Important Takeaways:
- San Francisco’s Bay Area is transformed into Mad Max dystopia as thousands of jeering fans descend on back-to-back sideshows
- Acrid smoke is greeting San Franciscans on their way into work this morning after another terrifying night of sideshows took Oakland and the waterfront.
- Police refused to intervene and not a single arrest was made among the thousands who risked their lives as cars tore round their city centers in what has become a routine occurrence.
- Onlookers were sent flying as cars plowed into them at one event in Oakland, and a torched Chevy provided a grisly centerpiece to the Embarcadero spectacle as tire smoke reduced visibility to near zero.
- Vehicles and spectators melted away as police eventually arrived with reinforcements but by 3am the action had moved to the intersection of Valencia and Cesar Chavez streets in the Mission District where passengers clung to the vehicles as their drivers struggled maintain control.

Important Takeaways:
- The city of San Francisco has removed the Revolutionary War-era “Appeal to Heaven” flag featuring a pine tree following the controversy with Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito.
- “City parks officials quietly took down the Civic Center ‘Appeal to Heaven’ flag over the weekend, saying a statement to the Chronicle that although it originally signified the ‘quest for American independence,’ it has ‘since been adopted by a different group — one that doesn’t represent the city’s values,’” noted the San Francisco Chronicle.
- As Breitbart News reported recently, Democrats have been calling for Alito to recuse himself in the case against former President Donald Trump after images surfaced of an “Appeal to Heaven” flag waving over his beach house:
- Unable to expand the court with more liberal justices, Democrats are casting doubt on Justice Alito’s ability to remain impartial after the New York Times published two stories showing an upside-down American flag and an Appeal to Heaven flag displayed in Alito’s front yard. The pressure campaign is the latest from left-leaning media outlets and Democrats, who have also targeted conservative Justice Clarence Thomas and similarly demanded his recusal from politically expedient cases.
- “The left claims to uphold norms but violates them by inventing recusal standards to pressure and delegitimize the court. The goal is power, not ethics,” Mark Paoletta, a senior fellow at Center for Renewing America and a top lawyer for the Trump White House, wrote in a rebuttal op-ed in the Wall Street Journal published Wednesday.
- The first story from the Times stirred outrage over an upside-down American flag displayed outside of Alito’s Virginia home in January of 2021 — historically, the American flag is flown upside-down to show a signal of “dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property,” according to U.S. flag code.
- The Appeal to Heaven flag was one of the 18 original flags raised 1964 on Flag Day in San Francisco. It was originally flown from George Washington’s ships during the Revolutionary War and has always held a place of historical significance. However, the flag has since become controversial due to its usage by some segments of the political right.

Important Takeaways:
- Addicts and homeless swarm back to San Francisco streets after Gavin Newsom’s cleanup for Chinese President Xi – as locals learn to do the ‘Poopie Dance’ to avoid stepping on human waste
- They call it ‘The Poopie Dance’ and San Franciscans are having to learn it – and quickly.
- It involves constantly looking straight ahead to find a clean line between where you are on the street and where you want to go.
- Sadly, it’s the reality in parts of the Bay City as the growing homeless population have taken to using the famed streets of San Francisco as one giant open-air toilet.
- Last week during a debate on Fox News with California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis openly mocked the reality by displaying a map delineating feces purportedly found on the city streets.
- ‘California does have freedoms that the other states don’t,’ the republican quipped.
- ‘You have the freedom to defecate in public in California.’
- During the debate, DeSantis claimed: ‘Human feces is now a fact of life, except when a communist dictator comes to town.
- As President Biden flew in to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping, the city worked around-the-clock to clear out encampments, boost shelter placements and deploy ‘night ambassadors’ to keep vagrants away from the area.
- ‘The Monday afterwards, the gates were gone and so were all the police.’ A little bit of residual cleanliness remained but then pretty quickly the mentally disturbed folks, the fent zombies, started making their way back into the neighborhood. And since they’re tolerated, they’d been able to come here unchecked.’
- ‘We’re becoming a third world country. The president should have come down here to see this for himself.’

Important Takeaways:
- Even For San Francisco, This Story Is Almost Too Bizarre to Believe
- One homeless man set up camp across from a Catholic grade school. It would have been a curiosity except for the signs he hung outside of his tent.
- “Free fentanyl 4 new users” and “Meth for stolen items.”
- Joseph Adam Moore served six years for unlawful sex with a 12-year-old girl and was accused of having sex with a 15-year-old girl just a month after getting out of prison. But his probation deal did not include staying away from schools. So he camped directly across from Stella Maris Academy and began to host parties of stoners — much to the neighborhood’s dismay.
- Apparently, the only law Moore is violating is the one about public camping. The cops are hamstrung by about a thousand rules and regulations regarding the treatment of the homeless; they can’t be forced to go anywhere or do anything; they can’t be forced into a mental health facility; they can’t even be forced to go into a shelter.

Important Takeaways:
- Judicial Watch announced today it received 1,719 pages of records from the City of San Francisco showing the city prioritizes tax money for black/Latino transgenders (biological men) in a program which distributes free money to transgender individuals.
- The records show that the taxpayer-funded “Guaranteed Income for Trans People” (GIFT) program also allowed illegal aliens to apply; allowed people who “engage in survival sex trades” to apply; and the use of the funds by participants is virtually unrestricted.
- The mayor’s office stated in a press release that the city will “provide low-income transgender San Franciscans with $1,200 each month, up to 18 months to help address financial insecurity within trans communities.”
- “These disturbing new documents confirm how, among other leftist extremist policies, San Francisco is abusing tax dollars to give cash to individuals based on race and transgender quotas,” stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton

Important Takeaways:
- San Francisco Bay boaters forced to fight off ‘pirates’ as seafaring bandits ravage community
- Residents living on houseboats and yachts in the San Francisco Bay resorted to physically fighting off seafaring bandits who are ransacking their ships, former harbor master Brock de Lappe said.
- Another woman said she rescued a man whose sailboat drifted into the bay without a motor or any way to get back to shore after one of the “pirates,” which is what the resident call the burglars, cut his boat line during an argument.
- “The open shoreline of the (Oakland-Alameda) estuary is littered with sunken wrecks and derelict, end-of-life vessels, and crime has risen to truly intolerable levels,” de Lappe said during a municipal meeting.
- “Multiple vessels have been stolen and ransacked. Victims have had to resort to personally confronting the criminals to recover their property without the benefit of police support. Is this appropriate activity for a 79-year-old senior?”

- Mayor London Breed was one of the first to openly speak out in support of defunding the police.
- During a July 2020 press conference, Breed said: ‘We chose to change how this city and how this country treats our young Black men.’
- Breed announced $120 million would be cut from the police and sheriff’s departments to reinvest in programs that help black and brown communities.

Important Takeaways:
- Crime is so bad in Democrat-run San Francisco that staff at the Nancy Pelosi Federal building have been told to work from home.
- The building, at the intersection of Seventh and Mission Streets, is home to the office of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, as well as the local branches of several federal agencies, including the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the U.S. Department of Labor, and the U.S. Department of Transportation. The area around the building has also become a notorious hotspot for open-air drug dealing.
- According to the San Francisco Chronicle, building workers received a memo penned by Cheryl Campbell — an assistant secretary with the Department of Health and Human Services — on Aug. 4. It advised workers to stay home “for the foreseeable future” because of crime in the area.
- This memo was released just one day after “San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins blamed local judges for exacerbating the city’s drug crisis by releasing people accused of offenses before they can go to trial.”
- Better still, the memo was released on the same day the Biden administration urged federal workers to spend more time at the office.
- Vagrancy is allowed. Open-air drug dealing is allowed. Tent cities in public places are allowed. Criminals are not arrested. If they are, they are released with no bail. If they are convicted, they don’t go to prison. If they go to prison, it’s never for long enough. This mentality not only inspires criminality but it also inspires criminals from outside the city to move to the city. Additionally, San Franciso is a sanctuary city, which means criminal illegal aliens are moving in to sell deadly narcotics like fentanyl.
- If these people want to live in this filth, that’s their choice. Everyone should get what they vote for. But never forget this is a choice, and this choice is destroying every large Democrat-run city in the country.
