Re: California's Disatrous Liberal Policies

Trump's decisive victory in November appears to have caused a seismic shift in California's Democratic leaders' sanctuary rhetoric, clearing a path for conservative local politicians to ramp up their fight against the illegal immigration crisis.

As Americans rally behind Trump's immigration crackdown, Californians are becoming increasingly outraged by the state's existing crime surge, further worsened by sanctuary laws.

Trump and others continue to battle against those targeting Immigration and Customs Enforcement, but Democrats like Gov. Gavin Newsom — despite his recent attempts to reinvent himself as a moderate — keep thwarting those attempts with pro-sanctuary policies.

Newscum knows he has to appear to change.

In his case, its too little, too late.  If he tries to run for president in 2028, he will get burned badly.

Trump endorses arrest of Gavin Newsom



President Donald Trump has publicly voiced his support for the arrest of a sitting state governor.

Speaking to reporters at the White House Monday, the president responded to a question from Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy regarding the ongoing back-and-forth between California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Trump's "border czar" Tom Homan.

"Gavin Newsom is daring Tom Homan to come and arrest him," Doocy asked Trump in the video captured by CNN cameras. "Should he do it?"

Trump endorsed the idea, responding, "I would do it if I were Tom."

"I think it's great. Gavin likes the publicity, but I think it would be a great thing," Trump said. He continued by calling Newsom a "nice guy," but "grossly incompetent."

I'd love to see him in cuffs.

Mass deportations can't save California, but Trump should do it anyway.

Trump may have repealed the EV mandate, but California is still trying to run gas-powered cars off the road.

California drivers, brace yourselves. Starting July 1, 2025, you could be paying 65 cents more per gallon — pushing gas prices to a staggering $8 by 2026.

Why? Because California regulators, fresh off the repeal of the federal electric vehicle mandate, are going full speed ahead with stricter clean fuel standards — which critics say amount to a hidden tax and a deliberate attempt to force drivers into electric vehicles.

Back in November, the California Air Resources Board — an unelected group appointed by Gov. Gavin Newsom — voted to update the state's Low Carbon Fuel Standard. The new rules penalize gasoline and diesel producers and reward low-carbon fuel options like EV charging infrastructure.

Cleaner fuels, higher prices
CARB's goal is to cut the carbon intensity of transportation fuels 30% by 2030 and 90% by 2045. Fuel producers that exceed carbon limits must purchase credits, a cost that gets passed straight to you at the pump. While regulators tout benefits like reduced air pollution and $4 billion in new clean energy investments, experts project these rules will raise gas prices by 47 to 65 cents per gallon next year — and possibly $1.50 more by 2035.

Meanwhile, two major California refineries are shutting down, reducing capacity by over 8%. That means less supply and even higher prices. Some forecasts, including one from the University of Pennsylvania's Kleinman Center for Energy Policy, warn of $8 gas by 2026.

Republican Senate Minority Leader Brian Jones calls it "blatant price gouging" by an "unelected board of wealthy bureaucrats." He's filed a public records request to expose what he says is a coordinated effort to bypass voters and crush gas-powered mobility.
