Dems Warn: Never Go Against Family

Dead fish wrapped in newspaper donated by national media outlets have been thumping on the door sills of all registered California Democrats most mornings, a warning from the Democrat Family matriarch.

Decades, billions of dollars, and tens of thousands of lives have been spent building their empire of graft, suppression, hypocrisy, and ham-fisted governance.  The Democrats and their financial donors don’t want to see it toppled by disgruntled underlings and citizen serfs eager for new, scrupulous, competent leadership, so are making it very clear to any Democrat soldiers considering challenging the Governor in the upcoming recall – run against us, and you will be sleeping with the fishes!

The Democrats took great pains during the Trump presidency to document, via their own social media accounts and their scribes at devoted newspapers, every instance of Republican election interference and intimidation, but have no qualms about perpetrating the same dastardly deeds now that they wish to retain their suffocating control over Californians.

Californians will be denied their right to choose a new Governor from a slate of free-thinking Democrats and instead will be forced to choose between the The Democrat’s made man and a roster of Trump- and McConnell-owned Republicanseager to lay claim to California’s enormous economic machinery.

Corporations are supporting the Democrat Family's efforts by donating to the Democrat heir apparent's pet projects in an effort to buy him salve for the wounds Democrats have inflicted on Californians over the last ten years or more, wounds ripped open and doused with lime juice and salt by the governor's pandemic polices. The corporate executives have worked long and hard to assure the person in office will cater to their every demand and cannot afford to risk a leader with couth and intelligence will be elected by the voters.

Without any sense of irony, CEOs have been writing behest checks from their corporate and foundation bank accounts, overflowing with pandemic windfall profits and money protected from taxation by Federal and State legislatures, and sending them to the governor's office or wherever he directed the payments. When reached for comment, the executives all responded by saying, 'Why would be pay taxes into the general fund for the government to use in an equitable, ethical way when we can retain our earnings and use them to buy the politicians who will support our unmitigated greed?' 

We've reached out to political gadflies about town to get the inside scoop on the factions within the two families and get a feel for who may enter the race and, readers, the outlook is not good. Members of the Republican Family are desperately trying to buff off the tarnish they built up standing next to Trump for five years before they announce their candidacy, while honorable Democrats, a rare breed indeed, are in hiding fearing that a Thanksgiving Day Massacre will be the fate of anyone who dares to challenge the Golden (State) Boy chosen by the La Donna of the Democrats and her Capos as the next Boss.

"Jaime Regalado, professor emeritus of political science at Cal State Los Angeles, said Villaraigosa faces potential backlash. “If he ran, he would be a pariah among Democrats,” Regalado said."

"“My old friend Antonio will embarrass himself and forever poison his legacy if he runs,” tweeted Sean Clegg, who previously advised Villaraigosa."

Candidate intimidation is nothing new.  The GOP warned Republicans not to challenge Trump in the 2020 election. In a hit that would make Capone proud, they just took Liz Cheney out for standing up and speaking truth to Trumpists. 

Unfortunately, hypocrisy is nothing new either. As much as Democrats love to parse words and lambast Republicans for every misstep and overt act of subjugation, they rely on the same playbook - but it's okay because they get painted as the 'good guys'. If you stand up to a Republican, you're a hero. If you call out a Democrat for the exact same behavior, you're a traitor to their cause, abusing them, and an unstable alt-right antivaxx conspiracy nut.

Registered Independents polled by this journalist are appalled at being labeled part of a Republican Coup, the implication being they are linked to the January mob that disgraced themselves at the Capitol. They are frustrated that their very real suffering due to Newsom's incompetence and hubris are being flippantly shoved aside by the Democrats desperate to cling to their well-placed heir upon whose coattails they glide. Independent voters interviewed by this journalist provided examples of the reasons they feel Newsom should be recalled:

• EDD failure and fraud - He was Lt. Governor for years, he was steeped in CA politics. He knew, or should have known if he was competent, the utter shambles the department was in and made it a priority. From the report: "During the Great Recession of 2008 and 2009, EDD experienced many problems similar to those we note in this report. Further, it has been aware of deficiencies with its claim process and call center for years."
• Closing State Parks and Playgrounds well into the fall of 2020 while opening bars, restaurants, etc. in May of 2020.
• Hiding data used to make decisions about closures, reopenings, mask policy, and vaccination tiers.
• Preventing millions of children from accessing education while his children attended private school, in person.
• Signing fracking permits in April 2020 while the rest of the State hid in fear due to his claims of 56% of California getting COVID.
• Breaking gathering and mask rules to party with his lobbyist buddies, yet no repercussions.
• The vaccine rollout and subsequent award of a no-bid contract to Blue Shield to manage it (and grab all our private data).
• No repercussions for other high profile people breaking lockdown rules, AirBnB hosts allowing parties, landlords exploiting loopholes to evict people, etc.
• His winery taking PPP money while people lost their businesses and incomes.

Both parties seem to have read Kenneth Ackerman's Boss Tweed and instead of using it as an example of what NOT to do, embraced it as their bible.

The American people should have the right to decide if a leader is incompetent and replace them, the voters should be able to choose between anyone willing to step up and serve their country, their state, or their city. They should not have their decisions made for them by the media, backroom deals, and mafia-like intimidation rituals.

There are numerous legitimate reasons Californians would want a new Governor. The Democrats are using intimidation to prevent Californians from exercising their right to both run for the position and vote for any candidate they wish. Recall supporters are painted as unstable domestic terrorists and potential candidates are threatened with career destruction. Words have consequences. If Democrats want to position themselves as the party of inclusion, equality, and progress - they've got to clean their house!
