We get what we deserve when we vote for Democrat politicians who promise to fundamentally transform America. Each point in this article is a facet of this transformation. Each point in this article is supported by emotional arguments and by fantasy, not by experience, facts or results. Gender affirming care for five year olds is compassion. Higher taxes for the rich because they don't t pay their fair share. Open borders because it is compassionate. Elimination of fossil fuel because the very existence fo humanity depends upon it and Greta Thunberg says so. Never mind that it was hotter, colder, CO2 higher, CO2 lower before humans yet today fossil fuel drives everything. All nonsense but all emotionally charged issues. Right here on these pages I read self described conservatives excoriating Trump for personal reasons and stating that they will vote for Trump only because he is not Biden. Until we start to vote for politicians who seek to preserve our republic rather than fundamentally transform it, we will continue our transformation into a third world shithole. Until we return to voting for policy rather than personality we will continue our decline.
This was never about voting democrats out when Republicans decided to cover their mouths by demonstrating and going along with the election fraud the Democrats after Judicial Watch won their lawsuit over California for dirty voter rolls. The Democrats having double and triple voter registration numbers the Republicans blissfully in unison went along with it. While the RNC was withholding raised campaign money from President Trump. There is going to be no more money and its laundered through lobbying for special interest groups. "We the People" for Santa Barbara County have no need for the infighting and mob mentality within the two parties fighting over control.
Is this the same Judicial Watch whose founder Larry Klayman was suspended from the from legal practice in DC for 18 months due to a sexual harrasment suit?
This is Thomas Fitton's Judicial Watch - they have been doing a lot of the heavy lifting of late, starting with uncovering Hillary Clinton's private email servers.
What is inherently wrong with the rich paying higher taxes? They have more wealth and a greater capacity to comfortably pay off their taxes. And I am NOT any sort of leftist/progressive.
What is inherently wrong with vast numbers not paying any taxes at all - not even one token dollar in support of this country at large?
The tax code is the tax code. It should not be used for frank discrimination against anyone -- "the rich"; nor be a tool to act out unfounded class envy. The "rich" are often very generous philanthropists, and yes, the tax code does does support this activity but only according to their own strict guidelines.
Why deny "the rich" their own choices when supporting IRS approved charitable organizations? Why demand "the rich" must to kick in more, just so the government can waste it on their own pet causes? Look around this town - it has an edge, primarily due to a long history of private philanthropy.
Value these voluntary contributions by "the rich" amongst us, please.
Where did i say I hate those who are wealthy and just want to seize their wealth? Wealthy people have a greater capacity to pay, they should pay a greater percentage of their income in taxes compared to the less fortunate. Yes charity is great, but it should be done for the sake of uplifting others, not to pay less in taxes.
I do not care for leftist government spending, but I do support Catholic Social teaching which emphasizes helping the less fortunate in both material and spiritual needs. I fail to see how this is so offensive, and I'm not a socialist who hates property rights and wealth.
What limit would you put on taking from the "rich"...dollar or %?
Any thoughts on a flat tax? Clearly the US Tax Code...a construct of DC K Street lobbyists...both sides of the corrupt aisle...witness "earmarks".
Question: Do you support even $1 of taxpayers funds being given to illegal aliens or tax exemptions for any organization...i.e., 501C3, etc., that aid and abet the same?
Obviously you are fully entitled to your opinions...it just offers little clarity regarding "leftist/progressive". issue...thanks....
The state has two local names and faces: State senator Monique Limon and Assemblyman Gregg Hart. Partners in this decline.
Along with their predecessors: Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson and Assemblyman Das Williams. This covers our own local contributions to this current state of affairs in this once beautiful state.
As often said, insanity is doing the same things over and over again, but expecting different results. Local voters have had solid options to choose from in past elections, but continue to reject them for more of the same. Please stop doing this to us.
Gavin Newsom, offspring & active member of the 4 power families that have run California over the past 3 generations (families of Pat Brown, John Pelosi, William Newson, & John P. Getty)...
Gavin is in deep - now 1 of the high-ranking shot callers for the evildoers that wield power over the masses (aka the Elites, Cabal, Globalists, Old Guard, Black Hats, etc.)...obvious to most people that Gavin is compromised & active member of the US Pols (+++) that are working with the CCP to collapse Our Country...example: 45 of 50 US governors did not force COVID-19 infected patients into nursing homes, but five D Governors did, including Gavin...
Gavin, a psychopath, is a traitor to Our Country...
If any of the upcoming voters between the ages of 18-30 would take the 60 seconds needed to read this article maybe, just maybe, a small percentage would think twice about voting for this jackball and the " governing" party he's affiliated with!!!
Newsom played the abortion card at the very last minute before his recall election. Are you overlooking that play? Imagine that, once he played the abortion card he got the young people's vote.
By egregiously exploiting "abortion" at such a late hour Newsom's primary opponent Larry Elder, who was nipping at Newsom's heels, would not have time to respond to Newsom's lies. Typical Democrat dirty tricks - they are good at this. Rarely do they ever win on their merits, which are few, but Democrat do know how to destroy anyone who dares oppose them. When the state loses every time a Democrat wins, this is no victory for this state - just the Democrat special interests.
I don't see Newsom leaning on his base as any kind of 'dirty tricks'. He's always been pro-choice. He was being challenged with a recall. I Don't think he's be watching TV or clipping coupons. Even if the cutpons where for the French Laundry.....
Huh, not following your argument? Newsom had two races to win- beat the recall, and if not then beat Elders. So he used the abortion card early to take out Elders and beat back the recall at the same time. Nancy Pelosi was a good mentor.
_IF_ Gruesom Newsom was elected fairly it means the majority of CA voters want the results you outlined. I know most people are stupid, but could they be that dumb? Presumably not, so the problem must lie elsewhere.
The average voter is pissed off at the government but won’t take the time or put in the effort to determine which politician and their policies could make things better. Instead, they sorta listen to the news, kinda get an impression who promises the most goodies, goes to the voting booth and marks the [D]. They are then a kingmaker.
God Bless you, Katy it just reinforces why Article 4 Sections 3 and 4 of the US Constitution is the only way out of these deliberate usurpations, acts of treason, and insurrection on the US Constitution. The West Virginia Model was used when the state of Virginia on the other side of the Mountain Range joined the confederacy and The great People left behind followed the US Constitution and followed and joined the Union of States in 1861/1862. This History has repeated itself here and now when California's Constitution of 1849 was compacted with God and ratified by Congress including Section 1 Clause 18 to not let Slavery enter the state. In 1865 when 20 generals installed President Lincoln as President of the United States he abolished slavery by using the same language as the 13th Amendment to end slavery throughout the Nation in 1865. On March 12, 2024, I read Proclamation #14 entitled Slavery with all this constitutional history repeating itself today at the Board of Supervisors. Board Member Steve Lavagnino made a statement suggesting we place Election Security on the agenda as weeks and time passed it is now very clear that California has fallen to Slavery. NewCaliforniastate.com is the only way out of this. Our state was placed in this position to bring the whole nation down. Our state military has been federalized for such a time as this. Many people do not understand why President Trump left that in place so that our governor would not use the military against the people of California. The Military has jurisdiction over the US. Constitution. Only We the People can save our Nation and our State. NewCaliforniaState.com will be reading another Proclamation/Constitutional default on April 21st Live on the steps of the Capital in Sacramento, California will be broadcast live as posted on the website by Governor Pro Tempore Paul Preston on a21r.com. " Blessed is the Nation, Whose God, is Our Lord." PSALMS 33:12❤️❤️🕊🕊🇺🇲🇺🇲
I called into the Howard Jarvis "We the People" hour from 6 to 7 pm on Tuesdays on their Kabc live broadcast and told them that I'm Sherry Foster assemblyman for New California State in Santa Barbara County. California is in deep financial trouble with 1.7 triĺlion dollars we have been speaking about election security/Integrity at our local Board of Supervisors. Money has been tracked and traced back to the CCP in Monterey Park. 🇺🇲🇺🇲✨️✨️🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊
And Gavin does all that with a Cheshire grin that captivates the blind. Mr. Newsom is incompetent and in way over his head. I'm afraid California may never recover from the damage he is responsible for along with the minions elected by "the People". Our wake up call is now.
I didn’t know about the house on the Sacramento River. He is unbelievable, and I have no idea except for the illegals, who would want him to govern California.
I hope the Californians especially the Democrats will wake up to this insanity get rid of him ASAP
Are there not nearly 500,000 government employees in California? That is who remain very happy to vote for any Democrat. Newsom is only looking at the revenue side of the current state budget debt; not the expense side. Follow the money, your money, if you want to see who still supports Newsom. Or Biden for that matter. Pay to play.
Thanks Katy, for composing the list. Sadly many of the items cited required the assistance of legislatures sent to Sacramento by towns like ours.

Does that negate the writers point? Or is that just a diversion...albeit inaccurate??
This is Thomas Fitton's Judicial Watch - they have been doing a lot of the heavy lifting of late, starting with uncovering Hillary Clinton's private email servers.
Thank you. Digging a little more there are quite a few "Judicial Watch"s.

In the recall vote 76% of 18-34 year olds voted to keep him in. https://www.kron4.com/california-governor-recall/majority-of-californians-voted-to-keep-gov-newsom-exit-poll/

Hasn't Newsom always been pro abortion? I'm not understanding which card he pulled out of his sleeve?
Not the most balanced version of the events, but Politico reports on Newsom playing the abortion card against Elder .....hard. Smear the issue and don't leave time for rebuttal. Just leave your dirty fingerprints. https://www.politico.com/states/california/story/2021/09/03/newsom-hits-elder-over-anti-abortion-activist-tweet-9427236

Lots of work ... kudos to Katy ...
... that said, I'm afraid the people who need to understand ... refuse to accept the memo.
