‘Newsom the Arrogant’ is also ‘Newsom the Destructive’

His scandals are a part of a ‘broader trend’ in Sacramento

The California Governor who blew $450 Million on a “Next Generation” 911 system that didn’t work, lost calls, misrouted emergencies, and had a half-day power outage, thinks he can magically produce a laughingstock high speed rail system, build an unnecessary and impossible Delta tunnel water conveyance system, solve elusive climate change, and house California’s drug-addicted homeless population.

Newsom’s Office of Emergency Services scrapped the entire “Next Generation” 911 system design and started over. The newly proposed “Next Next Generation” 911 system will undoubtedly suck up millions more of taxpayer dollars. But what’s another $450 billion?

Newsom is a maroon.

Ben Garrisson, the great cartoonist, says it well:

“Newsom wants to continue the destruction wreaked by Joe Biden by returning to open borders, massive inflation, climate change bunk, men in women’s sports, and the economic destruction of America.

Not to mention a surrender to his best buddies, the communist Chinese. In 2023 Newsom initiated a major, accelerated cleanup of San Francisco ahead of the APEC summit and President Xi Jinping’s visit. He certainly wouldn’t clean up the city for Americans. He thinks average Americans should walk through trash and poop on the sidewalks.

Newsom is a dangerous man and must not come anywhere near the Oval Office. His life of privilege and luxury has convinced him he deserves power by default. We must fix our broken election system and make sure voters have IDs. The Democrats would gladly steal another election—this time for the worst man for the job.”

Ooof. That’s going to leave a mark.

Senate Candidate Mike Netter sums up Newson’s 9-1-1 scandal:

The integrity of California’s emergency response system is under fire as FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr officially called out Governor Gavin Newsom for a massive failure in state leadership. Despite a 2019 promise to modernize the state’s failing 911 infrastructure, years of mismanagement and $450 million in taxpayer funds have resulted in a system that simply does not work. Since 2019, Governor Newsom has spent nearly half a billion dollars on a “Next Generation” (NG911) system that failed its first major tests, leading to lost calls, misrouted emergencies, and a 12-hour outage. After five years of development, the Newsom administration is now reportedly scrapping the entire project. The $450 million is apparently gone, and the state is now looking to spend hundreds of millions more to start over from scratch. While the money vanished, Californians remain stuck on obsolete 1970s-era legacy systems that lack the multimedia and data functionality necessary to support modern emergency communications.

A Pattern of Mismanagement  

Commissioner Carr has formally written to Governor Newsom demanding a detailed accounting of all 911-related funds. He noted that the integrity of these systems cannot be further jeopardized by “misuse and mismanagement.” Carr highlighted that this scandal is part of a “broader trend” in Sacramento, citing the FCC Inspector General’s finding that California allowed millions to go toward phone and internet service for deceased individuals, alongside ongoing high-speed rail delays. The FCC is requesting a concrete timeline and a full accounting of expended funds by March 2, 2026, to ensure that public safety and public trust are no longer undermined.

Ironically, Barack Obama even took a rich jab at Gov. Gavin Newsom over the homeless “atrocity” in Los Angeles.

The irony is that Obama is the architect of the failed “Housing First” policies which did nothing to get homeless off the streets, and wasted hundreds of billions of tax payer dollars.

“During a conversation with YouTuber Brian Tyler Cohen, Obama explained: “We should recognize that the average person doesn’t want to have to navigate around a tent city in the middle of downtown,” the NY Post reported.

Obama called it a “losing political strategy,” and said it is “an atrocity that in a country this wealthy, we have people just on the streets, and we should insist on policies that recognize their full humanity — people who are houseless — and be able to provide them with the help and resources that they need.”

Someone needs to tell the former President to shut his pie hole and go back to Martha’s Vineyard.

Newsom’s real world policy decisions and laws are slowly boiling California frogs to death. Escalating electricity rates alone could bankrupt many in California.

Under California Gavin Newsom and Gov. Jerry Brown before him, California’s electricity prices surged 96% – in just one decade.

Since Newsom was elected in 2019, look at how much electricity for residential customers has increased:

Here is the 10-year chart:

This may shock even the most politically agnostic:

Friday the Globe reported:

“A few million here, a hundred billion there… California is awash in horrific fraud. Thursday, CAL DOGE announced another $370 million in fraud has been uncovered.”

The Small Business Administration upstaged AG Bonta and announced it has uncovered $8.6 billion in suspected fraud tied to COVID-era relief lending in California and has suspended more than 111,000 borrowers in the state.

Dr. Mehmet Oz, Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), said California is one of the epicenters for fraud, waste and abuse in the entire country, and they are probing massive suspected hospice and home‑health fraud in Los Angeles. Oz said $3.5 Billion in fraud just in Los Angeles County.

California’s U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli announced recently the arrest of Alexander Soofer of Los Angeles, for allegedly stealing approximately $23 million in taxpayer funds meant to house and feed the homeless in Los Angeles. Soofer was contracted with the city and county of Los Angeles, to house and feed up to 600 homeless people. But instead, spent millions on a luxurious life, the Globe reported.

That is Gavin Newsom’s real legacy, and it’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Yet he’s gallivanting in Germany, pretending to be a world leader, and trying to erase his record of destruction, deceit, debauchery, and depravity in California.

And the mental midgets in the propagandist media eat it up.

California would not be a crumbling mess today if the media had actually acted as watchdogs instead of lapdogs with Newsom, Jerry Brown and the state’s corrupt Democrats. Now we have a Democrat supermajority and voter base dumber than their idgit kids.

California’s International Man of Mystery Gov. Newsom at the Munich Security Conference can barely conceal his lust for the U.S. Presidency, while playing coy with the press, insisting that his day job is as Governor.

Bless his heart.

Gov. Newsom also raged at the Germany conference that people will “be held to account” for denying climate change, acting like big man on campus: “The biggest problem is the deceit and the denial that’s happening because of special interests.” “We have to call people out. They’ll be held to account. They will be judged.”

Does his tone and arrogance ring any alarm bells?

Newsom also let the world know once again of his man-crush on President Xi Jinping of China, as he praised China’s climate policies. “China gets it, look at their GDP growth last year.”

Right. “China gets it.”

Here’s how “China gets it:

China’s economy on cusp of a deflationary death spiral, The Asia Times reported.

The Wall Street Journal said China’s Economy Is Deteriorating on Several Fronts, and China uses slave labor.

Sure. China gets it.

Gavin Newsom is a one-man tsunami, and someone who has severely failed California, as we now have highest cost of living in the U.S.; worst homeless crisis in the nation; failing public schools once lauded as the best in the nation; a devastating insurance crisis; failed, costly climate change policies; and oil and gas crisis; an agricultural crisis; a water crisis; the most criminal illegal aliens in the nation; the weakest election/voter integrity in the country; California has the most residents fleeing their home state in the country; and California has and had the most tyrannical governor in the nation during the covid flu outbreak – Newsom locked the state down for 3 years, ordered schools, churches, beaches and parks closed and off-limits to residents, forced small businesses to close but allowed six box stores and bath houses to remain open, all while he and the Mrs. traveled within the country, traveled abroad, and famously dined at Napa’s French Laundry restaurant, while his state was locked down and people ordered to mask-up indoors.

There is more – there’s always more with Gavin Newsom because everything he has touched he has destroyed – except his close friends’ and allies’ bank accounts.

Newsom can’t get even affordable housing built, which should be a no-brainer for someone looking to build a record.

It makes you wonder if he really doesn’t care and it’s all one big stepping stone to his next venture when he’s rejected for U.S. President… Chairman of the World Economic Forum, United Nations Secretary General, Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party Chairman…
