Can you believe, do you believe Gavin Newsom is newfound anti-crime stance? He’s the man who told us voters not to vote for proposition 36- which tightened up the ludicrous prop 47, that let criminals go unpunished- and then once the voters passed it he decided he would not fund the implementation of it , that he is now on the side of public safety?
I’m sorry folks but he is a snake! He changes his skin often to blend in with what he thinks makes him popular.
He talks about “crime suppression”.
He says nothing about arresting criminals.
That’s the same as suppressing speeders by closing the roads instead of writing tickets.
Adept at, weather vane pandering . . . . . . .
.
After DC crime drops, suddenly he’s Mr. law-n-order.
If Gavin wants any votes at all he needs to fight Medi Cal changes and HEALTHCARE RISING COSTS.
I have agreed with Trump’s decisions, until this … and also the no more maill in ballots will not work.
Trump needs to think of his own suffering people, not other countries.
Gavin wastes his time on foolish issues and
slicking his wig back 🙁
P.S why is he so hoarse all the time?

Aunt B,
Mail in balleting is not 100% secure and legitimate. If all members of human race were completely law abiding and honest, and if there was no such thing as corrupt government, then it would be a good thing, here on planet earth. Unfortunately, that’s not the situation here.
It’s incredible that there’s actually people who believe the lies that endlessly pour from Greasy Gavins pie hole. The guy explicitly supports and enables criminals, and at the same time endlessly lies that the monstrous crime problem in the state is just an exaggeration manufactured by his political opponents.
Newsom is a worthless piece of $hit. He’s intentionally ruined this once great State. The only thing worse than him are the clueless idiots that continue to believe,support and vote for this a$$.
It’s pretty obvious that he’s “campaigning” for the 2028 Presidential race. Unfortunately, there are enough voters with short memories that he might actually stand a chance. God help us if that happens.
Far worse than James Buchanan.
Looks like the Democrats have received new talking points and buzz words, they are all making comments belittling religious faith & prayer now, it isn’t coincidence.
Between them calling prayer worthless and their defense of criminals being arrested by Fed’s law & order enforcement in big cities I have to wonder what’s coming next “Hail Satan”?

“These children were probably praying when they were shot to death at catholic school,” wrote Rep. Maxwell Frost (D–Fla.) on X. “Don’t give us your f##king thoughts and prayers.”

Wow! such compassion… true colors coming thru.

GODless democrats,

“Minnesota Bishop Robert Barron sharply criticized Minneapolis Mayor
Jacob Frey for dismissing calls for prayer following Wednesday’s deadly
Catholic school shooting, calling the mayor’s remarks “completely asinine.”

“Hail Satan” would be an improvement. At least Satanists believe in god – just the wrong one.
These modern communists cloaked as Democrats believe in nothing except the supremacy of the state.
No one is calling prayer worthless, but we’ve had how many mass shootings in the last 2 years that have all been supported with thoughts and prayers? What has been done to help with mental resources or gun control?
Your side will make an issue out of anything. You hated the guy who was Catholic.
1) Some studies show that prayer is as effective as psychological treatment.
2) If you want to improve mental health outcomes, then transgenderism needs to stop being promoted.
Ah yes, it’s only transgender people who do mass shootings.
@ Concord Resident)
Who said that besides you?
Well…. Don Jr’s list says recent shooters in Denver, Aberdeen, Nashville, Philadelphia, Perry, Uvalde, Colorado Springs, & Minneapolis were all trans except for the Perry, Iowa gender fluid? (Shim)
@ Concord Resident – Who did I hate? What Catholic guy?
*
You claim no one is calling prayer worthless?
Check quotes from Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and former White House press secretary Jen Psaki and Rep. Maxwell Frost (D–Fla.)
As for “what has been done to help” try asking Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who twice denied requests from the Minnesota Catholic Conference for a small security grant to protect against school shootings…. oh, he’s granting it NOW…. just a little too late Tim… people have to get shot & die before Tampon Tim springs into action.
*
“Your side will make an issue out of anything” WTF? Explain that one to me… an example would be helpful, if you have one, or can find one or make one up.
Biden is Catholic
There’s more to stop mass shootings than prayer, unless you know the people who were shot last week weren’t praying at the time.
Again no one meant prayer was worthless but if after every mass shooting the GOP’s response is Thoughts and prayers and not also… let’s devote more money to mental resources and/or gun control … you see the problem there
You lie, Concord Resident!
Democrats meant it when they said prayer is worthless.
But what is really worthless are gun control laws. That’s why the mentally ill trans keep finding gun-free zones for their mass killings. And the trans lobby would rather pander to their delusions than provide needed mental health services.
Concord Resident – Again… as I already pointed out… several comments were made by prominent Democrats which created the issue by blatantly insinuating that praying is worthless and you’ve been backpedaling that by saying “nobody meant it” as if you have the clairvoyance to read their minds and interpret their thoughts to be less inflammatory… save it for your simpleton comrades.
As far as I’m concerned any prominent lefty who wants to insult & alienate as many of of the United States citizens (and non citizens too) who are devoutly religious is free to do so and demonstrate to the world how callous & insensitive your party is towards those who do believe in the power of prayer.
Nobody hated Joe Biden for claiming to be Catholic.
“White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told gathered media on Thursday during a press conference: “I saw the comments of Ms. Psaki and frankly I think they’re incredibly insensitive and disrespectful to the tens of millions of Americans of faith across this country who believe in the power of prayer, who believe that prayer works.”
Karen Hamilton, a nominee for the Virginia House of Delegates, replied to Psaki by calling her a “spiritually blind person.”
“Today I attended the funeral of a baby, and often when parents are in the depths of grief, Jesus is their greatest comforter,” Hamilton said. “You should investigate why that is, rather than belittling it.”
CNN conservative commentator Scott Jennings called Democrats’ remarks “cruel.”
“I had a negative reaction to [Frey’s] statements today,” Jennings said Wednesday night on CNN. “I think it’s wrong, frankly, to vilify or attack people of faith. You said ‘thoughts and prayers ring hollow.’ I say thoughts and prayers are the most solid on days of tragedy for people who live their faith every day….There are probably people praying harder for comfort today than they have ever prayed in their life.”
Another conservative commentator, Megan Basham, criticized Psaki in a post and reverted the conversation from praying to transgenderism.
“Your party encourages mental illness in telling men they can be women, then encourages them identify as victims when the world does not indulge their perverse fantasies, and then screams ‘prayers are not enough’ when insane transgenders shoot up schools,” Basham said”.

And Hillary never called us “deplorables” either.
It was all a big misunderstanding….

Holy catfish, Captain: What a great summary of Liberal scumbags. Thanks for sharing!
On my walk this morning I see the tic-tac-toe planes are at it again lacing the Bay Area skies with their toxic spray. Supposedly the spraying is to reduce UV (that’s their excuse). But as you know on a hot day if clouds roll in by evening you will have a hard night’s sleep with 90 degrees outside. These fake clouds they are spraying will have the same effect by creating a heat dome. We’ll see.
And looking over at the left column I see it is 100 degrees in Claycord. Told ya those planes would cause a heat dome. Children playing with matches.

This week’s Global Alert News at Geoengineering Watch
Rep Ihan Omar (The one who married her brother to get him in the country, and now has a net worth of $18M even though she hates capitalism) says we must get rid of all assault weapons.
How about we get rid of all assault humans instead.
How revealing it is how the democrats are so totally against voter ID. Anybody with an iota of brain cells can clearly see that they are against it and threatened by it because it would cost them votes(which they would sell their own mothers for).
p.s. Term limits for corrupt career self serving soulless politicians!!!
Shout out to the National Guard for their work in assisting law-enforcement in Washington D.C. You will NOT hear this on most media outlets, but according to CBS ( certainly no conservative outlet ), from August 7-25 combined Violent crime is down 49%, Assault down 41%, Robbery down 63%, Homicide down 69% and Carjacking down 83%. Ask yourselves why any mayor would oppose sending in the National Guard to any city Red or Blue that has high crime rates.
Violent crime was down in DC before Trump sent in the guard, but when this was pointed out to him and other members of the party they said the numbers were fake
Violent crime was up in DC before the President sent in the National Guard, but the numbers were faked in DC as well as other violent blue cities. Police don’t bother reporting violent crime, corrupt DA’s don’t bother charging violent criminals, and departments routinely cook the books regarding crime.
They said the numbers are fake because they are.
DC Police have been sued for doing this, it’s been going on for years.

Thanks for constantly reminding us why we voted for Trump instead of you.
Violent crime is down now, because of Trump. He is also complementing Muriel Bowser for her participation, and using her increased approval ratings as an example that perhaps other officials in crime ridden cities should pay attention to.
It’s so simple, and one of the oldest behavior modification concepts: Draw a circle, and invite others to join.
Those on the outside can see their circumstances would improve, and their careers become sustainable. Those that don’t join will send a strong message to their constituents that they’d prefer to let them suffer rather than join Trump. Not a very good message to the people that voted for them.
He’s used the high crime to back them into a corner, and is now offering them a way out.
Checkmate.
Let’s just go with your belief that crime is down, but not ZERO. Why not push to make it even less?
What you and your party is saying is, “We are comfortable with the level of crime that we currently have. We are comfortable with the number of victims that we have”. Why are you ok with crimes like murder, rape, assault, robbery, etc? If Trump offers you the National Guard and you can see the results in DC, why not take him up on it? The Feds are paying, so it’s not the cost to the city’s budget. The Feds are supplying the manpower, so it’s not a worker shortage. So why not do it?
Trump’s actions in DC have shown that all it takes to reduce violent crime is the POLITICAL WILL to actually take action. All we ever hear from lefty politicians is that there are not enough resources to fight crime, that it is racist, that it is fascist. All excuses. Trump is again showing the thinking and seeing public that crime against them is allowed and encouraged under Dem policies and leadership.
Minorities started to wake up to the lib lie during the last election. Men started to wake up. Pretty soon, the inner city voters will wake up to the fact that crime is a useful tool for the Dems to keep their subjects needy and impoverished. The last thing the Libs want is for their base to realize that their misery is a direct result of the lax policies dumped on them by those who they vote for.
TDS on display in it’s full glory.
Violet crime was down prior Trumps action?
According to who? Whoopey Goldberg?
Is there really anyone who resides in a state outside of California who thinks that the actor Greasy Garvin Newscum would be a good president???
Is there really anyone who wants the entire nation to be just like how California is now – the way it’s been run by the feckless do nothing windbag democrats whose actions continually destroy the honest law abiding working middle class???
Where would the huge corporations run off to if self serving Greasy Garvin were president? Mexico? China? India???
Yes – idiot democrat in other states would support Newscum – in addition to the idiot dens in CA.
They’re genetically incapable of reciting the alphabet – they stop at “D.” It’s the party line – period.
For shallow thinking liberals and believers of whatever propaganda wing of
democrat party spews about ICE agents wearing masks.

Tim Walz continues to be in the news for all the wrong reasons. That said, he bears a striking resemblance to actor Tor Johnson in the movie Plan 9 From Outer Space.

Once again, Gavin Newsom follows the political science.
He’s launching a “health alliance” with Oregon and Washington. Yes, they have circled their three wagons and are actively running in a circle.
