(WND)—Echoes of the American Civil War were heard this week in the governor’s press room. California Gov. Gavin Newsom has called a special legislative session to take the first steps to secede from an America led by Donald Trump. California will be kept free of Washington-imposed slavery.
Of course, in the political verbiage of the 21st century, the session will “protect California values” such as “fundamental civil rights, reproductive freedom, climate action, immigrant families and more.”
These things, the governor declared, are threatened by the election of Donald Trump.
The first step of this special legislative session will be to “shore up California’s defenses against an incoming federal administration that has threatened the state on multiple fronts.”
Apparently, he has in mind secession from the union. But first, some more rhetoric:
“The freedoms we hold dear in California are under attack – and we won’t sit idle.” And then Newsom borrows from Winston Churchill: “California have faced this challenge before and we know how to respond. We are prepared to fight in the courts, and we will do everything necessary to ensure Californians have the support and the resources they need to thrive.”
He does not mention what constituted the previous challenge, or how a vote of the American people threatens residents of California, but he involved California’s attorney general, who declares, “No matter what the incoming administration has in store, California will keep moving forward.”
The governor’s handout also involves Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas, quoted as saying, “I’m ready to fight harder than ever for opportunity, equality and a Golden State that works for each and every resident.” Completing the great wall of California is a similar endorsement from State Senate President Mike McGuire with a declaration that “We learned a lot about former President Trump in his first term – he’s petty, vindictive and will do what it takes to get his way no matter how dangerous the policy may be. California has come too far and accomplished too much to simply surrender and accept his dystopian vision for America.”
So much danger and so little time.
The first duty of this special legislative session is to issue public statements. What President Trump says will be refuted. The special session will focus on women’s rights and LGBTQ+ rights. The special session will appropriate more money to the attorney general to file litigation against the Trump administration.
Once would surmise from Newsom’s press release that he already has rescued California from the dark ages: “Since 2019 Governor Newsom and the California Legislature have defended progress, expanded civil rights, and protected California values.” One wonders how the Golden State survived from the gold rush days of 1849 to the coming of Gavin.
His bragging points to sustain his modest appraisal of his accomplishments then cite 25 legislative bills and $200 million consumed to “protect reproductive rights” and $45 billion spent on climate change energy policy. That is, by the way, a gross understatement of the state’s climate expenditures.
With the change in administration coming in Washington, D.C., Newsom suddenly has discovered states’ rights, so much so he is one step away from secession. In fact the similarities are so strong, Newsom studiously avoided the race issue in this media blitz.
The announcement had to be covered by local media, and so Newsom was able to campaign against Donald Trump even before Trump assumed office. Setting aside the issues Newsom raised, the Democrat Party is not going to consider any policy changes or moderations. They are right on all issues. The Republicans are not only wrong, they are repugnant, and the voters, well, they screwed up, partly because freedom of speech was not corrected by the managers of “mis” and “dis” information.

What Would You Do If Pharmacies Couldn’t Provide You With Crucial Medications or Antibiotics?
The medication supply chain from China and India is more fragile than ever since Covid. The US is not equipped to handle our pharmaceutical needs. We’ve already seen shortages with antibiotics and other medications in recent months and pharmaceutical challenges are becoming more frequent today.
Our partners at Jase Medical offer a simple solution for Americans to be prepared in case things go south. Their “Jase Case” gives Americans emergency antibiotics they can store away while their “Jase Daily” offers a wide array of prescription drugs to treat the ailments most common to Americans.
They do this through a process that embraces medical freedom. Their secure online form allows board-certified physicians to prescribe the needed drugs. They are then delivered directly to the customer from their pharmacy network. The physicians are available to answer treatment related questions.
We no longer want to be ruled by Marxist Democrats and have Greasy Newscum as governor. A large part of California is traditional and can stand the crazy Dems.

They really are beside themselves in the land of fruit and nuts! Trump could promise them billions if they just cleaned up the streets of San Francisco, and that nut job would refuse because it was Trump who offered…That Newsom guy is a real head-shaker. It’s no wonder, the’ sane’ people outside the coast and the bigger cities are leaving in droves. They have been enslaved by the “Loonie Toons” left for decades, with no hope in sight, and with the required tribute payments rising ever more frequently. It’s no better in Oregon or Washington State either. So sad!
Congress needs to rescind California’s statehood as it no longer has a “republicsn form of government and revert it to territorial status and put it directly under federal administration.
Break it in 3. Northern California, Imperial Valley and Coastal California where the majority of the whackadoodle leftist are. Re-admit the first 2 and make any new constitution for the third subject to 2/3 approval by both houses of Congress.
Newsome is a Nuisance
NewSome is OldNothing
Newsome is Gruesome
evil is not NEW and is botherSOME
if a democrat governor doesn’t want support from feds on immigration…don’t give it to them…let them stew in the shite hole of their own making until their citizens force them out…what happened to gascon will happen to newsom eventually, but until californians wake up….they have to pay the price
Let them secede. Just let all those CA-based businesses know that if they stay in CA, any patents they may have will be forfeit since they’re not part of the US any more so they are no longer protected by US law.
Oh please, please, please,,please please give southwestern California to Mexico, New England States, Minnesota, Washington state, and northern Oregon to Canada…exit Stage Left. It’s like the trash taking itself out. Give the decent people a window of time to get out, then build a wall around those hell holes and require a VISA to get into America….then deny the visas.
No really. Newsom & Co are freaking out and bluffing because they are worrying that Trump will send in an army of forensic accountants to find out where 100 billion in California and federal tax money went.
Ridiculous. If Cali did secede successfully, the CCP would swoop down on them in a New York minute. They’d forget all about Taiwan. So stupid to even consider such a thing.
Born raised alway will call my home

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS IT ALL
Sounds like a win/win. What can we do to help them in this worthwhile and well deserved endeavor?
When is RED California going to secede from blue California?
“he’s petty, vindictive and will do what it takes to get his way no matter how dangerous the policy may be.”
Sounds like Newsom to me.
California has used two tools from the US Constitution very effectively, Federalism and nullification. Sanctuary cities are 100% constitutional.
Republicans can do the same. Mississippi actually did this with abortion laws and the litigation made it all the way to the Supreme Court, who then struck down Roe v Wade.
