Sunset in the WestSan Francisco is going through some hard times right now. A reminder that Gavin Newsom served as the Mayor of San Francisco before becoming Lieutenant Governor, then Governor of California. His time as mayor was marked by Black Flight from the city. Happy Black History Month! Gender Issues When Gavin Newsom was Lieutenant Governor, his wife started making woke documentaries for schools: California Gov. Gavin Newsom's (D.) wife has charged the state's public schools as much as $1.5 million to screen her documentaries on "gender justice" and "corporate exploitation." Siebel Newsom's nonprofit could pose an ethical problem for her husband as he considers a presidential run. The Representation Project drew criticism in 2019 for accepting $358,000 in donations from the Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), the utility company responsible for some of the state's worst wildfires. PG&E is listed as an associate producer on two of Siebel Newsom's films and hosted a screening of her first movie, Miss Representation, in 2011, when Newsom was mayor of San Francisco. The 2019 donation from PG&E is a special slap in the face to victims of the fires in 2018 and the subsequent customers who lived through more wildfires, rolling blackouts and rate hikes. But Newsom wasn't the one who started pressuring utilities to pursue wacky "green" initiatives rather than maintaining and replacing ancient infrastructure, cutting back brush around sensitive equipment, etc. Ace reported on this back in 2009: PG&E: we're going to orbit solar collector panels and beam power down to earth. His link has gone bad. Here's another one. More on the brazen corruption of Jennifer Siebel Newsom"s non-profit: For example, the Project's The Mask You Live In features website addresses of Porn Hub, MassiveCams, BDSM.XXX, and Brazzers.com. The film shows naked or mostly naked women being slapped, handcuffed, and brutalized in pornographic videos. The images are tagged with descriptions such as "domination," "kinky couples," and so forth. Most of us knew about this: Newsom Signs Bill To Let California Strip Gender-Confused Teens From Parents -- Even When They Live In Other States But did you know that California parents cannot opt their kids out of gender identity and sexual orientation instruction at any level in public schools?
Check out the thread. Scary. Results from a gender identity questionnaire, adult. No wonder kids are confused.

San Francisco's reparations committee has proposed that San Francisco pay $5 million each to virtually all black San Francisco residents over the age of 18, and also pay reparations to black people all over the country with drug convictions. This would cost the city trillions of dollars, bankrupting it. Yet the plan was praised by the President of the City's Board of Supervisors. Serious question: what percentage of the American "debt for slavery" was paid by the 620,000 Union soldiers who died? See Thread for particulars, other interesting points.

Last week's thread, January 28, WHEN in the course of human events things get really personal You may have already read that Gerard Van der Leun died yesterday. The search engine shows the entry for his American Digest blog with "WHEN in the course of human events it becomes . . ." We learned of his passing from another blogger, Neo, whose site gets linked here a lot . . Updates: I was looking through my emails and found one from Gerard Van der Leun dated September 12, 2020. It concerned a post I wrote on that date when another big fire complex had threatened the areas where he and his brother lived, after his narrow escape from death by fire in 2018. I included excepts from some of his posts, interspersed with other content. "He seems to have a knack for balancing attention to the past, present and future." He wrote: It takes a lot to make an old man blush This seems typical of the way some of his American Digest readers have described him, as having a remarkable sense of humility. There are also some hints that this quality is one that he developed over time. The American Digest site will be up for two years if you would like to visit. Gerard Van der Leun had asked Neo to pin two final posts at the top opening page of the site. She has been adding a few more posts below them. Like this one. Makes you think. At the top of the page is a re-post of a story which starts with Gerard finding his name on a war memorial. Then it slips deep into the impact on a family of the loss of a son in wartime. I read it years ago. It is even more moving now. Below that post is Gerard's LAST POST: So Long. See You All a Little Further Down the Road It includes video of a song, No Hard Feelings, plus lyrics: When my body won't hold me anymore
