HASTA LA VISTA RECALL! Cal RNC Scams Cal Republicans Again!
California’s Mono-Party System Strikes Again, Again and Again!
By Paul Preston, AENN
Once Again the California Republican Party Scams California Republicans with a bait and switch recall scam. California Republicans thinking all money raised by the recall Newsom effort was going to be used to fund the recall Newsom effort are now finding out the money was used to self fund the Cal Republicans and the Democrats “anti-Newsom” effort.
Now the double down: Assemblyman Kevin Kiley reports from his blog:
On his website Kiley gives the details:
We’ve just learned Gavin Newsom and the Legislature will ram through a new law, AB 152, to give him total control over the date of the Recall vote. That this is unsurprising doesn’t make it any less chilling.
Newsom and his enablers are changing the rules for his own Recall in the middle of the game. They cheat in plain sight then wonder why people lack trust in our elections.
So far, they’ve delayed the vote using a corrupt law from 2017. For instance, they added six weeks to bully people to withdraw their signatures. (The number who chose to do so: 42. That’s less than the number who will win the Newsom Vaccine Lottery.)
Newsom thought his best chance was to put the vote off until the state “opens.” Now he’s decided waiting too long presents other risks. So he’s changing the law to set the election exactly when he wants.
Now the mono-party legislature is running a bill to kill the recall. I’m sure AB 152 will be signed by the dictator himself in the next few days. After all they need to give the “appearance” of a real “democratic” legislative process. No need for a “republican” form of government when you have a “dictatorship”.
From the New California State Grievance 60, Chapter 2:
“California State Government Violates the Following:
United States Constitution Article IV Section 4
“The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government, and shall protect each of them against invasion; and on application of the legislature, or of the executive (when the legislature cannot be convened) against domestic violence.”
So much for the U.S. Constitution.
HEARD ON THE TOM/TOMS

BIG STORY
MONEY FOR THE RECALL FROM THE DEMOCRAT PARTY AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
Cal Access reports the following donations to the Anti-Recall Newsom effort by the California Democrat Party
Cash: $750,000
Non Monetary (in kind) $563, 925
From the California Republican Party:
$125,000 donation to Rescue California
$60,000 in non monetary contribution (in-kind)
They also spent $65,000 on polling, digital ads, “infrastructure” and opening a single office in Little Saigon (Orange County), which may actually be an office of the RNC or NRCC for the congressional races. (the $65,000 came from money raised via the Internet for the Recall).
But the $185,000 actually came from the Republican National Committee, not money raised by the CRP.
The California Republican Party has been raising money from the Internet to “remove” Newsom. Yet the Board of Directors has not approved a budget item for the Recall, no separate account has been set up to collect and spend money on the Recall. For $25 the CRP will make you a “Founding Member” to Recall Newsom (actually it has already qualified and thousands of people worked to make that happen.
The question now being asked “where did the money go to Recall Newsom sent by donors to the CRP”. Answer: It goes to the General Fund to pay salaries and overhead—including the quarter of a million dollars a year to Chair Patterson. And after a year of fund raising, $65,000 actually raised by the Party, went to the Recall.
TALKING POINTS
- How did the public see Arnold Schwarzenegger by the end of his term as Governor? This is the man who started the process of closing down the California Republican Party by turning away supporting, belittling it and using policies only a Democrat could love. That is why we are at 24% registration today—who wants to be part of a Party that still looks to Arnold—who endorsed Hillary in 2016 and Biden in 2020, as a leader?
From Politico, 6/4/21:
HASTA LA VISTA RECALL? — “Another Arnold in this California recall? Would it even matter?” by Garry South, senior political advisor to former Gov. Gray Davis, in the Hill: “By the time his seven-year governorship came to an end, Schwarzenegger was widely viewed by Californians as a bullying, blustering, bragging buffoon, a caricature of his Terminator persona, with his job approval ratings in the 20s.”
- When Elon Musk decided to build a $5 billion battery factory in Nevada, California lost well paying jobs and tax revenues. Now thanks to Musk being in Nevada, another firm is building a factory in Sparks—near the Musk operation. Thanks to Newsom and the Democrats great jobs and tax revenues are going to Nevada. They win, we lose. From Tech Crunch:
Battery recycling startup Redwood Materials, which was founded by former Tesla CTO JB Straubel, has purchased 100 acres of land near the Gigafactory that Panasonic operates with Tesla in Sparks, Nevada. The company is trying to create a circular supply chain by collecting the scrap from consumer electronics companies and battery cell manufacturers, processing these discarded goods by extracting materials like cobalt, nickel and lithium that are typically mined, and then supplying those back to Panasonic and other customers
- He forgets he was “dating’ a Chinese Communist SPY. His security clearance needs to be taken and maybe an indictment.
From California Playbook: “QUOTE OF THE DAY: “I hope Trump supporters who fear Big Brother see that Donald Trump was the biggest brother we’ve ever seen in our country.” — Rep. Eric Swalwell, to CNN on revelations the Trump administration subpoenaed his phone data from Apple.
- Adam Schiff forgets he used phony dossiers, created in part by the Russians, to smear President Trump.. How close was he to the Russians? His hoax caused an Impeachment, trial and waste of national assets. Maybe he should be investigated for his relationship with the Russians? From California Playbook:
ICYMI — Adam Schiff calls for investigation after report of his phone records being seized by Trump DOJ by POLITICO’s Myah Ward: Rep. Eric Swalwell of California confirmed on Thursday that he was the second committee Democrat whose records were seized, telling CNN that he was notified by Apple.
