(NationalSentinel) Thanks to Left-wing Democratic policies that reward bad behavior, a number of California’s biggest cities are becoming cesspools of trash and disease as the state teeters on becoming our first “third-world” enclave.
Earlier this month, The Los Angeles Times reported that rats had infested city hall thanks to all the local dumping and build-up of trash and homeless camps:
When faced with complaints earlier this year from city workers about rats infesting L.A. City Hall, most city officials said little about whether the problem was connected to several homeless camps right outside.
But a newly uncovered report from a pest control company hired by the city has raised fresh questions about whether officials wrongly downplayed that possibility during discussions at City Council meetings.
CatsUSA Pest Control, brought in to assess areas outside City Hall and nearby buildings, warned that homeless people create “harborage for rodents,†according to the report issued Dec. 28 and obtained last month through a public records request by a frequent critic of City Hall.
The company said it found “poor sanitary conditions†— including leftover food, human waste and hypodermic needles — and recommended that the city clear away the homeless population living in the Civic Center.
TownHall’s Matt Vespa adds: “Dr. Drew Pinsky said this month that there has been a total and complete breakdown of services in the city that has placed the population at risk of infection and other health-related issues. The mayor’s office has sought to shift blame away from the homeless, citing the illegal dumping of trash, which only adds to the narrative that deep blue California and LA are just Democratic cesspools.”
“We have a complete breakdown of the basic needs of civilization in Los Angeles right now,” Pinsky told Fox News. “Third world countries are insulted if they are accused of being like this. No city on Earth tolerates this. The entire population is at risk.”
What’s more, L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti is in denial, meaning the problem is only bound to get worse. According to CBS Los Angeles, he’s not blaming the city’s homeless, but rather the illegal dumping of trash.
“Most of the things we saw in the news recently are from illegal dumping, not from homeless folks, so it’s also important not to blame folks that are living on the streets for everything that we see,” said Garcetti.
In other words, Los Angelenos are supposed to pretend that one problem — homelessness — doesn’t cause or lead to they others — dumping of trash, presence of used hypodermic needles, rising disease, rat infestations, etc.
And this can’t be said enough: Let us never forget these enclaves are all due to Democrat policies.
Which begs the question: Why do Californians who live in these cities continue voting for the same policies, the same Democrats, over and over again while expecting a different result?
That’s the textbook definition of “insanity.”

This is what they wanted. They can stew in their own juices.
Years ago I dreamed of moving to California. Glad the dream didn’t come through.
Beautful weather. Screwed up politics. Such a shame.
California = Guatemala. Liberals destroy everything they touch. Until CA residents restore Republicans, this will get worse. No debate about that.
But but but California is the 5th largest economy in the world. Just ask any liberal Californian. You won’t have any trouble finding one as they outnumber conservatives at 10 to 1. When you ask them to explain it they will support the ‘deer caught in the headlights’ look and then start foaming at the mouth while personally berating you.
AS the rats continue to desert this sinking/reeking ship please do not bring you pestilence to my state….go south where you would feel more at home.
I hope you mean south of the border. As a southerner in a red state I do not want them to bring their stupidity and politics to Texas – we already have to deal with the Castro twins, Beto O’Rourke and too many others.
Got some sad news for you filismom, Texas is already infected with California liberalism and it’s probably already fatal.
So glad I got out of that hell hole.
Isn’t DEMOCRAT SOCIALISM wonderful?
#neversocialist
#neverdemocrat
Me too.
The question: “…Why do Californians who live in these cities continue voting for the same policies, the same Democrats, over and over again…” may not be valid, the real question is: “What do the democRats promise to give the voters?”, “Do the politicians live in ‘gated’ community’s separate from the real people they are supposed to serve?
I think that’s the case. I understand Nancy Pelosi lives on a gated estate outside of San Francisco complete with (likely) illegals to service their vineyard and who knows what else. I think it would be really entertaining if creeps like Nancy and Kamala each got a good case of typhoid fever as a reward for all of their phony virtue-signaling.
Answer 1. They are insane. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over with the same failed results each time in the expectation it will suddenly change for the better.
Answer 2. If they vote for them everything will be free and turn out fine.
Answer 3. Yes, the do. Ask Nancy and Maxine.
Any more questions?
Voting in CA is rigged. Votes go their way and when they don’t, they sue in the courts and win. If you don’t think this is coming your way – be warned! CA is merely the testing ground. Don’t sit on your laurels. We do have a plan! http://www.newcaliforniastate.com It’s coming and the momentum is on our side. We are following the constitution like West Virginia when they separated from Virginia. Keep us in your prayers!
Makes Tiajuana of thirty years ago look good, and I thought it was terrible then.
Illegal immigrants have turned California into the American Nightmare! Beware, your state is next – as California goes, so goes the nation.
I hate to disagree with you but Californian citizens did it. Beware the pestilent man from California. Not only will he destroy his world but he shall destroy yours. Sage advice from an intelligent ape.

The states bordering California need to take possession of the Colorado river water as well as commitments of water to Mexican states of Sonora and Baja. California is getting way too much of the Colorado river water. I think much of it goes to the Central Valley. Los Angeles is almost totally dependent on Colorado River water as well as agricultural use. That needs to end. California is using 20% more of the Colorado River water than it is entitled too under prior agreements. They need to force California to live within the water use commitments they are entitled to… Read more »

State Governor – Democrat.
SF Mayor – Democrat
LA Mayor – Democrat
What else can be expected? Democrats screw up everything they touch.
“I understand Nancy Pelosi lives on a gated estate outside of San Francisco complete with (likely) illegals to service their vineyard and who knows what else.”
A WALLED estate to be exact, but she says walls don’t work. Mad Maxipad Waters also lives in a mostly white gated (walled) community far away from the poverty ridden slums and the people there she represents. Look up hypocrite in the dictionary and it will say, “hypocrite – anyone who is a member of the DeomcRATic party”.
They can now start being a pilot project on strategies to repair broken cities after Democrat rule.
Hopefully Newsome will touch the right one!

In the present time, much of California is turning into… Read more »
So glad I went to San Francisco many years ago before it became a cesspool of failed leftist programs. 10 years ago, it was getting bad and that was the last time I ventured into this once great and beautiful city.
There has been serious discussion of a return of the bubonic plague due to the filth around city hall. Head east for a few miles and you’re in Tijuana north. This your city on democrats.
Who says we keep voting the same way? There is massive voter fraud in this state and no one cares. If trump really wanted to do something great for this country, he would assign a task force to clean up the vote fraud, but he won’t. I’ve been a victim of it 3 times. The last 3 times I’ve voted, they told me they couldn’t find me on the voter rolls and to go to another polling station. All 3 times I forced them to open the roll book and I found my name plain as day. They send people… Read more »

You deserve what you tolerate.
He has already said he is going to clean it up. There is no way he will lose the election in 2020 because of Illegal votes. Judaical Watch found a lot of cheating. Their cheating has been exposed and the cleanup will begin. I can bet that many results will be disqualified because of not just Illegal votes, but too many votes compared to eligible voters in the area.
This is the Kalergi Plan. https://www.disclose.tv/the-kalergi-plan-the-real-reason-that-the-european-union-is-so-hostile-to-donald-trump-311329 If this gets horrible and the diseases start to spread across the border, then the Federal Government can issue a warning and if the diseases keep coming across the border, the Federal Government can declare a National state of emergency and then step in and take over the state. Then they can move the military in and forcefully remove all Illegals and legal immigrants harboring Illegals, which is many and why there is actually around 50 million Illegals in the US. The cleanup will happen because of these idiots running the states. But, also… Read more »
