“California continues to lead the nation’s economic recovery, adding 104,500 jobs in May, marking the fourth month in a row of six-figure job creation,” California Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a statement Friday.
Wow! Shazam! Pow! Relief! Whew! The California economy is back according to Gov. Newsom. But he left out a few critical points: He locked down California ahead of the other 49 states forcing “non-essential” businesses to close and lay-off employees.
Yet now Gov. Newsom is taking credit for creating jobs? He’s got a short memory after killing off 40% of California businesses with his COVID lockdown orders in March 2020.
The governor and his marketing team are running ads claiming “California Roars back.”
The best comments on that Tweet were:
“Roaring back with a 8.3% unemployment rate…”
“We wouldn’t need to ‘roar back’ if you didn’t destroy it. #RecallNewsom“
“Our health-centric approach has saved lives, resulting in one of the lowest case rates and the most vaccinations in the country – now we’re leading the nation in health and economic outcomes,” Newsom said in the same statement.
Other states, which did not force such draconian lockdowns on businesses and residents, also have extremely low case rates, and did not force businesses to lay-off employees.
“We’ve regained more than half the jobs we lost over the past year, but there’s still a long way to go,” Newsom said, “– that’s why we’re making historic investments in small business tax cuts and grants, tax rebates for two-thirds of California families and rent relief for those hardest hit by the pandemic.”
“Investments in small business tax cuts and grants, and tax rebates,” not only would not be necessary had Gov. Newsom allowed businesses to remain open for business, the state “investing in small businesses” is never real. It’s taxpayers who are “investing in small businesses,” and not the governor or “the State.”
Then there was this Tweet from Gov. Newsom:
What in fresh hell was that video?
Responses were all over the place on Gov. Newsom’s Twitter feed, and many made clear their frustration with the governor:
“CA is back and fully reopen thanks to the recall efforts.”
“How can a lot of businesses reopen when they’re already bankrupt??????”
“If it wasn’t for the recall, we’d be in lockdown until 2022.”
The California economy can’t roar back as long as Gov. Newsom pays people not to work.
The Globe has heard from many California employers who report that “hiring is an impossible task right now.”
One employer share this with the Globe about trying to hire:
“The benefits need to stop now. I advertised a month ago – paid more than $500 to each. Not one candidate.”
“I tried again with another service 2 weeks ago. Experience job opening got 3 candidates none of which will return phone call, Text or email. Beginning job opening- Got 3 candidates. Once does not answer one did not give valid phone number or email address and the 3rd one I was able to talk to but will see if he shows up for interview. I would not normally hire him but I need a body.”
An employer told the Globe:
“We have survived on savings and the fact we own the building—and we are blessed with a tenant who has scraped by with the help of PPP loans, and been able to pay rent.”
A restaurant owner said this:
I just got back from a trip driving around Nebraska and Colorado. Every business in every small town we drove thru had a Help-Wanted posting in the window. Many promised starting wages of $13/hr. This in places where the starting wages a year ago were probably $8 to $9/hr. Every restaurant we stopped at was running limited hours and had new and poorly trained staff.
Higher unemployment compensation DOES reduce the incentive to work. What a stunning reminder of how government can distort markets.
When a Quarter Pounder meal in Nebraska is running $8.45 you know labor and food costs are going crazy.
And finally, another business owner told the Globe this:
Just got done signing loan docs for additional EIDL loan money from the SBA. Since the new administration has taken over the SBA is a steaming pile of you know what. Had to go to my congress member’s office—took 3 tries and a personal appeal—to get anyone at SBA to even look at my file. And they contacted me originally!!
This is what happens when “the State” gets involved in businesses. Feeling the ROAR yet?
Business owners, send the Globe your stories about reopening – the good, the bad, and the ugly to katy@californiaglobe.com

1.4 million views of this contrived Hollywood set that looks like something at Disneyland. Newsom and HIS people are going to be hearing the "roar of anger" from the people they are INSULTING with these IDIOTIC commercials.
Vote the Recall!
Its up to us, the great unwashed, unwoke out here to carry that ball because the issue is suspiciously absent from the mainstream media.
Dont forgive. Don't forget. Vote.
No.
Gavin Newsom and his Hollywood friends really have their nerve. Roaring Back? Please! Katy Grimes is right: Newsom was the first to shut down his state, after which he killed off 40% of CA businesses, never mind that he held us captive on the scariest and most annoying roller coaster ride ever invented --- for 16 months. Probably most of us suspect that Newsom's shutdown torture chamber will be revived at any moment. And now we have to listen to him brag about California roaring back with job creation thanks to him?
Meanwhile, it's difficult to imagine how Californians could be in worse shape culturally and economically than we are now. (knock wood) Is it incompetence on the governor's part? Or is he unlucky, he just happens to be cursed somehow with the opposite of the Midas Touch? Or is it purposeful? I think it's purposeful, but it hardly matters, we just know we're in a mess in every category one could name. Businesses closed forever, skyrocketing crime, out-of-control homeless/vagrancy, closures of public schools (which were apparently only indoctrination centers to begin with), rapid rise in cost of living, constant fearmongering, lies, and nagging about COVID and the sketchy vaccines, government corruption and incompetence, government-created drought, open border chaos, disintegrating rule of law, lack of trust in election integrity, etc., you get the picture.
We have to start somewhere and that is to recall this shameless and destructive Gavin Newsom.
We have to do this, we have no choice.

Also please donate to the campaign if you can possibly spare it.
Jobs that returned are low end, not at income levels that would support a family. Small business is missing big time.
Dear Dear Comrades
Do you really believe these puff pieces?
In old days we never read, heard an enlightened word…..familiar?
Amazing what Voodoo mathematics can do for you when you destroy 40 percent of businesses.
For a second there I thought I was reading the Babylon Bee!
“Roaring Back” Huh!
If this is roaring back then we are living in an upside down world!
I do not think that is excess hair gel anymore, he has sh*t for brains and it just is oozing out all over!
He was and is a job killer!
May we all be mindful of his B.S.

A minute into the commercial, Fauci's face-flag is waved; like he's their hero. They might have to cut that part out if his criminal activity with the drug companies is exposed: https://news.yahoo.com/gop-senators-demand-fauci-resign-121555533.html
Saw the Fantasyland commercial for the first time yesterday during the US Open Golf & wanted to shoot my TV set...
What a load of utter bovine excrement...
And the observation about Colorado and Nebraska are 100% true & accurate as we recently took a similar trip to visit family and had the same thoughts...
Newsom was amongst the most egregious and energetic offenders, but all Democrat governors were complicit in the plandemic-related steal of the 2020 election after their multiple impeachment claims failed...
Now Newsom and his BYD Chinese mask deal partners and PLA funders are doing who knows what type of shady deals...
Agree 100% with the other commenter about the RELENTLESS propaganda about very questionable injections and something tells me that something VERY nefarious is underway....
California unveils new vaccine passport...But they don't want you to call it a "vaccine passport.
https://reclaimthenet.org/california-unveils-new-vaccine-passport/
Yeah, they love to give benevolent , nondescript names to shady programs and laws.
They will call it the “Freedom Pass” Only those that have subjected themselves to the experimental shot are allowed to travel freely and live life as once before.
And it allows you to collect spiffy prizes like Taco Bell Tacos, amusement rides,Chipoltle, entry into a lottery, free vacations....
Enjoy it now you may not be around a in few years or too sick????
Newsom says "California is roaring back." It's a good thing that any person with a brain will see through his lies. Its a overhyped positive spin to portray things are great to protect himself from losing when in reality many Californians are struggling.
