Of all the sites I visit in my morning search, my favorite is American Thinker. Great articles covering just every topic. Great writers, and a great comments section. There seems to be a much higher level of knowledge and intelligence among these commenters than I see elsewhere, albeit, they have their trolls also.
Andrea Widburg, one of my favorite writers, published this piece today, San Francisco schadenfreude, saying:
I grew up in San Francisco and lived just north of it for many years. Overall, I spent two-thirds of my life in or near the city. I know it well and remember it when it didn’t have a skyline dominated by Manhattan-esque skyscrapers. Even with those skyscrapers, though, one of the loveliest views in the world is driving south through the Robin Williams tunnel and suddenly seeing the Golden Gate Bridge, the Bay, and the San Francisco skyline spread before you. Dig a little deeper into the city, though, and it’s a hellhole…which is exactly what its citizens deserve because it’s precisely what they voted for.
San Francisco had its last Republican mayor in 1963. Beginning in January 1964, it’s had only Democrat mayors, including nationally known leftists Dianne Feinstein and Gavin Newsom. Its most recent Democrat mayor, London Breed, won against three other Democrats. Republicans don’t even try.
In my article,What We're Seeing is Irreversible in America's Major Cities, I listed Daniel Greenfield's 2021 worst mayors in the nation saying:
They were all black, and/or far left lunatics, but they were all Democrats, and each and everyone of of them were race baiting hustlers shouting America is institutionally racist, among other things, but clearly they all hate America and are destroying the cities they lead, or led.
Part I: Chicago’s Lori Lightfoot.
Part 2: LA’s Eric Garcetti.
Part 3: DC’s Muriel Bowser.
Part 4: KC’s Quinton Lucas.
Part 5: SF’s London Breed.
Part 6: Philly’s Jim Kenney.
Part 7: St. Louis’ Tishaura Jones.
Part 9: Seattle’s Jenny Durkan.
Part 10: Minneapolis’s Jacob Frey.
Part 11: Charlottesville’s Nikuyah Walker.
Part 12: Portland’s Ted Wheeler.
Part 13: Atlanta’s Keisha Lance Bottoms.
Part 14: NYC’s Bill de Blasio.
And while some of the names have changed, that's all that's changed as the destructive downward spiral continues, just more rapidly.
This piece in AT today by Jerold Levoritz is, in my opinion, insightful and instructive beyond Gaza and Israel, Money For Nothing: The Radical Growth of the Gaza, which I think perfectly describes the future of San Francisco, New York, Detroit, Chicago, Seattle, Portland and every Democrat controlled city in the nation, and every leftist controlled nation in the world.
The only difference is there won't be any money. I'm expecting to see a massive worldwide economic downturn starting in 2025, and be full blown by 2030. Understand this. The debt load of the world's nations is massive, over three hundred trillion dollars, and it's not possible for the world's nations to repay it, and once defaults start, they create a cascading domino effect.
However, the exception to that rule is America, because the federal
government has 150 trillion dollars in assets. More than enough to pay
off our national debt.
For a nation to survive what I believe is
coming will require five things beyond debt control.
- The ability to feed themselves
- Fuel themselves
- Arm themselves
- Defend themselves
- Create their own internal market
There's only one nation that can to
that, and it's America, but that can't happen until their are serious
changes in America's leadership, and government.
Final thought.
This isn't 1930 where passage of the Smoot Hawley tariff was the "real
beginning" of the great depression by creating an international trade
war that shot unemployment up from 8% to 15%. The world's economy is
different now, and the world needs America, America doesn't "need" the
world.
The economic observation of the Nationalist fleeing the Communist to Formosa was they had to be able to make things and feed themselves.
