia.”

With moonbats, the issue is never the issue. The issue is always cultural Marxism:

Tovar, who authored a book entitled You Have the Right to Remain Fat, positions herself as a leading voice against weight-based discrimination.

Gays became privileged members of the Oppressed. Why not the morbidly obese? Tovar explicitly makes the comparison by referring to the military’s Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy, which preceded the current encouragement of homosexuality in the armed forces:

Like homosexuality, obesity entails serious health risks. Per the NIH, these include:

• Type 2 diabetes
• High blood pressure
• Heart disease
• Stroke
• Metabolic syndrome
• Fatty liver diseases
• Some cancers
• Breathing problems
• Osteoarthritis
• Gout
• Diseases of the gallbladder and pancreas
• Kidney disease
• Pregnancy problems
• Fertility problems
• Sexual function problems
• Mental health problems

It’s almost as if the moonbats running Democrat strongholds like San Francisco do not have our well-being as their primary concern.

It isn’t just pharmacy deserts that liberal policies are creating in California. Classic food deserts are still in fashion:

According to a spokesperson for the company, Safeway will be shuttering its location in the Fillmore neighborhood of San Francisco “due to ongoing concerns about associate and customer safety, as well as persistent issues with theft.”

The local media reports that Safeway wanted to close it a while ago but yielded to pressure from the moonbats in charge:

Shoplifting is effectively legal and even encouraged in California. Liberal mecca San Francisco is ground zero for the deliberately engineered shoplifting epidemic.

Guess whose fault it is when there are no more Safeways in “diverse” neighborhoods? That’s right: Safeway’s, for being racist. Providing themselves with proof of racism is among the motivations for liberals to make it infeasible to run stores in areas under their total domination.

The ultimate goal is to advance Marxism. If you like grocery shopping in Venezuela, you will love it at the free food markets in San Francisco.

Bwahahahaha! Sorry, let me compose myself. Anticop moonbat Darcie Bell… bwahahahaha! No, it’s too funny. I’ll let the New York Post start the story:

When thieves made off with Darcie Bell’s rented U-Haul truck, the San Francisco woman put out a call for help on X: “If you see a 26 foot uhaul truck with the Arizona plate AL50003- would you let me know because it had like everything I own on it.”

Sad — if it had happened to anyone else. But Bell has spent years spewing Defund the Police moonbattery.

Even now she denounces the cops:

Mere hours after she filed a police report, she blasted the police for not immediately locating her stolen possessions.

They may have been able to find more urgent priorities.

She has been taking her revenge by defiantly reposting demands that the police be defunded so that San Franfreakshow can continue its slide into anarchy. Nothing will cure some moonbats of moonbattery — not even confrontation with the inevitable consequences of their ideology.

At least thieves didn’t steal her precious Covid mask:

San Francisco has been ground zero for the wokefication of America. You might think it at least would be free of racism against anyone except Caucasians. But no; a black dog walker named Terry Williams says he has been racially menaced.

The San Francisco Standard reports that according to Williams…

…he received packages, each containing a blackface doll with a noose around its neck, on April 26 and May 5 at his Grove Street home.

Sounds doubtful. Then the story gets more serious:

Weeks later, Williams’ home was burned down; the cause of the fire remains unknown. …

On Friday, the SFPD named a suspect in the case — 67-year-old San Francisco resident April Martin Chartrand…

A warrant has been issued for her arrest.

“The San Francisco Police Department does not tolerate racism of any kind,” the department wrote in a press release Friday.

Looks like Chartrand sent the dolls and then set his house on fire to be racist. But wait: Chartrand is black too.

A LinkedIn page that appears to be Chartrand’s indicates that she has a master’s degree in psychology from San Francisco State University; an Instagram account under her name lists her as a dominatrix. A landing page on SFSU says her research has focused on, among other things, the “subcultured, racialized and marginalized” and women of color in the Bay Area fetish scene.

Unsurprisingly, Chartrand also claims to be a victim of racism:

On Facebook last month, Chartrand published a post urging people to condemn bigotry after describing how “an evil hegemonic woman” yelled a racist comment at her in front of about 30 people in the Mission District.

Getting a master’s degree in psychology from SFSU isn’t a complete waste of time. You learn how to use words like “hegemonic.”

Chartrand proclaimed that she found the incident “triggering” and screeched ungrammatically about the “undercurrents of racism and bigotry that is pervasive in all of society and also in San Francisco (USA).”

It’s not clear what makes police believe Chartrand is a suspect in the case of the racist threats or if she’s also suspected in the fire that destroyed Williams’ home.

Another suspect could be Williams himself. He says he…

…cut ties with people who thought he manufactured the hate crime and subsequent house fire.

“My circle of friends got smaller,” he said.

Why would his own friends think he was staging a hate hoax?

A motive in some hoaxes is the worshipful sympathy bestowed upon victims of racism:

Community members held a rally for Williams soon after the hate crime made headlines. In the months since the fire displaced his family, the burned-down building became a makeshift monument to solidarity: Hundreds of people left uplifting notes and art that now cover the exterior.

Whoever is behind the dolls and the arson, the motive is likely to have more to do with mental illness than racism.

San Francisco, the mecca of the moonbat religion, is a great place to be a criminal:

Victims say they are devastated after San Francisco Superior Court shockingly dismissed over 70 cases against accused domestic abusers, sex offenders and drunk drivers.

The cases were dropped due to a large backlog, for which Covid is providing an excuse. Other causes of the backlog include the dysfunction and explosive criminality that characterize liberal rule.

While the District Attorney’s office denies blame over the situation, it comes after a turbulent few years for the department that saw former DA Chesa Boudin ousted from office after murders soared 11 percent and the city was gripped by daylight robberies.

Boudin is the offspring of Weather Underground terrorists. With his parents behind bars for murder, he was raised by their fellow Weather Underground terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn — the same ones who hosted in their home a fundraiser and kickoff event for Barack Obama’s first political campaign. Like many openly pro-criminal DAs, Boudin was installed in office by top Democrat financier George Soros. Predictably, this helped cause an explosion in crime that is often not punished.

San Francisco used to be a major tourist attraction, drawing revenue from around the world. The inevitable consequences of moonbattery are putting a stop to this:

San Francisco’s glitzy hotels have been plunged into massive debt following a dramatic drop off in tourism to the Golden Gate City. …

San Francisco’s tourism industry struggles to recover to its pre-pandemic levels, while other parts of the country bounce back.

Hotel occupancy is down 22% in the San Francisco–San Mateo region since 2019, compared to 4% nationwide. They can no longer blame Covid.

Open air drug markets, a growing homeless population, and increased crime [have] left many San Francisco neighborhoods in turmoil.

Maybe rebranding would help. Instead of a city, they should call it a zoo. Tourists might come to view the wildlife, provided there is a way to keep them safe from it. Safaris in armored vehicles could make for interesting vacations. Those bold enough to step outside can partake of the Doom Loop Walking Tour.

New York State isn’t the only liberal jurisdiction that has escalated the tactic of handing out free money. As usual, San Francisco is among the leaders in the race to ruin:

Mayor London Breed … and Supervisor Matt Dorsey penned a bill called “Cash Not Drugs” which proposes handing out $100, in the form of a gift card or electronic benefit transfer, to some welfare recipients for each negative drug test they complete a week, they announced Monday.

It is the constant infusion of other people’s money that enables their irresponsible drug-oriented lifestyle in the first place.

This is the brightest idea since San Francisco decided to pay criminals $300+/month not to shoot people.

Where Democrat anarchotyranny has been established as in San Francisco, running a business is challenging:

Cigarettes Cheaper, a family-owned small business […] has been broken into and ransacked on four different occasions, according to Bashir, the store’s owner. …

“How many times do we have to go through this? I get it (if it’s) once or twice, but it just continues to happen,” Bashir said. “I think we’re at the verge to just completely close our shop because the profit is not that great. All we’re trying to do is maintain. Everything’s expensive. The rent is up, employee (costs) are high, and on top, (we have) to deal with this.”

Welcome to California now that Democrats have consolidated control.

The store is walled with interior fencing because of previous break-ins, but Bashier said the thieves used a car to ram through it […]

Disposable cars are easy to come by in California. Just steal one. In the name of Critical Race Theory, police have been marginalized to the point of irrelevance.

Costs are estimated to be in the tens of thousands from stolen items […] and the damage to the storefront.

Another benefit of living in Gavin Newsom Land:

“There’s no insurance. State Farm has completely kicked us out because they call the state of California a hot spot,” Bashir said. “I don’t blame them because they’re here for business, not to just continue to give you money. So, there’s chaos going on here (and) they cancelled everybody’s policy. They won’t give insurance because they know the outcome.”

See here for more on State Farm giving up on the erstwhile Golden State.

The police did chase the criminals. But then they crashed into a police car and ran away. At last word, no arrests had been made.

Municipal bureaurats realized Bashir had not been sufficiently punished for trying to run a business, so…

Want to turn the whole country into this? Vote Democrat.

Our Marxist future continues to unfold in San Francisco. Now that businesses have been driven out because shoplifting is effectively legal there, the next logical step is free food markets:

San Francisco opened its first $5.5 million free food “market”, where approved residents can show a benefits eligibility card, put what they want in their carts, check out to keep track of outgoing inventory, and leave without paying.

The Bayview-Hunters Point facility aims to be a food pantry alternative that replicates the supermarket experience in an area where many grocery stores have come but few have remained due to high crime.

Authorities say this is necessary because food stamps do not provide enough free food due to inflation. The inflation is mainly driven by government spending.

The 4000-square foot District 10 Market is the first of San Francisco’s food empowerment “markets” funded by the San Francisco’s Human Services Agency.

That is, funded by taxpayers who have not yet escaped the area. When the entire state has been emptied of taxpayers, California will get a federal bailout — if the whole country has not followed it down the tubes by then.

Speaking of jurisdictions going down the tubes, Chicago’s ultramoonbat mayor has called for government grocery stores. If you like the DMV, you’ll love relying on leftist bureaucrats for food.

If moonbats are insane enough to give free needles to drug fiends, why not provide free vodka shots to drunken bums? No really:

San Francisco is handing out bottles of beer, glasses of wine and shots of vodka to homeless alcoholics – and spending $5m a year on the program.

It’s okay; it’s all supervised by Experts:

The alcoholic drinks are served by nurses as part of the city’s ‘managed alcohol program’, which has been running for four years, as a way of taking care of vulnerable homeless people.

No reason to be stingy; taxpayers have plenty of money:

Nurses assess patients and typically serve them the equivalent of 1-2 drinks between three and four times a day — handing out either 1.7 ounces of vodka or liquor (about a shot), 5 ounces of wine (1 glass) or 12 ounces of beer – about three-quarters of a pint.

Next will be taxpayer-funded kiddy porn for vulnerable pedophiles.

Democrats seem to believe they will be safe from the chaos they inflict on the rest of us. But as civilization is systematically dismantled to advance the liberal agenda, everyone becomes vulnerable — even prominent party members like California congresscritter/senate candidate Adam Schiff:

Schiff faced a rude welcome in San Francisco as he was reportedly a victim of a carjacking just hours before a campaign dinner. Thieves broke into his car parked in a downtown garage, stealing his bags, leaving Schiff to attend the event in shirt sleeves and a hiking vest.

No wonder Schiff evidently does not live in the state he represents.

Despite the setback, Schiff thanked supporter Joe Cotchett at the ritzy dinner in Burlingame, where he was commended for his resilience by Cotchett.

What a tough guy Adam Schiff is. Like most representatives of the liberal establishment, he looks like he is made out of suet. But without grit, he would have lacked the fortitude to continue clinging to the Trump Russia collusion hoax after everyone knew it was a lie.

Don’t worry, his fellow Dems have turned their attention to getting the crime wave they caused under control:

San Francisco Mayor London Breed is proposing various efforts to combat high crime rates, homelessness, and public drug use in the city. These initiatives aim to address the root causes of these issues…

By addressing the root causes of crime and social instability, communities can work towards creating safer and more inclusive environments for all residents.

In other words, liberals will continue to worsen the problem by financing and otherwise enabling the bums and drug fiends who have overrun leftist epicenters like San Franfreakshow.

Hard to imagine a story more illustrative of the consequences of putting liberals in charge than this one about the Mecca of Moonbattery pouring gargantuan amounts of sewage into San Francisco Bay:

San Francisco has long been at the forefront of all things progressive: it was one of the first locales to begin decriminalizing marijuana, which of course devolved into the druggie free-for-all it now is; home to pederasts like Harvey Milk, the LGBTQ++ community, no matter how obscene (Folsom Street Fair) is always celebrated; it’s home to social programs like GIFT, which isn’t just ordinary welfare, but a handout that can pay out as much as $21,600 per enrollee and is exclusively for “trans” people; and the city has an official “Poop Patrol” department to clean up all the human fecal matter plopped around the sidewalks thanks to the sizable vagrant population.

And predictably, all that progressivism only reaps total destruction, coming back to bite the city in the rear-end in grand fashion; a longstanding nonprofit committed to the environmental health of the bay filed a lawsuit against the city’s utility commission for 1.2 billion gallons per year of sewage and trash-filled runoff flowing into the San Francisco Bay.

The filth flowing out of San Franfreakshow is described to be rich in “fecal matter, plastics, syringes, and condoms,” as you might expect.

The same sanctimonious moonbats who run this seeping pustule of political correctness won’t let people have gas furnaces and water heaters, on the grounds that they are allegedly offensive to the environment.

Down the Left Coast, we see a similar phenomenon in Los Angeles, which has been flooding the country with comparable quantities of sewage via Tinseltown.

The moonbattery-induced collapse of the erstwhile Golden State and specifically formerly beautiful San Francisco can be seen all the way from the other side of the Bamboo Curtain:

The beleaguered California city has been labelled a ‘total failure’ by some China-based outlets as the city prepares to host Chinese President Xi Jinping next week.

Once associated with the gold rush and scenic views, San Francisco is now known for producing moonbats like Nancy Pelosi and mayors Gavin Newsom, Dianne Feinstein, and London Breed.

[Chinese] headlines include the phrases ‘garbage city, ‘ruined city’ and ‘fallen city’, as crippling drug issues and widespread homeless problems continue to cause problems for the city.

The ChiComs are keeping tabs on American decline. They are aware of the Democrat Death Spiral:

Another headline from the Chinese site Phoenix also said the city had fallen into a ‘death cycle’.

Our communist adversaries chuckle that San Francisco collapsed into decay “as the Democrats advanced their radical agenda.”

ChiComs aren’t the only ones to notice this ship sinking under the weight of moonbattery. As public order disintegrates and the population degenerates into mobs of looters, retailers head for the lifeboats:

Over the past year, dozens of high profile retailers announced they would be vacating the downtown area of the city.

For example,

Retail stalwart Old Navy announced they would be shuttering their flagship store in the area last month, becoming the latest chain to exit the city.

Nordstrom also announced they would be closing all of their locations in the city.

According to leftists, it doesn’t matter that communism has failed spectacularly everywhere it has been imposed, because in America it will be different. Sure enough: in the hands of suet-soft politically correct liberals, American communism will be so bad that other communist regimes will laugh at it. They are laughing already.
