Mayor Gavin Newsom has NOT been transparent - he often talks the talk but fails to walk the walk. Mayor or not - you just cannot act like Caligula. Nathaniel Ford knows better - when he first came he had some decency but the man - now, has NO backbone and has bent backwards to to serve his Masta,unconditionally - doing his bidding much like the Slave Plantation.

San Francisco is the most RACIST City - folks laugh and smile and stab you in the back. At least in the years gone by - you knew a snake and were prepared for it.

These vermin love to control things - remote control. Think they can get away with murder in broad day light. Leading the charge and creating most on this nonsense in...
