sea pirate problem

Amid the sea of blue city chaos in Oakland, it's come to this: What began as another enclave of folks seeking a low-cost alternative to high San Francisco Bay area housing prices, has turned the Oakland estuary into a pirate's nest. Rogue live-aboards have been stealing from infrequently visited boats docked in the marina, surrounding businesses, homes, and each other. The situation has become such that the United States Coast Guard has been called in to police the matter. The Coast Guard will bring sea and air power to the table. The pirates stand little chance. Oakland Mayor Thao says, "There has to be justice." Get ready for something comical or tragic.

FTA —- Much of it is Mexican and Central American cartel-fueled, and with laws largely unenforced in that region, the cartels have had a field day, branching out into actual sea piracy. Pass the popcorn if cartel foot soldiers open fire on the Coast Guard.

Posse Comitatus? A city with a waterfront and only one Police officer in a dinghy? Let's just keep allowing Cartel members into our country, Pretty soon we won't have a country.

The Coast Guard isn't going to shoot anyone. They'll motor on by and with their presence shoo away the horrible miscreants - temporarily. Then they'll move on letting the pirates get back to work. Even if the thieves are caught, they will be turned over to the civil authorities who will simply let them go.

This isn't Cartel stuff....this is basic Dot Occupy/Antifa/Homeless stuff, compounded by way tooooo many govt entities getting paid to NOT do their jobs, and in fact stopping other govt entities from doing them either. Lawyers/advocates filing against any actions... Abandoned boats should be raised from the mud, crushed and scrapped. Those on land should be fed to a chipper. The only "Piracy" issue should be increased prosecutions under those headings perhaps. When I lived there I had a sailboat in sausalito where since the 60's there has always been an "anchor out/Houseboat" hippie enclave, and crewed on a larger raceboat kept in Alemeda where there were NO such problems, mainly because the water front was Oakland's ONLY clean/safe/tourist area and the sailors/boaters it's major income source, not just the marinas, boat builders, yacht sales, sail lofts, but the marine parts sales/services sector, bars/restaurants, clothing, entertainment. With nearly every yacht club holding/hosting sailboat races every weds and larger races every weekend with hundreds of boats participating...meaning over 1000 crew arriving/departing, eating/drinking, getting clothed in foulies, shoes/boots, gloves, PFD's...The acronym for BOAT= Break out another Thousand$. Just the boat washing/varnishing industry employed hundreds, and generated $millions. The marina's and docks had security and you could tell INSTANTLY who was NOT supposed to be there, everybody looked out for their dock neighbors, most boats were not locked in case someone noticed it taking on water or whatever and could then get aboard and solve the issue before catastrophe...The Americas Cup, and Americas Cup world series boats were all based in the estuary, and brought $Billions to the Bay Area, as well as millions of visitors. Methinks this is likely overflow from San Francisco's homeless hordes, as well as "Migrants" from seattle/portland occupiers.

They won't punish the bandits enough to matter. Even if they put one on trial and sentenced him to life he would know he would be released in a year because that's how we do it. We need to bring back trial and execution in just a few weeks.

Won't these thieves get a $1K per-day grace limit like brazen shoplifters? Or will this lead to a return of society's resolve to declare sanctity of property and resume our ages-old punishment of criminals?

I had my boat in Alameda while it was being sold (21 years ago). I used to fear the stretch where I got off 880 and had to meander through Oakland to get to the tunnel. It truly felt like a different country through there. A very dangerous country. Alameda was relatively safe, but I wouldn't want to be anywhere near that area these days.

#4 & 8 - TK and I had to drive into SF last month for a doctor's appointment. The access roads surrounding the estuary in San Rafael and the Richmond Bridge area were bumper-to-bumper broken down RV's and cars. It was a continuous homeless encampment ring around the whole north bay. Our modern day Okies; the Great Depression, 21st century style.

With the unconscionable persecution of the January 6th protesters, the unabashed government censorship of speech, the weaponization of federal intelligence and law enforcement agencies, and the egregious abuse of presidential executive orders and emergency declarations, the American police state is no longer a hypothetical possibility but an increasingly indisputable reality. While imperceptibly evolving over many decades, the emergence of the American police state was significantly accelerated with the overreaction to the September 11, 2001 terror attack. Even more important was the Covid 19 pandemic that dramatically increased the momentum toward a police state as once a people are terrorized it is easy to impose a police state on them.

Feel good story of the day. A Texas serial killer who murdered dozens of elderly white women was killed in prison by his cellmate on Tuesday morning. Billy Chemirmir murdered 23 elderly caucasian women in Dallas and Collin Counties, stole their jewelry, and sold it for cash. According to the Associated Press, the first trial of Chemirmir for the murder of Lu Thi Harris, 81, ended in a mistrial. A single juror refused to vote guilty despite overwhelming evidence. Chemirmir was later convicted of Harris’ killing and the slaying of Mary Sue Brooks, 87. Collin County District Attorney Greg Willis a few weeks ago said he would not be seeking the death penalty

The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Mark “Thoroughly Modern” Milley, who apparently wears a medal on his chest for every military disaster he’s overseen, bristles at claims that on his watch, the U.S. military has become woke, soft, and distracted from its actual purpose. The uber-woke general claims that he’s “not even sure what that word truly means” — that is, “woke” — and that the United States military is fearsome, powerful, and ready for anything. And it’s true, as long as the Chinese or Russians send an army of drag queens to confront us.

Et tu, Brute? On Sunday, The Washington Post ran an editorial by Allan Lengel, detailing “accusations of betrayal” in a small Michigan community known as Hamtramck, after the city council enacted a ban... prohibiting the display of Pride flags on city property. Oh, was I absolutely tickled to read this. (For a couple of reasons, actually.) Everything about Pride flags on public property is a disgrace, so of course I welcome and applaud this civic act—but the real treat was in the minutiae, because I have a penchant for schadenfreude.

Joe Biden's corruption is outdone only by the mainstream media's commitment to hide it from the public. Why propagandists posing as journalists would feel the need to continue covering for China Joe and his quid-pro-quo mafia family is a mystery (although reporters are so addicted to censoring truth and spreading disinformation that they probably don't know how to behave differently). To be sure, the public has known about the Biden Crime Family's notorious racketeering activities for decades. When a lifetime politician supposedly living on a "public servant's" salary becomes filthy rich, no thinking person has difficulty understanding that corruption is somehow involved.

Jann Wenner is a giant of rock music history, even though he never fronted a band, composed a hit song, or produced a gold record. As the co-founder of Rolling Stone magazine, Wenner became a tastemaking publisher; for years, anybody who was anybody in popular music got a mention in Rolling Stone. Wenner’s clout also allowed him to co-found the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1987. Wenner is also a devoted man of the left. Rolling Stone’s coverage has always been unabashedly left-wing, and its co-founding publisher earned his bona fides protesting in Berkley’s Free Speech Movement and working for hippie rags like Ramparts.

Senators Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas), Roger Wicker (R-Mississippi), Susan Collins (R-Maine), and Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) have penned a letter to Joe Biden, urging him to send MGM-140 Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) to Ukraine.

The senators’ letter comes on the heels of the Senate Armed Services Committee’s unanimous approval for the Department of Defense to send long-range missiles to Ukraine.

Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., while announcing his 10-point plan to end the plastics pollution crisis, said he would ban fracking. The process of fracking involves high pressure injections of liquid into underground rocks and layers to open fissures and extract oil or gas. The United Nations says each year, 19-23 million tons of plastic waste leaks into waterways, polluting rivers, seas, and lakes. [snip] The move would also drive the price of oil above $150 per barrel, while killing state budgets for energy producing states.

Remember James Clapper and John Brennan? It's easy to forget given how much has transpired since both men consistently led the news throughout the Trump administration. At one time, though, their involvement in Crossfire Hurricane, otherwise known as the Russia collusion investigation was really big news. For those less initiated, here's a quick refresher. Clapper was Barack Obama's DNI and has been credibly accused of lying to Congress. Meanwhile, Brennan is Obama's former CIA Director and has been credibly accused of doing the same. Both men lived on cable news after Trump's inauguration, making all kinds of wild, unsubstantiated claims related to nefarious Russian collusion supposedly committed by

The Biden administration is setting a booby trap in case a Republican wins the presidency in 2024. On Friday, the White House unveiled a proposed rule that would make it even harder than in the past for an incoming Republican president to wrestle control of the left-leaning federal bureaucracy and actually implement the conservative policies promised to voters. Of the 2.2 million federal civil workers, only 4,000 are presidential appointees. The rest stay in their jobs, from one administration to the next, protected by rules that make it nearly impossible to discipline or replace them.
