Celebration of a Hero. Mural artist Randall Williams went by his Kobe mural this morning to honor Kobe today.
Dear California Democrat Party Chair Rusty Hicks:
This is a response to your statement made at the press conference last week, about recalling Newsom.
Democrats liken Newsom recall effort to extremist âcoupâ | CalMatters
You linked this recall effort to the U.S. Capitol breach on 1/6/2016. This is a false statement since there were at least 2 campaigns to recall Newsom in 2020, both of which were initiated before this breach. I signed the petition for each campaign and passed it to others. (This campaign has the largest volunteer pool in history.)
You applied labels to this recall efforts: âCalifornia coupâ, âright-wing conspiracy theoristsâ, âwhite nationalistsâ, âanti-vaxxersâ, etc. Instead of addressing the concerns in the recall petition like an adult, you resorted to name-calling like an immature juvenile, because you have no substantial arguments against them. The point is CAIFORNIANS ARE HURTING!
Recall California Governor Gavin Newsom (2020) (recallgavin2020.com)
The 1 million-plus growing signatures to recall Governor Gavin Newsom include a wide diversity of Californians: Republicans and Democrats, Black and White, Straight and Gay, Women and Men, Young and Old, Poor and Rich, Citizens and Foreigners, Religious and non-Religious, and everyone else in between these demographic groups.
Weâre ALL sick and tired of Newsomâs bad policies that are hurting Californians, as stated in the petition. Heâs not serving the will of the people, as a public servant should for his constituents. Heâs acting more like a dictator pushing his own agenda and lining his pockets, as well as of his rich allies. His mandated COVID-19 lockdowns and subsequent hypocrisies were the straws that broke the camelâs back.
Your labels are cheap shots, false, without substance, and/or an intimidation tactic to stop more Californians from signing the petition as it nears the minimum quota. But if you want to play the label game, two can play that game. The main difference is that these labels below are substantiated.
Labels for Governor Newsom, you, his supporters, and other extremist groups:
Far-left Activists
Mostly ignored/condoned anarchist groups who protested violently, rioted, looted, burned properties, vandalized government buildings, attacked/killed citizens and law enforcements in California last year, without condemning them publicly. Condoned/Supported defunding Californian law enforcements, which hurt minority communities the most.
White Socialists
Increased taxes, regulations, government control, and minimum wages which hurt the poor, working class, and small businesses that include many minorities: e.g. nail shops owned by Vietnamese; restaurants owned by Hispanics; my sonâs coaching business; etc. But the multi-million/billion dollars companies in California continue to thrive, mostly owned by wealthy Whites who support Newsom.
White Privilege
Newsom dined inside the expensive French Laundry restaurant with several health officials without wearing a mask, after he mandated COVID-19 lockdowns on Californian restaurants. His former âAuntâ Nancy Pelosi got her hair done at a hair salon without wearing a mask, after requiring others to close down. Meanwhile, both of their private businesses (PlumpJack, etc) remained open for wining/dining. They also supported defunding the law enforcement agencies, but kept their security team at taxpayersâ expense for personal protection, while inner cities suffered increased homicides. They are the epitome of the white privileged class getting away with murder!!!
White Elitists
Speaker Nancy Pelosi drafted a âCOVID-19â stimulus bills, to pay millions/billions of pork money to her friends in the big corporations, which had nothing to do with the virus. But allocated only crumbs of $600-$2000 to the rest of us. The least that Newsom could have done is work with her to provide better and faster relief to Californians, since his lockdown mandates hurt a lot of us: e.g. increased depressions, suicides, homelessness, unemployment, domestic abuses, etc. Newsom and Pelosi claimed to care for the minorities, but paid only lip services and crumbs to get their votes. We are sick and tired of being used.
Newsom finally announced a big COVID-19 relief bill for small businesses in California, last week. Why did it take him 10 months to provide this much-needed relief? What made him do it now? Was it because the 1 million-plus signatures on this recall petition nearing its minimum quota that scared him? Or was it your failed attempt to link this recall effort to the Capitol breach on 1/1/2021 and to name-calling? Was he was motivated by his âconcernsâ for his suffering constituents or by a CYA-concern, now that his cushy career is being threatened? I believe itâs the latter reason, which means heâll continue to be a bad governor when he can get away with it.
Anyone who supports Governor Newsom and his bad policies should also be recalled/impeached. And I can guarantee you that Iâm not saying this as a âWhite Nationalistâ.
Sincerely, a Black Independent California voter.
Such a great post Inauguration show, Ann Litt!
Believing the Unbelievable.....
There is a old saying that goes something like this..."The further you can look back the more you can see".
I don't know what the future may bring but I am wiling to step outside of the bounds. If things in the United States should seriously unravel into political chaos where the Rule of Law is flushed down the toilet and mobs are in the street, a military overthrow of the civilian U.S. government can not be ruled out. The military takes an oath to support and defend the Constitution and if the civilian political leaders can not govern effectively, then they (the military) may feel it is their duty of bring order to the country.
I admit the chances of this happening now are remote. But, it can no longer be ruled out.
share this with friends, someone who groomed the dog for the owner, said would do it again, but this time did not bring the dog back.
Hey KCRW can you please stop playing Morrissey...
Yes! Thank you MBE. Pretty sure this is the first time I've heard David Bowie's "Blackstar" on the radio. It's one of my favorite songs from the past decade. The music video is wild, too.
