Had Gavin Newsom Funded Prop 36, LA Riots Would Likely Be Over
Los Angeles rioters are handed a ticket and told to appear

The more California Governor Gavin Newsom talks about his mismanagement of the Los Angeles riots, the more apparent it is to the national audience that he is incompetent.
Keep talking Gov. Newsom. Please.
People have been arrested for throwing a Molotov cocktails at police federal agents during the Los Angeles riots – some even charged with attempted murder.
I was at a business meeting Tuesday evening when Gov. Newsom’s “Major Address to Californians” was supposed to air. However grabbing a peak on my phone, what was released was a prerecorded video that didn’t have any audio. A new version of the same video with audio replaced it, where the governor continued to blame the President Trump for Newsom’s own leadership failures, and evident disdain for the California people.
Newsom complained that California National Guardsmen were being pulled from wildfire prevention and border protection. He’s called the President “unhinged.” He said President Trump “is attacking Democracy,” and is responsible for “3rd world lawlessness.”
“He chose theatrics over public safety,” Newsom said of the President. A little self-awareness by the governor would see how this statement is pure projection.
“You’re a fool for blaming Donald Trump,” actor Jon Voight told Gov. Newsom in this video. “What are you doing for this destruction – for these animals destroying Los Angeles. Are you there, talking calmly with them, you Fool?”
“They would burn you down with the cars and the American Flag. This is not about Trump – this is about protecting the people from these animals and criminals trying to destroy us.”
“And our police force – are they supposed to just stand there, let rocks hit them and kill them? Who’s going to save them? You?”
Voight calls Newsom a “lying dog” after the governor blamed President Trump for the anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles. He explained that President Trump called in the National Guard to help them. Voight delivers a very effective rebuke of his governor.
Except these “peaceful protests” would have been disbanded immediately had Gov. Gavin Newsom fully funded Proposition 36, giving police the authority once again to arrest violent criminals.
California voters overwhelmingly passed Prop. 36 in November 2024, along with all 58 counties, to make crime illegal again, mostly overturning the awful Prop. 47. Passed in 2014, Proposition 47 converted many drug felonies and all property crimes valued at $950 or less to misdemeanors, with little to no consequences. The growth of California’s drug-addicted homeless population, the epidemic of fatal fentanyl overdoses and smash and grab robberies are directly tied to Prop. 47, the Globe reported. Notably, the ACLU and groups funded by billionaire George Soros pooled roughly $10 million to fool state voters into passing an initiative called “The Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act.”
But Gavin Newsom opposed Prop. 36, and worked against it. Even after its passage, Newsom did nothing to uphold voter’s clear wishes and fund it in the state budget. And now Newsom is wearing the Los Angeles riots like a hair shirt – as he should. And all of America is watching the California Governor’s meltdown.
The Los Angeles Mayor isn’t any better.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass continued to say city officials had it under control and didn’t need the National Guard and Marines to help return to order. She even said these are peaceful demonstrations.
It took Mayor Bass 5 days of chaos, anarchy, police attacks and looting small businesses to impose a curfew, 8:00pm to 6:00am. Anyone violating the curfew will be arrested, which really means if they catch anyone, a ticket will be issued along with a strong promise to appear.
Hundreds of rioters were arrested Tuesday evening at Newsom’s and Bass’s peaceful protests.
Rioters have been magically provided pallets of bricks, gas masks, and water bottles to throw at police, Fox LA reported. “They also reported that truckloads of bionic shields, which cost $60+ each, are being delivered to rioters. There is NOTHING organic about this. WHO IS FUNDING IT?” Nick Sortor reported on X.
The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Right—CHIRLA—is one of the key players in fomenting the violent response to immigration enforcement actions, California attorney posted to X. I wrote about CHIRLA in 2024 and their $34M in govt funding, and the bill they were sponsoring to give California taxpayer $$$ to illegal immigrants to help them purchase a home. I dug into their IRS filings: The the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA), lists that it received $33,966,572 in government grants on its 2023 IRS Form 990, and $10,628,376 in “All other contributions, gifts, grants, and similar amounts not included above,” for a grand total of $44,760,434. And now we see they are funding LA riots.
In March, Newsom said he will protect us from “hate-motivated violence.” California’s Governor announced then that the state will give an additional $76 million to 347 community groups and faith-based organizations “to help protect them from hate-motivated violence.”
Where did that $76 million go? Don’t the hate-motivated riots qualify?
The California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) administers the funds in the California State Nonprofit Security Grant Program, with awardees chosen “due to their high risk for violent attacks and hate crimes due to ideology, beliefs or mission with funding for security enhancements.”
So in March Gavin Newsom claimed he cares about Californians enough to award $76 million in state (taxpayer) funding to 347 awardees, of which “269 are ideology and spiritually-based organizations.” Some on the list are dubious.
And then there are the NGOs and nonprofit organizations funding and fomenting riots.
Remember, Gov. Newsom wrote on social media Sunday, “Don’t give Trump what he wants.”
Newsom criticized President Trump for exercising his constitutional authority and federalizing the California National Guard and sending them into Los Angeles to help restore order out of the anarchy and chaos. The President was forced to make this move because Gavin Newsom failed to address the anarchy and lawlessness in Los Angeles, and several Sanctuary California cities.
Monday, to Berkeley law professor John Yoo said:
“President Trump has the law firmly on his side, thanks to the Constitution.”
“There is a long and important tradition in our country, expressed in the Posse Comitatus Act, against using the military for domestic law enforcement. (BTW, readers of “Political Questions” likely know that Congress enacted the PCA to withdraw federal troops from the South and end Reconstruction as part of the deal to resolve the 1876 elections — but that is another story). But there are exceptions, such as protecting the national government and its operations and breaking up resistance to federal law, which are authorized by the Constitution itself or in the Insurrection Act. The Supremacy Clause of the Constitution makes clear that federal law is superior to state law; California’s officials and residents have no right to block the enforcement of federal immigration policy, no matter how much they disagree with it.”
Yet Gov. Newsom claims that President Trump is “unhinged.”
Keep talking Gavin.

The “good news” at this point in Newsom’s illustrious career is that he knows —- like the screaming, flailing 3-year-old who has thrown himself down in the Target aisle because Mother has denied him the candy he demands —- that he has made a super-spectacle of himself, for all the nation to see, and that he must stop it, NOW. But unlike the 3-year-old he CAN’T do it. He CAN’T STOP.
Same with Klueless Karen, who is now accidentally peppering her offensive nonsense-talk at the L.A. Mayor’s podium with evidence that she is and has always been intimately involved in helping to orchestrate L.A.’s current spectacle of out-of-control riotous mayhem. She can’t help herself either.
YES, textbook psychological projection rules the spittle-ridden spew of both of these clueless politicians.
YES, “keep talking Gavin,” and keep talking Karen. Go for it, keeping digging your own holes, we know you can’t help yourselves, and we LOVE it, you malevolent, vicious, lying, arrogant, tyrannical commies; the Dynamic Duo of the Moment who have done great work trashing and leveling the Once-Golden State of California, and the once vibrant, eclectic, and always-fascinating-and-surprising (in a good way) City of Los Angeles.
Keep talking, you disgusting crooks. The third round of popcorn is in the popper.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is fire⬆️
En Fuego!
You outdid yourself today ShowandTell.
Thank you for expressing what many in California are feeling.
The commies have come out to play and the masks are coming off!
Just when I could not think I could despise the Boy Governor anymore than I already do, he puts out that horrible video out! He has gone full throttle Marxist and shows he could care less if everyday California and those who protect us are harmed!
Newsom, it is my sincerest wish that justice is coming for you very soon!
YES. Fingers crossed, Cali Girl.
Newsom quotes Justice Brandeis… “THE MOST IMPORTANT OFFICE IS CITIZEN…”
Yes, and Gov. Newsom and Democrat despots ignore the CITIZEN in favor of protecting illegal aliens, marxist-maoist-communist-fascist-elitist political operatives, criminal cartels and paid militants bent on disrupting our lives, livelihoods, and strangling our liberty.
John Marshall, Chief justice of the United States from 1801 to 1835, (1755-1835)
“What are the maxims of Democracy? A strict observance of justice and public faith, and a steady adherence to virtue. “
“California will keep fighting,” Newsom said. “We’ll keep fighting on behalf of our people.””
Yeah, Gavin, your Antifa street army was doing a great job of “fighting on behalf of “our people””…
Are “our people” your hordes of illegal immigrants who have been granted ILLEGAL voting rights in Commiefornia so that they can join SEIU and vote for Democrats in lock-step with their Commie union and “community” organizers??? During voting SEASON???
And you screwed up – you forgot to use the term “OUR Democracy (TM)” in YOUR unhinged screed speech….
What a tool this assclown is…..

Showandtell, there is also a report on the 300 arrests made in LA yesterday. Of those arrested, 100 were found to be criminal illegals, some wearing ankle bracelets. Not only are they criminals, they are STUPID criminals showing up at a public protest in front of hundreds of law enforcement and cameras. If it wasn’t for all the property damage being done and threats to public safety, I actually would not mind watching more of these protests. It will make capturing and deporting stupid illegals a lot faster.
Thank you very much for this update Raymond. There is so much going on, and in my life, too, that I’m missing a lot of it. I’d like to see some usual suspect paid-and-organized protesters rounded up, too, and prosecuted, convicted, jailed, in addition to criminal illegals. These contrived riots and violent theatrical productions have been going on since the so-called “Occupy Wall Street” movement with its tentacles showing up in various cities. The players are always the same with different faces (and ages), if you follow me. You might say they “go on the road” with their act to wreak havoc. I keep hearing BLM, BLM, BLM was the playbook, but the Chaos-Destructo-Crew that is always recruited actually goes way back, and were active in downtown L.A. “Occupy L.A.” was around 2011, as I recall.
Let the sleeping dogs (Newscum and Bass) lie. Their activist friends who run the non-profits are on the wrong side as well even among their OWN people; i.e., the LEGAL immigrant community…..MAGA is on the right side of this issue. This according to a new CNN poll no less:

POTUS has the immigrant community support and he knows it. God Bless President Trump.
AMEN to that

Well isn’t THAT special!
Lock him up and throw away the key.
For crying out loud.
“President Trump responded to fiery but mostly peaceful protests in the City of Angels by activating the mostly peaceful National Guard” is hilarious! Gotta love the Babylon Bee!
There’s another amusing Babylon Bee headline tonight ‘Why Would Trump Do This?’ Cries Gavin Newsom After Getting Head Stuck In Banister. Aides tried for hours to free the governor’s head from the banister, but without success. “It’s really stuck. We’re going to have to saw him out of there. I just can’t believe Trump did this,” said aide Cyndi Miller. “Look at this governor’s head in a banister. This is what authoritarianism looks like.” At publishing time, Newsom’s head had been freed from the banister, after which he immediately stepped on a rake and decried Trump for injuring him.
HA HA
Cartoonishly absurd, my favorite kind.
Love the Babylon Bee
BREAKING NEWS! Senator Alex Padilla ARRESTED for “attacking officers” at DHS press conference. LOCK HIM UP.
Sadly Fox Reporter Bill Mellugin said that Noem said that she had a 10-15 minute meeting with Padilla and they swapped phone numbers. She said it was cordial and beneficial. He had concerns about ICE operations and they opened up a line of communication. She said it was a good meeting and things are okay between the two of them. Blah.
https://x.com/BillMelugin_/status/1933235624821272829
Padilla is a loyal scumbag of the criminal Democratic thug mafia who was elevated for his ethnicity and connections. No doubt he plays well with the cartels?
As CA Secretary of State, Padilla oversaw mail-in ballot expansions and policies that opponents argue weakened election integrity. He awarded a $35 million voter outreach contract to a firm with close ties to the Democratic Party (SKDK), raising serious conflict-of-interest alarms that even California’s own state auditors flagged it.
I admire the way Noem handled this incident. I suspect that she did her best to calm Padilla down during their 15-minute private talk. Noem had to think about how this would be reported by the media and public reactions. Notice in a Fox interview afterwards, that she even mentioned Bass and offered to work with both of them (which they will both ignore of course). Noem took the high road and chose to defuse or attempt to, at least. The most enjoyable part for me was watching Padilla get handcuffed; which he deserved by interrupting that meeting so hotly and aggressively. Secret Service didn’t know who this dude was or what he was trying to do. “I’m Alex Padilla and I have a few questions!…..” Who? Where’s your ID? Does he think that he’s so famous that everyone will know his mug? No way. Only after he gets booked. LOL.
Padilla got all choked up with fake tears and then spoke in Spanishno doubt for the Spanish media (many of which have been bought with Soros money) after being arrested for lunging at Kristi Noem without identifying himself.

Es un cabrón mentiroso!
Boo hoo hoo, they manhandled me, boo hoo hoo
Silly man, and a bad actor too.
“On June 29, 2017, the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity, which President Donald Trump created on May 11, requested data on enrolled voters from every state, dating back to 2006. Padilla said that California would not supply the data.”
The usually-hidden S.O.S. (at the time) Alex Padilla also said that year to a small roomful of Pitzer College students, “there is virtually NO voter fraud in this country.” Even at lefty Pitzer this preposterous statement was met with much laughter. I’d show you the video but it is unfortunately now unavailable for general public viewing.
Also then-S.O.S. Alex Padilla and then A.G. Xavier Becerra (!!!) came bursting out of hiding one day, pre-2020 election, having set up a hastily-thrown-together press conference and, as I recall it (and it was covered here at the Globe) they officiously (and comically) threatened Republicans with potential prosecution for ballot-harvesting (collection of ballots at likely-Repub venues, like certain churches, etc.). Did this really happen in 2020? How time flies! Anyway, the Dems themselves had passed controversial ballot-harvesting in CA in 2016. Totally illegal then in most of the still-sane remainder of the country, by the way. These two might as well have said, from their silly official-looking podium perch, that ballot-harvesting is not for Republicans, it’s only for Democrats! So hands off! Idiots.

One guy doesn’t know why he came. ‘I justcame here to chill out.’ …protestor
Looks like, walks like, quacks like: It should be abundantly clear to all the societal breakdown of America and it’s culture what Newsom and his cohort’s are all about.
Claiming to be defending democracy while he empowers mobs to take everything from you.
