New in PJ Media:
Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-California SSR) has just thrown cold water on the persistent idea that he will step in for the senescent corruptocrat Old Joe Biden and his cackling sidekick Kamala Harris and become the Marxist, uh, that is, Democrat party’s nominee in 2024. On Monday, the telegenic and ambitious slayer of California insisted that Old Joe has been a remarkably effective president, and Newsom’s words weren’t as ridiculous as they appeared at first glance: if the objective was to weaken and ultimately destroy the United States, then yeah, Biden has done a terrific job.
The Daily Caller reported Monday that Newsom sat down with CNN propagandist Dana Bash to declare his undying love for Old Joe and The Cackler. It’s unclear what game Newsom is playing at this point, but it may be that he is presenting himself as the insider, the loyalist, who will be a safe choice (as opposed to the renegade Robert F. Kennedy Jr.) for the political elites if they decide that they can’t keep up the Biden charade any longer, that Kamala is never going to cut it on the big stage, and that Michelle Obama just can’t be persuaded to become her husband’s new mouthpiece.
Bash asked Newsom if voters had any “reason to be concerned” about Old Joe’s advanced age; she didn’t say anything about Biden’s even more advanced incapacity, but Newsom did his best to address both Old Joe’s age and his ability. “Voters have every right to be concerned,” Newsom began generously, and then audaciously invoked the sainted father of the party’s current bad-boy outsider: “I remember Bobby Kennedy said it best, what the world needs are the qualities of youth, not a time of life, but a state of mind. A quality of imagination.”
Was Newsom saying with a straight face that the dementia-addled Biden’s “state of mind” reflected “the qualities of youth”? Why, yes. Newsom himself had the “quality of imagination” necessary to construct a fictional Biden for Dana Bash’s witless leftist audience. He continued with rising enthusiasm, “I couldn’t imagine three years ago that this president could accomplish so much in such a short period of time. I mean that.” Of course. If an open Southern border, international humiliation in the Afghanistan withdrawal, and ever-rising gas prices and overall inflation were the goal, then Old Joe has done a bang-up job indeed.
Newsom, whose socialist mismanagement has caused a record decline in the population of California, added, said that the Biden regime had given the world a “masterclass,” which certainly explains why he himself has been such a disastrous governor. “There’s simply no administration in my lifetime that’s been more effective,” Newsom added, and once again, that all depends on one’s definition of “effective.” If destroying America as a superpower and even as a nation-state in the service of globalism and socialism is what you’re after, then yes, no previous administration can touch the record of the Biden regime.
There is more. Read the rest here.

‘A quality of imagination’? Is he talking about old joe’s constant and ever more ridiculous lies?

The rot in America is very deep and it is led above all by the Democratic Party, which is slowly making a farce of elections as a way to alter America forever. I don’t think enough people yet realize how the Democratic Party has been taken over by truly bad human beings. Here’s more proof:

If Newsom sucked any harder his head would cave in.
This obvious pandering to the masters behind the curtain of the Dumbocrap party makes me wonder what is happening in the background?

Biden at least had various red states pushing back & limiting some of that damage. Whereas Newsom has single-handedly wrecked California: even the red inland counties throughout the state, from Riverside right upto Modoc have fallen apart. California has already lost 2 Congressional seats, while Texas and Florida have picked up 1 each. Now they need to adjust down the number of electoral votes California has accordingly
