Yesterday I reported how San Francisco, Berkeley, San Jose, Fremont, Martinez and Richmond all have decided to crack down on encampments, embarrassing Sheng Thao who alone among Bay Area mayors refused to do so. Well, now you can add Fresno to that list. It’s not in the Bay Area, but it is the Central Valley’s largest city, and its new homeless crackdown is being called “the most aggressive” in California.

Following aggressive crackdowns on encampments in San Francisco, Berkeley, San Jose, Fremont, Martinez and Richmond, Sheng Thao tells us she’s joining her fellow Bay Area mayors in rousting encampments in Oakland.

I’ve never seen an issue in which Gov. Newsom was more out of step with California voters than Proposition 36, which is on the November ballot. A huge majority of Californians favors it. The Governor, by contrast, does not. He’s resigned to the fact that it will pass, though, and doesn’t care if he’s on the losing side.

The thing to realize about reparations is that a lot of people are pushing for it, and they’re so fanatical that they don’t realize their movement is going anywhere.

While Thao is out there taking credit for lower crime statistics in Oakland, the rest of us know why crime is down: Because Gov. Newsom sent in the cavalry, in the form of the California Highway Patrol. The latest numbers prove what an overwhelming success this has been: CHP “has made 329 arrests, recovered 606 stolen vehicles and seized 35 firearms in two months,” Newsom announced yesterday.
