Supposedly, the tiresome comedy stylings of Gavin Newsom – he’s the equivalent of a Wednesday night prop comic opener down at the Gooberville Giggle Works – have thrust him into the forefront of the Democrat race for the 2028 nomination. What a sad and pathetic state of affairs that is. He’s trying to claim the Fighter Lane. You see, he fights by hiring a couple of they/them mediocrities to run his social media account, pumping out an endless series of tweets that are nearly as funny as leprosy. They are directed at Trump, who ignores them; if a nitwit tweets...

...Newsom reposted a clip on X of Trump’s diatribe and responded with a barb of his own: a screenshot of an interaction with Grok, the platform’s built-in AI chatbot, in which Grok was asked, “Do people with dementia repeat false things over and over again?”... ...Newsom’s stinging response comes as he’s infuriated MAGA voters by mimicking Trump’s puerile social media strategy in recent weeks....

The voters of California don’t support his gerrymandering scheme.California Gov. Gavin Newsom has cast himself as a defender of democracy in the gerrymandering war that erupted after Texas Democrats fled the Lone Star State in a futile attempt to kill a GOP redistricting plan. This is obviously part of an ongoing effort to bolster his national profile ahead of a probable presidential run, but it has forced him to adopt an Orwellian position on redistricting. Newsom is telling Golden State voters that, to save democracy from evil Republicans, they must allow him to usurp the power of a redistricting commission...

California’s far-left Governor Gavin Newsom has once again proven he’s more interested in political theater than governing, launching what he’s calling “Liberation Day” on Thursday in a desperate bid to intimidate President Donald Trump and Republican-led states. On Monday, in a hysterical, all-caps ultimatum, Newsom demanded that Trump “stand down” on “red-state gerrymandering” or face California’s “massive counter-gerrymander.” “DONALD TRUMP HAS 24 HOURS LEFT TO RESPOND TO GOVERNOR NEWSOM’S LETTER. IF HE DOES NOT STAND DOWN, THERE WILL BE A VERY IMPORTANT PRESS CONFERENCE THIS WEEK WITH A MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.” Newsom accused...

Yesterday, we told you that the FireAid scandal hit President Trump's radar. As it should: tens of millions of dollars raised with the explicit promise that those monies would go directly to victims of the L.A. wildfires. Instead, the money went to Leftist nonprofit organizations, and not a dime went to people who lost everything.

I want to add my $.02 to the excellent piece Ed wrote this morning about the farm raid in California that so exorcised the Democrats. You know, the one where a violent "protester" shot at law enforcement, risking everybody around him in the process. Democrats were livid at...ICE...apparently for provoking a well-justified armed response from a good citizen who rightly wanted to ensure that the pot farm he was protecting could continue to employ children to harvest the crop. Unaccompanied migrant children are doing what amounts to slave labor, and the Democrats are incensed that their pot supply might become...

The media is trying so hard. The left-wing shills at Politico have seized on the chaos in California hoping it can be manipulated to catapult the state's Democrat governor into the national conversation. Trump has catapulted Newsom to the front of the Democratic resistance.The California Gov was overshadowed by Washington politics and Harris' political future. Now, he's back in the spotlight.https://t.co/3oBTeBwmPz— POLITICO (@politico) June 10, 2025But if this is his audition for 2028, it's not going very well. California Governor Gavin Newsom is up to his armpits in another mess of his own making. The progressive poser who during his...

Someone tell Gavin Newsom he’s not the president of the United States. No one was obligated to carry his little address, but he’s a Democrat, anti-Trump, and pro-illegal alien, so some outlets did. Supposedly, he texted Fox News’ Sean Hannity to carry his broadcast, but there was no audio. It was a disaster. It was almost as if the political gods were screaming, ‘not ready for primetime’ concerning Newsom, who got slapped down by a judge regarding his emergency motion to block federal troops from being deployed in Los Angeles. The city is again on fire, with Newsom among those...

Lots of footage from scene. Transcript linked below video.

Los Angeles descended into further chaos for a third straight night as anti-ICE rioters blocked major freeways, set fires, and clashed with law enforcement. As the violence spiraled out of control, President Donald Trump vowed to restore law and order, deploying National Guard troops to protect federal officers and innocent citizens, all while progressive politicians continue to call the riots “peaceful protests.” On Sunday, former LAPD Chief Michael Moore said he was seeking “God’s protection” for all the officers responding to the anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles as the violence continues to wreck the city. “To the brave men &...

Federal officials are sounding the alarm after violent mobs confronted ICE agents in Los Angeles, blaming what they call “reckless and dangerous” rhetoric from Democrat leaders for fueling the chaos. As agents attempted to carry out lawful immigration enforcement, they were met with hostility and aggression from protesters emboldened by the left’s ongoing campaign to demonize border enforcement. Over 7,000 rioters surrounded a federal law enforcement building and assaulted ICE law enforcement officers heading into the weekend. They slashed tires, defaced buildings, and taxpayer-funded property. Multiple people were detained in LA by immigration agents following the violent protests. Demonstrators also...

Military leaders at the highest levels of the California National Guard pledged loyalty to the LGBT community during an official ceremony led by the general whom Gov. Gavin Newsom (D.) later appointed to lead the force in 2022. One attendee told the Washington Free Beacon that members felt pressured to appear at the ceremony, which felt "culty." . . A former senior leader of the California National Guard told the Free Beacon the ceremony was the brainchild of Major General Matthew Beevers, who at the time served as deputy head of the guard and was pictured onstage during the event....

Gavin Newsom can't be trusted with billions in bail-out money for the torched neighborhoods of Los Angeles. That much is obvious to your humble West Coast, Messed Coast™ correspondent. That's what you call a cold open to this week's West Coast, Messed Coast™, report where I've been keeping close track of the fire response. Gavin Newsom and his minions in public office — especially L.A. Mayor Karen Bass — can't be trusted to properly account for what will be a years-long effort to rebuild the charred parts of L.A. County. The governor who lost or misspent BILLIONS OF DOLLARS in...

"...everything they have everything they have is gone me all heirlooms you know their their mother's wedding ring that kind of [ __ ] everything's burnt to the ground and this guy's like standing in front of all this stuff and he's got a smile on his face and he's talking about land use the development plan..."

Governor Gavin Newsom is allegedly working with developers to rezone Pacific Palisades burn areas for multi-unit housing. California Governor Gavin Newsom is reportedly collaborating with developers to change zoning designations in Pacific Palisades from R1, which allows single-family homes, to R3, enabling the construction of apartment complexes. https://twitter.com/HustleBitch_/status/1877761634732478621? The proposed changes, which focus on areas impacted by recent wildfires, have raised questions about the future of housing development in one of Los Angeles’ most exclusive neighborhoods. Critics argue that rezoning burn areas could pave the way for large-scale developments, potentially altering the region’s character and raising concerns about infrastructure and...

Gavin Newsom was left fumbling for a response after he was chased down by a distraught Los Angeles mom demanding answers over the wildfires ravaging the city. The California governor apologized and claimed to be trying to reach President Biden on the phone in a bid to shoo away the emotional woman on Thursday. The tense exchange came as large swathes of the city remained engulfed by the flames that have destroyed thousands of homes and businesses. 'Governor that was my daughter's school,' the mom cried out as she ran over to Newsom's SUV. Newsom was unable to provide a...

Good illustration of the complete disconnect from reality of Newsome and Biden and LA mayor Karen Bass.

The White House put out a statement from Biden on Tuesday evening. "I am being frequently briefed on the wildfires in west Los Angeles. My team and I are in touch with state and local officials, and I have offered any federal assistance that is needed to help suppress the terrible Pacific Palisades fire," the statement said. Biden added that the Federal Emergency Management Agency approved a Fire Management Assistance Grant to "support areas that are impacted and help reimburse" California "for the immediate firefighting costs." "My administration will do everything it can to support the response," he said. "I...
