San Francisco and Washington, D.C., have finally come to their senses and are stepping up their crime-fighting game after years of wishy-washy lenient policies. About time, right?
Deep Blue Bastions Shift Gears Toward Tougher Crime Policy https://t.co/obfwxvnAju via @dailycaller

In a surprising twist, San Francisco voters actually saw the light and approved tough-on-crime measures backed by Mayor London Breed. It’s like a unicorn sighting! These measures, Propositions E and F, give police more power to go after suspects and crack down on drug use by welfare recipients. It’s refreshing to see some common sense prevail in a city that was once known for its, shall we say, questionable approach to law enforcement.
And get this – Mayor Breed, who once rode the defund-the-police bandwagon, did a complete 180 when faced with some actual challenges. Looks like reality finally caught up with her. It’s a good reminder that even the most fervent liberals can see the light when crime rates start to climb. Let’s hope this newfound backbone sticks around.
Meanwhile, over in Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser and the city council are also waking up to the fact that maybe, just maybe, their soft-on-crime approach wasn’t working out so well. The “Secure DC Omnibus Amendment Act of 2024” brings back tough measures to tackle rising crime rates, including cracking down on organized retail theft and loitering. It’s about time someone put their foot down!
With violent crime on the rise and communities feeling the heat, it’s heartening to see these cities finally taking a stand against lawlessness. Maybe there’s hope for them yet. Let’s just hope they stick to their guns and don’t backpedal when the going gets tough. Here’s to law and order making a comeback in the land of liberal dreams!
