Excerpt:
"If we had a proficient President, he would publicly humiliate the pesky pushy California governor for swerving out of his narrow lane. Sadly, Newsom’s predecessor, Jerry Brown, had the same problem – he saw himself as a world leader capable of negotiating important climate change treaties.

In 2017, then-Governor Brown took a trip to China “to meet with Communist dictator President Xi Jinping, signaling to the world his fidelity to the unratified and dubious Paris Climate treaty, in spite of President Donald Trump’s recent withdrawal from the pact,” I reported. “Brown should be investigated for colluding with a known foreign enemy upon his return to the United States–a federal republic of 50 states of which he is but one governor. It is unconstitutional for a state to supplant federal powers and act on its own when dealing with other nations. Brown’s trip to China to enter into a treaty as a sovereign nation is unconstitutional on several levels, and violates the Logan Act.”

Gov. Newsom has a few serious issues in California he should be dealing with, which may not get him elected President, but would help stave off the rapid decline of the Golden State… if he cared at all.

The Wall Street Journal editorial board has a timely piece today exposing Newsom’s crime-laden state, while his nemesis, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, has actually reduced crime in his:

“In California violent crime is still up 13% since 2019. In Florida it’s down 31.5%. The rate of violent crime in Mr. Newsom’s state last year, 499.5 per 100,000 people, was nearly double that in Mr. DeSantis’s domain, 258.9 per 100,000.”

California Gov. Gavin Newsom isn’t running for president in 2024, at least not yet, but he has agreed to a televised Fox News debate next month with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. One worthy topic will be their respective economic records, but they should also spend some time on public safety."
