By Samuel Strait – Reporter at Large – January 23, 2022 In another of California's "third World" urban centers, often referred to as LA or Los Angeles, Governor Newsom, with a penchant for a good photo op, was found casually suited in tee shirt, slacks, loafers, and a baseball cap, with blue plastic bag in hand "helping" workers clean up the trash ladened right of way on the Union Pacific tracks north of LA. Apparently, Governor "Empty Suit" hadn't been in front of a camera for at least fifteen minutes before the anguish became too much for him and he hopped aboard a private jet to fly to Los Angeles. Not that LA doesn't have a wealth of more serious problems, or that Sacramento's Executive leadership finds it necessary to send the Chief Bottle Washer to LA to pick up trash, No, it gives Hair Gel an opportunity to preen and prattle before cameras about "State Support" for beleaguered Crime infested Cities. Embarrassing video of the right of way alongside Union Pacific's tracks covered with debris from containers looted by "gangs", not groups of people, finally got the empty suit's attention. The feckless mayor and his "soft on CRIME, DA", are reaping the whirl wind of Progressive policies within the State. The foolishness of "Defund the Police" has resulted in a huge spike in crime coupled with no accountability practiced from the DA's office. Smash and grabs by organized "gangs" of criminals, looting of rail containers, and a spike in violent crime, have turfed our Governor from his life of excess into announcing his, not the legislators, "Real Public Safety Plan", in order to bolster law enforcement efforts to curb crime in California. The Governor's Plan you say, is exactly what? Looks like a call for multi State agencies who will "support" current law enforcement in their efforts to "crack down" on the current wave of lawlessness, and of course SPEND MORE MONEY. The Governor will instruct Caltrans to assist in the clean up effort with Union Pacific workers, and the California Highway Patrol will continue to assist in efforts to prevent railway theft, but only in LA. The "new" all out effort on theft prevention will include "prosecuting criminals involved", oh really, and cleaning up local communities. Seems he forgot to mention "climate Change". The grandiose "Plan" is expected as usual to have a steep price tag of $255 million, plus another $18 million for the State's Attorney Generals Office to wave its magic wand at the problems. No mention of the previous policy of slashing police budgets, prosecutorial indifference, and catering to Progressive Social Justice. As he rode off into the sunset clutching his singular half filled blue plastic bag, Hair Gel could not refrain from plugging his $1.1 billion Clean California Plan, again no mention of "climate change", no doubt headed to the nearest high end restaurant to get maskless and cosy with a group of lobbyists, angling for a "big donation" for his reelection in 2022. Some political "animals" find it hard to change stripes. Newsom as he has been known to do, never leaves a potential photo op to pass him by. Yet another example of his tone deaf administration.
