Gavin Newsom Claims His ‘Endemic Plan’ Will Be a Return to Normal, but Still Will Not Relinquish Emergency Powers – Opinion

California Governor Gavin Newsom declared a state emergency on March 19, 2020. Newsom signed an executive order demanding everyone stay home, save for those deemed “essential.” This definition shifted dependent upon who lined Newsom’s campaign (or anti-recall) coffers, and small businesses were completely flatlined. He took emergency powers by executive order, which was unconstitutional. No, “two weeks to stop the spread,” was mentioned, and his Hairfulness decided that daily press conferences to see his coiffed visage were necessary, in order to keep the peasants Be informedLine.

Two weeks following his executive order, Newsom answered a Bloomberg reporter’s question at one of these conferences. This revealed all about his character:

California Globe

Bloomberg News Reporter asked Gov. Newsom: “Do you see the potential, as many others in the Party do, for a new progressive era and opportunity for additional progressive steps?” (video at 51:45)

The governor admittedly gave a long-winded answer which culminated in, “yes,” admitting there is political opportunity born out of the pandemic. “There is opportunity for reimagining a progressive era as it pertains to capitalism,” Gov. Newsom said. “So yes, absolutely we see this as an opportunity to reshape the way we do business and how we govern.”

After two weeks of trying to end the spread, 700 days have passed to try to get our freedoms back from this madman. There have been lawsuits, protests, a failed recall effort, and counties simply saying, “we’re just not that into you,” and people need to get on with their lives; especially since Newsom, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, San Francisco Mayor London Breed, and countless other elected betters have certainly gotten on with theirs. If they don’t feel it’s important adhering to their own COVID rules, why should we?

Newsom apparently has a V-8 two years later (older readers help the young). While the state is still an emergency situation, Newsom’s mask of hypocrisy in the NFC Championships was not surprising. The SuperBowl crowd, which included 70,000, cannot have been excused. Newsom was scathingly criticised and skewered. He is a tin-pot dictator. So now, he has decided to pivot…. Sort of.

Hair Gel rolled out an endemic plan to bring California back to “normal.” Apparently, this plan has been two years in the works (yeah, right), and he made a big to-do about it at a press conference on Thursday.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Thursday announced the first shift by a state to an “endemic” approach to the coronavirus pandemic that emphasizes prevention and quick reactions to outbreaks over mandates, a milestone nearly two years in the making that harkens to a return to a more normal existence.

Newsom said the approach — which includes pushing back against false claims and other misinformation — means maintaining a wary watchfulness attuned to warning signs of the next deadly new surge or variant.

And if there’s not a deadly new surge, trust me, they’ll invent one.

Newsom’s administration came up with a shorthand acronym to capsulize key elements of its new approach: SMARTER. They stand for Shots. Masks. Awareness. Readiness. Testing. Education. And Rx. This is an abbreviation used for prescriptions. It also refers to the improvement of COVID-19 treatment.

Living with COVID-19 under Newsom’s plan means boosting the state’s surveillance, including increased monitoring of virus remnants in wastewater to watch for the first signs of a surge. Masks won’t be required but will be encouraged in many settings.

Is there a way to monitor wastewater flows? This sounds like an excuse to increase surveillance, and this would suit the administration.

“This disease is not going away,” he told The Associated Press in advance of his formal announcement. “It’s not the end of the quote, unquote, war.”

Yet, in supposedly planning for the pandemic’s end, Newsom once again says the quiet part out loud. The pandemic will never end because His Hairfulness intends to retain his emergency powers.

And there will be no immediate lifting of the dozens of remaining executive emergency orders that have helped run the state since Newsom imposed the nation’s first statewide stay-home order in March 2020.

“This pandemic won’t have a defined end. There’s no finish line,” he told the AP. With that in mind, he said his administration tried to craft “a plan that allows us to be prepared without being paranoid and more alert to what’s happening around us without being anxious.”

Newsflash: Hair gel is the sole person who’s paranoid or anxious. Please enter your email address. Mainly because he’s up for re-election in November 2022 and his poll numbers are less than 50 percent. An endemic plan is not going to change his horrible record on combatting the state’s rampant crime or the ulcerous homelessness.

Truth is, most Californians were endemic for at least a year before they reached it. Many have gotten by and fight vociferously for the normalization of their lives, livelihoods, children, and lives. Although many people have left California Adios already, the remaining members of our community will fight to challenge Newsom’s belief that he is able to continue bypassing the will and consent of the people. Super majority voted against the California Assembly’s vote to repeal emergency powers. The Senate has yet to consider the identical measure by Republican Melissa Melendez, Lake Elsinore. Surprisingly, SCR 5 was granted a hearing in March 15.

Timing of the Governor @GavinNewsom “Endemic” plans announcement is just a coincidence that @CASenateDemsIs allowing Sen to have a hearing @senatormelendez’s SCR 5.
Sacramento Democrats govern by public pressure, polls and a backlash from the people. https://t.co/Du0OkPGcP6

Melendez spoke to Dan Ball regarding his Real AmericaOANN Show. Melendez’ Senate floor speech, and interview with Ball is about four minutes in, and encapsulates what we are up against not only from this governor, but from a feckless and corrupt legislature that simply wants to rearrange deck chairs while Captain Hair Gel rams California into an iceberg.
