He doesn’t care. He cares only about getting put back in so he can run for prez. His election will have nothing to do with Californians voting for him nor voting against him

RE: Number One....

Woody Allen line from Bananas about his Central American country as he appeals to the US for aid:

“Although the United States is a very rich country and San Marcos is a very poor one, there are a great many things we have to offer your country in return for aid... Few people realize that we lead the world in hernias”.

Has ANYONE ever seen him unanimated? ......just like a regular everyday joe...well sorta’.... when he acts like that he gets real mad, like im gonna’ punch you in the face mad or he will get angry & blame somebody else when he uses his own speeches and blames things on the audience, for example what he stated in his speech on homelessness ( super indignant).

Have you seen Gavin waving his hands all around using odd hand gestures?...have you seen the animation, the smiling, the energy he exers, all the fast talking with his crazy hands NEVER giving a solid answer???

I think he is on something but thats jmo

Gavin will never be President—but with work he could get a seat in the Senate handed to him Maybe—if he plays his cards right—he could get a shot at VP. He is a corrupt tool of the Deep State interests.

California is ranked number one or among the top states for poverty in the U.S., particularly when using the Supplemental Poverty Measure (SPM) which accounts for California’s high cost of living, especially housing.

Recent data indicates a significant increase in the poverty rate, with the California Budget & Policy Center reporting an 18.9% rate in 2023, up from 11.0% in 2021, leading to millions of residents struggling to meet basic needs.

Key Factors Contributing to California’s High Poverty Rate:
<><>High Cost of Living:
California’s exorbitant housing costs and overall high cost of living significantly impact poverty levels, making it harder for residents to afford basic necessities.
<><>Unequal Income Distribution:
There is a substantial gap between the incomes of the richest 1% of Californians and the incomes of most residents, contributing to economic disparity.
<><>Lack of Affordable Housing:
Insufficient access to affordable housing is a primary driver of poverty in the state.
Official vs. Supplemental Poverty Measures:

The official poverty measure by the U.S. Census Bureau may not fully capture the extent of economic hardship in high-cost states like California.

The Supplemental Poverty Measure (SPM), which includes costs like housing and utilities, provides a more accurate picture of poverty in the state and consistently places California at or near the top among all states.

What it means:
<><>7.3 million residents lacked the resources to meet basic needs in 2023,
<><>this has worsened since 2021, per the California Budget & Policy Center.
<><>Child poverty has also seen a dramatic increase,
<><>child poverty rates nearly doubled between 2021 and 2024.

Gavin’s a liar about everything and there’s no lie too tall for him to tell. Just remember that every time you see him open his mouth.

“Poverty” in California is still a lot more comfortable than “middle class” in Tiajuana.

VDH put it PERFECTLY. California is a Two-Class State, where you’re either very wealthy (multi-millions, at least) or very poor. The very wealthy have to pay huge taxes and live by horrific, invasive, rules. The very poor get a free ride on everything and are welcome to commit whatever crimes they choose.

What was their ‘Middle Class’ is probably down to 20% and consists of people who can feed themselves, but often are stuck there do to personal constraints...and they get squeezed the worst.

“ Harmful federal budget cuts risk pushing even more families into hardship.”

Thus proving that California’s problem is much worse and entirely of California’s making.

It likely has to do with the numbers of Biden’s illegals that Kalifornia welcomed with budget-busting open arms.

Noisome can’t be put back in, he’s termed out as Gov. and I hope to God that after seeing what he has done to California no democrat is stupid enough to vote for him. But what scares me is they voted for Brandon and The Cackler.

California is tied with Louisiana for the title of highest poverty rate.
