I think that at least Gavin Newsom’s career is over…sure, he’s still a golden boy of the Democrat party and thus has full protection from the MSM…but if he runs in the 2028 primaries, then Josh Shapiro is just going to run the fire on a loop in his ads and that will be that. And if it is determined that his continued existence is bad, then the Democrat Powers That Be will put out the political hit on him just as the did on Biden after the debate. Side note, the 2028 Dem primary is likely to be brutal…nobody is really in charge over there and there is no obvious successor to Biden. We’ll probably have a vigorous primary, ourselves, but it really comes down to Vance or DeSantis – who are both highly intelligent, good men who will do the right thing.
I am advised this is real, not a parody:
The trouble with the Left these days is that it is harder and harder to make fun of them because whatever exaggerated nonsense you want to say for the joke is quickly overtaken by Leftwing reality. So, even if this isn’t real, it will be next week.
This kinda passed under the radar – Romania had a Presidential election back on November 24th. Their system is that everyone can pretty much leap into the race and among the candidates if nobody gets 50% +1, the two highest vote totals go to a runoff. Fine and dandy, right? There were six major candidates so it was pretty much a given that nobody was getting to 50% and, sure enough, the two highest votes were for Elena Lasconi at 19.2 percent and Calin Georgescu at 23 percent. The second round was due to happen on December 8th and, from what I’ve read, Georgescu was going to win fairly easily. But there was a problem. You see, Georgescu was the wrong guy.
I can’t tell you just how horrific it is to have The Wrong Guy win. I mean, how are we to Protect Our Democracy if The Wrong Guy gets in? Look at what happened here in the USA when we let The Wrong Guy win!!!
So, what makes him The Wrong Guy? Sifting through it all, he’s considered a far-right extremist because…he wants a strong Romanian military and doesn’t want to fight Russia. Other than that, lots of things are said about him but as I don’t read Romanian, I’m not going to call the reports credible…knowing how our own MSM lies all the time about everything, I can’t rely on them to tell me the truth about The Wrong Guy. Maybe he is a nut and a bad guy…but if so he’s a Romanian nut and bad guy and my view is that if the people of Romania (who seem as sane as any other people in the world) want to vote for a nut and bad guy, that’s their business. The global Ruling Class saw it differently – and they managed to get the Romanian Supreme Court to annul the November vote. To protect Democracy, you see? Apparently no actual reason was given by the Court for the annulment but it is darkly hinted that Russian disinformation caused Romanians to vote for Putin’s Puppet, Georgescu. The vote is now rescheduled for May and, as you probably guessed, Georgescu is being criminally investigated by the government which had its term willy-nilly extended to preside over the re-do which will make sure The Wrong Guy doesn’t come in first.
This is very much what they tried to do in the USA and only thanks to our Constitution was it (barely) prevented. Make no mistake about it – the Global Ruling Class does not propose to let the people vote the Ruling Class out of power. They’re already saying that what they did in Romania they’ll do in Germany if the Krauts vote for The Wrong Guy.
It is now my view that we must withdraw from NATO – there is nothing left in Europe to defend and, indeed, a strong case can be made that a Russian conquest of Europe would make it freer than it currently is.

HOW WELL-INTENTIONED POLICIES FUELED L. A.’S FIRES
Reminds me of an old saying………
And now Gavin is saying he’s waiving all the Coastal Commission and South Coast Air Quality Management regulations regarding rebuilding. Now, I don’t expect this to last – either Gavin will rescind the waiver after the spotlight is off or he’ll settle Lefty lawsuits that demand the regs remain in place…in either case, the hoops shall remain.
But here’s the thing – either these regs are vital, or they aren’t. If they aren’t vital, why have them? If they are vital, how can you waive them? The whole Leftwing fraud is exposed in these California fires…all we need is a GOP that can capitalize on it.
California has had wild fires forever, but I’m sensing a difference this time, bordering on biblical.
…Gavin is saying he’s waiving all the Coastal Commission and South Coast Air Quality Management regulations regarding rebuilding….
So are they merely “regulations” put in place by an agency, or actual legislated law? If they are legislated, I don’t see how they can be “waived” but if they are merely regulations put in place by an agency then it is time to go after the agency itself, and then the system that puts so much power in the hands of unelected political appointees, who are usually the ones who run the agencies and make the decisions. In other words, California sounds like the Mini-Me of the federal government.
If the GOP has any sense at all (time out here for snickers) it will rush a whole muscular narrative tying the problems not just to the current rules, etc. but to the entire system, California’s own Deep State swamp Push really hard on the concept that this kind of oppression is what you get when you take the power away from the people and put it in the hands of elites who then try to run everyone’s lives.
the city’s fire commissioners—a five-person board appointed by Bass I will bet that nearly all, if not all, “commission” in California consists of political appointees. Deep State California
But there is no bottom, not for them.
I realize this is a bit of hyperbole, much like the phrase “bottomless pit,” but I’d refer you to Stein’s Law (if something can’t continue forever, it won’t). California will eventually hit, maybe not the absolute bottom where recovery isn’t possible, but they will reach a point where they can’t economically continue the path they’re on.
I’ve been thinking the same thing, though I haven’t taken the time to organize a general feeling into actual organized thought. That’s OK—Jeff Childers does a great job.
He leads up to this conclusion with this analysis:
I know it goes against the grain to thank Joe Biden, his handlers and the leaders of the American Left, but they all did us a great favor. Instead of us having to try to convince the nation of the fatal flaws in their system and their people, they did it for us. The job isn’t finished, but they did a great job of getting it started.
A lot of truth there.
Yep.
There are two ways to govern: Royal and Republic. Rulers or Rules. Our problem is that we have neither right now…neither God’s anointed using tact and flexibility to secure justice, nor rules which bind everyone equally. We’re under an anarchy of money and sexual degeneracy.
I heard this guy interviewed on Rogan, and that was an even better outline of his process but this is worth paying attention.

He’s becoming a voter registration master.
Pennsylvania is the next Florida.
New Jersey is the next Pennsylvania.
What I found so interesting in his interview was how much emphasis he placed on keeping his efforts under wraps. I think that is important—not just to have a strategy, but to keep it quiet and not brag about it.
Great article here and a precursor of things to come in the next few years. I think there is a huge cultural shift going on as people realize the Democrat Left is incompetent and soul crushing. In other words, people are waking up and realizing that no, climate change is not an existential threat, violent white supremacy really doesn’t exist, and the agenda media does in fact lie. Now is the time to stop talking about the Democrat party and start talking about unifying common sense Americans in the goal of restoring this great country

Exactly. And that underlying common sense has to be emphasized as rejection of collectivism and the consolidation of power in the hands of a few. We need to start emphasizing the fact that we, a raw and rowdy young nation looked down on by the “civilized” nations of the world, leapfrogged to lead the entire world in productivity, quality of life and, of course, liberty. And we did it by rejecting the entire concept of a Central Authority—in our case, the English monarchy—-and running this new country on the principles of restricted federal power and keeping most authority close to the people, in the states and local governments.
We need to start encouraging people to look beyond party identity and personal identity to the core structure of government any candidate represents, and reject those who represent a return to what is almost another monarchy, in its rule by elites and top-down government based on consolidation of power at the top.
It’s not like we don’t have plenty of examples. The vaxx mandate is the most glaring example of wannabe kingship this nation has ever seen, where a single man dictated that citizens must inject themselves with an experimental drug (which he then directed the Treasury to pay for) to keep their jobs, their military positions, and their ability to travel freely. Many if not most of the rules and regulations that control our lives were imposed by elites, not voted on by the citizenry. Did this man’s party receive millions of votes even when the candidate said she would not have done anything different because millions of Americans want to be ruled instead of governed? No, they did it because they voted for the party.
There is nothing inherently wrong with the two-party system, but there is something terribly wrong with blindly voting for any candidate of a party just because of his party identity. It’s time to step away from that kind of knee-jerk voting to thoughtful voting for the kind of government we want, not just for Identity.
How’s this for a biblical picture?
If I recall correctly, Amazona has long called for showing an effort to work with those who are not aligned with a right-side mindset. I suspect in part because we’ve all times bought into a lie and later realized the mistake, however big or small. That’s in large part the power of the Holy Spirit. So yes, I do believe we are in biblical times. In every recent apparition of our Blessed Mother, she has continuously emphasized that time is short. For many who were disillusioned when over the course of time things appeared to continually get worse, that’s often when God steps in. How many of us truly believed that if Harris was declared the winner of the recent election we would be in a long downward spiral that would take generations to climb out of? I’ve no idea what lies ahead but know God is with us. In the days ahead I suspect there will be many unmistakable examples of His hand at play. The first assignation attempt is certainly on of those instances. This nation is great because of 2 things. First, it has long been a nation of respect and reverence to God. Though that has certainly deteriorated, I sense a longing for many people to return to God and find hope where it can not be found elsewhere. Second, America has been a nation strong in its willingness to help others less fortunate. Though that can sometimes backfire, the efforts of good willed people typically win the hearts of those seeking compassion when they feel lost. The left has shown itself to be a vessel of anger and hate. The people who’ve followed them for so long are disillusioned & lost, stuck in a quagmire they don’t know how to escape. God is the only answer and it is our responsibility to help them get there. Prayer is more powerful than most realize.
About 20 years ago I had to spend a lot of time driving on the 4th of July so I heard most of the three hour Hugh Hewitt show, and that day he had a guest who spent the entire time going through, in detail, the many ways the hand of God could be seen in the birth of this new nation. It was the most inspiring and moving and educational three hours I ever spent listening to anyone lecture on anything.
At the end, this scholar talked about how a close friendship developed between the two political rivals, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, and their extensive communication over the years as they exchanged hundreds of letters. I had not known this, or that they died on the same day, within hours of each other, on the 50th anniversary of the nation they founded, on July 4, 1826.
That night, sitting on the deck with my husband watching the fireworks over the lake, I was so powerfully moved by the day’s reminder of the divine interventions that made this country possible that I was in tears most of the night.
I wrote to Hugh Hewitt, asking him to make this lecture available on tape (remember, this was 20 years ago) and he said he had had many such requests but was involved in some other projects and it would be too time consuming. I still wish he would make this available. I am sure someone would volunteer to do the technical work necessary to edit and record it, and I still think it would be inspiring and an important source of information.
