Caitlyn Jenner Drops New Ad That Has California Liberals Fuming

Fuck it - Caitlyn for Governor

DON'T LAUGH! (Okay, you can laugh a little)

Recall Gavin Newsom

Opponents of the Recall are not trying to defend Gavin Newsom. That, after all, is an impossible task. Instead, they’re engaging in what a corrupt political class always resorts to when its power is threatened: character assassination.

Remember the talk of Newsom’s Recall “war council”? It’s been operationalized. The Democrats’ political director just accused me of somehow fueling domestic terrorists by opposing the Governor’s policies. This vile smear follows the infamous “California Coup” event, where Newsom’s cronies likened a citizens’ movement 1.3 million strong to a violent overthrow of the government.

Another broadside came yesterday from one of Newsom’s closest allies, a Senator from San Francisco, who tweeted: “Anyone who enables the recall is participating in a MAGA revenge fantasy.”

That would certainly come as a surprise to Chamath Palihapitiya. He’s a tech billionaire who supported Michael Bloomberg for President and just came out in favor of the Recall. It would also come as a surprise to David and Jacqueline Sacks, a couple that gave the maximum $58,400 to Newsom in 2018 and is now financially supporting the Recall.

But most telling, dozens of the Senator’s own liberal supporters immediately corrected him:

• “Excuse me? Your most ridiculous tweet ever,” wrote one. “I take offense with being lumped as a Trump supporter because our Governor is failing to do his job. Life long Democrat here who happily signed his recall. Newsom is destroying this state.”
• “I actually like you and vote for you. You’re off point here,” wrote another. “I’m telling you, the dissatisfaction with Newsom goes beyond party lines. You’d do yourself good and your constituents good, by recognizing that.”
• “As a constituent, I would love to see you bring the same energy to legislative oversight of the vaccine rollout, EDD, and Gavin’s many other failures,” wrote a Bernie Sanders fan, saying in another tweet: “I’m voting yes on the recall.”
• “That is insane,” read another reply. “I’ve signed the petition and I voted him (and you) in. Newsom has given us the most restrictions with the worst outcomes. Period.”
• “Californians have been defrauded of over $30+ billion dollars…holding those responsible accountable is our duty,” wrote a follower who said he’d supported the Senator for years, adding: “should I simply prioritize being on the right team? This is a lame and disappointing take.”
• “Are you honestly giving him a passing grade re: handling of PG&E, EDD, vaccine rollout, schools?” wrote a follower who recently called for Republican Members of Congress to be arrested for treason. “Stressing party over performance seems so dishonest.”
• “I have been a big supporter of yours since you were my SF Supervisor,” another replied. “But if schools are not opening in the Fall I will certainly support recalling Gov. Newsom.”
• “With all due respect, the recall effort is democratic and constitutional,” said one outspoken critic of Republicans in Congress. “@GavinNewsom let us down with EDD, arbitrary decisions on lockdowns, schools, and vaccines. Voters decide what happens next as it should be.”
• “The EDD mess is going to have millions of people siding with the recall people,” said a user who retweets the likes of AOC.
• “Senator, gov has violated many rules himself, failed everyone, including those who cannot help themselves,” wrote a follower who has tweeted comments like, “Vote Biden not murderers and psychopaths.” 
• “I voted for him. He needs to go.”

These are not isolated examples. I speak every day with Democrats, Independents, and Republicans alike who’ve simply had enough. They may not agree on much politically, but they agree we deserve so much better. They agree our lives should not be turned upside by a corrupt Governor. They agree there’s no reason California should ever rank 50th out of 50 in anything – let alone just about everything.

Meanwhile, Newsom is calling California’s “progressivism” the “roadmap to success” for the Biden Administration. That is the absolute height of delusion. But it does show that the Recall is a movement with national significance: an urgent warning to the nation not to copy California’s failures.

CALIFORNIA PROTESTS: Open Up California! Open Up America!

Fuck Our Communist Dictators

• Cowardly "Conservative" GOP Assemblymen and Senators hid in their closets rather than come out and stand up with the American people.

"USA! USA! OPEN UP! OPEN UP!" Thousands of patriots came out to Sacramento, California to protest the extended shutdown, fight for their Constitutional rights and demand the reopening of the state. Protests are happening across California and the United States where Governors are overstepping people's rights and freedoms, playing politics with this crisis and keeping states shut beyond scientific justification to do so. OPEN UP AMERICA AGAIN!

Democrat doesn’t know where he lives

Liar, Liar Pants on Fire

Democrat takes a tax break in Maryland as his principal residence but claims he lives in California.

Via Fresno Bee:

TJ Cox “made an honest mistake” when he marked a second home in Maryland as his principal residence, the Fresno Democrat’s campaign said Tuesday.

Spokesmen for the campaign last week claimed the principal residence declaration was the result of an error by the state. The campaign then characterized it as Cox’s mistake after The Bee provided it with a notarized public document showing Cox had initialed and signed a section saying the home was his primary residence.

Cox, a Democrat who owns several businesses in the central San Joaquin Valley, is running against Rep. David Valadao, R-Hanford, for California’s 21st Congressional District seat.

The Bee previously reported that Cox owned a three-bedroom, four-bathroom house in Bethesda, Maryland – a Washington, D.C., suburb – and claimed the nearly $1 million home as a principal residence. Cox also claimed a Fresno home as his principal residence, and federal tax laws do not allow an individual to claim more than one.

Campaign spokesman Phillip Vander Klay said Tuesday that, after The Bee brought the issue to his attention, Cox contacted the state of Maryland and Montgomery County, where his home is located, to change his residency status. He also is willing to refund the $692 tax credit he received from the county as a result of the error, Vander Klay added.

State property records show the home is no longer classified as Cox’s principal residence.

When asked why Cox did not notice the error in 2017, when he collected the tax credit, Vander Klay said: “It was an honest mistake that he filled out the principal residence not knowing the legal definitions. His family was living there.”

John Cox launches bus tour in California governor's race, telling voters 'help is on the way'

Do California Voters Care That They Have A Real Choice?

• Will voters mindlessly default to the insane open borders Leftist Democrats who tax everything?  I tend to think so, but Cox may make a race of it.

(Los Angeles Times)  -  Republican John Cox, kicking off the final weeks of his campaign for governor, huddled on Wednesday with workers who produce Sriracha hot sauce and prodded them to air their grievances about California’s housing costs and the price they pay at the pump.

The low-key event kicked off Cox’s “Help Is On The Way” statewide bus tour, which will provide the GOP candidate ample opportunities to attack rival Gavin Newsom and other Democrats for the day-to-day struggles of working Californians.

Cox listened intently as mixing-room worker Sal Salas talked of needing two incomes in the family just to pay the rent. Felipe Martinez added that his four children sleep in the lone bedroom in his San Dimas apartment while he crashes every night in the living room.

“The primary reason I’m running for governor is because of the affordability of the state, and livability — and the quality of life in California,” Cox told the small gathering of workers circled around a table inside Huy Fong Foods in Irwindale, where he was joined by company owner David Tran. “I’ve watched what’s happened to the state, and most working people have been priced out.”

Cox’s campaign stop lacked the crowds and pep-rally atmosphere that surrounded Newsom’s campaign bus tour earlier this month when he stopped in contested congressional and legislative districts to energize support for down-ballot Democrats. Cox never asked the workers for their votes, saying instead that he wanted to hear about the problems they face.

Donna Lam, the company’s executive operations manager, said Huy Fong Foods welcomed the Cox campaign to the plant but added that no one should consider it an endorsement by the company or the owner. Huy Fong Foods welcomes candidates from all parties, as well as Boy Scout and Girl Scout troops and church groups, she said.

“David [Tran] is not really political. He’s all about America. Made in America,” Lam said of the owner.

After taking a tour of the plant, Cox told reporters that his 30-stop bus tour will focus on the grave problems facing California, including the rise in poverty, homelessness and cost of living. He blamed those ills on the Democratic politicians who have controlled Sacramento for years.

He also accused Newsom, California’s two-term lieutenant governor and a former San Francisco mayor, of being more focused on criticizing President Trump than tending to the needs of the nearly 40 million people who live in the state.

“My opponent has been part of the problems for the last 16 years. He presided over San Francisco, which is now a cesspool,” Cox said. “He’s been lieutenant governor for eight years and we haven’t heard a peep out of him in relation to the major problems this state has.”

Cox also was quick to say that he’s been rising in the polls, a claim borne out by an opinion survey released Wednesday night. A new poll by the nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California found that, since July, Cox has cut Newsom’s lead in the governor’s race by half — he now trails the Democrat by 12 percentage points.

Obama implores Californians to vote and 'restore some sanity in our politics'

Comrade Obama Slithers Out of His Hole

(CNN) Former President Barack Obama, a day after delivering a stinging critique of President Donald Trump's time in office, had a stark warning for fired-up Democrats in California: This is not rock bottom.

Obama urged the Democrats at his first rally of 2018 to get out and vote in November, telling them that the dismay they feel about Washington right now means nothing is they don't follow through by voicing their displeasure at the ballot box.

"This is a consequential moment in our history. The fact is if we don't step up things can get worse," he said to audible groans from the 750 Democrats in the room on Saturday. "When there is a vacuum in our democracy ... other voices fill the void. But the good news is in two months, we have a chance to restore some sanity in our politics. We have a chance to flip the House of Representatives."

Secret DMV office serves lawmakers, Capitol staffers

A Big Fuck You From Democrats

• The Democrat run legislature has a secret DMV office with no lines for their private use.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (KCRA) —

In California, long lines are a fact of life at Department of Motor Vehicles offices across the state, but for California lawmakers and their legislative staffers, there’s an alternative.

KCRA has learned of a DMV office that is not open to the public.

It’s located inside the Legislative Office Building on N Street, adjacent to the state Capitol.

The office, inside Room 121, has no markings on the door and was locked when KCRA visited it on Thursday, but after knocking, a worker confirmed it was a DMV office and said it’s set up to handle customer complaints that escalate to the legislative branch.

However, having a private office for legislators and their Capitol staff is a source of frustration for Assemblyman Jim Patterson, R-Fresno. His request for an official DMV audit was denied when three Democrats -- Senators Ricardo Lara, of Los Angeles; Ben Allen, of Santa Monica; and Jim Beall, of San Jose -- abstained from voting.

“I've been here six years and I'm not surprised that legislators have given themselves special privileges and perks that typical Californians just don't get,” Patterson said

When asked how constituents might feel about a special office for lawmakers, Lara wasn't too sure about the office's purpose.

“Well, I think it's open to the public, if I recall,” Lara said. “I'm not sure, I haven't used it."

The special office, which has a locked door, is not open to the public.

BORING - Lowest voter turnout since 1980

Voters Sleep Through The "Election"

• With party primaries abolished voter turnout keep dropping.

(OC Register)  -  The 2016 presidential election set records for voter registration and turnout in California, while Tuesday’s primary election had one of the lowest turnouts.

The final turnout figures will not be certified for several weeks and could rise a few percentage points statewide, or as many as 10 points in populous Southern California counties with heated congressional races. You can see updated totals at the California Secretary of State’s portal.

According to opensecrets.org, four of the nation’s 10 most expensive congressional races were in Southern California. Here’s how much was spent and what the results are:

Never Trumper Meg Whitman is backing Democrat Antonio Villaraigosa for Governor

Thank God I Voted Libertarian

• I smelled Meg's bullshit from 100 miles away and voted for the Libertarian Party for Governor in 2010. 
• Shortly after the GOP and Dems joined forces to ban all small political parties and independent candidates from all future general election ballots. My only choice these days is to leave the ballot blank. 

(Breitbart California)  -  Billionaire Meg Whitman, who was the Republican nominee for California governor in 2010 and lost to Jerry Brown, is backing Democrat Antonio Villaraigosa for governor in 2018.

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, “Whitman, the billionaire former eBay CEO who spent $144 million of her own money on her failed run in 2010, is co-hosting a fundraiser Thursday night for Villaraigosa in Silicon Valley.”

A source close to Whitman told the Chronicle, “Meg has endorsed Antonio because, although she is a Republican, she believes he’s the best candidate for the job. Meg believes that Antonio is stronger than (Lt. Gov.) Gavin (Newsom) on both the economy and education, which are both important issues.”

Whitman is endorsing Villaraigosa likely knowing full well that if he places second in the June 5 primary, he and Newsom — a fellow Democrat — will advance to the general election, with no Republican on the ballot.

That, in turn, analysts say, would put the Republican Party at greater risk of losing control of Congress, because fewer Republicans would turn out to vote, and Democrats would benefit in congressional races throughout the state.

In 2016, Whitman emerged as one of the strongest voices against President Donald Trump during his successful bid for the nation’s highest office, contributing financially the “Never Trump” movement against him.

She reportedly compared Trump to the fascist dictators Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini.

Breaking the Democrat Super-Majority in Sacramento

Republican Councilman Justin Mendes is the son of Portuguese dairy farmers. His family started dairying in the 1930s and his father was a 3rd generation dairyman. 

Can the pathetic GOP get its act together?

• The Central Valley is ground zero to blocking the Leftist Democrats from having total control.
• If the GOP rolls over and plays dead again the sky will be the limit for Leftist tax increases.

(Bakersfield Californian)  -  The race between 32nd District Assemblyman Rudy Salas, D-Bakersfield, and Republican Justin Mendes will be decided in November.

But their round-one face off in June will provide a critical clue about whether the Hanford Councilman and political staffer has a chance to unseat the three-term Salas.

A little political education will help here.

In the heavily Democratic 32nd District, which includes all of Kings County and the rural, Latino communities in western Kern County, Republican voters historically head to the polls at a much higher rate then Democrats.

That effect is much more dramatic in gubernatorial election years — like this one — that are scheduled halfway between Presidential elections.

32nd Assembly District
48% Democrat, 26% GOP, 26% independent and small political parties.

The Republican voting advantage is even more pronounced in primary elections like the one coming up in a little more than one month.

In other words, the June 5 primary is the absolute best time for Mendes, a staffer for Republican Congressman David Valadao, to out-poll Salas in a district where Democrats have a 22.5 percent registration advantage over the GOP.

If Mendes can’t do that, then things look bleak for him in November when more Latino and Democratic voters are expected to turn out to the polls.

But Cal State Bakersfield Political Science Professor Mark Martinez said Kings County, Mendes’ home turf, is still the key to the race.

“The battlefield there is going to be Kings County,” he said. “If Rudy can maintain 35 to 40 percent in Kings he should win this thing. He’ll probably have to pull 40 percent.”

That isn’t an easy task for most Kern County Democrats.

Kings County is heavily Republican and its voters are exceptionally active.

Martinez points to a list of Democrats who’ve been “clobbered” in Kings County — and subsequently have lost races in Democratic stronghold districts that mirror nearly all of the 32nd District.

Kern County Supervisor Leticia Perez lost a State Senate election to Republican Andy Vidak in 2013.

Amanda Renteria, running for Congress against Valadao in 2014, got only 23 percent in Kings County

Emilio Huerta lost against Valadao there in 2016 with 29 percent of the vote.

Salas has topped 40 percent in Kings County in every election.

And he’s won each time.

But he hasn’t run against an opponent with roots in King’s County’s ag-powered political family.

Mendes, who worked campaigns for Valadao and, like his boss, is the son of Portugese Dairy farmers, has obviously seen the template for winning.

And he’s developed a classic middle-of-the-road campaign narrative for the Central Valley, giving his support to immigration reform and calling for DACA to be left in place and Dreamers to have a place in the U.S.

“We’re talking about hard-working individuals who work long hours and send money back to their families and pay taxes,” Mendes said. “What gets in the way of immigration reform are the extremes grabbing the microphone. We need the labor here. Unfortunately the sanctuary state law is forcing ICE to look for the bad guys among the good guys.”

He bashed Salas for voting in support of the sanctuary state bill.

And Menedes is calling for red meat Republican changes like reform of the California Environmental Quality Act, cuts to anti-business regulation and construction of more water storage projects.

He’s even issued a critique of the California High Speed Rail project.

“The budget overruns, the lack of oversight. My children (age 1 and 4) will probably never ride it,” Mendes said.

Still, he said, he will be able to operate effectively in the deep blue halls of Democrat-dominated Sacramento by reaching across the aisle.

“They will most likely lose the supermajority (in the Legislature) and they will need somebody to talk to,” Mendes said of Democracts. “I’m not going up there to be hyper-partisan.”

But Salas knows his district and opposes high speed rail, co-authored the 2014 water bond and took a political hit for voting against his party on California’s new road improvement tax.

The tax hits the poor people in the 32nd Assembly harder than it does other people because it snaps up more of their paycheck.

“They’re not always happy with me because I’m a strong, independent voice,” Salas said of his party leadership and Governor Jerry Brown.

There was tremendous pressure to vote for the bill, he said, but he stood his ground.

It cost him a chairmanship seat on a top committee.

“I was punished,” he said. “But I have no regrets.”

Salas acknowledged the challenge from Mendes, but said he’s not focused on his opponent. His focus is on serving the district.

What he’s done, he said, has given him inroads with Republicans in the 32nd District.

“I’ll walk up to a Republican house and they’ll say, “Rudy, you’re the only Democrat we’ll vote for.”

The only stance he’s taken that could cost him with Republicans is his vote for California’s Sanctuary State bill, a decision he said he stands by.

The bill restricts the type of criminals that state law enforcement agencies can transfer to Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials.

But it doesn’t, as Republicans like to claim, stop local law enforcement from transferring people with serious, dangerous convictions to ICE, Salas said.

But the impact of ICE raids to the communities he represents has been significant.

“ICE coming into our communities has stirred up a lot of emotions,” he said.

People are avoiding going out in public and businesses are suffering from the loss of revenue.

But Salas said it is critical to protect the workers who play a major part in California’s robust economy.

Salas said he hopes the voters of the 32nd District will look at his record and return him to office.

“I’ve been a proven, strong, independent voice for the Valley,” he said.

Mendes is hoping voters will look for a new voice to support.

Poll puts Republican John Cox in 2nd place in governor's race

If not for Cox the GOP would simply hand the Governorship to the Democrats

• A new poll puts Republican John Cox of Rancho Santa Fe in second place in the governor’s race.
• If that position holds, he could emerge from the June “top two” primary to face off with a Democrat in the general election.
• A Republican on the ballot could help GOP candidates down-ballot in November.

(San Diego Union Tribune)  -  Republican businessman John Cox has moved into second place in the race for California governor, taking a slight lead over former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, a Democrat, according to a poll released Wednesday evening.

The new standings suggests the likelihood of two Democrats facing each other in November under California’s “top two” runoff system is diminishing.

Cox, from Rancho Santa Fe, has support from 14 percent of likely voters, according to research from the Public Policy Institute of California. That puts him well behind Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, who had 28 percent. Cox is just ahead of Villaraigosa, who polled at 12 percent, down 9 percentage points over the past three months. The top two candidates in the June primary will advance to the general election, regardless of party.

“It corrects the erroneous presumption that many people have seen in the media that it will somehow be two Democrats” in the general election, Cox said by phone on Thursday. “I don’t think that was ever in the cards. That happened in the 2016 Senate race because there was no major Republican who had any major funding whatsoever.”

With nearly seven weeks until vote-by-mail balloting begins, and even longer until the June 5 primary, the poll also found 24 percent of voters don’t know who they’ll support.

Cox has made significant headway in the governor’s race since January, when a PPIC poll showed him with 7 percent support and narrowly behind Assemblyman Travis Allen, R-Huntington Beach, who was polling at 8 percent.

The campaign for second place is now a “coin-toss race.” Of the two Republicans, Cox has money that makes him GOP’s best shot at finishing in the top-two in the primary, said former San Diego Councilman Carl DeMaio, now a conservative talk radio host.

“Nobody knows who Travis Allen is either, but he’s broke,” DeMaio said.

DeMaio and Cox are working together on an effort to repeal a recent increase in the state gas tax to fund transportation projects.

Cox, who made a fortune through a law firm he started and in real estate, put $3 million of his own money into his campaign last year and also raised $518,446 from donors. He said in January he’ll put in at least $1 million more.

Good. Cox is gaining ground, but there is still no GOP candidate for U.S. Senate.

GOP Voter Registration in Collapse

GOP And California

Goes Down The Drain

• Republican voter registration is in free fall. The party is not even running a candidate for U.S. Senate and its highest ranking candidate for Governor get a pitiful 8% in the polls.

(Los Angeles Times)  -  As the June 5 primary election approaches, Democrats still dominate California's voting rolls and the percentage of independent voters continues to rise, according to new figures provided by the secretary of state's office.

Just shy of a quarter of the state's voters now forgo any party label, registering as "no party preference," a slight increase from last year. If the trend continues, as expected, California's pool of independent voters could soon surpass the number of Republicans in the state.

Democrats account for 45% of California's registered voters, giving the party a 19 percentage point advantage over the GOP, the state registration figures show.

The Democratic Party's slice of the electorate in non-presidential election cycles has remained relatively stagnant for two decades, while the Republican Party's registration slipped by 10 percentage points.

The percentage of independents, meanwhile, has more than doubled since 1997.

Paul Mitchell, who runs the data firm Political Data Inc., said California could have more independent voters than Republicans by the November general election.

Voter registration trends for Democrats, while better, are not exactly rosy. Mitchell said more and more millennials, college students, young Latinos and Asian Americans are registering as independents.

"Democrats are celebrating Republicans losing registration. But they should be mourning," Mitchell said. "This new registrant population looks like Democrats but they are registering as independents."

Democrats continue to hold a firm grasp on most of Southern California, though the region has a fair number of Republican pockets.

Democrats dominate the electorate in Los Angeles County — home to 1 out of 5 voters in the state — and hold majorities in Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, Imperial and Ventura counties.

Republicans hold only Orange County, home to four Republican-held congressional districts won by Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election. Democrats hope to wrest most of them from GOP control, a pivotal piece of the party's strategy to win back control of the House in November.

Republicans have a 3-percentage-point advantage over the Democrats in Orange County. Ten years ago, the GOP had a 10-percentage-point advantage.

Here's how they break down by party:

Democratic Party: 44.63%

Republican Party: 25.44%

No Party Preference: 24.95%

American Independent Party: 2.66%

Libertarian Party: 0.74%

Green Party: 0.48%

Peace and Freedom Party: 0.40%
