If socialism is the answer, why are millions immigrating from socialist countries to the US, but few if any Americans are migrating to socialist countries

If you're reading this, please help spread the word by sharing this article.
Nearly six years after my daughter Hanako’s life was taken, I continue to seek justice.
Next Tuesday, November 17, may be the final court hearing in this case. The Court will decide whether to accept the proposed plea agreement. If it is rejected, Troy McAlister’s trial is scheduled to begin on Friday, November 20.
I do not believe this plea agreement serves justice, accountability, transparency, or the public interest. I believe justice requires that the facts and evidence be heard in open court and the case be decided by a jury.
I would be deeply grateful for your support at Tuesday’s public hearing:
Public Hearing on 11/17/2026 at 1:30pm, Pacific Standard Time
San Francisco Superior Court, Department 26
sftc-org.zoomgov.com/j/16069…
Meeting ID: 160 6991 3087
Password: 443439
For more information about this case, please see Susan Dyer Reynolds’ reporting at thevoicesf.org/, and search “Hanako.”
I am deeply thankful for your support over these many years, and for continuing to stand with me for Hanako, Elizabeth Platt, and for justice.

Why is the public defender, who is complaining he is understaffed, wasting resources investigating a reckless criminal fleeing SFPD? The suspect is deceased, so there's no criminal case.
Newly released video footage appears to show a San Francisco police officer making physical contact with a fleeing suspect before the suspect fatally crashed into a bus shelter in SoMa. buff.ly/ZIwXYK1

Community college instructors can make up to $800k by teaching online courses across multiple districts.
While they may teach 1000+ students per semester they won't have time to determine how many of these "students" are foreign bots ripping off financial aid.

SF used to put 12% of its general fund into infrastructure and capital improvements
Then it was 8%
Then 4%
Now < 2%
In the same period, our cradle-to-grave “free everything” welfare programs have risen from 2% to > 25% of our budget.

This was by far the strangest thing about moving to SF. Contra the standard “yokel in the big city” story, I was mostly surprised by how janky everything is here. Middle class Oklahoma houses were mostly built or remodeled like 2 years ago, everything neat and functional and smooth. You can buy one for like 100k. Here, you pay 3k/month for a studio and it’s got holes in the walls and mold patches and the power randomly fails. There’s no parking ever, anywhere. Bums are just wandering by at all hours. I grew up with very average people, and it wasn’t uncommon to have a three-car garage with a jet ski or ATV in it. The difference in physical standards of living is insane. You’d have to be worth like $50 million to have a decent redneck home in SF. Yeah restaurants or whatever but I can buy bone marrow and prosciutto at the grocery store.
Truly feels like a 3rd world country: crazy amenities for the ultra-wealthy and disfunction otherwise.

Tonight @abc7newsbayarea @Disney is reporting heavy on the story of a cretin wanted for multiple crimes who crashed his escape scooter as SFPD tried to stop him… and they’re not reporting AT ALL that an SF judge RELEASED a man who shot up a Muni bus full of old people and KIDS.

Mario Juarez is heading into what I count is his 7th day on the stand; should be his last.
Thursday, the defense got him to admit he had a gun in his car the day he got beat up outside the CWS headquarters, by a group of ten men allegedly summoned by Andy Duong. He said if he had it on his person and was attacked by ten men, he would have used it.
He has cried each time the attack was raised, and got emotional when describing the value of items stolen during the attack that investigators found in Andy Duong's garage. Juarez testified the gold chain from his father was worth $15,000; he told OPD $50k. He told police his Rolex watch, a gift from his wife, was worth $40k; the defense said it's a fake.
The four defense teams are doing anything they can to point out inconsistencies in Juarez's testimony.
Also, Judge Gonzalez Rogers lashed out at all the attorneys in the case for underestimating the length of time they would take. The trial was scheduled to last 6 weeks, ending before Thanksgiving. Now, she has apologized to the jury and informed them the arguments will last to mid-December, which means jury deliberations could butt right up to the Christmas holiday.
Here's my report from federal court:

The compassion is overwhelming. The City is for gun control except to protect @SFMTA_Muni passengers. Anything goes on a Muni bus.
A man accused of opening fire on a passenger in a crowded rush hour Muni bus last week has been ordered released by a San Francisco judge – and told to take anger management classes for the time being. sfpublicsafety.news/bail-win…

How in god’s name did we elect this smarmy POS to a judgeship? He’s setting free a man who OPENED FIRE on a crowded Muni bus!

I am conflicted about posts like this.
On one hand, awesome! Downtown getting more business!
On the other, the bar is so low for @sfgov that opening a burger restaurant is treated like a major civil engineering achievement.
Mayor @DanielLurie & Supervisor @DannySauter joined other city leaders & burger lovers for yesterday’s ribbon cutting, where guests sampled signature fare from the SF-born burger chain.

He HAD to have known. Start the investigation NOW
Well, well, well
Rep. Ro Khanna sold $NVDA right before Nvidia's CEO admitted to having a Chinese spy side piece
He's a member of the following:
- Strategic Competition between the U.S. and the Chinese Communist Party Committee
- Taiwan Caucus
- High Tech Caucus
Apparently, federal agents informed some lawmakers last year that Jensen Huang might be the target of a foreign intelligence operation
He avoided a ~26% dip

Ladies and gentlemen let’s wish @war24182236 a safe and prolific trip as he heads to MAR A LAGO for the citizens journalist gala. Ok ok ok. Thank you JJ for telling the truth. I bet @sf_mills is foaming at the mouth like a rabid dog.

Worst rain and wind in the Bay Area expected between 9am and 1pm Friday. Heavy rain creates localized flooding on roads, winds will gust 30-50mph. Thunderstorms are possible in the afternoon. Life-threatening surf builds along the coast w/waves 20 to 30ft thru the weekend.

there’s some major changes coming to SF Superior Court and I hope it favors victims; charter reform prop passed in SF - meaning the public defender’s elected position CAN be turned into a mayor-appointed position & pre-trial supervision will be removed from a poor performing nonprofit to the city gov’t … more details coming soon on criminal justice
The prosecutor's response to my questions was far from straightforward, which only deepened my distrust. They suggested moving forward with a meeting with DA Brooke Jenkins, but how can we, when I haven't even received a written answer to all of my questions? #SanFrancisco #USA

EXCLUSIVE: We spent weeks in Napa Valley investigating Gavin Newsom's wine empire. According to a whistleblower, the operation is built on undocumented migrant labor, in violation of the law.
Illegal aliens pick the grapes—and Newsom sells the wine for up to $7,000 a bottle.

Living in SF is so crazy sometimes.
Woman posts on Reddit that a homeless man is repeatedly threatening her + her toddler at their bus stop - yelling at them and following them down the sidewalk.
Dozens of commenters tell her that SHE is the problem 🫠

"She's right there, ask her!"
That's Mario Juarez, while pointing at defendant Sheng Thao, during his fourth day on the stand.
The outburst threatens to derail the bribery and corruption proceedings with Thao's defense telling the judge they are considering filing for a mistrial.
Here's my report from federal court: abc7news.com/20031438/
