Okay, folks, strap in, because the level of cope in California is reaching critical mass. The Dem candidates trying to fill Gavin Newsom's fancy shoes just had a debate, and guess what? They all gave him passing grades on...wait for it...homelessness. Yeah, you read that right. The same homelessness that's turned San Francisco into a biohazard zone rivaling a Superfund site. California's primary election is scheduled for June 2, where the top two finishers advance to the general election in November regardless of party affiliation.

We're talking about Katie Porter, Tom Steyer, and Xavier Becerra, all bowing down to King Gavin, hoping for that golden endorsement. Meanwhile, Republicans like Steve Hilton and Chad Bianco were probably choking back laughter, because the cognitive dissonance is so thick you could spread it on toast. Newsom isn't running again, but you better BELIEVE these guys are after his approval like moths to a flame.

Let's get real: California has a homeless population that's bigger than some small countries. The California State Senate Housing Committee says 161,400 people were homeless on any given night in 2024. That's up from 108,400 in 2019, when Newsom took office, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. So, basically, he's made it worse. Congrats, Gavin!

They've chucked around $20 billion (that's BILLION with a B) at the problem between 2019 and 2025, according to the California Budget and Policy Center, a left-leaning think tank. Where'd that money go? Probably lining the pockets of consultants and funding 'studies' that conclude we need...wait for it...more money! It's the grift that keeps on grifting.

Porter, the self-proclaimed 'tough grader,' gave him a 'B'. A 'B'?! Is she serious? Maybe she's been spending too much time in DC. Steyer, the billionaire trying to buy his way into office, gave him a 'B-minus.' At least he's being slightly less delusional. But Becerra, bless his heart, actually gave Newsom an 'A' for effort. Because, you know, showing up in Los Angeles and pretending to care is totally the same as solving the problem. slow clap

Hilton, the sane one in the room, gave Newsom an 'F', which is the only reasonable answer. He pointed out that California has 10% of the US population but 50% of the homeless. That's not an accident, folks. That's a policy choice.

Remember that time DeSantis trolled Newsom with the 'poop map' showing all the human feces on the streets of San Francisco? Good times. Good times. Nothing says 'progressive paradise' like a city covered in human waste.

So, what's the takeaway? California is a dumpster fire, the Democrats are too busy sucking up to Newsom to notice, and the only hope for change is to vote these clowns out. Drain the swamp, California edition.

But hey, at least the mountain lions are doing well. Newsom's got his priorities straight.
