As he pushed the stroller with his two young children up Ninth Avenue during his mid-day walk in downtown San Diego, Jarvis Leverson stopped at the intersection of F Street. "This is where I have to divert my route," he said. "I can go that way," gesturing his head in one direction, "or that way." Across the street, the sidewalk was crammed with tents and makeshift canvas shelters erected by the homeless people who have lived there for weeks, even months. Discarded cartons of food and piles of trash were scattered outside the tents, in the gutter and on the

They sound like liberals mugged by reality. Expensive condos are no refuge since leaving the building means encountering all manner of bad behavior imaginable.

My brother lives in that God-forsaken hell hole. I will not go there, period. He's is aching to get out, but his wife is a born and bred Californian so you can guess the score on that. It is little more than a banana communist state now. There is little there for those who are trapped by the coastal wackos and bought-and-paid-for Sacramento political scum. Ronald Reagan said that losing our nation was just one generation away, and here we are. As for Californication, it was lost about two generations ago.

One simple question is missing from this article people complaining about the rampant crime and filth that accompanies the homeless problem in San Diego which of course the democrat commie so-called reporter failed to ask "Who did and who do you vote for?". We all of course know what the answer would be. Glad this democrat commie dupes are getting it good and hard. Suicide by Voting.

Out of curiosity, I found the address for this place and opened Google Maps and was shocked to see that Google has not updated their overhead photos. There are no photos of tents on any street!!! And I thought Google updated their overhead photos frequently. Guess reality is just too much to show via a liberal source.

I drive F Street every day to work, past 8th and 9th. It's a sewer, as are many other streets in downtown SD. Google the backgrounds and biographies of the SD mayor and City Council. You won't be surprised. "America's Finest City." MA.

My husband and his family were born and bred Californians as well. New memories can be made elsewhere #1, but people attacked by ferals cannot. There came a time when even Lot left S&Gomorrah, and we know what happened to those cities. God promised no more floods, but He never said anything about heavenly fire or other forms of punishment.

Tough. They let the the left run wild, voted for them, and now they complain. I have zero sympathy for these liberal fools. They asked for it and they got it. Any conservatives should leave before they wall off the entities state and let what’s left wallow in their filth.

Grew up in San Diego and left in 1974. I've been back a few times to visit family. I lived there at the perfect time. Sad to see " America's Greatest City," die an ugly, slow death.

Keep voting for dems. My guess is the billions of $$$ courtesy of taxpayers that is allocated to the homeless is creating Big $$$ jobs for their friends. Big $$$ spent... no results. Once upon a time long long ago they arrested people for sleeping on the streets. Now they hand out tents, needles, $$$ & food.

They have to watch where they walk, though. If the fall into any of the downtown SD potholes, they'll never be seen or heard from again.

The California Assembly's Public Safety Committee has approved a bill that would ban the use of police dogs for arrests, apprehensions and crowd control, apparently a first-in-the-country measure. The authors of the bill cited the need for the removal of police dogs due to racial bias and violence against Black Americans and people of color. Assembly Bill 742 seeks to ban the use of police dogs for arrest, apprehensions or any form of crowd control.

A member of the California Reparations Task Force vowed the committee’s "recommendations will be breathtaking."

The Biden administration will approve new California rules to cut tailpipe pollution and phase out sales of diesel-burning trucks, according to three people briefed on the plans, a move that could jump-start the nation’s transition to electric-powered trucks and help communities harmed by diesel pollution. The Environmental Protection Agency intends to grant California “waivers” to enforce environmental rules that are significantly tougher than federal requirements and that state regulators have already approved, said these individuals, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the announcement was not yet public.

WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Dick Durbin, the chamber's No. 2 Democrat, said on Sunday that he will quarantine after testing positive for COVID-19, adding to a number of lawmakers from both parties who have been absent from the Senate. "Thankfully, I am fully vaccinated and boosted and only experiencing minor symptoms," Durbin said in a tweet. The Illinois Democrat said he would follow Center for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines, which call for five days of quarantine for those who test positive. Two other Democrats, Senators Dianne Feinstein and John Fetterman, have been absent from the Senate for health reasons. Senate

WASHINGTON — President Biden told a series of cringe-worthy jokes about his Irish ancestry to mark St. Patrick’s Day, cracking that he’s surprised his distant Irish relatives aren’t “in jail” and that he’s “really not Irish” because he doesn’t drink alcohol. The 80-year-old president, who is roughly five-eighths Irish, made the seemingly stereotype-laden attempts at humor as House Republicans investigate his family’s international business deals amid a federal criminal investigation of first son Hunter Biden. “I’ve been to Ireland many times, but not to actually look up, to find my actual family members.

Former Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams has floated the idea of running for office again after her last two failed campaigns, but some state Democrats are ready for her to move on, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Abrams‘ 2022 campaign outraised her rival, Republican Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, by $8 million, with the vast majority of donations coming from out of state, but ran out of money, lost the race and is still facing major debts. Despite her 2018 and 2022 losses, Abrams has not ruled out a third run for governor, prompting worry from some Georgia Democrats, according

If you live in the Bay Area and your natural gas-powered water heater stops working after 2027, you will be required to install an electric model instead. Bay Area regulators voted Wednesday to adopt rules to phase out the sale and installation of natural-gas furnaces and water heaters over the next eight years, one of the most ambitious plans in the country to replace gas appliances with electric alternatives. The rules, approved by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, are meant to reduce air pollution from some of the worst home-appliance offenders. The main pollutants targeted are nitrogen oxides

The catalytic converter theft crime wave that's been sweeping America may be even worse than it seems. A new report from CarFax estimates that 153,000 of the emissions control devices were stolen in 2022, based on repair records. That's higher than some previous estimates and the situation doesn't appear to be improving. According to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, the number of thefts increased 1,215% from 2019 through 2022. Thieves are going after catalytic converters because of the valuable materials used in their construction, including platinum, palladium and rhodium. They're also relatively easy to steal, the process taking little more

There has been some recent media buzz, as well as hope, about the possibility that former First Lady Michelle Obama might be persuaded to enter the 2024 presidential race.

As the Democratic presidential nominee, or even the vice-presidential nominee, she would give Democrats their best chance at retaining the White House.

The day that Donald Trump proclaimed he’d be arrested is upon us. Will he or won’t he be processed and taken into custody on a weak attempt to relitigate the Stormy Daniels payoff? All we can do is wait, and since there is no timeline for grand jury deliberations, that wait could drag on. In the meantime, Trump is keeping his eye on the ball in the face of possible jail time. No, he’s not focusing like a laser beam on Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg. He’s insinuating Ron DeSantis is gay. [Tweet] Those are just two of the posts Trump put on on Desantis on Monday.

Yeah, who knew? As a non-coffee drinker in a coffee-obsessed world, I’m pleased to know that at least in this case, I’m not a genetically-coded “inherently racist” white supremacist, by virtue of my whiteness. I am a “cis” white male, though, so I do qualify as “all of the above” in every other ridiculous left-wing sense, so there’s that. Anyway, a recent idiotic article posted on Afru.com makes the argument that drinking coffee perpetuates white supremacy. Yeah. The ridiculous piece suggests that because coffee was “created by black people,” if you enjoy drinking the stuff, you’re “helping an industry built on racism.”

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that cases of a deadly fungus tripled in the United States from 2019 to 2021. The fungus, Candida aurist, has caused illness and death since it was first detected in the United States. The CDC rates it as an “urgent threat”, the highest level of concern. There are three reasons the CDC has rated the fungus with its highest level of concern- it is multidrug-resistant, it spreads easily in healthcare facilities, and it can cause severe, invasive infections with high mortality rates. The authors of the CDC report wrote that the fungus “has continued to cause illness and death
