Nolte: San Francisco Whole Foods Made 568 Emergency Calls Before Closing
Over 13 months, the recently shuttered Whole Foods in Democrat-run San Francisco made 568 emergency calls, reports the far-left New York Times.
In other words, there were 568 emergency calls in fewer than 400 days—an average of more than one emergency call per day.
Can you imagine?
Last month, Breitbart News reported on the closing of this Whole Foods store only a year or so after it opened. We knew then that the Democrat-run city’s ongoing collapse was the cause. San Francisco’s elected Democrats have allowed violent crime, property crime, drug addiction, and vagrancy to destroy the City by the Bay. Also chasing away retailers is the Democrat party’s decision to all but legalize shoplifting. If that’s not bad enough, on top of the massive shoplifting losses, an overall sense of lawlessness attracts the worst kind of people.
Well, now we know working at this Whole Foods must have been something of a nightmare, a terrifying nightmare where bodily harm was a daily threat:
[T]he store was soon confronted head-on with many of the problems plaguing the area. People threatened employees with guns, knives and sticks. They flung food, screamed, fought and tried to defecate on the floor, according to records of 568 emergency calls over 13 months, many depicting scenes of mayhem.
“Male w/machete is back,” the report on one 911 call states. “Another security guard was just assaulted,” another says. A man with a four-inch knife attacked several security guards, then sprayed store employees with foam from a fire extinguisher, according to a third.
This Whole Foods, a “giant flagship store,” was, according to the Times, “supposed to cater to tech workers and other professionals, part of a long-term redevelopment plan downtown.” Then the reality of life in a Democrat-run city hit the store, and the location “fell victim to a grinding decline in the city’s center that began with the pandemic and could continue for years as companies vacate offices because of remote work.”
Those San Francisco merchants trying to hold out told the Times they worry “about a domino effect of commercial failures if office workers are permanently absent for about half of the week, while people using drugs, going through mental crises or living on the street remain more visible than ever.”
Yes, as the article points out, Frisco has gone through booms and busts. This time, it’s different. Very different. Those previous downturns were economic busts—the tech collapse in 2000, earthquakes… This bust is self-inflicted. San Francisco Democrats have all but legalized property crime, while violent crime is rarely punished, if at all.
California is also a sanctuary state flooded with illegal aliens and fentanyl, which contributes to the state’s addiction crisis, which in turn contributes to crime, vagrancy, and homelessness.
So, this isn’t some outside force knocking Frisco on its heels. Everything destroying the city is coming from inside the house… Democrats are passing terrible laws, enacting terrible policies, brutalizing productive citizens with insanely high taxes and ridiculous regulations, and refusing to build enough homes to 1) decrease the cost of housing and 2) alleviate homelessness.
Cities ravaged from the inside like this rarely recover, and when they do, it’s because they come to their senses and elect a Republican like Rudy Giuliani.
The only way these cities will be saved is if Democrats—politicians and voters—admit they were wrong. And as we have seen for decades in places like Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit, Houston, New Orleans, Oakland, Cleveland, St. Louis, and Memphis (I could go on), that will never happen.
Democrats would rather watch their city implode, and their voters live in hell than do the right thing.
For those tired of living like this, MAGA Land awaits… We’ve already created everything the left says they want: racial harmony; clean and safe air, water, and streets; no mass shootings or homeless crises; fewer per capita hate crimes than Democrat-run cities… Life is good in MAGA Land. Y’all want to destroy your cities; feel free. We don’t live there.

Lightfoot to Gov. Abbott: Stop Sending Migrants to Chicago — ‘We Are Completely Tapped Out’
Outgoing Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot said Monday on “CNN This Morning” that Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) should stop sending immigrants to her city.
Discussing a letter she sent to the governor, Lightfoot said, “We have not heard anything back. And frankly, I didn’t expect to hear anything back, but I felt like it was important to once again try to engage the governor, but also let him know what his policies and practices are doing in cities like Chicago. We are completely tapped out. We have no more space. No more resources. And frankly, we’re already in a surge. We’ve been seeing over the last two to three weeks, 200 plus people coming to Chicago every single day. We call them walk-ins, because they’re not coming on buses, but they are coming on planes from San Antonio, and we’re very concerned, because they don’t seem like they’re getting screened at the border. We’ve seen people coming with serious medical issues.”
She continued, “What’s getting lost in what the governor is doing is the fact that these are human beings. In any other emergency, you would be coordinating. You would be collaborating. You would be talking about specifically what the needs of the people are. We’ve seen people come off of these buses that he has sent who are victims of sexual assault, who have serious medical conditions that can’t be dealt with by the paramedics that we have on-site. They’ve got to be rushed to the hospital. Women who are in such an advanced stage of labor that they literally get off the bus and give birth within one of our facilities. That doesn’t make any sense.
Lightfoot added, “So if we don’t put the humanity of these migrants front and center — I understand, and I’m solely compassionate to the fact that the borders are themselves really overrun, but you don’t solve that problem by simply sticking people on buses to a city that they didn’t ask to, for an uncertain future, and now we are literally full.”

Texas mass shooter was a five-times-deported illegal alien
Friday's heinous, execution-style murder of five Honduran nationals in Cleveland, Texas, by a repeatedly deported Mexican illegal alien, will probably not see saturation coverage by the press the way the immigrant-hating fiend who shot up an El Paso mall in 2019 was covered.
But it should be.
What was this monster (FBI's words, not mine) doing in this country?
According to Fox News's Bill Melugin and Brie Stimson:
A suspect on the run in Texas after allegedly killing five neighbors execution-style Friday night when they complained about him firing a rifle on his property has been deported from the country five times, a source from ICE told Fox News Digital.
The FBI said Sunday afternoon authorities have "no leads" in the search for Francisco Oropesa, 38, a Mexican national who is accused of the quintuple murder in Cleveland, Texas, outside Houston.
Oropeza's last deportation, after four earlier ones, was in 2016. Note that it takes a lot of legal heavy lifting to get even one deportation enacted. Oropeza had to have already done something very bad for it to happen, and many of those deportations probably would have occurred during the Obama years. which was very reluctant to deport illegals other than criminals. Yet the deportations happened five times, the final time of which was during the Trump administration. After that, he bounced back into the states, either during the Trump or Biden years, and either learned to lay low during the Trump years, or else simply got in without consequences during the open-border Biden years. He may have come and gone several times.
Lawmen usually catch guys who commit mass shootings, but because of Oropeza's history as a practiced, experienced, illegal, they may have significant trouble catching him this time. He's obviously pretty experienced in evading detection as a "gotaway," given that his last deportation was in 2016. That should make the manhunt for him even harder. Investigators said they lost the scent of his trail at a river, which he obviously knew would wash off all traces of it. He blundered in leaving behind his Mexican-issued "consular card" but surviving witnesses also could have identified him.
How did he get hold of an AR-15 and possibly other weapons as an illegal with a likely criminal record?
Did he deal drugs? Was he in a cartel? Someone that cold-blooded, who could shoot up a neighbor's yard and then hunt down the neighbors after they asked him to stop, going room by room, in order to shoot dead women protecting babies "execution-style"certainly could have been. Normal people can't do that. Soulless, dead-eyed cartel enforcers can.
Why wasn't he a deportation "priority," as the Obamatons claimed in their enforcement efforts supposedly focused on "aggravated felons"?
Oropeza also reportedly had a wife and family here. Was he shielded by the Biden prioritization around not breaking up families?
And how did he get in this time? Might the Biden administration's open border policies have something to do with this? As many as a million people are now massing at the U.S. border and on 5/11, with the dropping of Title 42 allowing instant explusions based on pandemic considerations, and Joe Biden is going to let nearly all of them all in on catch-and-release 'parole.' Might this be a problem?
As the millions mass, U.S. estimates of the number of illegal border crossers who amount to "gotaways" at more than one million during Biden's time in office.
The U.S. also reports record-low deportations during Biden's administration.
All of these things may very likely factor into why this monster was allowed to walk among us, killing five innocent people, and escaping as a fugitive the same way he evaded the border.
The message being sent as a result of Joe's open border is that anyone -- anyone -- can get in. And they are.

What's more, Mexico generally benefits from shipping its surplus uneducated population to the states to take the pressure valve off the potential for unrest. Corrupt Mexican officials often reap "fees" from letting illegal migrants from other countries as well as their own pass through their territory. MONICA SHOWALTER

Under Mayorkas, deaths due to drug overdoses topped 100,000 for the first time ever, the vast majority from fentanyl, imported from China and Mexico across our southern border.”
GRAPHIC PHOTO EXCLUSIVE: Seven Cartel Gunmen Killed in Western Mexican State Clashes
Seven cartel gunmen died and several other individuals sustained gunshot wounds during a series of shootouts in western Mexico. The region experienced several days of fighting as gunmen from La Familia Michoacana fought against gunmen from Cartel Jalisco New Generation.
The violence took place on Monday when gunmen from a cell from La Familia Michoacana clashed with gunmen from Cartel Jalisco New Generation (CJNG) near the town of Tlalpujahua in the eastern part of Michoacan. In that clash, multiple gunmen died, however, details of the confrontation have not been released by Mexican authorities. Breitbart Texas obtained photographs of the convoys of gunmen showing over a dozen vehicles moving along the rural roads in Michoacan.
Soon after that shootout, a group of Mexican Army soldiers made their way to the region to intercept the gunmen. A group of gunmen from CJNG ambushed the soldiers near Ciudad Hidalgo, Michoacan. During that shootout, the military forces claim the gunmen were riding in three vehicles when the attack took place.
According to information released by the Mexican Army, the soldiers fought off the attack. During the fighting, one soldier died. In their statement, the military claims six gunmen also died in the shootout.
Photographs from the clashes in the region point to some of the gunmen having been killed inside buildings and not in the three SUVs as described by military reports. It remains unclear if those gunmen were killed in the previous shootout.
The eastern part of Michoacan experienced numerous shootouts in recent months as factions of La Familia Michoacana continue fighting against CJNG over control of drug trafficking and drug production areas in the region.
