Gavin Newsom has been searching for an identity for his pursuit of the Presidency in 2028. It appears as though he's settled on one.
He's been advocating for violence against Republicans (this one is Obamaesque).
Gavin Newsom calls for violence against Republicans: “We’re going to punch these sons of b*tches in the mouth.”
He knows what he’s doing. He’s inciting more riots and attacks against Republicans.

But the rest have a theme. He's holding press conferences that are looking increasingly familiar

He's selling merchandise that looks a lot like something you've seen before

He took one of the most gerrymandered states and made it even more so, and he boasts how he signed the bill before Texas did it!
In so doing, he ignored the wishes of the stateCalifornia Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) signed legislation Thursday evening to create new congressional maps designed by the Democrat-dominated legislature to eliminate half of the state’s Republican-held seats. The so-called “Election Rigging Response Act” consists of bills that were stripped of their existing language, and filled with redistricting language, to evade a state requirement that legislation wait 30 days for approval.
In doing so, Newsom and the Democrats set aside the state’s nominally independent redistricting commission, which was established by the voters in 2008 (and which is gamed by Democrats anyway).
The survey, conducted by Politico and the Citrin Center for Public Opinion Research, found that 64 percent of voters favor keeping the commission in place, while just 36 percent support returning map-drawing authority to the legislature. The numbers hold across party lines, with 61 percent of Democrats, 66 percent of Republicans, and 72 percent of independents siding with the commission. The poll of 1,445 registered voters was conducted between July 28 and August 12.Raise your hand if you've seen something like this before. Taking up one of the left's latest foils, he's going to save democracy

Now he's conducting his own foreign policy

He's clearly decided to emulate Donald Trump. He may try but he is nothing more than a cheap copy. And he comes with a truckload of failure baggage:
Governor Gavin Newsom’s top 20 failures in California
1. Homelessness Crisis: Over 180,000 unsheltered despite $24 billion spent since 2019.
2. Housing Shortfall: Promised 3.5 million new units by 2025, but construction lags severely.
3. Rising Crime: 13% crime increase in 2022, linked to Proposition 47 and 57 weakening enforcement.
4. High Gas Prices: Taxes nearing $2 per gallon by 2026, burdening residents.
5. Business Exodus: Companies fleeing due to high taxes and regulations, doubling relocation rates.
6. Wildfire Mismanagement: Only 11,399 acres treated for prevention versus claimed 90,000.
7. Budget Deficits: Projected $20–30 billion annual deficits from 2026, driven by 90% spending increase.
8. Water Crisis Mismanagement: Despite claims of addressing California’s water issues, Newsom’s policies have failed to resolve chronic shortages, with 2021–2022 droughts exposing inadequate infrastructure planning; only 50% of requested water was delivered to farmers in 2022, crippling agriculture.
9. Neglect of Water Infrastructure: Newsom scaled back ambitious water projects like the Delta Conveyance Tunnel, critical for modernizing the State Water Project, leaving California reliant on outdated systems unable to handle drought or population growth.
10. High-Speed Rail Cost Overruns: The California High-Speed Rail, initially budgeted at $33 billion in 2008, has ballooned to over $135 billion with no operational tracks laid after 16 years, earning the moniker "train to nowhere."
11. Train to Nowhere Mismanagement: The project, meant to connect Los Angeles to San Francisco, is now reduced to a 171-mile Central Valley segment (Merced to Bakersfield) with no clear path to completion, criticized as a “boondoggle” with $15.7 billion spent for minimal progress.
12. Funding Misallocation: Newsom has defended continued funding for the rail despite a $12 billion state budget shortfall, diverting resources from critical needs like water infrastructure while suing to restore $4 billion in federal funds pulled due to project delays.
13. Environmental and Economic Disconnect: The rail project’s environmental benefits are questionable, as it duplicates an existing Amtrak route with low ridership potential, while water shortages continue to harm Central Valley communities and agriculture.
14. Lack of Transparency: Newsom’s administration has been criticized for poor oversight, with the rail project lacking a comprehensive financing plan and facing lawsuits over land acquisition and utility relocation failures, further delaying progress and wasting resources.
15. Proposed Police Funding Cuts: In 2024, Newsom’s budget proposed a 1.6% reduction in the California Department of Justice’s funding, including $10 million from the Division of Law Enforcement and $97 million from trial court operations, amid a $27.6–$45 billion deficit, criticized as defunding police while crime rates, like San Francisco’s 8,686 thefts in 2024, remain high. His office denied direct local police cuts, claiming a 33% increase in DOJ funding since 2019.
16. Promotion of Crisis Counselors: In 2020, Newsom advocated reimagining policing by shifting roles like mental health and addiction response to crisis counselors and social workers, but implementation has been limited, with no clear statewide program success reported, leaving gaps in addressing homelessness and mental health crises.
17. Prison Closures and Reduced Capacity: Newsom has closed three state prisons and multiple prison yards since 2019, with plans to deactivate 4,600 beds across 13 facilities to save $80 million, citing a declining prison population (from 130,000 in 2019 to 93,000 in 2024). Critics argue this weakens incarceration and public safety, especially with rising crime rates.
18. California Model for Prison Reform: Newsom’s “California Model” aims to reform prisons with rehabilitation-focused facilities, like a new San Quentin center, but critics, including abolitionist groups, call it a “near enemy” of progress, costing $25 million annually while failing to address systemic issues like violence and poor conditions in facilities like the California Rehabilitation Center.
19. Failure to Address Crime Surge: Despite claims of investing $1.1 billion in law enforcement since 2019, violent crime rose 27% from 2013 to 2022, and retail thefts have driven businesses out, with critics linking Newsom’s policies, including prison closures and reduced law enforcement funding, to a “vicious cycle” of weakened public safety.
20. Veto of Prison Capacity Bill: In 2023, Newsom vetoed a bill to reduce prison capacity by maintaining empty beds, prioritizing departmental control over cost savings, which could have freed billions for housing or mental health, further fueling criticism of misplaced priorities amid a budget crisis.
Kevin Dalton has compiled a list of how Newsom's state ranks against the other 49:

“”””Gavin Newsom: the Bud Light version of Donald Trump””””
Brilliant description of the man the democrats are calling their “alpha male”.
Gavin Newsom has nothing in common with Donald Trump
Not a thing. He is not any version of President Trump.
Agree
Great name for Newscum who will hate being linked with Trump even in a negative way
I will use this reference all I can
Anyone else remember, when the liberals warned us all about using any violent imagery or metaphors?
Now, apparently, it is okay to use violent imagery and metaphors. Just saying at one time, they were very adamant about us not saying anything which would suggest violence.
Gavin will never be president. Maybe, with work, he can be VP.
Don’t forget
Dances With Ashes !!
Collectors can. Bud Light would sell a lot of beer cans with that label. Don’t even fill it with beer, leave it MT.
Brilliant!
Both men are wealthy, but that’s where the similarities end. Trump actually cares about the American people and especially the working class whereas Gruesom doesn’t give two cents about the people of California, let alone the nation, unless you’re an illegal immigrant. Style over substance. The Democrats keep using the same playbook over and over again.
Commiefornia’s Constitution has been amended over 500 times. Laws are meaningless to Commiefornia demonicRATS.
He reminds me of a greasy meatball that rolled off a plate of spaghetti.
More like Keystone Light

The “Newsom files” will be bigger than an old phone book from the 1970’s or 1980’s.
Republican operatives and the scandal driven media, will have a lot of material to present to the rest of the country going into 2028.
