Newsom Says Democrats Lack Self-Reflection After 2024 Defeat

California Gov. Gavin Newsom is urging his own party to confront its 2024 election losses with honest self-examination, warning that without serious introspection, Democrats are destined to fail again.

In an exclusive interview with The Hill published on April 22, Newsom said Democratic leaders have yet to engage in a deep exploration of why they lost the White House, failed to reclaim the House, and saw their Senate majority evaporate in November.

“We have not done a forensic of what just went wrong, period, full stop,” Newsom said during the sit-down interview. “I don’t think it, I know it.”

The two-term governor, who is widely viewed as a possible 2028 presidential contender, said his party’s silence in the face of defeat reflects a broader crisis of identity and leadership.

“I don’t know what the party is,” he added. “I’m still struggling with that.”

As Democrats look toward the 2026 midterms and the long lead-up to the 2028 presidential election, Newsom is concerned that without an honest audit of recent failures, the party may find itself locked out of power once again.

OUTRAGEOUS: Soros-Backed County Attorney Says Member of Tim Walz Administration Won’t Face Criminal Charges For Vandalizing at Least 6 Teslas – Police Blast Decision!

Soros-backed Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty will not seek criminal charges for the Tim Walz staffer who vandalized at least six Teslas in Minnesota, causing $20,000 in damage.

The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office will seek “diversion” rather than criminal charges.

Last week, TGP reported that a fiscal policy analyst for Minnesota Governor (and failed VP candidate) Tim Walz’s administration was caught on camera vandalizing a Tesla.

Dylan Bryan Adams, 33, was caught on camera keying a Tesla while walking his dog.

Adams was arrested last week but he likely won’t face any real consequences because the corrupt Hennepin County attorney won’t seek criminal charges.

“Our main priorities are to secure restitution for the victims and hold Mr. Adams accountable. As a result, we will file for pre-charge diversion to best facilitate both of those goals,” Hennepin County Attorney’s Office spokesperson Daniel Borgertpoepping told Fox 9. “This is an approach taken in many property crime cases and helps to ensure the individual keeps their job and can pay restitution, as well as reducing the likelihood of repeat offenses. Criminal prosecution remains a possibility should unlawful behavior continue.”

The Minneapolis Police Department blasted the HCAO in a statement to Fox 9:

“The Minneapolis Police Department did its job. It identified and investigated a crime trend, identified, and arrested a suspect, and presented a case file to the Hennepin County Attorney Office for consideration of charges. This case impacted at least six different victims and totaled over $20,000 in damages. Any frustration related to the charging decision of the Hennepin County Attorney should be directed solely at her office. Our investigators are always frustrated when the cases they poured their hearts into are declined. In my experience, the victims in these cases often feel the same.”

The Left’s Sudden Crusade For ‘Due Process’ Is A Political Smokescreen To Defend Mass Migration

For weeks, media bombarded Americans with reports about a “Maryland father” who was mistakenly deported to a prison in El Salvador — a sympathetic figure supposedly plucked from the streets in a suburb in Baltimore. At the time it appeared the only available detail that stained Democrats’ caricature of Kilmar Abrego Garcia was his alleged involvement in MS-13.

Such an allegation didn’t deter Democrats from rushing to his defense, with Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen going so far as to fly to El Salvador to sit down with Abrego Garcia — a surreal photo-op complete with margaritas. But as Hollen made his visit to El Salvador, new details surfaced: Abrego Garcia wasn’t just allegedly linked to MS-13 — he was also an accused wife-beater and human smuggler.

Suddenly defending Abrego Garcia as an individual — or a “Maryland father” — became politically toxic. So, the narrative shifted. Now, it was less about defending Abrego Garcia and more about defending his “due process rights.”

There’s just one problem: Abrego Garcia already had due process in 2019.

Abrego Garcia illegally crossed the border in 2011 and was detained in March of 2019. He was charged with removability and later was denied bond when an immigration judge concluded — based on evidence — that Abrego Garcia “is a verified member of MS-13” and failed to prove “that his release from custody would not pose a danger to others.” Abrego Garcia’s attorneys then filed an asylum claim six months later. This claim was also denied, though a judge did rule that Abrego Garcia could not be sent to El Salvador. As Will Chamberlain, senior counsel at the Article 3 Project, explained, “Any third country would be sufficient.”

So if it can’t be about “due process,” then what is it really all about?

It’s about sabotaging Trump’s lawful, effective, and broadly popular deportation agenda.

Tim Walz’s Daughter Compares Violent MS-13 Gang Members to Jesus Christ, Claims Trump Would Have Deported Him

Hope Walz, the 24-year-old daughter of failed presidential candidate Governor Tim Walz (D), ignited a firestorm of backlash over the weekend after posting a jaw-dropping TikTok in which she compared violent MS-13 gang members to Jesus Christ — and accused President Donald Trump of being so heartless he would have deported Jesus himself.

In the now-viral clip, Walz unloaded on what she called the Trump administration’s “lack of due process” for illegal immigrants, even suggesting Trump would have falsely labeled Jesus a member of the notorious MS-13 gang.

“If Jesus were alive today and in the United States, this administration would already have taken him and removed him from this country without due process,” Walz said in the video.

She went on to assert that Trump’s team would have “claimed he was a member of the MS-13 gang as a way to try to justify not giving him due process — as if there is any justifiable reason to not give somebody due process.”

“But yeah, some people don’t want to talk about that. It truly is baffling how clear and laid out everything is, and there is still people standing by it. I believe in the good of people and humanity, humans, deep down at our core, we care about each other,” she added.

FAFO: George Mason University Student Who Called for Violence Against Trump Administration Gets Evicted and Referred to Law Enforcement by School

A student at George Mason University in Virginia named Nicholas Alexander Decker recently published an essay calling for violence against members of the Trump administration and Trump supporters.

He has since been evicted from his apartment, and the school referred his essay to law enforcement. In other words, he is entering the ‘find out’ phase of his life.

It’s amazing how the left thinks nothing of calling for violence over politics when they don’t get their way.

Fairfax County News reports:

George Mason University contacts law enforcement after student posts essay on political violence

George Mason University said it has referred a student’s essay to state and federal law enforcement after it sparked concern online.

While GMU did not respond to a FFXnow request to specify which essay, a social media post from GMU comes after a student’s Substack post titled ‘When Must We Kill Them?‘ went viral in conservative circles.

The essay questions when resistance to President Donald Trump’s administration should become violent.

“If the present administration chooses this course, then the questions of the day can be settled not with legislation, but with blood and iron,” the essay said. “In short, we must decide when we must kill them.”

The essay does not explicitly call for violence against any administration officials, but argues that Americans should have a threshold at which they turn to violent revolution. It claims that it may be best to “wait for elections, but if it should threaten the ability to remove it, we shall have no choice.”

Democrat House Leader Hakeem Jeffries Openly Disses Strategy of DNC Vice Chair David Hogg

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries appeared on ABC News over the weekend and openly defied the recently announced strategy of DNC vice chair David Hogg, who is planning to primary members of his own party.

This is the second time in a week that Hogg has been called out by a high level Democrat. Dem strategist James Carville called David Hogg ‘a contemptible little twerp’ during a recent appearance on NewsNation.

The DNC made a huge mistake in appointing Hogg as vice chair. He is an activist. He has zero experience in getting people elected to office.

The New York Post reports:

Dem Jeffries brushes aside DNC big David Hogg’s primary plan, vows to stand by incumbents

Dem House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries on Sunday rejected a Democratic National Committee big’s controversial plan to fund primary challenges against passive party members in safe districts.

Jeffries of New York instead touted his intent to back all House Democratic incumbents across the country in the 2026 cycle and push the party to focus on knocking off Republicans.

“I look forward to standing behind every single Democratic incumbent, from the most progressive to the most centrist and all points in between,” Jeffries told ABC News’ “This Week” when asked about the opposing stance by Democratic National Committee Vice Chairman David Hogg.

“They’re working hard in their communities, rising to the occasion,” Jeffries said of Dem incumbents.

Last week, Hogg, who has been serving as one of three DNC vice chairs since February, announced that his organization, “Leaders We Deserve,” will pump out $20 million to challenge low-key House Dem incumbents in favor of more combative contenders.

Dem Rep. Raskin Threatens Foreign Nations That Work With Trump Admin – ‘When We Come Back To Power We Are Not Going To Look Kindly’

Corrupt Democrat Congressman Jamie Raskin (Md.) issued a direct threat to leaders of foreign nations daring to do business with the Donald Trump administration in a Saturday podcast.

The Maryland representative told a “Pod Save America” host that Democrats need to promote “transnational Democratic solidarity,” a.k.a. left-wing globalism, in order to “prevent the spread of lawlessness and fascist chaos that’s been unleashed” by the Trump White House.

Raskin added that part of the worldwide “Democratic solidarity” should be the idea that “if and when” American Democrats “come back to power, and we will, we are not going to look kindly on people who facilitated authoritarianism in our country.”

The Democrat claimed foreign nations working with the current administration equates to “an assault on our Constitution and our people.”

Of course, one could argue that threatening global trade partners with repercussions for doing business with a lawfully elected president and Congress is an assault on both the U.S. Constitution and the will of the people who overwhelmingly voted for the MAGA politicians currently in power.

The radical rep. issued a similar threat during a Sunday appearance on MSNBC’s Inside With Jen Psaki, saying, “President Bukele… and the other tyrants, dictators, autocrats of the world have to understand that the Trump administration is not going to last forever.”

“We’re going to restore strong democracy to America and we will remember who stood up for democracy in America and who tried to drive us down towards dictatorship and autocracy,” he stated.

Raphael Warnock Slapped With Ethics Complaint for Living in Free $1 Million Luxury Home

When it comes to the lavish $1 million Atlanta home where Sen. Raphael Warnock has lived rent-free since 2023, the Georgia Democrat can’t expect to have his cake and eat it too, an ethics watchdog alleged in a complaint filed Monday.

Warnock’s lavish DeKalb County home came equipped with a plethora of luxury accommodations, including a 100-bottle wine fridge, a bluetooth-enabled cooking range, and remote-controlled privacy curtains. The senator hasn’t paid a penny out of his own pocket to live there because the church where he serves as a part-time pastor is footing the bill, the Washington Free Beacon reported. It’s a great deal for Warnock, but it may violate Senate ethics rules that limit how much lawmakers can accept from outside employment, the ethics watchdog Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust (FACT) alleged in a complaint to the Senate Ethics Committee.

“This is a matter of plain common sense,” FACT executive director Kendra Arnold said in the complaint. “It is difficult to fathom [how] any citizen could look at this situation (a U.S. Senator being a part-time employee of an organization that happens to buy him a million-dollar house to live in for free after he was elected to Congress, and after which he sells his own house) and not think something potentially very wrong is afoot.”

In her complaint, Arnold said Warnock’s free luxury housing arrangement likely violates the Ethics in Government Act, which could carry a range of sanctions for the Georgia Democrat including public reprimand, fines, or censure. She said Senate ethics rules only allow for Warnock’s free housing deal if it’s customary for Ebenezer Baptist Church to provide free luxury homes to its part-time pastors and if it’s something the church provided to Warnock independently from his position as a senator.

Those requirements “have not been met,” Arnold said in her complaint, noting that the value of Warnock’s housing benefit appears to far exceed the part-time nature of his work with the church.

“Especially given the limited amount of time Senator Warnock has for outside employment and the $31,815.12 annual salary he receives from the church in addition to the housing, it appears clear that the housing is excessive and unreasonable for the services he is actually performing,” Arnold wrote.

Arnold’s belief that Warnock’s housing benefit is excessive is shared by Dr. Albert Paul Brinson, a former associate of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who was ordained at Ebenezer Baptist Church by the civil rights icon in 1965. Brinson said during an interview with a local activist in March that King “would have never endorsed” church funds being used to facilitate luxury living for its pastor. Brinson said Ebenezer Baptist Church’s housing allowance was designed to provide modest accommodations for its pastors.

Sick Leftists Blame JD Vance For Pope’s Death

Pope Francis has died aged 88. He had been battling severe illness including a double pneumonia for weeks, which obviously took a massive toll on his health. Yet somehow twisted leftists are blaming Vice President JD Vance.

Yes, really.

Vance visited with the Pope on Easter Sunday, just hours before his death.

He thanked the Pope for seeing him and told him “I know you have not been feeling great, but it’s good to see you in better health.”

Francis had been in hospital for over a month and given that he was now out and conducting meetings and giving speeches, it seemed he might be on the mend, but it was not to be.

Just because Vance was there hours earlier, it’s somehow his fault according to these complete morons.

Chris Van Hollen’s El Salvador Visit May Violate the Logan Act — and Trigger Criminal Charges

Senator Chris Van Hollen’s sudden trip to El Salvador to try to free deportee Kilmar Abrego Garcia may have been illegal.

Van Hollen traveled to the Central American nation on Thursday to meet with Abrego Garcia and lobby for his return to the United Statesm despite the fact that he is not a citizen.

Legal experts and conservative commentators are increasingly arguing Maryland Democrat may have violated The Logan Act, which prohibits unauthorized diplomacy with foreign nations.

The 1799 statute, named after Pennsylvania Senator George Logan, bans communication with foreign officials “with intent to influence the[ir] measures … in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States.”

The Logan Act was previously weaponized by Democrats to harass President Trump’s former National Security advisor Michael Flynn.

While punishment involves a fine or imprisonement of up to three years, nobody has ever been convicted under the act, which is largely seen as symbolic.

The American Accountability Foundation sent a letter to Senate leadership on Thursday highlighting the Trump administration’s evidence that Kilmar Abrego Garcia has connections to the violent transnational gang MS-13, which is designated as a foreign terrorist organization.

“Mr. Abrego-Garcia is essentially an enemy combatant in the ongoing invasion of the United States by transnational gangs,” AAF President Thomas Jones wrote to the heads of the Senate Ethics Committee and Majority Leader John Thune, in a letter obtained by The New York Post.

“Despite the overwhelming evidence, Senator Van Hollen decided that he would use Senate funds to fly to El Salvador and advocate for an enemy of the United States,” the letter said.
