Under Pressure From Voters, Newsom Walks Back His Plan to Spend $50 Million of Taxpayer Money to Sue Trump for... Whatever

From Ed Morrissey: Even California Democrats have had their fill of Gavin Antoinette's "Let Them Eat Ideology" theory of governance.

From the Sacramento Bee:

California legislators were tight-lipped about their decision Thursday to delay votes on a pair of bills that would provide up to $50 million combined for the state Department of Justice and organizations that provide legal services to respond to actions taken by the administration of President Donald Trump.

The Assembly was set to take up the bills after they were approved last week in the Senate. But Democrats were called into a closed door meeting shortly after their work for the day began.

When they emerged roughly an hour later, the measures were not voted on before the body adjourned for the week.


From Politico:

But the decision also comes amid concerns about who would be able to access $25 million in legal aid to avoid deportation. Democrats -- newly sensitive to perceptions of being soft on crime -- this week faced criticism from Republicans who noted that the legislation doesn't explicitly prohibit nonprofits from using the money to help undocumented immigrants with criminal histories.

Los Angeles Democrats are so angry at incompetent ideologues engineering yet another city-clearing wildfire that they're considering the unthinkable, John Sexton reports.

From the California Globe:

According to a new poll released over the weekend, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass' approval rating of her wildfire response reached a new low of only 37%, with a whopping 43% of likely voters in the city now saying that they would consider Republican leadership instead.

Since January 7th, Bass has received scorching criticism for her handling of the wildfire emergency, leading many to call for her resignation. Amongst Bass' many criticisms tied to the fires includes her cutting $17.5 million from the LAFD in the 2024-2025 city budget, deciding to travel abroad in January despite knowing that a major emergency could happen with high speed winds being expected, giving a minimal response to the fires on the first day, refusing to answer press questions, having promised to never travel abroad as Mayor yet doing it anyway, and showing an overall general mismanagement of the fires once she returned to L.A.

John Phillips at the Daily News writes that Los Angeles Democrats are so angry that the usual Democrat Party tactic of partisan key-jangles aren't working.

Los Angeles is a Democrat-run city, with a Democrat mayor, not a single Republican on the City Council, and a dominant Democrat Party that decides which candidates get the official blessing and which ones get cast out to the wilderness.

LA's version of ideological diversity is a healthy mix of left-wingers, far-left nut jobs, and Nithya Raman.

This lopsided political arrangement means that it doesn't matter how incompetently the local officials responded to the fires that ravaged the city, because there are never any consequences for Democrats from city voters.

No water in the reservoir? That's global warming.

Forgot to tell the fire department that there's no water in the reservoir? File that under, "Global warming is worse than you think."

Cut the fire department's budget? That's different. You can blame that on climate change.

Texted all the wrong people to evacuate? Repeatedly. Um, has anyone mentioned global warming?

And once you've gone down the list, everything else is Donald Trump's fault.

We good here? Everybody good? Okay, that's lunch!

Sure, none of it makes any sense, but for a highly partisan audience like LA voters, it was always good enough.

Except now, that might be changing.

A new poll says that voters significantly disapprove of Mayor Karen Bass' job performance on wildfire response.

According to a new survey of likely Los Angeles city voters conducted by pollster David Wolfson on behalf of the consulting firm Madison McQueen, 54 percent of Angelenos disapprove of how Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is handling the wildfires in Los Angeles, compared to 37 percent who approve.

If the 2026 election for Los Angeles mayor were held today, Bass would lose to her 2022 challenger, real estate developer Rick Caruso by 7 points, with Caruso sitting on 43 percent and Bass with 36 percent.

Also, if the election were held today, Bass would probably be attending a presidential inauguration in Africa.

Even 43 percent of voters said they would now consider Republican leadership in LA county and/or the city of Los Angeles.

Karen Bass' performance during the fires was so pathetic that highly partisan Democrats are starting to look for alternatives.

Bonus question: Is New Jersey in play?

Answer: New Jersey is in play.

Of the 1,000 registered voters Emerson surveyed, 48 percent viewed President Trump favorably, besting Mr. Murphy's [the current Branch Covidian Democrat governor] 44 percent. Mr. Trump's unfavorable tally was 46 percent versus 42 percent for the governor. Given the poll's three-point margin of error, only the president could claim statistically significant approval.

Mr. Trump is already focusing on New Jersey, issuing an executive order halting wind farms off its coast. A pet project of Mr. Murphy, they're unpopular along the Jersey Shore, plagued with problems, and a priority for just 24 percent in the state according to a Stockton University poll in October.

Owner of a golf club at Bedminster, New Jersey, Mr. Trump has improved his showing in the state each time he's run. He lost by 16 percent in 2016, 14 percent in 2020, and just under six percent last year, when he grew his support in all 11 counties.
Mr. Trump came closer to winning New Jersey than any GOP candidate since President George H. W. Bush, who lost by 2.4 points in 1992's three-way race. New Jersey last went Republican, for Bush, in 1988. Previewing his reelection loss, Democrats claimed the governorship the following year.

...

New Jersey Democrats enjoyed a one-million voter edge over Republicans when Mr. Biden took office, but that advantage has dropped below 900,000. The New Jersey Globe's editor-in-chief, David Wildstein, reported earlier this month that the state has gained 184,026 Republicans since January 2021 against just nine new Democrats.

This election is in November.

The difference between 2024 and 2022 was leadership at the RNC.

No longer were spending priorities around floral arrangements but winning elections.

And Republicans saw the best presidential election result in 20 years.

Michael Whatley organized that result last year. He's still in charge, and he was saying in December that they're focused on the future for election reform and winning.

Concentrating forces in VA and NJ in November of 2025 should be interesting to watch.

Also, keep in mind that something like 25% of California's population is foreign born. So they're probably used to incompetence and corruption from government.

Promising, but unfortunately, Trump's popularity and success hasn't seemed to transfer to the party at large. Possibly because so much of the GOPe resisted him. This time feels different, though, so maybe the GOP will turn the corner, dump the RINOs, and get things done? Maybe?

82 "But the decision also comes amid concerns about who would be able to access $25 million in legal aid to avoid deportation. Democrats -- newly sensitive to perceptions of being soft on crime -- this week faced criticism from Republicans who noted that the legislation doesn't explicitly prohibit nonprofits from using the money to help undocumented immigrants with criminal histories."

Welp, the Equitable Answer is: Rapist illegal alien gang members from Venezuela deserve the same deportation legal aid as an illegal alien abuela who ran a red light during an ICE sweep. Both possess a Spark of Humanity™. According to leading Democrats such as Gavin's relative, Nancy Pelosi.

I imagine fundraising right now is in the absolute toilet.

Small dollar donors, genuine ones, have probably stopped.
Big dollar donors are probably holding back because they need to see signs of potential winning in the future.
Big dollar laundering through ActBlue is probably at a standstill for the reason above and because legal action is putting a magnifying glass on it.

And...the administration is attacking the fed to NGO pipeline that's a major source of Dem donations as well.

The Dem Party is probably starving right now. I expect it's REALLY bad at the state level.

157 I have a house in NJ. It's overall more conservative than you think.

The problem is there are millions of votes to harvest and fraud up in heavily-populated, leftwing areas like Newark and Jersey City. That's probably 800k votes for the Democrap right there.

And the state GOP is a sad joke.

But NJ could -- could -- be flipped red with FL- and Ohio-style voter integrity measures, and some Scott Presler-ish voter-drive magic.

162 Rose Pak Asian Democratic club drops out of S.F. Democratic Party

"The Rose Pak Democratic Club, one of the city’s most prominent progressive Asian political organizations, today announced that it has decided not to recharter with the San Francisco Democratic Party, saying the Democratic brand has become toxic to local Asian voters./b]

Meanwhile, Donald Trump gained significant ground with the same voters by “speaking to fears around public safety, economic stability, stagnant wages, and the rising cost of living — issues where the Democratic Party has fallen short.”

164 Other cities and towns may not have wildfires but if local leaders are mewling about doing their part to fine-tune the weather a hundred years from now they are useless. Worse than useless.

All of that woke shit is just shorthand for “luxury beliefs”. All of it. The first duty of local government are big ticket items like Police and Fire.

Progressives do everything backwards, their priorities are wrong. Disaster, if not intended per se, is inevitable. Their main skill has long been pointing fingers, blaming someone else for their policy failures. This works for a little while.

It don’t work no more. Inertia and fumes remaining in the tank only getcha so far. Remember when the Obie administration lackeys were putting out communique that sounded all down with the struggle and fighting against the man. Like they weren’t at the pinnacle of power and influence.

California is funny, they talk the lib stuff for years but they can go rogue when provoked. Prop 13 property tax law is such a thing. The government was playing games with the taxes and the people put a stop to it and voted down any rule that affected it for 35 years.

At the same time, they'd fall for any kittens and puppy proposition and ignore the effect it might have ... for instance the diversion of water north away from SoCal which reduced fire fighting stores.

167 soaring eagle screams approval*
Posted by: Army Pilot Examination

Not the eagle at my house!
I have lived on or near (within quarter of a mile) this hill my whole life. Today was the very first time I have ever seen an American bald eagle in this area.
Sitting in the recliner, I glanced out the window in time to see an eagle flying at about 20 ft above my lawn. Right across the front yard and over the road. It went a short distance and landed in a tree. I grabbed the binoculars and holy shit! There were two of them in that tree right next to each other. The one I had seen flying lifted off and came back across my yard and landed in the bean field about 100 ft from my front porch. Stayed there for a minute or so and then lifted off and flew across my yard again, headed south this time (toward the back off the house) with something dead and bloody hanging from its beak.
Coolest thing I have ever seen happen in my airspace!

172 NOW - U.S. House Minority Hakeem Jeffries calls for "fighting" against Trump's agenda "in the streets."

Perhaps an overcorrection, as the Left was just attacking him for being weak: (edit DUer deleted his post attacking Jeffries as weak based on this tweet, which they took as "surrender)

@RepJeffries
Presidents come and Presidents go.
Through it all.
God is still on the throne.

I think his comment was weak and inappropriate. That said, everyone not everyone believes the concept of "gawd" to be nonsense.

It's not reassuring to think only a sky fairy can save us.

The quote is much worse than that. It says, nothing in our government really matters because it will all be settled in the afterlife.

That is 100% unacceptable, no matter what you believe about the supernatural. Jeffries job is to lead the House in opposition to this existential threat. If he thinks it is acceptable to just wait until we all die and have a personal meeting with God who will explain how this was all his will, working in mysterious ways, then Jeffries should resign his post right this instant.

227 As a former resident of SoCal, I can assure you Largemouth Bass will remain as mayor, Altadena and Palisades will remain wastelands for some considerable time, until billionaire real estate developer friends of Bass and the LA City Council buy enough land from distressed homeowners. Then they will get the land rezoned from R1 to R1/R3, and erect high-rise luxury apartments in the Palisades and Section 8 housing in Altadena. Meanwhile, California will do nothing about watersheds, raise utility rates through the roof, and homeowners will end up on the FAIR plan, being unable to obtain insurance. Living in CA will become even more unaffordable, and in response CA voters will vote D. The voting mechanism there is fully under D control, not that the voters there would ever consider voting anything but D anyway. Perhaps the most foolish state out of the 57.

271 Our strategy of the past few years has been Abandon The Cities To Their Inevitable Blue Fate. Course correction?
Posted by: gp Steps On Cusp
----------

I never tire of pointing this out because it is vital to understanding the problem.

It is a chicken and egg problem. Democrats did not cause the destruction of cities, they are the product of it.

Cites used to depend on industry as a tax base. They had to be livable and industry (owner, workers) voted for people who kept it so.

Then the Great Migration happened after the Great Society and cities became dependent on Federally redistributed money as their tax base. Now it was Gov., government services (education, ...), legal and finance, retail, .... but the ultimate source of all cash was from redistribution. So those people started running things. (The non-productive class. Democrats.)

This was accelerated with all the Federal bailouts (after 9/11, 2008, covid, obama, biden, Green nude ell.) but the problem is that these cities are welfare based societies.

Even the recent inner-city Trumpism is at least partially driven by minorities worried that illegals are getting more handouts than they are!

I do wonder when the last time Republicans were considered cool was.

The 80s? Maybe? I dunno, but Reagan, actor, tearing down the Berlin Wall with his bare teeth (pretty sure, I'd have to look it up) must have meant something.

Call it what you like, funds for "low-income housing" will always find their way into the pockets of developers in LA, whether federal, state or municipal funds. There's no more corrupt city council than the LA council, and they have been in bed with developers for decades. Again, the corruption doesn't even require money so much as favors, approvals, rubber-stamping permits. Watch over the next year or two. You will see high-rise high density buildings erected in the burn areas where none existed before.

_____________

Make sure in the event of a future wildfire to have increased the population density of Pacific Palisades so even more lives would be in jeopardy.

382 Re: the buyout date of September 30 for federal workers

That's the end of the government fiscal year. The payroll money is already allocated int he budget, which as we know from discussion of impoundment is... difficult... to NOT spend. So the money has to be spent on payroll anyway. Using it to buy them out simply means that they won't be back-filled and starting Oct 1, that job is simply GONE.

385 Incredible! This blog looks exactly like my old one! It's on a totally
different subject but it has pretty much the same page layout and design. Great
choice of colors!

386 Interesting blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere?
A design like yours with a few simple adjustements would really make my blog jump
out. Please let me know where you got your design. With thanks
