California’s King of Hair Products, Gavin Newsom, has given up even pretending to govern California as he lusts for the Oval Office in 2028. Vainglorious, prevaricating, and grandiose, Newsom has become the avatar of the post-Obama Democratic Party.

Victory Girls has covered the Lizard Clown Prince numerous times. He’s really the gift that keeps on giving — and his wife First Partner is a piece of work in her own right. Which makes next 28 months of runup to Democrat’s National Convention (in Los Angeles in August …!!!) a marathon of enduring Newsom’s cloying narcissism and effete bullying.

Just preview the most recent Gavin conniption over an old (2023) Joe Rogan bit …

JOE "LITTLE GUY" ROGAN IS TOO CHICKEN TO HAVE ME ON HIS FAILING PODCAST BECAUSE HE KNOW I'D CRUSH HIM, SO HE TAKES CHEAP SHOTS FROM THE PEANUT GALLERY AS HE GETS RELEGATED TO IRRELEVANCY. ALL TALK, NO ACTION. I'M READY WHEN YOU ARE, "LITTLE GUY." OR KEEP HIDING!!!! — Governor GCN https://t.co/5JtafE9zE6

Gavin sure holds his peevishness for a long time as if what Rogan said in 2023 is any surprise to anyone with ten cent’s worth of knowledge of the ruin of California. Gavin isn’t really interested in what Rogan says …

“He won’t have me on the show. It’s one way, and he has guests coming on, attacking and bashing, but he won’t have me on the show. Full stop. He should have me on the show.”

Gavin wants access to Rogan’s 14.5 million listeners. Somewhere under five pounds of hairgel, Gavin fancies himself as such a master of elocution and Big Ideas, he’ll bypass “little guy” Rogan on his own show.

Nevermind that Gavin can’t even get an amen from yellow dog Democrat, Bill Maher …

During a Friday night appearance on “Real Time with Bill Maher,” the Democrat was supposed to plug his memoir and trade political jabs. Instead, host Bill Maher put Newsom on the spot over the very issues dogging his leadership in the state.

Maher, who’s previously encouraged Newsom to run for president, didn’t hold back, especially when it came to California’s long-troubled high-speed rail project.

“I say this as a friend, you got to let that train go!”

Inherited 3 administrations?
Ok.. 18 years since the train project was approved.

7.5 years of Gavin as Governor
8 years of Gavin as Lieutenant Governor
2 years Arnold

So 16/18 years he was at the top…

This guy is crazy.

Gavin looked gobsmacked by even Maher’s mild challenge and the pivot to the irrelevant and risible “but but but FOURTH LARGEST ECONOMY!!” is as predictable as his laying the blame for the train debacle on everyone but himself. Being the “fourth largest economy” isn’t much a brag when California’s combined debt (state/local) is within a whisper of $1 TRILLION. This is the guy flaunting his mansion and yacht while teetering on the brink of bankruptcy.

Add in such things like operational refineries have shrunk from 23 (yr 2000) to 11 by end of 2026, and 856,000 Californians have left the state since the first year Newsom become governor in 2019. And the fraud and money laundering is an open-secret.

Newsom’s Obamaesque charm offensive is as thin as his skin. But it doesn’t look like he’s ready to throw in the towel yet. Kind of like the rest of the Democrats currently engaged in Assassination Theater.

Keep calm and keep your powder dry.
