What starts in California spreads like cancer to the rest of the country. Newsom must be voted out and never voted back in (not even as school janitor), assuming American ballot boxes aren't so captured that stopping him is impossible.

Interesting. That place had dominated agency regulations because of its humongous population but now is losing that population so fast that maybe illegals will not make up the losses. Then sane,regulation can commence.

like I said.. I just heard from a friend of mine.. his "sister" called him.. after five years.. for no other reason but to tell him that "THEY WENT TO CALIFORNIA" and didn't like the 'Tremors'.. yeah right.. I could write a BOOK on how much I HATE CALIFORNIA. ESPECIALLY SAN FRANCISCO.. been there too.. never met a more arrogant self serving group of people in my life. The Hotel, the infamous Wharf.. so called.. (I was on a job) was so rude I moved to the Army Base the Presidio in San Francisco to avoid all the junkies.. homeless people and bums.. yeah,, I mean that..

I call it San FagCisco; after all that I have seen about it, I will never set foot in it...

I would like to see CA cut up into 2-3 states; there are a lot of republicans in the state that do not live in the blue city enclaves...

Uncle Mikey's avatar

Amen! All along our west coast it is painfully evident! When individuals usurp personal responsibility in deference to government control, this is the ultimate result. Edit: Maybe us men outta start voting for the least attractive person and the most ethical. Tulsi Gabbard would get my vote. 😊 unfortunately good looks influence my decision making process too. 😊

I can tell you it spreads to Connecticut without delay.

I'm seeing recent reports that 315k illegitimate ballots were counted in Georgia alone in November 2020. I don't dig down too much, knowing the key questions are NOT about the truth of the matter, but rather are about whether the so-called authorities will demonstrate any official interest in massive fraud. And I still ask the question to myself: Are there really that many people who'll look at the handiwork of Gavin Newsom, and say, "More, please." (?)

I could work myself into a lather about the stupidity of voting for a Newsom. But I know there are my 180-degree counterparts saying the same thing about Trump and Trump's voters. We come face-to-face with irreconcilable differences.

"Suicidal empathy." In the language of globalist inversion, "empathy" is camouflaged malice, and "philanthropy" is population reduction and subjugation.

For me, litigating this travesty re: 2020 election is moot ( indeed, it may also be mute 🤣 (sorry, not)); what’s not moot, nor should it be is the civil lawsuit Rudy lost over his allegations there was something fishy (sanitized vocab in use) about the ballot counting there. I fear this may be moot as well but if not I hope Rudy and some very powerful people are looking into this.

James Lord's avatar

We are dealing with a class of people whose ruthlessness is effectively infinite. And they have worked their way to the levers of power, enabling them to work havoc so immense that no human justice could ever set things aright again.

Rudy is a casualty of a just struggle. I don't know about what might have transpired behind the scenes, but I never saw even Trump step up for Rudy as the latter was enduring these official torments.

The number of ballots printed should not exceed the number of registered voters. The number of ballots counted should equal the number of registered voters who showed up in person to vote. When people register to vote they should be issued a dated voter identification card, a card that must be presented on Election Day to receive a ballot.

James Lord's avatar

Agreed. The problem is compounded when those charged with policing the shoulds and should nots range from willfully passive bystanders to active participants in the fraud. Even with nominal Republicans like Kemp and Raffensperger calling the shots in GA, the whole thing stunk to high heaven. And it wasn't just in GA, of course. Project Veritas was documenting shenanigans all over the country. No one in an official capacity seemed to care.

I count this as a case successfully suppressed: that of Jesse Morgan, a contract big rig hauler for the USPS. His trailer, loaded with hundreds of thousands of ballots on his route circuit through New York and Pennsylvania, vanished from the USPS lot under obviously suspicious circumstances. Most of the handful of links I had to the video in which he gave his account of events have vanished. This short one still works, wherein Morgan told Steve Bannon that the FBI's interest in the case seemed limited to harassment of Morgan's family.

As a Californian, I can say that Gavin Newsom hates us, and does everything he can to punish us because he knows the feeling is mutual.

Science is Political 2.0's avatar

MOVE. I can't believe my sister in law still lives in Coronado... they have a nice little house in Arlington.. Oh well when you live on someone else trust it doesn't matter.

I get to look at myself w/ clean hands and clean conscious.. PRAISE THE LORD.. :) and MERRY CHRISTMAS. :)

Karen Baetz's avatar

Merry Christmas! We will move, but not while my parents are still here. They're 86 & 87 and not in good health, and I help care for them. BUT, we will move as soon as we can!

No mystery about Newsom, a WEF trainee.

As were others who locked down their states and countries, like Gretchen Whitmer and Justin Trudeau, and and all too many U.S. politicians.

oldguy52's avatar

We need to beat this drum.... HARD!

I hear far too few people speak of the dangers of allowing the unimaginably rich malignant narcissists at the WEF anywhere near any position of power. If they are allowed, they will have us all scared, broke and shivering in the dark while we beg for a few scraps of their benevolence.

Dee's avatar

Why do we all speak as though none of us or the people will fight this?

oldguy52's avatar

Because, right now, those of us who speak like this are NOT the majority.

If we keep talking loud enough and long enough we may get there, but we ain't there yet.

Leo's avatar

Take a look at the overarching powers coming to AI. It will control our lives beyond anything the WHO/WEF people even dreamed of.

oldguy52's avatar

Be careful what you wish for.

A large share of the people behind AI development are globalist (another way of saying WEF) sycophants. Like our upcoming generations of children, these machines are going to "learn" and lean towards the ideas their developers (aka teachers) instill in them. In fact, I would posit that the WEF is behind/pushing much of this current AI revolution.

Leo's avatar

oldguy52 - Are you thinking that I wish for that?? Hardly...!

oldguy52's avatar

Well, maybe "wish for" was a poor choice of words.

That doesn't change my belief that it would be a mistake to underestimate the level of involvement of the WEF in AI development.

Leo's avatar

Oldguy52 - I couldn't agree more! I did not even suggest that the WEF was not involved in AI. The Globalists are all in on it!

God forbid he becomes president. He’s continued and expanded the destruction of California, and he will do the same to US if he gets a chance. Will barely survived Biden and his clowns. We don’t need another clown in the WH.

SR Miller's avatar

Seems to me that all one needs to do in political adverts against political weasels squirming out of California is to show, with or without voice overs, Malibu today - perhaps with flashbacks of the fire(s), empty reservoirs, and canceled firemen who were politically incorrect.

Barbara Williamson's avatar

I fail to understand why some attorney hasn’t started a class action lawsuit against Newsom and Bass….?? Surely there were attorneys living in the Palisades…! The drained condition of the empty reservoir, unrepaired for YEARS, thus no water for back up during California’s WELL KNOWN “FIRE SEASON.” People DIED because of his lack of proper leadership! He is far too busy with his face in cameras to worry about the tax paying citizens of the state, for which he is RESPONSIBLE!!! If elected President, he would do the exact same thing, only on a broader more destructive scale!! He is a product of the Pelosi school of politics….the country comes LAST!! Take full advantage of insider trading to make your fortune, then leave the mess. Thanks, Nancy. No one is sorry to see you LEAVE! Too bad it wasn’t sooner.

James Schwartz's avatar

Newsome won’t be president. He’s not a likable guy for independents. He talks with his hands which just makes him look weird. He tried a podcast to speak with republicans which he quit when he was getting destroyed on public policy. He has taken California so far down the toilet that most of the state hates him. California only needs LA and SF to control the whole state. Which is where he gets his support from. The other states that follow California are all in the same boat yet haven’t suffered as much yet but are getting close. New York plus Illinois and NJ are all high tax states that people are fleeing by the thousands. His policies aren’t popular across the country. He would be as bad as Biden but worse because he does have a brain that works.

California Voters are either stupid or vote counters are acting in their own self interest. $4.50 for gas, parents have not right to parent their children, gun owners have no right to defend themselves, Doctors are prohibited from prescribing Ivermectin when it’s over the counter in 4 states, among the highest taxes and the worst management of our taxes, 30 billion stolen in Plandemic fraud from jail cells, billions spent on homeless management while the homeless population grows, billions spent to study building a bullet train but not even any track and the money is gone, closing nuclear power down while trying to force EV’s, no attempt to build more water storage in decades, banning paper bags and requiring plastic only to now ban plastic and require paper, ban plastic straws, require recycling then dump all the trash in the same place, pay illegal immigrants health care and schooling… I’ve lived long enough in CA to see this idiot of a governor destroy San Francisco and now the entire state. He’s really a Tim Waltz clone in sheep’s clothing.

In HB when we enact sane policies Newsom and Bonta are in the courthouse filing against us.

I grew up in Sherman Oaks (next to Van Nuys in the San Fernando Valley). I attended Van Nuys High and we all thought the “Valley Girls” were silly, self-centered airheads. They were nothing like the rest of us who concentrated on learning and not which high class label was sewn on the expensive jeans you were wearing. “Plastic people” we called them. They are all grown up now but you can see their offspring on the “Real Housewives” shows. If your purse doesn’t have a name sewn on it and cost at least four digits, you just aren’t worth knowing. There are much more important things in life, but they haven’t a clue. Everything is fake…..eyelashes, bust, hair, facelift, injections, surgeries galore. They never stop to think how hard that is on their bodies to be under anesthesia….time and time and time again. There was a young woman in our church who had two babies and wanted to have a firm bust again. She went in for surgery and never came off the table alive. Her kids grew up without a mother. Now really…was that boob job worth it?

CMCM's avatar

Since I live up in the hills of Northern California, I haven't been around those Valley Girls, although I do know of them from SNL skits.

Larry Cox's avatar

The Valley Girl culture is pervasive in southern California, and has been spread to other regions via TV shows made in the region.

There are perfectly decent women who talk and act like Valley Girls because that's the culture they grew up in. And there are evil women who don't act that way at all. While I find the "valley" affect creepy, it is not the ultimate determinant of who is competent and who isn't. But it does make it harder to tell.

CMCM's avatar

Actually, probably since I'm influenced by SNL skits more than ever being around that valley girl type person, they always came across as rather vacuous and stupid. The evil women I'm aware of don't sound like that at all, and they can certainly pull the wool over the eyes of unsuspecting people.

Joseph Kaplan's avatar

My wife was a true valley girl. She grew up in the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles in the fifties. This where the term originated. It was 1968 when I moved to LA for my first job out of the army we married and I rescued her and took back east. Her entire family in LA is 100% Calif liberals. It was a close call for her but after 57 years (yesterday) she is totally MAGA.

Kim's avatar

What was done to CA, really the entire west, is not the result of the incompetence of one man. It seems way too strategic for Newsom to pull off. It was really stunning to be an eyewitness to the disintegration, watching exquisite places trashed with the government’s outspoken encouragement to trash ever more. Certainly every illegal who feels CA is stolen land will vote for Newsom, every person who thinks the state should be dismantled will vote for him, any ties to China will probably support him, any person who can’t make it there and needs handouts will vote for him and then there are the “progressives” who ideologically can’t vote Republican. This is a mess. Investigating the NGO’s and any ties to foreign countries should be immediate. And as they try to fill the financial gap with taxing the rich, hopefully it will be judged unconstitutional, if possible. Starve the corruption.

You're right. It is all part of Agenda 21.

Paula Mitchell's avatar

I was a San Diego native for 57 years, I never thought I'd leave but, the people have become such socialists they have zero respect for anyone or their property. Doc, you've only scratched the surface of the rot, rot so bad we had to leave while we still could, Newscum is constantly seeking ways to get money from the hard working middle class. It scares me the thought of him becoming President. California has elections set up so Republicans rarely get elected. We've moved to East Tennessee but, I see things changing scary fast here, in only 6 years I see some of Californias tactics and policies around us We must prevent Newcum from becoming President.

Barbara Lekowicz's avatar

Paula, I moved from my beloved Colorado, as it was rapidly becoming a CA clone, to middle TN. Now I am watching it also changing into insane liberal policies! We’re fighting but like in Colorado, the libs are moving here too fast!

Paula Mitchell's avatar

Just like in California all of the crazies move in and take over. I pray Tennessee doesn't turn out like that!

California used to be a red state just like TN I hope the people here are stronger and not as laid back as Californians.

Judith Johnson's avatar

Same here. My family came to Santa Barbara in 1876. I am a fourth generation Californian. We finally had to leave in 2023. It was heartbreaking to sell the ranch we developed over the last 30 years-the place where we raised our kids, but we just could not stay any longer. For years, we knew that our votes never mattered except in the local elections. After Covid, even that was questionable since our rural red zone was infiltrated by zoom workers from the urban centers, mostly LA, but some from SF. Sad, but true for many people. We relocated to the Hill Country of Texas where we hope to help keep it red.

Margaret Allison's avatar

And the last statement about Gavin Newsome says it all! No longer a Golden State. Time for parents to move on and out!

Stephen Waters's avatar

We moved our family from Chicago to California in 1984, and really have enjoyed the national parks and great weather in CA. Under the leadership of Gavin Newsom, California leads the nation in a large number of important areas: CA is #1 in Homelessness, #1 in Poverty, #1 in Addiction, #1 in Gas Prices, #1 in Income Tax, #1 in Gas Tax, #1 in Budget Deficit, #1 in Retail Theft, #1 in Citizen Exodus, #1 in Covid Mandates, #1 in Covid School Closures, #1 in Covid Business Closures, #1 in Illegal Immigration, #1 in Illiteracy, #1 in Wage Stagnation, #1 in Frivolous Lawsuits, #1 in Worker Restrictions and #1 in Anti-Business Regulations. Gavin is very experienced – he can not only tell lies using his mouth, but can also tell lies using just his hands. He’s run CA into massive debt and yes - it’s Trump’s fault. Just imagine what he will be able to achieve as President!

CMCM's avatar

You nailed it! 🤣

Joy Metcalf's avatar

I had suspected for a long time that the "like...like...like...like" that's so sprinkled through the speech of so many came from California. Now, did Frank Zappa cause it or just report it? Just one more banal thing to come from California culture. I always want to slap someone up the side of the head and tell them to spit out the verbal tics and just speak, for goodness sake. What's most disturbing is that I hear so many podcasters, even those past middle age, scattering "like....like....like...." throughout. No wonder so much of the world considers Americans uneducated dolts. Even those who are intelligent and educated use the same annoying "filler" words.

BonnieMae's avatar

California (and maybe the entire country) need mandatory Toastmasters classes!! It was so eye-opening when I joined years ago, to have filler words called out, and other speaking faux pas!

Joy Metcalf's avatar

Excellent idea! Mandatory Toastmasters instead of mandatory vaccines!
