Gavin Newsom's X feed is awesome

Well the US literacy rate was 79% in 2024, so this may be part of the problem.
Well, we're talking about California here, in the 2022-23 school year, 53% of California students failed to meet the English Language Arts standard on the CAASPP test, and an estimated 28% of adults struggle with basic English literacy.

Just another priority that should be addressed by that governor, but isn't.

Sounds like a problem across the entire USA. Maybe there should be something that tackled education across the whole nation... Maybe a department or something. Oh, right...

I do note that some of the Press Office (@GovPressOffice) posts are 'signed' "GCN". I don't know if that means Newsom personally wrote them -- it seems doubtful.

I think it does mean he personally reviewed it before posting and is taking attribution in the same way that he might speak the words written by a speechwriter.

Trust me, it's a California problem. It ranks 47th in the nation when it comes to basic literacy, with 28% of all adults in the state being considered illiterate--which is second only to New Mexico (another state dominated by democrats).

I love how he nails it - the issues of the day summed up with such clarity.
And when Fox try to attack him for it - there's a vast difference at play.
Gavin can turn it off in a second - he's just having fun.
But Fox's guy? He can't help it. That IS him!
This is such an ironic twist in American political strategy!


What’s ironic is that you’re critical of Fox but then proceed to post a video from MSNBC. MSNBC is the Fox of the left.

The 79% literacy rate is among the whole US population. It's not a one state issue or a partisan issue, even though you keep wanting to make it one.
And if you want to make this a partisan issue, Louisiana and Mississippi round out the bottom.
More accurate would be to say that it seems to be a geographical issue (northern states Vs southern) and perhaps a measurement issue as well actually. I've gotten some mixed results looking into it, so perhaps it varies, but in some cases it seems that the measurement is done purely for English, which might explain some things.

If the standard is that low for earning their keep, it shows just how wasteful the California state government really is with the taxpayer's dollars.
Y'know, it seems odd to me that the same people who praise Trump for "owning the libs" now complain about Newsom (or whomever) doing the exact same thing to MAGA. Almost sounds like a double standard, huh?

-- A2SG, I guess some people don't like a taste of their own medicine.....

You think the "libs" now own Trump? They can't even keep their own party together. They obviously can't even come up with anything original, but need to resort to childish mockery for them to feel they've "won". But whatever. Open a social media account, write some mockery and post some memes and claim to win. Meanwhile, president Trump is president because the democrats LOST. Their current behavior is a demonstration as to why.

Well, the Governor Newsom Press Office account seems to be doing a good job of it.

Um, there is no "lib" party. The Democratic party, though, is still together, even though some have voiced disagreement with the direction of the party. Nothing new there, though, Democrats have often voiced disagreement with the direction of the party.

Yeah, I agree the Governor Newsom Press Office account has aped Trump's style of childish mockery pretty well there.

Um, Trump didn't run against Governor Newsom, just so you know. As far as I know, Vice President Harris has nothing to do with this twitter feed.

-- A2SG, and literally no one is disputing the results of the most recent election......

Of showing that Trump is under the governor's skin? Yep!

Too bad the reasonable ones aren't being listened to. Their constituents voted for Biden as their candidate, and they get Kamala forced upon them. Looks like democracy only applies to everyone else, but not the top of the party that uses/abuses the word.

And have thereby admitted that Trump's ways are a winning strategy. Too bad Newsome's office isn't good on delivery though.

Of course not! They want to forget what she's said and done that caused them to lose the election. So now they want to focus on the winner (the honorable President Donald J. Trump!).

I dunno, it looks to be the other way around, I'd say. Gov. Newsom sure seems to be having fun with the whole thing.

Too bad the reasonable ones aren't being listened to.
That's usually the case in politics. Heck, the GOP hasn't listened to a reasonable person since Trump got on board.

Their constituents voted for Biden as their candidate, and they get Kamala forced upon them. Looks like democracy only applies to everyone else, but not the top of the party that uses/abuses the word.
I didn't think either one of them would have been my first choice, but that's how our system works, and has worked for generations. But there was nothing undemocratic about the previous election; Vice President Harris still faced the voters in the general election, which is more than can be said for former President Gerald Ford.

And have thereby admitted that Trump's ways are a winning strategy.
Well, with a bit less than half the electorate, anyway. And that support seems to be waning....not that it matters, though, since Trump can't run for office again. I just wish someone would tell him that, he seems unclear on the concept. Then again, he often seems unclear on many issues involving the Constitution.

Too bad Newsome's office isn't good on delivery though.
I dunno, the X account seems to be doing the intended job pretty well. But I guess it all depends on which side of the mockery you're on.

Of course not! They want to forget what she's said and done that caused them to lose the election. So now they want to focus on the winner (the honorable President Donald J. Trump!).
Few presidential candidates have much of a political career after losing a bid for the Oval Office, so nothing new there. Can you name two things about Wendell Willkie, for example?

-- A2SG, without googling him, that is.....

At first I was sceptical - but wow - you are correct! Genuinely - thank you. I'll stick with my much loved "The Conversation" and other sites listed as least biased. This was a bit of a let-down. (That YouTube Algorithm knows how to suck us in hey?)

1756353463826.png


Associated Press (whom Trump hates) scores least biased and HIGH - but The Conversation scores unbiased and VERY HIGH so I'll stick with them for most deep dives. Least Biased

I love our Australian ABC - sure they use some loaded terms - but they're kind of trying to entertain and compete in an incredibly toxic marketplace so I'll forgive them that. ;)

Laughing about his fake ear wound.
Are you claiming the shooting was also fake, along with the firefighter that died?

He can have all the fun he wants laughing about attempted political assassinations and people dying. Let's see how hard he's laughing when it all comes back to bite him later. He's clearly a short-term thinker.
I wonder if he'll get around to having his Press office post satirical memes about Christian children being shot in Minneapolis, reasoning that if they're Christian they must be future MAGA voters. From what I've seen so far, it wouldn't surprise me. Let's see if he has any wisdom at all.
