Governor Newsom (D) CA Reparations Panel: $1.2 Million Per Black Resident (EDIT: Now 14 Trillion)

Recommended Posts

California Has $18.9 Billion in Unemployment Debt. Companies Will Have to Pay More in Taxes to Cover the Cost

....One potential consequence of California's ballooning budget deficit: Higher taxes for businesses, with increases possible every year for the next decade....Business owners pay a tax on each of their workers. The money goes into a fund that states use to pay unemployment benefits when people lose their jobs. During the coronavirus pandemic, so many people lost jobs that many of these funds ran out of money.....Twenty-two states borrowed from the federal government so they could keep paying unemployment benefits. Those states must pay that money back, plus interest. Most states have already done this. But California is one of five states that hasn't. The state owes $18.9 billion.....If California doesn't pay the money back, businesses have to do it through higher taxes.....

But that was before California had a $22.5 billion budget deficit. Now, Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom wants to cancel $1.25 billion of that spending to help cover the state's budget shortfall. That means businesses will have to pay an additional $21 per employee in federal unemployment insurance taxes this year. That tax will keep increasing by $21 every year over the next decade that the debt is not paid off.....It could take at least 10 years for businesses to pay off the debt.....Meanwhile, the Newsom administration expects California will have a multibillion dollar budget deficit not just this year, but also in each of the next three years — meaning it's not likely the state will start paying off the debt anytime soon.

California could have paid off the debt, or at least a sizeable portion of it, in the past two years when it had a combined general fund budget surplus of $119.4 billion. But state officials didn't do that, to the frustration of business owners like Denise Duncan who are now stuck paying the higher tax..But she said it angers her she's stuck paying for something that wasn't her fault after the government ordered many businesses to shut down during the pandemic.....“We're getting hit over the head with hammers every time we turn around with increased costs, whether it's gas doubling, whether it's insurance and utilities,” said Duncan, owner of AT Industrial Products in Pomona. “They had a surplus. So why didn't they use it?”

CA Gov. Newsom declines to back reparations checks, says slavery's legacy about 'more than cash payments

'.... California Gov. Gavin Newsom declined to endorse the cash payments – which could reach as high as $1.2 million for a single recipient – recommended by his reparations task force, telling Fox News Digital that dealing with the legacy of slavery "is about much more than cash payments." ....."The Reparations Task Force’s independent findings and recommendations are a milestone in our bipartisan effort to advance justice and promote healing. This has been an important process, and we should continue to work as a nation to reconcile our original sin of slavery and understand how that history has shaped our country," .....While the Democratic governor applauded the task force's work, he declined to endorse any specific recommendations, though he pledged to continue to "advance systemic changes that ensure an inclusive and equitable future for all Californians...Dealing with that legacy is about much more than cash payments. ....." he said. 

...."This has been a fool’s errand from the start," James Gallagher, California Assembly Republican Leader, previously told Fox News Digital....."Democrats 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."

Newsom, of course, had no intention of giving out that much money in reparations. His goal is to be POTUS one day. 

But this will backfire. His plan clearly is use the commission to shove political pork at these "black leaders" to sway them to push the black communities in CA to vote for him and keep voting for him. And to later say he couldn't cut the checks because of Republicans in some fashion ( despite the issue that CA is a hard line Blue stronghold ) 

His PR and media team realizes his background ( archetype of a "Ken doll" from white privilege) will not meet the current Team Blue standard of identity politics. He's the kind of person who they vilify, not support for POTUS in a national general election. 

Middle America won't vote for him. And now he's finding ways to trigger a larger cross section of the black community to not vote for him as well. 

He's an idiot.

Well, to be honest, the fact that blacks vote 95% overwhelmingly for Democrats in EVERY election  for almost 100 years now it seems to me the Democrats played black people.  I mean, they vote for the party that fought FOR slavery, implemented Jim Crowe, started the KKK and pushed back against the Civil Rights Act. 

That's got to be the Biggest Play in history, TBH.  You got to give credit to the Dems on this one.  That's a wildly successful con job.

So if they don't vote for him in 2024 they are declaring that they "ain't black".  (Joe's words, not mine)

If they're not black then how can they then claim that big fact reparations check?

You guys are missing the larger picture here: The Democrats are guilty of LITERALLY buying votes.  In all honesty, this guy in the video at the very least should be arrested for extortion and the entire leadership of the DNC should be put behind bars.  This dude is literally selling his vote and the Democrats are LITERALLY IN A SCHEME TO PAY CASH for votes.

Kimberly Guilfoyle Was Still Married to Calif. Lt. Governor When He Had Affair with His Secretary

Kimberly Guilfoyle, became linked to an infidelity scandal after it was revealed that her then-husband, now Lt. California Gov. Gavin Newsom, had an affair with the wife of his campaign manager....In 2004, Guilfoyle's career as a broadcast journalist was taking off and she was splitting time between New York City and San Francisco, where she and Newsom reigned as the popular first lady and mayor of the Golden Gate City....But their seemingly happy marriage soon disintegrated and in January 2005...It later emerged that Newsom, then 39, was having an affair with Ruby Rippey-Tourk, the wife of his then-campaign manager and former deputy chief of staff, Alex Tourk....

....The affair, first reported by The San Francisco Chronicle in February 2007, took place in late 2005 while Rippey-Tourk, then 34, worked as Newsom's appointments secretary, and while Newsom and Guilfoyle were still married...."Everything you've heard and read is true," Newsom, a Democrat, told reporters during a news conference at the time. "And I am deeply sorry about that.".....Rippey-Tourk's then-husband, who was Newsom's former deputy chief of staff and a close friend, had resigned a day earlier, after his wife confessed to her relationship with Newsom.....

California reparations committee demands state apologize for Reagan using term 'welfare queen'

....The task force, which was created by state legislation signed by incumbent Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2020, formally approved over the weekend its final recommendations to the California Legislature, which will then decide whether to implement the measures and send them to the governor's desk to be signed into law.....Among the recommendations is for California to issue a formal apology enacted by the legislature and signed by the governor for slavery and anti-Black racism....."The legislature must apologize on behalf of the state of California and the people of California for the perpetration of gross human rights violations and genocide of Africans who were enslaved and their descendants through public apology, requests for forgiveness, censure of state perpetrators, and tributes to victims," the task force writes in its proposal....

...California never allowed slavery in its history....The task force demands the apology include a "censure of the gravest barbarities carried out on behalf of the state by its representative officers, governing bodies, and the people," highlighting several examples in a "non-exhaustive list." Among the list was Reagan using the term "welfare queen," which the task force called "racist coding to promote his philosophy preferring a limited government."....The task force says Reagan deployed the remark when he served as the governor of California from January 1967 to January 1975....

....The so-called "welfare queen" referred to a mixed-race woman named Linda Taylor, according to a 2019 biography that portrayed her as a con artist and criminal. While Taylor was prosecuted for welfare fraud and reportedly abused the system..... The task force argues that "welfare queen" is a racist term to denigrate primarily single Black women who live on government benefits.....In another example, the report states: "White people comprise 39% of the state's adult population yet are 66% of California's active licensed attorneys, while African Americans are 6% of the adult population in California and only 3% of all attorneys."

....In its report, the task force calls on the legislature to establish a program or government body "to facilitate listening sessions that allow victims and their relatives to narrate personal experiences and recount specific injustices caused by the state of California." These listening sessions "should inform the language of the legislature's apology and the methods enacted by the legislature to satisfy victims."

California Faces a $32 Billion Deficit, ‘This Was Not an Easy Budget’

....California Governor Gavin Newsom (D)  announced a revised budget plan to address the state’s $32 billion deficit....Since January, the state’s deficit has grown by $10 billion, as reported by the AP. While the state’s budget is balanced this year, in the coming years the state is committed to spending more money than it will receive from taxpayers....Fox News reports that Gov. Newsom’s latest proposal calls for a spending reduction of $1 billion, and the rest of the deficit he is covering by taking money from the state’s safety net reserve and borrowing....

Only Gavin Newsom could turn a $100 billion surplus into a $31 billion deficit in less than a year,” Gallagher said in a press release. “His approach to closing this budget gap is more of the same. His cuts to drought programs are dangerous, his “fiscal gimmicks” are shortsighted, and his words about good government and efficiency are yet another empty promise. Californians deserve better.....". 

Newsom’s revised budget comes just a week after....reported that a California’s task force on reparations would cost the $800 billion — more than twice the cost of the state’s budget

California’s homeownership rate falls again — with the sharpest drop among younger adults

....Californians in their late 20s and early 30s own homes at half the rate as their peers outside the state.....The state’s homeownership rate for people aged 25 to 75 dropped to 43.5% in 2021, down from nearly 50% in 2000, the paper found. By comparison, homeownership in the rest of the United States is nearly 60%......“It’s falling for every age group, every education level, with or without college, every racial or ethnic group you can name, people with kids, people without kids — they’re all losing ground.”  

.....Romem says reversing the trend will require cities and counties to build more housing in existing neighborhoods, including in expensive coastal metros, where there’s a severe lack of affordable housing. He said local governments should loosen zoning rules in those areas to allow higher density “missing middle” housing, such as duplexes and fourplexes. Those could offer younger Californians the option to buy a more affordable home....

Newsom's political cronies in big business are buying up CA real estate in massive waves. It's not hard to see what is happening. Enable criminals. Drive up regulation. Make the state intolerable for the working class. Then turn the state into a full blown uptopia for the hard Blue "elite" 

Newsom is talking about identity politics all the time. But not about affordable housing for the every day working class. 

He only cares about being President one day. He doesn't care how many average every day Californians living paycheck to paycheck have to get gutted and run over to do it. 

It doesn't come for free. The "commission" he put together to "evaluate" reparations. That's taxpayer dollars. As if CA doesn't have better places to put that money. But it's buying votes as always. There was never any intention to give reparations. Just a dog and pony show to convert tax payer dollars into graft and political pork for high level race hustlers to keep them in line to keep doing Newsom's and Pelosi's bidding.

House Dems introduce $14 trillion reparations proposal for descendants of slaves

.....Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., announced the resolution during a press conference, claiming the United States "has a moral and legal obligation" to compensate Black Americans for the enslavement of their ancestors.....Rep. Bush was joined at the press conference by several other lawmakers, including Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich. Both Bush and Tlaib are considered members of "The Squad," a group of ultra-progressive members of Congress........."Reparations is necessary towards really true equity," Rep. Tlaib said. "We hear the Biden administration and so many others talk about that word equity. They need to make sure that reparations is part of the movement toward equitable distribution, of resources, and making sure we acknowledge again the fact that we have racial injustices and structures right now that are systemically racist in our country."

......The $14 trillion proposal comes as President Joe Biden and congressional leaders continue to negotiate about the federal debt ceiling.....The idea of cash reparations for descendants of slaves has been met with strong pushback, including from the Black community. The San Francisco chapter of the NAACP rejected a proposal created by a local committee to give "one-time, lump sum" payments of $5 million to eligible Black residents....."We strongly believe that creating and funding programs that can improve the lives of those who have been impacted by racism and discrimination is the best path forward toward equality and justice," San Francisco NAACP President Amos Brown said in a statement.....

....Likewise, the Berkeley Unified School District (BUSD) in California is considering a proposal to give cash payments to Black students who are descendants of slaves. The district has created a task force that will figure out how to fund the reparations proposal by January 2024....Wednesday's proposal by Rep. Bush stirred fierce debate on social media, with some critics pointing to her position in Congress as evidence that reparations are unwarranted....."Yet here you are a black female sitting in Congress. One of the most powerful positions in our country, yet you want reparations. You sound very oppressed," author John Mattingly said to Rep. Bush on Twitter.

California city gives celebrity chef José Andrés an exemption for his restaurant to use gas stoves

...A CNN report from the network's chief climate correspondent Bill Weir touted New York's ban on natural gas, including gas stoves in new homes, by claiming it would help slow climate change....In Palo Alto, California, local administrators have given an exemption to celebrity chef José Andrés that will allow his new restaurant to use gas stoves....The attorney continued by arguing how it would alter the "caliber" of the food and would force the five-star restaurant to change its menu. ..."Without a gas connection and appliances, Zaytinya would be forced to alter its signature five-star menu, which it is unwilling to do," Shimko wrote. "Zaytinya cannot compromise the caliber of its cuisine and reputation, and if SPG cannot provide gas in Building EE, Zaytinya will likely choose not to locate within the City. This would be an unfortunate loss for the residents of Palo Alto, as well as a compensable loss for which SPG would be forced to seek redress."

"....the City and the Mall have agreed that this one project should be able to proceed with gas service consistent with the long-established project plans."...Other businesses, however, may not be so lucky...."Except for this one-off situation, Palo Alto’s all-electric requirement is being implemented for all new projects and substantial remodels. Building electrification is critical to reducing our greenhouse gas emissions...."

In 2015, Andrés was appointed by President Barack Obama as an ambassador for citizenship and naturalization.[59]
In 2022, Andrés was appointed by President Joe Biden as Co-Chair of the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, & Nutrition.[61]

Andrés versus Trump

Andrés and the Trumps have a history of disagreements and a protracted legal battle that ended last spring. The roots of the disagreements between Andrés and the Trumps have to do with another DC restaurant; specifically, the restaurant Andrés was supposed to open in the lobby of the Trump International Hotel on Pennsylvania Avenue.

But Andrés abruptly pulled his restaurant concept after Trump announced his presidential campaign in 2015....Andrés is Spanish-born and an outspoken advocate for immigrant rights. Saying he was offended by Trump’s comments, Andrés and another chef named Geoffrey Zakarian said they would no longer be working with Trump organization.

Trump then sued Andrés for breach of contract in August 2015, and Andrés countersued, kicking off a legal battle that raged for nearly two years until the two parties settled in April 2017.

Interesting how California works. There are the rules for those that hobnob with Obama, Biden, Newsom and Swalwell. And rules for everyone else. Why wouldn't so many Black Californians think, seeing the consistent cronyism and corruption in the entire state think that they could just force their way into massive million dollar payments that would literally cripple the entire CA economy, and with enough negative impact to crush the entire American economy as well.

NAACP issues travel warning in Florida: the state ‘has become hostile to Black Americans’

....The NAACP issued a formal travel advisory for Florida on Saturday, saying the state has become “hostile to Black Americans” under Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R) leadership.....“Due to this sustained, blatant, relentless and systemic attack on democracy and civil rights, the NAACP hereby issues a travel advisory to African Americans, and other people of color regarding the hostility towards African Americans in Florida,” the group added.....The advisory points to several of DeSantis’s controversial policies, including legislation he signed on Monday to prohibit colleges from spending public funds on diversity, equity and inclusion efforts....

....The Florida governor also previously signed the Stop WOKE Act, restricting how workplaces and schools can discuss race during required training or instruction....“Let me be clear — failing to teach an accurate representation of the horrors and inequalities that Black Americans have faced and continue to face is a disservice.... and a dereliction of duty to all,” NAACP President and CEO Derrick Johnson said in a statement.....“Under the leadership of Governor Desantis, the state of Florida has become hostile to Black Americans and in direct conflict with the democratic ideals that our union was founded upon.....”

Let's see if we can unpack some of this. 

Governor Gavin Newsom, basically the archetype of "white privilege", toys with the black community in California and refuses to give them the 1.2 million or 5 million or 14 trillion per black person ( however they would deem to evaluate whom would even "qualify") and he is not "cancelled"

But Governor Ron DeSantis doesn't want Critical Race Theory in the workplace or in schools ( and he was elected by democratic processes, so this is the extension of the will of the voters) but his state houses the Florida Gators, which has created the opportunity for many black American young men to go on and become millionaires in the NFL and attain generational level wealth, but he is "cancelled" 

So young Emmitt Smith or young Wilber Marshall and countless other young black men should have forgone what might have been their most prime opportunity to showcase themselves for the NFL if they had been born later to appease the NAACP?

So I think you ask a very good and important question. If Newsom has the power to sign off on "reparations" in California but does not, how is he not seen as a pure out and out racist? He was raised by the Getty family as a youth. Meaning he was literally raised by one of the wealthiest families in American history and one of the wealthiest families in the entire world. He's never worked a real job in his entire life. He's been protected and pushed forward in his career by his "Aunt" Nancy Pelosi. He is the textbook example of white nepotism, cronyism and elitism and it's all crickets around him. I guess it's just clearly (D)ifferent

If I ever see FL plates out here, I assume it's a rental from the airport or something. 

A close friend of mine from FL moved out here maybe 20 years ago because her boyfriend lived here. They got married, had a kid. 

Moved back to FL last year so they could sell their house here and buy something twice as big AND retire early. She wasn't mad about it.

Civil rights veteran calls Democrats' push for reparations a political ploy: ‘It’s about 2024’

.....Robert Woodson, a civil rights veteran, slammed Democrats pushing for reparations as a ploy to gain the support of Black Americans for the 2024 presidential election. A civil rights veteran who went viral for denouncing reparations on "Dr. Phil" accused backers of reparations of trying to gain support for the 2024 presidential race....Despite polls showing that reparations remain unpopular, Democratic lawmakers introduced a resolution calling for $14 trillion in reparations and California’s reparations task force recommended $1.2 million in payments to each qualified Black American.

"It's a ploy," Woodson said. "It's just keeping us all at each other's throats, and it's being used cynically by people who really are trying to undermine the fundamental values of this nation.....With the president's numbers declining, they have to do something to keep the Black community in line and race is a sure strategy because when somebody is in a constant state of grievance and agitation, they're much easier to control...." 

...."In order to solve a problem, you've got to properly diagnose, and reparations is no answer for the challenges facing large numbers of Blacks in these cities....It is lethal to continue to direct attention away from the critical problems and challenges facing Blacks.....More Blacks are killed in one year by other Blacks than were killed in the 40 years by the [Ku Klux] Klan....So tell me how reparations could address that critical crisis.....Some people can't even tell who their fathers are today, let alone trace their ancestors back....The time and energy that we can spend tracing our history ought to be spent in mending the healing wounds that are in our own community."

PETERSON: Well, things get to terrible places one tiny step at a time, you know. If I encroach on you, and I’m sophisticated about it, I’m going to encroach two millimeters. I’m going to encroach right to the point where you start to protest, then I’m going to stop. Then I’m going to wait. Then you’re going to come down. Then I’m going to encroach again, right to the point where you protest, then I’m going to stop. Then I’m going to wait. And I’m just going to do that forever, and before you know it you’re going to be back three miles from where you started, and you’ll have done it one step at a time. And then you’ll go, “Oh! How did I get here?” And the answer was, “Well I pushed you a little farther than you should have gone, and you agreed. And so then I pushed you a little farther than you should have gone again, and you agreed!”

PETERSON: Yes, well, “seemingly innocuous ideology.” Those words, “innocuous ideology,” those words do not go together. There are no innocuous ideologies, and they’re forms of pathological oversimplification. And they’re also clubs, I mean the kind of clubs that you hit people with, as well as the clubs that you belong to. The advantage to me being an ideologue is that I can explain everything. I can feel morally superior. And I know who my enemies are. And you know what you’re supposed to do with enemies. They’re not your friends, right; you move against them. And you know we’re approaching the situation in— this has already happened, I think more in the United States than in Canada, although our countries are competing to see who can cross the idiot line fastest. You’re in a situation in the U.S. where fifty percent of your population won’t talk to the other fifty percent. That’s not good. And I would say it’s more pronounced on the left liberal side, because they regard everybody who voted for Trump as, essentially as an enemy. It’s like, “Hey, people, that’s fifty percent of your citizens; you might think about talking with them.” You know, people you can’t talk to, those are enemies.

PETERSON: Yeah, that’s right. Well, if you teach one side to play identity politics, defacto you teach the other side to play identity politics. And I’ve seen more and more people who are center people, as far as I’m concerned, pushed to the right..... Because of the continual insistence that by their mere existence they’re part of the perpetrator group.... Well, and it’s also extremely annoying for people who’ve worked really hard, and who’ve made the requisite sacrifices to become successful along some dimension, to have that immediately attributed to their oppression..... It’s like, for the social justice warrior types out there who might be listening, it’s like do you, are you really willing to say that every single person who’s accomplished something has done that as a consequence of oppression?

Yet another conservative boogeyman.

Grooming, trannies, reparations', etc.  All things that impact a tiny tiny percentage of the population or will never happen yet conservatives need their boogeyman to be scared of.  Just like when Trump came down the escalator and called Mexicans rapist and murderers.  

Got to have that boogeymen or conservatives would have to realize how out of step they are with the majority of the country.

lol, nothing more low IQ than being an uneducated racist.  I'll happily take "joggers" every trip of the train over you brain dead white supremacist.
