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...

After California Gov. Gavin Newsom posted an Instagram Story of himself coming to the scene of the Palisades Fire, many criticized him for using the tragedy as a “photo op” while blaming him for the tragedy. “Gavin Newsom has arrived for the photo op of him watching his state burn to the ground,” controversial account Libs of TikTok wrote alongside the video. Popular conservative X account Breaking 911 mocked Newsom for showing up to the fire. “JUST IN: California Gov. Gavin Newsom has showed up to the scene of the Palisades fire to put his hands in his back pockets,”...

Governor Gavin Newscum refused to sign the water restoration declaration put before him that would have allowed millions of gallons of water, from excess rain and snow melt from the North, to flow daily into many parts of California, including the areas that are currently burning in a virtually apocalyptic way. He wanted to protect an essentially worthless fish called a smelt, by giving it less water (it didn’t work!), but didn’t care about the people of California. Now the ultimate price is being paid. I will demand that this incompetent governor allow beautiful, clean, fresh water to FLOW INTO...

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) is poised to become the “leader of the resistance” to President-elect Donald Trump as he finishes his second and final term in office, and sets his sights on a possible presidential run in 2028.That’s the view of Republican strategist Rob Stutzman, a former aide to California’s last Republican governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, who endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris.The San Francisco Chronicle reported:“He gets not only a lifeline to his career that was facing a dead end, but he will be able to position himself as the leader of the resistance,” Stutzman said.Harris’ loss means Newsom will...

My response to Gavin Newsom's new speech censorship laws.

In a week full of bill signings, Governor Gavin Newsom approved several dozen that relate to guns, some of which focused on red flag laws. A red flag law gives courts the authority to temporarily take someone’s firearms if people near them — like immediate family, employers, roommates — have reason to believe that person is dangerous to themselves or others. Newsom signed one bill which extends that red flag law to people who commit or threaten hate-based violence based on extremist ideology. Bill sponsor and Democratic Assembly member Rick Chavez Zbur told the Senate Committee on Public Safety back...

Musk trolling Newsome

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) is raising eyebrows on a national level by taking a tough stance against George Soros-backed prosecutor Pamela Price of Alameda County, which includes the crime-ridden city of Oakland. Price faces a recall effort on the November ballot, as does “progressive” Oakland mayor Sheng Thao, whose home was recently raided by the FBI in an apparent corruption probe. Breitbart News described Price’s record in 2023: Soros, who has funded radical prosecutors across the country, spent hundreds of thousands of dollars backing Price in 2018. She won in 2022 and immediately backed “criminal justice reform” of the...
