Apparently, Gavin Newsom does know how to clean up homeless encampments – as long as they’re in the way of one of his wealthy, politically connected friends. That just happened in Oakland, California.

It’s just like the time a few years ago when Newsom cleaned up the streets of San Francisco for a few days because officials from China were coming to visit the city. Some people matter. Not you, of course, just the famous and powerful people.

This is so insulting because it is a reminder that people do not have to live this way. It’s just being allowed to happen because people like Gavin Newsom don’t care about the average American. Just their connected friends in their inner circle.

Breitbart News reports:

Gavin Newsom Intervened to Clear Homeless Encampment Outside Super Bowl Champ Marshawn Lynch’s Home

Many Californians are wondering just what they have to do to get Governor Gavin Newsom to get the homeless off the streets. As it turns out, all you need to do is be one of his celebrity buddies.

According to text messages obtained by the San Francisco Chronicle, Newsom’s office became very proactive in helping clear a homeless encampment outside the home of the governor’s friend and podcast co-host, Seahawks legend Marshawn Lynch. Lynch’s agent is also friends with the governor.

The homeless encampment became an issue in 2024, when an RV, a camper, and an SUV set up shop and backed up into the freeway. Lynch was far from the only resident to register a complaint. In fact, Oakland officials received 311 requests to disperse the Dover Street encampment.

However, one particular request seemed to go further up the chain than most.

“I got a call from the Governor’s office regarding a number of RVs that are parked out in front of Marshawn Lynch’s family home,” texted then-Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao’s chief of staff to Oakland city administrators. “The Governor’s office is requesting our support to help resolve the issues in a timely manner.”

Republican Steve Hilton, who is running to replace Newsom as governor of California, has already jumped on this story. Watch:

Gavin Newsom won’t clear homeless encampments outside YOUR house, YOUR kids’ school, YOUR town.

But of course he leaps into action to clear the encampment outside the home of his podcast co-host Marshawn Lynch.

Newsom is a perfect example of what has gone wrong in so many parts of the country. We need more big changes.

This week on The Five, Greg Gutfeld provided some education for Democrats on their tired and expired race card and other divisive tactics, pointing out why they don’t work anymore.

The country has moved on, much to the horror of Democrats. No one wants to hear their accusations. No one is even listening anymore.

Greg Points out that even though the left seems to think that they are all about the future, they are completely trapped in the past.

It’s so true.

PJ Media has details:

He started with the core diagnosis: The left is trapped in the past.

“Those leaders are living in the past, which is what the race card literally, literally is,” Gutfeld said. “You’re living in the past to imprint it on the future. The things that they say are happening aren’t happening.”

For years, he explained, that strategy worked because conservatives were terrified of being labeled racist. That fear was the weapon. Once it’s gone, the weapon is useless, and that’s exactly what’s happened.

“It used to work. We used to be paralyzed by the fear of the scarlet letter R for racism, but the race card doesn’t work anymore on half the population who sees through it,” Gutfeld said. “The other half are just doing it out of habit. But we disarmed the left because we lost the fear. And so now, it’s just a gun shooting blanks.”…

“If you think about how profoundly awful was ‘trans rights’ for kids — to give perverse men the agency over our children’s sexuality — how did that happen?” Gutfeld demanded. “It was like, we feared the swarm of activists calling us transphobic. We feared being called bigots if we came out against illegal immigration. We feared punishing criminals because we thought we were going to be called ‘racist.’ Once you lose the fear, you can finally get back to the normal way things go.”…

“The Democratic Party, in my opinion, still has to do that. They haven’t done it. They’re still on the same path to destruction they’ve always been on, which is identity politics. It’s taken this country down a terrible path,” declared Gutfeld.

The left can’t let go of these things because they see them as political weapons. They will have to lose more elections before they even consider changing tactics.

A 98 year-old WWII veteran named John Bernard Arnold III recently passed away in Massachusetts and had no known living relatives. People sent out word about his funeral services and hundreds of strangers showed up to pay their respects. It’s such a beautiful thing when this happens.

A similar situation unfolded for a Navy veteran in Tennessee back in March.

In this case, some estimates suggest as many as 1,500 people showed up. Just amazing.

The New York Post picked up the story:

WWII vet with no known family given hero’s sendoff as 1,500 strangers show up to funeral

A World War II veteran who died with no known family was given a suitably heroic sendoff this week — with around 1,500 strangers showing up to pay their respects at his funeral.

When John Bernard Arnold III died on May 6 at age 98 at a nursing home in East Bridgewater, Massachusetts, a local veteran services group issued a public appeal to show respect.

“This veteran passed away with no known family to attend his services. Let’s send him off the way a veteran should be,” Hanover-Hanson Veteran Services said on Facebook.

The group hoped for a small show of support — and was stunned when an estimated 1,500 people ultimately got involved.

“The level of humanity out there, where people can come out not knowing who he was … is absolutely incredible. It shines a light on what we do as a society,” the veteran service’s Terrance O’Keefe told WPRI.

Following the service at Saint Joseph the Worker Church in Hanson, MA, dozens more, including a long police motorcade of biker cops, escorted Arnold to his final resting place at Cedar Knoll Cemetery in Taunton.

This veteran was expected to have almost no one at his funeral. Instead, an entire community showed up to honor him.

During a recent event, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries spoke of people who voted for Trump and said “our goal is to break them.”

If you read the Gateway Pundit, you know that among our many criticisms of the Democrats is the fact that they are not offering the country any new ideas. They bring absolutely nothing to the table for the people of America, other than outrage, protests, and Trump hatred.

Just look at what Jeffries is saying here. He is not saying “here is how we will improve people’s lives.” No, he is talking about ‘breaking’ his fellow citizens for not voting the way he wants them to.

So inspiring. Such an uplifting message.

Transcript via Real Clear Politics:

HAKEEM JEFFRIES: I guess part of how we as House Democrats view this moment: either MAGA extremists are going to break the country, or we’re going to break them. And our goal is to break them.

We will defeat them.

We have to beat them electorally, and then we have to break their spirit because of the extremism that’s being unleashed on the American people that’s completely and totally unacceptable.

And that’s the approach that we’ve taken with respect to legislating on these discharge petitions.

And so while we have a responsibility to drive down the high cost of living and focus on the affordability agenda, we also believe that there’s an accountability agenda that the American people will expect, rightfully, for a separate and coequal branch of government to pursue, and led by Robert Garcia, who’ll do a great job.

Jeffries was speaking at the Center For American Progress “IDEAS” summit. It’s ironic that the word ‘IDEAS’ is printed on the wall behind him. He doesn’t have any ideas. No one in his party does.

If they retake power after the 2026 midterms, we are going to see a replay of what happened after they retook power in Trump’s first term.

The Democrats have nothing to offer.

Dirty Brad Raffensperger, the corrupt Georgia Secretary of State, came in a distant third in the Republican Party gubernatorial primary on Tuesday night.
Brad the Rat was eliminated from the race on Tuesday night.

Raffensperger came in third and will not make the runoff election between the two top Republicans, Burt Jones and Rick Jackson.

It was a good ole’ Peach Tree State shellacking!

Raffensperger became a hero of the liberal media after he lied to the American public about the contents of a call he had with President Trump before the state certified the Georgia 2020 election.

A 2024 report at The Federalist confirmed The Gateway Pundit’s reporting from over a year earlier  that Brad Raffensperger’s office most certainly committed a crime in January 2021 during the Georgia Secretary of State’s office phone call with President Trump on January 2, 2021.

On February 21, 2023, Joe Hoft at The Gateway Pundit discovered that Jordan Fuchs, Georgia’s Deputy Secretary of State in 2020, who was on the January 2021 call with President Trump, taped the call from Florida without announcing it.

This was a criminal act since Florida is a two-party consent state.  You must notify an individual before you record them in Florida.  Jordan Fuchs did not do that when she recorded President Trump speaking with Raffensperger’s team. But that was not all. Her second illegal act was destroying the audio recording. It was later discovered in her computer’s trash folder!

Mollie Hemingway at The Federalist confirmed our reporting from February of last year.

On January 2, 2021, President Trump made a call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger asking him to look at some of the items that his auditor uncovered.

There was plenty of evidence for a competent auditor or any man of integrity to know that the election was uncertifiable.

Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger’s office secretly recorded the phone call with President Trump, then lied about its contents later when they leaked it to the far-left Washington Post.

The Georgia Secretary of State’s office altered and released their inaccurate version of the call to the Washington Post the next day.

Raffensperger’s office ran to the Washington Post and leaked a fraudulent transcript of the call.

Fuchs provided the WaPo with a fraudulent Trump quote that the paper ran in an anti-Trump hit piece on January 3, 2021.

They planned this to do the most damage to President Trump before the sham impeachment trial in the US Senate. It was totally planned for maximum effect.

After they were caught lying to the American public, The Washington Post outed Jordan Fuchs as their anonymous source for the garbage hit piece.

On Tuesday night, Republican voters in Georgia made sure that Raffensperger was finished. Dirty Brad did not make the runoff election for governor.

Look for Raffensperger to join a Democrat group as soon as he leaves office next year — Until then, let’s not let this controversial figure screw with the election results in the 2026 midterm elections!
