Leftists contaminate everything they touch.
So while we have been hearing news of left-wing weirdness from cities such as Minneapolis, Buffalo, and St. Paul deciding to honor Somalia on America’s 250th, and Long Beach cancelling long-held ‘Big Bang by the Bay’ fireworks show, San Diego’s blue-city almost one-party rulers are always happy to bring up the rear.

I live in this town and here’s the mayor of San Diego, Todd Gloria, looking for all the world like Pee Wee Herman, touting gays as ‘trailblazers’:
It would have been a nice gesture if, for America’s 250th, @MayorToddGloria had flown the American flag in Balboa Park instead of the Progress Pride flag. This was posted four days ago, after Pride Month had ended.

Woke as they come, honoring gays, Indians, Pacific-Islanders, Asians, and of course stolen land, with not one word about America or the liberty, the freedom, the rule of law, the Consitution, or the visionary Founders and courageous signers of the Declaration of Independence, who that made this country great. Not one word. Just the usual dull guilt-tripping, in an act which has gotten old.
