Gavin Newsom's Claim About CA Being a Free State Blows Up in His Face

 Gavin Newsom's Claim About CA Being a Free State Blows Up in His Face (townhall.com)   "Gov. Gavin Newsom doesn’t like it when you trash his state. The blue bastion has become one of the states whose residents are most likely to flee due to the state's burdensome taxes and hyper-regulatory nature. Comedian Bill Maher remarked about the red tape on his show, mentioning the painfully slow process it took to get a permit to build his solar shed, which looked no bigger than an ordinary Porta Potty. Newsom either doesn’t know this or doesn’t care because he embarrassed himself at the California Democratic Party’s Re-Organizing State Convention, where he was joined by Nancy Pelosi, Ted Lieu, and other communists.

"Newsom had the stones to say, “This is the free state of California!…Eat your heart out Florida and Texas!”

"He was promptly roasted for this patently false remark. Also, has he forgotten that his state banned books?". . .

Yes, Democrats Are Coming For Your Favorite Appliances

  Issues & Insights

"Back in January, an official in the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission let slip that the Biden administration was coming after Americans’ gas stoves.

" 'There was an immediate, huge public backlash. In response, Joe Biden and his lackeys took to the media circuit saying the claim was a lie, MAGA-created fake news – the administration had no intention to ban gas stoves. The media fawningly parroted Biden, et al.’s claims that Republicans were lying about gas stoves – take a chill pill, your gas stoves are safe, said the media.

"Weeks later, events proved that it was Biden and the Democrats who were lying when, with little attention paid to it by the media, the administration published energy efficiency and emission rules that banned the sale of all but the most expensive gas stoves. And, going further, the Biden administration has allowed cities and states to impose their own bans on gas hook ups and appliances.
"If only the White House had stopped there it would have been bad enough, but it didn’t!

"In the run up to the gas stove ban, and subsequent to it, the Biden administration has unleased the biggest, most comprehensive, strictest regulatory onslaught ever on home appliances. As the Washington Times documents, “President Biden’s green energy goals have resulted in an array of new efficiency rules for a slew of household appliances,” including microwaves, air purifiers, and even toothbrush chargers. Also among the appliances soon to be regulated out of existence or fundamentally altered are, gas furnaces, air conditioners, lightbulbs, refrigerators, clothes washers, and gasoline- and diesel-powered cars.". . .

Liz Cheney booed by grads who turned their chairs backwards at Colorado college commencement

 Liz Cheney booed by grads who turned their chairs backwards at Colorado college commencement - American Thinker  

 "Once again, Liz Cheney is finding herself unpopular.

"This time, the Bronx-style cheer happened in Colorado, at a college commencement, once again, among the wokesters of the left.

"According to the Daily Mail:

Graduates booed and turned their chairs away from former U.S Rep. Liz Cheney as she delivered the commencement address at Colorado College on Sunday. 

Cheney repeated her fierce criticisms of former President Trump but steered clear of talking about his 2024 reelection campaign or her own political future.

The Wyoming Republican blasted her House Republican colleagues for not doing enough to combat Trump's lies that the 2020 election was stolen.

Cheney implored the new college graduates to not compromise when it comes to the truth and blasted one of the election-denying attorneys who worked for Trump after the election for allegedly telling a gathering of Republicans that 'it is crucially important to make sure that college students don't vote.'

While many students and parents in the audience applauded throughout Cheney's remarks, some opposing the choice of Cheney as speaker booed and turned their chairs away from the stage when she spoke. 

"Wow. This isn't the first time the left has let her have it. I wrote about a scoring from the left that she got on Twitter regarding her remarks claiming that any presidential candidate who would consider pardoning any January 6 protestors was unfit to be president, in this piece here.". . .

Just in time for Memorial Day, Hanoi Jane is back from the dead -

 American history is arguably the richest in the world, for many reasons, one of which includes the uniquely self-sacrificing character of the men who have fought and died for causes bigger than themselves. Fonda hated these men in the height of her Hanoi Jane era, and she hates them still now. 

The Soul Doctor: Was Jane Fonda a Traitor?

American Thinker  "Turns out all that whimpering regret about her Hanoi Jane days was…just acting.

"While at the Cannes film festival last week, Jane Fonda took the opportunity to wield her pseudo-morality like a billy club, and launched a campaign against “white men” because in her estimation, like every other useful idiot, “white men” are to blame for all of society’s woes — whether they’re even real or simply perceived, it doesn’t matter to Fonda.

"With a puffed up ego, Fonda said:

We have to arrest and jail those men — they’re all men.

It’s good for us all to realize, there would be no climate crisis if there was no racism.

There would be no climate crisis if there was no patriarchy.

…

White men are the things that matter and then everything else is at the bottom.

So when I say that I’m fighting the climate crisis, I also feel that I’m fighting patriarchy and racism.

"What a sense of justice, mulling arrests and imprisonments for those who have committed no crime except being “white” and male.

"Sporting a new look (Fonda now has purple hair, yes really), she reiterated her commitment to the “climate crisis” and her role in the war against the evil “white men” persecuting those “poor people of color” — didn’t anyone tell her that using the term “people of color” is akin to erasing Black people? Uh oh, who’s the racist victimizer now?

"Also, isn’t Jane Fonda like three husbands and countless flings deep in “White men”? Her outrage seems a little disingenuous, wouldn’t you say?" . . .

Biden and his watchdog press

 As communications director for the Trump 2020 campaign for two years, I saw the media’s bias in action daily. Perhaps there was no better example than our elongated struggle to get Beltway reporters to cover the story surrounding Hunter Biden’s business dealings, which we viewed as a scandal that involved Joe Biden every bit as much as his son.

More Evidence Emerges That the Media Is on Team Biden | The Heritage Foundation   "Just over three weeks before Election Day 2016, Chris Cillizza, now with CNN, infamously tweeted, “Let me say for the billionth time: Reporters don’t root for a side. Period.”

"No doubt he really believed it, as do many journalists who truly feel they are treating their stories’ subjects fairly. But as a group, their overall body of work shows quite clearly that they have “put on the jersey,” meaning that members of mainstream media are squarely on President Joe Biden’s team and have been since before Election Day 2020.

"In the latest iteration of the media’s anti-Trump bias, The Washington Post was forced to issue a massive and embarrassing correction on its reporting of a phone call between former President Donald Trump and a Georgia official regarding disputed election results.

"The quotes attributed to Trump by a single, anonymous source were things he actually did not say, as proven by a recording of the call released two months after the original, erroneous reporting.

"Unexplained in this fiasco is how multiple news outlets were able to independently and wrongly confirm the initial, factually inaccurate story in the first place.

"Worse, the fake quotes included in the first version of the Georgia phone call story were seized upon by Democrats and deployed during Trump’s second impeachment trial. Here was bad reporting being weaponized for political purposes.

"This should be a jarring wake-up call for journalists. In all likelihood, it probably will not be." . . .

In March 2020, The Washington Post gloomily reported on Trump’s approval of a coronavirus relief package under the headline, “Trump signs $2 trillion coronavirus bill into law as companies and households brace for more economic pain.”

Nearly a year later, the Post openly celebrated Biden’s approval of a $1.9 trillion package by tweeting the headline, “Biden stimulus showers money on Americans, sharply cutting poverty in defining move of [Biden's] presidency.”

‘People With Female Sex Organs’: Major Feminine Product Maker’s Latest Attack On Girls And Women | UPDATED

 The Daily Wire

In Always’ case, the company quite literally erased the word “woman” from their packaging in 2019.  Perhaps it is time that Always, and its parent company Procter & Gamble, get the Bud Light treatment.

" 'What is a woman? It looks like the feminine hygiene products maker Always doesn’t even want to use that word anymore, let alone answer that question.

"On Friday, the Daily Mail reported that one of the world’s top suppliers of menstrual and other sanitary products released its annual pamphlet used to help young girls learn about their changing bodies. Except this year, the pamphlet didn’t mention women or girls even once. Instead, they were labeled “people with female sex organs.”

"Why? Well, under leftist lunacy, women can become men. Which means that teenage girls can become teenage boys. Ergo, using the word “woman” or “girl” is a no-no. What makes this all especially creepy is that this pamphlet, titled, “Puberty and Confidence Guide for Everyone” is meant for middle schoolers and high schoolers. In other words,  Always, which is owned by Procter & Gamble, is endorsing and supporting teenagers undergoing sex rejection and gender-denial procedures and abuse.

"Per the Daily Mail, multiple teachers were mortified when they opened the pamphlets that they were supposed to provide to their pupils.

"One educator said that the literature was obviously confusing.". . .

"A 12-year-old boy who wanted a challenge graduated from a California college last week, where he was presented with a historic five degrees.

"The pre-teen, Clovis Hung, is the youngest person to graduate from Fullerton College, the university said.

"Hung started attending the school in Fall 2020, when he was just 9 years old and his mother had pulled him out of traditional public school claiming her son was highly self-motivated and goal-oriented."

" 'Clovis is super inquisitive, mature, diligent, self-disciplined, and highly motivated,” Hung’s mother, Song Choi, said in a statement released by the school. “He is also very curious and traditional public schools could not satisfy his curiosity, therefore, the best option was college.”. .

No Dodging The Democrats’ Degradation, or, “We’re All San Francisco Democrats Now” |

  Power Line (powerlineblog.com)   "You would think a team named “Dodgers” would know how to dodge a culture war battle they can’t win (see: Target, Bud Light), but no, the Los Angeles Dodgers managed to get picked off in the most embarrassing fashion in a pickle-style rundown entirely of their own ineptitude. Surely the conservative (and Catholic) O’Malley family that used to own the Dodgers—before the onerous estate tax forced the family to sell the team back in the 1990s after Peter Walter O’Malley died—are rolling in their graves.

"But there’s a larger lesson here. Back in 1984 I attended the Democratic National Convention in San Francisco as a credentialed reporter (you can read the long feature Ken Masugi and I filed, “Revenge of the Nerds,” here). The day before the convention opened, there was a large gay pride parade on Market Street, which I watched from the sidewalk for the show. It was what you would have expected—a flamboyant and festive display of gay fetishes and skimpy costumes made mostly of leather, along with lots of banners expressing grievances against the Reagan Administration for not instantly curing AIDS with more money.

"I somehow got to chatting on the sidewalk with a Republican campaign operative who was observing the convention, and he remarked, “In 1972 we paid people to do this to McGovern, and now the Democrats are doing it for us for free.” Sure enough, Democrats running the convention were careful to keep this sideshow out of sight as much as possible. They knew political poison when they saw it, though Jeanne Kirkpatrick nonetheless later stuck them with the label “San Francisco Democrats.” Though she had foreign policy chiefly in mind, there was a distinct undercurrent of their victim mentality that defines the party’s dominant ideology today.". . .

Regarding the media's about-face with the Hunter Biden laptop, Greenwald insisted news organizations are trying to "subtly correct the record" after they committed what he believes was "one of the gravest media frauds in decades" by dismissing the scandal as Russian disinformation. He then knocked outlets like the New York Times and the Washington Post for having "decreed" that the laptop is only now verifiable, implying it wasn't in 2020.

What a Difference a Real DA Makes

 American Greatness (amgreatness.com)

San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins follows the law and the evidence and does not make decisions based on what may be politically expedient.

"Chesa Boudin, named after cop-killer Joanne Chesimard, and son of Weather Underground terrorists Kathy Boudin and David Gilbert, was elected district attorney of San Francisco in November 2020. Criminals were happy with the outcome. 

“ 'Chesa Boudin threw a monkey wrench into the city’s criminal justice system,” recalls Richie Greenberg, San Francisco resident and business consultant. “Amid a series of high-profile cases, his promise to release repeat criminals and to allow quality of life crimes to go unpunished, San Francisco descended into a scofflaw paradise.” 

""Greenberg spearheaded a recall effort and in June 2022 voters booted Boudin by a 60 percent to 40 percent margin. Mayor London Breed then appointed University of Chicago law alum Brooke Jenkins, a prosecutor in the city’s homicide division. 

"Jenkins proceeded to fire 16 Boudin loyalists, part of “important changes to my management team and staff that will help advance my vision to restore a sense of safety in San Francisco by holding serious and repeat offenders accountable and implementing smart criminal justice reforms.” 

" 'In November 2022, Jenkins prevailed over three rivals with approximately 54 percent of the vote. As the victor proclaimed. “I pledge that improving and promoting public safety will be my and our office’s top priority.” 

" The “scofflaw paradise” recently threw up a challenge. 

"On April 27, “black trans man” Banko Brown shoplifted items from a downtown Walgreens store. That drew the attention of security guard Michael Earl-Ray Anthony, who struggled with Brown. Anthony contended that Brown threatened to stab him and shot the shoplifter, who later died from the wound. No weapon was found on the decedent. ". . .

When “White Supremacists” Attack (UHaul Edition)

  Religio-Political Talk (RPT) (religiopoliticaltalk.com)

"All that to say, studying quite a few religiously racist cults years later and racist origins/history…. I have never, ever met a non-white white supremacist."

. . ."This has been bugging me for quite some time, and I wish to opine. Some here may know my biography a bit… but to catch you up a tad: Thirty-plus-years ago I was incarcerated a few times, mainly for 3-felonies. During my two longest stints in various L.A. County jail system (from Biscailuz, to H.O.J.J., to Super Max and Mira Loma – etc.). My first couple weeks in were a steep learning curve, as are most young persons. But in all my time in the system – about a year and a half – I never met a “white supremacist person of color.” Having met many actual Aryan Brotherhood members, Nazi Low Riders, white pride guys, and other white purists (like an Odinite I met), and the like. Not one was Mexican, Black, Indian (from India), yada-yada.

"I also met many racist cult members other than the ones already mentioned who were likewise part of prison gangs, like: Black Guerilla Family (BGF), Barrio Azteca, Mexican Mafia (La Eme), and the like. While there is some cooperation between Whites and Hispanics at times in jail… I slept in what was called the “wood pile.”

"I loved [even then] to talk politics and categorize things. The reason, for instance, I was removed from Biscailuz detention center was in my dorm I was asking all the Hispanic, Blacks, and White’s their set or gang affiliation or one’s they knew of. I had a very long list on two double sided legal paper notepad. Well… One guy said I was doing this because I was an undercover “po-po.” THAT caused a BIG problem, and I was removed before I was beaten to a pulp.

"In my very long list – ironically confiscated by the Sheriff’s removing me – and although I am sure the Sheriff gang unit were/are aware of them all, maybe I got a sub-set they were not. So, the accusation was a self-fulfilling prophecy by the guy who initially accused me. Lol.

"All that to say, studying quite a few religiously racist cults years later and racist origins/history…. I have never, ever met a non-white white supremacist."

“A Woman Needs a Man Like a Fish Needs a Bicycle”

Why Has the Left Chosen Trans Guys Over Real Women? (townhall.com) 

. . ."Now, let’s fast forward to today. The Supreme Court’s newest justice could not define the word “woman” under sworn testimony in front of a Senate committee. In the 1970’s, she would have defined it and defended it with pride; today, her calculation is that she has no political benefit in going head-to-head with the trans movement and its supporters on the Left. So after years of college, law school, and service as a lawyer and judge, she realized that the best play was to say that the subject belongs to biologists and not to offer her own thoughts on such an important question. Every week, we read of another guy claiming to be a woman winning some sporting event. The number and types of such events is growing: poker, cycling, volleyball, running, swimming, weight-lifting. The obvious solution if people don’t have the stomach to tell an XY guy that he is no gal is to set up a separate competitive division for trans and let them fight it out there, but not with the girls or women. But there is little movement in this direction, and girls and women who have dedicated years of hard work are being beaten by guys who are bigger and stronger than they are. 

"In the 1980’s, there was a popular T-shirt that read, “A Woman Needs a Man Like a Fish Needs a Bicycle”. Women of that era would have been infuriated that men could so easily (just need to meet the testosterone requirements) identify as women and take all of their trophies. Yet, Gloria Steinem and other leaders of the feminist movement are still around and we either hear nothing from them or they fully go along with the farce. The question is why? Why are so few women standing up for women, and when they do, they are attacked or threatened with bodily harm? When did the feminist movement give up on defending women and instead cave to the ludicrous idea that a man can be a woman by simply saying that he is". . .
