Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Friday, January 23, 2026

But Newsom has a problem: He has been a California politician for decades, and has held the state's governorship since 2019. During his tenure, the state has been a laboratory for some of the Democratic Party's most politically fraught policies and instincts, which has left it less affordable and more culturally radical than it used to be. His record not only raises pressing questions about how effectively he could govern as president; it also provides opponents an endless buffet of vulnerabilities across social and economic issues.

I can't believe this would be the Democrat ticket, its like combining Trump & Harris.

Hero?

You have no evidence of your claim, you run around making false claims .. thats all you idiots do here is make false claims and suck each other off ...

Yet the reality is .... Gavin is ignoring fraud, taking tax payers dollars and giving it to people like this...

Gavin Newsom's California just got CAUGHT in MASSIVE homelessness fraud, dishing tens of millions of dollars to a fraudster who used taxpayer funds to "live a luxurious life"

HE IS NOT THE ONLY ONE. MORE fraud investigations are ongoing.

The Trump DOJ confirms he spent the money on:
- $125K Land Rover
- Mansion
- Second home in Greece
- Luxury vacations
- Designer clothes
- Private schools

I don't know what made California as a whole "unaffordable".

But in San Francisco, it was the high-tech noveau riche.

#10 The Donnerboy rule:

I need two (2) independent sources** from any Trump sycophant for any 'proof' they offer before it is even considered, much less replied to.
**Any source that contains "Trump's FBI said...", or "The DOJ announced..." or "The White House proclaimed..." - or any iteration thereof - will immediately be considered not an independent source. - Try again.

"Good luck CA is toast ...."

lol sure Commie Spyboy.

The fourth largest economy in the world is "toast".

How's the capture of Taiwan (The Real China) coming along?

It's a tiny island the size of Maryland. How embarrassing that Fake China can't control it.

Figured out how to do it yet? I bet it will be a lot Easier than tanking California.

Maybe you should focus on that.

What a waste of bandwidth. Why do you bother?

It's already been proved that the "Trumpy DOJ" cannot be relied on for the truth. Not without verification by at least 2 RELIABLE sources.
