America’s Most Corrupt Governor
By Kevin Kiley – June 10, 2924 I have called Gavin Newsom America’s most corrupt governor, a title he’s richly earned many times over. Yet he’s just proven it’s always possible to sink lower. Newsom and the Supermajority have concocted a shocking scheme to undermine the initiative to End Prop. 47. In an unprecedented move,…

A Historic Debacle
By Kevin Kiley – May 30, 2023 Earlier this year Newsom “postponed” his State of the State address. We’re nearing June and it hasn’t been rescheduled. The most publicity-seeking Governor in the country is turning down a major platform – not to mention ignoring a constitutional requirement – because he can’t defend his disastrous record.…

Ridicule, Resignation, Reform
By Kevin Kiley – May 25, 2024 “No one cares for Gavin, even the Democrats. Behind closed doors they all roll their eyes.” This, in the words of Gov. Chris Sununu, is the esteem in which our governor is held by his fellow governors. It’s one reason we were able to swiftly burst his presidential trial balloon.…

Could Get Worse
By Kevin Kiley – May 17, 2024 Politico reports Kamala Harris has told friends she will return to California to run for Governor if Biden loses. This might be the only possible way our state’s political leadership could get worse. As if to preserve his title as the bigger disaster, Newsom just declared his homelessness policy a…

There Is No Bottom
By Kevin Kiley – May 14, 2024 There’s once again a lot of chatter about the Democrats replacing Biden. The problem is their backup option, Gavin Newsom, completely flamed out once people got a glimpse of what he’s done to our state. The latest example: we’ve gone from a $98 billion “surplus” to a $73…

Insanity and Ineptitude
By Kevin Kiley – May 9, 2024 It’s true. The state is raising the gas tax again. It will now be 60 cents per gallon. And this was just part of a dizzying week of insanity and ineptitude in California: I took to the House Floor to call on Newsom and the Legislature to stop the gas tax…

Chaos on Campus
By Kevin Kiley – May 2, 2024 Last week, I was at the Supreme Court to give California communities back the ability to clear tent encampments from parks and sidewalks. It looks promising. But in a sadly ironic twist, an even more disturbing type of encampment soon thereafter spread like wildfire. Universities have allowed outside…

Newsom’s Bubble Bursts
By Kevin Kiley – April 26, 2024 The Newsom presidential bubble has burst. We’ve exposed the disaster he’s made of California, and the national party wants nothing to do with him. The unofficial eulogy for the campaign-that-never-was just appeared in the Wall Street Journal under the headline, “What Ever Happened to Gavin Newsom?” The sub-headline: “He…

A Path Back to Sanity
By Kevin Kiley – April 18, 2024 We just passed the anniversary of one of the most infamous days in California history. Four years ago, Gavin Newsom celebrated the arrival of COVID-19 as an “opportunity” for a “new progressive era.” Marking the occasion, we held a Judiciary Committee hearing on the constitutional abuses of the…

Full Panic Mode
By Kevin Kiley – April 8, 2024 I’ve just returned from Israel, where I met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, visited the harrowing sites of the Hamas terrorist massacre, had a heartbreaking meeting with the parents of a hostage, went to the Gaza envelope and the Lebanon/Syria borders, and much more. Yet even while I…
