Gavin Newsom

Last week, the Supreme Court reversed Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that outlawed state anti-abortion laws and federalized an issue that, for all but the last 50 years of our history, was decided by the states. Critics falsely claim that Roe “legalized” abortion, when pre-1973 abortion was legal in the states where a majority of the population resided. It is now falsely…

There’s an old joke about the convicted defendant who, after killing his parents, asked the judge for leniency because, after all, the murderer is now an orphan. A recent editorial in the Los Angeles Times is not quite the same. But it’s close. Here’s the headline: “The Vitriol in Politics Is Driving Good People Out of Public Service.” The editorial laments the decision by a Los…

In “The Hunchback of Notre Dame,” Victor Hugo told the tale of Esmerelda, a gypsy dancer falsely accused of attempted murder, set to be hanged by an unjust state. Quasimodo, the titular hunchback, swings down from the cathedral of Notre Dame and saves her, carrying her off while crying “Sanctuary!” In fact, throughout European history, churches provided places of safe haven for accused…

Despite recently facing a recall election and despite his state suffering from an alarming crime wave, California governor Gavin Newsom was cheered and celebrated while appearing on Wednesday's The View. To make matters worse, the ABC hosts begged him to run for president, and even thanked him for bashing Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis (to deflect criticism away from his own…

ABC finally discovered rampant theft and burglaries plaguing liberal cities like San Francisco, on Monday’s Good Morning America. But ABC wouldn’t mention the city’s radically lax policies that encourage crime and even seemed to suggest these thefts were related to the holiday season. 

On CNN's New Day, co-host John Berman taunted Texas Gov. Greg Abbott for signing an executive order banning vaccine mandates, "severely limiting the freedom of businesses to make their own choices." Does anyone remember Berman, or any CNNer, criticizing CA Gov. Newsom for backing and signing a law ordering big-box stores to create "gender-neutral" toy aisles? 

I want to thank the distributor of my articles, Creators Syndicate, for allowing me to take eight weeks off from writing my weekly column so I could campaign to recall and replace the governor of California. I also want to thank my readers for their patience and willingness to let me pursue that adventure. The recall required 50% plus one of the votes be cast in favor of the recall. To replace…

LOS ANGELES — Forget what you hear most pundits saying about last week’s recall election that failed to unseat California Governor Gavin Newsom. Some Democrats think because Newsom ran on an anti-Trump platform that will bring the party success — or cause them less damage — in the next two elections. They are wrong. The real story is the slow but gaining-in-speed exodus from California to…

As the California recall campaign closed, New Day and other CNN shows ignored news reflecting unfavorably on Democrats while going negative against Republican candidate Larry Elder until the very end.

The media today are cheering how Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom won his recall election, but that's not at all how some media liberals reacted when it was a Republican Governor, Wisconsin's Scott Walker, who won his recall back in 2012. Then, they grumbled about the defeat of a union-backed attempt to remove the conservative, lamenting all the money spent. 

The Monday night before California’s recall election, two of the broadcast networks were solidly backing embattled Governor Gavin Newsom as they downplayed his COVID hypocrisy and tried to stoke fear of Republican front runner and radio host, Larry Elder. But meanwhile, one network saw fit to hold Newsom’s feet to the fire by opposing his smears of recall effort and calling out how Democrats…

Normally if a movie/TV star endorsed a Democrat and made a blockbuster claim about a prominent Republican, journalists and network outlets would be anxious to repeat and promote the claim. But when actor and activist Rose McGowan endorsed Larry Elder and the recall effort against Gavin Newsom, there was a collective media yawn from the networks.  

MSNBC’s The ReidOut host Joy Reid continued the liberal media’s meltdown over the possibility of Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) losing Tuesday’s recall election, warning Friday that Republican candidate Larry Elder would not only bring a far-right vision to California, but he will have exploited recall process with help from “right-wing activists” and “wealthy conservative donors” to infect…

As the recall race in California heads into its final days, the contrast on the ABC and CBS morning shows couldn’t be more stark. ABC’s Good Morning America cheered tired, Democratic hacks coming in to rescue Gavin Newsom as the “cavalry” and the “heaviest hitters” arriving. CBS This Morning, by contrast, hit the “hypocrisy” and “elitism” of Newsom.
