Welcome to zpub.com

A local San Francisco website since 1994 … and now based in the Bayview of SF  … an area of the city with good weather and parking.   

700+ views and counting.  Good Job Ed even though you consider yourself a Filmaker.

Election season finally over, Thank God:  I was kind of rooting for Kamala Harris but getting 2-3 mailings a week from the Harris campain asking for money to “Defend Democracy” was not much of a platform/vision …  and with over 1 billion$ in campaign contributions think she could have done better.  As for the Local election, Breed is out … could not even be bothered to reply to email/mail sent to her office … certainly not a Willie Brown style of politition who actually responed to USPS mail sent to him.   She will probably get appointed (by Newsom) to a state commission where she will collect $200,000 per year to attend 4 board meetings per year.  Such is politics.

Trump played the Trump card and won.  We will have to wait another day for the First Women President in the White House. And to think Dr. Jill did not even like her.  Life in the fast lane in the nation’s capital.  Wish Trump luck in the New Year of the Tiger.

The words “delay,” “deny” and possibly “depose” were written on the shell casings and bullets recovered at the scene, NYPD officials told CBS News on Thursday. The words were written meticulously in Sharpie, according to a source briefed on the investigation.  Gunman who killed Brian Thompson – CBS News. Dec 6  One day making over 10 mil a year and shot dead at 50 years old … guess there is Karma after all.   Steve Jobs died at 56 … guess you cannot take it with you.  And Biden promised not to pardon his son and did it anyway.

Tiz the season for giving … here are my recomendations if you have any extra cash to give:

Companies to avoid:  Walmart Online – they do not take back thier products and have crap quality customer service.  My advice is to never DO BUSINESS WITH WALMART ONLINE.  Amazon is much better option they take thier products back with no questions asked at Wole Foods. 
In memory of Kate Steinle …

Killing of Kate Steinle – July 1, 2015, 32-year-old Kathryn “Kate” Steinle was shot and killed while walking with her father and a friend along Pier 14 in the Embarcadero district of San Francisco. The guy that fired the shot that killed  her – a José Inez García Zárate of Guanajuato, Mexico, was an illegal immigrant who was deported from the U.S. a total of five times, most recently in 2009.  And got off scott free thanks to a George Soros district atternty …  Last words from Kate to her father, “I am dying” … so sad for what happened to a real human being being killed by an illegal in the US.  Hope Trump gets control of the border.  And to Gavin Newsom … you have never taken responsibility for giving unemployemet insurance payments to the people in your California prison system.  And Good luck on balancing the state budget.  California is not business friendly which is why the rich folks are leaving.

Wish everyone a  Great Holiday season and a Happy/prosperious New Year.
