Thank you very much and God bless you.

On public safety, the governor said he's worried about the mass shooting in Austin, Texas, that investigators have said may have been a terroristic attack.

While Newsom acknowledged the investigation is ongoing, he said his office of emergency services has been discussing the issue.

"We've had conversations over the last few days that we didn't have to in prior days as it relates to emergency preparedness and planning and the unintended consequences, the uncertainty Donald Trump has unleashed around the world."

On gas prices, the governor said the costs will go up "because of Trump's war."


It’s all Trump’s fault

Oh, brother...he buys into the insane green and climate agenda, he forces all the refineries to shut down in California, he forces the oil companies out of California, he’s importing gasoline from the Bahamas and NOW he’s worried about gas prices?

In November 2025, >40% of California’s imported gasoline came via the Bahamas—a record high. They routed it through the Bahamas to avoid the Jones Act. The bastard kills petroleum in CA and resorts to gimmicks other avoid Jones Act requirements adding to the already-high cost of gasoline imported to CA.

LOL!
I think Newscum was actually Nancy’s daughter before he transitioned.
They’re all crazy…..
Newscum:”The sky is falling because Trump is not a democrat puppet!”
Democrats talking points repeated by all democrat puppets today:
1) Trump’s illegal war
Only democrat wars are legal
2) Iran “posed no imminent threat of attack” to the U.S.
Dems want to wait until they have a nuke.
3) The President must have our approval before starting these actions.
But that didn’t apply to Biden, Obama, Clinton, etc.

I think Mandani and Newsom need to have a good long talk. They need to decide who will be top and bottom. They can’t figure out their energy problems.
