MACDONALD: Dem Mayor Blames Progressive Values

October 15, 2026October 13, 2026 Steve MacDonald

I’m not sure this is good politics in a city that’s 137.5 percent Democrat voters, but if he’s being honest, you have to respect that. I mean, we got so entrapped in our progressive values and talking about progressivism that we weren’t taking stock of what was happening on our streets. We had 810 people … Read more

MACDONALD: Are They Saying Blacks Steal Bikes?

July 16, 2026July 16, 2026 Steve MacDonald

One of the underappreciated nuances of the anti-racism movement (the pro-white racism is blatant, not nuanced) is how everything that movements like BLM stand on assumes blacks are criminals. Calm down. I understand that the point they are trying to sell is that blacks get framed, and if there were fewer cops, they’d be less … Read more

MACDONALD: San Fran Coffee Chain Gets Rid of Pride Flags, Guess Why?

April 16, 2026April 15, 2026 Steve MacDonald

San Francisco was a gay mecca before gay marriage was even a thing, and way before LGBT culture invaded every television program, ad, play, sidewalk, and public school. It’s literally everywhere and impossible to avoid unless you live in a Muslim American Enclave or an Arab majority nation. TO be clear, most Americans couldn’t care … Read more

San Francisco Pretends “Twitter” Leaving is a Good Thing

August 26, 2024 Steve MacDonald

It is no secret that Elon Musk is packing his California bags and moving to Texas. From parental rights infringements to taxes to drug users blocking the parking garage exit such that he can leave X in San Fran, he’s had it. Everyone to the exits. Last month, Musk, who bought Twitter in 2022, announced … Read more

Night Cap: If You Needed More Proof That San Francisco is Run by Idiots …

April 15, 2024 Steve MacDonald

Large US Cities have been plagued by a host of problems I’ve repeatedly proven can be solved if residents stop voting for Democrats. Crime, homelessness, systemic mismanagement, and, lately, a rise in business closures and departures are all directly connected to government policy decisions.

London Breed is Falling Down, Falling Down …

December 21, 2023 Steve MacDonald

San Francisco Mayor London Breed has done the Dems in the Sh!tty by the Bay a solid without meaning to. She has exposed her Party for what it is. They will over-promise. They will run out of other people’s money. Things will have to be cut.

The Art Of The “Steal”

November 19, 2023 Ray Cardello

One thing is painfully evident after Chinese President Xi’s visit to San Francisco. Xi read Donald Trump’s best-selling book, and Joe Biden awaits the movie.

What Should Be On The List Of Topics With Xi

November 15, 2023 Ray Cardello

Chinese President Xi Jinping supposedly has not spoken to President Joe Biden since the Spy Balloon incident in February. This seems odd for a relationship that Biden calls one of his strongest. Maybe Joe measures the quality of relationships by the deposits to the Biden family bank accounts.

The Left’s Culture of Crime Continues to “Target” Retailers

September 28, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Over the summer, Target made a show of pulling back its controversial Transgender collection. They claimed it was to protect worker and customer safety. That was a cover story to hide a marketing stumble, but Target still has safety concerns, forcing it to close nine stores.

I Did NOT Have This On My Bingo Card: Democrat Mayor Wants To “Get Rid Of Most Taxes”

July 29, 2023 Skip

How many times do you hear a Democrat happily say “Sure, we can deep-six that tax. And do you want to kill another one?”. PERHAPS if they are looking to horse trade for something more valuable but only “if”. So is San Francisco’s Democrat Mayor London Breed starting to see the wisdom of letting people … Read more

May 5, 2023 Ray Cardello

Nordstrom announced on Wednesday that they would close their two stores in San Francisco after 35 years of serving the fashion needs and wants of the Bay Area. There have been twenty significant retailers that have closed up shop in San Francisco since

San Francisco Drops Ban After They Discover No One Cares

May 4, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Democrat-run plantations with names like California or San Francisco have this notion that they have influence outside their political boundaries. They can’t help but try to project power to get their way in places where no one would ever elect them to public office.

Tucker Carlson - Twitter news update screen grab

What the Tuck? Word War III

April 29, 2023 Aaron Warner

Upon hearing Fox News Network was “parting ways” with Tucker Carlson, the shock was sudden but the surprise was short-lived. We are living in a day and time when virtually every sacred cow in America and the institutions they represent are being thoroughly savaged.

Dem City Crime Forces Whole Foods To Close Flagship Store in San Francisco

April 14, 2023 Steve MacDonald

I wonder what homicide Detective Mike Stone and his upstart partner Inspector Steve Keller would think of 21st-century life on The Streets of San Francisco. The characters would be appalled. So are most retailers.

The Question is Not Can We Afford Reparations

March 21, 2023 Ray Cardello

San Francisco is the first major American city to consider a plan to pay reparations to black descendants of slaves. Per the WOKE, I cannot use the term “slave” as that is considered dehumanizing.

Irony Alert: CNN Crew Robbed in San Francisco While Doing a Story About Crime in San Francisco

March 22, 2023March 21, 2023 Steve MacDonald

From the too funny not to report files. A CNN Crew was at City Hall in San Francisco working on a story about voter discontent over rising street crime. While doing their report, someone did a smash-and-grab on their rental car.

Reality Is Starting to Bite HARD on San Francisco’s “Sanctuary City” Proclamation

February 18, 2023 Skip

It’s easy to virtue signal highly when the cost is so low; when the rubber hits the road, however, not so much. Take sanctuary cities run by Democrats (or States or towns or whatever) who have LOUDLY proclaimed that illegal aliens are welcome.

Liberal San Francisco Successfully Recalls Soft on Crime (Soros?) DA Chesa Boudin

June 9, 2022 Steve MacDonald

This does not bode well for the Democrats and their “defund the police,” soft on crime policies. One of those progressive DAs who got elected (most likely with George Soros money) just got kicked out of office. In San Franciso!

Another Eatery Exposing Liberal Lunacy

December 6, 2021 Peter Lemiska

As we watch the violence and unabated crime spreading like cancer across our country, it’s hard to believe that so many on the left still embrace the lunatic, anti-police hysteria causing it. But sfgate.com recently reported on another case of liberal ideology replacing common sense.
