‘Watching in Real Time as Two-Term Gov. Gavin Newsom
Destroys California With Devastating Policies’
.
“One of the benefits of a two-term governor is voters actually get to see the fruits of his policies while he is still in office. If he is a low-tax, budget-cutting, regulations-cutting, pro-2A, liberty-loving 1A governor, life gets better – more money in your bank account, less government harassment of your business, and the freedom to speak and gather, as well as addressing your government, is much more comfortable.
.
If he is not, and is instead a “progressive” politician who advocates for Maoist policies planning on being immune from the effects and is say, Gavin Newsom, well, you get the swift and appalling degradation of California.”

So Sam Bateman freed has now been sentenced to jail for stealing all the people’s money who invested with him. Now I wish the Democrat Party would give back the $500 million that he gave them from those stolen funds, and return it to the investors. This crook knew how to throw money to other crooks. It is now becoming clear that President Biden is also a crook taking money from communist China and Russia.
Sam Bankman-Fried
Wouldn’t we be guilty of possession of stolen property?
Ok so receiving and possessing stolen money is not against the law now. Got it. I know a black guy who went to jail for buying something from craigslist that turned out stolen. But I guess if you’re a democrat and given stolen money it’s not a crime. Yeah sure
How much will Trump win when he sues for all these false accusations and arrests? It so fun to watch all these “iron clad” cases fall apart for you miserable democrats EVERY TIME. We even got a mugshot out of it. You fools never should have believed the “news” tell you he’s going to prison for realzies this time. Take your COVID HOAX mask off and get a clue 🤣🤣🤣
Trump will get nothing in his suits, unlike the woman that got $5,000,000 from him for sexual assault!
But you just keep loving on this looser
She got NOTHING! Who you lying to? Yourself as usual 🤣🤣
May 9 , 2923 Reuters . Read the article. She won her civil suit . Trump has to pay the $5,000,000.
But it’s OK if you want to defend Trumps every action after all ,as he says” They are coming after you through me”
Oh and pigs can fly
You sure have a way with words and facts. Never let the truth get in the way of a good lie frankie baby.
FRANK,
.
Donald Trump has a judgment against him, but that doesn’t mean “Trump has to pay $5,000,000,” it means E. Jean Carroll has to collect $5,000,000.00 from him.
Says Frank – from the “Reuters article of May 9, 2923…”
Time travel much?
That being said (assuming that you just fail to proofread your own posts), I guess you didn’t read the articles about appeals.
Learn something about the law, sonny.
Frank — You appear to be dense. They tried to Impeach Trump twice. It didn’t stick! Why is it not obvious to you that he really has not done anything wrong?
E. Jean Carroll is a very ugly. I don’t believe Donald Trump made a pass at her.
What do you expect from someone who doesn’t even pay his own lawyers? Nothing
Still as ineffectual as always. Thanks for never disappointing us.
Well Maga.
Trump told his followers to Fight like hell” and sent them to congress.
126 policemen injured and its no doubt fine with you . And it’s certainly Ok to keep boxes of top secret stuff laying around. .
But you and Trump love this country , right ?
You should send the billionaire money because he needs it to fight for us. Right?
Well clown, given that it just came out in court Trump still holds DOE clearance (even to this day) which is the highest level in the world, why wouldn’t he have WHATEVER top secret stuff stored securely in the winter White House?
.
Again selective with your facts. “peacefully go to the capitol and make your voices heard” is much different. Fight like hell, peacefully. 🤣🤣🤣 126 police got boo-boos, oh the horror. Shouldn’t steal elections and none of this would happen. Nobody was armed for this protest unlike the gangs of blm/transtefa who murdered cops in cold blood in the months prior. Let me know how upset you are about David Dorn.
.
Speaking of david’s, david duke supported biden. Your truth 🤣🤣 is garbage.
Frank: There was a fun video circulating months ago, I think they call it a mashup, of basically dozens of examples of all major Democrat politicians using the expression to fight for something in their speeches. Biden’s campaign used the phrase battle for the soul of America.
Some people are perfect examples of why Biden is in office. They believe everything someone else tells them to believe, especially when it comes from the corrupt propaganda news media.
Change channels Frank. MSNBC has brainwashed you.
Trump’s already got more than $5 million worth from his recent suits – in free publicity. The mugshot alone is worth 10 X that amount.
Each new indictment just shows what a joke our judicial system has become. Persecution of a political opponent is so Third World.
That mugshot will still be making money in a hundred years.

DEMs began their experiment about a decade ago up in Washington state, Workers with few job skills working minimum wage jobs receiving government benefits found they had less money at end of the month because of minimum wage increase.
Doesn’t make sense does it?
.
Higher government mandated wages resulted in workers making too much money, meaning they lost government benefits. Some no longer qualified for subsidized housing.
Cost of child care when those workers wages went up, further negating wage increase.
Result, employees requested fewer hours to regain and retain government benefits.

Politicians thought raising minimum wage was a great way to get people off public assistance using employer’s money.

Shout out to San Francisco Mayor London Breed. She is most likely sweating heavily and not from being over-weight, but because APEC is approaching and she needs the city painted, scrubbed, washed, and steam-cleaned before the dignitaries arrive thanks to a $2 million dollar BEAUTIFICATION funded by the good pasty white Liberals of that city. You know someone in the White House has made calls to her advising to ensure the place looks cleaned-up for once since she has been Mayor, or else she can kiss any future political ambitions goodbye. Local media outlets are reporting CHP, Sheriff, Police, and DOJ personnel are out making numerous drug-busts in the Tenderloin and homeless encampments seem to be disappearing. Both the Police and Sheriff have set up mobile commands to be on high alert for any thieves attempting smash and grabs while APEC is going on. Sadly, most of us know that once APEC is over, the derelict will be released from jail and the homeless will be removed from their 4 and 5 star accommodations to continue using and selling dope while trashing the streets of San Francisco once again all in time for the upcoming holidays.

Its amazing the damage Newsom could do, few forecasted Biden’s trillions in spending, authoritarian rules, two wars, and completely open border and media suppression of the damage. It would take an hour to list it all. What a mess.
Newsom won’t get the Asian vote. His spanking fetish is not an honorable hobby, especially on a school day.
As of this morning Chicago has reached 500 homicides with the killing of three teenagers in one car. How can this slaughter be allowed to go on.

Just think of where the middle east would be now if 56 years ago the muslims would have realized that Israel is not going away and they got on with their lives. They seem to be living in La La Land. Their leaders are like Joe, who calls half the country MAGA racists.
Interesting for me anyway is that the only Palestinian family we know very well fled Jerusalem to go to Honduras, but instead of fleeing Israelis, their family was Christian and fled the Muslims of the Ottoman Empire in the early 1900s. It kind of turns around the story a bit.
Every DEMs would trot out their dead black felon martyr.
This presidential election cycle there’s a big problem, large Jewish campaign contributors may not be contributing to DEMs. obama biden regime allowed in many thousands from mid east without proper vetting.

My first thought is “Political Statement”??????
The Item: Kosher Salt
S – Probably a coincidence, not a political statement.
But it is evident that there are warmongers on both sides and part of their game is turning support of Israel into a R vs D thing.
That way if you’re in you’re an R you’re supposed to support funding for Israel and if you’re a D, your cause is Ukraine. Either way the US loses, paying for foreign wars, that inevitably lead to more turmoil and poverty in years to come.
BTW, how much Kosher salt do you need anyway? Order a case from Walmart and call it a decade.

I suppose it means Democrats aren’t as feverishly beholden to a single candidate? It seems like a point of strength to be able to consider your options. Biden beat Trump in 2020 and incumbents in an improving economy tend to do well in these things.
Whereas con artist and fraudster Trump won’t even engage in the Republican debates because he knows he already has your fanatical devotion and he’s probably worried if he gets onstage he will look as delirious and clueless as he did on the witness stand the other day. He thought he was president in 2021? Not a good look.

Sorry jwb – never was “devoted” to Trump. “Ruffled” my feathers? HA! Individuals didn’t vote for the dementia candidate and the mattress-back. They voted against trump.
But that’s your “ass”umption.
As far as the “ho” and “pedo”… I guess we ought to start dragging out EVERY slur you’ve made towards anyone….especially knowing that you support at least two of the most incompetent individuals to ever walk in the White House.

Yesterday’s election is puppy poop! Not MY subject.
I’m talking about the Dem’s efforts to get Joe to opt out and make room for a candidate who stands a chance….. and that’s all.
No polls needed, Biden is in full tailspin for all the world to see.
JWB, you constantly change the subject
I see you don’t think the devastating night for MAGA was an indicator of where the voters actually stand? Fair enough. Now since you claim there are all these Democrats wanting Biden to drop out of the race you would certainly not mind giving me the exact statements and the names of these Democrats. You know not some unnamed source in a news paper article.
.
I will patiently wait…..
.
In the meantime I do wonder why you responded with “Dem’s efforts to get Joe to opt out” to my original posting which had nothing to do with that subject matter? My post was about the devastating loss of MAGA last night, but it sure looks like you’re trying to change the subject?
.
I guess it is true for MAGA every accusation is a confession.
@ JWB
I wasn’t responding to YOU at all.
My initial post was “What’s all this about Dem’s wanting Biden to drop out from his reelection bid?” was not in response to anything you’ve posted.
You and your enormous ego just “ASSumed” it was about you and your comments.
It was a new & original question posed by me to everyone at large.
Get over yourself!

My comment, the comment I was referring to, was made on November 7, 2023 – 5:59 PM and was not in response to anything anyone posted and had nothing to do with the abortion issues elections. Separate subject.

So it’s your interpretation of what somebody said? But hey check out the Wall Street Journal for Carl Rove’s editorial. What did he say about Trump as the 2024 Republican candidate?
And yet I asked you for: “giving me the exact statements and the names of these Democrats. You know not some unnamed source in a news paper article” And all you can come up with is some bla bla bla article trying to get clicks?
JWB, Cameron’s loss had nothing to do with Trump’s endorsement. I know that, you know that, and Chris Christie knows that. His loss was attributable to KY Repubs’ abortion ban that stupidly does not allow termination even because of rape or incest. Cameron was perceived to support this and the public said no.
Christie is nothing more than the CNN mouthpiece of the never Trumpers. These people are angry and upset that Trump has supplanted their dogma with his own. They are losing influence, power, and money because of this. Nobody listens to Christie and only idiots cite him to make their point. He’s willingly let himself be used by the left in the hopes of big payday somewhere down the road. Final thought: When was the last time that Chris Christie The Election Winning Expert actually won an election?
Now that’s cute, Cameron’s loss had nothing to do with Trump only with the MAGA Republican’s policy which is shaped by none other than Trump.
.
I admire you for sticking with the proven loser for 2018, 20, 21, 22 and 23. I mean what could go wrong?

Also, remind me what Trump actually won, other than the EC vote in 2016?

JWB,

You and Chris Christie should know that “DEEP RED” Kentucky has a long history of NOT voting for Republican candidates for Governor of the Commonwealth. In the 170 years the Republican Party has existed a Republican has only held the governorship of the commonwealth for 32 years. Just as Daniel Cameron was the first Republican elected Attorney General of Kentucky in 2019 since World War II. Kentucky is still in the process of changing from being reliably Democrat to being reliably Republican at the commonwealth/state level, despite having been reliably Republican in federal elections for many years, which is normal. Daniel Cameron was groomed by Senator Mitch McConnell, he is his protégé and hand-picked candidate.
Oh these excuses are simply great:
Let’s see for his AG election in 2019 Daniel Cameron received the following endorsements of Federal officials:
.
Donald Trump, 45th president of the United States
Ben Carson, U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development
Tim Scott, U.S. senator (R-SC)
James Comer, U.S. representative (R-KY)
.
But of course he was groomed by Senator Mitch McConnell and is his protégé and hand-picked candidate.
.
That would be the Senator who easily won re-election in 2020 for his Senate seat in Kentucky.
.
I’m so sure if Cameron would have defeated Beshar, you all would be saying that his victory had nothing to do with Trump’s endorsement and he only won because he was groomed by Senator Mitch McConnell and was his protégé and hand-picked candidate.
JWB,
.
I’m not making excuses for anyone. The fact is that Kentucky has elected two single term Republicans governors in the last fifty years. Kentucky voters have a long history of not electing Republicans for the office of governor, as well as otther executive branch state offices.
.
For the most part, I don’t believe endorsements carry all that much weight, they probably help more in primaries than they do in general elections. I never said any of the endorsements Daniel Cameron received for his 2019 race for Attorney General mattered, it’s you making that argument. Former Governor Matt Bevin probably received those same endorsements in 2019, yet he lost reelection. Again, “DEEP RED” Kentucky is still in the process of changing to a Republican state for executive branch state offices, that’s just a fact. Look at the history of elected executive branch office holders in Kentucky and you’ll see they’ve only recently begun to elect Republican candidates, despite Republican success in Kentucky for federal office for many years.
.
Again, Daniel Cameron was groomed by Senator Mitch McConnell, he is his protégé and was his hand-picked candidate. Cameron worked for McConnell and they have an extremely close personal and professional relationship.
.
Yes, that would be the same Senator Mitch McConnell who easily won reelection in 2020. Despite his electoral success, he’s been deeply unpopular in Kentucky for many years. Again, electoral success at the federal level hasn’t translated to electoral success in statewide executive branch offices in Kentucky. That’s just a fact.
.
Using your words and logic, the loss of the governor-lieutenant governor ticket in Kentucky was a devastating night for former President Donald Trump, so wouldn’t Democrat candidates who lost the other five statewide offices in Kentucky be five times as devastating for President Biden, given the almost two centuries of success Democrats have had winning statewide executive offices.
Sure you’re not making MAGA excuses. Daniel Cameron was groomed by Senator Mitch McConnell, he is his protégé and was his hand-picked candidate. And Senator Mitch McConnell has been so deeply unpopular in Kentucky for many years that his hand-picked candidate would have no chance to make it through a Republican primary……..Ooops!!!!
.
I know it has been a great election night for MAGA, look at Ohio, look at Virginia, look at New Jersey, look at the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, look at Antonin Scalia’s daughter for a Virginia School Board seat, look at Mom’s for Liberty …..
JWB,
.
I never mentioned MAGA once. I mentioned Kentucky, not any other states. You forgot Mississippi, Louisiana, and Idaho from your list of states. If you don’t know by now that unpopular career politicians, Democrats and Republicans, are still able to win a primary and general election because of the money they’ve been able to raise and the campaign infrastructure they have then I can’t help you. We’ve all seen year after year that unpopular career politician are able to win but that doesn’t necessarily mean they have the ability to pull other candidates over the finish line. In Kentucky, only two Republicans have won the governorship of Kentucky since McConnell was first elected, in 2010 his hand-picked US Senate candidate was trounced by Rand Paul, doesn’t that tell you he’s unable to pull other candidates over the finish line?
Oh Black Night, there were elections this week in Idaho and Mississippi? Must had been some super secret MAGA thing.
.
Wow so because Rand Paul won in 2010 it tells you that McConnell is unable to pull other candidates over the finish line? But you seem to forget that Cameron won AG in 2019 and the Republican Governor’s primary in 2023?
.
And please go and celebrate that great MAGA victory in Louisiana. And tell Senate Republicans about that great victory night:

JWB,
.
There you go with your MAGA obsession again when I haven’t said anything about anything MAGA. You really do like to make things up don’t you.
.
No, Rand Paul’s 2010 primary election win over Senator Mitch McConnell’s ability to get his hand-picked candidate over the finish line is only one example. Again, look at the poor success rate Republican candidates for statewide executive office have had in Kentucky over the almost 40 years McConnell has been in office. A McConnell endorsed candidate is going to win the primary sometimes and they’re going to win a general election sometimes. Sometimes candidate quality makes a difference. The fact that Kentucky voters have really only begun to vote for Republicans for statewide executive office over the last decade or so is also a factor, Kentucky isn’t yet a reliably Republican state when it comes to statewide executive office. If you want to ignore the extremely close personal, professional, and political relationship McConnell and Cameron have that’s fine, but it doesn’t change the fact that Cameron has been groomed by McConnell, is his protege and was his hand-picked candidate. Quite a McConnell apologist you are, I never expected or knew that about you.
.
The big race in Idaho was the reelection of the progressive Mayor of Boise who defeated the former Boise Police Chief who spent the entire campaign trying to convince voters he wasn’t a Republican. Several other Boise city council candidates supported by the Mayor also won their races. Something is really wrong with you if you think that is “super secret MAGA thing” as you claim.
.
Again, I haven’t said anything MAGA. I’m not celebrating any “big MAGA victory in Louisiana.” My only reason for mentioning elections in Mississippi, Louisiana, and Idaho was because you had mentioned elections in several states that only supported your chosen point of view and I believe you should’ve been more honest and comprehensive in your comments about states where elections took place and not just elections that supported your point of view.
You should really tell Vivek about that great victory night. For some reason he seems not have gotten your memo.

And of course we all know Daniel Cameron’s loss is just because McConnell is so unpopular. Must have been the same with Kelly Loeffler, David Perdue, Dr. Oz, Madison Cawthorn, JR Majewski, Blake Masters, Herschel Walker, Sarah Palin, Joe Kent, Bo Hines, Lee Zeldin, Doug Mastriano, Tudor Nixon, or Mark Finchem. I couldn’t have been due to the loser Trump
So let me understand your argument. The 2010 Kentucky Senator election shows that McConnell is very unpopular in Kentucky and his hand picked candidates are not electable. The fact that Cameron won the AG race in 2019 and the Governor primary 2023 should just be ignored because it would destroy your argument. Or what did you see sometimes the quality of the candidate may matter as well. Which means in 2019 and during the Governor primary Cameron was such high quality that he could overcome the McConnell stigma, but in the general election he was so low quality that he couldn’t even beat the other party opponent. Because really Republicans are known to make the argument that the chosen candidate of the opposition has better qualities than the one they chose?
.
McConnell is so unpopular in Kentucky that he keeps winning election after election. I understand that you believe that long term politicians get reelected because they are excellent fund raising and they have a great campaign infrastructure. But they cannot raise funds for their handpicked candidate and use their campaign infrastructure for their candidate of choice?
.
That is just some impressive MAGA mental gymnastics all to avoid seeing that Trump and his MAGA pals are starting to become toxic to the electorate..
JWB,
.
So, now you list a bunch of candidates that I never mentioned to try and make your point. It really looks like you’re the one doing “mental gymnastics.”
.
Funny, I made a comment about elections in Idaho, that were actually extremely good for Democrats, and you automatically go to your MAGA obsession and call it a “super secret MAGA thing.”
So, now you think Democrats doing well is also a “super secret MAGA thing,” just as you think Republicans not doing well is also a “super secret MAGA thing.” Which is it? I don’t even use “MAGA” in my posts unless I’m responding to another post, but for some reason you want to label my posts as MAGA because I disagreed with you on the results of 1 race for 2 offices (ticket system) in Kentucky.
.
I don’t like the Democrats and I don’t like the Republicans. I have a rule when voting, I don’t vote for lawyers, with the exceptions of District Attorney, Attorney General, Judges, and Vice President (if I have no other choice).
.
Again, Republicans have traditionally and historically done poorly in statewide executive office elections in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, despite having had success in winning state elections in presidential, congressional, state legislative, county, city, and special district races over the last decade to last several decades, depending on the race.
.
Republicans have held the office of Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky for 15 of the 78 years since World War II ended in 1945, from 1945-1947, 1967-1971, 2003-2007, and 2015-2019.
.
Republicans have held the office of Lieutenant Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky for 15 of the 78 years since World War II ended in 1945, from 1945-1947, 1967-1971, 2003-2007, and 2015-2019.
.
Republicans have held the office of Secretary of State of the Commonwealth of Kentucky for 15 of the 78 years since World War II ended in 1945, from 1968-1972, 2004-2011, and 2020-present.
.
Republicans have held the office of Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Kentucky for 7 of the 78 years since World War II ended in 1945, from 1945-1948 and 2019-present.
.
Republicans have held the office of State Treasurer of the Commonwealth of Kentucky for 11 of the 78 years since World War II ended in 1945, from 1945-1948 and 2016-present.
.
Republicans have held the office of Auditor of Public Accounts of the Commonwealth of Kentucky for 9 of the 78 years since World War II ended in 1945, from 1969-1969 and 2016-present.
.
Republicans have held the office of Agriculture Commissioner of the Commonwealth of Kentucky for 31 of the 78 years since World War II ended in 1945, from 1945-1948, 1960-1964, 1968-1972, 2004-present.
.
So, Mitch McConnell won his first race in 1984 and you can plainly see he’s been horrible at helping to get Republican candidates elected to statewide executive offices. That’s somewhere between 40-50 statewide executive elections that Republican candidates have lost since Mitch McConnell has been on the scene in “DEEP RED” Kentucky. That’s a 40 year track record of losing.
.
This year the Commonwealth of Kentucky had 6 elections for 7 (ticket system) statewide executive offices. Republicans won 5 of 6 of those elections, with an 83.3% rate of success, and Democrats won 1 of 6 elections, with a 16.6% rate of success. How exactly is that bad for Republicans and/or former President Donald Trump?
.
Senator Mitch McConnell has routinely polled as one of the most unpopular Senators, if not the most unpopular,, by voters in Kentucky and voters of the United States, yet he still manages to get overwhelmingly reelected.

Ain’t it grand, make the homeless disappear so meeting participants won’t see them.
Embarrassment is great motivator of politicians, almost as much as fear of reduced tax revenue because
businesses closing. Hope as they move out the homeless they don’t cause a repeat of what happened in San Diego.

2016 All-Star Game, homeless lining streets made city look bad.
‘How San Diego’s Hepatitis A Outbreak May Have Had Its Roots In A Baseball Game”
“when the city cleaned up for the 2016 All-Star Game by pushing its homeless out of the touristy areas downtown and into increasingly congested encampments and narrow freeway onramps just east of downtown. The lines of tents stretched for blocks. At the same time, the city was locking and removing bathrooms to help control the rampant drug and prostitution trade they’d spawned. Hepatitis A is transmitted through contact with feces from an infected person, and in close, unsanitary conditions, the highly contagious virus can spread explosively. So it was only a matter of time, experts say, before cases would surge among the homeless.”

As San Diego became less friendly homeless they moved on and Hepatitis reportedly moved up the state.
