IT IS A SHAME THAT AN EGOISTICAL MANIAC IS CALLING THE SHOTS - THE UNITED STATES SLOWLY BUT SURELY IS IN DIRE STRAITS - WHERE ARE THE EDUCATED LEADERS - GOOD LEADERS THAT KNOW THE WAY, SHOW THE WAY, AND GO THE WAY?

 




Andrew Jackson was a racist.


Donald Trump was born a loser - who, to his credit, is widely known to declare bankruptcy - six times if not more.

This utter nonsense we have a deal is a bluff -  that Donald brags about - kicking the can down the street. 

The Main Media should not give Donald Trump press time - he must be relegated to the clowns - the man is an egotistical maniac and chronic narcissist.

This nonsense about not getting permission from Congress to attack Iran and Venezuela, and dreaming of attacking Greenland and Cuba, clearly speaks about an unhinged autocrat.

Donald Trump and Netanyahu are feuding, and this is what happens when autocrats each think they are better than one another - foolishness that leads to pandemonium.

American citizens must stand united, and we do not have to back Israel with military assets - America is now considered responsible for crimes against humanity - how many Palestinian and Lebanese children, innocent women and men - are we going to permit Israel to maim, murder, and kill?

Israel now is totally alone when it comes to a decision that Iran has to make - this nonsense of keeping the Straits of Hormuz open - on and on - clearly speaks of utter pandemonium - Donald Trump lying every day - trying to find an off-ramp, and it is now too late.

Most Israelis do not approve of Netanyahu - much like Donald Trump, both are felons - and both are waiting for their turn to appear before their respective courts - indicated - and both need to spend a long time behind bars.

The main reason Donald Trump created this mess attacking Iran with Israel was to distract us from the real issues - the 34-count indictment and the many issues, including the dark cloud - the Epstein shady case.

Thousands of young girls were used as Fodder. Most of these vultures were white men who, for decades, preyed on the underage girls, ruined their lives, and today we have the empirical data: Donald Trump and his minions are distracting us every single day.

We have the privileged folks, the one percent, that control ninety-five percent of our Economy- these billionaires- do not give a damn about the hardworking citizens of the United States, let alone the immigrants, many who are not documented.

This fake Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is a bluff - it means nothing at all. It is an agenda - just to keep each side talking - more like kicking the can down the street.

The last truce took two years - thousands of pages - addressing every aspect, and all this takes time.

Right now we have no experts linked to the talks - we have a proxy, a General from Pakistan - and Donald will say Turkey and some more proxies - we really do not know what is happening - at this time it will take many years.

In the interim, our Economy is tanking, and Donald gives a hoot - we have a deranged person talking to himself - selfish to the core - a narcissist - the worst ever.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) will never accept bowing to Donald Trump and his minions. They consider Donald and his minions devils. 

More and more, we see the Middle Class is eroding - the middle class is the spine of the Economy - and for the first time in decades we are all struggling to make a living.

Donald Trump and his minions are corrupt - they have no empathy - they have no conscience, they have no standards - they only think about themselves.

Our Elders are hurting, and no one wants to help them and love them even as they struggle to live - and Donald Trump has messed the hope they had - to enjoy their last days - more golden days - their hopes crashed, and no one worth the salt to help them - in their last days.

These are the heroes that went to war - World War II - and brought about democracy - the democracy today that has been neutralized by Donald Trump and his thugs.

Our youth and young adults - see and hear all the nonsense - Donald Trump raking in billions - his family doing the same - the Emoluments Act thrown to the wind.

Our universities are targeted - students from around the world - the best minds - no one wants to study in our universities - Donald Trump, who is not educated on issues - a liar, a felon, a good-for-nothing - person - a disgrace to the world.

We once had the best research centers; no more - Donald Trump has cut off resources for the research centers.

The scientists no longer want to stay here in the United States - they head for Germany, France, Italy - many other countries.

Including the Middle East, which provides them with the best amenities and facilities to do research, and these countries cannot imagine how foolish Donald Trump and his minions are.

For goodness sake, why would anyone target Public Broadcast Services (PBS) -  millions improved their lives - and those decent and hardworking were educated by PBS - filtering the most important information and spreading the information - so that we all could better ourselves.

Donald Trump is an atheist - a narcissist - an egotistical maniac - the Republicans who support him must be ashamed of themselves - and the Republicans will suffer in November and learn a lesson - they will fall  - flat on their face.

Our Constitution must be kept sound - the experiment - a concept has played its role. Time to amend the rights of the Executive Branch; too many rights - dubious in nature - have been used, and harm has been done to the Constitution.

Congress has failed us - and by partisanship, no more plays a role in bringing about solutions and consensus.

More and more, the democrats and Republicans hate one another- dog-eat-dog. 

The leaders of the two parties, as it stands today, have no spine, and it is a shame trillions of dollars are accumulated - a debt future generations will suffer.

Donald Trump is the worst so-called President of the United States.

Recently, Donald Trump went to the G-7. 

No leader attending that meeting respects the man - past presidents from the United States were respected. When the President is shunned, Americans, too, suffer. 

Donald Trump has no shame - all he cares about is himself - a sordid character that should fade into oblivion.







The United States is an area of 3,707,312.8 square miles - each and every inch - cared for for thousands of years by the indigenous tribes - not the White - who landed on Turtle Island to seek refuge and a better Life.






Turtle Island is a blessed land now with a population of about three hundred and forty-three million - as I said, the land belongs to the indigenous tribes - who lived here for over twenty thousand years.

There is NO single document where land was given or handed over to the Whites who stole the land - and assume all is well.

It is a shame as the United States celebrates its two hundred and fifty years - has a Constitution - an experiment - that at the moment has failed by Donald Trump abusing the laws and causing pandemonium of the worst order.

It is a shame that the United States has disdain for the indigenous tribes - thousands of indigenous people raped and killed - in recent years.

Our infants, children, youth, young adults, our women and men, our beloved Elders - those with compromised health - are all suffering.

Donald Trump is a narcissist and one of a kind at that, much like Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin - but also an idiot who is not educated on issues. 

Donald Trump is with Putin, and that says it all - the rest of us are shocked how the Republicans keep favoring Donald Trump - time for these lackeys to make up their mind - and respect our United States Constitution.

Our U.S. farmers are suffering, and Donald Trump keeps on lying.

It is now costing the taxpayers $600,000 to build the East Wing of the White House - at first Donald Trump said he would pay for it - stressing several times the United States taxpayers would not pay a cent. What a chronic liar of the first order.

There is NO nuclear deal - ever heard of a deal - a one-page Memorandum of Understanding - that deals with an important issue, such as negotiating with Iran, that took two years to sign the last deal, which the dumb ass Donald Trump declared null and void.

Americans are not ignorant - Donald Trump - our patience is running out - we have made the laughing stock of the entire world - all Donald Trump talks about is himself - and he looks one in the eye and lies. 

The Iran issue will take years - and I pray and hope we do not use military assets and soldiers - waste billions of taxpayers' money and put our United States soldiers, women, and men in harm's way.

Donald Trump and his family have avoided serving our country - most of them are a disgrace to humanity - using Donald Trump to amass billions. Donald Trump failed to abide by the Emoluments Act.






The Statue of Liberty invites immigrants to come to our shores and contribute their best to the United States.

Donald Trump and the authors of Project 2025 - the likes of Stephen Miller and Russel Vought - have drawn plans to wipe out immigrants - and are encouraging Whites to come and live here on Turtle Island.

Many of the tactics that Adolf Hitler used in the 1930s are being used by the minions who follow Donald Trump, who is a racist.

We must stop giving up - stand up and defend those that need help most. 

The "NO KING " protests have made a big difference; those monitoring ICE have, too. 

Standing united and doing what is right is the right course.











We cannot brush aside Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion.

All of us who are not privileged want an opportunity to contribute to Turtle Island; we honor and respect the indigenous tribes.

We can study DNA, link it to indigenous people, and make our point.

We can talk about the Aztecs, the Mayans, and DNA to make our point.

We can mention the Pyramids of Egypt and make our point.

It is time we confront those who demote our military officers - men and women - who are not privileged and white - and let go - many traumatized - just because of the color of their skin.





The Executive Branch, at this time, thinks it can do as it pleases.

The other two branches, the Judicial and Legislative, have been compromised; each is separate but equal - not so at this time - a felon who belongs to the Executive acts as a thug.

We cannot and must not tolerate this utter nonsense.

Donald Trump has failed us all - he has given Iran every opportunity to be in the cockpit and in charge of the situation - in Iran and over the Straits of Hormuz.

Donald Trump has taken an off-ramp so that he does not have to deal with the real issues. Just as most cowards do - he has created a firewall between himself - selfish as he is - and to hell with the citizens of the United States.

The Qataris, the Omanis, Pakistan all had a role to play - and there will be $300 billion - for Iran to play with - and all this and more - has not been revealed to the citizens of the United States.

Israel does not care to work with us - time and time again - Israel keeps disturbing, favoring pandemonium.

Bombing Lebanon and challenging Hezbollah - in fact, some days ago Hezbollah used drones and missiles and pushed the Israeli military back.

Forcing Israel to resort to helicopters - and such skirmishes will happen from time to time. Donald Trump has got us in a mess.

The White House has become a circus - the East Side demolished without permission.

The thug is making hay while the sun shines - his family - raking in billions worldwide. 

The countries that once respected us - think nothing much of us. 

Remember, we, the United States, cared for human beings - worldwide - USAID. 

We must not allow one "thug" to dismantle law and order; law and order must prevail. 

America was always great - we must remember that.

Housing market in the Bay Area at a all time low - more in San Francisco - LENNAR trying to use " Land Banking " to make its exit.

Housing market in the Bay Area at a all time low - more in San Francisco. That is the building of brand new homes. No one has the money to buy new homes - and what is more the banks are not loaning - much.


Corrupt Big Developers like - LENNAR using "Land Banking" as viable ploy - are trying to make an exit.


The recent revelations linked to our economy show that unemployment nation wide is about 9% percent - but, really when you figure in - those that have given up looking for work - it is more 20%.


All over the Nation temporary jobs with no benefits are counted as some success.


Very few, if none career jobs, with good benefits are made available - pointing to  a recession that it taking root. It is the career jobs, forty hour a week jobs with full benefits that create the Middle Class and bring progress to any Nation - worth its salt.


It does not help that the recent debacle - the so called "debt ceiling" fiasco - has further exposed our economy to adverse impacts - some national but more international.


The Chinese that dump their inferior good are laughing at us - wait until we declare - world bankruptcy - that time is coming.


Housing statistics reveal no movement - and has hit the Bay Area and San Francisco badly.


LENNAR, a Rouge Developer, that has invested some - is using it dubious, evil "Land Banking" stance - to jump ship. It does not help that the SF Redevelopment Agency that kept Lennar afloat - has lost all funding.


The SF Redevelopment Agency is on its way out - and soon its fade and disappears the better. Good riddance of very bad rubbish.


For once the Governor of California did the right thing. I thank him for posting one of my articles on SF Redevelopment and its machinations - on the Governor's - home page.


" No good will ever come at Hunters Point" I said this in public and in writing a long, long time ago.  I stand by my statement.


At Hunters Point and the Candlestick Point - 10,500 homes are proposed to be built - this  project is full of loop holes.


The Environmental Impact Report (EIR) has a faulty Transportation Document, failed to respect the Ohlone, and underestimated Cumulative Impacts that are the folly of most EIR - rushed and cooked up


One critical and pertinent factor that is not discussed is the Environmental Impact Report and that section pertaining to Cultural Resources - "desecration" and the many Shellmounds.


Ohlone remains have been scattered over a large area mostly at Hunters Point Naval Shipyard - where once stood two hills that were demolished - contain Ohlone remains.


The remains together with the dirt - spread over a large area - to fill in the wet lands.


This area is prone to liquefaction and flooding but as I said; unless restitution, and other critical spiritual and healing processes are put in place - " no good will come at Hunters Point".


I have studied this issue more - ever since the Muwekma Ohlone exercised its right of First Refusal in 1991. The U.S. Navy stopped operations in 1974. Took over the land under eminent domain in 1850.


Now, other entities purporting to be Native Americans are trying to usurp the hospitality of the Muwekma Ohone and gain some access - such ploys will lead to utter confusion and ciaos. 


The present foreclosure statistics are very high and not far from San Francisco thousands of homes are in foreclosure and have been for the last three year and more.


In San Francisco we have over 30,000 homes vacant.
Thousands in foreclosure.


Our population is about 811,000 and every month - thousands are leaving San Francisco. Mostly, families with children - father, mother, and children - straight families.


The SF Board of Supervisors are pandering to Big Developers and they all lost on Lennar and its ploys and machinations.


The SF Board of Supervisors did not listen to the Bayview community, voted against our children who were poisoned, and today are looked at by the constituents of San Francisco - as worthless - spineless and inept.


It does no help that the interim Mayor Ed Lee now wants to run for Mayor. The only reason because his sponsors are folks that are in the pocket of Big Developers and the Pacific Heights Mafia.


Ed Lee will not succeed. When I mean succeed - it is not the short term but the long term - result.


The entire Hunters Point Naval Shipyard and Candlestick Point - some 800 acres must be converted to wet-lands.


Let us for once restore what once was pristine - the concrete jungle  must come to an end. The last frontier saved.


Big Developers must be given notice be it on Hunters Point, Candlestick Point, or places like Lake Merced where high density, and other cockeyed planning - is not appreciated.


The bogus spin by the media about; " carbon foot print" and other "green acronyms" are just that - hot air that means less to those that are practical and spiritual.


This land all of it belongs the Native Americans. It was stolen by the "strangers".


18 treaties signed by the Native Americans and those with forked tongues were not ratified. Today, it is a shame that Native Americans still linger in Reservation - second class citizens in their own land - Turtle Island.


Those in power today, mostly corrupt and spiritually bankrupt folks - do not like to hear about the above face.


Recently immigrants mostly from China do not know the history of their own community - the building of the railway and other atrocities committed on their own people. All they focus on is money and greed.


Add to this most immigrants from China do not care to learn about the Native American history of California and the atrocities perpetrated on the Native Americans by Whites. A reality check is in order.


The spiritually bankrupt have to reminded to be spiritual - because only then they can account for their ill doings.


Today, we see this Nation - the United States of America sinking.


The Nation is also known as Turtle Island by those that lived here for thousands of years and took care of the land. The shamans, the spiritual leaders of the Native Americans have already spoken. No good will come to those that are evil and speak with fork tongues.


The Hopis for example have very clear predictions. But, those that do not want to be bothered - must be left to perish - after all they are doing the devil's work. Among them, the SF Board of Supervisor that partner, take money to fill their campaign coffers - from Big Developers.


It is a paradox that those that killed the buffalo, cut the red wood trees, polluted the lakes, the streams, the rivers. Built the concrete jungle now are devising terms like Carbon Footprint and other devious terms - to suit their own needs. The will all fail.


Strange they are the ones that polluted and then want to find remedies for their own inflicted cancers.


San Francisco already has too many homes.


When the Big One strikes soon - thousands of homes in the Avenues, the Richmond District - will fall like match sticks - and drown in the liquefaction - process.


The same will happen to China Town and in areas that the SF Building Inspection and the SF Planning Department - talks about and cannot do much about - in terms of rehabilitation, shoring, and making homes seismically - safe.


Such are the hypocrites that talk the talk but cannot walk the walk. The SF Board of Supervisors are busy about mundane stuff - but they do not care much on issues linked with Quality of Life.


For the next ten years - only a FOOL would waste investing money in "high density" complexes - and that includes the TranBay Project - that will fall prey to fiscal woes.


So, will the Central Subway, and the High Speed rail project.


The SF Public Utilities Commission will soon realize it will cost more when it comes to the the Sewer System Improvement Project.


This City must not approve the Billions in Bond Measure - if it does so - this City and County of San Francisco will follow the path of Vellejo and other bankrupt cities - Nation wide.


This all time low housing market is the best thing going for many - and soon rental units will be - premium. 


Time to investigate the Academy of Art University that has taken over hundreds of buildings and converted rental units - to student housing - taking away thousands of "affordable rental housing" form the market. All with permits from the SF Planning Department and Department of Building Inspection. 


Of course our SF Planning knows this but can do nothing much. Under the old SF Planning Zoning Director - Larry Badiner - he saw this but did not do anything. He was fired for distributing pornographic material while working on his City job. Go figure!


Our past Mayors were pussyfooting on affordable housing issues, more Gavin Newsom.


Our interim Mayor - one worse then the other - when it comes to such issues.


Time to focus on wetlands and Open Space.


Time to send the Big Developers - especially the rogue big developers like Lennar -  out of town - while the going is good.
