Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Monday ordered cities across the Golden state to start cleaning up its homeless encampments, stating that the "time for inaction is over" and that the state has a lot of federal funding to help with the efforts. California has become known for having the highest homeless rate in the country with 187,000 homeless people as of 2024, who largely occupy cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco. Los Angeles has the second highest homeless population in the country, behind New York City. Newsom laid out a plan to eliminate the homeless population from his...

California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s Medi-Cal system is seeking a $3.4 billion taxpayer bailout after spending $9.5 billion this year on noncitizen immigrant health care. A new report also highlighted how California “launders” national taxpayer funding to cover its Medi-Cal bills and is enabled by federal law. Newsom’s proposed budget for the 2025-2026 fiscal year includes a $7 billion reserve withdrawal. It’s unclear whether this emergency loan request for Medi-Cal either will result in or reflects the need for a higher budget for the taxpayer-funded healthcare program. “California now spends 22% of its General Fund Medi-Cal budget on healthcare for over...

New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu (R) minced no words in his evaluation of his counterpart in California on Thursday. At an event held by the Ronald Reagan Institute on Thursday, Sununu concluded that Governor Gavin Newsom (D) is “just a prick” and asserted that none of his peers can stand him. “And I think look almost all the governors get along. I mean, in my eight years, I can honestly tell you there’s really only been two — maybe a third — but two real governors that really nobody liked, nobody cared for at all,” continued Sununu before being asked...

Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom is deploying the state police to target growing crime in Oakland, California, according to a Tuesday press release. Violent incidents rose by 21% from 2022 to 2023 with robberies and burglaries jumping 38% and 23%, respectively, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. As a result, Newsom said that 120 California Highway Patrol (CHP) officers were going to be sent to Oakland and the surrounding area to “restore a sense of safety,” according to the press release. “As crime rates across California decrease — including right across the Bay in San Francisco — Oakland is seeing the...

True Leadership Stops It.. People talk about the Weimar Republic that gave rise to Adolph Hitler but very few understand what the Weimar was all about. ... from deceased Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.. The Germany of the late 1920s and early 1930s was a world leader in most fields of art, science and intellect. ... Berlin had three opera houses, and Germany as a whole no less than eighty.

This past week, California Governor Gavin Newsom continued his presidential campaign – I’m sorry, his domestic and international publicity tour – with a visit to China, where he met with Chinese President Xi Jinping and other Chinese officials for the purpose of “delivering real climate action and creating opportunities for future collaboration and cooperation.” He toured manufacturing facilities, savored local fare, and even floored a child during a game of basketball. (The kid and the Governor were both uninjured.) All the while, his media team was hard at work, providing much needed international exposure to further Newsom’s presidential ambitions. Newsom’s...

Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) gave his highly coveted endorsement to Lateefah Simon, who’s running for California's 12th Congressional District in 2024. Newsom and Simon have collaborated closely in the past, representing District 7 on Bay Area Rapid Transit's board of directors since 2016, where Newsom’s political roots lie. “Lateefah is a visionary," Newsom said in a statement to Politico. "But more than a visionary, she is a proven leader who effects the kind of change that makes her vision a reality.” “From working closely with Lateefah and watching her deliver real, progressive change in her community, I have come to...

On Monday, California Gov. Gavin Newsom praised the Biden administration’s decision to intervene on behalf of Silicon Valley Bank’s clients after the bank was taken over by the FDIC on Friday amid a bank run. The White House “acted swiftly and decisively to protect the American economy and strengthen public confidence in our banking system,” Newsom said in a statement. What Newsom didn’t mention is that it also protected his own companies if they held over $250,000 in deposits. CADE, Odette, and PlumpJack, three wineries owned by Newsom, are listed as clients of SVB on the bank’s website. Newsom also...

A renowned Southern California pastor is calling upon Gov. Gavin Newsom to repent and “respond to the Gospel” for his controversial reelection campaign that invoked Scripture in defense of abortion. The open letter from Grace Community Church Pastor John MacArthur dated Sept. 29 quotes the Bible numerous times in response to the campaign earlier this month, which MacArthur said “shamelessly” misquoted Mark 12:31 for Newsom’s own political purposes. “You revealed to the entire nation how thoroughly rebellious against God you are when you sponsored billboards across America promoting the slaughter of children, whom He creates in the womb (Psalm 139:13–16;...

Mohammed Ali once said, “It ain’t bragging if you can back it up.” So, I’m gonna brag. I’ve got the best track record of political predictions anywhere on radio or TV. ..... Snip..... So, here’s my prediction for the California Governor’s Recall Election… Gavin Newsom will be recalled and Larry Elder will be the next Governor of California. Except it won’t matter.

I started my...

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), currently facing a recall election on September 14, wants the state’s taxpayers to spend $16.7 million on “cash assistance” and “other services” for Afghans who are resettled in California as part of President Joe Biden’s massive resettlement operation.

The latest round of national media pandemic messaging is targeted and intentional. The objective is fear… and the scale of the narrative pushed by the national media toward that effort is large. Conversely, the same media objective is to Alinsky those who would be a visible push-back against COVID fear, and that is why Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is being targeted. In the background of this effort is the California recall of Gavin Newsom. The governor and national allied media are working together to weaponize the fear of COVID as a closing message against the recall effort. Newsom’s latest commercials...

2 women caught on camera stealing CA Gov. Recall Election ballots out of apartment mailboxes using a USPS master key to open the entire mail box at once. This was in Valley Village earlier this week. Another man was caught with hundreds of ballots in Torrance as well. pic.twitter.com/5TU1xc2KzP — Tony (@_Mrtdogg) August 19, 2021 The only way Newsom can survive the Recall is by cheating. This is likely a Democrat controlled operation happening across the state.

Conservative California gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder recently said in an interview that, “I do believe that Joe Biden won the election fairly and squarely.” Elder’s response understandably invited outrage and condemnation from countless conservatives, who maintain that the 2020 election was stolen. Catturd, an unapologetic conservative with an impressive Twitter following of more than 540,000 accounts— myself included — tweeted “Good morning - see ya later Larry Elder. He can't hold up under pressure - and yes I saw the full video, which wasn't much better. His poll numbers are about to plummet.” I understand the response from Catturd, which...

California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) melted down during an interview with the Sacramento Bee editorial board. The besieged governor lost his cool after reporters pointed out how bad things have gotten in California under his leadership (and full Democrat control) related to crime, homelessness, high taxes and unemployment. The California dream is more like a mirage’ one reporter pointed out to Newsom. Newsom went on whiny, unhinged rant at the end of the interview, slamming his hand on the desk nearly 60 times, finger-wagging and arms flailing.
