Watch: The Shocking Moment Ron DeSantis
Ended Gavin Newsom

Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought, 11/30/2023 11:30:57 PM

As I write this, the debate between Gavin Newsom and Ron DeSantis is entering the final stretch, but short of a miracle turnaround, a winner has already emerged. DeSantis has hammered Newsom with facts throughout the night, and to Sean Hannity's credit, he's put up graphics with each question that have helped expose the California governor's continued lies. Once things end, there will be a lot to cover (and a heck of a lot to fact-check on Newsom's part), but one moment was just too good to not go ahead and share. In it, DeSantis began to recollect a conversation he had with a man who had

Isn't Newsome Pelosi's nephew? If so, he has a darned good chance of 'winning,' if you know what I mean.

Here's the problem though. We sane Californians know that the slimy incompetent POS Newsom lied his way through the entire debate, on every issue. He's a far better liar than Bill Clinton ever was, and a lot of morons will buy it, but he's an effective debater if you're stupid enough to believe his crap. California is a cesspool, but the suburban Chardonnay-swilling, unfulfilled cat women (hat tip to Schlichter) will buy his crap. I can see him winning in 2028, and go down in history as the last President of the US. S will HTF. We won't take it anymore, and by then, we'll have nothing to lose.

I am almost 70 year old, and have lived in California all my life. I can say with 100% certainty that Gavin Newsom, and his Democrat dummy cohorts under the dome (state capital) have absolutely ruined what was once a great state. During Covid Newsom dictated for the regular people in California wear masks while dining in restaurants. Newsom was photograph dining at an exclusive Napa Valley restaurant with guests, none of whom were wearing masks. Newsom has sided with the criminal element and made life more difficult for law enforcement officers to do their jobs. The crime rate has skyrocketed Newsom has signed laws that forbids school staff to inform parents concerning their children's "sexual identity." He ordered young school children not to attend public school during Covid, thinking "distance .learning" was a good idea. When the kids returned to school they were forced to wear masks. Newsom's kids attended private schools. There is an 80 cent tax added to each gallon of gas. California has become a third world cesspool under Gavin Newsom For those across the nation that watched the debate they saw first hand what a liar and slime ball Gavin Newsom really is. Hopefully the nation will see what an evil person Gavin Newsom is and reject him and his ideology.

Lucky for Newsome, most people in the country probably didn't watch the debate. I had zero interest and watched a subtitled Italian detective series, instead. Sounds like DeSantis did OK, though from that one clip, I'm not impressed with his debating style. He had a strong point with the father-in-law thing, but Trump would have paused after that moment of revelation and allowed it to sink in. DeSantis just kept talking and, basically took a lot of the power from what should have been a devastating moment.

remembering the words Josef Stalin said regarding elections and vote counting, for the 2024, 2026 and 2028 elections so the future doesn't look that secure for the Republicans - the demcommies are backed into a corner and unlike the Republicans, they'll come out with a vengeance to win every one of those elections and truth and - honesty be damned because those who win, control the game and the demcommies don't like "losing" at anything

I didn't need to see the debate to know that Newsome is a slimy POS. There are examples of what happens to states and cities that vote demoslut all over the country. Perhaps it has to get so bad in these states and cities that even the brain dead finally will have had enough and consider voting differently. Apparently, it hasn't reached that point in several places yet.

An Illinois appeals court upheld actor Jussie Smollett’s conviction for staging a hate crime in a Friday ruling. The 2-1 ruling means Smollett is likely headed to jail to serve out his 150-day sentence, though his legal team vowed to appeal the ruling to the state supreme court. “We wish to highlight that the decision was divided, with Justice [Freddrenna] Lyle offering a detailed analysis in favor of Smollett,” Smollett’s representative Holly Baird told Fox News.”We are preparing to escalate this matter to the Supreme Court, armed with a substantial body of evidence.”

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — As world leaders gathered for the COP28 climate summit in Dubai, the collapse of a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war Friday plunged the conflict back into open combat and cast a long shadow over the talks. Israel’s top diplomat for the Middle East huddled with leaders at the summit as his colleagues went through a book of posters of those held hostage by the militant group Hamas, placing yellow “released” stickers by some while looking at others still held. Meanwhile, just a street away at the Palestinian territories’ first-ever pavilion, an official gave a horrified look when Associated Press journalists gave her the news that

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said Friday that Israel had struck over 200 terror targets in both northern and southern Gaza after Hamas violated a seven-day truce just over an hour before it was set to expire. In a statement, the IDF said: Following Hamas’ violation of the operational pause, over the last few hours, ground, air and naval forces struck terror targets in the north and south of the Gaza Strip, including in Khan Yunis and Rafah. The IDF struck areas booby-trapped with explosives, terror tunnel shafts, launch posts, and operational command centers designated by Hamas for use in the renewed fighting.

The bottom line is this: the modern home of antisemitism is the Democrat Party. That’s not to say that being a Democrat makes you an antisemite. Hardly. 7 in 10 Jews are Democrats, and many non-Jewish Democrats are anything but antisemites. But let’s face facts: the home of antisemites in America is the Democrat Party. While 80% of Republicans and nearly 70% of Independents support Israel, only 45% of Democrats do. It’s pretty hard to ignore these dramatic differences. Most of the Republicans I see who are critical of supporting Israel do so because they lean toward isolationism, disdaining support for Ukraine as well as Israel. Most of the Democrats

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) correctly noted in his 90-minute rout of Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) that Newsom is a liberal bully. The more accurate term would be “crybully,” and Newsom is the biggest crybully in the country. Newsom’s attempt at shaming DeSantis that backfired was about DeSantis threatening to fine the Special Olympics. Newsom’s “how dare you” routine was designed to make DeSantis look like the bad guy, but he got everything backward. As DeSantis noted, he was threatening to fine the organization of the Special Olympics because it was going to ban athletes who did not receive a COVID-19 vaccine

Florida appears poised to hold no presidential primary election for Democrats this cycle after the state party submitted only President Joe Biden’s name as a candidate up for the nomination. The move to leave Rep. Dean Phillips off the primary ballot left the Minnesota Democrat enraged on Thursday. In a statement first provided to POLITICO, Phillips, who has launched a longshot primary bid against Biden, accused Florida Democratic Party officials of rigging the primary. He threatened a lawsuit and a convention fight if he didn’t win ballot access in the state. “Americans would expect the absence of democracy in Tehran, not Tallahassee,”

Sri Srinivasan, the Chief Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, wrote in a filing that Capitol Police officers and members of Congress who were at the U.S. Capitol that day have filed cases seeking civil damages "for harms they allege they suffered arising from the riot," with the defendant in the lawsuits being named as Trump.

The final whip count was 311 in favor and 114 against, with two members voting “present.” The indicted congressman’s ouster from the lower chamber will usher in an ultra-competitive special election in his Long Island and Queens district that the Cook Political Report has already rated a “tossup.” Once Democratic governor Kathy Hochul sets a date for a special election — likely early next year — local party officials

Former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor died Friday morning in Phoenix, Arizona, the Supreme Court announced. She was 93. O'Connor died of complications related to advanced dementia, probably Alzheimer's, and a respiratory illness, the Supreme Court said in a statement. Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr., said of Justice O’Connor: "A daughter of the American Southwest, Sandra Day O’Connor blazed an historic trail as our Nation’s first female Justice. She met that challenge with undaunted determination, indisputable ability, and engaging candor. We at the Supreme Court mourn the loss of a beloved colleague, a fiercely independent defender of the rule of law, and an eloquent advocate for civics education.

I'll admit to being pleasantly surprised by the outcome of Thursday night's debate between Ron DeSantis and Gavin Newsom. When you hear something enough, it's easy to start believing it, and I can't count how many times I've heard "DeSantis isn't a good debater" leave the lips of a Republican. What that was based on, I'll never quite know, but the myth has been completely dispelled. Yes, DeSantis managed to match Newsom's stage presence, standing up to his smarmy, slick demeanor, but his takedown of the California governor was about something more. It was about knowing the issues, but also throwing caution to the wind in arguing them

The oldest Israeli hostage taken by Hamas terrorists during their barbaric October 7 attack on Israel has died in captivity. He was 85. Aryeh Zalmanovich was one of the founders of Kibbutz Nir Oz. The small Israeli farming community confirmed his death by releasing a statement: With great sadness Kibbutz Nir Oz announces the murder of Aria (Zalman) Zalmanowicz. Zalman was 85 years old, and was a founder of Kibbutz Nir Oz. Zalman was a father of two and grandfather of five grandchildren. He was a man of the land, dedicated to agriculture his entire life. He was an avid reader, with a wide knowledge of history and the country. May his memory be a blessing.

Say what? As bad as we expected the Antony Blinken Lecture Tour in Jerusalem to be, even I wouldn’t have predicted that a US Secretary of State would have said this to a country victimized by a massive terror attack that killed 1400 people. That is, if Blinken actually told the Israelis that they don’t have enough “credit” to fight Hamas to the finish. The transcript comes from the Times of Israel, which translated it from a Hebrew transcript leaked to Israel’s Channel 12 News. Could something have gotten lost in translation? Perhaps, but it’s not the only eyebrow-raising part of the exchange, either. It begins with Blinken

Senate Democrats threw out the rules of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday in order to launch an unprecedented attack on the United States Supreme Court. More specifically, on conservative justices and their friends. For months Chairman Dick Durbin and Democratic Senator Sheldon Whitehouse have been trying to issue subpoenas to longtime conservative activists Leonard Leo and billionaire Harlon Crow. Leo and Crow, both private individuals, are also friends to Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. Earlier this month, Durbin briefly backed off his conquest to subpoena Leo and Crow. Today, he blatantly disregarded Senate process and voted to do just that.
