America Should Fear California’s Agenda Now More Than Ever
Governor Newsom and Progressives Plan for the Nation
By Richie Greenberg, September 4, 2024 2:55 am
As Gavin Newsom bows out from the limelight, not on the Democratic party’s presidential ticket, we can refocus attention on the policies under consideration in Sacramento. It’s no secret the supermajority of Democrats in the state legislature, together with Newsom, have no interest in reigning in serious crime, in protecting our children (trafficking nor quality of education), and the radical policy wonk from San Francisco, Scott Wiener, is working overtime.
Even with periodic vetoes by Newsom, the majority of bills passed and sent to him by the State Senate and Assembly are what reflect and impose an increasingly alarming agenda. As many have said over the years, as goes California, so goes the nation. Newsom has curiously referred to California as a “nation-state” not so long ago. Moreover, he and legislators actively assert the way for America is as California does it… to be a beacon for the nation.
When they tell you what they will do, listen to them.
Such anti-prosecution lawmakers like Senators Weiner-Skinner-Wahab, champions of keeping fentanyl dealers our of jail, stopping chases, defunding police, open borders, leading to our streets, our businesses, our homes, our property and our tourists to be targets, with continued reason to pack it up and leave California. Again, its no secret perpetrators of crime come to prey on our state with diminishing response from law enforcement. Exporting this reckless attitude leading to laws is insane and dangerous. The nation does not need the lawlessness any further.
The fetishization of our kids, school curriculum and the codified protection of sex between participants of a certain age gap, is not only harmful to children, all of it is an additional waste of taxpayers money via time spent on legislation by representatives in Sacramento. Again, our nation does not need these laws exported from California’s radical lawmakers, and legislative time wasters.
Governor Newsom beams with pride, as his stature on the national stage grew. Yet under his administration, the state now has the highest numbers of homeless, unemployed, highest gas prices, highest income tax, among the highest if not the highest, of residents and businesses fleeing. Many high-profile tech companies, banks, and manufacturers have left.
Newsom took the state’s $100 Billion budget surplus to a $73 billion deficit. $24 mil in homelessness (or was it $100 mil in covid) funding went missing. Offering illegal immigrants free healthcare, and now a proposal to offer up to $150k of down payment assistance to illegal immigrants.
A sanctuary state for transgender, for criminals, and even reparations (from a non-slave state) are under consideration. High home energy costs, and State proposed takeover of oil and gas industry, is on the table. Just this past weekend, former speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi stated she supports such a $150k offer to illegal immigrants, further stating “what I would like to do is move them to documented.” Pelosi also endorsed several of San Francisco’s most radical, Leftist and self-identified socialist candidates for this November’s elections.
Hard-working taxpayers, law-abiding citizens, and those who simply wanted to live a quiet, safe life, have had their California dream dashed.
A very-difficult-to-impossible small business atmosphere is not only preventing entrepreneurs from coming to the state, but recent college grads opt to leave California to start their careers elsewhere… and because they can’t afford to rent or buy a home anywhere near their work.
Bluest of blue cities and states across the nation face a mini-California debacle – New York City, Chicago, Boston, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland, St. Louis all align with California. And those cities are also dangerous and disasters, where the quality of life has degraded to California levels.
And as the Globe reported, “With 62 Democrats and 17 Republicans in the Assembly (one vacant seat), the dangerous imbalance of one-party rule has led to Democrats making up the rules as they go, while kicking voters to the curb.”
This is no laughing matter. This is not representation.”
What is happening in California is horrific. And it is deliberate. Just think about what could happen to the rest of the country if California collapses.

I remind all the Republicans rallied behind the school bond proposal thus it appears there is little difference between the resigning parties.
It’s not California’s agenda, it’s the criminal Democrat mafia’s agenda that has a stranglehold on power in this state through voter fraud and rigged voting machines.
I agree with TJ.
