Gavin Newsom, CA governor

money was invented for handing to women, but buying dances is a chump's game
This guy makes my blood boil. First time I ever felt moved to call Michael Krazny's KQED radio show was the first time I heard Newsom's voice. I wanted to call in just to tell Newsom off.
This was back when he was a San Francisco Supervisor.
Today, in his anti-recall campaign, Newsom is being shameless.

More than anyone else he has promoted COVID Hysteria, a campaign of psychological warfare. Now his Anti-Recall campaign is just shameless fear mongering.
I get his stuff in email. It always starts out "Republicans are trying to get me out."
Well we have a two party system, what else would you expect.
So it is "Republicans are trying to get me out. Please send me money."
What he does not understand is that he has always been extremely offensive to Democrats.
He used to be married to a Far Right Republican."

Newsom seems to be a guy who follows orders from the Democratic Party National Leadership. They could tell him to resign.

Gavin should be serving a prison term. He waged a campaign of psychological warfare, with his gaslighting and grandstanding, against 40 million people.
I do not know if he will beat the recal. But that kind of a person is completely unacceptable.

Gavin has always been unacceptable as a Democrat.
To get elected Mayor of San Francisco he had to outspend his Green Party opponent Matt Gonzalez by 11 to 1. And his support has always come from Business Interests. Newsom is a crypto Republican.
It is an ugly situation.
And no one else has ever run so singularly on COVID hysteria.

THis is bullshit data, designed to create hysteria. What is important is the hospital capacity still left, not the vaccination rates.
Here:
https://web.fha.org/news/newsarticledisp…
They seem to be using up their space, so they need surge beds, overflow capacity. This will pass. The virus stops when it runs out of people.
It has been bad enough to have Gavin Newsom here, other states do not need such persons of their own.

Sure, they need to be prepared, surge wards and supplies.
But the idea that masking and the vaccine somehow makes you "safe" or is "protecting people" is total idiocy.
SJG
Masks and the vaccine are better than nothing but are a push by the private sector ....profits before people
The same thing is being done now with the masking and the vaccine.

He could have resigned when the serious criticism and the recall campaign first started. I objected to him when he was first San Francisco Supervisor.
At this point I say, campaigning on COVID, we have to get him out!

I did not want his seat to go to a Republican. But he really irritates me. I really just wanted him to resign. I still want him to resign.
The only thing partisan about the recall is that we have a two party system.
SJG
And the testing, all that did was measure the degree of superstitious irrational fear which Gavin was able to induce.
The cure for COVID is sleep, not standing in line to get tested.
SJG
How does sleep cure it?
Sleep is the cure for all of these. Sleep gives your immune system a chance to tailor its response, and then attack and eradicate it.
Then quickly you will become untransmissible, and then you will have natural immunity, which is much better than immunity from the vaccine.

Often I can catch the flu starting and go right to bed, and then end up with less time off of work than those who wait until the flu forces them to bed.
COVID is not a threat to public health because it is not a chronic condition. Diabetes, high blood pressure, and obesity, these are threats to public health because they are chronic conditions.
And you have to have a min of 1% mortality rate per year, or otherwise that would mean that the average life expectancy is exceeding 100 years. We know that this is not true.
So we have to have at least 3.5 million deaths per year annually, and at least 10,000 deaths per day.
For Santa Clara County it is 20,000 per year and 50 per day.
COVID has made only some very small additions to these numbers.
If we went to Universal Health Care, that would have a much bigger effect than all the precautions and the vaccine combined
SJG
Spreading misconceptions like that endangers people
And sleep is the cure for COVID, it is the ONLY CURE FOR COVID.
This is just common sense. The sooner you take to bed, the sooner you will be better.

This stuff looks like Frank Jordan’s Martix Plan, from when former police chief Frank Jordan got elected mayor of San Francisco. His Matrix was just more cops, criminalizing homelessness.
And then when Newsom got elected mayor his first act was an initiative Care Not Cash, making it so that the homeless were not eligible to receive the full GA allotment.
Now he seems to want to do what Trump called for, setting up internment camps. And it will be driven by his Mental Health Courts and forced psychiatric procedures.

And then after the recall at it again, trying force school children to be needled with that mRNA immuno short circuit. That so called vaccine probably should not even be on the market, and it was totally unnecessary, and all just to try and embarrass Ron DeSantis.
And now, his Psychiatric Internment Camps. Gavin has got to go!

But just like everything else Gavin talks about, it is all grandstanding. The state stuff does not overrule federal stuff. There is no federal law against abortion and there never will be. We already have something like Roe V. Wade in our state law. This was signed into law in 1969 by Governor Ronald Reagan.

I opposed the Gray Davis recall and I stayed silent during the recall against Gavin because I did not want their seats to go to Republicans. I wanted Gavin to just resign and let the Lt. Governor take over.
The recall attempt did silence him, but only for a while.
Gavin is a neo-liberal. This is a repackaging of the old social darwinism and of the Nazi Party doctrines.
He is not a progressive and he is not a leftist.

That is what Gavin thinks. We have a two party system, so what would you expect. But Gavin infuriates people, not just those who did not vote for him.
In 2018 and with the 2020 recall Gavin had an easier time of it because of Anti-Trump anger.
But it still took Obama, Biden, Harris, and Elizabeth Warren to help him keep his seat. And we knew he had to make a US Senate appointment and he might need to make another.
But Gavin is a total turkey!

Gavin was one of the point men for using COVID hysteria to embarrass Donald Trump, and to prevent rational discussion about Universal Health Care and to prevent the Democratic Party for going for Bernie Sanders.
When Gavin first ran for Mayor San Francisco, he outspent his Green Party opponent Matt Gonzalez 11 to 1. But it was still a close election. The Business Community just decided that they had to have him. So he does what they want.
Usually he targets the unhoused and sex workers.

I don't think those who did not finish in the top 2 can continue running. Not sure if they could even run as write in candidates.
**********************************
So looking at the CA 6/7 Primary results, Gavin came out the highest, followed the leading Republican challenger, Brian Dahle. Dahle is a credible candidate, but he has no chance.
Michael Shellenberger got 4%, and not in run off. So ballot wise he is not a factor. So Gavin is pretty much guaranteed to win. I have never said that it would be possible to stop him from being re-elected, or that that was ever my objective.
Even though I was infuriated day after day by Gavin and his COVID response, I stayed silent in the recall because the Governor will still have many appointments to make, and Gavin does make good appointments because he knows how to follow orders. I would not want his seat to go to a Republican, and recall elections draw a different kind of voter than do regular elections.
What I want is for Gavin to resign, as there will be another recall campaign if he does not.
Lt. Governor Eleni Kounalakis (D incumbent and a Newsom appointee) is clearly going to win the election, and that is just fine with me.
Human Rights Watch’s Opposition to CARE Court (SB 1338)
Letter to California State Assembly Judiciary Committee
https://www.hrw.org/news/2022/06/14/huma…
I strongly disagree with Michael Shellenberger’s book, but it still makes for fascinating reading. It gets back into the history, like Gavin’s Care Not Cash initiative, making it so the homeless could no longer receive the full GA allotment.
And it gets back to Dan White’s assassination of Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk. And Shellenberger ties it to a progressive take over, which is not how I have ever seen it.
I can see now that the homeless are the biggest issue in CA’s politics, and a lot of that is because of the COVID response and economic crash, unhousing a lot more people. The real danger in COVID was in the hysteria and superstitious fear that was being released. And Gavin was saying that he was going to do “targeted testing into marginalized population groups.” That COVID hysteria would be used against marginalized groups was always the greatest risk. In 2020 that did not happen. But it is happening now in targeting those who got hit the worst in the COVID economic crash, the poorest of the poor, the homeless. And again, Gavin is being part of the problem!
And Shellenberger’s main thing is to make it into a mental health issue. And it is groups like the ACLU and Human Rights Watch which are the most adamantly against this. And then Gavin is really trying to carry out Shellenberger’s plan, though just presenting it in a softer way.
There is a huge amount of public support for this idea of mental health, and for involuntary treatment, and against the homeless. And Gavin is definitely part of the problem.

Gloria, like most of the other backers of Care Courts such as Umberg, Eggman, and Steinberg, is one who had a family member whom they put into the mental health system. They fault the mental health system and the law for it not being coercive enough.

One man had earned a living by being a stage hand.
"
Among the residents who have been relocated to housing is Ron McGowan. He was a stagehand almost his entire life, and it was paying the rent, until COVID.
“During the pandemic we were the first ones to get hit,” he told KPIX. “A lot of other industries could pivot. You could not pivot as a stagehand.”
He took the money he had and put his belongings in storage. With nowhere else to go, he ended up at Wood Street.
“On and off for two years,” he said of his time in the encampment. “It has definitely been traumatic over there.”
"
Well Gavin's COVID Hysteria hit those who lived with the most itinerant employment the hardest. And so there was a huge surge in the homeless population. And this really hasn't come back down, and it isn't going to either. It is a permanent change.
And then Gavin's AB-5 destroyed the Gig Economy, so a lot of people who had earned their living that way were out of luck.
