The Gavin Newsom Backlash is Still Building Steam

The only reason that everyone isn't talking about what a terrible week Gavin Newsom is having is that people are too busy talking about what a terrible week Chuck Schumer is having. Still, almost as many Democrats seem irritated and fed up with Newsom as with Schumer. The source of that irritation is Newsom's new podcast where he has so far invited as guests: Charlie Kirk, Michael Savage and Steve Bannon. Michelle Goldberg has an opinion piece about this today. I was open to the idea behind Gavin Newsom’s new podcast, in which the California governor has been breaking out of his political bubble to talk at length with right-wing media stars

Big hairy deal! Any time a Democrat stubs his toe, the groups bestowing peace prizes, etc., put that name at the top of the list. All one has to do is to be listed on a recent book title. Woe is us and our pseudo intellectualism.

Newsom’s biggest problem is that his State is a hot mess. Mismanaged resources, high taxes, huge homeless problem and far left governance that has people fleeing the State. So he said letting men play women’s sports is ‘unfair’. So what? Has he made any moves to change that? No, and he won’t. He has ‘slick, lying politician’ written all over him.

An appeals court on Friday lifted a block on President Donald Trump's executive orders ending federal support for diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs. A panel of three judges ruled the orders can be enforced during a pending lawsuit, reversing a nationwide injunction from U.S. District Judge Adam Abelson in Baltimore, the Associated Press reported. Two of the judges on the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the orders "could raise concerns" about First Amendment rights, but found Abelson's "sweeping block went too far," according to the report.

WASHINGTON - The Trump administration is considering issuing sweeping travel restrictions for the citizens of dozens of countries as part of a new ban, according to sources familiar with the matter and an internal memo seen by Reuters. A U.S. official speaking on the condition of anonymity cautioned there could be changes on the list and that it was yet to be approved by the administration, including U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The memo lists a total of 41 countries divided into three separate groups. Full visa suspension: Afghanistan Cuba Iran Libya North Korea Somalia Sudan Syria Venezuela Yemen

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard announced Friday that she is cracking down on leaks coming from inside the intelligence community to left-wing media organizations. Gabbard declared on X that “politically motivated” leaks by intelligence officials will come to an end and listed several examples of unauthorized leaks to news outlets. “Our nation’s Intelligence Community must be focused on our national security mission. Politically motivated leaks undermine our national security and the trust of the American people, and will not be tolerated,” Gabbard said. “Unfortunately, such leaks have become commonplace with no investigation or accountability. That ends now.

At least five well-known conservatives with large followings on Elon Musk's X social media platform were "swatted" overnight. These attempts by unknowns to get conservatives killed in a hail of law enforcement gunfire appear to be part of an organized effort to affect politics by acts of violence. That is the textbook definition of terrorism, and it appears to be organized. That's dark enough, but things could be worse than that. Add to the swattings the attempted take over of Trump Tower, and in February, an aborted take over the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas, the organized Tesla dealership attacks, and the strange and frightening attacks

For most of the past five years, a whole lot of otherwise seemingly intelligent people insisted Covid-19 was just a really unlucky naturally occurring bat virus that just happened to mutate in a way that made it nearly ideal for infecting human beings, and it coincidentally popped up down the road from an institution that was doing gain-of-function research on coronaviruses found in horseshoe bats in a lab that wasn’t up to the international standards for doing that kind of research. To quote the late Norm Macdonald, “or so the Germans would have us believe.” Actually, it turns out that the German government’s intelligence service

It's rather amazing that anyone thought the Bud Light/Dylan Mulvaney promotional deal was anything but inauthentic - not to mention bone-headed and stupid - but now a former Bud Light executive has spoken up, with some insider's insight into just how hare-brained this whole thing was. “The problem with the Bud Light-Dylan Mulvaney partnership was they just were not an authentic partnership at all,” Anson Frericks told Fox News Digital. “They were catering to a lot of those special interests.” Frericks began his career at Anheuser-Busch in 2011 and was with the company for over a decade. He told Fox News Digital he realized

Vice President JD Vance went to Michigan, a Democrat-run state that the Trump-Vance ticket won in 2024, to speak to workers at a Vantage Plastics manufacturing plant there. Vance praised manufacturing for “generating economic opportunity in this region of our country,” adding, “If we do not protect our nation's manufacturers, we lose a fundamental part of who we are as a people. Making things, building things, working with our hands is America's heritage — and that heritage is alive and well in this facility.” One of the Trump administration’s major stated goals is to bring manufacturing back to America from foreign countries

Tactically, Sen. Schumer is right: Being (justifiably) blamed for a government shutdown wouldn’t help his party. And Democratic strategists like James Carville are also right: There’s nothing to be gained by “winning” the news cycle in the middle of March in an odd-numbered year. It’s smarter to play dead, give the opposition just enough rope to hang themselves, and rejoin the game a few months later to “save the day.” It's like the old saying goes: We can’t miss ya if ya never go away. As a long-term PR strategy, the Democrats would love to create the impression that they really, truly tried to cooperate with President Trump

President Donald Trump on Friday congratulated Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for “doing the right thing” by backing the Republican-led bill to avert a government shutdown, a choice that's put the New York Democrat at odds with many in his party. “A non pass would be a Country destroyer, approval will lead us to new heights," wrote the president Friday morning on Truth Social. "Again, really good and smart move by Senator Schumer,” wrote the president on Truth Social. "Took 'guts' and courage!" Trump added. Schumer is facing an onslaught of criticism from his left flank, with some progressive activists now referring

Democratic Party rising star Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, argued that Americans need illegal immigrants because they do the work that the college-educated in this country won't do. Crockett reportedly made the comments while speaking at the South by Southwest (SXSW) festival on March 8. In a video clip that went viral on Friday, Crockett made the point that Americans don't send their kids to college in the hope that they'll end up picking crops and cleaning hotel rooms, but that's what illegal immigrants do. "How many of you are sending your kids t to college?" Crockett asked the crowd.

A major survey on the religious landscape of America was just released by Pew Research Center, and what it reveals about the decline of Christianity should alarm every American, whether or not one is Christian. ...if America loses the Christian faith from which our system of government is derived, we will lose everything that makes America what it is. All of the rights and freedoms we enjoy, the rule of law, the checks and balances on government power, all of that will disappear. [Snip] The practice of the Christian faith is deteriorating as well.

A key aide to former President Joe Biden may have exceeded their authority by liberally using an autopen to sign official documents, according to two former White House sources, as President Trump’s aides have set up “far more restrictive” rules governing the use of the mechanical device. A document obtained by The Post outlines the narrow set of circumstances in which Trump’s signature can be affixed to documents, following controversy this week kicked off by a Heritage Foundation analysis of Biden signatures on various records, including last-minute pardons. A small group of officials under both Biden and Trump have been delegated the power to get documents “signed” robotically,

Republican Florida Sens. Rick Scott and Ashley Mood introduced a bill on Friday proposing the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) headquarters, currently in Washington, be moved to Florida. Titled Consolidating Aerospace Programs Efficiently at Canaveral (CAPE Canaveral) Act, the legislation would relocate the NASA headquarters to Florida’s Space Coast in Brevard County. The region houses the Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. Scott’s office called Florida “a common sense choice” for the new headquarters. “There’s no better place for NASA’s headquarters than Florida’s Space Coast, where our nation’s brightest minds innovate and help America reach for the stars,” Scott said in a statement.

On “Lunch with Jamie,” Carville pointed to Democrats’ behavior during Trump’s March 4 congressional address, where Texas Democratic Rep. Al Green interrupted the speech and numerous lawmakers held up signs. Carville suggested the party’s approach lacked dignity and was not suited for the moment.

The Internal Revenue Service ordered most of its approximately 20,000 customer service employees back to the office this week, ending a long era of hybrid and remote work. There was just one problem: The IRS didn’t have enough desks to seat them all. And so, many customer service workers learned Sunday that they would not have to return to the office on Monday, after all. The Return to Office (RTO) mandate has been postponed until further notice, union leaders said Wednesday. In the end, the IRS and its employee union evidently agreed that the back-to-office order might lead to long

Democrats are so soft. They're been throwing fits for the past ten years over President Donald Trump, and they've ramped up the mania since he got back into office. But it looks like some of them just can't take it anymore. MSNBC made Rachel Maddow commit to being on five days a week for the first 100 days of Trump's term, when she had perviously had only been doing once a week. But host Lawrence O'Donnell said to her that he hadn't made the same commitment, and he was "exhausted" already. "I know you've pledged to cover and be here for the first hundred days of the Trump presidency," he said.
