The Arts in San Francisco …

• Minnesota Projects … They seem to be leading the way for Arts in the City … lots of Events and support for Artists … Minnesota Street Project Foundation, 1150 25th Street, San Francisco, CA 94107
• If you have some extra cash and are interestered in supporting arts in SF, consider making a donation to the Graphic Arts Workshop .   It was founded in 1952 by faculty and artists from the California Labor School and is one of the last remaining printmaking studios in the city.   2565 3rd St. #305 San Francisco, CA 94107

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 … may you rot in Hell, Mr. Soros. (b1930 (age 93)) – with all your riches … you could have done better in life to make the world a better place.  So, Mr. Soros – what do you think of Netanyahu and the Isreal zion Project?

Maling address for Geaorge Soros:

Atten:  George Soros  Open Society Foundations
224 West 57th Street
New York, NY 10019, United States

Last words to Kate’s father, “I am dying” … so sad – you politicians in Sacramento and Washington DC need to do a better job and not have the blood on your hands of a 32 year old women shot killed by an illegal immigrant.  Get your act together and stop focusing on enriching your family dynasties – and do quality government work for a change.
