Sometimes, the dots connect themselves. Let’s start with today’s bombshell report that Gavin Newsom wildly misled the public about his fire prevention efforts: “An investigation from CapRadio and NPR’s California Newsroom found the governor has misrepresented his accomplishments and even disinvested in wildfire prevention. Newsom overstated, by an astounding 690%, the number of acres treated […]

Nothing Gavin Newsom has done so far could’ve prepared us for this last week. In elaborate taxpayer-funded events, he played a game-show host with a “Big Spin” lottery wheel, posed with minions and smurfs, rode a roller coaster, compared himself to Oprah for “giving away money,” and juggled like an actual clown. Politico described the

California politicians are getting a hefty raise. I couldn’t think of anyone less deserving. I’m declining mine and calling on Gavin Newsom to do the same. But it appears Newsom, already the nation’s highest paid governor, will gladly take the extra $8,809 awarded by his own appointees. Last year, Newsom nobly promised to take a

We’ve just learned Gavin Newsom and the Legislature will ram through a new law, AB 152, to give him total control over the date of the Recall vote. That this is unsurprising doesn’t make it any less chilling. Newsom and his enablers are changing the rules for his own Recall in the middle of the

Gavin Newsom’s refusal to end the State of Emergency is too much for even the New York Times. Today’s paper has a favorable story about my letter demanding an explanation from him. The letter, which you can read here, is joined by James Gallagher and Melissa Melendez. We inform Newsom that ending the emergency is

I want to thank everyone who has encouraged me to run in the Recall election. I can’t tell you how humbled and appreciative I am. I got involved with the Recall in a supporting role: to help support the countless Californians who worked tirelessly, heroically, to build the greatest citizens movement in our history. I

Yesterday Gavin Newsom spun a giant wheel of fortune in a scene that brought cartoon parodies to life. Then in an instant, he went from Pat Sajak to Julius Caesar. “We’re still in a state of emergency,” Newsom declared. Chillingly, he added that “the emergency remains in effect after June 15” because COVID “has not

For a year we’ve been exposing Newsom’s scheme to install his crony in the U.S. Senate. Finally, the media is taking notice. An SF Chronicle Editorial is headlined: “How California Democrats are conspiring to prevent you from electing your senator.” But there’s an even more corrupt conspiracy afoot. Newsom’s allies are openly trying to manipulate

Yesterday the Assembly passed a bill to make Critical Race Theory (dubbed “ethnic studies”) a high school graduation requirement. The vote was 58-9, and I gave the only speech in opposition. Text of the speech is below the video. When the first version of this curriculum was released, it was universally condemned. The Legislative Jewish

Yesterday, Gavin Newsom blasted out a bewildering claim. He tweeted that California created “nearly 40%” of all new jobs “in the NATION” last month. It was fake news. The true “unadjusted” figure is 14 percent. The jobs report actually paints a dismal picture for California: Our unemployment rate is worse than every state but Hawaii
