Gavin Newsom Clears Out the Homeless from San Francisco -- Only For a Visit from His Benefactor, President Xi of China

They cleared the homeless out of San Francisco for two days, to beautify it for their Chinese communist patrons.

Once the Chinese leave, the homeless will be back shitting on the street within a half hour.

Because to hell with American citizens.

San Francisco has undertaken a significant effort to glam up streets ahead of a vital U.S.-China summit next week, including the removal of homeless camps around the city.

Newsom admits he's only doing this for foreign patrons.

"I know folks are saying, 'Oh they're just cleaning up this place because all those fancy leaders are coming to town.' That's true, because it's true -- but it's also true for months and months and months before APEC [Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit], we've been having conversations," California Gov. Gavin Newsom said Friday at the unveiling of a new program to plant trees in urban neighborhoods.

You talked about moving the homeless out for months, in anticipation of a visit from your Chinese paymasters. You only did it when they came.

And you will let the homeless back in as soon as Xi is on his way back to China.

KTVU noted that the efforts to clean the city have created "noticeable" cleanliness to the streets but also far fewer homeless encampments on major thoroughfares.
...

Peskin pointed to the influx of people and personnel during previous conferences at times of trouble for the city that helped kickstart economic activity, but to make that impression, the city has undertaken an incredible beautification project, which has included shifting the significant homeless population that has flooded into the city.
"They've cleared out the tents that were near the Moscone Center on Howard Street, which tells me the city had the capability to do this all along -- instead they just do the bare minimum, community activist Ricci Lee Wynne told The New York Post.
"Once APEC is gone, police presence will start to simmer down again, the tents will return, and it will slowly flare up again," Lee said. "What we need is a permanent solution."

He's running for president, and he'll soon be bragging, "I was the man who got the herds of homeless drug addicts to stop shitting in the streets for forty-eight hours." If he can sharpen that up, he'll put it on a bumper sticker.

They do this at a small scale semi-routinely, or at least did. When major conventions went to Moscone, they'd clear the area right aound the convention center and between Moscone and a couple of the very close nearby hotels and then spray down the sidewalks. Pay a couple of the more sane bums to sweep up during the event. The vagrants are right back as soon as the convention packs up.

My company used to hold a conference there. After the "pandemic response," they went back. After the first conference following the resumption, our customers essentially told us, "put this conference in Las Vegas or Orlando and we'll come back. If this event is still in San Francisco next year, we won't be returning. This place is unacceptable."

We're not the only ones. San Francisco recently poured about half a billion dollars into Moscone to renovate, update and upgrade the venue and it got done just as the world ended. A massive and expensive refurbishment at the same time that the city went to pot and now nobody wants to go there.

The picture does indeed show it in a locker. So if they couldn't narrow the list of suspects below 500, that means:

1) The locker was not locked, or
2) There are 500 people who potentially held a key to that particular locker.

120 Newsom for President.

Pros: Deep Party insider, rich, decent looking, good teeth and hair, prominent political family and connections, hails from the center of the Big Tech panopticon.

Cons: White, male, straight, plenty of dirty laundry, from the state most hated by the American interior.

I'm skeptical of Newsom or any candidate from California. Yes, elections are dirty but Californians don't understand just how much the state and its politics are despised in the interior. My bet remains that it will be Joe Biden but that if he is somehow removed from the ticket, it will be Whitmer.

The city is scrambling to assess the safety of the roadway and repair the damage caused by a raging fire at a storage yard early Saturday that spread under the freeway to ignite a second storage facility.

147 Montec, a lot of the time it is other drugs that are laced with fentanyl to make them stronger - people are not knowingly or intentionally taking fentanyl. This causes overdoses , either because the pill was laced with too much fentanyl or the person takes two or more drugs and with both containing fentanyl.

Here in Colorado they warn that at least 60% of illegal drugs contain fentanyl. There are teens/people in their 20’s who are offered an adder Al or other prescription type drug by a friend, not knowing it’s from a dealer, and die. Yes, it’s stupid to do that, but the fentanyl deaths are climbing every year - this is greater than the typical drug addiction problems we’ve seen in the past.

Posted by: Deplorable Jay Guevara at November 13, 2023 04:11 PM (MO4EG)

Prolly put them in a safe place until they can bus them back to San Fran. Homelessness is a huge business in California. Money is being thrown around/at the homeless like you cannot believe. Nobody knows where it is coming from, but someone is profiting, big time, on keeping homeless camps stocked full of humans. These camps are springing up in nice cities, too, in California. They have well-paid security guards, and refrigerators stocked with provisions for the 'guests'.

My bet remains that it will be Joe Biden but that if he is somehow removed from the ticket, it will be Whitmer.

The leftist smart set is in full blown panic over Biden. You can hear it on CNN and MSNBC and read it all over Twitter. They honestly think Joe is going to lose to Trump unless there is some sort of intervention. Some are even suggesting he run a "new" kind of campaign where he basically runs his entire campaign from the White House ignoring that he ran his first campaign entirely from his basement.

Comer is starting his blizzard of subpoenas and if the testimony shows even half of the corruption we know exists with the Biden crime family they are in deep doo doo. Even if they somehow pull off another massive cheating effort very few people will believe he won legitimately. I doubt the country would survive.

I mentioned the Nate Silver article in a previous thread.

Politico’s Jonathan Martin does have inside knowledge, though — he’s one of the more well-sourced reporters in the business. So when he wrote the following paragraph this morning, it set off my internal alarm bells:

That’s in part for reasons Biden refuses to accept: his capacity to do the job. The oldest president in history when he first took the oath, Biden will not be able to govern and campaign in the manner of previous incumbents. He simply does not have the capacity to do it, and his staff doesn’t trust him to even try, as they make clear by blocking him from the press...

OK, you get a prize. Figure it out later.

No, Iger is not related to Robert Maxwell (or....is he?). But yeah, naming his SON after him is...interesting.

And fun for movie fans....At the "Christmas Party" scene in "Eyes Wide Shut", there is a very brief moment when Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman walk through the party, and "body doubles" of Jeffery Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell pass across the camera in the background. This movie was made in 1997.
Kind of gives you a chill when you see it...it's only for a second.

Ballots with an interesting story, delivered to a location where no one wanted to sign for them, so the driver left them sitting on the dock.

In 2022, the PA Secretary of State illegally sent out 250,000 absentee ballots without requests. It was outright illegal, but since the action had been done, oh well. 250,000 ballots just out in the wild to be captured, cured, and deposited without oversight before being counted without question.

Yes, it will happen again. It will be blatant. It will be obvious. It will be illegal to point it out.

There's a British law that requires public disclosure of film costs, and the number being touted now is based on the numbers filed from last year, before some reshoots and a good chunk of post production was done.

It's going to end up being at least $300 million. Disney is definitely in spin mode, though. This is a disaster.

Oh, and rumors of Captain America 4 put it as new, black Cap against a Trump-like president who tries to steal an election and we get 1/6. Hence, the massive reshoots that are going to happen from Jan-May of next year.

Tinder. See how many people swipe "for" you and you'll have your answer.

If you're a man and your number is zero, then you have no indicia of sexual desirability. If you're a woman and your number is under 5, you have no indicia of sexual desirability.

The marketing push on this movie has been outlandish. $100 million wouldn't be hard to believe at all. The total bill for this turkey is probably going to be between $350 and $400 million. And Disney is likely to haul in maybe $150 million if performance exceeds reasonable expectations (e.g., the movie pulls down $300 million at the box office). It's going to be a loss of at least $200 million, maybe more. Disastrous.

313 This is a gesture of submission and fealty from the governor of China’s new easternmost province to the Emperor. Newsom has toyed with the idea of secession but probably has realised that he wouldbe more likely to succeed if he has a powerful patron.
So it’s a sign that California will not be as fractious as Taiwan, and an assurance that whatever executive position Newsom may hold in the future, the Emperor can be assured that Newsom will keep China’s interests as his top priority

As I understand, women reject 80% of men as being "below average desirability".

A zero (for a man) actually isn't a good indication of desirability. You could be a 7 (as a man) and still get a 0, because 0-7 all get rejected.

It'll end up higher than that, but not enough.

And this is the second one for Disney. This year. Indiana Jones 5 probably lost the company at least $150 million (grossed $381 million at the box office, production costs and marketing up around the $400 million range or so).

It'll end up higher than that, but not enough.

And this is the second one for Disney. This year. Indiana Jones 5 probably lost the company at least $150 million (grossed $381 million at the box office, production costs and marketing up around the $400 million range or so).

Disney has lots of money to piss away but failures of this magnitude cannot be sustained.

I imagine they will work shenanigans with streaming and channel revenues to shift some of that revenue under these movies to lessen the blow. Hide losses under "streaming development" or something.

Streaming financials are all so suspect that they should honestly be subject to fraud investigations at the highest levels, even while Disney announced losses every quarter.

375 This is a gesture of submission and fealty from the governor of China’s new easternmost province to the Emperor. Newsom has toyed with the idea of secession but probably has realised that he wouldbe more likely to succeed if he has a powerful patron.
So it’s a sign that California will not be as fractious as Taiwan, and an assurance that whatever executive position Newsom may hold in the future, the Emperor can be assured that Newsom will keep China’s interests as his top priority
Posted by: Peter B at November 13, 2023 04:53 PM (0N1a3)

This is more along the lines of my thinking. If Trump (or DeSantis) wins, CA will pull a secessionoid maneuver and give China partial governing rights to keep the outside money rolling in.

It took less than 72 hours for San Francisco to clean up the city when Xi Jinping was coming to visit.

It took even less time for El Paso to clean up the migrant camps when Joe Biden visited the city last January.

Our leaders do not suffer from a crisis of incompetence when it comes to problems in cities and at the border.

They simply choose not to solve them.
