Gavin Newsom's Weird Idea of 'Freedom'

In a run-up to what is likely to be a 2024 presidential bid, California Governor Gavin Newsom hit upon the bizarre idea of boasting in commercials that California is America's true "free" state.

Part of his ad campaign is to attack Florida -- currently run by Newsom's possible rival, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

Yet, with the most burdensome regulations and high tax rates, Newsom's California is arguably the most unfree state in the union.

In return for these steep costs, the state's public institutions, infrastructure, and services are among the country's worst.

California's once-vaunted freeway system is near the bottom of all state comparisons. California's Highway 99, which runs the length of the Central Valley, is one of the deadliest roads in America based on miles driven.

Over half the nation's homeless crowd the state's major cities. One-third of America's welfare recipients have flooded into the state. A fifth of the resident population lives below the poverty line. Well over a quarter of Golden State residents were not born in the United States.

California public school test scores consistently fall among the bottom 10 states. San Francisco has the highest per capita property crime rate in the country.

The recently recalled San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin and his soon-to-be recalled Los Angeles counterpart George Gascon have nearly ruined their cities. Both are iconic of multibillionaire George Soros' nationwide efforts to undermine the entire criminal justice system.

Thanx to Democrats, California is a 3rd world shithole.. :(

What Democrats did to California, Democrats want to do to this country...

It's a GOOD thing that Democrats are going to be relegated to Minority Party status for the rest of my lifetime at least...

White House assurances on inflation spark backlash from frustrated swing-state Democrats

(CNN)The White House has been so wrong, so often, on inflation that its latest assurance that the painfully high cost of living has peaked, after more record-busting data, didn't pass muster -- especially with swing state Democrats in an election year.

New statistics on Wednesday showing consumer prices rocketing 9.1% in June year-over-year -- a 40-year high -- dealt another blow to a reeling administration and posed a fresh test of President Joe Biden's capacity to drag his party out of a deepening political hole.

What's happening: Democratic strategists say the party's biggest vulnerability is assuming that the priorities of progressive activists are the same as those of working-class voters.

Progressive activists led the push to cut police budgets. Communities of color have borne the brunt of higher crime.
Hispanics living on the U.S.-Mexico border are more likely to favor tougher border security measures that Republicans have championed.

The recall of liberal school board members and a district attorney in San Francisco was fueled by disillusioned Asian-American Democrats.

How are you going to explain how Trump is fit to be President when his attorneys start arguing that he is not competent to face charges stemming from his failed insurrection attempt?

The average price of a gallon of gas in the U.S. went just over $5.00 a month ago. But it's been falling ever since, and it now stands at $4.60 -- down over 40 cents in a month.

We're below the average price here in Texas; I paid $3.84 earlier today, and it's falling dang near every day too for about a month now.

I would pay 10x that price to have a governor and attorney general here in Texas who weren't furiously digging ever deeper in order to keep up with the other GOP horses' asses in their race to the "bottom" that is bottomless.
