Gavin Newsom\u2019s Weird Idea of \u2018Freedom\u2019<\/a> In a run-up to what is likely to be a 2024 presidential bid, California Governor Gavin Newsom hit upon the bizarre idea of boasting in commercials that California is America\u2019s true \u201cfree\u201d state.<\/p>\n Part of his ad campaign is to attack Florida\u2014currently run by Newsom\u2019s possible rival, Governor Ron DeSantis.<\/p>\n Yet, with the most burdensome regulations and high tax rates, Newsom\u2019s California is arguably the most unfree state in the union.<\/p>\n In return for these steep costs, the state\u2019s public institutions, infrastructure, and services are among the country\u2019s worst.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n California\u2019s once-vaunted freeway system is near the bottom of all state comparisons. California\u2019s Highway 99, which runs the length of the Central Valley, is one of the deadliest roads in America based on miles driven.<\/p>\n Over half the nation\u2019s homeless crowd the state\u2019s major cities. One-third of America\u2019s welfare recipients have flooded into the state. A fifth of the resident population lives below the poverty line. Well over a quarter of Golden State residents were not born in the United States.<\/p>\n California public school test scores consistently fall among the bottom 10 states. San Francisco has the highest per capita property crime rate in the country.<\/p>\n The recently recalled San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin and his soon to be recalled Los Angeles counterpart George Gasc\u00f3n have nearly ruined their cities. Both are iconic of multibillionaire George Soros\u2019 nationwide efforts to undermine the entire criminal justice system.<\/p>\n State residents are not free to drive safely because of their decrepit freeways. They are not free from filthy and toxic sidewalks or dangerous physical assault in their major cities.<\/p>\n Public school children are not free to enjoy competitive educations. San Franciscans are not free to park their cars without fearing that they will be vandalized or stolen.<\/p>\n The destruction of these freedoms is in direct proportion to the confiscatory taxes that the state collects\u2014the highest bracket of income and gasoline rates in the nation, among the highest sales taxes, and property taxes that soar due to inflated assessments in spite of a 1978 state constitutional amendment.<\/p>\n Currently, California faces brownouts due to the longstanding, deliberate curtailment of electrical generation plants.<\/p>\n Yosemite\u2019s historic redwood forest is currently threatened with what are now customary California summer conflagrations.<\/p>\n The destructive, dirty forest fires reflect a deliberate state policy of not gleaning the forests of dead trees, but rather letting the flammable debris serve as \u201cnatural\u201d fodder for bugs and birds.<\/p>\n The state has not built a major reservoir in nearly 40 years.<\/p>\n In rarer wet years, millions of acre-feet of runoff and snowmelt simply cascade to the sea. Releasing such vital water apparently enhances 19th-century riparian landscapes\u2014and discourages its own agribusiness.<\/p>\n Amid Newsom\u2019s anti-Florida ad campaign, the governor was vacationing at the upscale digs of his Montana in-laws\u2014escorted by his ample state-paid security detail. That is odd, given Newsom\u2019s California labels Montana a homophobic hellhole, and will not even reimburse state employees who dare to convention there.<\/p>\n Hypocrisy and elite virtue signaling, however, are now trademarks of California politicians\u2014and illustrate how little elected officials care for the victims of their ideological agendas.<\/p>\n Newsom bragged about his tough California mask mandate although it did not lower COVID deaths per capita in any measurable degree than did the policies of the red states he so often trashes. He violated his own COVID mandates by dining at the upscale French Laundry restaurant and hanging out unmasked with Magic Johnson.<\/p>\n Newsom has done nothing to remedy his state\u2019s soaring gas prices, terrible schools and infrastructure, or spiking crime. But he did virtue signal about giving illegal aliens millions of state dollars in COVID relief.<\/p>\n Rather than develop California\u2019s rich gas and oil reserves, Newsom promised strapped motorists that he would send them a one-time fuel gift of $400.<\/p>\n House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), likewise, hectors Californians to mask and quarantine\u2014all the better for her to sneak around unmasked at her hairdresser\u2019s, or to jet to the beaches of Tuscany.<\/p>\n Former senator and current Chinese government lobbyist Barbara Boxer retired to an estate in Rancho Mirage. Recent Governor Jerry Brown isolated himself on his 2,500 acres in Grass Valley\u2014idyllic locations far away from the education, infrastructure, and urban disasters that exploded under their tenures.<\/p>\n So it is Orwellian for Newsom to brag about a \u201cfree\u201d California that supposedly will entice Floridians or Texans. In truth, over the last decades hundreds of thousands of Californians and billions of dollars of wealth fled the now inert California for a far freer Florida and Texas, among other states.<\/p>\n By voting with their feet and bank accounts, California\u2019s expatriates considered these destinations far superior to their home state: safer, cheaper, better managed, and freer.<\/p>\n Newsom resembles a pathetic owner of a once successful, but now run-down, high-priced gas station without clients. In jealousy, he flails and screams at the newer, gleaming competitor across the street, with superior service, lower prices, and better value\u2014and jam packed with his own former but now wiser customers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Not surprising for demoncrap tyrants Gavin Newsom\u2019s Weird Idea of \u2018Freedom\u2019 Newsom resembles a pathetic owner of a once successful but now run-down, high-priced gas station without clients.
