On the Upside, Gavin Newsom Is Toast
Kurt Schlichter
Sure, Los Angeles is a burning wasteland where communist agitators and Third World peasant invaders loot and pillage with the tacit approval of California’s Democrat overlords while the regime media describes the chaos as a joyous, peaceful, and spontaneous manifestation of anger at President Trump for daring to enforce duly enacted laws, but there is an upside. Every cloud has a silver lining, and in this case, the silver lines are running through the prissily pampered hairstyle of Governor Gavin Newsom. The best part of all the recent brick-tossing, Mexican flag-waving, and Apple Store-looting is that this ridiculous man now has absolutely zero chance of ever being president.
He really wants to be president, and his wanting is the alpha and omega of the rationale for his doing so. Gavin Newsom is not only an empty suit; he’s barely a suit at all. He’s not just unaccomplished. He’s negatively accomplished. He managed to take Scat Francisco, an open sewer masquerading as a city even before he became mayor and made it worse. Then he took California, the formerly great Golden State that was already slip-sliding to the bottom of the slippery slope under Democrat supermajorities when he took over and made it worse.
How much worse? Hordes of ravenous hobos wander California’s streets, littering them with needles and their droppings. Criminals pilfer our stores, invade our homes, and terrify our citizens. Schools teach kids they can switch genders but not how to read. Big companies and productive individuals are blowing this popsicle stand; with 12% of America’s population, California has about 33 1/3% of its welfare bums. Oh, and what his state’s gross incompetence hasn’t gotten burned down by wildfires will get burned down by his state’s coddling of semi-human savages. But hey, the weather can be fantastic.
