Gavin Newsom is a preening, narcissistic ditz. (I didn't use any forum "bad words," did I?)

Well, it's Gavin Newsom, so I can't say I'm exactly surprised. I honestly believe this twit thinks he has a chance at the 2024 dem presidential nomination...

3 TX newspapers, including [the Houston] Chronicle, run full-page gun control ad paid for by California's governor

California punched back Friday against two recent landmark U.S. Supreme Court decisions. Gov. Gavin Newsom announced he would sign a controversial, first-in-the-nation gun control law patterned after a Texas anti-abortion law....

Newsom stitched the two hot-button topics together in approving a law allowing people to sue anyone who distributes illegal assault weapons, parts that can be used to build weapons, guns without serial numbers, or .50 caliber rifles. They would be awarded at least $10,000 in civil damages for each weapon, plus attorneys fees....

Newsom ran $30,000 worth of full-page advertisements in three Texas newspapers Friday criticizing what he said is Gov. Greg Abbott's hypocrisy on gun safety. The ads parrot a comment by Abbott but substitute gun violence where he mentions abortion.

I'm figuring it was Tim Tebow.

Naw; Tebow's in Jacksonville. My guess is that it was Jimmy Kimmel.

And yet...and yet...the man assaulting the small Asian woman does not appear to be a white supremacist. I had a conversation with a liberal/Democrat friend Monday and the spike in violence against Asian Americans came up. She said instantly that it was a clear example of the huge, and rising, threat of organized, extremist, white supremacy groups, emboldened by the January 6 insurrection.

My comment was that, of all the news items I recall from the past several months of attacks on Asian Americans, most were not perpetrated by "whites" so them being the work of organized white supremacy groups seemed highly unlikely. She knows I news-surf most of the outlets, including CNN and PBS and network news (I admit I can almost never stomach MSNBC for very long, though), but her comeback was that my skewed view of the situation was because all I watch is Fox News.

Not having time to look through recent news stories and capture text and photos, I found this link and sent it to her instead. Michelle Malkin, as a first-generation American and the daughter of Asian parents, has interesting--but not certainly not "woke"--observations about the actual ethnically-targeted violence we've been seeing against Asians in this recent opinion piece in the Norfolk Daily News: https://norfolkdailynews.com/commentary ... 12012.html.

No screaming on roller coasters under California’s COVID-19 plan

Southern California theme parks are set to open as early as next month, but thrill seekers may be forced to bite their tongues while riding their favorite rollercoasters.

The California Attractions and Parks Association is behind a plan that would encourage riders to remain silent while barreling through the air on rollercoasters to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

For the sake of the safety and health of the public, I demand Gov. Newsome and the State of California follow the science and instate a DuMask policy at amusement parks. This entails an alcohol swab around the mouth to remove skin oils; the application of 3-inch wide duct tape over the mouth in a strip no less than 8 inches long, or two strips of offset 2-inch tape if the 3-inch is unavailable; and the wearing of two well-fitting masks over the mouth and nose, the one lying against the face being certified to KN95 standards or higher. Only with this common-sense precaution can we slow the rampant spread of COVID-19 near roller coasters.
