San Francisco, amid all the craziness and filth, was still celebrating their Fleet Week this week, as they have been since 1981. Many of the spectators told the local news station they were truly happy to be back in the city for their first time since the pandemic shut everything down. All were looking forward to a great time “on the green” watching the airshow and the parade of U.S. Navy and Coast Guard ships, ensigns aloft and with their sailors manning the rails. It should have been a really festive time, but Karl the Fog had different plans.

He made viewing a challenging operation on the practice days…

…and wound up forcing the Blues to cancel their Sunday main show due to completely socked-in conditions.

…After completing Friday and Saturday’s air shows, the Blue Angels were forced to cancel Sunday’s show due to foggy weather conditions. Fleet Week continues Monday with events that include U.S. Navy and Coast Guard ship tours at the piers and a High School Band Challenge in Golden Gate Park.

Due to the weather conditions, we are unable to perform today at the San Francisco Fleet Week Air Show. We want to send a special thank you to the city of San Francisco for the hospitality and we are looking forward to clearer skies next year, at San Francisco Fleet Week 2023!

There sure were a bunch of disappointed people, but, being San Francisco, there’s always someone in a position of authority who gets a kick out of raining on anyone’s happy, MILITARY pride parade. That curmudgeon this year is named Dean Preston, a District Supervisor and self-described…can you guess? Socialist.

The Blue Angels should not be allowed to fly over San Francisco. That's it. That's the tweet.

In classic Socialist fashion, Supervisor Preston just did the equivalent of a drive-by shooting – snarked at everyone’s disappointment, and then refused to elaborate why he was so opposed to the Navy’s precision flying squad. Such a squalidly chicken poop SJW move, and classic.

…Preston did not elaborate further on why he decided to take issue with the U.S. Navy’s fighter jet demonstration squadron and his office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

He wouldn’t talk to local station KRON, either. BWAWK BWAWK BWAWK

Perhaps, just perhaps, he remembers what happened the last time San Francisco loud and self-righteously denied the military a chance to use its sacred Socialist soil for a marketing opportunity, and it bit them in the keyster. They probably still have egg remnants glued to faces from that PR disaster, Well, I remembered and that’s why I snorted a little when I read his comment. Maybe you remember, too.

Let’s set the WayBack machine for 2007: The United States Marine Corps is looking for venues to film a new commercial and asked the city of San Francisco for permission to film. In full-throated umbrage at the nerve of the Marines, the city responded accordingly:

NO.

…New York said “yes,” but we said “no.” Why were the U.S. Marines denied permission to film a recruiting commercial on the streets of San Francisco?

San Francisco is, once again, the center of a controversy over how city leaders treat the U.S. military. This time, it involves an elite group of Marines who wanted to film a recruitment commercial in San Francisco on the anniversary of 9/11.

The tension has been building in the two weeks since the city turned away members of the Silent Drill Platoon, and it boiled over Monday afternoon at a meeting of the San Francisco Film Commission.

The film commission was willing to compromise and allow them to film…as long as there weren’t any Marines on the street. The Marine Corps said “Thank you anyway” and went about their business. 10 different states and 15 different locations later, filming what is known as “America’s Marines,” quite possibly the most poignant, inspiring, and beautiful Marine Corps commercial ever made. I choke up every single time. The icing on the cake? The last images are of the Silent Drill Team at Golden Gate National Recreation Area overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge and at Kirby Cove, beneath it – against a fog bank concealing the city. And they are stunning.

Dang. There I go again.
