California governor won’t deliver State of the State speech

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California Gov. Gavin Newsom won’t give a State of the State address this year, shunning the teleprompter that has frustrated him because of his dyslexia in favor of a statewide tour this month, in which he can highlight his major policy goals in a more informal setting.

Scripted speeches have given Newsom trouble because of his dyslexia, a common learning disability that makes it harder for him to read and do other things related to reading. It’s why he rarely uses notes in his public appearances and memorizes vast amounts of facts and figures. Last year, he invited lawmakers to hear his speech in a large auditorium in Sacramento in part because he could use a larger screen.

Newsom plans to fulfill his constitutional requirement by sending a letter to the state Legislature. Next week, the governor’s office says, Newsom plans to embark on a four-day tour of the state to highlight his priorities.

Newsom’s biggest policy goal this year is to pass a law penalizing big oil companies for making too much profit.

It sounds like a campaign tour, to me.

Wow. I’ve done lots of theater in my da. I recall a process by which we would rehearse a play and practice the lines we had memorized. Even I’d dyslexic, surely the speech can be read to him.

Where’s that picture of Goebbels when you need it? How does he memorize vast amounts of facts and figures without reading? Did I miss the facts and figures for dummies audio book?

He probably brought back something from Baja and it needs to clear up.

Yeah to bring camela in to give the speech. At least it would be entertaining.

For added entertainment value cut off her mic and play old silent movie piano music.

It is much too much to expect a DemonRat politician to use his own words instead of the pre-prepared Soros script.

“Dyslexia”? Gimme a break. He is just another idiot in CaCaLand.

Y’all are gonna love him as Pres in 2024 — which is a shoe in since nobody bothered to fix the elections after 2020 and 2022.
