It’s interesting to watch Gavin Newsom come out against some of California’s worst legal and regulatory missteps as he prepares to run for President. After six years of overseeing the state’s decline he now champions such causes as the rollback of CEQA’s onerous growth-killing regulations as well as a more stringent response to the impact of chronic homelessness on the quality of life of all Californians.  We half expect him to finally pull the plug on the horribly expensive and unnecessary bullet train to nowhere next.

Author and motivational speaker Dennis Waitley believed that “Continuous learning is the minimum requirement for success in any field.”

While it’s a long way from the Mother Lode, the front-runner for New York City Mayor represents a real concern for political leadership in the U.S.

Mamdani’s stand as a self-proclaimed Socialist is bad enough, but his use of the slogan “Globalize the Intifada” in the past is deeply disturbing. He recently pledged to stop using it. That’s great, but the question is: Does he still believe in it and it’s equally abhorrent racist cousin “From the River to the Sea” calling for the elimination of the Jewish State?

Ranked Choice Voting delivered a victory to an avowed Socialist in New York City’s mayoral election and has created near-chaos in Alaska, one of two states to use it, the other being uber-liberal Maine. Let’s hope that this ridiculous way of eliminating candidates in a primary is never brought to California state-wide elections and, if put on the ballot, is defeated as it was in Nevada.
