Gavin Newsom Demonstrates His Lack of Poker Playing Skills—The Governor Is Caught Between California’s Reparations and Fiscal Reality

What democrats communists/globalists are doing in the Soviet Republic of California is almost impossible to fathom. Far-left radicals have pushed the craziest socialist agenda seen in America. They have defunded the police, legalized drugs, and welcomed countless illegal aliens.

This from thepatriotjournal.com.

And surprise, surprise, surprise—the state is falling apart.

Leftists in California have even demanded reparations for black residents over slavery. Even though not a single living Californian is a slave, the radical left thinks black residents should receive over $1 million a person.

 

Now, the governor is forced to decide what to do.

Liberals are fuming and Newsom is in a lose-lose situation.

 

The Gateway Pundit reported Sunday:

[T]he California Reparations task force voted in favor of recommendations that could include payments of a minimum of $360,000 to each eligible black resident in the state.

According to the New York Post:

[T]he reparations proposal will likely cost the state up to $800 billion, more than 2.5 times its annual budget.

In a statement to Fox News, Newsom applauded the task force’s work though he slyly sidestepped endorsing any specific recommendations.

Dealing with that legacy is about much more than cash payments. Many of the recommendations put forward by the Task Force are critical action items we’ve already been hard at work addressing: breaking down barriers to vote, bolstering resources to address hate, enacting sweeping law enforcement and justice reforms to build trust and safety, strengthening economic mobility.

All while investing billions to root out disparities and improve equity in housing, education, healthcare, and well beyond. This work must continue.

The California governor, however, closed his statement with a frightening vow:

Following the Task Force’s submission of its final report this summer, I look forward to a continued partnership with the Legislature to advance systemic changes that ensure an inclusive and equitable future for all Californians.

Here’s why this should chill Californians to the core:

 

The term ‘systemic change’ is liberal code for dismantling

the current economic and political system in America.

 

The Radical Left has used this phrase to advocate abolishing capitalism, defunding the police, advancing critical race theory in the classroom, and much more.

 

Cities and states that have adopted these proposals

have seen crime and poverty skyrocket across the board.

Racial tensions have also worsened.

 

James Gallagher, the California Assembly Republican Leader, noted Newsom “has painted himself into a corner.”

[Democrats Communists/Globalists] have promised the world with this reparations task force, and now the massive taxpayer bill is coming due.

Newsom has painted himself into a corner, and he’ll have to choose between signing off on a ridiculous policy that will bankrupt the state or admitting once and for all that this task force was nothing more than a political stunt.

 

This has been a fool’s errand from the start.

 

And again surprise, surprise, surprise—from The Post Millennial:

California’s Governor Gavin Newsom declined to endorse reparations payments, which could be as high as $1.2 million per person, for black residents, a plan recommended by the reparations task force he formed in 2021…

His state is also substantially in debt, and estimates indicate that were the reparations board’s plans to be enacted, it could cost California some $800 billion.

Bozo Newsom formed the reparations board in the first place and he hired radical leftists to decide if black Californians deserved free money.

 

What did Gavin think they were going to recommend?

Oh it is fun to see leftists turn on each other!

 

It seems even Gov. Newsom was shocked that this board demanded starting payments of $1 million per person. The board claimed that wasn’t even the final payout, but that the state had better start dishing out this cash immediately.

Well, uh, you see, California is in big debt. They had a budget “surplus” a few years ago because the federal government gave them billions in COVID funds. But all that money is gone (because California wasted it), and now they are looking at a massive deficit.

They can’t even afford the bills they have right now, yet these leftists wanted to spend at least $800 billion on reparations? You know that number was going to balloon, as black people from all over the country flooded there for free money.

But Newsom knew he could endorse such an idiotic scheme. He doesn’t even give out money to folks who deserve it, like flood victims.

 

No doubt communists/globalists in the state are ticked off right now.

Many residents, however, are quietly breathing a sigh of relief.

 

Final thoughts: Reparations would have bankrupted the state. But Gavin Newsom pushed them for political purposes, and now the entire world knows how terrible of a poker player he really is.
