In California, Recalls are not Just for the Governor

Just about everyone in America is aware that California Governor Gavin Newsom is facing a recall election. But California has a lot more recall news than simply the recall of its governor. In fact, the state is in the midst of a genuine recallapalooza. The state has recall challenges underway for not just the governor, but also two district attorneys and over 48 assorted mayors, city councilmen, and school board members. And that recall count is only as of July. It seems that it’s not all love and harmony in the Golden State.

Governor Newsom is facing recall because he’s totally botched everything he’s touched. Crime is up and liberty is down. The forests are burning and the electricity has to be turned off occasionally to prevent more fires. As long as they’re trying to be the Central America of the north, they might as well have a power grid to go with it. They wouldn’t want their new guests to feel homesick.

Newsom even managed to mess up the COVID lockdowns. Churches were closed but movie studios were allowed to keep operating. Small businesses and restaurants were crushed by the lockdowns, except if they happened to be hosting Governor Hair-Gel and his friends.

The MSM is predicting that he’ll survive the recall, but I remember the last time California recalled its governor. It was for power outages -- and we’re moving into the annual blackout season in richest state of the republic.

The district attorneys of both San Francisco (Chesa Boudin) and Los Angeles (George Gascón) are also facing recall. It seems both are more interested in social justice than criminal justice. Both of these gentlemen are rare politicians who actually keep their word.

It may be sheer fantasy that tyranny can be overturned at the ballot box, especially when the tyrants and their lackeys are in charge of counting the ballots. Add to that the “Jungle primary” and the mail-in voting system that have dominated California politics for most of a generation, and you have a prescription for once again skewed voting results, that may or may not reflect the temper of the California voters.

I don’t agree with this writer about California Recall. It is pointless to keep a loser like Gavin Newsom in office one minute more than you have to.

The writer ignores the thousands of people who NEVER voted for Newsom. Those people don’t need to be taught any lessons.
