Yep, Gavin Newsome is running for president.

I'm guessing we won't see too many news reports featuring heartrending videos of the "clean out process."

I’m curious as to what Newsom’s new label for mental institutions will be. It’s California, after all, so “social re-entry centers” just doesn’t have the vibe.

Less than a year ago, this worthless woke worm of a governor was BRAGGING about the $25 BILLION he has already “spent” on the homeless. Spent on the Homeless Industrial Complex, with no doubt a nice 10% for Governor Worm.

“The time for inaction is over” ...the nerve of this guy.

I expect some JP in Vermont to put the kibosh on this with a restraining order.

How am I supposed to mount a credible Presidential campaign with all these dregs of humanity all over my State?

YOU! You guys clean this all up and make me look good!

I think a lotta municipal mayors around CA are channeling Elon Musk about now...

Thank you for referencing that article Twotone.

"Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Monday ordered cities across the Golden state to start cleaning up its homeless encampments, stating that the "time for inaction is over" and that the state has a lot of federal funding [??? emphasis added] to help with the efforts."

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

The writing of both Justice Joseph Story and Rep. John Bingham, a constitutional lawmaker, indicate that the constitution's drafters had left the care of the people uniquely to the states, not the federal government.

• "10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people [emphasis added]."

"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

“If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).

"The power to regulate manufactures is no more confided to congress, than the power to interfere with [all emphases added] the systems of education, the poor laws, or the road laws of the states." —Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2, 1833.

The congressional record shows that Rep. John Bingham, a constitutional lawmaker, had clarified the federal government's constitutionally limited powers as follows.

”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)

• "From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.

So the “federal” funding that Newsom mentioned will go towards supporting the homeless is arguably from unconstitutional taxes, a consequence of Congress's abuse of its repealable (hint) 16th Amendment powers (direct taxes), and not only shouldn't have left the states, but probably neither the communities that have big homeless problems.

The 16th Amendment is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for organized crime and desperately needs to be repealed along with the 17th Amendment, popular voting for federal senators imo.

We'll call the repeal amendment Trump's Boston Tea Party II Amendment.

As Twotone mentioned, Newsom is probably politicking for POTUS in 2028.

He can’t be governor much longer. Everyone in CA hates him, even the liberals.

Clean out the homeless encampments? Just because of the drug use, crime, prostitution and disease? The fascist./sarc

One of their favorite dumping grounds is Walmart.

I have noticed that our local Walmart allows folks to live in their parking lot.
I refuse to shop there because I do not consider it safe.

You’re right, it’s not safe. They also dump them in towns late at night around bus stations too.

“Ugh! I stepped in sh*t! Oh, it’s MY sh*t! You there! (media) Clean up this mess!”

(Waits to hear about how Skid Row has been cleaned out in L A).

If someone stuck a pin in him, would he deflate or pop?
