I try to post something every day, as you know, even though there’s not always “news” to report. But every day, I try to inspire readers, to give them hope in our fight, to validate their courage in resisting the current, evil system that governs us, to reassure them that they’re not alone, but are part of a much larger movement that desires to overthrow the broken woke ideology that runs this town.

The Chronicle’s headline story yesterday on Downtown Oakland highlighted the area’s challenges, and also underscored the incompetence of Mayor Thao proposed solutions.

Justin Phillips, the SF Chronicle’s race columnist, wrote an essay for the paper a few days ago that’s nothing short of a declaration of war against the police.

Sheng Thao is not popular among her fellow East Bay mayors. It’s not so much that they dislike her personally, as the city she leads: Oakland, which is widely perceived as a seedbed of criminals and crime. If you’re the mayor of, say, San Leandro, Emeryville, Berkeley or Hayward, you know that bad people from Oakland routinely pillage your city and then return to the safety of Oakland, where they’re pretty sure they’ll be left alone by a regime sympathetic to them.

Jack, Rich and I started the Coalition for a Better Oakland three years ago. We had met on nextdoor.com (ironic, since I’m now permanently banned for being politically incorrect) and quickly discovered we were all upset by the direction Oakland was going. So we got together on Jack’s deck and invented this thing.
