Arnold Schwarzenegger Comes Off the Bench
With a Big Warning to Newsom on Gerrymandering

Original Article

California Gov. Gavin Newsom had an embarrassing rally on Thursday to promote his push for redistricting in his state to help the Democrats. In addition to not having many people at the rally, Newsom was also upstaged by the Border Patrol making arrests nearby. He flipped out, assuming it was meant as a message to him. He was also upset that someone sent him a "Trump 2028" hat, which he claimed was evidence that President Donald Trump was going to run again. It was a festival of Trump Derangement Syndrome on display.

Thank you, Arnold! I had forgotten the Independent Redistricting Committee was one of his reforms. The last few days I'd been wondering how California was ever blessed with such a law. TK and I attended one of their public meetings during the Tea Party days. It was standing room only. More people are getting fed up with the disastrous results of Dim governing. The Palisades and Altadena fires woke up many sleepwalkers. I believe MAGA is California bound! MCGA - Make California Golden Again

Not much love for Arnold in the comments section at Red State, and I'd bet the same would be shown to former Speaker Kevin McCarthy, the other prominent figure entering the fray. These same commenters would show the same impatience toward California Independents who oppose Gavin on Westunt, no doubt. But it's those Independents who will smack down this Gavin circus. They resoundingly oppose his move, and most remember voting for the present law. Twice, I think. We complain about libs and Dems who never come to their senses, and we complain about Republicans who do.

The Arnold quote I cite most often is "It's not a tumor!" from Kindergarten Cop. But in the case of California, Newsom is a tumor which has metastasized and caused massive damage to the state and needs to be cut out. If only Californians had enough sense to seek the necessary treatment.

It's really fun to play with your food before you gobble it up. Newsom has proven to be particularly sensitive to exposure as a poseur and he is easy to trigger with nonsense. Really, an anonymously sent Trump 2028 hat is all it takes. We should send him some "Space aliens are coming for YOU!" hats and see how he responds. Of course, most Leftists are easily triggered but they don't have easy access to the public stage to demonstrate how stupid they are. It is also funny that the media, if they were clear thinking, would realize what an embarrassment Newsom is and look for more vibrant and realistics images to support Leftism. Yet, they can't seem to do that. Big theater is more important to them than robust content and, of course, the pickings are rather slim for Leftists that can do more than rant.

It's one thing to want to add a bunch more Dem districts in CA. But it's a minimum of $200 MILLION to actually put the special election for it on a ballot and see if the voters want it. Gavin might think thru how all that cash could be better spent than on a publicity stunt.

Gerrymandering is wrong on so many levels, including pronunciation. (Eldridge Gerry was pronounced with a hard "G".) Gerrymandering is preemptive corruption of the voting process to secure advantages for one party or group, and it's fundamentally un-american no matter who does it. I hope Schwarzenegger does come out fighting against it. I would be perfectly happy to start from scratch and lay an honest automatic grid across the country that drew simple squares of various sizes containing the requisite voting populations until all the edges touched. Tweak it around the edges as needed. I'm sure a clever computer programmer could make such a program and make it completely honest. I don't know which party such a program would benefit more, and I don't care. However, as with all things involving the Democrat party, preemptive corruption has already happened. Republicans either redistrict along partisan lines to correct that corruption, or they lose. It's another of the many ways Democrats ruin this country: They force us to to do things that make us more like them to--partisan and unprincipled. And that I will not forgive.

Those here who are remembering "the governator" fondly should recall that he endorsed Kamala Harris for President less than a year ago. Is that someone you really want to rely upon to be the face of opposition to Gov. Hairgel now? If I were a voter in CA, I wouldn't.

This is great news! The CA Republicans will be led ny men with power and guts. In the past they tried to rely on Tom McClintock, a cipher who was sure in his own safe gerrymmandered district, He only cared about himself, had no policies,formed no alliances. Except for his vote he was useless. He may be dead now. He seemed to be then. Arnold saved the siate from crooked Gray Davis (recall) and Cruz Bustemante, the Dem replacement candidate, who represented the Mexican faction that promoted the erroneous belief that CA still belonged Mexico. You go, Arnold!!!

Re #12, I read his "endorsement" at X. His take on Trump was wrong, as was his take on Kamala. His take on Gavin is right on and his advocacy for the redistricting commission is as well. His track record in CA is very strong as the showed in the past that he could gain support across party lines. There is also a large No Party Preference voter faction (not called Independents in CA) that went his way in the past. Thanks for your sincere concern, but he'll be fine.

#15: Well, if you live there, it's your problem and your prerogative. Good luck with that. If you will recall, however, in 2006 he folded like a cheap suit when faced with a spendthrift Assembly that had no intention of going on the spending diet he had in mind. [And that's one of the reasons CA is now $20 billion in debt in a state with a state constitution that demands balanced budgets.] To be fair to the governator, any governor in that spot would have been in a real bind. He couldn't stop a veto override, but he should still have publicly opposed the Aseembly and he could have begun a statewide crusade against all of them and campaigned against the re-election of each and every one of them. Instead he tucked tail, served out his term, and faded away. I don't call that leadership. Cowardice is more like it.

The state is BROKE. Running billion dollar deficits with no end in sight. They have massive expenses coming to cover their over-generous pensions (the $100,000+ per year folks are growing rapidly) which are paid FIRST, then they pay other obligations. So, yes, all sorts of programs will be cut to pay these pension obligations. Democrats are over represented in nearly every state in the country mostly due to gerrymandering. Even Rahm Immanuel agrees Illinois is gerrymandered which he help shape. There is no emergency in CA to warrant a special election they can't afford. Texas already had the precedent when Democrats pushed a redistricting in the mid-1990's which altered Control of the House of Representatives. Democrats can't win over people based on their ideas they need specially constructed districts.

I'm grateful to Arnold Schwarzenegger for a lot of things that have nothing to do with politics. Terminator 2 is a fantastic movie, for example. He also is an immigrant who, while bodybuilding professionally, was interviewed by Roger Ebert. At the time, Ebert noticed he was reading a book for his MBA class. And this in a second language he re-learned as an adult. At the height of his fame, he was buttonholed by a reporter about doing a promotion for national review, at that time still a conservative magazine and anathema to liberal journalists. Instead of turning tail, he leaned into it and said (insert governator voice here): "No, I don't worry about being a conservative reading National Review in hollywood. I like being one of the only people who knows what's really going on."

Newsom faces opportunities, risks with
redistricting fight

Posted by 4250Luis 8/17/2025 11:56:02 AM Post Reply
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) is leaning into the redistricting fight as he looks to build his national profile ahead of a potential 2028 bid, but the move comes with political risks. Newsom formally declared his plans at a rally Thursday to call a special election for November that would allow state lawmakers to redraw California’s congressional map in response to President Trump urging red states to do the same.The plan comes as Newsom positions himself as the most vocal Trump critic on the national stage — and amid speculation he’s planning to mount a White House bid in the coming years.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Sunday said the “best way” to end the war between Russia and Ukraine is through “a full peace deal,” but clarified that a ceasefire is “not off the table.” During an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” host Kristen Welker asked Rubio about President Trump’s past threats of “severe consequences” for Russia if it did not agree to stop its war in Ukraine after the president met with President Vladimir Putin last week, which did not end with an agreement on Ukraine. She noted that Trump is now asking for a broader peace deal after the meeting.

President Trump has proven once again why he’s the most effective advocate for American workers in modern American politics. He fully understands the threat China poses, and his administration is doing exactly what needs to be done to ensure American competitiveness. While strengthening our manufacturing, he’s also tackling trade diplomacy with China. Because President Trump knows we need both: to grow our ability to compete with China by manufacturing right here in the U.S. and also to pursue trade diplomacy that actually helps American businesses and consumers. The early signals of this effort are positive. For example, Ford’s $5-billion investment in car manufacturing, announced this week,

As my colleague Mike Miller reported, Hillary Clinton had a bit of a "flying pigs moment" recently, when she said that if President Donald Trump managed to pull off a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine, she would nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize. Chances are that she did that because she thought Trump can't do it. But still, she put herself on the hook for that, and may end up having to pay off. President Trump was amused that she said it at all, joking that he might have to start liking her again.

The embarrassing snafu revealed little if any sensitive security information — as most scheduled items on the agenda for the summit at the military’s Joint Base Elmendorf–Richardson were already public information — but went viral after being reported by NPR.

The U.S. Department of State announced Saturday morning that it was stopping a visa program that allowed residents of Gaza to enter the United States for "medical-humanitarian" reasons. This comes after videos of large groups of Gazans—often decked out in "Palestinian" flags and keffiyehs associated with the terror group Hamas—arriving at airports across the nation began popping up on social media in the last few weeks. According to this State Department tweet, the program is being paused while officials review the "process and procedures" that have allowed a stream of injured children from Gaza, often accompanied by several family members, into the country.
