California Gov. Newsom draws "battle lines" with GOP in inauguration speech
January 6, 2023
SACRAMENTO — California Gov. Gavin Newsom may be fresh off a campaign victory, but on Friday he talked like a politician ready for a fight as he held up his state as a beacon of freedom amid what he called a "rising tide of oppression" in Republican-led states.
"The battle lines, they're drawn. I'll say it: Once again, it is time for choosing," Newsom declared during an inaugural address in front of the state Capitol to kick off his second and final term leading the nation's largest Democratic stronghold.
Though he didn't name names, Newsom's targets were obvious as he decried "small men in big offices."
He chose Jan. 6 for his inaugural ceremonies to mark the second anniversary of the violent attack by Trump supporters on the U.S. Capitol, and he's spent the past year decrying Republican Govs. Ron DeSantis of Florida and Greg Abbott of Texas. At one point, he called out politicians who "demonize Mickey Mouse," a reference to Florida's ongoing battles with Disney.
"The ugliness that overflowed on January 6th, 2021, we know this, was in fact decades in the making — fomented by people who have a very different vision of America's future," Newsom said.
Newsom's remarks, reminiscent at times of a campaign stump speech, came after he led a march alongside his wife and four children through downtown Sacramento to the Capitol. The sun was finally out after days of relentless winds and rain pounding much of the state, with more storms set to arrive in the coming days.
As he pitched California as the nation's leading defender of freedom, Newsom touched only briefly on the state's struggles, including an unabated homelessness crisis, and offered few policy specifics for his second term.
California Republicans were quick to point out the state's challenges, including high energy and gas prices and the state's projected $25 billion budget deficit for the coming year.
"Now that California is facing a massive budget shortfall, these crises will only get worse unless the governor changes course and focuses on the issues facing our state. Texas and Florida are doing just fine on their own, and welcoming more Californians escaping our problems each day," Assemblyman James Gallagher, the chamber's Republican leader, said in a statement.
blah blah blah blah blah
and
Newsom gave few details on the specific policies he hopes to pursue in the four-year term. Broadly, he said his administration will support teachers in the classroom, work to expand health care for everyone and lower drug prices by making generic versions. California is working to make its own insulin to lower prices of the life-saving drug.
He made limited to no mention of the headwinds he faces with a projected budget deficit, which comes after a record surplus that gave him wide latitude to support ambitious policies. The projected deficit will limit what he can spend on and may force budget cuts. Newsom will offer his first glimpse at spending and policy priorities in a budget address next week.
Nor did he mention his upcoming battle with the oil industry. Lawmakers, at Newsom's urging, launched a special session to consider a fine on oil company profits.
Gas prices climbed above $6 per gallon in California last year, which was well above the national average.
The potential budget deficit in particular may force Newsom to turn more of his attention back home if he hopes to maintain the strong support he's so far enjoyed, said Sarah Hill, a professor of political science at the California State University, Fullerton, who focuses on state politics.
"If he still is sort of playing this national stage while the state is hurting fiscally and they're having to make cuts, I don't think that will play well," she said.

Jones received command of Bonhomme Richard from Monsieur Gabriel de Sartine, the French Minister of Marine, in the spring of 1779, but it took several months before she was ready to sail. Besides refitting the merchant vessel as a man-of-war, Jones had to supply her armament, select his officers, and recruit a crew. After having suffered from a rather toxic relationship with his subordinates on his last voyage in the sloop Ranger, Jones was careful to select reliable officers for this command. Although his explosive temper and sparing praise at times grated on his subordinates, for the most part Bonhomme Richard’s officers respected his leadership and remained loyal to him.
Bonhomme Richard’s crew, on the other hand, was an altogether different matter. The sailors represented a variety of nationalities and languages, hailing from the American colonies, France, Scotland, Ireland, England, Italy, Norway, and even India. Perhaps unsurprisingly, they often quarreled among themselves, even coming to blows on occasion. Jones faced a scare early on when a group of Englishmen who had signed on to escape from French prisons plotted to kill the captain and seize control of the ship. When Jones learned of the plot, he dismissed over 100 English sailors and hauled the plot’s ringleader before a court-martial. The mutineer suffered 250 lashes with a cat-o-nine-tails. Although this was the most severe flogging meted out aboard Bonhomme Richard, it was not the only one. Later, when Jones returned from business on shore, he found the crew of his barge had abandoned him to get drunk in town. After suffering the indignity of begging local fishermen to row him to his ship, Jones had no mercy on the offending sailors. All 12 men felt the sting of the lash for their dereliction of duty, and this round of floggings seems to have convinced the rest of the crew that Jones intended to run a taut ship.
The Battle against HMS Serapis
On June 19, 1779, Jones sailed BONHOMME RICHARD from L’ Orient, France accompanied by ALLIANCE, PALLAS, VEGEANCE, and CERF. Their mission was to escort troop transports and merchant vessels under the convoy to Bordeaux, France, and cruise against the British in the Bay of Biscay. Forced to return to port for repairs, Jones’ squadron sailed again on August 14, 1779. Going northwest around the British Isles into the Northern Sea and down the eastern seaboard of Great Britain, the squadron swiftly took 16 merchant vessels as prizes. On the evening of September 23, 1779, they encountered the Baltic Fleet of 41 near the English shore of Flamborough Head. Sailing for England, the Fleet was under the fleet of the newly built frigate, HMS SERAPIS (50 guns)and the small sloop of COUNTESS OF SCARBOROUGH (20 GUNS).
To offset the SERAPIS’ speed, Jones lashed his flagship alongside and continued the fight long after his subordinates regarded the situation as hopeless.
Burning, sinking, and scattered with the dead and wounded, BONHOMME RICHARD lit up the darkness with a constant barrage. Jones struggled to keep his vessel afloat and, in one instance, an overwhelming number of prisoners in hold threatened to rush the deck to save from drowning. Jones defied all odds and continued the fight against Captain Pearson’s SERAPIS.
In the final hour, BONHOMME RICHARD’S mast was hit above the top-sail. Along with her Colors, a large section of the mast came crashing to the deck near Jones’s feet. In response to the downfallen colors, SERAPIS called out, “Have you struck your Colors?” Resoundingly, John Paul Jones exclaimed, “Struck Sir? I have not yet begun to fight!”With newfound will, his crew delivered decisive blows from all sides and aloft. Jones’ sent 40 Marines and Sailors into the rigging with grenades and muskets.
Decimated, SERAPIS could not avoid defeat and at 2230 she struck her Colors. Victorious, John Paul Jones commandeered SERAPIS and sailed her to Holland for repairs. Sadly, on September 24, 1779 at 1100, BONHOMME RICHARD sank never to rise from her watery grave.
This epic battle was the American Navy’s first-ever defeat of an English ship in English waters! Rallying colonial hope for freedom, Jones’ victory established him to many as “The Father of the American Navy.”

House rules changes breeze through the chamber following a bitter speaker fight
January 9, 2023
Updated January 9, 2023 at 7:33 PM ET
The House of Representatives has approved the rules package for the 118th Congress in a near party-line vote, in what marked the first legislative test of newly elected Speaker Kevin McCarthy's narrow GOP majority.
Republican Rep. Tony Gonzales of Texas joined all Democrats in voting against the package.
Negotiations on the rules package were central to McCarthy's dramatic and prolonged bid for House Speaker. McCarthy was able to secure the gavel by brokering a deal to win over a block of holdouts in the far-right faction of his conference.
Perhaps most notable among McCarthy's concessions was allowing just one lawmaker to force a vote on ousting the speaker.
Gonzales, the lone GOP dissenter, had expressed concerns about cuts to defense spending, and said the one-member threshold on a motion to vacate the chair could lead to "nightmare after nightmare"for House Republicans.
Georgia Republican Rep. Andrew Clyde, a McCarthy holdout who eventually flipped his vote for speaker last week, praised the motion to vacate during debate on the House floor Monday night.
"By restoring this historic rule, every solitary member has the authority to hold the speaker accountable for following all of the rules," he said.
Part of the brokering surrounding the speaker's elections also included commitments to cut government spending, according to lawmakers involved in negotiations.
The full written agreement has not been made public. But it's clear that key provisions could empower the conservative wing of the party and ultimately weaken the office of the speaker.
Among the key rules changes conservatives won are:
Just one member to sponsor a motion to remove the speaker, instead of requiring a majority of either party. McCarthy had resisted this change, instead seeking a compromise that would require five members to advance the motion. But conservatives noted the threshold had historically been one member, until Democrats voted to change it under then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi in 2019.
The establishment of a "Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government." The subcommittee is expected to investigate what conservatives see as the politicization of the FBI and DOJ.
72-hours notice before voting on a bill.
The deal also makes a path for massive spending cuts
Rep. French Hill, a McCarthy ally who was involved in negotiations, told reporters the framework sets an "aspirational goal for domestic discretionary at fiscal year 2022 levels," but does not include specific budget caps. The FY22 budget was approximately $1.5 trillion.
Fiscal conservatives have long been pushing for spending restraint. But the agreement has raised concerns about cuts to the defense budget.
Rep. Chip Roy, one of the initial McCarthy holdouts who negotiated the agreement, said it would set a "top level spending mark."
"What we're doing is setting top-level spending marks – $1.471 trillion — now go figure out how to spend your money," Roy told reporters Friday. "That's how you operate at home. Why do it any differently? The American people are tired of writing endless blank checks."
In order to curb spending, House Republicans will seek to advance 12 individual government funding bills each year rather than one large omnibus package. Raising the federal debt limit will need to be accompanied by measures to cut spending, according to the framework.
"We don't want to agree to a debt limit, you know, without some sort of a control mechanism, budget reform, spending reforms," Hill said.
The government is supposed to hit the debtceiling by this summer.
And it makes room for more conservative representation on committees
Members of the conservative House Freedom Caucus are expected to gain seats on key committees like Rules and Appropriations thanks to the deal.
"The agreement centers on making sure that all the standing committees of Congress are reflective of all of the viewpoints inside our conference," Hill told reporters.
Roy said on The Mark Levin Show on Sunday that McCarthy agreed to appoint conservatives to the powerful Rules Committee. "We're now going to have conservative representation on that committee," Roy said. "Now we can help control that we get good bills to the floor and advance conservative bills for the American people."

'Babies continue to die': Fisher-Price finally admits its defective sleeper has killed 100 BABIES after executives ignored safety warnings for a DECADE and only recalled it after 30 died
January 9, 2023
The Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced that Fisher-Price's recalled Rock 'n Play Sleepers have now been connected to the deaths of 100 infants. The product was first recalled in April 2019 after reports of infants rolling from their back to their stomach or side while unrestrained in the sleeper. Approximately 4.7 million units were affected by the recall but since 2019, an additional 70 fatalities have been reported. A government probe in 2021 found the company ignored studies saying the product was unsafe before it was released in 2009. It then ignored repeated warnings until the product was finally recalled in 2019. Just some of the babies who died are seen here, clockwise from top left , Savannah Lynn Savage, James R. Weigand III, Emma Richter, Alexander Thompson and Ezra Overton.

Why didn't AG appoint special counsel for Biden when he appointed one for Trump? Merrick Garland kept revelation that classified docs had been found quiet before midterms - and afterwards appointed 'hitman' to go after Trump
January 10, 2023
Classified documents were found at the offices of Joe Biden's think tank in Washington DC on November 2, and Biden's attorneys alerted the DoJ
On November 18, the Justice Department announced that Jack Smith had been appointed as a special counsel to investigate Trump's classified storage
The National Archives and Records Administration in May 2021 first contacted Trump's team to request the return of the presidential papers
The first tranche of documents were removed from Mar-a-Lago in January 2022, and officials later learned some were classified - and alerted the DoJ
Now some are calling for Biden to be investigated by a special counsel, and asking why one was not appointed for Biden at the same time as Trump
Joe Biden's handling of classified information should be investigated by a special counsel, a former advisor to Donald Trump has said, after it emerged that Biden, like Trump, was found to have kept classified documents after leaving office.
Biden's documents, 10 files with the contents unknown, were found on November 2 inside the Washington DC office of his think tank. The president said he was unaware of their existence until the Justice Department on Monday announced the files had been handed over, and an investigation launched.
Trump's documents, which included some 300 pages deemed classified, were found in January 2022 at his Mar-a-Lago home. Officials from the Justice Department and National Archives and Records Administration were in talks with Trump's team for months to agree a hand-over, but the discussions ground to a halt and in August the DoJ took the extraordinary step of launching a raid on Mar-a-Lago to seize the files.
On November 18, special counsel Jack Smith was appointed to investigate the saga of the Mar-a-Lago classified documents - and Trump allies are now demanding Biden be subjected to the same scrutiny.
'Special Counsel. Now,' tweeted Stephen Miller, special advisor to Trump.
Jenna Ellis, who was part of Trump's legal team trying to overturn the 2020 election, tweeted: 'Biden's DOJ is reviewing Biden's classified docs? Maybe should checks notes consider a special master.'
Podcaster Steve Hilton, who served as an advisor to British former prime minister David Cameron, said that Biden's actions were worse than Trump's.
He did not say why, but vice presidents, unlike presidents, are not able to declassify documents.
'Joe Biden's theft of classified documents is clearly worse than anything Trump has been accused of,' he said.
'If Merrick Garland doesn't pursue Biden with at least as much ferocity as he's pursuing Trump, we'll know that Equal Justice Under Law is dead: killed by hyper-partisan Democrats.'
Yet others insisted that Trump's storage of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago was a more serious crime than Biden's.
Dan Pfeiffer, a former senior advisor to Barack Obama, tweeted: 'Team Biden found the documents, immediately contacted the archives, and returned them.
'Trump and his lawyers repeatedly deceived authorities and did everything possible to avoid returning them.
'These are not the same thing.'
Joyce Vance, a former federal prosecutor, agreed.
'Big differences between this & Trump's Mar-a-Lago situation: they were found in an office setting, not in Biden's home,' she said.
'Biden's team immediately volunteered news of the discovery to the Archives & turned them over immediately. It's apples to oranges.'

"not the same" "apples and oranges'
Correct, not the same. The VP had zero authority and using that lame 4ayem talking point won't make this go away. Not anymore. Also. POTUS docs were in a SCIF, still not apples and oranges.
Isn't that an inconvenient truth.. anon is unopposed to an asteroid.

That's a rather broad denial
"Daily Beast reported that Virginia Giuffre, claimed in depositions in 2016 that Maxwell directed her to have sex with former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, Britain’s Prince Andrew (whom she has accused before), wealthy financier Glenn Dubin, former senator George Mitchell, now-deceased MIT scientist Marvin Minsky, and modeling agent Jean-Luc Brunel, as well as “another prince,” a "foreign president," a well-known prime minister" and the owner of a “large hotel chain” in France."
