“There has been some important and courageously won progression in recent years. Trans people—especially trans people of color—still live with unacceptably high levels of poverty, lack of health access, lack of stable housing and violence. San Francisco can continue to play a critical leadership role.”

Yesterday Mayor London Breed and the San Francisco, California, and the city launched a new program that will supply a month a check to residents who register as transgender.

The Guaranteed Income for Trans People (GIFT) program has begun starting to accept applications since November 15th, and closing by the 15th of December. However only 55 people will be able to collect one of these recurring payments.

Guaranteed Income for Transgender People (G.I.F.T.) will provide economically marginalized transgender people with unrestricted, monthly guaranteed income as a way to combat poverty our most impacted community members face.

The Transgender District and Lyon-Martin Community Health Services, in partnership with municipal city departments in the City and County of San Francisco, will provide 55 Transgender residents of San Francisco County with $1,200 a month in guaranteed income for a year and a half.

The program will prioritize enrollment of Transgender, Non-Binary, Gender Non-Conforming, and Intersex (TGI) people who are also Black, Indigenous, or People of Color (BIPOC), experiencing homelessness, living with disabilities and chronic illnesses, youth and elders, monolingual Spanish-speakers, and those who are legally vulnerable such as TGI people who are undocumented, engaging in survival sex trades, ​or are formerly incarcerated.

Transgender District President Aria Sa’id said in a statement:

By giving low-income trans people the resources to cover the expenses they deem most immediate and important given each person’s unique situation, we are implementing a truly community-centered intervention to combat poverty.

There has been some important and courageously won progression in recent years. Trans people—especially trans people of color—still live with unacceptably high levels of poverty, lack of health access, lack of stable housing and violence. San Francisco can continue to play a critical leadership role.

Roger Doughty, executive director of LGBTQ community service provider Horizons, added

The San Francisco Standard wrote, ‘Trans communities in California face higher financial barriers compared with the general population. The last U.S. Trans Survey in 2015 found that 30% of transgender Californians were living in poverty, with trans people of color accounting for a disproportionate number.’

‘GIFT will be the city’s third guaranteed income program, joining the Abundant Birth Project and the Guaranteed Income Pilot for Artists program, which provide basic income for Black and Pacific Islander pregnant people and artists, respectively,’ the outlet added.

We will keep building on programs like this to provide those in the greatest need with the financial resources and services to help them thrive.

As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the LORD; so shall no man abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell therein.

Jeremiah 50:40

The Lord is soon to repay the wages of sin and abominations, for the destruction of California and this nation as a whole. This is 55 people way too many.


[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

  • I truly think that either China or Russia maybe North Korea will send their troops to America (some think Russia, but I think China is more likely) and California will be the first if not one of the first states to have foreign troop boots on U.S. soil.

    Both conservative and liberal states as well as the so-called Bible Belt are going to suffer God’s righteous indignation; however California is in a league of its own and it’s going to suffer the worst.

    I’m betting California will be conquered by China and become officially Chinese territory and I say “it’s all yours!”

    Has anybody heard recently of the Los Angeles sheriff’s office recruits killed by a speeding vehicle? That was a terrorist attack!

  • That’s one way to sort out those most worshipful of Mammon & with the spirit of Sodom! But we know from the word that God is most interested in judging those persons& causes promoting these destructive things behind the scenes.

    Longsuffering as 2 Peter 3:7, though that longsuffering has its end. Ezekiel 1-10, 2 Thessalonians 2…Ezekiel 8 and John 8 KJB. He had way more compassion on the repentant prostitute & tax collector, the serial adulteress Samaritan of John 4….the deceived & exploited, than he did for the consciously deceiving & exploiters: Pharisees, Sadduccees, Herodians, scribes and lawyers driving, riding and exploiting the sins of others for their own illegitimate gain & power.

    Presuming. Sorcerers. Liars. Wouldbe ‘gods’. Those ‘consciously evolving’ , ‘progressing’ things, and hastening judgment. Matthew 23; Luke 11 KJB.

    I was struck when examining scripture during some recent preaching on how people become so reprobate, receiving the temptations, flattery & lies….scripture wresting…of Satan as do those sorcerers/manipulators of reality and mighty men of empire. They take what offers of Satan which Jesus showed us to reject in Matthew & Luke 4, the accounts of his own temptation by Satan.

    Matthew 8:17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.

    Hebrews 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
    ———————————-
    What struck me was not only the truth of that…but the differing order in the temptations given in Matthew which is addressed primarily to the Jew, and in Luke, which is addressed primarily to the Greek & Gentile, those prone to humanist idolatries, the kingdom of man. All scripture for us (2 Tim 3 KJB) but we’re still supposed to pay attention to context & distinctions, rightly dividing etc.

    I believe this ties in to the warning of Romans 9-11, and the two synagogues of Satan in Revelation 2:9 and 3:9 KJB. Those entrusted with the oracles of God & the Gospel both failing in the majority, bringing the judgment of God upon themselves….taking glory to themselves, & ascribing it to idols, which is due only to God.

    Also relating to earthly Jerusalem, with the heavenly Jerusalem our mother.

    Revelation 11:8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.

    One is the circumcision, the unbelieving Jew…and the other is the ‘replacement’ Jew, Augustine of Hippo, Father of Romanism, -corrupted ‘Christianity’.

    Both highly privileged & given the word of God, but falling away, hating whole truth, God’s truth in the end in the majority. Both building kingdoms in the perishing. And both persecutors in this age of grace, one associated with Sardis & the other with Philadelphia.

    Note the differences in description here, too…and with ‘9’ the number of fruit:

    Re 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

    Re 3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
    ———————————
    And God is gathering them to judgment, they are ‘merging’. Drunken. Deluded. They are those who went out from us.

    Ac 15:24 Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:
    1Jo 2:19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
    —————————–
    So, they are those who went out from us (and I would add 2 Peter 2&3 and Jude as descriptors of these types), & though some will repent & return as the prodigal son, the seed of the word of God in their heart finally received & bearing good fruit: not the majority who reject truth & thus the seed, who are worshipping gnosis, according to sin & the corrupt ‘light’& ‘wisdom’ of Lucifer/Satan, the fallen creaturely beastly cherub, the first self-corrupted in whom iniquity was found, the usurper, the father of lies & accuser of the brethren. Their peace and friendship is with the world that perished, not with God, the Lord Jesus Christ of the Godhead and in none other name under heaven may men be saved. Ezekiel 28, Isaiah 14, Genesis 3 & John 8, 10; Job 1-3 and Rev 12 KJB. John 1-8; Romans 1-8; James 4 KJB.
    —————————–
    Ac 4:10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.

    Ac 4:11-13 KJB (Psalm 118:22; Isaiah 8:14, 28:16; Daniel 2:34-45; and Matthew 21:42-44; Mark 12:10; Luke 20:17-18; Ephesians 2:20; 1 Peter 2:4-8) This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
    Ac 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
    Ac 4:13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.

    The Reforming and Protesting Catholics, disobedient & not come all the way out (Hebrews 12, Revelation 18 KJB), are falling back to MYSTERY as their mother, and so are the chemarim types (Zephaniah 1:4 KJB), the ascetics & charismatics, mystics & spiritists since that Babylonian & Egyptian, Sodomite, corruption was incorporated into & came up thru history in Rome & in Judaism: even the kabalist & Talmudic type Jews now ‘dealing’ with & uniting with that thing in gross fornicating union: ecumenical and political, a false theocracy. The so-called ‘Desert Fathers’, ascetics & idolators, also the source of Clement, Origin and Augustine of Hippo….and Rome; tracing back to influence of those disobedient Jews in Jeremiah, the Septuagint & so forth. Jeremiah 40-41 KJB and :

    Ho 11:1 When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.

    Mt 2:15 And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.

    Wow…the word of God is so amazing.

    See the differing order of failing temptations for yourselves:

    Mt 4:1-11 KJB ¶ Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
    Mt 4:2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
    Mt 4:3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
    Mt 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
    Mt 4:5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
    Mt 4:6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
    Mt 4:7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
    Mt 4:8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
    Mt 4:9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
    Mt 4:10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
    Mt 4:11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
    ———————————
    Lu 4:1-13 KJB ¶ And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
    Lu 4:2 Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered.
    Lu 4:3 And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread.
    Lu 4:4 And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
    Lu 4:5 And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
    Lu 4:6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
    Lu 4:7 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.
    Lu 4:8 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
    Lu 4:9 And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence:
    Lu 4:10 For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee:
    Lu 4:11 And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
    Lu 4:12 And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
    Lu 4:13 And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.

    Ro 3:2 Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.

    Heb 5:12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.

    1Pe 4:11 If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

    Luke 12:48 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

    Lu 12:41-53 KJB ¶ Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all?
    Lu 12:42 And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?
    Lu 12:43 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
    Lu 12:44 Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.
    Lu 12:45 But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
    Lu 12:46 The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
    Lu 12:47 And that servant, which knew his lord’s will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
    Lu 12:48 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
    Lu 12:49 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?
    Lu 12:50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!
    Lu 12:51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
    Lu 12:52 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
    Lu 12:53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

    Our Lord is so faithful.

    Malachi 4:2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.

    2 Peter 1:19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

    • World that is perishing…..not perished.

      And, wow. Consider also how appropriate that this abomination is taking place in ‘San Francisco’….named for ‘Saint’ Francis of Assissi who is remembered as that earth-and-animal-worshipping ascetic who went into ecstasies, stripped off his clothes dancing naked, and who rebelled against elder & God’s order & economy of family, leading Rome more deeply into spiritism and asceticism, and monasticism. Known for promoting ‘peace not war’, rebelling against Rome’s incessant wars, yet not come back to the word: just to philosophical humanist epicureanism & Baal worship rather than humanist stoicism & open Saturn worship.

      He was the founder of the Franciscans, the original Inquisitors before Dominic Guzman and the Dominicans arose, and those worst of all, the Jesuits of Loyola’s spiritist & humanist ‘jesus’. They’ve been duking it out in Rome as the Pharisees, Sadduccees, Herodians, Zealots etc amongst the Jews for power & control all along.

      The whole ball of wax there is there with Francis and ‘San Francisco’: ritual, chemarims, fornications, the rebellion of witchcraft as Saul who also danced naked in ecstasy (1 Sam 10 KJB)….and who received anointing from a vial (1 Samuel TEN KJB…compare Rev 15&16), not the horn (1 Samuel 16KJB). The only positive use of vial is the prayers of the saints in Revelation 5:8. Five in the scriptures, I believe, pointing to subjects of death or rapture, & 8 to grace. That placement in Revelation 5 & not appearing again until Revelation 19 is significant, as is the judgment of Revelation 6-18….18 being 6+6+6.

      anyways, whole ball of wax with Francis of Assissi & San Francisco …..impurity, golden calf idolatry, play as Baals of Peor…& Endor; & ‘brotherhood’ with the animals & creation…see the hymn by William Draper based on poem of Francis of Assissi, “All Creatures of our God and King” (which god and which king, kingdom is the question!).

      There’s a spirit there. The old military base there, the Presidium …where the U.N. & military covert types came up with the ‘green’ agenda & strategy with old Gorbachev, and no doubt much Satanic ritual & abuse. MYSTERY. Other arm working with the Dragon people of China & fallen cherubic technocrats. The Iron and Bamboo coverts/ covers giving way to the ‘green’. The two arms uniting in the same body.

      The Kjos’ of crossroad.to and Carl Teichrib of Forcing Change and gameofgods have documented a lot of that….I believe w/ their any Bible, only the essentials, and ecumenism failing them. Protestant Evangelical and Mennonite respectively….currently giving way, with the SBC and most all of the rest to the sodomite agenda and false, impure and fornicating ‘love’ and ‘rainbow’. The 6-colored one.

      • It goes with the whole experiential & mystical, lectio divina and so forth. The broken cross crow’s foot of Rome morphing into the encircled broken cross of the ‘peace sign’….Pax Romana, not God’s peace in Christ. They merged all the mystics and saints with the martyrs of God in their histories & martyrologies to create confusion, & have been promoting them endlessly: ‘Saint’ Francis, ‘Saint’ Teresa de Avila (the devil-possessed levitating nun), ‘Saint’ Catherine of Sienna, ‘Saint’ Joan de Arc ….and later ones like Thomas Merton. Even a lot of homeschoolers who got savvy to the cults, scholasticism and humanism in the schools, got caught up in that net through the Reformed, Protestant & Catholic curriculum sources….and only a few came back out.

        There’s feminism in there & Jezebel, along with Ahab passivism; effeminacy & abusers of themselves with mankind; Baals of Peor and Balaam….all the things warned against in the Old Testament, and reiterated in the warnings of Jesus in the Gospels & to the churches in Revelation 2&3 KJB. His accounts & descriptions of the latter days.

        The Mennonite Martyrs Mirror is more accurate in its history, & shows the ritual infant baptism badge of antichrist, and the persecutions of the Daughters, with less intermingling of Romish corrupters mixed in than Foxe’s Book of Martyrs. Foxe being Protestant and Reformed, not baptist in the ancient & biblical sense & definition of that term.

        People knock David Cloud, but he stood for the King James in a time few were, & I think he’s waking up about the errors of fundamentalism, what happened to the baptists as the result of compromise with the fundamentalists and then the Lausanne & Billy Graham style ‘evangelicals’ and ecumenists, universalists. His histories are well documented & affordable, even offered online for free….and he’s a stickler for not repeating what he cannot document citing Bible & sources.

        I think he was wrong about Ruckman and Riplinger, but those also had their errors & areas of disobedience: the Lord allows us to err, chastens & quickens accordingly, & can sort that one out with the combustibles at the fulfillment of 1 Cor 3, Rev 4&5 etc. Cloud’s history of Protestant, and even King James’ persecution of baptist Bible believers is spot on….and available free online.

        Leonard Verduin was the last of the honest Protestant & Reformed historians that I know of, who admitted these things in history. He did not have the courage to call it out in its more current forms during his lifetime, or to come out of Reformed dominated education and publishing circles entirely, but he did publish Rome and Her Step-children…..and insisted that all of his children come to understanding of the biblical gospel & to biblical, knowing, believers’ baptism. Sad case.

        James Beller exposes that merky history, conspiracy, & the distinctions, betrayals, compromises etc leading up to the present with his America in Crimson Red and Sacred Betrayal: the Coming Destruction of the Baptist People ….and without the typical fundamentalist politicism of, say, Greg Dixon.

        It gets dicey judging who is, or was, saved in that bunch though, taking Hezekiah, David, Jehoshaphat, Uzziah and all into account, even Demas who we don’t know the end of as we do the man in sin of 1 Corinthians restored in 2 Corinthians, & with 1 Corinthians 4 KJB. And we should be careful.

        We warn of heretics from the scripture, and we warn heretics with scripture two or three times, then separate from or put them out for Satan to deal with as the Lord’s rod of trial & chastisement, even as with Job, the kings of Egypt, Assyria & Babylon etc; and only so far as the Lord allows & in accordance with his purposes. That’s his business.

        • Brother Sun, Sister Moon was the movie giving the Catholic mystical version of the life of Francis of Assissi and serving this agenda they’re promoting…social justice, nicolaitan order, and the whole nine yards. Considered alongside scripture, sun & moon worship and so forth…pagan worship of the creation & the fallen spiritual hierarchy behind the world system….you can plainly see it for what it is.

          Pr 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
          Pr 16:25 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

          Mark 13:22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
