Effort to Recall Gavin Newsom is Underway

It's time for Newsom to go.

A recall attempt to knock California Gov. Gavin Newsom out of office is underway as he faces sharp criticism for his handling of the Los Angeles wildfires -- with opponents labeling his leadership a "series of catastrophic failures."

Organizers against Newsom vowed to file papers in the next two weeks in hopes of jumpstarting the process that could lead to the Democrat's ouster in the middle of his second term in the governor's mansion.

The state chief executive -- along with Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass -- is fighting for his political life as the wildfires have torched more than 40,000 acres (62.5 square miles, almost three times the size of Manhattan), destroyed more than 12,000 structures and killed at least 24 people.

"Under the reign of Governor Newsom, living in California has become impossible for average people through years of poor policies which have increased the costs of living, increased crime, increased drug use and homelessness, increased the cost of burden [sic] on small businesses and communities, while decreasing our professional standards, education standards, the disappearance of billions of taxpayers' dollars to failed pet programs, and our public services," one recall organizer, Randy Economy, said in a statement.

"This was most recently demonstrated by the woefully unprepared and incompetent response to the fires currently ravaging the Los Angeles area."

He told Newsweek on Monday that plans for a recall were in the works before the wildfires started, but the chaos has "shortened our time frame and changed things."

A notice of intent needs to be filed first and then recall supporters must collect about 1.3 million signatures in five months, according to the outlet.

Justine Bateman, who I did not guess would be my favorite political influencer in 2025, is directing people to where they can find a paper recall petition to sign. (It has to be on paper, not an online signature.)

Megyn Kelly says that her "woke" California friend is telling her that everyone there is ready to do the unthinkable: Vote Republican.

For some reason, Newsom decided to smile and shoulder-shimmy like a whore while dodging questions about what exactly he's doing to prevent future fires.
