The Art of the Deal – by Kim Jung Un
June 16, 2018 | No Comments
Speaking impulsively without consulting South Korea or the U.S. military, Trump handed a gift to Kim on that proverbial silver platter – an unprecedented give-away with his unilaterally deciding to end joint military exercises with South Korea.

Yet after the Orlando massacre, Ryan barely addressed the attack on the LGBTQ community by a Muslim, who pledged allegiance to ISIS.

The mentally ill and those with physical conditions should be a priority in any plan to homelessness in San Francisco.
Modest Proposals to Address Gun Violence
March 01, 2018 | No Comments
The state of our gun laws is not because of the Supreme Court’s decision in District of Columbia v. Heller that established the “right of an individual to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, but rather the power of the NRA on its members, Congress, and many politicians across the country.

Because of you, companies are already scrambling to disassociate themselves from the NRA. Best of all, it is becoming deliciously obvious with each passing day that politicians have finally – finally – met their match.
SF Green Party Calls for Worldwide Boycott of Israel
June 03, 2010 | 15 Comments
In a statement published on its website, the SF Green Party is “actively engaging in a full boycott of all purchases of products and services, the financial gains of which will accrue to any individual or entity within Israel, until Israel is in compliance with all United Nations-recognized international laws; all resolutions of the United Nations General Assembly and Security Council; and, all decisions and directions by all United Nations-recognized international courts, regardless of Israel’s participation in or ratification of such courts.”
Remembering Rachel Corrie
May 31, 2010 | 1 Comment
At the time, I commended the Jewish Film Festival for showing the film. Unfortunately, some within the Jewish community see a “new anti-Semitism” when criticism of Israel is depicted in films like “Rachel.” I like to think that “Rachel” sparked a healthy debate within the Jewish Community about the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The mostly Jewish audience at the documentary enthusiastically welcomed the film.

Gonzalez Being Considered for Interim Mayoral Post?
May 31, 2010 | 25 Comments
There’s good reason Gonzalez is being considered for the interim post: Gonzalez has the highest vote totals in a race for San Francisco mayor without winning, narrowly losing to Newsom in 2003 with 119,329 votes to Newsom’s 133,546 votes.

At a hastily called news conference, sparsely attended, he referred to “the armada of hate and violence in support of the Hamas terror organization,” accusing peaceful activists of a “premeditated and outrageous provocation,” saying “The organizers are well known for their ties with global Jihad, Al Qaeda and Hamas. (Their) intent was violent, their method was violent, and the results were unfortunately violent.”
Time for Immediate Repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell Policy

By Ralph E. Stone May 28, 2010 I applaud yesterday’s vote by the U.S. House of Representatives to repeal the 1993 “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy that allows homosexuals to serve in the military on…
Newsom’s Lie on Sit/Lie
May 26, 2010 | 13 Comments
And as for SFPD Chief Gascon, who is Newsom’s wingman on this caper, even he is careful not to admit that police enforcement of loitering laws is the solution to many of the problems being raised. No, instead, Gascon is now a politician in a taxpayers’ funded uniform, endorsing candidates and going along with Newsom’s sham like former Prime minister Tony Blair went along with George Bush’s pack of lies over weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
Daly Analyzes Candidates Responses
to Progressive Primary
May 25, 2010 | 9 Comments
I see three basic categories of candidates in this race. Let’s start with the candidates who are not Progressives. Clearly they will criticize the Progressive Primary, just as they will criticize progressive values and issues. I am confident that any of our progressive candidates can handle any downtown candidate in a one-on-one debate. It’s easy enough to contrast downtown’s disdain for a progressive “litmus test” while they actively support their own litmus test for rent control! Sorry, but that doesn’t fly in the tenant-rich neighborhoods of D6. As for the downtown establishment, they are smart to attack the Progressive Primary. Their visions of sneaking away with the District 6 seat are quickly dissipating!
