Dear Friends and Gentle Readers,
     Some of my fellow combat Veterans who did a tour or more in RVN [The Republic of Vietnam in the late '60's to the mid-1970's] thought that we experienced some hardships and raw scenarios...  but they might come in 2nd place to these current affairs on the 'Left Coast--- 'Frisco' in April 2020.  But just maybe such views could be in some 3rd world prison system... that I have never been near, Thank God!   My dear wife and I think that we live in a beautiful paradise in the great Northern U.P. of upper Michigan, far, far away from the bowels of Detroit and the slums....  Thank God, again.  But even the pictures below cannot honestly describe the real horrors of what is going on inside the tents of the homeless where Nancy Pelosi rules... Ha!  What a bummer, guys.  What a sad tale!  What a nightmare!


Well,  at the very least, this all gives the Saints something to thank our Creator that we are not living in such nasty conditions, and this proves that there are indeed some places a lot more horrid to be.  I think that I've had a small taste of hell --- but nothing so vivid and forlorn.  


 And we would be smart to pray similar prayers like this one, at Jeremiah 10: 24, and elsewhere:  I have always thought that HUMILITY was the key, even if I didn't always posses it.  But it's the wise person who can see the errors of others and learn from them without experiencing the punishment personally.  It's like driving past a horrible traffic accident on the road with blood and guts in full view --- and learning how to pay attention and SLOW DOWN!  That is where the wisdom comes in.  And there are just too many valuable examples in the KJV Bible for us to learn from --- without falling head long into a 'stink pit' on the farm where they still have "out houses" --- because there are few left in the USA these days.  But I can surely remember my Grandpa's farm in S.W. Kansas when I was a young boy visiting. 


And who really knows what will happen in a few weeks when parts of our nation return to some sort of normalcy if there can even be a normal rest of the year for most of us.  I personally know what it's like to start up my own small business when I had my own Welding Shop, plus a good paying job at Chrysler Corp., in Kenosha, WI., but it took years to fully supply all the expensive tools and equipment for my shop and upgrade the 220 electrical in the garage.  But just think about other kinds of investments like a person's primary dwelling place -- His/ Her House.  How many Americans lost their houses during this Coronavirus season and cannot afford to buy another house in their life time?  Or, if the main 'Bread winner' gets sick and dies before his time and the spouse is left behind without substantial income or dwelling?  People will feel the pain for many years to come....  except Nancy Pelosi and her expensive freezers full of ice cream that she just had to show off to the public!   Does she 'sit on her brains??' 


I just hope that our collective memories hold out when it's time to vote this November of 2020. 


So today is "Earth Day."


Warm Regards,
Thomas G Schuckman

Heartbreaking Video Shows That Coronavirus Isn’t Slowing the Destruction of San Francisco

In almost any situation, learning through direct personal experience is preferable to learning from photos, videos, or a verbal description of another person’s experience. (Walking off of a cliff being one notable exception.)
Knowing this, San Francisco-based writer Erica Sandberg has been organizing what she calls “see for yourself/think for yourself” walks through her city so regular residents can take in the sights, sounds, and smells of the homeless crisis for themselves and not rely upon the curated experiences of activists, politicians, and the mainstream media. Even more importantly, her tours are not narrated, allowing participants to draw their own conclusions about what they’re viewing.

yesterday I made an offer to take walks in the most desperate, filthy, lawless, drug-ridden parts of SF. not as a tourist, but as a caring citizen/journalist. 8 people accepted! feel free to DM me – especially if we disagree on causes/solutions. we need to come together.

What they’re all seeing is terrifying and a city “spiraling out of control.”
San Francisco residents have been subject to a “shelter in place” order since March 17, but most of the restrictions in the order don’t apply to people “experiencing homelessness.” From what Sandberg has witnessed, drug dealing and abuse hasn’t been affected in any way. On April 19 she wrote (emphasis added):

SF is in ruins. I’ve just started leading “see for yourself/think for yourself” walks around the Tenderloin [a neighborhood in SF] and beyond. SFPD gave me an escort, so two officers in a squad car were always 1/2 block away. This is all around City Hall. Even with the escort it was the only place I felt safe enough to take pics. That’s because cops were ensuring that tents were spaced out enough. What they couldn’t do is stop the flow of drugs. In EVERY tent people were either actively injecting or had just done so. Dealers were prolific.
There is a strange and false orderliness to this pic. All around it is utter chaos. Naked people crawling around in their own waste. People screaming, crying, passed out, fighting… it’s mayhem. And it’s all drugs and the mental illness that goes with it. But don’t believe me. Walk with me and I won’t say a word. Or go on your own. Just – please – don’t believe what you read from city leaders. It’s all false. The entire city is spiraling out of control.

Many of us (including myself) have seen so many videos and photos of the disgusting conditions in San Francisco that we’re becoming immune to the horror and third-world sanitation. This video, taken during one of Sandberg’s walks on April 19, will shock even the most hardened observers:
