Where Are the $750 Millions Tiny Homes
Newsom Promised?

Original Article

Posted By: Mercedes44, 8/27/2025 6:26:07 AM

In March 2023, California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) stood in front of cameras and made a bold promise: 1,200 taxpayer-funded "tiny homes" would be deployed across the state by that fall to combat the exploding homelessness crisis. The cost? A staggering $750 million from California taxpayers. However, as we approach fall 2025, neither the 1,200 homes nor any trace of the $750 million can be found. This is California under Democrat control: big promises, bloated budgets, and nothing to show for it.

Gee, California under dem control sounds a lot like the Federal government under dem control. How about those EV charging stations, hummm? We knew they were full of bad ideas but dems have also become synonymous with incompetence, even for their own causes. As long as we keep the results contained within the dem states, that's OK. If they like hitting themselves on the head with a hammer, why should we interfere with their enjoyment. Conservatives in those states can move. Sorry guys.

Maybe China purchased the land where Newsom and the leftist Democrats said they were going to build the tiny homes?

It's California. Money for the homeless is always looted. Never goes to them. It goes to leftist bureaucrats and "non profits". When they're done lining their pockets maybe a few Pennie's that fell to the side in the mad pig rush at the public trough might accidentally slip through to someone homeless.

I'm sure this will be a headline in all of the California papers and lead the newscasts...or, the usual liberal news mantra of: ''If we don't report it, it didn't happen.'' That's known as 'Lies by Omission.' It's what they do.

$750 million, you ask? Could be just a rounding error of the $24 billion in total homeless funding that's gone unaccounted for.

The $750million was probably a cost estimate rather than money sitting there, ready to be spent.

Is the math correct? $750,000,000 divided by 1200 tiny homes = $625,000 per home It must be the gavin-based math.

That comes out to $625,000 per tiny home. A typical level of democrat graft and fraud would be for a democrat controlled "nonprofit" to sell the state 1,200 single wide mobile homes at a profit of over $500,000 per home. It is a testament to the years of complete democrat control of the state and media that the dems feel safe in just taking the money.

No worries, it's just taxpayer dollars, they know there's more whenever they want it and know how to get it. They will appeal to those gullible liberal white college educated women who don't seem to see they're being gaslighted and lied to. Besides, most mobile homes would be less than $100,000 each. You could use used ocean containers (8 x 8 x 40') for roughly $10,000 before adding a few windows. They never want to solve the problem just find the funding sources so they can hire a bunch of government employees first who would be tasked with finding a few crumbs to dole out.

The amount of taxpayer money that democrats have stolen at both the state and federal level is beyond comprehension. Not one of their programs have ever come to fruition without money disappearing. And one of the biggest culprits is probably Gavin Newsom. Nothing in California ever gets done yet the money disappears. When it comes to money the man is a magician. And democrats keep voting these thieves back into office. Says a lot about the democratic voter.

$750,000,000 for 1200 homes is more than $600,000 per tiny home. Wonder if greasy slimey narcissistic governor has some off shore LLCs? Bet some democrats got some healthy bonuses. And maybe contractors. Ridiculous.

Trump’s Crime Crackdown After Brutal
D.C. Assault

White House Correspondent Iris Tao publicly thanked President Donald Trump after revealing she had been robbed and pistol-whipped outside her apartment in Washington, D.C. “Mr. President, thank you so much for what you’re doing right now,” Tao said. “Thank you for now making D.C. safer for us, our families, and my baby on the way.” Her comments come as Trump’s federal crime crackdown continues to show results. As of this month, violent crime in the nation's capital has dropped significantly following Trump’s deployment of federal resources and direct coordination with law enforcement. Repeat offenders are being prosecuted, gang activity is being dismantled, and high-crime areas are seeing a return to order.

President Donald Trump said Tuesday that his administration will seek the death penalty as punishment for murders committed in the nation’s capital. Trump revealed the plans to pursue the death penalty in D.C. homicide cases during the White House Cabinet Meeting on Tuesday. If somebody kills somebody in the capital, Washington, DC, we’re going to be seeking the death penalty. And that’s a very strong preventative, and everybody that’s heard it agrees with it,” he said. “I don’t know if we’re ready for it in this country, but we… have no choice.” Trump added that states will have to make their own decisions on the matter.

South Korean President Lee Jae Myung said his staff was worried that his meeting with President Donald Trump might result in a “Zelensky moment,” adding that he studied Trump’s book, The Art of the Deal, before the pair met Monday in Washington, DC. Lee’s arrival to the White House came just hours after Trump described the political turmoil in South Korea as a “purge or revolution,” writing on Truth Social that the United States “can’t have that and do business there.” The pre-meeting post was in response to tensions building in South Korea following the ouster of conservative former President Yoon Suk-yeol,

For all his Trump-deranged bravado, Democrat Senator Adam Schiff, the notorious Russia-hoaxer, looked like a frightened rabbit caught in the spotlight Sunday morning when he appeared on NBC’s “Meet the Press” to deny the mortgage fraud scandal that has embroiled him. He should be nervous. A grand jury in Maryland is weighing criminal indictments for Schiff over alleged mortgage fraud, mail fraud, bank fraud and false statements to financial institutions that were uncovered by the Federal Housing Finance Agency, claiming he certified both a Maryland property and a California condominium as his primary residence for tax and mortgage purposes.

The biggest, boldest lie of every welfare state is that the goods and services it is providing to its citizens are "free." Those of us with brain cells and an aversion to lying know that this is not only untrue, but also impossible. Politicians are fond of throwing taxpayer dollars around like drunk Kennedy cousins on summer break in Monte Carlo in order to make voters love them. Despite being full-throated advocates for "sustainability" when it comes to almost anything else, socialist welfare state types are committed to an economic system that simply cannot go on forever.

Once again, the issue of the U.S. and its linkage to slavery has reared its ugly head. This time, the debate was triggered by whether or not the Smithsonian Museum has a political agenda. Arguably, the institution’s interpretation of this ugly period in our history is delivered from a left wing perspective. The exhibits, by failing to tell the whole story about slavery, paint the picture of a sin that, but for the existence of whites, would never have thrived; such a tale makes for revisionist history.

A New Word To Make Him Look Bad — ‘Sneakflation’

In July, inflation came in lower than expected, which “defied fears of further price increases as a result of President Donald Trump’s tariffs.” That’s been happening a lot lately. So, what’s a Trump–hating news media to do? Admit their fear-mongering was wrong? Or, invent a new term to make even good news sound ominous? Over the weekend, CNN Business ran a story headlined: “‘Sneakflation’: How Trump’s tariffs are gradually raising costs for American consumers.” The article admits that “inflation has remained relatively tame” this year. “To this point, consumers have been mostly shielded from starkly higher prices.”

We expect Russia’s Vladimir Putin and his top minions to soon regret their decision to make a fool of President Donald Trump. At their Alaska summit, Putin gave Trump renewed hope for a peace deal on the Ukraine war — but that’s now looking like Lucy setting up Charlie Brown for another football humiliation. After initially signaling openness to a meet, Sergey Lavrov, Putin’s foreign secretary, just dumped yet more cold water on any chance for a Putin sitdown with Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky. Bloviating on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Lavrov announced, “There is no meeting planned,” and none will happen without advance agreement that fits Putin’s “presidential agenda.”

In Los Angeles, the problem of tent encampments has persisted for almost 20 years. They began to pop up after city officials settled an American Civil Liberties Union lawsuit in 2007 by agreeing to stop enforcing a ban on sitting, lying or sleeping on the sidewalk. More lawsuits, settlements and court rulings led to the entire city and much of the state becoming the site of homeless encampments on sidewalks, streets, freeway embankments, overpasses, underpasses, median strips, parks, parking lots, public plazas, beaches,

The deranged gunman who slaughtered two children and injured at least 17 others who were attending morning mass at a Catholic school in Minneapolis has been identified — as a disturbing video believed to have been posted by the shooter shows “kill Donald Trump” and “for the children” scrawled on gun magazines. Robin Westman, who is in his early 20s, opened fire through the stained glass windows of Annunciation Catholic Church during a celebratory back-to-school Mass filled with children, around 8:30 a.m. Wednesday. Police are investigating whether a series of sick YouTube videos shared on an account hours before the shooting was connected to Westman, law enforcement sources told The Post.
