In San Francisco, the smell of poop overpowered by the stench of leftist corruption
One-party blue city San Francisco has a corruption problem.
Turns out the sewage on the streets isn't the only thing filthy about San Francisco. Its man in charge of that clean-up, Mohammed Nuru, was busted with a septic tank full of corruption charges.
According to the San Francisco Examiner:
In the biggest public corruption scandal to shake City Hall since 2015, [San Francisco Public Works Director Mohammed] Nuru and local entrepreneur Nick Bovis of famed Union Square sports bar Lefty O’Doul’s have each been charged with one count of wire fraud.Nuru, 57, and Bovis, 56, allegedly attempted to bribe an airport commissioner to help win a bid for a restaurant lease at San Francisco International Airport in exchange for an envelope full of cash and an apparent vacation.The alleged kickback scheme was just one of five that federal authorities described in a complaint released Tuesday after surveilling Nuru and Bovis with FBI wiretaps and undercover operators since at least 2018.The allegations against Nuru also involve sharing a $2,070 bottle of wine with a billionaire developer in China and having city contractors work on his vacation home near the Mendocino National Forest.
The detailed descriptions of the string of corruption crimes Nuru was involved in must have made him a lawman's dream, given the large number of violations they were able to demonstrate, a veritable sewage pit of systemic corruption.
Nuru, whose Twitter handle was "Mr. Clean," and last seen in the news as the chief of San Francisco's famous "poop patrols" now faces charges in pay-to-play set-ups for homeless toilet contracts, a bribery plot to an airport commissioner who said no, money from developers from China, and forcing city workers to fix up his planned retirement estate for free or nearly free in what lawmen said was a bid to keep contracts coming. The Examiner says the retirement hideaway is in Mendocino, but SFGate says it's Colusa County, same obscure place ex-Gov. Jerry Brown retired to. If the latter is correct, it probably points to some additional digging to be done by lawmen on why that pair is so close they choose to retire together to that same little-known place with no electricity.
It gets worse. What the FBI found was just a Tuesday snapshot, what's really been going on is a long deep intense sewage sludge act of crimes. There are signs it's all over. YouTube shows videos of all this guy's travels to fancy places like Spain. Spain, really?
This piece, written nearly ten years ago by the HuffPost, described the problems with putting this guy in his $300,000 a year job (his street sweepers reportedly make six figure salaries, too) at Department of Public Works. It should make anyone blanch. Emphasis mine:
Nuru’s work at SLUG [an NGO called the San Francisco League of Urban Gardeners] drew notice of then-Mayor Willie Brown, who took Nuru (who had already volunteered on two of Brown’s electroal campaigns) under his wing in 2000 and hired him as DPW’s second-in-command, making him the city’s point man on graffiti cleanup. Nuru’s program, Operation Scrub Down, which involved spraying down city streets with a high-pressure hose and confiscating shopping carts filled with the belongings of homeless people, earned Nuru the nickname “Mr. Clean.”In the years since Nuru departed SLUG, the group has since shut down operations. [Like the Clinton Foundation did? -ed]During his tenure at DPW, a series of allegations of ethical improprieties began to swirl around Nuru. It was claimed that he broke city rules by replacing city employees with SLUG trainees, pushed pork-loaded street cleaning contracts to his former organization and charged the city over $100,000 to clean up vacant lots near his home in the Bayview.In 2004, the DPW prohibited Nuru from having any official contact with SLUG after nine street cleaners claimed that Nuru illegally pressured them to vote for Gavin Newsom.Citing his work as City Attorney investigating Nuru, Herrera charged that, “for ten years, Nuru’s questionable ethics and repeated misappropriation of taxpayer dollars didn’t seem to merit a slap on the wrist from Ed Lee. Now, as Mayor, Ed Lee thinks it merits a promotion.”
This guy's been filthy for a long long time, it's been out there and nothing happened, at least not during the Obama years. Nuru, though is tied to every element of San Francisco's blue city aristocracy -- Willie Brown, Kamala Harris, Ed Lee, Gavin Newsom, Jerry Brown...which should make him a heckuva witness.
As Nuru was apparently lining his pockets, the city on his watch turned into a hellhole, a place where apps were developed to show visitors where the poop was, and poop-covered maps were created showing the extent of the vileness in the city, which was driving convention visitors away. This, despite the DPW's $312 million budget and $5.6 billion with a 'b' capital portfolio.
It was so bad residents were last seen conducting "boulder warfare" in a desperate bid to keep the homeless from camping out on their sidewalks. The boulders, of course, were removed. Last year, I wrote this:
And yes, sure enough, it is the same people who run the unresponsive poop patrols who had that get-go to clear the boulders — the San Francisco Department of Public Works, run by one Mohammed Nuru, quoted extensively in both the poop patrol pieces and the decision to remove the reactionary boulders. Same guy. He can't keep the neighborhood clean, but oh, he's Johnny on the spot when it comes time to clear the anti-camping boulders.It not only shows that taxpaying residents of the city are desperate for some kind of relief, but also shows that the city doesn't actually care. It's got a homeless empire to defend. So it's getting Hobbesian as the city gets mired in special interest groups seeking to defend their interests, and to heck with a public polity.
The root of the problem is in three things: the incentivization of homelessness, which draws street poopers from all corners of the world to the fair city, free to do their business. San Francisco spends $279 million on homelessness 'programs' having raised the amount $29 million this year, which is a great thing for bureaucrats, but serves as a magnet for more homeless to come in as mendicants of the bureaucrats. One hand washes the other. There are 'navigation' programs, pregnant women programs, housing subsidies to non-profits to provide housing to the homeless, public-private partnerships, Homeward Bound, Operation Outreach, public toilets, and well, now we see Poop City as the current sum result. Throwing more money onto the problem will just create ... more poop.
The city went downhill, not just from liberal policies, but a raw sewage pit of corruption, decisions made for personal benefit instead of the city's interests.
All during the Obama years as this guy made his rise, and the blue city consolidated, Nuru seemed to be protected.
Now he's not. And opening that septic tank is one smelly project indeed. One only hopes that Nuru, the protected rat-king of corruption, isn't the only one who's going to be circling the drain when this gets sorted out. In a one-party blue state, the corruption runs very very deep.

Democrats Don't Care About
American Lives
My
article about Pop Kern, an 89-year-old kind white gentleman and how
Democrats seek to punish him for bogus “white privilege” received
a tremendous amount of positive response. A young relative of Pop Kern
wrote informing me that Pop Kern is a loyal Democrat. This is not surprising.
My black dad who passed away at age 90 was also a lifelong Democrat. Dad
drilled into my head that Democrats are for the working man and Republicans are
for the rich.
Respectfully,
I tried to gently convince an elderly family member that her Democratic Party
has dramatically changed. It is now the party of all things amoral,
anti-Christian, anti-freedom, and anti-American. Looking me firmly in the eye,
she stubbornly spouted, “I'm votin' for Biden!”
The
singular intention of the Democratic Party is to obtain power to control every
aspect of our lives. ObamaCare gave them godlike power to decide who lives and
who dies. If you refuse to give up your Second Amendment right to own a gun, no
healthcare for you. If you hold firm to your biblical convictions, no
healthcare for you.
Fake
news media allowed Obama to lie to the American people 29 times that ObamaCare
would allow them to keep health-care plans that they liked. This huge lie won
Obama the
Politifact “Lie of the Year” award. ObamaCare became law against the will
of the American people and cancer patients lost their lifesaving doctors.
ObamaCare was a major step in Democrats' mission to transform America into a
totally government-controlled nation. The lives of cancer patients did not
matter.
American
lives do not matter either regarding the invasion of illegal aliens. In defiance
of federal law, Democrats host sanctuary cities which protect illegal alien
rapists, murders, drug dealers, and career criminals. Outrageously, illegals
are gifted driver's licenses, healthcare, attorneys, allowed to vote and
numerous handouts unavailable to U.S. citizens.
Democrats
deem coddling illegals more important than American lives. Kate Steinle was
shot and killed by an illegal alien while strolling with her dad on a lazy
Sunday afternoon in San Francisco. Kate's murderer had been deported numerous
times and repeatedly welcomed back to the sanctuary city. Democrats acquitted
Kate's murderer and even voted down a law to punish deported
illegals who keep coming back.
Democrats'
vision for the perfect America includes transforming her into a wild, wild west
of sex, a society in which every perversion is legalized and citizens are
forced to celebrate. A memo exposed Obama's DoJ plan to legalize
12 perversions including pedophilia and bestiality. Colleges are
laying the groundwork by scolding us about our bigoted intolerance of
pedophiles.
Once
you realize that Democrats only care about furthering their agenda and American
lives do-not- matter, you understand their behavior. U.S. students are sick
with strange diseases due to untested illegal alien children being sent to public
schools.
Pediatricians
whose research confirms that transgender ideology is child abuse are persecuted,
fired, and blocked from media. Women who regret aborting their
babies are blocked from media. Women and little girls assaulted by men
posing as women in transgender-friendly restrooms are hidden from the public.
Feminists who fight transgenders destroying women’s sports are blocked from
media. Every truth that undercuts Democrats' lies and evil agenda is
blocked by fake news media.
President
Donald J. Trump is our only protection against Democrats and fake news media
implementing their vision of a new America, removed from her position as leader
of the free world. This is why they are repulsed by Trump's slogan, “Make
America Great Again.”
Their
only hope is to separate Trump from his supporters via a thousand cuts; lying
about him 24/7; spinning everything good he does into a negative; a reason to
impeach him.
By
reducing many of Obama's over-reaching regulations, Trump has our economy at
its strongest in 50 years. Black unemployment is at its lowest in U.S. history.
Democrats hate that blacks are doing so well under Trump. Clearly, black lives
matter to Trump, but not to their so-called advocates in the Democratic Party
and fake news media.
Iranian
terrorist Soleimani murdered and severely wounded hundreds of U.S troops using
roadside bombs. Soleimani planned attacks on U.S. Embassies to murder thousands
more Americans. Trump killed Soleimani. Remarkably, Democrats sought to spin
Trump acting to save American lives into a crime, a reason to impeach him. The
Democratic Party has become the home of pure hate and evil, obsessed with
gaining power.
Elderly
lifelong Democrats are unaware that their “working man” party has become an
anti-American and anti-Christian mob of hate-filled activists at war with
everyday Americans.
Straight
white men like elderly Pop Kern are number one on Democrats' hit list, targeted
for destruction.
I
ran into Pop Kern at the post office. With his great smile, he said, “I want to
thank you for what you wrote on that internet.” I asked, “Did you read it?” He
replied, “No, but I heard about it from Florida to Pittsburgh. Thanks for what
you wrote. I really appreciate it.”

Ruling Class Held Hostage
by Trump’s Impeachment
Every year 3 million
visitors make the pilgrimage to Ellis Island. It is estimated nearly
forty percent of all Americans can trace their ancestors to the 20 million
immigrants that were processed through New York and Ellis Island from 1892 to
1954. These prospective citizens were determined to escape
authoritarianism, soul grinding poverty, war and its aftermath, immutable class
structures as well as religious and ethnic persecution.
Once here they would
immerse themselves in learning English and the nation’s founding documents in
preparation for the most gut wrenching (passing the oral citizenship test) and
emotional (the swearing in ceremony) day in their lives. Thanks to their
life experience and their determination to be citizens of the only nation in
the history of mankind to be founded on the principle that all men are created
equal, these newly minted Americans were among the most loyal and most
well-versed in the nation’s founding.
What would the vast
majority of those that willingly left everything behind to travel for up to
three weeks, oftentimes across a storm-tossed ocean and relegated to the
unsanitary and wretched conditions in steerage, think of the impeachment of
Donald Trump?
Nearly all of the nations
whence these immigrants came were governed by an immutable class
structure. At the apex of this rigid class pyramid was either a monarchy
and its attendant birthright nobility or a dictatorship and its coercive administrative
hierarchy or a communist oligarchy and its implacable bureaucracy.
Class mobility was at the whim and discretion of the autocrat or the oligarchy.
These nameless and
faceless masses had virtually no say in their nation’s governance and they were
at the mercy of the economic and foreign policy of the ruling elites.
They were viewed as being grossly inferior, uneducable and deplorable --
thus mere pawns to be sacrificed in the country’s wars and were little more
than indentured servants to the ruling class.
On the other hand, thanks
to a Constitution constructed to prevent the ascendancy of any one faction into
a position of permanent power and the evolution of a rigid ruling class
hierarchy, the United States possessed the framework and opportunity for anyone
to succeed and live in peace and economic security thus attracting millions to
its shores.
However, beginning in the
1960’s many of those that came through Ellis Island began to notice a change in
the relatively benign and Constitution-oriented governing class. With the
exponential growth of government, a new and potentially destructive class
structure began to evolve, one that was reminiscent of ruling class supremacy
in those nations they had escaped.
A mindset, alien to 170
years of American history, took root amid overwhelming peace and
prosperity. A growing faction in the country began to believe that
they were pre-ordained to govern as they were superior to the unwashed masses,
particularly racial and ethnic minorities as well as those steeped in religion
and morality. Over the years the proponents of this belief infiltrated
the universities and the media-entertainment complex creating an ever-growing
army of narcissists and authoritarians which mutated into today’s American Ruling
Class.
Angelo Codevilla writing
in the American Spectator identified the characteristics of
the American Ruling Class as follows:
Today’s ruling class,
from Boston to San Diego, was formed by an educational system that exposed them
to the same ideas and gave them remarkably uniform guidance, as well as taste
and habits. Regardless of what business or profession they are in, their
road up included government channels and government money because, as
government has grown, its boundary with the rest of American life has become
indistinct. Many began their careers in government and leveraged their
way into the private sector.
Its attitude is key to
understanding our bipartisan ruling class. Its first tenet is that “we”
are the best and brightest while the rest of Americans are retrograde, racist,
and dysfunctional unless properly constrained.
Our ruling class’s agenda
is power for itself. While it stakes its claims through
intellectual-moral pretense, it holds power by one of the oldest and most prosaic
of means: patronage and promises thereof. Like left-wing parties always
and everywhere, it is a “machine,” that is, based on providing tangible rewards
to its members. Hence our ruling class’s standard approach to any and all
matters, its solution to any and all problems, is to increase the power of the
government-- meaning of those who run it, meaning themselves.
By taxing and parceling
out more than a third of what Americans produce through regulations that reach
deep into American life, our ruling class is making itself the arbiter of
wealth and poverty.
The ruling class is
keener to reform the American people’s family and spiritual lives than their
economic and civic ones. It believes that the Christian family (and the
orthodox Jewish one too) is rooted in and perpetuates the ignorance commonly
called religion that is the greatest barrier to human progress. This
dismissal of the American people’s intellectual, spiritual, and moral substance
is the very heart of what our ruling class is about.
[Lastly,] America’s best
and brightest believe themselves qualified and duty bound to direct the lives
of not only Americans but of foreigners as well. Its default solution to
international threats has been to commit blood and treasure to long-term,
twilight efforts to reform the world’s Vietnams, Somalias, Iraqs and
Afghanistans.
Since the Reagan era, the
American Ruling Class has succeeded in electing George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton,
George W. Bush and Barack Obama, all of whom were members in good standing.
Thus, by 2016 the ruling elites were thoroughly entrenched and dominant
throughout the halls of power. They were prepared to govern this
nation for many years to come as one of the flaws in the magnificent governing
blueprint set up by the founding fathers was the reality that this government
can only function with just two major political parties. Both political
party hierarchies had and fully intended to continue nominating candidates for
the presidency and Congress who were either beholden to or members of the
ruling class. The rank and file voters were left with only superficial
differences in the choice of candidates.
The election of Donald
Trump in 2016 was an act of defiance and a rebellion by the deplorables and a
devastating blow to the ruling elites. With his election, President
Trump began the process of a Republican Party divorce from the establishment --
which is now well underway. Thus, the ruling class’s political
hegemony is severely threatened. They cannot achieve their endgame
without de facto control of both parties. Which is why Donald Trump may
well be the most influential President in modern American history.
The Democrat party is now
becoming near exclusive home of the ruling class, as can be borne out by recent
Congressional elections. Before the 2018 mid-term elections, the richest 66
House districts were split 38 Democrats and 28 Republican. After the
election the Democrats held 56 and the Republicans 10 In the 15 districts
where at least 50% of the population have a college degree, all are represented
by Democrats as of 2018, whereas the Democrats controlled 13 of 15 in
2016.
Being relegated
exclusively to the Democrat party means that the ruling class must accommodate
and adopt the radical tenets of the much larger Marxist/socialist wing of the
Party if they wish to win the Party’s nominations for elective offices.
A self-defeating and ultimately destructive path as militant socialists
will, in due course, consume them. Alternatively, and in league with their
propaganda arm, the mainstream media, the ruling elites have pulled out all the
stops and abandoned any ethical, moral or legal restraints to get rid of Donald
Trump and recapture their previous hierarchical influence in the Republican
Party.
The abominably fabricated
and unconstitutional impeachment farce is the culmination of three years of
frustration and determination to rid the nation of the “threat” that is Donald
Trump’s takeover of a major political party and transformation of it into a
vehicle of populism. Which would allow the citizenry and not the elites
to determine the course of the nation’s future. In reality,
impeachment, endless investigations, fabrications and the constant vilification
of Donald Trump are aimed at intimidating the nameless and unwashed masses who
had the temerity and insolence to vote against the wishes of the ruling
class.
Out of 20 million
immigrants there are perhaps less than 100,000 of us living today that have any
memory of being processed through New York and Ellis Island during the 60+
years it was the gateway to America. The determination to invalidate an
election and destroy the Constitutional foundation of this country for the sake
of achieving unfettered political supremacy is not the United States we have
come to know and love. Despite their protestations to the contrary, the
ruling class and their public face, the Democratic Party, does not love this
country and its people and are, in fact, little different than the ruling
elites that caused so many to seek refuge in America.
