Gov. Newsom Complains About “Hurricane Force Winds” of “Misinformation”
The Federalist ^ | January 11, 2025 | Daniel Greenfield

Gov. Gavin Newsom is dreaming about the White House. Unfortunately, half his state is on fire. Newsom could fight the fires or he could dismiss all criticism of his miserable mismanagement of the state as “disinformation”.

Two guesses which way he went.

This is pathetic even by Gov. Newsom’s standards. There’s Biden, the feeble pretender to the throne, trying to focus on the Democrat disaster Zoom session while mumbling something about “extreme weather” that some staffer probably wrote on a card in red marker and drilled him on, and the new pretender to the throne auditioning on a national stage by denouncing the “hurricane-force winds of disinformation” that some speechwriter probably thought up for him. The forced emotional intonation sounds horrendously fake.

It’s also a self-serving exercise by a politician under fire during a crisis that he helped cause.

“Misinformation” is what politicians call information they don’t like. And Newsom, who refuses to take responsibility for anything, is melting down in public.

The disastrous phone call scene has left Newsom scrambling for even more excuses.

After claiming that all the issues are the fault of local authorities (his standby line for everything from crime to homelessness), he is now “calling for an independent investigation into the loss of water pressure to local fire hydrants and the reported unavailability of water supplies from the Santa Ynez Reservoir.”

Hurricane force winds indeed.

Newsom would censor all of us if he got the chance.

Shutting us up is the only way he can get away with his lies and negligence.

Newsom is being pushed into the position of the man in Shakespeare in Love with his feet held to the fire but this time without the boots.

Hurricane force winds were happening Tuesday afternoon but ended about 2AM Wednesday.

They spread the initial fire, more so than in most of these fires, that are very common.

Winds did not stop them from maintaining the water to the fire hydrants.

The necessary immediate containment, the only thing that could mitigate it, was not possible.

I don’t know about falling in line, there are an awful lot of wealthy and influential celebrities that lost everything because of democrat governors, politicians and DEI incompetents. I doubt they will fall in line and spout the democrat line of bullsquat. They may have been okay with the victims in Maui being screwed over and having their property stolen, but I don’t think they will roll over and let Noisome do the same to them.

Anyone remember David Frye's Nixon?
