Bitter Newsom Tries to Rain on Nations Birthday,

It felt like former President Joe Biden’s well-known “Red Speech” circa September 2022, when he told a Philadelphia crowd that “equality and democracy are under assault” and that “Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.”

The stage was bathed in dramatic, dark-red hues reminiscent of fascist regimes. Like, say, the Nazis. 

As I wrote at the time, it was a “foaming, vitriolic, vengeful speech that seemed designed to pull our nation further apart and inflame the more than 73 million Americans who voted for his opponent in the last election.”

California’s failed governor Gavin Newsom, meanwhile, picked a very big day to ship his own spiteful, malignant view of America — the nation’s 250^th birthday. His eight-minute July 4 speech on Saturday didn’t point out the widespread decline seen under his watch, nor the struggling his “progressive” insurance policies have introduced to the residents of the Golden State (many of whom are leaving).

No, it was all about Trump, and how a lot he hates the person, even though the president will not be accountable for the slow, agonizing death of California that has occurred under one-party Democratic rule:

On America’s 250th birthday, we need a declaration of election independence.

Californians will use every energy, every lawyer, every law, and every ounce of will to defend our democracy against any unlawful order this president dares to issue.

Instead of taking a time without work from his limitless grievance and hate politics, he thought this can be a great way to have fun a historic milestone for our nation and our people:

“The American people will go to the polls, and President Trump knows what’s coming,” Newsom said in his speech.

“And, because he knows that, he is afraid for himself. He doesn’t care about you, he doesn’t care about America, and he hardly cares about his own political party.”

Newsom shot a number of assaults at Trump for corruption, while the governor himself and his spouse face probes from the federal Department of Justice.

“He has added more than $4 billion to his personal fortune while sitting in what is supposed to be a public trust. He told you he was going to drain the swamp, but he gave it a presidential suite,” Newsom said on Trump.

“He is degrading the concept of American self-government in a way that no king and no foreign power has ever managed to do,” the governor added.

There are just a couple of issues with his diatribe: Trump has been cleansing up D.C. and is making it secure again, stopping the tsunami of Biden-era unlawful immigration, and exhibiting that we truly can have good issues if we merely do issues proper. That’s immediately in the face of the Democrat narrative that Newsom ascribes to, which is that decline is natural and good, and we should always just let it occur.

The other downside that Gov. Hair Product has? His own home doesn’t seem to be so clean:

What a putrid show, Governor. 

In my opinion, spoiled brat antics like this are one motive you’ll be flattened in the presidential run you’ve been planning for years instead of presiding over California and making life better right here. As a resident of our once proud paradise of a state, I fervently pray that I’m proper.

I’ve seen the devastation the progressive motion can wreak, and if he will get to the Oval Office, our 250-year-old experiment can be in critical peril. 

Let’s make sure we don’t let that occur, America.
