statue of Abraham Lincoln was vandalized in San Francisco as a school district committee pushes for the renaming of Lincoln High School and others, authorities said.

Deputies responded to a call about the incident at 12:55 p.m. Saturday, the San Francisco Sheriff’s Department told McClatchy News in an email. The suspect had fled before deputies arrived, according to the department.

The statue has been restored and deputies are still investigating.

A photo shows the statue’s face painted red along with the engraved name at its base. Christopher Beale, a journalist based in San Francisco, posted the photo along with a blog about Lincoln’s history on Medium.

California’s Final Day of Reckoning is long overdue.

Anyone in his right mind would be wise to get out of that Godforsaken place.

BROOKE WOLFORD owes Donald Trump an apology as do all journalists.

For years the press redacted President Trump’s remarks about Charlottesville and they repeated the lie numerous times during the 2020 campaign including at the debates.

Donald Trump said that the Left would not stop with statues of the Confederacy. That they would come for the founders of this nation.

Abe Lincoln didn’t even own any slaves.

Abraham Lincoln kept this nation together during the Civil way, gave the slaves freedom, and helped them recover. He gave his life for it, shot dead by a Southern Democrat who refused to acknowledge the Emancipation proclamation. So the fact that San Francisco Democrats want his statue and school name removed shows the Democrats have still not recognized the freedom of the slaves.

San Francisco (along with LA) has become a Moscow/Peking/Pyongyang/Havana/Teheran conglomerate capitol of the “hate-America” parts of America. This is only the latest anti-American act of sedition and hatred the California Left has for America and American history.

Unless twin asteroids take out these two Marxist shitholes from Hell in the near future, I guess the best I can wish for them is a Merry Covid Christmas and a Happy AIDS Year (innocent, same people spared).

The Dems and their Marxist/black racist maters deserve every one of the Pharoah’s Ten Plagues Plus whatever else Red China has planned for us.

I’ve lived in once vibrant east coast cities and watched them burn, become toilets, crime/drug centers, and per the Democrats central theme, “totally run by totally incompetent, corrupt/criminal idiots, fools, egomaniacs, authoritarians in training, and their liberal stooges, toadies and asskissers”.

Whatever happens to LA and SF, they deserve, in spades and I wish it happens very soon. My God is a vengeful God against evil doers and their evil twins, the Democrats.

Thus spoke Madmax the Grinning Reaper, son of MadMax the Road Warrior!

The renaming precedes violence and destruction. Here it is so clearly illustrated with no delay between the one thing and the other.
