Newsom Suggests Inflation Is a Conservative Lie
[Townhall] Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA.) is suggesting that inflation— fueled by President Joe Biden’s Leftist policies— is a lie pushed by conservatives.

This week, Newsom claimed inflation plaguing Americans this holiday season is propaganda and nothing more than a fabrication being pushed by Republicans.

"Things you won’t see on Fox News today," Newsom posted on social media. "Prices for Thanksgiving are down — from Turkey to air travel."

The Democrat’s post included a chart showing price changes in items. According to data from the Labor Department, prices for peas, milk, stuffing, pie crusts, turkey, and cranberries have dropped from last year.

#1  "No inflation here! Food in California has always been expensive."

#2  "From last year" doesn't count. How about from 2020?

#3  I never shop in California and have no plans to change my shopping habits.

#4  Newsome suggests he doesn't understand basic economics.

#5  ^ Show me a politician who actually does.
Posted by: M. Murcek || 11/27/2023 9:13 Comments || Top||

#6  I think Newsom understands basic economics. He is betting that most people don’t have enough knowledge to prevent him from being held accountable for lying. He is counting on the media to help him out.

#7  To Marie Antionett's, Pelosi's, nephew, it is. They have zero grasp on the realities of life.

#8  My bank account would disagree.
Posted by: Chris || 11/27/2023 10:56 Comments || Top||

#9  #6, We get hardly any news from our local TV station, it's mostly the "happy" kind of news and the reading of press releases from various organizations and businesses, never any hard news from city hall or Sacramento. The TV is really only good for sports and weather. I don't even bother to look at the San Diego Union-Tribune anymore. Investigative journalism is dead. In San Diego, you might never have heard about the fire under the I-10 overpass in LA. So, yes. The media helps Newsom by their refusal to report actual news.

#3, As for shopping in California, you aren't missing much especially if you want to buy anything that isn't Made in China.

#10  Brazen, calculated deceit for the propaganda media by the most loathsome, feculant, plastic politician ever to curse the Golden State.
Posted by: NoMoreBS || 11/27/2023 12:15 Comments || Top||

#11  #9 Yep - it reminds me of the news one would see characters in sitcoms watching. Fake news for fake humans. Then there's the commercial breaks where 50& of the "commercials" are actually PSAs about "no hate". Some of those PSAs even list their constituencies, which then also tells you who their targets are.

#13  What does he care, so long as the laundry gets done.

#14  Newsome has never had a "real" job what with at least 5 families helping him along. That is his "weakness" ....no personal experience with life in general.

Trump alleges 'cheating' in Wisconsin redistricting case: 'Republicans must do something'
[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] Former President Donald Trump
...The man who was so stupid he beat fourteen professional politicians, a former tech CEO, and a brain surgeon for the Republican nomination in 2016, then beat The Smartest Woman in the World in the general election...
responded to the Wisconsin State Supreme Court hearing oral arguments in a case that would upend the state’s election maps.

Wisconsin’s state legislature’s district maps are considered by many Democrats to be the most aggressively gerrymandered in the country. They were first drawn in 2011 under former Republican Gov. Scott Walker. The map has helped his party keep their large majority in both chambers of the state legislature since then, even as Democrats often win statewide elections.

With a new liberal majority on the state Supreme Court, the challenge to the map was brought up and has been the topic of conservative criticism nationwide.

"Democrats fought to elect Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Janet Protasiewicz this spring so she could help them retake control of the state Legislature through a rewrite of the state’s political maps. Now the court’s liberal majority is going through contortions to deliver on that anti-democratic judicial promissory note," the conservative Wall Street Journal editorial board wrote in a piece titled "A Looming Judicial Coup in Wisconsin."

Trump shared this editorial on his social media site, Truth Social, where he condemned the Wisconsin Supreme Court for taking up the case.

"Tremendous cheating going on in a State that I love, Wisconsin. Republicans must do something to stop it!" he said in the post.

Trump won Wisconsin in the 2016 presidential election and lost it in 2020. The state appears poised to have a major effect on the 2024 election.

#1  Christie blames Trump for nationwide spike in Islamophobia, antisemitism

Is there actually a spike in "Islamophobia"?

#3  First thing you do is fire the board at the RNC. Till you start there, nothing is going to change. The RNC's current mission is to make money for the RNC and protect what it has.
Posted by: Procopius2k || 11/27/2023 8:08 Comments || Top||

#4  Janet was pretty explicit about intending to overturn the map; it's why she was elected.

The challenges Matt Gaetz faces after leading House into uncertainty
[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] Rep. Matt Gaetz’s (R-FL) recent success in leading the ouster of former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) has catapulted him further into the national spotlight, but the path ahead is fraught with challenges as voters in Florida appear to be scaling back their support.

Gaetz’s journey from Florida state politics to a powerful force in the House has been marked by both victories and controversies, with the congressman known as an outspoken conservative firebrand. His 1st Congressional District in Florida's panhandle is one of the most red in the state, easily winning his reelection bids since being elected in 2016.

This year, Gaetz launched his most controversial and consequential move yet, introducing the motion to vacate that ended in the House stripping McCarthy of his post in a 216-210 vote, marking the first time ever that a speaker was fired from the job.

#1  What percent in his district?
Posted by: no mo uro || 11/27/2023 7:28 Comments || Top||

#2  He likely remains popular in his district, but that doesn’t help the narrative.
Posted by: Super Hose || 11/27/2023 9:47 Comments || Top||

#3  Its time to run the McCarthy's and the rest of the RINOs out of DC. If we are going to break the cycle of corruption and cronyism it needs to happen. Once the deadwood are out we need to force term limits. Clean out the vermin in DC.
Posted by: 49 Pan || 11/27/2023 10:06 Comments || Top||

#4  This reads like a RINO inspired hit piece. A light hit, like Nancy Kerrigan in the kneecaps.

#5  Push polling. Like most polls.
