Newsom’s Lasting Defeat
By Kevin Kiley – November 2, 2024 As Joe Biden was calling half the country “garbage,” Gavin Newsom called three quarters of our state “lazy.” Specifically, Newsom just called Prop. 36 a “very lazy response” to the crime problem – even though 73 percent of Californians support it. One might argue Newsom’s response – doing…

The California Turnaround

Meant to Fly
By Kevin Kiley – September 26, 2024 Newsom has vetoed a bipartisan bill to hold him accountable for homelessness spending.

Newsom Confronts Reality
By Kevin Kiley – September 20, 2024 Some incredible news: the Public Policy Institute of California just released a new poll, and Prop. 36 has a commanding 71-26 lead. Even two-thirds of Democrats support it. This is the initiative we qualified for the ballot to end the Prop. 47 disaster. Newsom, of course, is fighting…

A Newsom Gaffe-Fest
By Kevin Kiley – August 23, 2024 Last night, Kamala Harris was on and off the stage in a near-record 37 minutes. The brevity and absence of substance was in keeping with the campaign’s theme: no primaries, no votes, no questions, no interviews. But inside the supposedly “joyful” Convention Hall, one person was stewing: Gavin…
