Hellhole California takes drastic action against its progressive mayor

A crime-plagued California city may be one step closer to reversing its fortunes after taking drastic action against its progressive mayor.

Sheng Thao will face a historic recall election in November amid anger over her failure to get a grip on the situation in Oakland.
 
The progressive Democrat lawmaker is the first mayor in the city's history to be up for recall, after a campaign to oust her gained more than 40,000 signatures.

 'In just a year, Thao's incompetence and dishonesty accelerated Oakland's decline, causing longstanding businesses to close and generational families to leave,' the Oakland United to Recall Sheng Thao (OUST) campaign website states.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Among Sheng Thao's first actions as mayor was to can a police chief who was actually trying to make OPD an effective police force. IIRC, he's running for city council, which means it's at least possible that November's election could boot her out of office and vote him into office.

In the same context, Alameda County (of which Oakland is the county seat) DA Pamela Price is facing recall in November as well. Prog DA, Prog-voting county, but one of the strongest voices for giving her the boot is the Oakland NAACP. Somehow that branch of the NAACP noticed that the ones being hurt by emasculated policing and a DA who won't prosecute thefts and assaults and etc. is black people.

Buckle up and :2popcorn: :2popcorn: :2popcorn: .

Rut Row..

Agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation raided property owned by Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao Thursday morning, KRON4.com has confirmed. FBI agents arrived at Mayor Thao’s property in the 100 block of Maiden Lane in Oakland at 5:30 a.m., according to sources.

At approximately 10:07 a.m., several FBI agents could be seen walking out of the property carrying bags and boxes. The agents then got into their vehicles and left the scene. An FBI representative told KRON4 the location had been cleared.

These asian mayors seem to be in a bit of trouble...

The guy is a human bobblehead with close-set beady little eyes.  Guys like him are on Wanted Posters down at the post office not in the halls of congress.

Hope he gets his pencil-necked ass beat.

Sheng Thao is a woman, so maybe Wings' post immediately above was for another thread?

Yup,  To many windows open. :(

FBI raids home connected to Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao day after recall effort qualifies for ballot

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/fbi-raids-home-connected-to-oakland-mayor-sheng-thao-day-after-recall-effort-qualifies-for-ballot/ar-BB1oAYtg

Quote
The FBI on Thursday raided a home connected to Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao just a day after a recall campaign to oust her from office received enough signatures to qualify for the November ballot.

"The FBI is conducting court authorized law enforcement activity on Maiden Lane," a bureau spokesperson told Fox News Digital. "We are unable to provide additional information."

Property records indicate Thao is associated with the address 80 Maiden Lane in Oakland, California, though it does not appear she owns the property.

A November 2022 article by The Guardian stated Thao was the "first renter" to hold the position of Oakland Mayor.

As with any news report with incomplete info, it is confusing and probably has incorrect information. One point of confusion is whether Sheng Thao owns the property (perhaps part owner?) or rents it. Possibilities range from her or her live-in BF running a criminal operation out of her home, a renter running such an operation, or a neighbor in what appears on GoogStreet View to possibly be a multi-unit building doing so.

Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao's home raided by FBI agents; feds target other locations

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/oakland-mayor-sheng-thaos-home-raided-by-fbi-agents/ar-BB1oAFSw

FBI agents conducted an early-morning raid on the home of Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao Thursday morning, one of several federal raids on other properties in the city.

Agents served warrants at Thao's house on Maiden Lane in the city's Lincoln Highlands neighborhood at around 5:30 a.m.
...
Just after 10 a.m., several FBI agents emerged from the home carrying boxes as news crews staked out positions across the street. It was unclear what the agents were seeking or what was seized.

Federal agents also served warrants at a nearby home on Viewcrest Court in the city's Ridgemont neighborhood and at the Embarcadero offices shared by the Vietnamese American Business Association (VABA) and California Waste Solutions which manages the city's curbside recycling program.

The San Francisco Chronicle reported another search at the Skyline Boulevard home of VABA chairman David Duong, who is also CEO of California Waste Solutions.

I've heard that the IRS is also involved in the operation. Right now it sounds like an investigation into possible corruption in contract awards by the City of Oakland (and Sheng Thao's involvement therein).
