Full title: Gavin Newsom Wants to Pull CA's National Guard From the Border...Because They're More Useful Elsewhere
California Governor-elect Gavin Newsom has long been at odds with President Donald Trump's immigration policies. Now, he's looking at pulling the state's National Guard from the border because he believes their services can be better used elsewhere.
“I have every desire to pull those Guardsmen back and assist in other capacities,” Newsom said . “It’s my intention today, but every day conditions change, and so I want to caveat that with that understanding.”
Newsom also said he planned to discuss the border situation with Mexico's President-elect Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador during his inauguration on Saturday.
"We can't do everything ourselves but I know we're capable of doing more," Newsom said at a news conference at the San Ysidro Civic Cente, not far from where caravan riders attacked Border Patrol agents last weekend.
Newsom was also quick to remind everyone that he objected to the state's National Guard because he didn't “fully understand the benefit of our Guard in relation to the military … I see the benefit of that Guard elsewhere.”
The Governor-elect's statements mean he's looking at playing a more active role in immigration policies and legislation that impact his state's southern border with Mexico. Although current Governor Jerry Brown has opposed Trump's tough immigration policies and refused to cooperate with federal authorities, Brown did join the president in sending the National Guard to the United States-Mexico border, the Associated Press reported.
Although Newsom wants to pull the Guardsmen from the border, the state has an agreement with the feds until March 31st. But things can significantly change over the next three months.
"We are responding to this crisis in real time," Newsom said.
Tragically, the RATS basically equate our Constitution to nothing more than toilet paper these days.
Unbelievable that Kalifornians voted Newsom into the governor’s mansion to succeed Moonbeam.
I suppose they all want their streets to be riddled with syringes and crapped up with feces.
It’s regrettable that Cox chose to distance himself from President Trump in the final stages of the campaign.
It’s time to put california under militry control with a military governor
California has essentially seceeded from the union
Orville Faubus (democrat) used his National Guard troops to block the doors at the high school to keep blacks from attending.
President Kennedy said “fine” and federalized the Guard, who then turned around and told the democrat segregationists to move aside and let the blacks in.
President Trump needs to federalize the California Guard.
No problem! Trump should just cut off any/all federal funding to that entire state. Let the illegals and the elite carry the burden for protection.
The incident at Little Rock in 1957 with Orval Faubus occurred on Ike’s watch, not Kennedy’s. And Ike sent in the 101st Airborne with bayonets drawn and orders to attack the Arkansas National Guard if they didn’t obey.
Yep, I remember that but it was President Eisenhower.
I stand corrected. It was in Alabama with George Wallace, when Kennedy, via Nichloas Katzenbach, ordered the Guard federalized.
Newsom...communist agent
I wonder how many of the votes Damnin’ Nuisance got were harvested. Look at Orange County voting. Republican 14% lead election night evaporated in the week that followed. Votes kept coming.
I heard this clown speak for the first time the other day about this issue on the radio. He really is an Idiot.
The Guard is fit for other duties?
like ‘Poop Patrol’ in his old stomping grounds, San Fran, perhaps?
Newsom helped kill his mother.
Probably old news but I never heard it before.
Yesterday John and Ken on KFI played a clip of Gavin Newsome rambling on about ... nothing. It was the most incoherent babble that a sober person is capable of. We are going to look back at Moonbeam as “the sane one”.
The left has set up an alternate government for when they don’t run this one.
1)A Deep State or, as I prefer to call it, a permanent government that is comprised of bureaucrats, permanently employed justice department officials and intel operatives and, finally, JUDGES.
The low level bureaucrats simply don’t cooperate, refuse to implement and leak wherever needed.
The Justice Department and Intel community with the help of the uniparty, especially the democrat wing, somehow sets up administrative bodies as being out of the control of the Executive Branch. They seek to criminalize the President exercising his Constitutional power over his own branch of the government. In effect, they create a super government that has its own agenda and is above all elected officials and, especially, the electorate.
We see this unfolding before our very eyes where, and I hate to use this term, a Gestapo is busy making sure that anyone who challenges the power of the Deep State is persecuted, including the President and his family and any whistleblowers who are supposedly protected by a statute. Phaaaa, if a little thing like the law stops the Deep State, especially because. . . .
They have the Judges who will rubber stamp whatever a Gestapo thug like Mueller wants to do. Think about it, when was the last time a Judge put a stop to a government investigation or halted the CIA, turned down a FISA warrant, stopped anything, anything that the Gestapo does!?!?! When!?!?
And when it comes to any legislation or Executive Action that seriously threatens the Deep State agenda, i.e. replacing our citizenry with a left wing immigrant one that will vote to give the Deep State permanent power, the Judges simply veto it.
2) Each state that is blue simply defies Federal authority and has its AG office bring a lawsuit in a court.
End sanctuary cities!?!? Screw you!! But make sure that all the disaster aid in the world flows to said blue state when their policies blow up in their faces, ABSOLUTELY. We give, they take but they take more.
Better yet, they turn their local prosecutors loose. Those prosecutors now feel the power to investigate whoever they don’t politically agree with for crimes. Of course, they get the idea of what crimes to investigate based upon whatever their own side is ACTUALLY doing.
We see this in NY where the Trump Foundation is investigated while the Clinton Foundation isn’t even so much as touched. We saw the John Doe investigations in Wisconsin that ultimately were stopped. But they got Walker anyway through the third branch of this permanent government called. . .
3)Election Integrity Erosion wherein the left figures out how to massage each local election so that they win, even if it takes two weeks. Election Day is no longer Election Day. Instead, it is measuring day so that the democrat party can measure how many votes they need to “harvest” to get their candidate across the line.
In Arizona, McSally was certainly not the best candidate and the primary was bruising. But that does not excuse the democrats being able to take their sweet time and “correct” ballots. Their mantra is that “every vote must count.” What they mean by that is every ballot whether legally cast, actually cast by a voter, or not. Non-citizen-count it; double vote-count it; missing signature or birthdate-count it, dead-count it and if these problems exist, allow two weeks to figure a work around.
Basically, we have no elections. And when all else fails, just go to No. 2 above and have the black robbed thugs re-draw district lines to suit their agenda.
4) All of this is backed up and legitimized by a never-ending, unrelenting media that now truly is a propaganda arm. That arm comprises an entertainment wing and a information wing masking as “news.” It also now comprises social media that has been seized and now censors those it disagrees with. The media destroys anyone who dares not tow the party line. Joy Behar can say whatever vile thing flies from her mouth so long as it is about the “illegal” conservative side. Kid Rock dares to respond in kind and he is banned, shunned and worse.
When did Joy Behar become an unassailable victim?
Look for that propaganda arm to suddenly find a new respect fo the power of the House of Representatives. Oh yes, anything that the House does or passes will be treated as if it is sacrosanct and that nobody should dare go against it in the Senate or else they are spitting on the Constitution.
5) They have set up a ministry of indoctrination known as “education.” It stands K-12 and has a higher education arm that really is where the indoctrination is driven home.
I could go on for hundreds of pages about all these but we all know where this ends. As I have said before, we can’t go on like this, at least not as free people.
I didn’t know that either, he’s a sicko.
Because of this crap, President Trump should place the US Marines on the south side of the California border. California and Mexico can pay for it.
Sounds like this guy is as messed up as San Fran Nan, Mad Maxine and Schiffty.
Jerry’s been doing it for years.
There is no law here.
If they, CA, leave the Union, Arizona will get more illegals and Nevada will start seeing them. To hell with the other state, Oregon, they deserve any overflow of illegals.
Newsome is a tool, a fitting replacement for “Moonbeam!”
