Editor,

Gov. Newsom is a rich hypocrite that must be recalled. On Nov. 6, 2020 – before Pfizer or Moderna vaccines were rolled out – and while Newsom mandated masks and social distancing of the public, Newsom was photographed at the French Laundry Restaurant not wearing a mask, indoors, rubbing elbows with rich medical field lobbyists.

Mr. Brown - thank you for the informative Recall Newsom letter. I’d like to add a few more King Newsom highlights: tremendous increases in crime, especially violent crime in Democrat-controlled cities; the release of thousands of inmates into the CA wild; gas taxes and prices rising – seemingly every week; sending elders infected with COVID back their nursing homes to kill more elders; ineffective lockdowns which killed the CA economy; continuing to fund the boondoggle train-to-nowhere; idiotic fire, water and electricity policies turning CA into a third-world state; the continuation of spending taxpayer dollars to fund non-Americans. Vote YES on the recall.

Are your figures adjusted for todays dollars or are you saying that George W had half a billion dollars 250 years ago?

JME

These figures are all derived from 24/7 Wall St.'s 2016 valuation of each president's peak net worth. For purposes of 24/7 Wall St.'s valuation, a president's peak net worth may occur after that president has left office.[13] To allow for a direct comparison, all of the figures have been adjusted for inflation to 2016 U.S. dollars.

JME,

Thanks, I thought that was the case but I appreciate the clarification. Of course we know how Trump lies and inflates his value so I would guess 2 billion if he is lucky, but that is a story for another day.

Bumbling Biden losing Afghanistan and leaving tens of thousands of Americans and Afghan allies behind enemy lines – priceless. Stolen elections have consequences.

Terence,

Other than an obvious malfunction of your tinfoil hat, what does Afghanistan have to do with the recall of our great Governor Newsom?

Terence Y

My dear Taffy, I’m just following the lead of your response to JME so instead of your usual tinfoil hat shtick, you may want to re-read your comment before asking a hypocritical question. Meanwhile don’t forget to vote YES on the recall and for Larry Elder as our next governor. Thanks in advance.
