California’s history of felonies, feces, and failure should end Newsom’s political career, but it won’t
Debate Between DeSantis and Newsom: A Total Crapshow for Newsom
Thursday night’s debate between Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis and California Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom was a total crapshow for Newsom — literally.
When the Democrat darling wasn’t getting lambasted for violating his own Covid restrictions and allowing homelessness and human feces to plague California’s major cities, Newsom was justifying the presence of pornographic materials in school libraries and defending the surgical mutilation of minors, even without parents’ knowledge. Meanwhile, DeSantis stuck to the facts and tackled major culture war issues most Republicans are often too afraid to mention.
Things got so bad for Newsom that his wife reportedly stepped in to prevent the debate from continuing beyond the original 90-minute discussion agreed upon by the governors.
But Thursday’s back-and-forth wasn’t just a heated discussion between two high-profile politicians. It was a symbolic display of the stark spiritual divide encapsulating the country. While DeSantis represented positions of truth, logic, and common sense — like protecting kids from disfiguring transgender surgeries, for example — Newsom embodied the lies, deception, and propaganda of his fellow leftists.
Even when confronted with facts — some of which were displayed in front of him — Newsom simply lied or pivoted to launching ad hominem attacks against conservatives. Such is the way of the modern left.
In a sane world, DeSantis’ beatdown of Newsom and the Democrat Party’s extremist agenda would end the California governor’s prospects for higher office. But America doesn’t exist inside a sane world anymore, and the sad reality is that many of the leftists who watched Thursday’s debate probably came away believing Newsom’s falsehoods — or worse, knew he was lying but simply didn’t care.
If Newsom were to run for another statewide office in California today, there’s no reason to believe the vast majority of Democrats in the state wouldn’t vote for him. Even if it means having to pay higher taxes, subsidize illegal immigrants, and dodge human feces, used needles, criminals, and homeless encampments on the streets, Democrat voters will not abandon their dystopian belief that the state is almighty.
For the left, politics is religion. It’s what drives them, shapes their nonsensical worldview, and permits them to justify the most demonic policies imaginable, such as murdering innocent unborn babies and conducting irreversible surgeries on minors without parental knowledge. There is no belief in objective morality or truth on the left because Democrats’ view is that morality and truth are whatever they want them to be, facts and logic be damned.
Leftism is a heck of a drug, and no matter how much pain and suffering it causes, Democrats won’t stop taking it.

How does Newsom’s defense of pornographic materials in school libraries raise questions about his judgment and priorities?
Rld anymore. Unfortunately, Newsom’s disgraceful performance in the debate is unlikely to have a lasting impact on his political career, thanks to the current state of American politics.
One of the most glaring examples of Newsom’s failure was his defense of the presence of pornographic materials in school libraries. This is not only shocking but also deeply concerning. It is outrageous that a governor would advocate for the exposure of explicit and inappropriate content to minors. It raises serious questions about Newsom’s judgment and priorities.
Equally troubling was Newsom’s support for the surgical mutilation of minors without parental knowledge. This is not only a violation of parental rights but also a dangerous and irreversible procedure that should not be taken lightly. Newsom’s stance on this issue demonstrates a complete disregard for the well-being and safety of children.
In contrast, DeSantis remained focused on the real issues that matter to the American people. He addressed the pressing problem of homelessness and the rampant spread of human feces in California’s major cities, issues that Newsom seems to turn a blind eye to. DeSantis showed courage in tackling these difficult topics, even though they may be uncomfortable for some to hear.
What is particularly disheartening is Newsom’s inability to engage in a meaningful discussion and respond to facts presented to him. Instead, he resorted to lies and ad hominem attacks against conservatives. This type of behavior is indicative of the current state of political discourse in our country, where personal attacks and deception have become the norm.
The debate between DeSantis and Newsom went beyond a battle between two politicians; it represented a battle between truth and deception, logic and propaganda. DeSantis stood for principles that resonate with the American people – protecting children, upholding parental rights, and addressing pressing issues. On the other hand, Newsom embodied the lies, deception, and extreme agenda of the left.
It is unfortunate that in today’s political climate, Newsom’s disgraceful performance is unlikely to have a lasting impact on his political future. The current state of American politics often prioritizes image and rhetoric over substance and integrity. This allows politicians like Newsom to continue pushing their extreme agendas without facing the consequences of their actions.
In conclusion, the debate between DeSantis and Newsom was a total crapshow for Newsom. His defense of explicit content in schools, support for the surgical mutilation of minors, and inability to engage in meaningful discussion were disgraceful. However, in today’s political climate, it is uncertain whether this performance will have any lasting impact on Newsom’s political career. It is a sad reflection of the current state of American politics, where facts, truth, and integrity often take a backseat to rhetoric and image.
