Only 25 months left of gavvies execrable reign of, well not terror, more like venality. Hopefully, we’ll (s)elect someone a bit more honorable/less loathsome. Some poll said Californians want harris. I assume that was meant as a joke. She may not have the sleaze of nuisance (few do, only schiff-less and pelosi come to mind), but she is a heckuva lot more dim; she demonstrated that the last 4 years.
Some polls said she was leading the Presidential race also.
There probably are some people who would vote for her should she run for Governor. However, fundraising will be much more difficult as she has alienated a large percentage of her prior financial benefactors. Further, her drunken, disheveled post-election message received viral global distribution. Time to be put out to pasture.
Meanwhile they are still counting ballots in California. Unbelievable.
Jeff (the other one) & The Fearless Spectator,

The polling for the 2026 California Governors race and the 2028 U.S. Presidential race showing Vice President Kamala Harris as the leading Democratic Party candidate for both races are likely fairly accurate, as these polling results are based primarily on name recognition, not governing abilities and political talent.
To continue fundraising, positive polls are essential. The better the fundraising, the larger the advertising commissions, a portion of which are kicked back to certain affiliates.
And party pollsters better give them the numbers they want so the donations continue, or they won’t be in the polling business much longer.
It’s called “Money Laundering”, which really upsets the mega-donors on the losing team.
Harris for governor … That is a scary thought. But then again, I could see Californians voting for her, I mean she failed as a VP and as a presidential candidate, so in their eyes she is the perfect candidate. She could follow our current failed Newscum leadership and help to drive California farther into the hole.
the other day we got a letter from the City of Concord requiring us to list our two rentals with the City of Concord and pay a fee for both places amounting to 100.00 We already pay taxes…Edi Birsan created this, glad he got voted out!

Contra Costa County is still in the process of curing and counting the remaining 3,000 ballots thru December 06, 2024. Mayor Edi Birsan could still win reelection, but it’s unlikely that he’ll be able to make up his 109 vote deficit. Pablo Benevente is more pro-rent control and pro-affordable housing than Mayor Edi Birsan is. Myles Burks, the anti-rent control candidate came up just short of 20% of the vote, while Birsan and Benevente, the pro-rent control candidates, had a combined vote share just short of 70%. Given the current Concord City Council District 4 vote totals, it appears that we would’ve had rent control forced on us either way.

“It is well known that California has been among the worst-performing states in the country in terms of job growth. But the latest statistics show that nearly all jobs that are being created in California are government jobs. Between January 2022 and June 2024, total California jobs grew by about 156,000, with government jobs accounting for 96.5 percent of that growth.”

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that Joe
Biden frantically decides to give Hunter the largest pardon in HISTORY to erase ELEVEN YEARS of federal crimes — less than 24 hrs after Kash
Patel is announced as FBI Director
Joe pardoned Hunter………Is anyone actually surprised?
Both Hunter and Joe could yet be convicted of more serious crimes involving influence pedaling and tax evasion.
Joe did not pardon himself and there is a lot of evidence out there to implicate him.
There are probably many dissatisfied “Biden Brand” customers out there willing to rat Joe out too.
Hunter could be convicted of perjury for future false testimony he may give.
It isn’t over until it’s over.
Well, this news cycle has certainly been hijacked by the biden legacy.
Am amazed at amount of coverage devoted to what we all knew was going to happen.
.
Far more important is what happens 20 January when clean up begins from 12 years of concerted effort at redistribution, attacks on core American values, perversion of government agencies for political power and intimidation.

Over $10M spent per day for 107 days. How is that even feasible?
How many Americans could have been helped with that money?
For the communists out there, how many illegals could have been helped with that money?
Time to re-evaluate political expenditures and install enforceable caps.
“I will not pardon him.”
-Joe Biden, June 2024
Another lie by the most corrupt President and presidential administration in history. Probably not the last because President Dipstick still has 7 weeks before riding off into obscurity.
Did anybody really believe that this would not happen? Joe wants to protect his son. Nothing strange with this. But by pardoning his POS offspring, Joe also muddies the waters around his own illegalities and those of his family. Will Joe also offer blanket pardons to himself and/or his scumbag brother Jim? Only time will tell, but who would be surprised at this? Probably the same dupes who believed that Joe would never pardon Hunter. Joe has nothing to lose.
Adios Presidente Jose. Don’t let the door hit you in the fanny on the way out. And be careful of the stairs.
Would expect nothing less from a career SWAMP CREATURE.
