Gavin Newsom Abandons California as Desperate Communities Remain Trapped in Snow

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) has left the state on “personal travel” as thousands of desperate residents remain trapped in snow-bound mountain communities where the National Guard failed to arrive as promised.

Newsom belatedly declared a state of emergency on Wednesday, March 1 — a week after a blizzard swept the state and stranded residents of Crestline, Lake Arrowhead, and other towns in the San Bernardino mountains.

As of Saturday, three days later, the California National Guard had failed to arrive in Crestline. The Los Angeles Times reported:

On Saturday, desperate San Bernardino County residents were wondering when National Guard troops would arrive. Residents said hundreds of people have lined up for food, dog food and firewood in recent days at community distribution events. Many of them left empty-handed, according to residents who spoke to The Times.

Residents are running out of food and medicine. Some are still trapped in their homes, where snowdrifts several feet high are blocking access to driveways and doors. And people are starting to panic about rescue.

Currently in the Sierra Nevada/I-80....... CLosed! Not that unusual in the winter but this is a dumper and looks like next week will be uh, inclement also. Still dumping in the mountains and spill over to western NV. We got about 9 inches of AGW at our place and it's snowing pretty hard. And we ain't in the mountains where they're getting it in feet. Meanwhile Grinning Gavin (henceforth 'Gigi')galavanting someplace. Hey, nobody forced you to live where it might snow. Right Gigi?

Shades of Marion Berry in the DC Blizzard of 1996 when instead of plowing roads, he stood on the steps of a flight to the Carribbean and stated “God put the snow here and God will take it away.”

Gavin is blowing a chance to be a hero, but then, that might be too toxic for such a wienie.

What does he care? The media and Democrat party will cover for him, to them, he is a hero.

I remember when he mandated restaurants close during the “pandemic” and that everyone wear a mask while in public - but then hypocritically ate at a $200/plate restaurant Napa, unmasked, indoors, with a group of his buddies - then lied about it. No repercussions then or at any time for his utter hypocrisy (such as sending his own kids to a private school that didn’t require masks).

He’s made of teflon, recently beating a recall in a landslide.

I fully expect the Democrats to run him for POTUS in 2024.

He beat the recall using the California fraud machine...illegals voting, ballot harvesting, dead people voting. I live in Cali and he isn’t well liked at all. He is Nancy Pelosi’s nephew which tells you all you need to know. If we don’t solve the massive vote fraud, he will likely be President.

Firewood? National Guard? Liberals can't stand 'em, so Newsome won't do either one.

The historic, earth-friendly solution is to have a "Donner Party"!

Some folks can take a private jet out for some fancy chow, while others get forked.

Sounds like this could be a transportation issue, so where is Pete? Hope he gets there before Trump does...

Well, it is his pals from Hollyweird who decided to continue using “It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year” in all their commercials although the CHRISTMAS holiday has been over for over a couple of months now.

You live on a remote mountain that gets lots of snow every winter...and you are out of food in a week? No stock of firewood?

“Residents said hundreds of people have lined up for food, dog food and firewood in recent days at community distribution events.”

Look around your house and think about being surrounded by 8 feet of snow...where I am, I suppose we could throw it over the cliff we live on...but all our entry doors would be blocked, and a lot of windows, as well as garage. It would be an emergency situation..

In fact, he’s abandoned his duties and has his deputy filled in as Acting Governor. What a guy! From his Office:

https://www.gov.ca.gov/newsroom/

Acting Governor Eleni Kounalakis Signs Legislation to Support State’s COVID-19 Preparedness
Published: Mar 02, 2023

SACRAMENTO – Acting Governor Eleni Kounalakis today signed legislation to help maintain the state’s COVID-19 operational preparedness by codifying two emergency waivers regarding COVID-19 laboratory testing and therapeutics – statutory changes the Newsom Administration called for, and the Legislature expedited, this session.

AB 269, an urgency measure by Assemblymember Marc Berman (D-Menlo Park), authorizes qualified laboratory personnel to continue solely processing COVID-19 tests and permits COVID-19 testing sites contracted with the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) to continue dispensing COVID-19 therapeutics until January 2024.
