Democrat Idiocy at Work in San Francisco

At times I have expressed doubts whether Americans have enough sense to continue to survive as a people, and they keep proving my doubts justified. The London Daily Mail reported yesterday that San Francisco voters elected a mayor who has just sneaked through a reparations bill that gives each black resident of San Francisco $5 million to “compensate the affected population for the decades of harms that they have experienced.” 

Researchers at Stanford University calculate that the reparations will cost each white, Asian, and Hispanic resident of San Francisco $600,000 each. The moronic mayor, Daniel Lurie, elected by the city’s residents, admits that his city’s budget is already $1 billion in the red. Lurie says that the deficit prevents the city from allocating any funds for payment of the reparations. He says he is relying on outside donors or the federal government to fund his reparations bill. Will there be riots when the blacks find out that there is no money with which to find their payout?

The $5 billion payout for each black claimant does not satisfy everyone. Some desire in addition city-funded homes for black people, debt forgiveness and a guaranteed annual income of $97,000. SNAPS is not enough. This payout awaits the return of Democrats to power in Washington.

Decades ago when I was at Stanford University, San Francisco was a prosperous and clean city. Years of Democrat rule have reduced it to its present plight. The same has happened to many other cities, such as New York and Minneapolis. One more Democrat regime in Washington will just about do it for America. I believe we can rely on the ignorant mob to complete America’s suicide.

As government at every level puts America fifth, after Israel, after immigrant-invaders, after blacks, and after grifters for whom state, local, and federal budgets are appropriated, I find myself wondering if 2026 will be America’s last year.
