May 9, 2025 James Li
California spent $24 billion to tackle homelessness over a 5-year period but did not consistently track the outcomes or the effectiveness of its programs and cannot account for $24 billion! At the same time homelessness in the Golden State increased by 16% from 151,000 in 2019 to 181,000 in 2024.

California: Newsom’s Law Allowed a Non-Citizen on Police Force. He Is Charged with Raping Woman with Mental Disorder
May 1, 2025 ABC 7 Local News
California Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom signed a bill in 2022 that allowed non-citizens to become police officers if they have a green card, visa or permanent residency. Officer Felipe Gomes, a 35-year old Brazilian national, was hired by the Belmont Police Department in the Bay area. Gomes is in the US on a work permit that allows him, as a non-citizen, to work in the United States during the period listed on the card, but it does not allow the person to travel or live permanently in the United States.

Gavin Newsom Should Resign
Jan 16 2025
In a state like California and a city like Los Angeles, this basic principle of organizational competence is turned on its head. The state and city’s fractal forms of mismanagement ensure that everyone shares a piece of the blame for these devastating fires, which is to say that no one does. It is the same effective strategy employed by looters in evacuation zones: strength in numbers. Indeed, as with firing squads and mob rule, one job that California’s dysfunctional bureaucracies seem to do well is obscure moral responsibility.

Oversight Hearing on California Fires
Feb 04, 2025
WASHINGTON – On Thursday, February 6, 2025, Representative Kevin Kiley (R-CA) will take part in a major House Judiciary Committee hearing on “California Fires and the Consequences of Overregulation.” Rep. Kiley, who helped organize the hearing, will help lead it off by introducing the three witnesses and directly addressing the egregious failures of policy and governance in California. He will later question the witnesses about changes for bringing common sense to California’s water and forest management policies.

California’s fires are a scorching indictment of misguided governance
by Rev. Samuel Rodriguez , opinion contributor - 01/13/25
As Southern California burns yet again, the state’s leadership continues to offer little more than hollow platitudes and deflection. Californians are left to grapple with devastating wildfires that destroy homes, disrupt lives and pollute the air with suffocating smoke. It’s easy for state officials to blame climate change, but that narrative conveniently ignores the state’s own role in enabling these disasters.
The reality is that California’s government, blinded by ideological priorities and hampered by mismanagement, has failed to fireproof the state, while focusing instead on “Trump-proofing” it. The tragic consequences are now inescapable.

Santa Ynez Reservoir was built to save Pacific Palisades. It was empty when the flames came
Published Jan. 22, 2025 Updated Jan. 23, 2025
Interesting, a 'Time Magazine' article about this same subject talks about all the 'disinformation' going on and the interview with Newsom focuses exclusively on why the water was unavailable at the fire hydrants. "HELLO'?? The reservoir of fire fighting water was empty. Details, huh? But on Jan. 7, the reservoir that had long been a lifeline was empty when Palisades residents needed it most, as a wildfire spread rapidly amid dangerously high winds.

Newsom Trashed for Admitting San Francisco Was Cleaned Up for China Summit: ‘Slap in the Face’
November 15, 2023 Fox News, Laura Ingraham and Daily Caller
San Francisco was cleaned up virtually overnight for a major summit that welcomed Communist Chinese President Xi Jinping. Governor Gavin Newsom admitted that the city was cleaned because “fancy leaders are coming to town.” Newsom, who was Mayor of San Francisco before he became the Governor, was roasted across the internet for working with extreme Democrats to infest California with crime and homelessness.

Gavin Newsom Flees To Mexico After Extending California’s “State Of Emergency”
During the past few 18 months of COVID-19 lockdowns, progressive politicians have abused the emergency powers designed to protect their citizenry.
Instead of looking out for the welfare of their citizens, they have used their extra authority to control the population, and at times arrogantly lived in violation of their own edicts.
Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed an executive order on Nov. 15 extending the COVID-19 emergency rules he initially put into place in March of 2020. The rules are now scheduled to expire in March of 2022.
Just a week after extending California’s COVID-19 state of emergency, Newsom left for a Mexico vacation with his family. Gavin, his wife, and their children have escaped the unnecessary regulations and will not return to California until Nov. 28.

Newsome received a highly publicized COVID-19 vaccination booster shot on Oct. 22, and then, on Oct. 27, dropped out of the public eye for 12 days.
He canceled plans to go to the Climate Conference in Glasgow, Scotland, so it had to be serious for him to miss such a liberal event.

Lawmakers want answers on Newsom’s mask deals!!
Who could have predicted face masks would become such a hot topic in CALIFORNIA?
They’re the subject of a state Assembly hearing this afternoon, as lawmakers investigate why California on March 26 sent $456.9 million to a 3-day-old company, Blue Flame Medical, before clawing the money back hours later, as CalMatters’ Laurel Rosenhall first reported.
Lawmakers will probe Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration about its pandemic vetting process, as other failed or incomplete deals for personal protective equipment emerge:
• The $1 billion deal with Chinese company BYD for 200 million N95 respirators per month. So far, BYD hasn’t sent any N95 respirators, because they’re still awaiting federal certification. It will reimburse the state $247.5 million, the Los Angeles Times reported.
• A failed $800 million mask deal with Bear Mountain Development Co. LLC, run by former Alabama Attorney General Troy King. The deal disintegrated after the company failed to deliver most of the state’s order for 400 million surgical masks and 200 million face shields. A state spokesman told the Los Angeles Times California paid no upfront money.
• A failed $8.75 million deal with Brazilian company Hichens, Harrison and Co. It’s unclear why this one collapsed. But the state got its money back within a week, company president Peter Leite told the Sacramento Bee.
Newsom said Thursday the state improved vendor vetting after the Blue Flame Fiasco.

So, they said they got the money back... Do you know that? Seems like with all that money switching around there is a good chance a lot of up ended in someones Swiss bank account.
Newsom: “We were in the Wild, Wild West period in the early part of this pandemic. Those dollars were protected and protocols were put into place that are much strengthened after that specific incident.”
Still, lawmakers want specifics.
Assemblywoman Cottie Petrie-Norris, a Laguna Beach Democrat who will chair today’s hearing: “I think it would be very productive for both the Legislature and also for the public at large to understand what happened.”
So, your Governor can arbitrarily spend 1 B $ and nobody has to OK it?? Doesn't this reek with opportunity for corruption?
How much was that the last governor WASTED on that bullet train that never went anywhere? Do you really think that was the intent? Didn't he (Brown) end up with a lot of money out of that deal too?

Gavin Newsom’s keeping it all in the family
Gavin Newsom will be the first Democrat in more than a century to succeed another Democrat as governor and the succession also marks a big generational transition in California politics.
A long-dominant geriatric quartet from the San Francisco Bay Area – Gov. Jerry Brown, Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi – has been slowly ceding power to younger political strivers.
Moreover, Newsom is succeeding someone who could be considered his quasi-uncle, since his inauguration continues the decades-long saga of four San Francisco families intertwined by blood, by marriage, by money, by culture and, of course, by politics – the Browns, the Newsoms, the Pelosis and the Gettys.
The connections date back at least 80 years, to when Jerry Brown’s father, Pat Brown, ran for San Francisco district attorney, losing in 1939 but winning in 1943, with the help of his close friend and Gavin Newsom’s grandfather, businessman William Newsom.
