Gavin Newsom’s Wonderland: Hilarious News Fact Check Website
Newsom slaps back at ‘MAGA trolls’ on new ‘disinformation’ website
By Katy Grimes, May 15, 2025 8:24 am
“Imagination is the only weapon in the war with reality,” surely must be the borrowed motto of the Newsom administration in its battle with some California news organizations and X commenters. Alice in Wonderland has nothing on Gavin Newsom’s administration.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom recently launched a new website “fact-checking” X accounts which poke at the sensitive governor, state Republicans, MAGA, and of course, President Donald Trump. It is broken down into “Disinformation by topic:” LA Fires, Economy, Housing, Climate, Crime, Immigration, Homelessness, Water, Random, Energy. It’s “Curiouser and curiouser!” why “random” is ahead of “energy.”
The California Globe has the distinction of landing the first two “FALSE” claims on Newsom’s fake news website.
Politico describes this as Newsom “escalating a campaign to defend his home state and record against false and misleading information online.”
Pulease. Gavin Newsom has never defended “his home state” – he only defends Gavin Newsom. As for “false and misleading information online,” Gavin Newsom just doesn’t like what news organizations like the Globe report. We go out of our way for the truth, laden with details, facts, data and interviews, “without fear or favor.”
In its quest to defend the Governor, Politico claims, “The governor voraciously consumes conservative media and has adopted creative strategies to counter its influence by appearing on Fox News, deploying staff to counter criticism on X and creating another site to fact check claims about this year’s fires in Los Angeles.”
Those “creative strategies” surely must be patterned after Alice in Wonderland:
“I’m not strange, weird, off, nor crazy, my reality is just different from yours.”
The thin-skinned governor deploys his minions to push back against critics, detractors, and quibblers. Brandon Richards (He/Him), Newsom’s “Deputy Director of Rapid Response” and chief defamer, often replies to news articles with deception and fibs, demanding retractions.
“How fine you look when dressed in rage. Your enemies are fortunate your condition is not permanent. You’re lucky, too. Red eyes suit so few.”
Imagine his rage when Gov. Newsom claims, “No, businesses are NOT fleeing California,” and “No, the $20 minimum wage for fast food workers did not damage the industry.”
This is the handiwork of Brandon Richards (He/Him).
“Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise.”
That sounds like a Kamala Harris speech…
Here are a few more of Newsom’s ludicrous fact checks:
“This site is for everyone sick of the BS about California,” Newsom said sounding like the Queen of Hearts in Alice in Wonderland. “We’re done letting the MAGA trolls define the Golden State. We’re going on the offense and fighting back — with facts.”
That should say, We’re fighting back with “our facts.” And isn’t it interesting that Gavin Newsom believes that “MAGA trolls define the Golden State?”
As the Queen of Hearts demands, “Sentence first—verdict afterwards.”

“Wonderland” for sure, with a hint of “Fantasyland” through the eyes of a 3-year old riding the “Dumbo” ride at Disneyland. Meaning it’s fun, fun, fun, definitely hilarious, and you’ll want to experience it more than once.
California Globe gets top honors at the Gov’s disinformation website! Excellent! There is a lot to celebrate here. The Gavin & His Gang’s fear of “MAGA trolls,” for one. Yes, Yes, YES, it definitely IS interesting, very interesting, as Katy Grimes notes, “that Gavin Newsom believes that ‘MAGA trolls define the Golden State.'” (!!)
Looks like the usual Gov and Dem Usual Suspect defenders are retreating and the CA common-sense fact-based truth-tellers are advancing. BIGLY.
Gavin Nazis Newscum has ruined the California forest by the forest management of “Let It Burn!” He has ruined the retail businesses through out the state by letting criminals steal what ever, when ever for whom ever against any retail business. Until the law changed it to a felony with theft over $450, he wouldnt fund it. He ruined the Independent trucking industry by outlawing Independent Semi Truckers and their trucks older than 2011. He ruined the land scaping businesses by outlawing lawnmowers, leaf blowers, and Chain saw run on 25 horse engines. Then he outlawed the mechanics that work on those engines. HE has outlawed cars and trucks run on gasoline and diesel fuel in 2035, and the oil refineries are pulling out. He gut the oil industry by capping their profits. Chevron, Velro and others are leaving or have left. As a consequence of declining in-state oil production, California is highly dependent on oil imports from petrostates such as Iraq (21.26%), as well as South American sources such as Brazil (20.41%), Guyana (15.80%), and Ecuador (13.60%). In 1982, California imported 5.6% its crude oil from foreign sources. In 2024, the Golden State imported 60.7% of its oil from foreign sources. Gavin Nazis Newscum is a Lunatic.
You said it! Exactly right. And your list, as long as rightfully is, probably covers only about 5% (if that) of the ruination of our Once-Golden State, which has terribly injured, impoverished, and sent packing so many, many, MANY of its residents, all courtesy of this Scummy Lunatic of a Worst Governor Ever (Gavin Newsom).
Let me guess. This is state sponsored disinformation paid for with our tax dollars?
I think the main purpose of this is to feed official lies to the lamestream media.
Gaslighting : “Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation where one person causes another to question their own perceptions, memories, or reality, often leading to confusion and a loss of self-esteem. It typically occurs over an extended period and can happen in various types of relationships, including romantic, familial, and professional settings.”
Also, POLITICAL… this guy and his He/Him minion are LIARS of the highest order and ARE INCAPABLE of leading anything, let alone a Nation, as he has COMPLETELY FAILED at managing the State of California….
I for one am glad that I am a troll. The California Globe and the trolls that comment here have got Brandon Richards (He/Him) and his bosses knickers in a knot. While they state that the larger reservoirs in Southern California were not empty during the fire season they blatantly leave out the fact that the water storage pond that feeds water to the fire hydrant system was totally out of water. Nobody was questioning the status of the larger reservoirs. Secondly, I am curious to know what our illustrious governor knew about Biden’s mental capacities since he was at the Whitehouse several times and Biden was in California quite a few times. Newsom publicly was a staunch defender of Biden. Surely, he saw the feebleness in Biden?
All one who lives in this once great state has to do is step out their door, watch the depressing local news or take a drive to a major city center. Gavin lies, our eyes do not!
Keep spreading the news California Globe and readers, Gov Gav is what is wrong with this state, THE END, FULL STOP!
Congratulations to Katy Grimes and California Globe for having the distinction of landing the first two “FALSE” claims on “Hair-gel Hitler” Newsom’s fake news website! It’s a badge of honor to be proud of! While California Globe shines a spotlight on the failed woke globalist policies of Newsom and the criminal Democrat mafia in the legislature, the useless mainstream mockingbird media just parrots whatever propaganda they spew.
Newsom must be feeling the heat from Steve Hilton’s campaign.
Steve has a new damning video out and Gloria Romero speaks. They filmed it in front of the French Laundry😂

One can only imagine Brandon Richards (he/him | 🏳️🌈 bi+), Newsom’s Deputy Director for Rapid Response, as a frantic and nonsensical Alice in Wonderland character? What does the 🏳️🌈 bi+ mean that he included with his X profile? Who can keep up with the Democrat left’s pronouns and sexual proclivities? Hopefully it doesn’t mean the sexual exploitation of little people?

Well Tj, you hit the nail on the head with your last question….
Probably another NAMBLA member, like Scott Weiner….

Newsom’s website is the very “definition” of FAKE NEWS, and appears to be taking the place of NPR.
Newsom is a lying, slick talking, greasy snake-oil salesman. Never believe a word that comes out his mouth. He is as fake as they come. He would have been right a home in the 1800’s with a horse drawn wagon full of “Dr. Fauci’s Magic Elixer” that cures everything from dandruff, to cancer to toe nail fungus for only a dollar a bottle. Guaranteed to work as advertised or your money back (if you can find me)”.
Nice one! I have the visual and it just will not leave my mind!
“Dr. Fauci’s Magic Elixir”😂
Yup, Gov Gav would and has sold that poison!

Within 72 hours of passing ABX-1-2, which required California refiners to hold additional
inventories of finished gasoline stock, Phillips 66 announced the closing of its Los Angeles refinery
by the end of 2025.
9 10 The Phillips 66 refinery that is slated to close represents 8.13% of California’s
refining capacity. It’s doubtful that demand will drop commensurate with the closing of the refinery,
and simple economics states that when supply drops more than demand, prices will rise. To
compensate for the closure of the Phillips 66 refinery, California will most likely have to increase its
imports of California-compliant gasoline, which is costly, and surviving refineries may have to increase
capacity utilization.

Again, proof positive that Grimes et al are flying right over and raining honesty into the Guber’s hair.
