If you’re going to San Francisco
51 years ago, or what they used to call “the summer of love”, Scott McKenzie had a song in the music charts about San Francisco.
It was a tune about love and flowers and became the “hippie” hymn or so I heard in a History or Rockn’ Roll show.
If you’re going to San Francisco these days , please see this headline because you won’t be greeted anymore by gentle people with flowers in their hair: “Major Medical Convention Abandons San Francisco Citing Street Safety“.
This is from from the article:
Tourism is big business in San Francisco, bringing in $9 billion dollars a year to the city’s businesses.
Now, a major medical convention expected to bring in 15,000 visitors and drop $40 million in less than a week has decided it will stop bringing its members to the City by the Bay because they don’t feel safe walking the streets.
The decline of San Francisco is another exhibit in the decline of liberalism, or better put a philosophy where “anything goes” and everybody is a victim of something.
Like the black on black shootings in Chicago, the problems of San Francisco are largely ignored by the media. I guess that it’s not convenient to talk about blacks killing each or drug addicts on the streets when the Democrats run a city.
It makes sense that conventions are looking for another city. Why would you want to visit an unsafe city? My guess is other cancellations will follow.

June 2007: The Roberts Court is doing great!
A post from June 2007:
Presidents come and go. However, the Supreme Court Justices survive them.
There are disputes over Iraq and immigration. However, the Roberts Court is working out exactly as advertised.
This is a conservative court! Cheers for President Bush's appointments of Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Alito.
There were three important decisions this week.
The first one limited the rights of citizens to sue over perceived violations of the separation of church and state.
The second one supported high school authorities who suspended a student over a banner they said challenged their anti-drug message.
Also, there is the ruling to uphold the law banning a controversial late-term abortion procedure.
All of these were 5-4 votes, another sing that Pres. Bush has made a difference.

Chief Justice Roberts is a young man. He will write many more rulings. However, so far so good!
Conservatives may be angry with President Bush over immigration. However, they have to love his Supreme Court appointments and their conservative opinions!

June 2007: Ann Coulter has a point about John Edwards!
A post from June 2007:
They are both silly!
Nevertheless, Coulter has a point about Mr. Edwards (That was no lady -- That was my husband)
It was silly for John Edwards, who is afraid to appear on Fox News because MoveOn.org won't let him, to send his wife against Anne!
Edwards should defend himself!
It reminds me of Bill Clinton sending Hillary to talk about the "right wing conspiracy".

What if Lopez-Obrador becomes Trump’s secret admirer?
Down in Mexico, “Presidente-electo” Andres Lopez-Obrador is singing a conciliatory tune. I think that he understands that the other 47% of the people who split their vote between three centrists are concerned that he meant what he said during the campaign. Words matter, as we say up here.
According to the Yucatan Times, the early signs may mean trouble for Mexico and “El Presidente Electo” who won’t assume the presidency until December 1st:
Initial euphoria over Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador’s landslide victory soured as the dollar’s gain jolted investors back to the reality that the country’s first leftist president in recent times may alter its economic model.The peso declined as much as 1.3 percent after results of the Sunday elections signaled his Morena party was set to enjoy broad support in Congress.The victory came with a commanding lead for Lopez Obrador, showing a strong mandate for his policies. Stocks also slipped, along with the country’s dollar-denominated notes.Investors are concerned that under Lopez Obrador, the privatization of the energy industry will be rolled back, and spending on social programs will push the country into debt.In a victory speech following the vote, the 64-year-old struck a unifying tone while saying that his government will give preference to the poor.The peso’s drop in the second quarter was the biggest since 2014.While analysts said it may be a few days before the makeup of congress is clarified, Eurasia Group said Lopez Obrador’s large margin of victory suggests his party would have a strong position in both houses and be able to attract support from smaller parties as well.Among his proposals are a halt to a $13 billion airport project, the rollback of a historic opening of the energy industry and an expansive fiscal program.
It may be an insignificant early reaction, but the peso fell. It may stop falling, so let’s not overreact but a falling peso is always traumatic for Mexicans who remember 1976, 1982, and 1994, the big three devaluations of recent memory.
My guess is that “El presidente electo” knows that his presidency can’t take much peso erosion.
I lived in Mexico in 1982 when the pre-1994 peso went from 26 (to a US dollar) in August to 150 by the end of the year. I learned a big lesson: Mexicans will always bet against their currency or exchange their pesos into dollars.
To be honest, Mexico is better prepared for peso erosion today because they’ve let the currency float since the late 1990s. Nevertheless, nothing scares the Mexican middle class more than the peso losing value.
In other words, President Lopez-Obrador will need a stable peso and economy. He cannot accomplish that without a strong U.S. economy. Mexico’s new president will need for President Trump’s economic plan to succeed across the board. He may be a public Trump critic but deep inside he will become his secret admirer.
Trump’s economic success will mean Mexico’s economic success. President Lopez-Obrador can not deliver a single promise unless Mexico’s economy grows.
Guess who will be cheering on President Trump? Mexico’s “Presidente electo”! Suddenly, he needs Trump to succeed!

World Cup 2018: US TV ratings down big...........
According to the article, Telemundo is averaging 1.96 million viewers or down 26 percent from 2014.
It's true that US soccer fans are disappointed because there is no national team. However, real fans are international soccer fans. Where are the Spanish speaking fans in the US who follow Mexico, Argentina, Brazil and others? Apparently, they are not watching either!
Let's see what happens now that we are down to 8 teams.
