NO RELIGION - NO FAITH WITHOUT GOOD ACTIONS - LOVE NOT HATE - EMPATHY NOT MERE COMPASSION - EACH ONE OF US IS UNIQUE - FROM THE DAY WE WERE BORN - OUR JOURNEY WAS DESTINED - OUR HEART IN THE RIGHT PLACE.

POLITICIANS IN SAN FRANCISCO - ON EVERY LEVEL - BALANCING SORDID NEEDS WITH TAX PAYERS' MONEY - THE HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION DEVOID OF ETHICS - THE SF BOARD OF SUPERVISORS - PART OF THE EQUATION.
San Francisco is known nationwide for its abject corruption.
In recent times, it started in 1996 - for those that can discern and are knowledgeable - 1996.
The Mayor was Willie L. Brown Jr. Willie served for two terms - and anointed 2000 so-called administrative assistants - Malia Cohen, London Breed, and Naomi Kelly were all part of that renegade brigade.
This Racial Equity nonsense - trying to address the great divide that started with slavery - indentured labor on the West coast - is something that will backfire.
The seed planted is rotten - the inner circle corrupt to the core - those who dole out the money - to like-minded, very evil entities - are spreading corruption - like a wildfire.
Rember Lucifer did not create the ten commandments.
Corrupt politicians - use taxpayers' money - to fill in their campaign coffers - leaving those who most need help - to fend for themselves.
The Racial Divide must address the abject disdain for Native Americans whose home is Turtle Island. This mandate has not been taken into consideration - why? Those who make loud noise most - we know who they are - are in charge. Pathetic.
Once this tremendous sore abscess has been addressed - all other elements of the great division will fall in place.
Whites are entrenched with a counter force - using TikTok, media hits, various columns, and many digital tools - to elect Secretary of State - in many States.
Here, in San Francisco - hundreds of Blacks are treated with disdain and are suffering - victims of the SF Civil Commission - and SF Human Resources Department under Carol Isen.
I knew Carol Isen when she worked for SF Public Utilities Commission, and her disdain for a Black woman coworker - nothing has changed.
Millions of dollars are given to a few corrupt crooks who dole it out to the inner circle. All in the name of Racial Equity.
Some black folks in San Francisco are handed thousands of dollars - taxpayers' money on a platter. Do we really want an audit to bring out the truth?
What has the SF Human Rights Commission have to do with Workforce Development?
You judge Workforce Development by the number of career jobs created.
We know in San Francisco - we have a big problem - with the cost of building materials - costing, in many cases, 200% more.
Construction has slowed down - and will hit rock bottom - with the interest rate upped and no one in their right mind wanting to build any building at over $800 per square foot.
No entity wants to wait three years to get their entitlements - this one singular fact and the abject corruption.
More - from the SF Department of Building Inspection, the Assessor Office, and other SF CityDepartmentst who milked the Federal Government - linked to the Stimulus Funds. Time will tell.
Pre-pandemic City and County of San Francisco had over 34,000 employees.
Today 30% of this workforce is in limbo. SF City Hall was closed for over two years - scattering standards, stalling permits, fostering corruption. Long-drawn out - virtual meetings - where much was said but little understood - kicking the can down the street.
The SF Human Service Department was unprepared for the pandemic - the incumbent Micki Callahan was in charge of the Cabal for a long time.
She made hay while the sun was shining and when she smelled pandemic - she decided to retire - and enjoy an everlasting - picnic.
It will take decades to weed the many discrepancies - cancer that spread deep into the SF City Human Resources system.
The present Director of Human Services is swimming in a cesspool; as I said, nothing has changed.
Much of the nonsense is connected with the SF Civil Commission - hundreds of blacks suffering from decisions made by the SF Civil Commission - and Full-Time Employment positions.
Serious issues that come before the current Budget Committee - a long, lengthy presentation full of lies and half-truths - by the SF Civil Commission presenter left unscathed.
Not a question was posed to the presenter - abject disdain shown to those that are black - and many SF city employees were shafted with poor representation.
Those on the SF Budger committee - heard it all - but cannot do a needs assessment - less discern. They are not educated on issues.
Blacks today have no clue about the role played by Frederick Douglass,
At a gathering where President Abraham Lincoln was present - enters Frederick Douglass - and immediately, President Abraham beckons Frederick Douglass to talk to President Lincoln.
The subject - the ongoing Civil War - the solution - enslaved Black people - fighting for the Union.
The formerly enslaved people did - laid their lives - and the Union won.
As far as we know - from empirical data - President Abraham Lincoln was a Republican.
As far as I know - from my deep research - blacks all over our nation - more on the East Coast - were staunch Republicans.
After the Civil Rights Act of 1965 - blacks embraced Democrats - today, we know the state of affairs - and we must stop fooling ourselves.
This madness of Racial Equity - with a holistic foundation - those shouting the loudest - make decisions - will end in a disaster.
Recent founders of the many movements - where the nation without discrimination - donated millions of dollars - have all turned out to be hoodwinked in broad daylight.
Do your research and find out - where the money went.
Google the founders' names - never mind who donated millions - find out when the donation reached the inner circle - how the money was spent?
First, we had Communities of Opportunity - million spent - most of the money went into the pocket of Dwayne Jones.
History repeats itself - today, there is a program offering Opportunities - for every dollar spent, ten dollars go into a bucket - the crooks use it - to fill their campaign coffers - and bail out other crooks all black.
The fanfare held at the Chase Center - no accountability, no transparency. Guess who runs the program?
Each of these characters - are involved in hoodwinking in broad daylight - saying one thing and doing another.
We could pose a simple question - do you think each of these characters above - comes close to Harriet Tubman?
Or, for that matter, Frederick Douglass?
Each of these characters has been charged - lying, stealing, hoodwinking - and talking from both sides of their mouth?
Each of these characters has a case sent to the Sunshine Task Force. All are dubious in nature - none have the best interests of San Franciscans - and cannot be trusted.
Each of them has cases pending before the Ethics Commission.
One paid $23,000 - just paid it - to hold her job. The fine imposed by the SF Ethics Commission.
Another had to answer about $5.3 million unaccounted for at the SF Bayview Opera House - that does not come under a 50I c 3 status - but operates under a 12L - Economic Development. No public meeting was held - about this change that happened years ago.
Fredrick Douglass, an orator, the brilliant self-educated thinker who helped emancipate blacks - those who do not know it - must see this fact.
Fredrick Douglass fought for all those that needed help. The Suffrage Movement - he debated all and won hands down - he was humble and did not hoodwink anyone.
Harriet Tubman - helped free thousands of enslaved people - directly and indirectly.
Harriet Tubman was an American Abolitionist and Social activist - much like Fredrick Douglass - that is why I pray and remember them daily,
These two great souls - are close to my heart - much like Chief Sitting Bull and Chief Joseph.
Harriet Tubman served as a spy and armed scout for the Union Army.
Harriet Tubman was a skilled nurse. We know her organization, the Underground Railway - you know now - where she learned her skills - we speak her name but do not care to share the details - with action that counts - humility and sacrifice.
Her real name is Araminta Ross - born in Dorchester County, Maryland, U.S. Harriet Tubman played a key role - in the Women's Suffrage Movement. She was affectionately called Moses and Minty.
Today's blacks that I have mentioned have a long way to go - they all talk a good talk - but fail to walk the walk.
Start with addressing the disparity suffered by the indigenous Native Americans.
Many blacks who fled their enslavers - were given solace by the indigenous Native Americans - today's blacks in San Francisco - do not know their own history - less the history that matters - one blind person leading another - down the cesspool of their own - creation.
None of the politicians have served our nation - scumbags of the worst kind and all Democrats - pathetic.
The sixth U.S. Army and Presidio of San Francisco.
I served at the Presidio of San Francisco - and know too much about the workings of the City and County of San Francisco.

WE NEEDED THIS WIN - THE TRAILS AND TRIBULATIONS - THE WARRIORS AS A TEAM ARE TIGHT - FOR TWO YEARS THEY NURTURED KLAY - THEN BROUGHT IN WIGGINS, POOLE, AND LOONEY - CURRY AND GREEN - AND WE GOT A GREAT WIN!
Early this season - the Warriors were still recovering - some key Warrior players - were on the injury list.
Klay Thompson recovering slowly - from multiple injuries - out for two years - keeping his eyes on the prize.
Steph Curry, as usual, was very optimistic that with God's help, all would be well.
Draymond Green and Steph Curry - each in their own way - are the glue of the Warrior's team. They do what they do best - keep the teams strong - peer support counts - and let the coach play second fiddle.
This is possible because Steve Kerr - himself was a player. Kerr losing his father in a tragedy - has enhanced his empathy - supporting those that most need help.
We were still dealing with the pandemic - some of us staying at home - rarely going out.
We tried to keep our sanity - keep a close watch on the Warriors - low in their winnings - then - slowly but steadily rising to the top - finally winning the NBA series.
It says a lot when the Warrior beat the Celtic in Boston - on the Boston's home ground - and then outsmarted the Celtics - on every level.
Adding the many virtual meetings - long drawn out meetings - too much talk and less meaningful action. We all hoped against hope - the dark cloud would pass away, and it did. Let good stuff happen!
The Golden State Warriors were getting ready for battle - Kevon Looney and Andrew Wiggins in the wings - practicing one-of-a-kind plays - that would bring in the basket full of joy.
Kudos to Andrew Wiggins for inspiring so many young people - you came in fresh and helped make it happen.
The last win in Boston, defeating the Celtics before yesterday's game, was one of the best games I have witnessed.
Steph Curry hitting the ring and making baskets.
Many of the throws - from every angle - and many from downtown. Steph Curry - earned the name Superman - even the commentators were at a loss for words.
The Golden State Warriors
These three young men, Jordon Poole, Kevon Looney, and Andrew Wiggins, are a blessing to us here in San Francisco - the new home of the Golden State Warriors.
At this time, I would be remiss not to thank the fans from Oakland who did so much for the Warriors - while they made their abode in Oakland - but for the Raiders too.
The Oakland, Raiders - the Warriors - one-two punch for so many years - while they were in Oakland.
We here in San Francisco enjoyed the many victories that the NFL Football 49ers showered on us - and, of course, the Giants - who won a couple of championship baseball games.
This Warrior NBA basketball victory is the icing on the cake.
We honor Andre Iguodala - he keeps it honest and unites the team.
Having a Brother like Andre Iguodala is always nice - he is brilliant, and his heart is in the right place.
He will take a Brother aside and give him the right advice - and players like him are a rare find - and in Andre Iguodala - the Warriors have a gem.
Graceful plays that bless us all.
Every game that Steph Curry plays is unique
From downtown, his three-pointers are so graceful
A quick move to the left - a stop - and the flick
the ball sails in the air - and into the ring - a three
Steph takes on any player - even the tall ones
He dribbles well - and his moves are unique
the tall ones bend - Steph moves around
looks at the ring - and lets the ball sail in
sometimes a two - but most of the time, a three
This win means a lot to us in San Francisco
103-90, winning the NBA finals
There will be a parade - and all that is good
We thank coach Steve Kerr - who has deep empathy
His impromptu speech on gun violence in Texas
sent a strong message to the nation
We thank the owners who pay, provide, and care -
brought about the Chase Center - amenities
the Golden State Warriors' victory - says more
to each of us is given the blessing to rejoice
it comes with sacrifice and practice
each one - uplift all so that as a team - bring joy to all
Every good action counts - spread the excellent waves
Far and wide - we are in this together
Kudos Golden State Warriors, and see you on the rebound.

NO ONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND - MUST FORGET THE ATROCITIES COMMITTED BY PRESIDENT ANDREW JACKSON - STEALING MILLIONS ACRES OF NATIVE AMERICAN LAND - MURDERING THOUSANDS - DISPLACING THOUSANDS AND MORE.
President Andrew Jackson - he committed the most horrendous atrocities against the Native American Tribes. His heinous crimes cry to heaven for Justice. His face is on the twenty-dollar bill - his legacy is one of murdering, stealing, lying, and leaving thousands of Native Americans in utter despair - traumatized.
Today, we have thousands of living dead - we saw them on January 6, 2021 - the Committee - is just about to finish its report.
While all the adjudication is on display, it has taken so long - the punishment meted out is too slow to contemplate.
For all the talk that our Constitution is one of a kind - embraces all - the truth be told - many Americans have not read the Constitution.
Many have not read the Bill of Rights - many do not know the role of the United Nations headquarters in New York - in San Francisco.
Many Americans have no clue about the genocide committed by Presidents like Andrew Jackson.
Other - Presidents who invaded other countries like Iraq, Libya, and Afghanistan - feel nothing much about such abject atrocities.
Infants, children, youth, young adults, and our beloved Elders. Those with compromised health - more of our mentally and physically challenged are murdered in cold blood.
We beg our International Courts for help - the Hague and Geneva Conventions, for example, as we are doing today - with the Ukraine situation.
The process - a feeble attempt - to bring about Justice - takes years to get those responsible for the murder, stealing, lying, and hoodwinking in broad daylight to Justice.
Ignorance and arrogance saturate the American experience - the divisiveness in our nation - has reached saturation point.
Once we put our hope in a bipartisan government - keeping in mind our Constitution behind us - and unites us - just as it does the United States military.
The two parties we have today, the Democrats and the Republicans - fail us all - the citizens of America - more, the Speaker of the House - fascinated with impeachment - of her doing - losing twice.
Today Nancy Pelosi is a weed shaking like a weed - any which way.
Mitch O'Connell, the leader of the Senate - entrenched in his own sordid way - puts himself first and the nation - last.
