Newsom pressured to give $360K reparations per
California Gov. Gavin Newsom is facing increased pressure to use his authority to unilaterally enact proposals that would dole out billions of dollars to Black residents in reparations as a way to make amends for slavery if the state legislature doesn’t act.
Interesting. My first thought is “can the governor unilaterally give away billions of dollars?”
The state wide proposal is a lot cheaper than the San Francisco proposal – it only wants to give away $360,000 apiece. Was $220K, but the upped the ante in view of inflation.
Now, California is already facing a $22,5000,000,000 shortfall., which some experts think is itself $7,000,000,000 too low. Note that California forecast a $100,000,000 surplus last year. An eighth of a trillion dollar swing in one year is a LOT, at least for my household budget. Note that the program as described would give away $640,000,000,000 to 1,800,000 Californians supposedly affected by slavery.
Dreisen Heath told Fox News Digital. “Governor Newsom has the authority to enact these recommendations, if they are in fact aligned with the entire descendant community’s wishes, following the issuance of the final report on July 1, and should do so, if state lawmakers fail to act.”
It’s worth noting that California was never a slave state… anyone want to bet whether that state will ask the other 49 to bail ’em out?

Something doesn’t compute. The number swing should be $22.6B (seems to be an extra misplaced 0) which is nowhere near an eighth of a trillion. California forecast a $96,000,000,000 surplus, not $100,000,000.
The shift between $100B+ to $22.6B- is close to an eighth of a trillion but the numbers above are all wrong.
When you fix them feel free to edit the above out.
Either way the state needs to give them all at least $5M each of they want to step up. Now isn’t the time to get weak knees.
My typing is at fault. But the original article says they went from projecting $100 billion surplus to $22 billion deficit, a $122 billion swing. Close enough to an eighth of a trillion for me.
Another step in forming the Imperium
“…1,800,000 Californians supposedly affected by slavery”
is corrected to
“…0 Californians affected by slavery”
Facts are facts
Okay, let’s think about this on a basic level.
How do the present black residents of San Francisco justify reparitions from not only the white residents of the citizenry of San Francisco, who probably had no ancestors who owned slaves, but but also the Asian citizenry, who for fucking SURE didn’t have any black slaves; um….justify this kinda shit…at all…I think this here is logic ull….
Once we clear the way for reparations for former slaves than we can then also give reparations to all the various peoples of Asia (mostly Chinese) whose ancestors were under paid labor building the railroads back in 1865.
Your right on track with the reparations for the Chinese track builders 5JC
For sure, they built the Central Pacific Railroad Right of Way through Donner Pass as well as other mountains!
A right of way cleared by Irish blasters. Hmmm I wonder where they acquired THAT particular set of skills…

A very underrated movie. Kind of a cross between “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly” and “The Wild Bunch.”
Oooooh the “cultural appropriation” not-sees ain’t gonna like this movie!
Yeah, well, Eli Wallach was a Jew from New York but his portrayal of Tuco Benedicto Pacifico Juan Maria Ramirez in “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly” was pretty damn good. Oh, and he did a good job as Calvera in “The Magnificent Seven” and that’s double cultural appropriation since that movie was a Western remake of Kuorosawa’s “The Seven Samurai.” Fuck it, a good movie is a good movie. So Rod Steiger playing a Mexican bandit doesn’t bother me one bit. Pass the popcorn, I’ll grab a couple of Yuengling out of the fridge.
No disagreement from me! You’re gonna need more Yuengling.
Maybe they should make a California currency, only usable in Cali, for the purpose. They could give each citizen $5 billion each. That should make them feel better.
That’s not a bad idea, they could peg it to the ZWR 1:1.
Way ahead of ya:
A hand up is not a hand out but this is a hand job.
Yes.
Trump received more than double the number of black voters of any Republican running for President since JFK. He promised jobs and delivered in a big way. This scared the shit out of the establishment Democrats. The lesson they learned was go big or go home with handouts.
It worked for LBJ.
And Democrats today deny LBJ ever said the things he did about blacks or felt any animosity towards them.

There are actual recordings….

Which should be used constantly in campaign ads, IMHO
To LBJ, blacks were just a political commodity.
A relative of mine was a witness to the “200 years” quip, and others. It’s worse than you have been told.
LBJ was a vile, abusive SOB.
I think I remember reading somewhere he referred to the blacks who worked in the White House as “furniture.”
Well, yeah. And yet somehow he escaped being stuck with the check for Vietnam. Somehow that became “Nixon’s War.”
Well, LBJ had a thing for African American prostitutes.
Johnson slept with everyone. He made JFK and Clinton look like choir boys.
Well, he always like screwing-over black people to get his jollies…
Another point of view…
A hand up is not a hand out but this is a fisting!
Do believe that commiefornia is running out of other people’s money to give away.
To quote our ninja’s favorite meme…”This is the dumbest f*cking thing I’ve heard…’ Give it time, ninja, the week ain’t over yet.
Well I guess if Mister Newsom really and truly wants give away California’s monies to the historically disenfranchised, he might want to also consider.. Looks like Gavin worked really hard on this one to insure his state becomes the full-on shit-sandwich he really thinks it ought to be…
Ahh, but they have all that casino money
Free Sh*t!!
Like I said in another post on this proposal, just the very suggestion of it was wholly irresponsible and idiotic. If it passes (which I still believe it won’t) it will lead to increased racial tensions or renewed violence at levels and extremes never seen before and if it fails to pass well… same rules will apply, albeit in the opposite direction. You’ll continue to see a once beautiful state further crumble and decay.
Shithole state run by complete fucking morons. I’m sure Commissar will be along shortly to defend this lunacy and parrot what a wonderful place it is.
I hope they experience a monumental hemmorhage of residents for this.
“I hope they experience a monumental hemmorhage of residents for this.” PLEASE don’t say that Deckie, that just means that other decent states will get an influx of libtards who will then shit all over their new state, and turn it into a leftist shithole as well. Colorado is a perfect example.
Yeah, this is true… sadly, they’re incapable of learning lessons, only attempting the same bullshit all over again somewhere else.
Agreed. The complete lack of critical thinking skills, as well as a total lack of self awareness means that they are incapable of realizing that THEY and their voting habits are the root of the problem.
Is not the state constitution modeled after the federal one in that the budget is proposed by the executive but only enacted if the legislature approves and funds it?
The executive order BS has gone a bit too far. Perhaps the legislators should redefine the authority of the executive branch.
Well that’s one way to piss of the other 83% of the country.
Vote buying 101.
What they will do is go broke paying this out and then demand the president make southern states bail them out.
And this from a Free State (no slaves) when it joined the Union in 1850. That didn’t mean that there wasn’t racism everywhere against PoC, but there wasn’t slavery.
And Noise-som want to give hush (reparation) money to people whose ancestors (in Kalifornication) weren’t slaves, and that weren’t slaves themselves?
Another data point in the proof that Regressivism is a mental disease. Severe, in Noise-som’s case.
Enough with the facts. It’s not about facts. It’s about feelings, as all progressive-liberal policies are.
“Facts are simple and facts are straight
Facts are lazy and facts are late
Facts all come with points of view
Facts don’t do what I want them to.”
Just got Talking Heads stuck in my head….
There is no end to the rampant stupidity in California, may the Jehovah’s Witnesses forever be on Gavin Newsom’s doorstep and I wish my ex-Wife upon him as well.
Damn…that’s cold-blooded!
Riddle me this. How does a state government pay out hundreds of millions of dollars when a state has no ability to coin/print money?
I heard you take the money from somebody else to give it to somebody you want to give it to.
Bailout from DC.
Tax
Borrow+tax
Outright confiscation.
My bet is that Newscum and the D-rats don’t plan on following through with that shit, it’s just a head game on the brainwashed.
It’s a gateway to more violence, the kind they love that only further destabilizes the country and divides its citizens.
It’s a talking point for the libs in the next election. Goes like this,”We wanted to give you what you were due, a million dollars each. But, you saw what happened, those EVILE White folks and Republicans refused to give you what you deserved”.
The sad part is that Californians are stupid enough to believe it even though Democrats hold supermajorities in the legislature and the Republicans can’t stop anything proposed by the Dems.
I thought most were already compensated after stealing alot of shit after the riots a couple of summers ago, that lasted into the next year?
Or was that Portland and Seattle?
(Can’t seem to keep it all straight…the liberal shitbaggery and all…)
And let’s not forget the multiple generations on welfare living in Section 8 and public housing.
I say go for it. California would be the greatest state in the union if it weren’t for Californians, so let’s price them all out.
Change the gun laws, and I’d move there today.
And you thought CA tax rates sucked now!
