Gavin Newsom Hit With Embarrassing Anniversary Reminder As 2024 Shadow Presidential Campaign Continues

Over the past couple of years and as rumors have swirled about whether Joe Biden would be on the 2024 presidential ticket, California Gov. Gavin Newsom has been purposely positioning himself as a viable alternative. But Newsom hasn't and says he won't declare, deferring to Biden and claiming that he's all in for the Biden-Harris 2024 campaign, even though his every move suggests the opposite.

This month is the 20th anniversary of Newsom's 10-year pledge to end homelessness, something he vowed to do as mayor of San Francisco in 2003.

As Newsom took over following the 2003 San Francisco mayoral election, the then-mayor-elect said that December he intended to "aggressively" make ending homelessness in his city his administration's top priority.

The plan involved a 10-year strategy to end chronic homelessness with "tens of millions" of federal dollars in funding to create 550 "supportive housing" units for the troubled homeless, SFGate reported at the time.

Fast-forward to December of this year and the announcement of that strategy is now two decades old. San Francisco, along with the rest of California, is far from solving the problem. In fact, the growing homeless population has become a central issue in California's political debate.

As the saying goes, though, facts don't care about your feelings, and in this case, the facts about California's homeless crisis definitely do not care about Gov. Hair Gel's feelings.

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson Facing Ethics Complaint Over Failure to Disclose Income

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is facing an ethics complaint over alleged failures to disclose details about her income. A conservative group filed the complaint, bringing these allegations to light.

Yet, the mainstream press has almost completely ignored the story even after a laser-like focus on Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’ alleged ethics violations. Jackson’s complaint centers on her alleged failure to disclose her husband’s income.

The conservative Center for Renewing America expressed the complaint in a letter to the Judicial Conference. The complaint alleges that Jackson did not report some of her husband's income for more than a decade. The letter urges the group to refer the matter to Attorney General Merrick Garland to begin an ethics investigation. The letter claims that Jackson "repeatedly failed to disclose that her husband received income from medical malpractice consulting fees."

The crux of the matter lies in the rules mandating that justice disclose any income exceeding $1,000 under the Ethics in Government Act of 1978. The group notes that while she disclosed two of her husband’s clients in 2011, subsequent filings did not include this information. During her 2020 nomination to the court, the justice acknowledged that some of her husband’s income had been “inadvertently omitted” in prior disclosures.

If the media were truly concerned about ethics among members of the Supreme Court, they would have focused on both stories and given equal attention to other justices regardless of their ideological leaning.
