The Newsoms’ blatant beak-wetting is warning about politics at all levels

California “First Partner” Jennifer Siebel Newsom making bank off her husband’s position is outrageous — and fresh proof that American politicians have gotten far too comfortable with the dirty dealing that pervades politics.

...Siebel Newsom’s nonprofit, Representation Project, pays her a hefty $150,000 — while raking in donations from companies that have an interest in winning the favor of her husband, California Gov. Gavin Newsom.

AT&T, which has spent upward of $2 million to lobby the state on landline phone rules so far this year, forked over up to $25,000 for Representation Project’s “Flip the Script” gala.

Comcast, AT&T’s competitor, and PG&E have donated similar amounts to fund the swanky event, which seems to be used as an excuse to butter up the gov’s pals; last year’s gala honored philanthropist Roselyne Swig, whose family has donated more than $100,000 to Gavin’s political career over the years.

Oh, and Representation Project’s No. 1 independent contractor is Girls Club Entertainment LLC, a for-profit production company . . . also run by Siebel Newsom.

The LLC billed Representation Project for $150,000 in “writer/producer/director” services in 2024.

If that weren’t enough pocket-lining, Siebel licenses her lefty documentaries, like her 2015 film about masculinity to the state’s public schools.

Her job title might be “documentary filmmaker,” but it sure looks like what she’s pulling the big bucks simple for being Mrs. Newsom.

Such incestuous gorging at the public trough is grotesque, yet the Newsoms don’t even try hide it — because in-your-face beak-wetting is so yawn-inducingly normal in the political world they live in.

Think of Hunter Biden using his dad’s position as vice president, then president, to land high-paying, unearned positions and hawk his art.

Or the wealthy Clinton Foundation donors who scored government favors during Hillary Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state.

Did you notice that instead of his arm waving per usual, he clasped his hands and did a thumb dance. What is up with that?

Gavin is most likely trying (by the unshaven hairs on his chinny-chin-chin) to resist literally sucking his thumb,in order to help himself relax, at least not while near any cameras.

His publicist, Anthony York (senior advisor for Communications and Strategy) keeps reminding Gavin that even his very liberal voters would not like seeing their Governor thumbsucking or using a Plastic Pacifier while On The Air.

All ‘non-profits’ should be outlawed.

They are merely vehicles for money laundering.
