Newsom Trolls Florida on COVID Vaccines and Schools While Ignoring His Own State – Opinion

California Governor Gavin Newsom continued to follow Patrick Bateman’s lead by harassing Florida Governor Ron DeSantis regarding vaccines in schools.

In our new series of — Hypocrite or Fraud?…

Florida is back in school today. Their Governor hates vaccine mandates. 

But what he–and all the GOP leaders–fail to mention is that every single red state already mandates vaccines for their schools. pic.twitter.com/UA2LAunZou

Sure, Hair Gel.

Unlike California, where the teacher’s unions pay him to get their dirty work done, Florida, and most other red states have decentralized educational systems with local control at the county, and municipal level. DeSantis also signed HB1557: Parental Rights in Education Bill into law after it was approved in Florida’s legislature.

Newsom has made it a mission to destroy parent’s agency to have oversight and input in their child’s education and health choices. To achieve this end, he signed executive orders and told the California legislature that it was law.

But, it’s a Democrat supermajority in California, so he’s got it like that.

While Florida county and municipal school boards set the vaccine policies according to their constitution and laws, Newsom attempted to trample on local school boards by forcing COVID vaccines on children without parental consent and without any concern for the child’s health and well-being.

Or for any religious, medical or other exemptions.

While done on former California Governor Jerry Brown’s watch, SB 277 is still a law on the books that Newsom has not lifted a finger to modify or remove. SB 277 eliminated the ability to grant religious and medical exemptions on vaccines. This bill was pushed through by the same senator. Senate Bill 871 will require all California schools to have COVID vaccinations.

Gavin Newsom is here: The same playbook but a different day.

DeSantis, or any Republican governor, would not do the same to their citizens as Gavin Newsom did to Californians. For the last two years, however, Republican governors have not used a state-of-emergency and executive orders to thwart the will of the people or actual legislative governance.

The lawsuit by the OC Board of Education to stop this emergency is progressing. Judge today stated that “I do not know which science Governor relies on.” We might find out that in this case.

A day later, feeling chuffed over trolling DeSantis and championing COVID vaccines, instead of coming off “presidential,” Newsom ended up looking stupid.

The CDC declared Thursday that COVID restrictions would be lifted to allow scientists to make recommendations.

Are political winds or blind squirrels finding a few nuts?

You decide.

This new direction will allow you to: @CDCgov has taken a substantive step toward ending lockdown-by-stealth, dismantling vax segregation & discrimination, and eliminating unnecessary disruptions in the lives of kids this school year. Good job, @CDCDirector! https://t.co/mEBQFVH75v

Newsom’s house of COVID cards that he created with the still embedded state of emergency just keeps falling down, showing him for the failed governor and buffoon that he is.

That’s how to boost the national profile.

Newsom suddenly becomes concerned about the drought.

Governor Gavin Newsom said that California needs to invest in water storage, desalination, and recycling over the next 20 years, as it faces increasing drought and heat. Gavin Newsom made the comments in Thursday’s proposal.

This comes amid drought that continues to plague the U.S. West. According to Department of Water Resources, the state is on track to lose 10% of their water supply by 2040. On the construction site for a plant to remove the salts of river water from which it should be, the Democratic Governor was scheduled to meet with him to discuss his proposal. He said that this is the type of project the state requires more of over the next years.

His proposal stated that his proposed water recycling targets would ensure treated wastewater is safe to drink and would be $27Billion in 2040.

Proposition 1in was approved in California by voters in 2014. Do somethingInformation about drought problems in the state. Eight years later, we’re still waiting on those reservoirs and infrastructure. If the California Water Commission—whose members are appointed by the governor—really wanted to do something, it would have happened by now.

Newsom still talks out his neck on energy and water, however. James Gallagher (California Assembly Republican Leader) called him out about not only his. water hypocrisy, but after the “homegrown team” under the banner of the Los Angeles Times wanted to talk about Newsom’s tough, climate and energy stance, Gallagher exposed Newsom’s forked tongue.

Newsom talks out of both sides of his mouth: 100% zero emission retail electricity when last month he pushed a budget bill that streamlined more natural gas plants to keep💡on. While Newsom is calling for renewables, his PUC considers disincentivizing solar. https://t.co/yg3UB8D6dQ

And after all this doublespeak on energy, and flossing about his so-called drought proposal, Newsom announced that what the state really needed to get things done and pull down more federal dollars is an “Infrastructure Advisor.”

Is it possible for a person to agree to this position of insignificance?

You can now enter Antonio Villaraigosa, the ex-Mayor de Los Angeles.

Fox11 LA

Former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa will serve as an infrastructure advisor for the state of California, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Thursday.

Villaraigosa’s appointment comes amid $120 million in funding awarded by the Department of Transportation to California for eight projects.

His primary task will be to identify priority projects and maximize federal funding access.

“With this influx of federal dollars, we have an incredible opportunity to rebuild California while creating quality jobs, modernizing crucial infrastructure and accelerating our clean transportation progress, benefiting communities up and down the state,” Newsom said in a statement. “Antonio has the extensive experience and relationships to deliver on this promise and bring together the many partners who will be key to our success. I look forward to his collaboration with the administration as we build up communities across California.”

Referring to the blind squirrel analogy: The L.A. TimesThis is the correct answer:

For Newsom, it could be smart politics to try to neutralize intraparty critics when you’re positioning yourself as a possible Democratic presidential contender.

“He’s clearly trying to consolidate Democratic voices,” said Steven Maviglio, a Democratic communications strategist.

Clearly. One thing you can say about Antonio Villaraigosa: he’s a loyalist and a foot soldier. He’s also desperate for prestige and relevance, so, he and Newsom are birds of a feather.

Villaraigosa’s salary is the first thing you notice.

It’s always about getting paid.

Newsom’s press shop said Villaraigosa’s position “is supported through a partnership with California Forward, which will collaborate with him and members of the administration on local engagement efforts.”

California Forward explained that support means that the non-profit is giving him $175,000 to do five months’ work.

The governor’s office did not respond to questions about why the state needed California Forward to pay his salary.

We’ll see if Villaraigosa lasts five months. It is a well-known fact that Newsom’s “advisors” rarely stay around very long.

It is unclear how Newsom feels this will affect his national and state standings. His public statements are nothing but bright shiny objects that distract from rising gas prices, increasing inflation, crime, inability to curb homelessness and the fact more people are leaving this state each day.

City Journal however points out that Newsom is living in an alternate reality.

California’s natural beauty and balmy climate are the envy of every state. Yet a strange thing has happened over the last two years: for the first time in state history, California has begun to shrink.

You wouldn’t know it from Governor Gavin Newsom’s air of public confidence. In the last few weeks, Newsom accepted a national award for education transformation and ran political ads to warn Floridians that their freedom is under attack. In both cases, he offered California’s progressive model as the right fit to reform the rest of America.

But his proud rhetoric doesn’t match California’s declining reality. Americans are voting with their feet to reject Newsom’s California model and heading to the very states that he criticizes.

But in delusional fashion, Newsom will continue to troll Florida’s DeSantis while ignoring the state he’s supposed to be governing.

We’ll see if this works out as a winning strategy locally or nationally.
