Gov. Gavin Newsom’s Delusion: California’s ‘Golden Economy’
‘There is No More Toxic Politician in America’
By Katy Grimes, September 14, 2024 7:06 am
Gavin Newsom claimed in July that California simply has no peers, across the spectrum. The Globe reported on Newsom’s conceited email in which he listed the Orwellian “Ten Ways California Leads the Nation.”
California may be leading the nation – off the cliff into 3rd world status, we stated, especially as Newsom’s and Democrat’s policies have pushed out some of California’s greatest businesses.
Rep. Kevin Kiley noticed and said Thursday, “Perhaps he took inspiration from David Letterman because the list is, to put it mildly, laughable.” Kiley wrote:
One item is “belonging and unity.” Another, unbelievably, is high-speed rail (we’re investigating that disaster in the Transportation Committee). Conveniently, Newsom fails to mention an area where the Census Bureau just announced California actually leads the nation: poverty.
Kiley notes that Newsom didn’t mention homelessness, crime, taxes, gas prices, housing costs, illegal border crossings, and more:
“Today I gave a speech on the House Floor correcting these omissions: listing all the ways California truly ‘leads’ in Newsom/Kamala’s “model for the nation.”
Perhaps ironically, on his official California Governor’s website, Newsom does list some of these issues, as though he has fought valiantly and slayed the dangerous beasts. He also includes a rather unhealthy dose of narcissism… (have a barf bag handy):
“Newsom is widely recognized for his willingness to lead – repeatedly developing, advocating, and implementing innovative and groundbreaking solutions to some of our most challenging issues.”
“On a wide range of topics including same-sex marriage, gun safety, marijuana, the death penalty, universal health care, access to preschool, technology, criminal justice reform, and the minimum wage, Newsom stuck his neck out and did the right thing, which often led to sweeping changes when his policies were ultimately accepted, embraced, and replicated across the state and nation.”
This sounds as if he is running for President of the World… but he’s running in the wrong direction. From his website:
Newsom’s top priorities for his administration include:
- tackling homelessness and building more housing,
- keeping California safe,
- creating opportunity for all,
- building a healthier California, and
- standing up for California values — from civil rights, to immigration, environmental protection, access to quality schools at all levels, and justice.
“Tackling homelessness…” we see how that has played out with Newsom succeeding in exponentially growing more drug-addicted homeless vagrants in the state.
“California values.” Gov. Newsom neglects to include the word “legal” in front of “immigration.”
Notably, Gov. Newsom expanded the state’s Medi-Cal low-income health system to include illegal immigrants. And his public utilities commission is expanding the California LifeLine Program, which gives discounted home phone and cell phone services and discounts on their phone bills to low-income households, to illegal aliens… at taxpayer expense – while at the same time, approving a 4th utility rate increase to Californians.
And California’s public school systems hasn’t been “quality” for three decades, especially now that Newsom and Democrats have turned public elementary education into a giant social “gender” experiment on California’s children.
Rep. Kiley addresses this:
“In the Education Committee, I spoke about the need to counteract Newsom’s vile new law that forces schools to keep secrets from parents. We then passed the PROTECT Kids Act, restoring parental consent for any change to a child’s gender markers or sex-based accommodations.”
California Democrats passed Assembly Bill 1955 by Assemblyman Chris Ward (D-San Diego), the bill to prohibit schools from notifying parents if their child is “gender confused.”
AB 1955 specifically:
prohibits public schools and school employees from being required to disclose a student’s sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression to any other person [the parents] without the student’s consent.
AB 1955 is pure evil, designed to drive a wedge between parents and their children. Gov. Newsom signed it into law. His children attend expensive private schools.
Gov. Newsom claims:
“California is the tentpole of the American economy. Home to the world’s greatest higher-education system. A place where people can love who they want, access the reproductive freedom they deserve, and pursue a dream of a safe and prosperous life – their California dream. Across the spectrum, California simply has no peers.”
In Gavin Newsom’s delusion:
- the world’s greatest higher-education system is actually the DEI leader in the world and producing stunningly ignorant, unemployable graduates;
- “where people can love who they want” is a reminder that on “Feb. 12, 2004, then-Mayor Gavin Newsom upended the raging national debate over gay marriage when he directed the San Francisco County Clerk to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.”
- “access to reproductive freedom” is secret code for abortion up to/through the 9th month of pregnancy;
- “pursue a dream of a safe and prosperous life” – no one in California is allowed to pursue a safe and prosperous life with record retail and violent crime across the state, and businesses fleeing California in droves; and
- California’s $20 fast food minimum wage… fast food businesses are closing across the state and laying off employees.
Newsom claims California’s economy is “Golden.” He says:
“California has one of the most equitable tax systems in the entire country, and is #1 in the nation for new business starts, #1 for access to venture capital funding, #1 for manufacturing, #1 for high-tech, and #1 for agriculture.”
All of those links in Newsom’s statement on “California’s Golden economy” link back to his own website (a form of “because I say so”). However, his ludicrous claim “California has one of the most equitable tax systems” links to the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy in Washington D.C., a non-profit organization which claims, “Tax justice is critical to racial justice.”
10 states with the highest personal income tax rates
- California: 13.3%
- Hawaii: 11%
- New Jersey: 10.75%
- Oregon: 9.9%
- Minnesota: 9.85%
- District of Columbia: 8.95%
- New York: 8.82%
- Vermont: 8.75%
Iowa: 8.53%***- Wisconsin: 7.65%

Rep. Kiley wraps up with Newsom’s recent comeuppance:
“Newsom, meanwhile, suffered further humiliation. After the Democrat leader of the Senate blew off his “Special Session” to raise gas prices, the Democrat Governor of Arizona has joined with the Governor of Nevada to oppose it as well.
There is no more toxic politician in America.”

Newsom has to say something. President Trump is in California right now highlighting the many ways California is going down the toilet, and pointing out the many failures of Kamala Harris as AG.
“President Trump Holds Press Conference in Los Angeles” – 9/13/24
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yziFtcK7tw&t=1s
(Trump begins speaking at 3:23:15 marker)
Globe readers, please be sure to watch the Trump remarks in Palos Verdes linked above. The mere presence of Donald Trump quietly and soberly telling the truth about California, on the grounds of his property in California, is such a stark contrast from Narcissist Newsom and his Merry Band of Destroyers, including of course one Kamala Harris, that the death throes of our Once-Golden State at the hands of these power-mad losers will hit you with a full impact of disgust —- and grief.
I find it odd that Newsom would mention being number 1 in agriculture. If he had his way with water policy Ag will take a big hit. Just as at one time California could have been considered a major player in the timber industry. Now we export smoke from the tree fires as the trade winds blow east. I had a forest ranger tell me recently when visiting the Grand Canyon that there have been times when you cannot see across the canyon because of the smoke from fires in California.
Hair gel Hitler Newsom is a WEF globalist stooge and he along with the rest of the criminal Democrat mafia in the legislature are doing everything they can to destroy agriculture in California such as denying farmers and ranchers access to water?
Take for example Democrat Assemblywoman Rebecca Bauer-Kahan. She’s the wealthy far-left environmental lawyer from the SF Bay Area who authored Assembly Bill 460 that primarily targets desperate ranchers and farmers along the Shasta River. From now on, anyone violating curtailment orders imposed by the unelected bureaucrats on the State Water Resources Control Board could face fines of up to $10,000 per day – a 20-fold increase – plus $2,500 for every acre-foot of water taken. The criminal Democrat mafia in the legislature passed the bill and sent it to Newsom who is expected to sign it.
Democrat Assemblywoman Rebecca Bauer-Kahan also authored Assembly Bill 2236 that bans any kind of plastic bags at food stores and convenience stores. She’s a member of the California Legislative Jewish Caucus but she didn’t issue a peep when pro-Hamas thugs stormed the California State Capitol and shut down the Assembly session.
Instead she wants to ban plastic bags and punish struggling ranchers and farmers.
Democrat Assemblywoman Rebecca Bauer-Kahan lives in the ritzy San Francisco Bay Area city of Orinda and represents the 16th State Assembly district which is the most affluent Assembly district in the state. The wealthy City of Orinda where Democrat Assemblywoman Rebecca Bauer-Kahan lives in her mansion gets 90 percent of their drinking water from snowmelt from the Sierra Nevada mountains via the Mokelumne River Watershed. That river pours into East Bay Municipal Utility District’s Pardee Reservoir in Valley Springs, California which is about a hundred miles away from the City of Orinda.
It’s ironic that an environmental lawyer like Democrat Assemblywoman Rebecca Bauer-Kahan wants to punish struggling ranchers and farmers who live along the Shasta River but she hypocritically has no problem with her wealthy City of Orinda stealing water from the the Mokelumne River Watershed that’s over a hundred miles away?
Luckily for people in the Bay Area and throughout California, Dem Asm Rebecca Bauer-Kahn is facing an apparently very sensible Republican opponent on the ballot in November, Joseph Rubay. Businessman, family man, by all indications a common sense person. Whether you are a Dem, Repub, or Independent voter in Assembly District 16 you might want to check him out.

97% of women who hyphenate their surnames are complete Karens…
Like the ones that snitch to the homeowner association Board…
And wear masks in their cars when driving alone….
Democrat Assemblywoman Rebecca Bauer-Kahan acts like an insufferable Karen and she looks like one with a Karen haircut. Her website as a photo of her promoting a recent Townhall on menopause (how appropriate?):
(https://a16.asmdc.org/)
“Menopause Town Hall” —- hilarious. Meaning if you don’t laugh you’ll cry.
Is this really what you need your assembly representative to do?
Will she really get more votes because she showcases this silly nonsense? That’s more appropriate for a women’s book club or somewhere else in the private realm?
Apparently that gyno/obstetrician or whatever the hell he was on the “panel,” was the only man who was willing to enter THAT meeting or go near the place at all, probably to pump up business. No other men to found there, I’m guessing.
This is who Bauer-Kahan is, in the midst of overwhelming REAL problems in California, ones that she could even have an impact on if she chose to and given her position, but she clearly doesn’t give a crap.
Man oh man, I am so tired of these unserious legislators who waste our time. You too?
If you want it to STOP, consider a vote Nov 5 for the alternative, Joseph Rubay, Assembly District 16
Our Gov does have a good ‘do, has Hollywood level grooming, but not a lick critical thinking though. Guess all that attention out of state in attempt to garner a dem POTUS nomination didn’t work out for him.
Gavin Newsom and his lies. They never end. And they are not delusions, either, meaning he KNOWS it’s bull. If you think even HE believes all of that horse$%@#, the stuff he repeatedly and shamelessly trots out every single time he shows up, you need to think again. This malevolent narcissist will say and do ANYTHING if he thinks it will help him grab the golden ring.
What a STARK contrast from what has been offered by a former and (God willing) future president, who sincerely seeks to serve and has a solid record of it, who loves this country and wants to save it from further descent into a brutal, crime-ridden, drug-ridden, economically devastated, lawless, border-less, depressed and depressing pit of a smoldering hellhole, just like the one in California that Gavin Newsom, Kamala Harris, and the rest of their ilk, have created and burdened its people with for years and years and would like to see imported to the entire nation.
Once you know — or even suspect, based on the evidence we have — that Gavin Newsom would like to gather up, for example, as many of the children of L.A. Unified School District as possible, whose district population is by now surely majority children of illegal aliens, and feed them into the monstrous transgender and abortion and God-only-knows-what-else GRINDER of HORRORS he champions, then you know who our governor really is. Does anyone really need to know anything more than that?
The horrible truth is that by donning a mask of phony claims and assertions Gavin Newsom spews about what was once our beautiful and functioning state, which is now a dysfunctional crime-ridden sewer thanks to him, he has consistently attempted to hide, without success, the reptilian evil underneath. Ditto for that empty-headed witch Kamala Harris and her equally devastating wake of California destruction.
For sure Newsom has consistently attempted to hide, without success, the reptilian evil underneath. He looks more reptilian with each photo op?
Yes. Here’s a photo (on the floor of the Dem Convention) where Newsom kinda looks like a reptile who hasn’t quite recovered completely from his latest Botox refresher. But who knows, to be fair, it could just be bad lighting or a bad camera angle. 🙂

That’s a BIG bong-hit right there…
Kamala frequently has that same vapid look in her eyes…
Good point, CD9. Hadn’t looked at it that way until you said it.
And if it were proven somehow I would have NO trouble believing it.
There is NOTHING, NOTHING to admire in these people who currently rule us.
They are the lowest of the low.
We can change that. I hope we will. SOON.
Hair gel Hitler Newsom is delusional and he’s destroyed California’s once vibrant economy and replaced it with his “golden economy” that consists of unlimited taxpayer funded benefits for illegal migrants, unlimited taxpayer funded welfare, unlimited baby abortions, disfiguring transexual surgeries, soaring crime, homelessness, small business bankruptcies, etc. Newsom and the rest of the criminal Democrat mafia in the legislature destroy everything just like satan whom they worship.
The economy is golden for him and his fellow Comrades, that is all that counts to him.
You hit it head on every thing you said is true keep fighting for us
