Larry Elder & CA Governor Race
- CA Gov. Gavin Newsom is panicked…blaming white supremacy for the recall—
when Larry Elder is leading the alternative candidates—falls flat
- Dems now deploying the standard leftist gambit of ‘lawfare’:
- Use the courts when you fear the will of the people
- Lawsuit filed to have recall process declared unconstitutional – allegedly violates one person, one vote…but the recall process is long-established and has been used…
difficult to overturn, but leftist pressure on judge will be enormous
Larger reality of CA – Not as pure ‘blue’ as portrayed; socially liberal but broader concerns:
- Rising crime; overrun border; rising homelessness, rising gas prices, unreliable grid, heavy-handed covid restrictions ‘for thee, but not for me’
Californians appear to have had enough of Gavin Newsom, and for good reasons

- China openly mocking US forces; warning Taiwan that US defense promises are worthless
- Two embassies still open in Kabul: China and Russia

- Million$ of US military equipment left behind
- Pelosi statement offers complete idiocy – Taliban better make sure women represented in govt
- Afghan refugees already being flown to US; historically the least ‘assimilative’ of all groups
- Anecdotes of savagery and brutality by Taliban against those who aided US are proliferating
- Chiefs Chair Milley and SecDef Austin nowhere to be seen
The nagging, deeply disturbing question: is this really a Biden mistake?
Biden is unquestionably compromised by China
