Newsom Sells Bibles at 'PATRIOT SHOP'

Thursday, August 28, 2025

California Governor Gavin Newsom is now selling merchandise a la Donald Trump -- including $100 "Bibles" that are already "sold out" -- in his latest move to troll the president. "THE PATRIOT SHOP IS NOW OPEN!" the Democratic governor announced Sunday in a social media post. "MANY PEOPLE ARE SAYING THIS IS THE GREATEST MERCHANDISE EVER MADE. PLEASE ENJOY, AMERICA!"

This is ridiculous. Trying to one up Trump. Instead of one uping him. Maybe chart a different course of action. Selling Bibles isn't it.

The bible includes the hits ...

Adam and Steve - the life, times and struggle in San Francisco.
The Birth of Jess - Crossing the border has never been so fun

Gov Newsom has been echoing and trolling Pres Trump's tactics.

While I do agree, those lame, e.g., Bible-selling tactics may not work with Democrats, they have seemed to resonate with the MAGA base.

Maybe Gov Newsom is just trying to probe into the electorate to see what works with voters?

I've not a clue on this, but i do find it interesting to follow.

(and, fwiw, I finally added "Newsom" to the OK part of the browser's spellcheck here.)

Newsom is also mocking Trump's frequent over use of "Many people are saying" when he wants to create a false impression.

Just lately Trump said, "Many people are saying that a dictator might not be so bad."

That's called planting a seed.

Grok agrees with Newsom that the rotting------------- has dementia.

On Monday, Trump mentioned a favor he did for the mysterious "Kristi Whitmer""which could have been a portmanteau of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, or a repressed memory about Christine Whitman, who was governor of New Jersey in the 1990s.
He's referred to the Democratic Republic of the Congo as "the Republic of Condo," the Russian city of St. Petersburg by its Soviet-era name of Leningrad, and Noem by the name of an LPGA golfer, Cristie Kerr"all in the past month.
On Tuesday, the Trump administration had disgraced doctor Ronny Jackson declare the president "mentally and physically sharper than ever before."

Yikes.

Yikes, indeed

That the dementia gremlins floating around in Trump's brain are turning off the circuit breakers at a rapid rate of speed.

There's no doubt that Trump's cabinet and staff are aware, maybe even anticipating.

I mentioned years ago on this site that I had a vision of the Secret Service chasing Trump running buck naked down Pennsylvania.

I've always suspected Laura was a unfunny bore, looks like I have the evidence. P.S. Lookup who's running Gavin's social.

There never was a Bible for sale. This was intended to mock Trump and his merch efforts.

I get you are trying to troll but if that was in there, I would want it more.

The trolls are just angry that they don't have the money to buy this best-selling edition of The Bible LOL

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. And, in Newsom's case, not being able to come up with any original ideas means you have to copy others.

"There never was a Bible for sale. This was intended to mock Trump and his merch efforts."

Can you cite this please? Every search I'm doing on Google and Bing say this is real. His mocking is in the parodies of the items, not in that he is just putting superficial items up for sale to mock.

And, if it is true, it's hilarious how liberals demonize a rich guy for getting more rich by selling merch but then when a rich liberal does it, it's "mocking". Newsom did this to make money, that's it. You can spin it however you want and add in whatever political bias that helps your narrative but this is just another money grab by a rich person. I'm good with it because I enjoy Capitalism but liberals are only being hypocrites by supporting this.

AI Overview
News reports state that in late August 2025, California Governor Gavin Newsom began selling autographed Bibles online to troll former President Donald Trump, who had sold his own "God Bless the USA" Bible. Newsom's Bibles sold out within hours, but reports do not mention them containing blank pages.
The idea of a Bible containing blank pages is a separate concept with historical and religious significance:
A blank page often represents the 400-year period between the Old and New Testaments, a time known as the "intertestamental period".
Some Bibles include a single sheet with the words "The New Testament" that separates the final book of the Old Testament (Malachi) from the first book of the New Testament (Matthew).
The misunderstanding likely conflates Newsom's recent merchandise sale with the existing historical and religious significance of blank pages found in some Bibles.

Only foolish/gullible dems would buy a 'bible' that is all blank pages, from a snake-oil salesman like newsom.

Newsom isn't copying Trump. He's mocking him with humor. Watch SNL some Saturday night . . . or the monologs of the late night comedians . . . and you'll get the drift.

There's a lot of truth in humor.
