Most Corrupt Series: Gavin Newsom | California's Price of Ambition

FORGOTTEN HISTORY

"California Governor Gavin Newsom has built a political career that has taken him from San Francisco City Hall to the highest office in the nation’s largest state. But behind the carefully polished image of a reformer lies a trail of political deals, lucrative connections, and decisions that critics say reveal a pattern of deep corruption. From lavish campaign donations and insider relationships with billionaires to controversial policies that have enriched allies while the state faces homelessness, crime, and a staggering cost of living, Newsom’s record raises serious questions about who truly benefits from his leadership. His ties to the Getty family and powerful tech donors have fueled his rise, but they also fuel suspicions of pay-to-play politics and backroom deals. This episode of the Most Corrupt series investigates the money, influence, and hidden power structures surrounding Gavin Newsom. We lay out the documented facts, the political maneuvering, and the unresolved questions that could define his ambitions for higher office—and the potential cost to the people of California. Written and hosted by Colin D. Heaton. Forgotten History is a 10th Legion Pictures Production."

"I am a third generation California. What most people don’t realize about our dictatorial governor is he has always been this way, and we have tried twice to recalling him. But some how magic votes in the 11th hour have saved him. In the last election, the people had put forth a bill that required all bills to be a single subject with a clear and accurate title, no riders, no hidden agendas, no double negatives or Confusing titles. Accurate and clear analysis of cost. Even though The bill had more than enough public signatures to be placed on the ballot. Newsom went to the California Supreme Court and had it removed from the ballot so the public never saw it. Newsome also signed into law AB 205. Which has a hidden section section that allows large solar and wind companies, even out of state, to go directly to the California energy commission to obtain permits to build. Bypassing the local county representative, the local city council, and the local population. Basically a dictatorship. If he treats the people of his own state this way imagine how he would treat the country." From the comments to this video.

Governor Of California PANICS After Hundreds Of Gas Stations Are Shutting Down?! Video. "California faces an unprecedented fuel infrastructure challenge as 473 independent gas stations prepare to close on January 1st, 2026.

"In this video, we break down what's actually driving this crisis. A 2014 state law requires all underground storage tanks to be upgraded from single-walled to double-walled systems by the end of 2025. The upgrades cost approximately $2 million per station — a financial barrier many independent operators cannot overcome. "We'll dive into the RUST loan program that was designed to help small stations cover upgrade costs, the multi-year application delays that left owners unable to complete work before the deadline, and the $5,000 per day penalties that force immediate closure for non-compliant stations. "Finally, we look at the human and economic impact — rural communities losing their only fuel source, the gap between electric vehicle adoption rates and gasoline infrastructure decline, and what happens to fuel prices when competition disappears from local markets. "If you want to verify the facts, in this video, here are our sources:"

U.S. Economy Grows 4.3%, Fastest in Two Years, Smashing Expectations

Breitbart Economy 

"Donald Trump’s trade policies appear to have added to growth in the third quarter, as exports rose 8.8 percent while imports fell 4.7 percent."

  "The U.S. economy grew this summer at the fastest pace in two years, far outpacing economists’ forecasts.

"The Commerce Department said U.S. gross domestic product—the government’s official economic scorecard—rose at a seasonally and inflation-adjusted 4.3 percent annual rate in the third quarter. The report on the July through September period was delayed due to the shutdown.

“Today’s blockbuster, expectation-smashing GDP report is the latest proof that President Trump’s America First trade and economic agenda continues to turn the page on the Biden economic disaster: American consumers are spending, and American exports are surging,” White House spokesman Kush Desai said. “President Trump built the greatest economy in the world in his first term, and he’s in the process of doing it all over again. Americans can count on benefitting from a historic economic boom in 2026.”

"Gross domestic product is a broad measure of the goods and services produced across the economy. Economists had expected the economy to grow at a 3.2 percent annual rate after the second quarter’s 3.8 percent growth.

"Prior to the inflation adjustment, the economy grew at an 8.2 percent rate.

"Real final sales to private domestic purchasers, a slice of GDP that some economists view as a clearer measure of the health of the private sector,  grew at a 3.0 percent annual rate, up from three percent in the second quarter. This suggests that demand from consumers and businesses remained strong and gathered a bit of steam over the summer." . . .  More...

Melania Reigns as the Queen of Christmas, Trouncing Jill Biden and Michelle Obama in New Poll

"Results revealed 61% favored Melania's style against Jill Biden's 2024 efforts (39%), while an even stronger 67% chose Melania over Michelle Obama's 2016 decor (33%). Remarkably, the preference crossed party lines, with Democrats selecting Melania's decorations 54% over Jill's and 62% over Michelle's." . . .

RedState    "A new poll has crowned Melania Trump as the undisputed champion of White House Christmas decorations, with Americans overwhelmingly preferring her efforts over those of former First Ladies Jill Biden and Michelle Obama. 

"Glad to see Melania class up the place a little bit once more.

"Her theme this season, "Home Is Where The Heart Is," shows the elegance and character of the White House that has been missing for years.

“This Christmas, let’s celebrate the love we hold within ourselves and share it with the world around us," Mrs. Trump said in a statement. "After all, wherever we are, we can create a home filled with grace, radiance, and endless possibilities.”

"That grace apparently shone brightly, with a vast majority of Americans in a new Daily Mail poll enjoying her decorations over those of her predecessors." . . .More...

A ‘Drag for Palestine’ fundraiser is the perfect microcosm of leftism

 Andrea Widburg  

"Yup: For two solid Days, the most flamboyant members of the LGBTQ+ cohort are going to be shaking their booties and fake boobs, not just to scream in the streets, which is what leftists like to do, but actually to raise money for their killers."

From this...

"Sometimes I see things on the internet that leave me truly stunned. That was the case when I saw the post entitled “Drag for Palestine,” advertising a two-day-long “drag event” in Toronto, with “all proceeds going to UNRWA.” It takes a special fusion of ignorance and ideology for people to come together, not just to protest, which is now a routine leftist pastime, but actually to fund an ideology that routinely executes them.

"Muslim countries are famously intolerant of homosexuality:

"Homosexuality is a codified capital offense in Iran, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Mauritania, and Brunei, although it’s not always enforced in the last two. It’s not on the books but is routinely enforced in Afghanistan, Somalia, and the Islamic parts of Nigeria.

"People in Gaza and the West Bank are completely aligned with these sentiments. Although homosexuality is not technically illegal under state law, it’s an offense under sharia law, so homosexuals, whether real or suspected, are brutally persecuted:

For LGBTQ+ Palestinians in Gaza, life is a constant peril. Human rights organizations have documented numerous cases where Hamas has executed individuals suspected of being gay or lesbian. These executions are often publicized through videos and photos as a method of instilling fear and demonstrating the regime’s strict adherence to its interpretation of Sharia law. The intent is clear: to eliminate any form of dissent and maintain a strict moral code as defined by their interpretation of Islamic law. 

 Hamas’ treatment of LGBTQ+ individuals includes brutal practices such as executions and torture, and the US State Department confirms that both Hamas — and the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank — persecute gay people. Reports of this oppression are distressingly common. Such acts are not only a violation of basic human rights, but also a clear indication of the regime’s intolerance and cruelty towards LGBTQ+ individuals.

"Ironically, the only safe place in the whole region for them is Israel." . . .

"Iran and Egypt argue that the Pride event contradicts their cultural and religious values. Both countries criminalize gay relationships and in Iran it is punishable by the death penalty. In some instances, they throw homosexuals off rooftops."
