CA Governor Tries to Troll Trump Over Fuel Prices,

Many in the Democrat celebration are lining up to criticize Operation Epic Fury, the joint U.S.-Israel airstrikes that took out Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and nearly your entire slate of leaders of the Islamic Republic regime early Saturday morning. 

They’ve been calling the mission “illegal,” “dangerous,” “criminal,” and any other ominous phrases they’ll discover in their thesaurus.

Leftist California Governor Gavin Newsom, who’s long been rumored to be plotting a run for the presidency, has seen his stock plummet in 2026 after a collection of gaffes, so he (or his juvenile communications workforce) evidently thought he might take benefit of the abroad battle by trolling the president.

It went extraordinarily badly for the workforce, and the “pajama boy” who got here up with the post was savaged, as you will see.

The one factor an advisor ought to immediately inform Mr. Newsom is that he ought to never, ever deliver up fuel costs, because his state routinely has the highest in the nation — by a large margin — refineries are ditching California as fast as they’ll, and even more residents might probably head elsewhere if a proposed mileage tax will get imposed.

But the cocky-for-no-apparent-reason workforce couldn’t help themselves:

Average fuel costs in California have stayed below $5 for almost two years.

Trump’s new battle is already rattling markets.

We’re watching this space. Closely.

“We’re watching this space. Closely,” the official, taxpayer-funder Governor Newsom Press Office account said on X. 

What “space” will you be watching? X feeds? Shouldn’t you be working the state instead of doomscrolling on social media?

The governor might want to have a little speak with the workforce, however, because if he retains getting (just about) pummeled like this online, he’s going to need a respirator. The US Oil & Gas Association’s response was epic and well-deserved:

Time to college the Pajama Boy who runs this account for the Gov – because this is not the flex on Trump he thinks it’s….

California imports 63% of is crude from international international locations – despite sitting on at least 1.7 billion barrels of confirmed reserves.

Their tweet continues (hoo boy, does it):

According to the California Energy Commission right here is the standard break down of where that foreign-sourced crude equipped to California refineries comes from:

Iraq: ~21% 

Brazil: ~20% 

Guyana: ~16%.

Ecuador: ~14%.

Colombia: ~6% 

Canada: ~4% 

Mexico: ~4%

United Arab Emirates (UAE): ~2%.

Others like Saudi Arabia will complete the remainder of the 100% international share.

The only state apprehensive about rattling international markets is California because you might have let yourselves develop into dependent on international provides.

You’ve carried out this to yourselves.

Truth, Oil and Gas Association. 

They, which means California progressives and most of all, Gov. Hair Gel, did it to themselves and all of their residents.

Look at Gavin’s actuality before Operation Epic Fury:

California Gas Prices Jump 40 Cents to $4.58, Now $1.66 Above National Average

Prices have gone down considerably in the Golden State — principally because Trump is in workplace — but look what Gavin, Joe Biden, and Co. hit us with in 2022 with their ludicrous vitality insurance policies and battle on confirmed fuels:

“Gas prices in California have soared to the point where some fueling stations are charging more than the federal minimum wage for a gallon of regular.”

People are leaving.

There are some topics Newsom just plain shouldn’t brag about: homelessness, affordability, betrayal, and of course, the price at the pump. Somebody may need to alert his comms workforce.

Gas in California is almost $2 more per gallon than the national average

Gavin Newsom and his incompetent press workforce worrying about fuel costs is absolutely the top of comedy https://t.co/ICfqJv0Y47

Editor’s Note: Gavin Newsom needs to flip America into one big model of California – a failed, overtaxed, dystopian nightmare.
