Gavin Newsom: The State Will Tax the Enemies of the Democrat Party at a 100% Rate to Save Democracy
Seizing the estates of political enemies. Sounds very democracy-savey.
He says they will change California law to seize 100% of recompense paid to Californians from the weaponization fund for Biden Regime abuses. Well, I'll tell you, I've been sick of liberal state governments paying out jackpot awards to Antifa and BLM "protesters" who beat cops and get arrested in return. The Democrat Party is using taxpayer funds to pay its terrorist street militias to beat up cops and menace citizens. So it's time for the federal government to impose a 100% tax on payouts to "protesters," especially those of Antifa, BLM, the John Brown Rifle Club, etc. Tit for tat. If you want to go full Civil War -- We're your huckleberry. You'd be a daisy if you'd oblige us.BREAKING: California will impose a 100% tax on payments distributed from Trump’s Jan. 6th “slush fund.” pic.twitter.com/IIfPUQrbuc
— Governor Newsom Press Office (@GovPressOffice) May 27, 2026
The🐰FOOFrom Comrade Arthur. At least California will put the estates it seizes from political enemies of The Party to good and prudent use.
@PolitiBunny This feels like Democrats punishing citizens because they’re mad at Trump. How does something like this improve the lives of Californians?
California Teaches Native Americans How to Light a FireAs Luke Skywalker said: "NOOOO! That can't be! That's IMPOSSIBLE!"
The state has approved funding for "food sovereignty," owl counting, and "cultural burns." California Governor Gavin Newsom has allocated millions of dollars to a program that funds Native American "food sovereignty," owl counting, and "cultural burns," in which tribal groups use traditional fire techniques to clear brush from the landscape and preserve their "close kinship" with plants, animals, and "other natural relatives." Since 2023, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, or CAL FIRE, has awarded $24 million to tribal groups and other nonprofits as part of its "Tribal Wildfire Resilience" program. The man effectively overseeing the program, Natural Resources Secretary Wade Crowfoot, believes that California was founded on a "state-sanctioned policy of genocide" and that the state has pursued "decades of land dispossession, discrimination, and disconnection." The Newsom administration, he said, was making progress in returning the land to the "leadership of California Native American tribes." As part of this commitment to "cultural burning," California has created separate fire-certification processes for nontribal and tribal populations. White, black, Latino, and Asian fire bosses must receive technical certifications, including a 40-hour burn-boss course and, in some cases, a federal certificate. "Cultural fire practitioners," by contrast, are certified through simple tribal recognition that a person has "substantial experience" burning for cultural purposes. The "cultural burns" themselves follow various rituals. Some begin with drumming, sage burning, and a prayer. Attendees sometimes go around in a circle, introducing themselves to the land. In the words of Ron Goode, chief of the North Fork Mono Tribe, the land listens to the incantations, and the intention is "to make sure that everything on the landscape--Mother Earth, Creator, everybody--understands why we're there and what we're there for." Then the burning begins. One tribal member uses a traditional elderberry fire stick instead of a modern lighter. Some use dry branches and cottonwood bundles as kindling. In the words of one tribal chief, "Fire gives life to the land, and everyone benefits from this living spirit." While some of the "resiliency" funding has gone toward what appear to be legitimate fire-management projects, a careful examination of the state grant information reveals that much of the program operates as a slush fund for the tribes.
In recent years, CalFire has awarded grants that have dubious fire-management benefits: $1 million for a grant that will help a tribe provide "forest-themed ingredients" to tribe-owned restaurants; $599,000 for another to help renovate land for use as a Native American summer camp; $166,000 to one that will pay for "[t]ribal staff and members" to observe spotted owl nests; $746,000 to one supporting a tribe's "food sovereignty" and "Fire-Centered Climate Action Plan"; and $521,000 to one that will help a tribe maintain "close kinship" with plants, animals, and "other natural relatives such as water and fire."Read the whole thing. Oh, and Gavin Newsom is also looting taxpayer money to build solar panels for welfare cases living in publicly-subsidized housing. Except they're building as many solar panels as miles of "high speed rail." While spending all the money they looted to build these Luxury Homeless Solar Panels, they've only built 10% of the already-overpriced units they perjured themselves in claiming they would build.
Inside Gavin Newsom's Solar Scam California advocates wanted to provide solar panels to 1 million low-income housing residents. After ten years, the state is more than 900,000 short of that goal.Maybe the federal government should slap a 100% tax on California's payouts to different voting blocs whose votes it's buying.
Governor Gavin Newsom has dismissed fossil fuels as "alternative energy," and wants to power California with, among other things, the sun. Through extensive mandates and extra energy costs for non-solar consumers, the Newsom administration has directed billions to building solar energy capacity. The centerpiece of this initiative is the Solar on Multifamily Affordable Housing (SOMAH) program. SOMAH began under Governor Jerry Brown, who signed legislation requiring a state commission to apportion up to $100 million a year from California's cap-and-trade program to pay for the installation of solar panels on apartment buildings in poor areas. Since then, California has devoted nearly $900 million to SOMAH, which the state hoped would create 300 megawatts of power by 2030 and advocates envisioned would create a million solar-using renters. The results have been disastrous. Since 2015, the program has installed or reserved only 129 megawatts of solar power for approximately 65,600 residents--nowhere close to the target of 1 million "solar renters." What happened? First, incompetence. For a decade, businesses and utilities have been forced to buy emissions credits, and while the state has lavished nearly $900 million on SOMAH, administrators designed the program so poorly that they have paid out only $131 million for solar installation. As the program's largest contractor admitted in a draft audit, potential customers were turned off by the paperwork, bureaucracy, and red tape. "Initially, we found housing owners excited about the program," the contractor said, "but after a long and laborious process, they are much less enthusiastic." That is an understatement. From the beginning, the SOMAH program has been plagued by delays and cancellations. More than 400 applications have wound up cancelled or withdrawn, or about a third of the total. On average, projects take three and a half years to make it through the program's gauntlet of paperwork and inspections. ...
CEJA uses aggressive language to support its apparent goal of banning oil. "What's at stake is our very survival," its then-executive director said in 2021. "We must make the transition to 100 percent clean energy and bring all communities along to avoid a devastating climate apartheid."
... The other main beneficiary of the SOMAH program is a San Francisco-based corporation called Sunrun Inc., which bills itself as the country's largest solar provider and has been the contractor for 78 percent of all SOMAH projects. The company has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to political candidates--including $50,000 to Gavin Newsom's campaigns--and has employed an army of lobbyists in Sacramento. Newsom, in turn, has packed his administration with former Sunrun employees. The governor appointed the company's public policy manager to the California Energy Commission and appointed its former chief policy officer to a regional water quality control board. In recent years, Sunrun representatives have met with government regulators' offices to discuss SOMAH, including last December, when the company supported efforts to expand the program. SOMAH and Sunrun did not respond to requests for comment.

Democrats are running more than double digits behind where they were in 2022 in terms of returning ballots in 2026.
Newsom's jungle primary win almost exactly matches up with the percentage of ballots returned by Democrats a few weeks before the final day of the primary (54% vs. 55% actual).
Now...they're only at 42%.

Trump should just say, "fine, the deal is off. Pay me the $10 billion. I will set up a private compensation fund. There will be zero oversight or transparency. I'll name the fucking thing "The Fund to Defeat Democrats and Ruin Their Lives" and there won't be shit you can do about it."
And let's not forget--this was the only hill in 50 years the Senate Republicans chose to die on:
Making sure no J6 got paid.

At best it funnels that slush fund back into state coffers where it might do some good. At worst it makes all the J6 traitors flee blue states so they don't have to give up their bribe money. Sounds like a win-win to me.
Republicans have gone way beyond being ‘soft on crime’ and are just flat out rewarding it at every turn - as long as it’s their tribe.
They're attacking the Southern Poverty Law Center for "funding" terrorist groups like the KKK and Proud Boys, when In they were infiltrating them in order to expose them. Those groups are literally Trump's Base.
They should actually tax them more than 100%. They may have been pardoned for their crimes, but you can still make them pay. Make it 200% in taxes.
Gavin is not perfect but goddamn is he a breath of fresh air sometimes. As long as the left looks for a perfect candidate they will keep losing. This is the energy we need, with the election in just over two years!

WA State just passed a shiny new "Millionaire's Tax" that also added business tax hikes, sales tax expansions, etc. It's a 9.9% flat tax on taxable income above one million.
The camel's nose is in the tent. The rich will flee. The tax won't produce the income to government they predict. They'll lower the threshold.
I need to get out of this craphole. My biggest impediment to leaving is my wife's job. She's got her dream job. It's a teaching position that doesn't open up.
Usually, when a teacher gets this job, they will stay until they retire. You have to be positioned just right and have the luck of the gods to get it. Additionally, conservative states like Utah and Idaho pay 2/3 to 1/2 of what she earns. So she'd take a pay cut and likely wouldn't get the same position.

You'd have to have an IQ of a Somali to believe anything about elections in blue states at this point. I know a lot of conservatives have a sexual longing for this sort of virtue signaling, but the elections are all fake and gay and everyone knows it.

This is the exact opposite of what they said when they abolished the SAT/ACT requirement. There is no other option than that they were lying then or now. Chance that they'll address why they lied? zero.point.zero
Yale fully reinstates its pre-pandemic SAT/ACT requirement in admissions.

This is a stunt. The Supremacy Clause of the Constitution will shut down this pipe dream pretty quickly. In fact, I think this issue is previously addressed in an 1819 Supreme Court case McCulloch v. Maryland, the Supremacy Clause bars states from taxing or controlling the operations of the federal government. The "Weaponization Fund" was established within the DOJ. By levying a 100% tax, California is effectively destroying the financial relief mechanism created by the federal DOJ.

California Governor Gavin Newsom has allocated millions of dollars to a program that funds Native American "food sovereignty," owl counting, and "cultural burns," in which tribal groups use traditional fire techniques to clear brush from the landscape and preserve their "close kinship" with plants, animals, and "other natural relatives."
I hear that Owl Counting is illegal in Indian Casinos and cultural burns doesn't apply to tax-exempt cigarettes purchased on the Reservations.

BTW, the "long time listener, first time caller" plants sprouting up against Paxton on X are hilarious.

Half are, "I'm a super Christian, so perfected that I feel Jesus Himself has already set my table in Heaven--and Talarico is the most Christian of Christians that ever was a Christian since Christ walked the Earth. We must all vote for most Christian of Christians like Christian Talarico"
The other half are, "hello fellow conservatives. I am most conservative of conservative. My Bible never leaves my sight for Jesus is my light. My strongly conservative and Christian cannot allow me the choice and we good conservative Christians must not vote for Paxton or Talarico. It is Bible written words for good Christians to not choose evil men of evil."

It's just odd how any input just auto-corrupts and merges into the sludge in these people's heads.
A fund for people pursuing a redress to wrongful prosecution becomes "bribe money for J6", simply because some of the people it could go to would be J6-ers claiming prosecutorial abuse.

The Ivanpah power facility in the Mojave is a perfect example of Cali energy policies. It is very expensive , it doesn't produce as much energy as they thought it would and it kills birds. The company that runs it was going to close it and let PG+E and SoCal Energy out of their contracts.
Unfortunately the Cali utilities commission said no you can't close because we can't replace the energy Ivanpah produces. So even though it's expensive and inefficient, keep going

I buy that that is the proper analysis.
I just increasingly doubt whether the people who should care will care.
And it's a support for a case alleging prosecutorial abuse. It's not like it goes to the plaintiff. And the only result would be a decision that they were prosecuted wrong, or no, they were prosecuted correctly.
They just don't like the idea that trespassers on a lawn can't have a Scarlet A burned into them if they want that type of punishment for people who disagreed with them on politics, and have a possibility, through a legal redress to expunge the offense from their record.
These people are sick, sick, puppies.

A fund for people pursuing a redress to wrongful prosecution becomes "bribe money for J6", simply because some of the people it could go to would be J6-ers claiming prosecutorial abuse.
Posted by: Axeman at May 28, 2026 01:51 PM (Fi81e)
J6ers must be punished, they are proof that the Progs and the corrupt establishment are moral and good.
Any questioning of this, like admitting there were abuses on innocents by the established courts and legislatures, will push the need to investigate who did what corrupt act, and who profited.

87 They act as if native Americans are somehow different than other people; they they've got a spiritual connection to the universe that other races lack. They're saying there are different races with different abilities. I'm not sure that's a position they've thought through.
Races being different is fine as long as whitey is inferior.

Exactly. That's why no one here can carry knives...except Sikhs who stab young white men, and brown people who stab everybody.

> I'm a super Christian, so perfected that I feel Jesus Himself has already set my table in Heaven--and Talarico is the most Christian of Christians that ever was a Christian since Christ walked the Earth. We must all vote for most Christian of Christians like Christian Talarico
Twitter is full of Talarico's awful biblical takes.
EG: Talarico says the Bible justifies abortion. How you ask? When Gabriel appeared to Mary, he "asked the Virgin Mary for her consent before she conceived Jesus." He doesn't flesh out the argument, but apparently aborting a baby is denying consent, and that's OK, because Mary was given the choice whether to consent or not.
Talarico also says God is non-binary, and if you disagree, take it up with Paul.

Not surprising. The entire EU is fascist.
The government decides whatever the government decides to decide.
Thus, the time-honored vote of feet is suddenly disallowed. Why? Because you can no longer choose your own jurisdiction if they don't like your choice.
What's scary is both California and New York have expressed a desire to have such a power.

Don't forget the "Central Park Five" of the 1989 Central Park Jogger case. All confessed, individually, with the same story, and with their legal guardians present. DNA evidence convicted them.
But wait! Here comes homeless rapist who also took part, now getting a deal from the Manhattan DA only IF he'll testify that he was the only attacker.
And now here comes the execrable, zero-talent DEI cunt "filmmaker" Anna Duvernay to make a Netflix movie, a total fantasy that convicts Evil Whitey for framing them.
Presto-changeo the five "youths" are released and made millionaires by a financial settlement with the city. One of the pieces of shit is now serving on the NYC Council.

AB 259 (2024 Proposal): Would have imposed a 0.4% annual exit tax on net worth exceeding $30 million ($15 million for married filing separately) for up to 10 years after leaving California.

In fact Luke 1:31:
"And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus."
I'm having trouble seeing where people are reading into that the idea that Mary had any choice in the matter.

Modern governance has no regard for personal discretion.
Letting people get lost in their own passions keeps more noses out of government and stands in for "personal discretion" (i.e., the discretion against any type of discretion). Thus scientific states champion "hedonistic choice", but if you build any sway, you have to join or be destroyed.

Perfect candidate for impeachment by Congress.
Her sins are completely unrelated to politics. It's obvious abuse of power and abuse of her office.
However, she's black and appointed by Biden, so it's still going to be perceived as political no matter what.
Still, I think this is an impeachment worth trying. Even if it fails, she's a nobody, one of a hundred like her at that level of the judiciary, and her increased prominence and "absolution" won't make a huge difference overall.

I tend to believe she did have a choice, but I don't see how that justifies abortion. Mary's choice (assuming for argument's sake she had a choice) was PRE CONCEPTION. Talarico's argument would make more sense if Gabriel had told Mary, "You've already got a bun in the oven, is that OK?"

I'm shocked they would admit this publicly. Wouldn't it be astonishing if next time they admitted IQ correlates very well with educational and financial success?
That's adjacent to admitting that Somalis have the IQ of a fruit basket.

The three terms of Obama -- and you could say the 3.5 terms of Obama since he sabotaged a substantial portion of Trump's first term-- have weakened America to the point that a hack clown like Newscum can be competitive in the run for POTUS.

“These test scores are strong predictors of a student’s future Yale academic performance, and there is evidence that they are less subject to bias than other elements of an application.”

Yes, but aren't they strong predictors of how well students will do within a systemically racist system?
How can you say that without making sure that Yale is no longer "systemically racist"?
In short: Yale has reclaimed its racism.

I've been arguing that the right needs to start looking at economic policy as a weapon since the left has been doing this for a long time - sort of like gerrymandering.
Trump is doing some of this with the USAID cuts and the like, but this is what economic policy should be overall with where we are.
The goal is to take as much from Dems and give it to R leaning voter groups. Now, that honestly can be paying down the deficit since right leaning groups are more harmed by high inflation.
But why not start taxing NGOs? Extra taxes for highly paid state workers? Onerous taxes on business offshoring and so on

@241 If Iran still controls the Strait that would be a shitty outcome.

If you're tempted to say something dumb like "but buh buh diss iz muh hoooome," get it out of your head. It's not. It belongs to them now.
Don't be caught standing there with your dick in your hand when they throw the switch.

Good luck with this. I've been barking up this tree on the HQ for the last few years and I'm met with nothing but "muh job" or "muh family."

Did y'all see Rubio announced we have deportation agreements with 20 countries? So if you're an illegal from El Salvador, you have the choice to go back home, or get deported by the US to Haiti or some other crap-hole. Given that choice, many elect to go home.

I doubt this is done.
Iran's leadership is too fractured, and they haven't suffered enough through the blockade.
Still, if it's done and the US gets what it wants, well. huzzah.
All I know is that anything that happens is a failure because Trump didn't nuke Tehran which makes it all a TACO.

Well the people who turned down the last few deals have recently turned up dead, so lets see if the new IGRC has any fresh perspectives. Also heard the army was fighting the IGRC here or there - the 'loyalist' ones , not the putative Western backed ones who may or may not exist to any degree.
The fixation of the press on the games in the straits means Israel and Lebanon have a pretty free hand wiping out Iran forces in Gaza and South Lebanon, so that's nice.

Oh, hay
Per some rando on Twitter:
Russ Vought at OMB has just overhauled $1 TRILLION in federal grants by adding: Strict E-Verify requirements, English-language rules, and political appointee oversight to ensure taxpayer dollars go to American citizens first.
Vought’s new proposal replaces automatic payouts with “pay for performance” standards. Grants can now be terminated for waste, fraud, underperformance, or pushing anti-American priorities like DEI, gender ideology, or Green New Scam programs

Keep it simple: just a 100% Federal tax on all State of California payments, regardless of type or recipient -- including foreign, out-of-state, or even tax-exempt. And all they have to do to end it is stop their tax policy warfare on Federal programs they don't like.

Newsom is ever more desperate because it is increasingly clear that the Democrat nomination in 2028 is going to Kamala. And that also guarantees he will not be on the ticket in any way. He will continue to disintegrate into a sad real life imitation of a third-rate Randall Flagg.
