Court documents reportedly said White’s life of crime went back 30 years with her initial conviction for stealing from a woman in 1989.
“Despite her crimes, in 2011 she was awarded a $30,000 payout by San Francisco School District which she sued after claiming a teacher had stolen her younger daughter Haniyah’s Twinkie snacks,” according to the Mail article.
Police Defunding Pol Sued For Not Funding Own Credit Card Debt
15 comments
Only a completely dysfunctional political movement would elevate someone like Jo Ann Hardesty to anything. Here's a brief reminder of Portland's greatest civic figure really is.
Hardesty is famous for three things: her calls for defunding the police, her calls to be made police commissioner, and her call to the police when she got into an argument with her Lyft driver because he wanted to keep the window open.
And then there was this.
“I believe Portland Police [Bureau] is lying about the damage—or starting the fires themselves—so that they have justification for attacking community members,” Hardesty said.
In a letter sent to City Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty late Thursday afternoon, Mayor Ted Wheeler chided her for incendiary claims she made yesterday that Portland police embedded themselves among protesters and set fire to public property, effectively framing protesters for arson.
Last week, Hardesty took to Twitter demanding action regarding the police bureau and included a message for Mayor Ted Wheeler, who also serves as police commissioner.
“Mayor Wheeler, if you can't control the police, give me the Portland Police Bureau," she said.
When asked whether she thinks Mayor Ted Wheeler is qualified to lead Portland through this historic moment, the commissioner said, "You know, he is who he is. He is a privileged white man who grew up among wealth and privilege, and so I don't know if he has what we need at this time. I can tell you I have what we need to fundamentally change how policing happens in Portland and would be fearless about changing it."
While Hardesty advocates defunding the police, she hasn't been funding her own credit card debt.
Portland City Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty is facing two lawsuits from Bank of America for not paying credit card debt totaling more than $16,000.
The lawsuits, which were filed in late November 2021, are for $4,707.18 and $11,344.36 in alleged nonpayment.
“When I ran for city council in 2018, like many working people I was reliant on a credit card and built-up debt,” Hardesty said in a statement on Tuesday. “I live alone, without help, and put all of myself into my work at the city. Sometimes that means I neglect to take care of personal matters. I tried to work out a payment plan before with this debt that didn’t work out and intend to pay this off.”
As commissioner, Hardesty approves the city’s budget, along with the rest of the council.
If only she had some highly paid government position that would enable her to cover her credit card bills.
WHAT IS MORE LAWLESS THAN THE
LAWYER INFESTED DEMOCRAT PARTY?
What do migrant surges and smash-and-grab lootings have in common?
The sudden appearance of smash-and-grab mass lootings has left a lot of people perplexed. After all, who the hell would do that sort of thing? We know that such people are aware that they won't be punished, but that isn't the full story. Most of us wouldn't do that kind of thing no matter what the incentives. We're the kind of people who return an extra dollar to a store clerk because honesty is natural and compassion is our way of life -- we don't want the clerk's drawer to come up short at the end of the day. We live our social capital.
The people who engage in organized smash-and-grab lootings have an entirely unrecognizable mentality. Sure, they're likely fatherless. And sure, they're likely religion-less, with zero exposure to morality. It's natural to wonder if these people were raised by wolves and kept in some sort of den to come out like vampires now that Chesa Boudin is running the district attorney's shop in San Francisco. The phenomenon doesn't add up.
Actually, between basic absence of morality brought on by social chaos, and the knowledge that one will never be punished for one's crime, there's an intermediary cause, an activator of this these mobby crimes.
According to The Hill, citing the Wall Street Journal:
Police say that some of the smash-and-grab robberies that recently took place in California and Minnesota were organized on social media and were carried out by people who did not know each other.
Local law enforcement said robberies at a Bay Area Nordstrom, a San Francisco Louis Vuitton and at a Minneapolis Best Buy were all organized on social media, according to The Wall Street Journal.
For the people who took part in some of the incidents in California, Snapchat was used to organize the crimes as thieves were possibly attracted to the app’s ability to make messages disappear. Once law enforcement arrested some suspects, they at times did not know the names or have any information about the people with whom they were working, the Journal reported.
And yes indeed, these people are out there and they are activated by social media -- Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, TikTok, and others -- openly slavering to be included in these loot fests, all made possible by social media.
In an earlier blog post, I ran across this pair:
The posts are still up, with Twitter continuing to focus on right-wingers to censor, not the brays of the wannabe looters asking for someone to put them on a list to call so they can go smash and grab a fancy retailer for "free" designer goods.
Facebook and Snapchat have been named in the reports, too, and apparently, it's the new "in" thing. Not too long ago, another social media outfit, TikTok, was the vehicle of choice for random attacks on educators called the "Slap a Teacher Challenge." Overseas this year, Palestinian terrorists initiated a comparable "Slap a Jew" TikTok challenge, copycatting the revolting 2015 "Knockout Game" targeting Jews in New York, with attacks from behind which also emerged from the social media swamp. And though I have not found the entire trail of evidence yet, I'd bet money that the violent random attacks on Asians going on in deep-blue cities are also social-media (as well as YouTube) generated. It fits the sick pattern.
Mass lootings are social media's new achievement this day, and nobody in that wealthy tech industry ever pays for it. The looters get off, the retailers eat the loss, and the shops close up, leaving beautiful American cities all duplicates of Detroit during its bad years. Worse still, ravaged cities can take decades to recover. Just ask South Central Los Angeles or Detroit itself in the wake of its mass riots.
It's far from the only negative act coming out of social media with zero accountability.
Do you wonder why the border surges are so intense and huge, and include nationals now of more than a hundred countries? How did they get there? Why do so many third-worlders in actual rising economies suddenly want to move here? This didn't used to be the case in years past when these countries were poorer, but now these surges are a way of life with Joe Biden in the saddle, inviting them in. And why have the cartels themselves grown so powerful, now taking over ports and threatening our neighbor to the South?
Thank your local social media for all of that illegal activity, too, which makes it possible. I wrote about those issues here and here. And here.
So now we have social media at the nexus of mass lootings, and social media at the center of migrant surges and cartel empowerment. What kind of operation is this? Social media seems obsessed with censoring conservatives in the name of 'fake news' or fact-checking, which it turns out is all opinion, as Facebook has admitted. Meanwhile, America's cities are on fire, its shops are trashed, no one feels safe, the quality of life is going down, and illegal aliens are surging on in. It's all got the same root and the same irresponsible enablers. The elites running these outfits claim that they are as upset as anyone else about the illegal activity their sites are promoting, but they never seem to do anything about it. Meanwhile, they take refuge in Article 230 which protects them from liability from the kind of things that occur on their sites, and vigorously protest and lobby and hand cash to politicians to keep it that way.
It's a pretty obvious pattern of illegality and irresponsibility. Anyone else who'd let a criminal group use a safehouse or enable them to organize would be jail-bound, but not these guys. Now it's getting obvious that social media is enabling this kind of new criminality. Come 2022, Congress needs to take action to drop that outrageous protection and force these people to own their activity. And any retailer who has been devastated by one of these looter mobs should be free to sue these social media barons who make this activity possible.

A mother and daughter were among those arrested for allegedly looting a San Francisco Louis Vuitton store prior to Thanksgiving, the Daily Mail reported Tuesday.
“Grabbing grandmother Francill White, 53, and daughter Kimberly Cherry, 28, were two of five looters nabbed by police over the November 19 incident that saw thieves make off with more than $1million-worth of designer goods,” the outlet said.
Beside the also accused Tameko Miller, 23, and Ivan Speed, 34, the two were charged with four felony counts of looting amid a state of emergency, second degree commercial burglary, grand theft, and receiving stolen property.
“Despite being slapped with serious charges – and a combined 14 previous convictions ranging from shoplifting to attempted murder – all five are now back on the street on bond,” the Mail article continued:
Convicted drug dealer Speed has even taken to social media while on house arrest: launching a range of hoodies with the slogan ‘No Face No Case’ – an apparent reference to his masked appearance during the looting spree. Cops told DailyMail.com the raid was put together by organized crime gangs with the stolen goods earmarked for resale overseas and said they have had to step up patrols in the upscale shopping area in a bid to beat the criminals.
San Francisco’s Union Square has since boarded up amid the Christmas shopping season after the “mass looting” incidents began, Breitbart News reported December 1.
“The spate of lootings has been blamed on ‘woke’ San Francisco DA Chesa Boudin and a 2014 California law that made theft under $950 a misdemeanor,” the Mail article read.
The outlet pieced together the alleged looting gang’s rap sheet through information obtained from nearby counties, news reports, and an overview on the San Francisco Superior Court’s website.

San Francisco schools face $125 million budget deficit and over 400 layoffs this year
On November 2, San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) announced a $125 million budget deficit for fiscal year 2021-2022. The district, which serves 54,000 students, has been losing students amid the growing social crisis from the COVID-19 pandemic and now faces a 10 percent budget shortfall. An additional deficit of $21.6 million is anticipated for the following fiscal year.
SFUSD is planning to cut 360 school jobs and 55 central office jobs. Board of Education members who have vehemently pushed racialist attacks on public art and school names have now meekly bowed down before this assault on education. United Educators of San Francisco (UESF), the union which represents roughly 6,200 teachers, remained silent on the issue until November 12 as rank-and-file members became increasingly restive.
In a leaflet announcing a series of toothless protests at upcoming school board meetings, the union encourages the district to simply shift the budget cuts to administration, writing, “A viable alternative plan is possible when we look at where else cuts can be made and increased revenue.” This would in fact deepen the crisis of public education in the city and in no way improve learning or school conditions for students.
The State of California as a whole is staring in the face of education disaster. Minimal federal support in the first two years of the pandemic has barely constituted a band-aid for longstanding budget shortfalls and will entirely evaporate by the 2023-2024 school year. Declining student enrollment and attendance due to the growing social crisis are further suppressing school budgets.
The top 10 districts with the greatest loss of attendance are the largest school districts in the state. The drop is blamed on an aging population, but the fundamental issues are surging housing prices, pupils pulled from schools due to legitimate fears over COVID-19, and charter school growth.
West Contra Costa Unified School District in the Bay Area foresees a $30 million deficit, Sacramento City Unified School District anticipates an $18 million shortfall, and Los Angeles Unified School District faces a 20 percent drop in enrollment. The funding crisis is so severe that consultants are offering districts a “Planning for Reductions in Force” webinar to be held in January.
In addition to layoffs, many teachers have left the profession in response to the unsafe and exploitative conditions during the pandemic. School districts are responding to a continual loss of credentialed teachers with increased staffing of inexperienced employees via internships, emergency permits and waivers. Statewide, 13,380 teachers are working without the necessary training. In SFUSD, roughly 10 percent of teachers are without a preliminary or clear credential. The lack of special education teachers is significantly worse throughout the state and nationally.
The murderous policy of mandatory in-person learning, which has sickened many students and teachers this semester, was promoted by the California Governor Gavin Newsom, San Francisco Mayor London Breed, and American Federation of Teachers (AFT) President Randi Weingarten, all leading Democrats.
Democratic Party politicians and union bureaucrats have sacrificed the health of Californians to ensure that students return to school and their parents to return work to sustain corporate profit-making. The results could not be clearer. In California, children under 18 years old account for over 700,000 cases with nearly 10,000 infected each week.
In 2020, before the rollout of vaccines, Mayor Breed stated, “It is infuriating that our schools are not going to reopen for in-person learning in January. I can’t imagine how hard this is for our families and for our young people who haven’t been in the classroom since March and are falling further behind every single day. We should not be creating a false choice between education and a safe return to classrooms.” The fiction of a “safe” return to in-person instruction was demonstrated by California’s rate of pediatric COVID-19 hospitalizations soaring over eight-fold between June and September as schools fully reopened this fall.
Breed’s fury over the delay in reopening has played a role in her support for the recall election against three SFUSD school board members: Board President Gabriela López, Board Vice President Faauuga Moliga, and Commissioner Alison M. Collins. These individuals have backed the return to in-person instruction, but the recall campaign is being driven by a cabal of right-wing opponents of public education, in particular the two largest contributors, Arthur Rock and David Sacks.
Rock and his wife Toni Rembe Rock are enthusiastic supporters of Teach For America (TFA), an organization that regularly provides minimal training for inexperienced college graduates to become teachers at rock-bottom salaries.
Sacks is the co-author of The Diversity Myth: Multiculturalism and Political Intolerance on Campus. This book was published by the libertarian Independent Institute, which has supported climate change deniers. The book outlines “the transformation of Stanford University from an institution committed to preserving the values of Western civilization to one intent on engineering social change on campus to promote the dogmas of multiculturalism.” This right-wing diatribe is provided with a veneer of legitimacy by the equally right-wing identity politics pushed by members of the San Francisco Board of Education.
Alison Collins, a leading purveyor of identity politics on the Board of Education, made several anti-Asian statements on Twitter in 2016. When these tweets surfaced, she was removed from her position as vice president of the Board. She retaliated with an $87 million lawsuit intended to destroy public education in San Francisco. The case was thrown out of court by Federal Judge Haywood Gilliam, Jr., but only after the district had already squandered $125,000 in attorney fees and expenses fighting Collins’ lawsuit.
Earlier this year, the Board of Education decided that 44 schools would be renamed. Like George Orwell’s Newspeak in 1984, which was realized with “the elimination of ideologically undesirable words,” the Board decided to erase figures with “dishonorable legacies,” including Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison.
This despicable move was fought by half a dozen plaintiffs, including Laurence Tribe, a Harvard University professor emeritus, who denounced the denigration of Lincoln by stating, “I think it goes dangerously far when the Great Emancipator is treated as insufficiently woke.” In April, a Superior Court judge ordered the Board to reverse its vote and to pay $60,000 to cover the legal fees of the plaintiffs.
In 2019, the Board voted to cover a mural in George Washington High School by left-wing artist Victor Arnautoff, which they considered politically incorrect. At least $148,000 of education funds were spent on defending the censorship against legal challenges, but Judge Anne-Christine Massullo made a preliminary decision that the board violated state law, determining that the evidence supports the suit of the George Washington High School Alumni Association brought against the board.
Teachers and other school employees must rely on their own strength to defend their jobs and health. Concerned teachers should subscribe to the World Socialist Web Site Educators Newsletter and learn about the Educators Rank-and-File Safety Committee. Worldwide, the unions are functioning to defend profits against members and it is only by building independent rank-and-file committees that school employees and public education as a whole will have a future.
