Why would any sane person vote for Newsom? Chances are greater than zero that the election cheating system started in California. It's spread throughout the country and facilitated by the newer mail in voting phenomenon. SAVE won't stop the cheating but it'll make it a little harder. It's a start.
All Democrats would vote for him, simply because he's a Democrat, and because I doubt there is a single Democrat voter in America today who minds cheating as long as it benefits Democrats.
Agreed. But too many people that vote have little or no skin in the game. If they can vote themselves perks, why would they not do so? That is the essence of the Democrat model.
the ends justify the means... it you elect a democrat that's about as mean s it gets! Democrats make Machiavelli look like piker!! Because the ends finance the means. Without 'the ends' there is no money for nobody.
I think you are right. The D party seems to have 2 main constituencies: people dependent on government handouts of taxpayer money, and people paid directly (fed employees) or indirectly (NGOs) with taxpayer money.
An interesting analysis would be to somehow look at federal budget outlays that go to individuals--either as transfer payments/benefits or as salaries/wages (incl the NGO fed grant money that pays NGO employees), and see how much goes to people who vote D vs those who vote R.
Looking at recent events, it's Minnesota first, but since they aren't normally in the spotlight, folks don't take note until Mexifornia tries it as well.
It's the same in other blue states - the DIM's outnumber the sane folks who still live there. In NY, we have corrupt Gov. Hochul & 2 imbeciles as US Senators. I sure as hell didn't vote for them, but I'm stuck with them.
One big problem is, far too many GOP voting voters don’t vote. Ask them why and they say “I’m sick of politics” or “all politicians are the same” or ………. You get the idea. Politicians have destroyed too many Americans spirit and they believe the system is corrupt and it no longer works for working folks. Too some extent I sympathize with them. Pick your favorite GOP member and ask yourself what that person has actually accomplished the last year? We have a Congress problem that is killing the country.
I always take the time to vote, but I'm not happy with the choices. My US Rep is a RINO, my state Sen. is a DEM, GOV & 2 US Senators are DEM's. I don't even recall who was running against Chuckie & Gillibrand, but I voted for them even though I knew it was hopeless. The only thing my Rep (Mike Lawler) has done is vote against the conservative agenda whenever he gets a chance.
Dems have done a good job of infiltrating the GOP. And frankly, the GOP has been complicit in many of them. We need a new Conservative Party badly. The GOP has become a “hold your nose and vote for us” party far too long.
You guys don’t understand. After 5 years of Trump and marinating in TDS for that time, the left is galvanized, energized, and “They’d vote for a yellow dog if it had a ‘D’ after its name”. Or AOC. Same difference. This is the challenge /ourside faces…forever, maybe. If we don’t get off our complacent asses, /theirside is gonna hand them to us.
Dems always vote for the guy who appears reasonable and sane. Once elected they reveal their true self. Look at their history for examples. Too many to disregard. Latest is Spanberger in VA. The likely nominee for the Dems in 28 will be Pritzker, not Newsom. And Pritzker is crazier than Newsom is! He just knows how to hide it better. Think Obama here.
If they’re going to operate like a political mafia, they should expect to be treated like one. When billions vanish into boondoggles, contracts land in family circles, and public office becomes a generational asset pipeline, that’s not governance — that’s a racket. The problem isn’t ideology; it’s insulation. One-party dominance breeds impunity. Impunity breeds extraction. If taxpayers are funding endless rail fantasies and insider concessions while fleeing the state in record numbers, accountability isn’t optional — it’s overdue. Prosecutors investigate cartels. Auditors investigate fraud rings. Voters dismantle machines. If it walks like a mafia and governs like a syndicate, sunlight and subpoenas are the cure.
Just for kicks I asked GROK what CA (and btw, the Federal Gov’t as well) invested in Squaw Valley, later gifted to Newsom and Pelosi. a cool $870MM in current $ ($80MM in 1960 $$. That multiple is also worth pondering, btw).
From Grok:
The total cost for hosting the Games and constructing the necessary infrastructure was around $80 million (equivalent to roughly $870 million today), with funding from federal government (about a quarter, including ~$16 million for the Blyth Arena ice complex and other support), private sources, and state contributions.California's state government provided the largest public share for development:It started with an initial $1 million appropriation in 1955 from the State Beach and Park Fund to support the bid and demonstrate commitment.
This was followed by an additional $4 million committed by the legislature in 1956 to meet IOC requirements.
Further appropriations included $3 million in 1957 and $1 million more in a special session just before the Games.
Reliable sources, including contemporary reports and historical accounts, indicate the state ultimately appropriated about $9 million in total for building arenas, ski runs, athlete housing, and related infrastructure.Some post-Games reports and articles cited higher figures for California's involvement (e.g., around $12 million in one 1961 account for Olympic-related costs), but the most consistent and detailed breakdowns from official and legislative sources point to $9 million as the primary state funding for development leading up to and including the Games.This investment helped transform the area into a viable Olympic venue and later a state-operated recreation site (though it faced ongoing operational losses and controversy over public expenditures). Federal support covered other major elements like the ice arena.
Here in the Chicagoland region we understand what the democrats who have controlled the Chicago Mayor’s office since 1935 when the last republican left office mean by: “ We don’t talk to nobody nobody sent.” The proper spelling of democrat is C R I M I N A L.
Exhibit A: Just look at the guy who was involved in the Flint MI water scandal who then goes on to get hired to f-up the DC water system. It’s a club, and we’re not in it.
They all just get shuffled around no matter how grotesque their failures.
This is what manifests in a world without consequences.
MLR, many Chicagoans are pissed at what these politicians have done to a once great city. We finally pulled the pin in spring of 2021 & went to North Carolina. I miss all the places I grew up with & the foods & familiarity that I can pick a place & say “I remember doing this here, or eating here, or taking my wife & daughter here.” Damn them all to hell.
Washington State is next. We have a LGBQ Cabal that is completely in charge. They just stole $2B from the rainy day fund to balance the budget. Never the thought of budget cuts. Wait until the NGO’s in Washington are found out . . .all Democrat controlled.
If you think this will cost Newsome a single black vote, I am sorry to burst your bubble, but it won't. First, it will never be allowed to appear anywhere black people might chance to see it. Second, even if it is seen, the typical black voter will not be offended, but will accept it as they accepted Shrillary's, "Ahmm noways tahrred..." speech. And most important to consider is the simple equation that has been the source of black support for democrats and their policies since Lyndon Johnson famously crowed about passage of his so-called "Civil Rights Act." (Here's a little reminder in case you weren't aware- "I'll have those n-----s voting Democratic for the next 200 years".) Democrats promise free stuff and the demographic in question votes for it in overwhelming numbers. I admire your optimism, but after living in America for seventy-five years, I am unconvinced. Finally, it is not the black vote that will elect anybody except in those jurisdictions where they predominate, like many of our urban areas. It is the lack of white votes that will determine the outcome. Whites have been so long browbeaten into accepting their powerlessness that they too often just fail to participate in the electoral process. It is only when they are galvanized into action by a charismatic personality that they get off their dead rearends and vote. If every white person took the act of voting seriously, we would never have come to the place we currently occupy.
That was true up until 2024 when the largest proportion of black and Hispanic voters ever left the Democrat plantation and voted for Trump. It sent a doomsday alarm into the Democrat camp.
But you’re dead on correct about white apathy in midterm elections. It is has always been the cause of midterm upset for Republicans, and today, the single-most threat to losing control of the Congress. And our feckless representatives therein are sure as heck not helping matters with their obstinate and obstructive behavior. Voting in this upcoming election, no matter how demoralized or frustrated or pissed off one may be at the pace or events for change, is probably one of the most vital things we can do to help keep this project to restore this Republic going. Apathy is a sin.
I love PDJT's idea of holding his own rally for the midterms. Hope he does it.
And yes white turnout is everything this time around. But there is a growing percentage of a sea change in the black vote - I would not count them out yet nationally (though in CA I see your point).
Yes, we could do so much more if the R's were pushing their share of the load. MAGA had given them all the vote support to get into office and they sit on their hands and do nothing it seems.
Here is the real mafia in the USA and it is still there. Newsom is a foot soldier, and the generals are gathering arms. The retribution the Dems criticized from Trump will be pouring like a lava flow in 2027 if we lose the midterms.
They live in a bubble of their own creation; the media are in-the-tank for them so it’s very rare any of them are ever challenged. Remember years ago at a press conference Steve Kroft from “60 Minutes” asked Pelosi about her well-known insider trading & you would have thought he brought in a baby & butchered it right there; she never answered any of his questions only got indignant, glared at him & asked “how dare he ask something like that”. She prattled on & on about it. Newsome came out & did a full on faceplant!
These people are really sick; so in love with the smell of their own farts they can’t see anything in reality. They’re prideful, arrogant, & entitled & the moronic CA populace just keeps sending them back into office.
I remember back in the late sixties all the hippie kids dreaming about moving to California. I thought a state full of weak minded, lazy, drug addled hippies would come to a bad end. Have to admit, they lasted a lot longer than I ever thought they would. Just hope they don't move back here. I got three feet of snow to shovel. No time for leftist crybabies.
I live in the woods in coastal Rhode Island. There's nobody but me to deal with it. Town plows can't move the snow. But I'm in hog heaven. Prepared for anything.
In 1980, California was the world leader in “education”, which sealed their doom. Virtually every self-destructive policy which demolished that state was born in the bad idea factories of Cal and Stanford. The Boomer generation of college professors have wrought more havoc to humanity than any Mongolian horde or bubonic plague.
In Michael Shellenberger's book "Apocalypse Never" (Chapter 10 - All About the Green) he writes about the connection between the Brown family, Getty Oil, Newsom family and Indonesia's state-owned oil company Pertamina. Well worth the read, and it reconfirms George Carlin statement. Squaw (slur??) Valley was but a piece of the puzzle.
*Pat Brown, after leaving the governorship, lobbied for Pertamina, helping its then-president Ibnu Sutowo secure about $13 billion (equivalent to $100 billion today) in loans from U.S. banks to expand operations.
*As governor, Jerry Brown protected the family's Indonesian oil interests by appointing allies who blocked competing projects, such as a Chevron refinery using Alaskan oil.
*In 1976, amid Pertamina's financial crisis (including defaults on loans Pat Brown helped arrange), Jerry and Pat lobbied for a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal on California's coast to import Indonesian gas, which would have boosted Pertamina's revenues but ultimately failed due to environmental and market issues.
Do you remember Jerry Brown's "NO NUKES" (Nuclear Power Plants) campaign? Keep using hydrocarbon-generated electricity. It's safer ... and it lines our pockets.
These people are beyond despicable. Add to that the Epstein revelations (so far in Europe, covered well by Coffee and Covid today); we are finally seeing some transparency re. crimes in high places.
Corrupt Democrat Californians are a disease that has spread to other states since the 1960’s. The cure starts with a RICO injection into the Democrat party bloodstream in Sacramento. The problem is the anti-vaxers at the DOJ.
Apparently the Trump administration has sent a team to CA to investigate the fraud there. Guess we should stay tuned.
And NO WONDER WE HAVE SUCH A LARGE FEDERAL DEBT, WHILE CREEPS LIKE THE PELOSIs and NEWSOMs and GETTYs have outsize wealth. All the Lefties decrying “income inequality” are unaware that in BHO’s famous articulation, “They didn’t build that”. Our tax $$ did.
I’m hoping he’s going to be their candidate.
With the likability of Hilary, the brains of AOC and the morals of Epstein - bring it on.
Why would any sane person vote for Newsom? Chances are greater than zero that the election cheating system started in California. It's spread throughout the country and facilitated by the newer mail in voting phenomenon. SAVE won't stop the cheating but it'll make it a little harder. It's a start.
All Democrats would vote for him, simply because he's a Democrat, and because I doubt there is a single Democrat voter in America today who minds cheating as long as it benefits Democrats.
Surveys have been done on that issue - the majority of DEM voters are OK with cheating if it helps their party win.
Why even ask the question?. We know the dems and libs have no moral compass. Of course they cheat and like it.
Yup, they voted for horizontal Harris.
Well I would say her brilliance at public speaking is what got her a place in at the top.
Maybe not speaking, but certainly oral ability.
lol lol lol lol lol lol lol
Agreed. But too many people that vote have little or no skin in the game. If they can vote themselves perks, why would they not do so? That is the essence of the Democrat model.
Exactly why I feel only property owners should be allowed to vote on taxing issues .
the ends justify the means... it you elect a democrat that's about as mean s it gets! Democrats make Machiavelli look like piker!! Because the ends finance the means. Without 'the ends' there is no money for nobody.

I imagine the difference would be gigantic.
why would any sane person vote for..... Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, Barack Obama....
That's just it. They aren't sane.
A free man's paradox.
Like many DEM's have said, including Newscum, California leads the way for the rest of the USA to follow.
Looking at recent events, it's Minnesota first, but since they aren't normally in the spotlight, folks don't take note until Mexifornia tries it as well.
Kind of like a Judas Goat, eh?
First you have to answer this: why do Californians continue to vote for Him and his party? Answer that and you win a prize.
It's the same in other blue states - the DIM's outnumber the sane folks who still live there. In NY, we have corrupt Gov. Hochul & 2 imbeciles as US Senators. I sure as hell didn't vote for them, but I'm stuck with them.

Name recognition and no other reason.
Jake this get us no where. w know he actually was elected in CA. we know who they are. This not hypothetical.
You guys don’t understand. After 5 years of Trump and marinating in TDS for that time, the left is galvanized, energized, and “They’d vote for a yellow dog if it had a ‘D’ after its name”. Or AOC. Same difference. This is the challenge /ourside faces…forever, maybe. If we don’t get off our complacent asses, /theirside is gonna hand them to us.
Oh it will be forever. They will never give up so we can't either.

after newsom did an aoc in his interview with the black guy, trump made a funny on his truth social...."newscom dropped out of the presidential race".

I'm really surprised that great comment hasn't made it into any Mafia movie I've seen, it's scary-hilarious.
It’s exactly how it worked in Boston. No sponsor, no job. And the sponsors were all democrats.
Exhibit A: Just look at the guy who was involved in the Flint MI water scandal who then goes on to get hired to f-up the DC water system. It’s a club, and we’re not in it.
They all just get shuffled around no matter how grotesque their failures.
This is what manifests in a world without consequences.
Failing upward
I think it may still work that way except that some of the sponsors are Dims masquerading as Repubs to fool the rubes.
Youbetcha!

Newsom: "I'm like you. I'm stupid and I can't read". Quite the campaign slogan.....
He's the gift that keeps on giving.
Yeah, and they all laughed.
Thanks for the Diego Garcia update!
Don Diego!
Smiling big on the Diego Garcia news!
even the little guys see peace thru strength.
It must be heartbreaking to live in California and watch high-level theft of taxpayers’ money stolen by grifter Dems.
It’s happening in every single blue state, but they just don’t garner as much of the attention that CA does.
Minnesota stands as Exhibit A.
Washington State is next. We have a LGBQ Cabal that is completely in charge. They just stole $2B from the rainy day fund to balance the budget. Never the thought of budget cuts. Wait until the NGO’s in Washington are found out . . .all Democrat controlled.
It's happening in every state. Period. Only the extent varies.
If your state is a a sanctuary or has schools teaching foreign language students you have MASSIVE fraud ocurring in plain sight .
Unless you're one of the grifter Dims.
And now , hollywood is dying pretty soon , nothing left of california

Rallies are what put Trump in the WH and rallies are the only thing that may rescue our midterms but we're running out of time.
He has some vote-rescue work to do before November.
And it's ridiculous that Trump has to rescue the mid-terms when the Rs have the House and the Senate.
Yes, we could do so much more if the R's were pushing their share of the load. MAGA had given them all the vote support to get into office and they sit on their hands and do nothing it seems.

I wonder what scam is currently underway in Clownifornia that we haven’t yet heard about yet?
My bet is involves the land where the Palisades fire happened. Nice area, good location for something other than houses.

But he just told a bunch of blacks that he was poor, just like they are.
You don’t really believe a word that comes out of his mouth do you🙀
Nope!! But I do believe that is what he thinks of blacks, though.
No, he said he scored 960 on the SAT, like they did
Yeah, my bad.
