Gov. Gavin Newsom’s Delusion: California’s ‘Golden Economy’

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):

“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:

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.”
