A sad announcement. Shortly after the war, my Army combat veteran father, age 24 and already a major by virtue of multiple battlefield promotions, was stationed at The Presidio in San Francisco. My mother, age 18, found employment as a dress model at the O’Connor, Moffat & Co. department store, which was soon to be acquired by Macy’s and become the anchor for its West coast operations. My father was handsome, and my mother had movie star good looks and was ideal for the modeling job. It was a storybook posting for the newlyweds, and they recalled the experience with fondness in later years.

Blame Gov. Greaseball Newsom for this and for the destruction of San Francisco as its former mayor. He now is destroying California as governor, and wants to do the same to America as Biden’s replacement.
The thing is Newsom began as a “pro-business” candidate, a conservative by San Francisco standards. He was a good Catholic schoolboy, Notre Dame des Victoires and Santa Clara, was a protege of the Getty’s, had his own successful restaurant business, etc. He was a solid choice, among the usual SF political rabble, or so it seemed.
But then he started moving far left in office. Maybe it was pure ambition, maybe it was because he was a child of divorce. In any case he is what he now is.
Warning label on every plan and product of the left:"We Don’t Bear Responsibility"

Newsom Witnessed Shoplifting at Target. Here's What Happened When He Notified an Employee. [02/02/2024] Posted to FR by lightman
According to Mercury News, Newsom shared the story before the start of a Zoom meeting about a mental health measure he's supporting.
In the meeting, Newsom said he was at a Target store and waiting in line with a cart when he saw another customer walk straight past him without paying.
"As we're checking out, the woman says, 'Oh he's just walking out, he didn't pay for that,' I said, 'Why didn't you stop him?' She goes, 'Oh, the governor.' Swear to God, true story, on my mom's grave. 'The governor lowered the threshold, there's no accountability.' I said, 'That's just not true,'" Newsom said in the video, adding that the girl added, "we don't stop them [shoplifters] because of the governor."
