Unmasking Knuckleheaded Newsom: Notes on Nonsense
American Thinker ^ | 5 Sep, 2025 | Richard Blakley

Screaming to unmask U.S. law enforcing ICE agents, “high-profile California Democrat[s]” are callously putting agents and their families in harm’s way, but it is time to unmask California Governor Gavin Newsom!

Who is the real Gavin Newsom? While the U.S. debt is increasing at warp factor 1, if Gavin Newsom becomes president, he will push the throttle of debt to the edge of warp factor 10, taking the U.S. debt to places “where no man has gone before.” While California is the country’s most populous state, with the fifth largest economy in the world, Newsom led California to a “$68 billion budget shortfall” in December of 2023. This is “the biggest deficit by dollar in state history.” Merely 18 months before the state had a nearly $100 billion surplus. How does one spend $168 billion in 18 months? That’s a spending spree of $9.3 billion per month. With 31-day months, this would be a spending spree of $301 million per day, consistently, for 31 days for 18 months. (Some figures put that budget shortfall number at $73 billion, which would mean monthly spending of $9.6 billion.)

Mr. Spock would say, “Fascinating.”

Another “fascinating” aspect of this is that the MSN article originally publishing this data is presently “unavailable.” Thankfully groups like “Family Guardian” saved and republished the article.

Other knuckleheads say California’s deficit is due to a lack of tax revenue stating, “California’s … spending is far outstripping the vast year-over-year increases in tax revenue,” which was taken to mean there were just not enough taxes. Yet, California is deemed “a high-tax state compared with its neighbors.”

Was 2023 a bad year countrywide? Forty-six states “reported their general fund revenue collections exceeded their original estimates,” with California ranking last in its budget performance in the nation.

It sounds like it is the Cloward-Piven strategy. Meaning it is on purpose to crash the system.

I never understand why Newsom is considered a viable presidential candidate. I think it really comes down to his hair. People like his hair, and think it’s important.

I’ve alway considered Gavie Newscum as California’s dumber version of Beto O’Rourke. Little boys like Davy Hogg who never grew up.

Knucklehead is a term resurrected by the Obozo Crime Family to defuse outrage against the persons of color committing heinous crimes and racial violence. Its sort of a benign term. “They are not evil, just ill advised.” As in “ . . . yes the old lady was beat to death in the street by a gang of 17 year old thugs but they are just knuckleheads.”

But Newscum will get female vote, the criminal vote, the political union vote, the welfare vote and illegal vote.

That and ballot box stuffing makes him a shoe in.

It’s nostalgia for Mitt Romney. The dems were torn in 2012 when they had to vote for Obama instead of Mitt.

Gov. Newsom is wholly unsuitable to be POTUS - he is failing as governor of California - his very own policies have caused gas to spike at ≈ $4.59/gallon and two refineries to shut down. He's trying to find a buyer for one of the refineries and wants to open up drilling in California's Central Valley.

The man is a hypocrite and failure. It's a wonder anyone would vote for this idiot. His specialty is blaming everyone except himself for his own failures:

4-B30-B06-C-7-FB5-4674-85-CD-5-F9-C1-E8-ABDB9-1-102-o

Trump has taken to trolling Newsom:

“ICE must not wear masks.” - California Democrats.
“COVID cases rise, all must mask.” - California Democrats.

What an evil party.

Oh, yes, I know...

The radio host I listen to HATES Gaven Newsom - and is on this story every day.

I’m traveling to Northern California in a week and I understand gas prices are worse up there - around $6.00/gallon. I have a hybrid car that gets pretty good mileage - but it still runs mostly on gas.

Glad I’m retired and do not have to commute any longer.
