Gavin Newsom Directs $19 Million in California Taxpayer Money to Madison Avenue to Improve California's Reputation -- Just as Gavin Newsom Is Running for President and Personally Needs California's Image to be Remade

Wow, a Democrat taking taxpayer money for his own personal benefit.

I gotta tell you guys, I did not see this one coming. It just snuck up on me.

Gov. Gavin Newsom is hoping to to boost California's tarnished image on the national stage -- so he's throwing millions in taxpayer money at a high-powered New York public relations firm to do it for him.
The governor's Office of Business and Economic Development awarded PR powerhouse Edelman a contract worth up to $19 million to burnish the Golden State's reputation, KCRA reported.
Edelman -- which also does work on behalf of mega-companies like Dove, Starbucks, eBay and Heineken -- will be tasked with combating "negative narratives amplified online and in partisan media" about California while promoting the state's economy and tourism.
...
The contract begins on April 6 and will run through then end of the year, which nearly coincides with end of the governor's term in early 2027.

Oh you mean January 2027, as the official primary season begins in earnest. How convenient.

The state agency previously told the outlet that the campaign wouldn't be about Newsom himself, but California.
"The campaign will tell the California story, not the Gavin Newsom story," the agency said. "The effort is about California's success, not about politics."

Uh-huh. You're just rebutting "partisan narratives" but not for any partisan purpose. Sure.

A Newsom spokesperson previously told the Los Angeles Times that California's business climatehas been "falsely and maliciously maligned for years," and that the "state has a right to tell the true story."

Weird that he didn't want to tell this "true story" in years when he wasn't running for president. People and businesses have been fleeing California for six years, you know.

...
News of the contract drew ample criticism.
"Gavin Newsom is giving 19 million California taxpayer dollars to a New York PR firm to promote California in a better light to the nation. Which does not at all sound like Gavin Newsom is making a presidential campaign ad for himself," Kevin Dalton, who ran for the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, wrote on X.

"Californians aren't being asked, they're being billed," added Republican congressional candidate Christine Bish.

Speaking of California politicians raiding the public fisc for their own benefit and to pay off their donors: Gavin Newsom's Obama-Biden boondoggle to spend tens of billions of dollars on a "high speed train" from LA to San Francisco -- when that route is well-serviced by planes and, well, a nice car ride if you have half a day to spare -- that even 60 Minutes noticed.

🚨BREAKING: 60 Minutes just aired Gavin Newsom's high speed rail being EXPOSED as the "QUINTESSENTIAL EXAMPLE of government waste and mismanagement."

"There are no trains. There's no track laid. It's a complete bait and switch."

Gavin Newsom isn't even the biggest bimbo in this post.

Gavin Newsom's grifter woke wife is a real See You Next Cunt.

Jennifer Siebel Newsom is the very avatar of Democrat Woman.
Haughty, hectoring and pleased with herself, she is single-handedly wrecking her henpecked husband Gavin's lofty political ambitions.
No wonder he's taken to moping around and crying at press conferences.
As the California governor's presidential aspirations head south and his state's woes become impossible to ignore, he's tried in vain to reset his ailing brand -- and now his 51-year-old actress-turned-activist wife is taking over.
Over the weekend, she inserted herself into the news again with an Instagram video pontificating that the departure of Pam Bondi and Kristi Noem from President Trump's cabinet is proof that the commander-in-chief is waging a "war on all women."
"I need to call out that it's no surprise to me that the first two prominent people pushed out of this administration were women," she opined in a mint green jacket, with her long, blond tresses cascading fetchingly over one shoulder.
As she enunciated every bad word she could think of for Trump's "sexism and misogyny," she bizarrely smiled: "Devalued" -- smile. "Degraded" -- smile. "Diminished" -- smile.
"No woman is safe in Trump's Republican Party." Smile, smile, smile.
The title she posted on the screen was: "Some thoughts on the patriarchy."
Mrs. Newsom has "thoughts" -- and boy, does she want you to hear them.
Her assertiveness was on full display a few weeks ago when she elbowed her husband away from the podium and took over his press conference to scold the assembled reporters for not being sufficiently admiring of some abortion funding announcement the governor had just made.
"We just find it incredulous that we have Planned Parenthood here, and women are 51% of the population," she said. "And the majority of the questions -- all of these questions -- have really been about other issues. So, it's just fascinating."
She was greeted by "incredulous" silence.
Not only had she publicly emasculated the governor with the sort of first-spouse effrontery we haven't seen since Hillary Clinton entered the White House, but she showed herself to be incapable of using basic English.
Maybe she thinks "incredulous" is an intellectual version of "incredible."

She's just an absolute deranged woke warrior. She just made news by declaring, proudly, she's taking all the steps necessary to trans her sons.

Jennifer Siebel Newsom, wife of California Governor Gavin Newsom, said she actively works to challenge gender norms with her sons, telling an interviewer:
"I've given our boys dolls... if I'm reading a book and the protagonist is a male, I just change the he to a she."

This link to Jesse Kelly contains a montage of her many ultrawoke preachings.

This one's incredible: Apparently she killed her own sister by running her over with... a golf cart. Nepo baby bitch.

But she tells prisoners that she understands their plight because she, too, killed someone "by accident" and she's very sure that's what all the people in prison did too.

Libs keep asking Grok if these videos are real and recent. Grok keeps telling them they are.

Don't forget, she's also stealing taxpayer money, diverted to her by her husband and his cronies, to push DEI and transgenderism to California schoolchildren.

36 I don't have any sisters, only brothers. So I could be wrong about this.

I question her running over her older sister in a golf cart as an accident. Oopsie!

I mean, I catapulted my younger brother up five stairs into a door at the landing with a loud thud after a battle over the remote control. By using both hands on his behind. I did this on purpose and got into more trouble (it was worth it). This crime was pretty hard to deny and I've never been a liar. However, this didn't kill him and he fake cried to get me into more trouble.

If I were Candace Owens I would open an investigation about this golf cart "mistake."

I also feel sure NYC is worried about his PR when people are crapping and having sex on their sidewalks under Mayor Mondingo.Which should encourage tourism.

This woman should get the same press but she won't. Because killing your older sister with a golf cart is no big deal with liberals.

She wasn't three years old, she was six. I was smarter than that at six and would know not to hijack a golf cart to go anywhere, much less back over my sister.

I had enough sense at 6yrs old to walk home from elementary school and cross streets, one busy. Granted only once alone for being kept after school and I was pretty freaked out, but I did it.

To compare this "accident" to heaven knows the crimes of men she was talking to is absurd.

She might as well have said she popped a zit and it was as tramatizing as a gunshot and sucking chest wound.

171 From Fox News:

Gavin Newsom's in-laws fled from California to Florida during the pandemic, records show. Fox News Digital previously learned the Siebel family trust made a donation to a Ron DeSantis PAC

EXCLUSIVE: Not only did the in-laws of Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom give money to one of his biggest political foes; they fled from his state during the pandemic.

Kenneth F. Siebel Jr. and Judith A. Siebel, parents of Newsom's wife Jennifer Siebel and longtime California residents, became Florida residents in 2020 after purchasing a $3.3 million Naples home in March of that year, records show. The Siebels appear to still have ownership of their California home in northern San Francisco suburb of Ross.

Newsom's in-laws, however, officially became registered voters in the Sunshine State as of June 2020. Kenneth Siebel is a registered Republican while Judith Siebel has no party affiliation.

US Declaration of Independence...

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government,

Note the last line... Right AND DUTY...

The U.S. has never been particularly good at occupation, especially in the modern era after Japan and Germany.

If the Iranians do it themselves with a little help and support from us it stands a good chance of sticking as opposed to something forced from the outside.

212 "People and businesses have been fleeing Cacafornia".

Yeah, including us. We bought a delightful house in the suburbs of Sacramento in 1984. Great place. Nice state, nice city, nice people - until about 2015 or so, when the business climate got worse, and the politics got worse, and the conditions of the roads got LOTS worse. Finally, in 2019, my wife was watching something on TV and Navin Gruesome said that he was going to send sheriff's deputies door to door to collect all the guns. She turned to me and said "We need to get out of California!".

This, from a woman who had spent her ENTIRE LIFE in CA, other than 3 years in the Philippines when I was in the Navy. It was a good time to go; I was over 69, and our house was paid off, so I retired from my job, we put our house on the market, she started researching places in Texas.

Then Covid happened, so we hunkered down as we did internet research. She found a delightful house on the distant outskirts of San Antonio, bought it sight-unseen (you can do AMAZING THINGS with Google Maps, Zillow, and a great local realtor) packed up the guns and cats and essentials into a 27ft RV, and drove 6 days to Texas. And here we are!

241 >> The Immortals were an elite military unit of the Achaemenid Empire, consisting of 10,000 heavy infantry who served as both the emperor's personal guard and a key part of the standing army. Their name comes from the practice of immediately replacing any member who was killed or incapacitated, maintaining their number and giving the impression of being invincible.

249 Candace Popeye reporting:

The accident was DAYS before her 7th birthday. In Hawaii. Many children playing around golf carts (who knows where the parents were?).

She did not know that Sissy was "hiding" behind the golf cart she reversed and murder she rode.

I realize with a normal person not married to a scumbag I would have more sympathy. Did she tell this story in 2023 to "get ahead" of it?

I know I don't often tell of hurling my brother up a stairwell in the event I am suddenly famous. For starters only his pride was hurt. Also, too bad in the war of siblings for survival.

Seven years old, Miz Newscumbag. Days before 7yrs is more telling than six years and little pig tails of oopsie.

285 Read of her weeping jag in trial of Fat Weinstein.

The usual story of his white bathrobe of hotel horror. She went to the hotel room, "thinking others would be there." Right. Sure.

As he masterbated pete she pretended to orgasm. Sure.

I would have found a knife or other weapon and there would be blood all over his hotel robe, the walls, the balcony. And he'd forevermore pee like a girl.

Then she dated Clooney, who we know is a faggot. I guess a ritual of being a beard. He and Julia Robert's ugly husband are rumored to be more than friends.

Common sense says there is no way of Newscum's successs, with the abject failure of California. Yet we've seen Obungo and Kamkook, so I guess it's possible.

291 The Democrat Party apparatus is completely, 1000% captured by the rabid Left. No candidate is different from any other. Their voters will pretend to believe any candidate they're given will be great - no matter what.

2028 will completely come down to turnout by GOP voters. That's it, that's all she wrote, and the Party's choice of candidate affects literally nothing.

Nobody should waste any time on which candidate is more beatable, because the answer is nobody. They shouldn't waste any thinking about which would be the worst threat as President, because the answer is all of them.

And whoever the GOP candidate is shouldn't bother running against them or their records, because none of their voters give a rat's ass about the fact that they're all malevolent retards and perverts, and absolutely no revelation will suppress their turnout.

All they should worry about is jacking up their own base and their own moderates with a positive message, because their voters actually do care about that stuff. Forget the Democrats.
