    California is a failing state. I know first hand. I am a California
    native. The state’s demise has been a slow burn, but greatly accelerated during Jerry Brown’s last two terms as governor, and Governor Gavin
    Newsom put on the afterburners.

    From human poop on the sidewalks, to huge budget deficits and more than
    $1.5 trillion in unfunded public employee pension debt, to one-third of
    the nation’s welfare recipients and one-half of the country’s homeless,
    to K-12 schools graduating kids who can’t read or do basic math, to an insolvent Medi-Cal (Medicaid) system due to fraud and illegal aliens
    receiving taxpayer funded health care, to home hospice health care
    fraud, to $37 billion in fraudulent homeless spending, to $31 Billion in unemployment fraud, to a fraudulent high speed train, to government
    created water shortages, to government influenced wildfires, to locking
    down 40 million residents for three years during a flu, California’s
    governor is failing in a big way. And everyone in the country should
    care because our disastrous governor wants to bring his California to Washington D.C. as your president.

    In order to accomplish this, Gavin Newsom needs a makeover, and STAT.

    The new Vogue Magazine article out this week about California Governor
    Gavin Newsom (with an Annie Leibovitz photo shoot), attempts to rewrite Newsom’s history. Instead, author Maya Singer’s teen crush on Newsom

    seasoned with silver, at ease with his own eminence as he delivers his
    final State of the State address.”

    Are we supposed to say “Be still my beating heart?”

    hair slick with product, discontented with his own triviality as he
    delivers his final State of the State address.

    That is how the fawningly Vogue Magazine article should have begun.

    Singer continues:

    “In Washington, the president believes that might makes right,”
    pronounces California governor Gavin Newsom. “Secret police, businesses raided, windows smashed, citizens detained, citizens shot, masked men
    snatching people in broad daylight….”

    His tone is temperate, but the words echo through the State Capitol’s Assembly chamber, the august backdrop for his speech. “Lining the
    pockets of the rich; crony capitalism at an unimaginable scale,” he goes
    on. “Rolling back rights…. Rewriting history.” Newsom shakes his head, seeming more mournful than angry. Seeming, yes, presidential. “None of
    this is normal.”

    “Seeming, yes, presidential.”

    Actually, seeming, yes, inferior, like a subordinate or pretender.

    Because that is what Gavin Newsom is – a pretender. But to those who are
    not familiar with his devious ways, Sparkle Beach Ken might win them
    over. He’s a master chameleon, of telling whomever he is speaking to
    what they want to hear.

    It’s performative. It’s devilish. Diabolical. Calculated and wicked.

    Singer continues:

    optimism in his eye; Kennedy-esque. Add to that his stunning wife and
    four adorable kids, and the executive strut of a self-made millionaire
    who has spent the past seven years at the helm of a state big, complex,
    and rich enough to be a nation of its own.

    The last “Kennedy-esque” President got caught schtooping his intern in
    the Oval Office.

    The Vogue article is reminiscent of Bernie Goldberg’s A Slobbering Love Barack Obama and the Mainstream Media. This is Part Deux of Goldberg’s
    book which detailed how the left-leaning mainstream media crossed the
    line during the 2008 presidential election campaign and helped to
    determine the outcome.

    Obama was a ghost. Newsom’s been in the public eye for many years, even
    as he tries to rewrite his own history.

    Singer writes about “Newsom’s latest conversation-starter,” his new memoir, Young Man in a Hurry.”

    Most anyone outside of California won’t know how much of his book is

    “The book sets him up as someone who fights, someone who dreams big,
    someone who sweats the details, someone with a desire to serve. These
    are not fixed ideological points; they leave room to maneuver.”

    There are plenty of critics on X, including this political pundit:

    “Nothing they wrote makes Newsom appear to be Presidential, especially because with social media we all know what type of a horrible Governor
    he is! The article LIED about his record in every way imaginable.
    Leftist media organizations CANNOT ever tell the truth about their
    Democrat choices, because all their choices have ever done in Office is
    screw things up.”


    As we reported in October when Gavin Newsom made claims about his poor

    “Poor Gavin Newsom. Who knew he grew up poor, had to hustle to stay
    alive, resorting to Wonder Bread and Mac-n-Cheese for meals, according
    to his latest guest appearance on the ‘All the Smoke‘ podcast?

    “Most poor families back in the 1970’s and 1980’s ate generic, day-old store-brand bread, discounted canned soup and meats, and government
    cheese. I knew skinny poor kids.

    “During the podcast video Newsom slips into some street slang, claiming
    “It was about payin’ the bills, man.” “Wonder bread and Mac ‘n cheese.
    That’s how I grew up, bro.” That “it was just like hustlin.” “I raised
    myself.”

    Right. Gavin was a latchkey kid? When Gavin was featured in a “Children
    of the Rich” article in 1991 at the age of 25, that pretty much put the latchkey kid from the Larchmont Homes tract-housing act to rest… until
    now, as Newsom longs to be America’s next President.

    Gavin Newsom’s father, William Newsom, was the attorney for the
    billionaire Getty Oil family, and managed their assets. Newsom’s father
    was an attorney, a judge and a former associate justice on the
    California Court of Appeals.

    Wasn’t everyone’s dad an associate justice on the California Court of Appeals?

    But Gavin slept on a couch and ate Wonder Bread and “raised himself.”

    And then he opened a winery! At the age of 25, Newsom “and investors” created PlumpJack Associates L.P. in 1991 with the financial help of
    Gordon Getty.

    Gavin Newsom learned to lie before he learned to talk (borrowing from
    Sen. John Kennedy).



    As the Globe reported in June:

    Public Servant Gavin Newsom’s rise in California politics and acquired
    power since the 1990s has been through the knavery of family and
    influential friends.

    If you ever doubted that politics is made up of the elite class who see themselves as the ruling class, but want the taxpayers to pay for
    (his wife) acquired a $9.1 million home in Marin County, I reported in
    November 2024. It’s time to revisit this issue because we still don’t
    have any answers on this home acquisition, or the $3.7 million Fair Oaks
    home also purchased for them in 2018-2019 by another LLC.

    We concluded then and now:

    Why lie about being a privileged kid?

    Because Gavin Newsom is inauthentic, phony and specious (to be polite),
    as well as a compulsive liar (to be a little harsh). A compulsive liar
    is a habitual liar. Newsom’s inauthenticity leads him to compulsively
    lie to whomever he is speaking – a kind of pandering.

    Lastly, California Business and Industrial Alliance (CABIA) unveiled
    this football-themed billboard in Times Square, comparing Governor Gavin Newsom’s leadership in California to one of the NFL’s most consistently underperforming franchises, the New York Jets.

    Be sure to reread our October article, which managed to refute most of
    the Vogue Magazine article before it was even written. Gavin Newsom is desperate to rewrite his own history before the rest of the country
    Growing up Getty and is trying to hide it from everyone.
