Independent studies have confirmed Newsom's claim, although it is unclear whether the researchers who ran the study were just trying to avoid getting arrested by Newsom. "Our research places California at number 1 in a list of the freest places in the whole entire universe," said one nervous-looking scientist.
At publishing time, rumors had surfaced that Newsom was planning to run for President in his quest to make the entire country as free as California.
It’s that wonderful season again, like Christmas but even better, when the nation gathers together in joy and harmony to cover up the most obvious side-effects of democrat policies — right before the presidential election. Yesterday, the Associated Press ran a story headlined, “Newsom orders California state agencies to start clearing homeless encampments.”
In what the AP called Governor Newsom’s “boldest action yet,” the leader of the Golden State issued an executive order addressed to state and local agencies, directing them “to move urgently to address dangerous encampments while supporting and assisting the individuals living in them.”
Move urgently. Time is of the essence.
How bold! How leaderlike! How … presidential! ...
A curious Associated Press noted, but promptly dismissed, what it called the “curious” timing of Newsom’s bold, leaderlike order “given recent developments in the 2024 presidential race”

Gavin Newsom Boasts About Giving Taxpayer-Funded 'Free' Healthcare to Illegal Aliens
California Governor Gavin Newsom is openly reaffirming his support for extending state-funded healthcare to illegal immigrants, telling The New York Times he is “proud” of California’s decision to use taxpayer dollars to provide medical coverage to those residing in the state unlawfully.
In a Truth Social post, President Trump called California “more corrupt than Minnesota” —a true fact— and said California was “under investigation,” without providing details.
In response, California governor and French Laundry aficionado Gavin Newsom shot back, “Donald Trump is a deranged, habitual liar whose relationship with reality ended years ago.” Weak. But —and here’s the thing— he didn’t deny massive California welfare fraud. Instead, he claimed, “Since taking office, I’ve blocked over $125 BILLION in fraud, arrested criminal parasites leaching off of taxpayers, and protected taxpayers from the exact kind of scam artists Trump celebrates, excuses, and pardons.”
How many more billions weren’t blocked? Newsom’s protestations about tackling fraud sound just like what Governor Walz tried to claim at the beginning of the current scandal— meaning less than a month ago.
As for the claim that the oleaginous governor blocked ‘$125 BILLION in fraud’— well, I can’t wait to see his receipts. Since 2024, California’s main obstacle to stopping fraud has been one Gavin Newsom. Headline from ABC-10 Sacramento:
Newsom vetoes bill aimed at
tracking state spending on
homelessness, housing programs
We shall see. Good luck, Gavin.
