California Governor Gavin Newsom is taking the federal COVID bailout money to new levels of manipulated intent by using the funds to bail himself out of a recall that is based on the COVID dictates he initiated.
Thus part of the reason why the highly political federal agencies lifted the COVID rules surfaces. Politically the blue state shutdowns were backfiring, and the ramifications were getting more serious by the day.
The CDC responded to the political shift against JoeBama and lifted their mandates. Simultaneously, Governor Newsom goes on a spending spree in California to provide bailout money to all the favored leftist causes:
(Via AP) […] His budget released Friday was studded with initiatives favored by his progressive base, including $7.2 billion to pay off people’s outstanding rent and utility bills and $300 million to forgive traffic and other fines for lower-income residents. There also was $35 million to encourage local universal basic income programs and money to give Medicaid benefits to people 60 and older living in the country illegally. (read more)
Will this strategy work for Newsom this year and will it work for Democrats in 2022 mid-terms?…. Only time will tell. However, the transparency of their political intent is as subtle as a brick through a window.
Sounds like money laundering, Conspiracy, RICO to me, especially considering his aunt got him the money via her phony Blue State Unemployment based criteria Covid bailout package.
Yeah. To me too. I’m not holding my breath about his ever being charged with any of the above. Simply SOP for the privileged political elite of the Left.
They remain cocky as long as they have Dominion.
PVCDroid, Exposing Election Fraud is a delicate business. We ALL know it is real, but patience is what it takes, to allow it to be exposed and verified bit by bit. Tune in to the latest, next Tuesday at 1 p.m. while the Az Senate and the perp Election Officials duke it 0ut.
Pre giving up I see. Like your ancestors …. not.

Gabbin Nuisance: “Ju$t kickback and enjoy it! I do.”
Isn’t it against the law to stand out in front of a polling place handing out $100 bills in exchange for a (D) vote?
Oh!? Maybe not. I must have been thinking of some third world Democracy … not our … inclusive … American election laws
It is illegal but this country no longer has an FEC and the Injustice department only prosecutes Americans or conservatives.
If the FEC would prosecute there would only be half of the progressive (lazy communist) party in government
This is beyond all that, it is pure unadulterated theft!
Newsom was gifted a 3+ million dollar house and instantly took 2.7 million out of it. And NOTHING from anyone about how corrupt that move was! Crickets!!!
Gosh, I wonder what makes the Governor think that the people of his state are that stupid.
Right? All that money that has been given to families… How has it been used? Some used it to finance Leaving California. Others used it to pay off debt to the Robber Barons. I pray Californians can take their state back. It’s too late for Newsom – most Californians despise him.
(several minutes of laughter…)
No one liked Crime Boss Demented Do-Nothing Creepy Pedo Jo either. And the Whore from CA either. The Whore Without A Shred Of Morals was less favorable than the Sodomite From South Bend and even in CA she was less favorable than seagull poop. But look at them go now.
How long, o how long, before The People wise up and admit that ‘voting harder’ is not gonna do a darn thing! In respect for our gracious hosts, I won’t say here how to take the state or country back. But most people already know. The resolve has to burn brightly in the hearts of enough of The People to make it happen.
Yes, they despise him so much that they will re-elect him again and again. It must be the water, or possibly the air.
Experience.
Because they are.
Yes indeed.
I imagine he knows from experience that far too many are.
No offense but as a former Californian you would be surprised….
When he survives the recall effort “staged by Q-Anon believing Trumpanzees”… Gavin will institute his Wealth Tax on all Californians. He’ll finish-off CA for treating his “genius” so shabbily
Hey I’m liking this…my wreckless driving ticket gets tossed because I’m poor. Now this is an angle I can work.
They voted him in didn’t they?
No, I think John Cox probably won that election.
No Sherry, we didn’t vote him in. The Dems perfected their vote stealing methodology here in CA the last couple of decades before blessing the rest of the nation with it in this last election. See how it works? Do you seriously believe Pelosi won 83% of her ballots for re-election when every other lib – policy garnered substantially less than that? Schiff, Feinststein, Swalwell….they all are SO popular they get over 80% of the votes? Er, um, NO
There is a saying in Britain,
First California, then America and then the rest of the world.
Going rotten we mean.
Past history…
Why, because they are. Their voting history has proved that for decades.
That’s how it works and why the Democrats and RINOs stole the election. The pigs were cut off from the feeding trough and they were desperate to get back to gorging themselves. These “relief” bills are only providing trillions of dollars of relief to the corrupt. I pray they choke on their own vomit.
I’m a firm believer that the Red States need to come up with their own Currency to keep these thieves from stealing our assets and Labor with their Money laundering to Blue States…. They laundered trillions via covid unemployment scams now Pelosi and Schumer want to launder Trillions via Salt. We must stop them from stealing our Currency and the only way to do so is to come up with another form of payment which they cannot Launder/ Steal.
In order to establish a separate currency the red states need to secede and form their own republic. I’m all for it.
I wonder if you have thought that through. Please explain how a country broken into smaller pieces is now stronger. How likely is it that two countries derived from the former United States, of opposite political ideologies, would co-exist side by side? What would prevent the socialist state, now divorced from conservatives, from bringing, say communist China to gain a real foothold on the North American continent, and thereafter not invade or infiltrate or subvert that conservative country?
When I read of such ideas I think of a school of bait fish under attack from predators. The ‘bait ball’ aka school of smaller fish cluster tightly for protection. Each fish strives to be in the middle of the ball. As the predators work over the bait ball, there are less and less of the smaller fish until none remain.
How is it that breaking the United States, in the interest of isolation, going to protect us from outside attack? Remember, we’ve only wanted to be left alone. We are were we are now because 1) they won’t leave us alone; 2) we continue to retreat. When the red states secede, what do you suppose it will be in fifty or 100 years? Continuing on the course as you have suggested, in short time there will be no where left to secede to.
History has shown that appeasement never works as intended; neither does retreat. Retreat only emboldens the enemy and allows them time to mass their assets. But they will never leave us alone, unless they are smote so utterly that they piss their drawers after thinking that perhaps they could go on the attack again.
Very well said.
Secession is NOT “appeasement,” now any more so than it was for the American colonies in their fight for secession from England’s King George III; we call it the War of Independence, and “the birth of our country.” Secession.
Today, unlike then, we do have a small, shrinking window holding out the possibility of a peaceful, equitable secession between people who hold godly and traditional values and those who do not.
We already live among those who do not, and it is proving disastrous for peace, fairness, and prosperity. By living among those who hate us and everything we love and stand for, we appease them, and they — not so foolishly — take every 32nd of an inch we give them. That is appeasement. For the sake of “unity” we appease them. Disastrously, day by day, hour by hour.
Until the disastrous and traitorous advent of Lincoln, who deliberately violated the clear language of the Declaration of Independence (grievances for secession), the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, especially the Ninth and Tenth Amendments, every state was its own sovereign nation, “united” voluntarily with the others, and only so long as they agreed on all the basic tenets expressed in those founding documents.
The forced “unity” of Lincoln cost more treasure and lives and chaos, mayhem, murder and grief, than the War of Independence, by magnitudes. And served to enslave us all to the lies that consequently, progressively, and ever-more egregiously and evilly took hold of all the now-unfree states.
Presently, the plain fact is, there is too big a population for the central federal (funny, that word; means a voluntary association: federation, exactly opposite what it has become) government to rule in any manner even approaching the limits set for it in the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Nothing even close to “good” and “righteous” and “just.”
If you actually believe in individual freedom, liberty, and in/unalienable rights, then the only right, good, just, compassionate, equitable, practical, and common sense solution to our situation today is to amiably, peacefully, and fairly break apart between those who like the present liberal progressive, socialist-communist philosophy of government, and those of us who do not. It is not good nor wise nor just to force all of us to live together. We already have a volatile, widening chasm between us. It is foolish to try to force companionability, love, where there is none. As we’re experiencing, “familiarity breeds contempt.” And contempt breeds violence. It is supreme denial of reality and centuries of human experience to try to force unlike people to live together. Doesn’t work, won’t work, has never worked. It is the destruction of civilization and community. Do we have to force the inevitable outcome? Do we really have to commit suicide just to feel good about our “compassion” and “reasonableness”? Who does that benefit, other than the oligarchy who rule us and want even more?
Peaceful and equitable agreements can be worked out to mutual satisfaction and advantage, distributing to each neighboring sovereign state the military and defense establishments already within each. Every existing state has well-established military and defense bases and accommodations, supplies, and businesses dedicated to them. What is concentrated in a few states can be equitably disbursed among the new states (doesn’t have to be just two, “red” and “blue,” after all). New provisions and limitations will need to be worked out between the neighbors, of course. (And yes, stupid foreign wars will have to be ended, and our troops and navy must be brought home, to patrol and defend our own borders and coasts. DUH.)
Each independent sovereign nation must establish its own money system. New trade relationships will have to be negotiated and established. As will farming, manufacturing, distribution, etc. But a new beginning of peace and prosperity will flourish!
There is no reason “the red states”/”red country” cannot more than adequately provide for their own defense, as well as found far superior education and economy.
First, absolute private property rights, based on sovereign individual rights, must be established. This includes borders around each individual state, with entry “by invitation” and “sponsorship” only.
Second, any kind of central banking system must be absolutely and permanently prohibited, without exception. A great goal must be to end the Federal Reserve System.
Third, eliminate and abolish permanently all taxation. No one owes anyone, outside of direct, mutually agreed, contractual employment, any of their life, property, or labor.
We “red staters” supposedly have the advantages of hindsight, wisdom, the ability to learn from the mistakes of the past and not make them again, so to make “OUR SIDE” impregnable and GOOD.
There’s no reason, other than having been brainwashed from the cradle to a false set of ideas, we can’t make this a reality.
And wisdom would suggest the time to do it is now, while we can without bloodshed. This time is fast flowing away. We can see the writing on the wall. Will we just keep eating and drinking and enjoying the crumbs left from the banquet, or will we take heed and finally do the right thing?
This is why the Treehouse has the only comments section I thoroughly read each day. Outstanding post.
Ground report from Sacramento – Newsom will be a former governor come December.
C. “Bruce” Jenner will make sure Newson will keep his job. Jenner will see to it that conservatives will sit out the recall.
How?
Conservative wouldn’t vote for Michael Huffington and he was just bi and in 1994 when there were still quite a few conservative in California.
Michael Huffington sought to represent my district. What did him in was that the news went public of how he was a carpetbagger and tried to use his millions to buy the election. Before that news gained widespread attention, he was doing well in the run-up to the election. His campaign broke the record for the most expensive campaign for Congress anywhere in the nation. It was his personal fortune that he spent. That he was a homosexual didn’t come out until later.
The district was deeply red and rural. We didn’t cotton to an outsider dripping with cash. The district didn’t change from deep red until Warren Capps (D-Santa Barbara) died while in office. His wife, Lois, took office. The first thing she did was, like most Ds, to gerrymander our district into Santa Barbara, which was and is very progressive. Lois Capps often spoke of how much she loved being a nurse. Yet she was very active in pushing for abortion. That utterly disgusted me. I held that on that ground alone she should be disqualified from holding office. For ‘Breaking oaths’ if you are wondering.
How many Republicans will be running? The more that are the more diluted are the votes for those that WILL be voting. Meanwhile Jenner becomes momentarily newsworthy again. I suppose running for the office is as much about his ego as doing what is best for California.
It doesn’t work that way here. There are two different votes. One is to remove the sitting gov. If so then who should replace him? There is no run off…the highest vote getter wins.
So, Jenner has a chance? We do live in interesting times.
This conservative Californian will vote for none of the three (R) candidates currently running. What a let down after a successful recall drive. SMH
He looks like Nancy in that picture.
… All this corruption in plain site reminds me of Cecil B DeMille’s epic – Ten Commandments…
Is Liz Cheney a modern day “Dathan”?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dathan
Cheaters gotta cheat…
Makes you wonder if the Gig is almost up…. the leftist Cheating is getting BIGGER and in your face BOLDER.
Either that or they know that they are so well protected by their buddies in the MSM and Big Tech that they no longer even care about trying to cover their tracks…MOST of the sheeple do not know what is really happening (and they are too lazy to bother trying to find out) and all of the little piggies at their troughs don’t care about anything but their next check!! They will all finally wake up when the money finally runs out but by then it will be too late to right the ship! And if any of them want to cry to me, I will not be around to listen…
I saw media outlets calling this bailout a “miracle surplus.”
How stupid does someone have to be to not ask how a state, deeply in debt long before 2020, could suddenly be running a budget surplus after shutting down its economy for well over a year?
The miracle of California’s surplus happened in the early morning hours of November 7th, 2020, in voting precincts beyond the borders of the Chalcopyrite State.
Oh, it happened here too. Smartmatic just wasn’t needed as much.
The schools here are so bad there is practically no intelligent life here. On top of that look at the current candidates running. Faulconer is the consummate squish rino, Cox “the Beast” is fading and then there’s “legalize all the illegals” Caitlyn. We can only pray that Rick Grenell steps up to try and save our state
My wife and I moved out in the nineties to get out of there schools.
“There” schools haha
I always wonder how much the RNC pays Cox to run to avoid the embarrassment of not having a single GOP candidate.
I would love it if Grenell would throw his hat in the ring, but I don’t think he’s gonna. Where is Devin Nunes? He’d be my top of the pile choice, name recognition among Trump supporters and the only true patriot Republican to come forward with whole FISA spying and corruption of the Mueller ordeal
I’ve lived in Minneapolis my entire life. I’m leaving Friday. I no longer recognize my hometown. | The College Fix
College student Grace Bureau: “Minneapolis is my home. My happiest memories are here. It’s where I learned to ride a bike, had my first date, received my high school diploma. But today, I’m too afraid to even walk in my neighborhood by myself.
The ACE Hardware down the street? The one that I used to bike to in the summer? Robbed twice in the past five days.
The Walgreens next to my elementary school? Molotov cocktail thrown into it.
The Lake Harriet Bandshell, where we spent countless Mother’s Days? Homeless encampment popped up next door.
These are the things you don’t read about in the news.
Ten minutes from my house, at 38th and Chicago, there is still an autonomous zone. Police are not allowed to enter. Residents have died because medical authorities couldn’t get through, and carjackers (of which there are MANY) will speed into the zone to escape officer pursuit.
My favorite dinner theater canceled its production of Cinderella because it was “too white.”
My church — my beloved, tiny, Lutheran church — organized social justice marches for our congregation while refusing to reinstate in-person services (they’re still virtual, by the way).
And how about the week of the 2020 riots?
We lived under a curfew for days while looters seemingly roamed freely. Friends fled their home at 3:30 a.m. because the auto parts store behind them was on fire. And then we watched in horror as our City Council members demanded that the city defund the police — as they hired armed security for themselves.
I no longer recognize Minneapolis. I no longer want to live here. We are done, and I am leaving.
I’ve spent the past year watching this city crumble. Burning it wasn’t enough, I guess. Every day, I watched another piece of sanity and stability fall to the hysterical, bloodthirsty, self-righteous mob.
You distinguish between rioters and protestors? Racist. You do not want Marxist-inspired racial justice theories to be promoted in schools? Racist. You thought that maybe “Justice for George Floyd” should be left to the courts, and not mob rule? Super, super racist.
And where were our leaders providing stability and calm and confidence in the system? Nowhere to be found. What we did find were crazed politicians spouting fire and brimstone (I’m looking at you, Maxine Waters and John Thompson) and leaving us to pay the price.
Let me be clear: this city’s demise wasn’t just violent protests and burning buildings, or crime skyrocketing and businesses fleeing. It was also political indoctrination, hypocritical leadership, and the suppression of oppositional thought.
Any condemnation of the violence was denounced as “racist.” Billboards stating simply “Support MN Police” were brutally vandalized. Schools supported BLM walkouts for their students, then shut down in-person classes for fear of violent riots. And all of this happened against the backdrop of our illogical, inconsistent, overly oppressive COVID-19 restrictions.
It’s easy to look at (for lack of a better word) disaster zones like these and mentally distance yourself from them. Yeah, that’s awful, but those people choose to live there. They’re the ones electing these leaders. This is their problem. Yeah, it is. It is our problem.
And I can’t help but look around and wonder, “What happened here? Where exactly did it all go wrong?” Was it the liberal mob? Identity politics? The cries of “RACIST!” when someone disagreed with a particular reaction or policy?
Was it conservative silence as the loudest voices got more and more radical?
Was it our acceptance that “we live in a blue area, this is just the way things are?”
How did it all happen so fast?
Whatever it was, I’m leaving this dark, surreal, twisted version of Minneapolis on Friday. And I pray to God that I never have to come back.”…….
Thank you, Gipper, for posting this.
I guess all I ask is….anyone who is America First and a hiring manager…READ the resumes of people applying especially the cover letters.
These CCP Dems usually self identify with the language they use in their cover letter and resume.
Pitch their resume in the trash. Rip it into 1,000 pieces, crumble it up & shoot it in the trash like a basketball, reverse dunk it.
Research their social media if you’re really serious about a prospect.
Use their own tactics on them.
It’s just one small thing we can do.
That’s horrible, Gipper! I’m sorry. I don’t know what’s happened, either.
I no longer recognize my two home states, but I especially do not recognize my country.
I am still very pizzed off. That Communist Siriaka Witless Harry, obamination’s lover boy, added to it with his attack on the First Amendment. No doubt obamination is coaching the low IQ joke of a prince.
Fantastic post Gipper and thank you!!
I’m copying, pasting and sharing to all in my group.
Godspeed Gipper.
“How did it all happen so fast?”
One can listen to the interview of the crazy city council representative still espousing defund the police during the middle of the riots and know how it happened. I’m sorry to oversimplify, but that is how it happened.
Democrat mayors were ORDERED to stand down and let the Democrat Paramilitaries burn their cities down in order to destabilize America and cost President Trump the election. Yet he still won in a landslide. Probably even helped him.
It is sad to see a young American forced to flee her hometown like a war-torn refugee situation.
But that’s exactly what it is. This Occupation Junta has declared War on America.
What went wrong?
I doubt it was simply coincidence, that during the last 70 years, the African American population increased from 1% to 20%.
Americans are Suffering from the Far-Left Radical Socialist Policies of Joe Biden and Nancy .
Skin color has nothing to do with it.
Wrong.
The imported “refugees” from Somalia, which Obama specifically placed in Minnesota, have had almost everything to do with turning Minneapolis into a third-world sh*t-hole city.
This problem didn’t develop and manifest itself in just these past 12 months– it’s a problem which has been festering for at least the past 10-12 years. After the moslims outnumbered the Lutherans, though, the transformation was well on its way!
Mogadishu refugee Ilham Omar, along with her seven siblings and their father were just some of the thousands of lovely, new “immigrants” to Minnesota, who Obama relocated there, almost as soon as he took office. These families brought their rich ethnic heritage along with them, which in turn has made Minneapolis such a highly desirable destination for so many people today– especially if one is lucky enough to obtain residency in the autonomous “No-Go” zones, where law enforcement is prohibited!
Why, it’s almost like being back home in Somalia!
It was actually Clinton that started the cultural enrichment of Minneapolis. Bush/Obama continued these policies.
I also thought I read 1/2 of Ilhan’s siblings settled in UK. I don’t believe all 7 ever came here.
Everyone not lying to themselves predicted when the federal government under Bill Clinton – aided and abetted by Lutheran Social Services, Catholic Charities and World Relief Minnesota — plopped 30,000 Somalis down into the midst of the kind, virtue-signaling, eager-to-help Midwesterners of Minneapolis (of which I am one) that it would lead to some grave consequences for our community.
Now, due to continuing refugee placements as well as chain migration there are an estimated 80,000 Somalis living in the Twin Cities metro area, or more like 79,000 if you subtract those who’ve left the country to join terrorist organizations like ISIS.
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/06/somalis_have_changed_minneapolis.html
Yep, that’s EXACTLY how leftists work it. Someone dared to mention the demographic shift – and that discussion is met with …
“the suppression of oppositional thought” via “The [cry] of “RACIST!””
It has a lot to do with it except the ‘color’ in itself isn’t the issue, it’s commonality of history. Lucifer is a master of manipulating groups into opposition. The group in question is especially vulnerable to this. By and large they want a pound of flesh and compensation for the suffering previous Africans endured. It’s being handed to them by vote-greedy professionals and they are working it for everything they can get.
Godspeed Gip.
Thanks–but its a young student named Grace.

It won’t bring back customers or replace equipment sold off for pennies on the dollar to pay bills during the shutdown or boost my opinion of Newsom and the other Communists in CA but hey if I get a nice parting gift while giving them the finger on the way out, OK. Sad to say as an Eisenhower CA native, but screw them.
If a Republican governor tried pulling these types of questionable shenanigans, the Democrats would have him/her tied up in endless lawsuits.
When are “our” legal beagles going to get on the hunt?
If we cannot have 100% confidence that our elections are free and fair, then none of this matters anymore. They will do everything they can to make sure it is not, but if we fight them on nothing else, we better be sure about this. All Americans need to get involved in the process at the state and local level, and make D sure it’s as airtight as you can get it. There is nothing too low for these people, and their cockiness about wrecking things seems to indicate they are positive 2022 is a lock. The biggest failure on our part is underestimating their corruption. We can’t afford to be suckers ever again.
Well said. Absolutely.
CA native here,,We stay because it’s our home and we are not going to let the progressives keep winning and ruining our great state.. This ‘Gangster’ Newsom is going down in the special election.. We pray someone of substance steps up to run..
Good luck, you will have to get rid of the unions first.
I misread “CA captive.” A Freudian misread. You poor thing. Yes, fight, fight, fight. You can absolutely take back your state. Notice how you tried on that RINO Schwartzeneggar, just need a real deal but we never know until we try who will be. Never give up. And if the rest of us can ever help, please let us know how.
Governor Devin Nunes has a nice ring to it.
I’d be curious to see how large of a percentage of Hispanic vote Nunes would bring. It may be the winning percentage. I still wouldn’t expect much with a 2/3 CCP majority in the capitol. But I’ll gladly try him out.
It’s genetic.
There is some uncertainty regarding depiction of this approach.
Is is a white skull and crossed bones upon a black field, or other way round?
Today in SoCal (Agoura hills) a massive Trump/ American flag parade was out and about. Also a lot of signs that read “equality- not equity”. So it seems some are not buying Gavin’s scheme.
In short? Yes it will work. He will not be recalled. The public employee union members , state and county workers, non profits and silicon Valley will not vote to recall. They got big money while main Street suffered and they want to continue the flow. He will stay in. Sadly. I just hope he’s done nationally, but I’m betting the Dems will appoint him to some office and also he will take Feinsteins seat when she goes. He should be finished but he’s not. Take it to the bank.
You are right. He will not lose his chair.
Nor his hair.
.
You mean he is going to purchase the office . . . again?
If it looks like Newsom is going to lose the Governorship he will voluntarily resign and his Lieutenant will take over. She will continue his leftist reign for him.
Newsome is NOT going to be recalled.
A few from a far!
The Uniparty appears to far reaching tentacles.
There appears never to be any pushback against this gangsterism of your “ Progressive Left”
Crazy I know, but secession is inevitable. Maybe not in my lifetime, but it’s coming.
The E.U. is teetering..most nations are just “ sucking the teat” the money is drying up fast.
Real investment is heading to the U.K. not the “baby nations”
The U.S. appears to be in terminal financial collapse.
What entrepreneur will risk investment in your cities.
American Universities are by and large “ idiot factories” our youngest was offered scholarships at a few U.S. colleges.
We attended a couple of them to see what all the hype was about.
Our son considered only one, and then said no thanks.
His contacts had told him stay in Canada as the “ racial issues” etc “ Trump” everything else.
I am a bit of a “negative Nellie “ financially speaking.
I have never been more pessimistic about the U.S.A.s financial future.
The California economy was the 6th largest in the world, maybe still is.
It’s whole being is maintained by illusion.
“To big to fail” I guess so, but the debt is on someone’s books.
Gavin Newsom is NOT going to be recalled.
If I was a a Dem I would take all my money and bet on that.
Good luck
This is what one should find so darned endearing, compelling in fact, about our country’s Democrat party: their unwavering commitment to perpetuating good government.
This absolutely cannot be questioned.
If you know what’s good for you.
So the fraud pot has been replenished. Yea, that’ll work smh
Newsome circles back with the cash.
I’m in CA. Newsom is throwing taxpayer money and bailouts around like candy.
A vision of Leftist Paradise: Cherubs heaving wades of other people’s money like they were Satchel Paige replicating the Blizzard of ’88 with C notes.
Smart people take the handout and still vote the SOB out of office. “Once bitten…”
Just not sure how many smart people still live in CA, most have made the smarter move to “Red States”
But we don’t have smart people. We have people who went to public school in CA, we have a large black pop. that still votes Dem, we have whites who were raised Dem in the Civil Rights Era and just can’t shake the shame of saying, “I vote for a Republican,” we have a huge bureaucracy so you know what that means: public employees who vote Dem.
In the case of the latter: I blame the GOP. They always told the state employees, the school employees, the local city employees that only when the state coffers were healthy would they receive raises. For many years those people did not get COLA increases when the private sector was doing well.
I can say that the GOP has not simply been NOT fair to those people years ago; they were flat out stingy.
That gave the Dems a power base they have NEVER relinguished.
Making things even worse, those people, particularly teachers, form the worker bees of the state Dem or
WHY do people blame the GOP WHEN they voted for the DEM?
its a mystery to me
So, who is the most likely candidate running against him and do they have a chance? Or is it going to be “Confused Bruce” whose only goal in life is to garner attention and who has no chance of defeating Gruesome Newsom? I so wish Ric Grennell would jump in and call him out of this obvious bribery scheme, courtesy of Auntie Nancy and the Swamp Things!!
The only way Grennell could win is if there were at least two well-publicized debates, very little early voting, and local tv news shows that let the two duke it out and were fair in their coverage.
Odds of that?
After all, the average CA doesn’t know who Ric is and the average person in CA will not be impressed that he was/is close to Trump.
I think nationally the people don’t understand that the recall of Gray Davis and Arnold’s subsequent run is very different from this situation.
Thank you for a very informative and honest answer! I agree that the majority of Californians do not have a clue how bad Newsom really is and the media has no intention of allowing them to find out… I’m in the same situation living in Washington state. Our Governor is an absolute moron but the media protects him at every turn and therefore he has survived without ever holding a real job for the majority of his adult life!
Agree completely. CA political power is owned by the progrssives here full stop. The GOP reduced its footprint in this state long ago. This is no longer the state of Reagan and Nixon. A progressive court system, academia, news, legislature and public employee and other unions greased with state and federal monies not to mention the non profits and others that benefit from the grift and largesse. People don’t get it. This state is not going to change anytime soon.
Even if he survives it don’t matter the state won’t. Yesterday I read for the first time in history more people left California then came in.
it will catch-up to them I have no doubt….
To be truthful, California has been losing Americans for two decades and foreign workers — legal and illegal — are replacing them mostly from Central and South America, and in the Bay Area from Asia (China, India, etc). Example article linked below from several years ago.
Wonder why CA has gone downhill? Culture is downstream from race, and California is now majority-minority (ie, less than 50% white). It’s never turning around.

Thats what makes the 2020 census so untenable.
Why am I reminded of Wm Burroughs reference to “velvet rubbers”?
He is definitely doing his part and he OWNS it!

Nuck Fewsome!
2017-2018 marked The 100-year anniversary of The Bolshev1k Revolution.
It should be no surprise that we find ourselves here.
Crook. Just like most of the rest of the Dems.
NJ Murphy doing the same thing. Giving these FED tax $ allocated by crooked congress to illegals and ghetto cities for votes.
Of course this is the the blue state bail out we’ve all been talking about. Same thing coming up with Infrastructure Bill which is more chock full of social program spending than real infrastructure spending.
The Uniparty is now more blatently stealing and redistributing tax money for political preservation and power expansion.
Perfect adaptation of Alinsky financial Ju Jitsu also used by Soros. We’re paying for our own demise.
How is it that Gavin is allowed on the ballot after being recalled? Seems weird to me ??♀️
The recall is NOW on the ballot. He has NOT been recalled.
The signatures gathered were done so in order to put the question, “Should Gavin Newsom be recalled as the Governor of the State of California” ON THE BALLOT.
Thanks – that sums it up well ?
It is beyond criminal what these communist are doing with our children’s future.
Sounds illegal to me. Misappropriating federal WhuFlu funds, violating equal justice by paying off some peoples fines but not others.
Reason enough to recall his arse!
I have no idea what is going on but the polls must be devastating for the Dem governors because NC Gov Cooper announced on Thursday that all C0vid guidelines were done, over…no masks, no social distancing, no occupation limits on businesses. Only one really bad thing, kids must continue wearing masks in school…that must be the teachers. Only a couple of weeks ago he said we would be masked until 2/3’s of citizens are vaccinated…now no vaccination required to demask.
The people her are pretty deranged at his point. I was out today and there definitely were more people without masks in all the stores but the majority were still wearing them and they have their kids all masked up…sick.
Color me shallow, but I think I could withstand the liberals demanding to wear masks if it means I only have to see half their ugly mugs. ?
But….his hair is…Perfect!
Have got to admit that while Democrats may wear the mantle of doofus, they also know how to spread the dough to buy the votes to keep their power. With trillion dollar budgets flowing from DC, the Democrats will keep that lubricant going to keep the votes flowing.
$300 million to forgive traffic violations??? If you’re spending money on something to pay of a debt, that’s not forgiveness; it’s putting that money right back into the state and counties pockets. These are traffic violations, not restitution owed for damages. They are literally washing the fed money right in the open. I’m so glad we moved out of that state last year!!!
Iamtheghostrummer: Yeah, I saw this $300 million “forgiveness” this morning. Total scam. Just pocketing the money, while letting deadbeats off the hook.
Liberals, progressives, far left, or whatever else they call themselves. One thing is constant, they never tire of using other people’s money (tax payers) for political gain. Corruption defines them.
he’s getting really nothing But Bad , he should just quit before people drag him out of office,
tune in to https://home.frankspeech.com/ all the facts on what is going on in America and how to stop the violence this country is going through.
Moral bankruptcy isn’t preventing a politically corrupt Juice-‘Em Newsom from using bankrupt Federal monies to bribe Californians to further bankrupt their State.
The Getty/Brown/Pelosi/Newsom oligarchy has been sowing the seeds of its own demise for generations; I only hope that harvest comes sooner rather than later for everyone else’s sake.
This guy is such a psychopath, it creeps me out just looking at him. He’s like a prop out of an old Vincent Price movie
The vote is a total sham in Kahleefohnia. The only time they fake it away from someone as corrupt as this is when even the fixers understand a full on revolution will happen if they keep their particular puppet du jour in.
To be totally superficial for a second here ….this man looks like a serial killer. Mitt Romney, Newsome, the crooked Lt. Gov of Georgia and Joe Scarborough all have the same robotic uncanny valley asexual Ken doll hair and freakish look. They are weird. You can see it. It should be handsome but isn’t. The amount of time it must take to attend to every single follicle and “crease” in the clothing should only be devoted to an actor playing a vampire in a lousy B movie.
Sociopath.
And note Obama had the same look for awhile when running for office too. Always beautifying themselves and just end up looking very, very vomitous and disturbing. Blech.
Does the Hatch Act in any way apply to the misdeeds of Newsome?
Expect even bigger “stimulus checks” to be given out bu the Biden admin as the midterm election approaches. The Dems have seen that giving away checks absolutely does buy votes. Print the money … buy lots of votes. Let someone else a few years from now worry about the economic consequences and destruction of the dollar.
The recall is due to WAY more than COVID. Anyone in California with an IQ higher than room temperature knew that Newsom’s IQ was below room temperature before he was elected. Unfortunately he and “governor” Brown dinner-belled every welfare bum and illegal immigrant into the state they could, to get them elected. Now the DNC is repeating this success across the country. This is what it’s all about; easily steered, uneducated masses voting Democrats into power. Why do yo think Biden turned our border into a screen door on a submarine? Conservatives in California TRIED to warn the rest of the country that this was going to happen… No one listened… They were too busy wishing we would fall into the ocean, and that God had it out for us. Have fun looking for a lifeboat, kids…
Paying it forward has a whole different meaning to the left…
…as long as public service unions and private sector unions have as much influence as they do in “politics” snake-men like Newsom will be there, doing whatever it takes to keep the union bosses happy and themselves in the catbird seat…
