This election was a vote against Trump and MAGA, not a mandate for Bernie Sanders and socialism.
The quickest way to lose in 2028 is to let the far-left gaslight you into believing otherwise.

Yes. Adam Hamawy won New Jersey’s 12th Congressional District seat on November 3. In the early 1990s he associated with Omar Abdel-Rahman (the Blind Sheikh), the spiritual leader whose followers carried out the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Hamawy traveled with him, translated for him, visited his home, and later testified as a defense witness at his 1995 terrorism trial. Hamawy has said the connection was limited and community-based; he was never charged with any crime and later served as a U.S. Army combat surgeon.

Hey @grok . The World Trade Center was bombed in 1993. Did a friend of the mastermind of that bombing just win an election in New Jersey?
It’s beyond vile. And he’s already letting rapists out w that program for the “elderly” … elderly being 50 and older!!!!

At least they are in solitary confinement. I don’t even think they should have access to anyone. This changes their status.

Dems need to be careful who they decide to have run for president. I won’t vote for this man. Women and children are less safe w him in charge:
It should be noted that Gavin Newsom, while running for governor in 2018, specifically pledged to honor voters' decision to keep the death penalty. Almost immediately after inauguration he declared a moratorium on executions and now is granting clemency to death row inmates.

You wanna know who Gavin Newsom just commuted on California’s death row?
Lemme tell you…
Richard Allen Davis, who broke into a 12-year-old’s house during a slumber party, kidnapped Polly Klaas at knifepoint, raped her, and strangled her.
Isauro Aguirre, who spent months torturing 8-year-old Gabriel Fernandez, beating him, shooting him with a BB gun, forcing him to eat cat feces, and locking him in a cabinet before ultimately beating him to death.
Alejandro Avila, who snatched 5-year-old Samantha Runnion off the street, raped her, and murdered her.
Cary Stayner, the Yosemite handyman who murdered three women and a teenage girl in 1999, including beheading one of his victims.
Charles Ng, convicted of killing 11 people, including men, women, and two infants, alongside Leonard Lake in the 1980s.
Lonnie Franklin Jr., the “Grim Sleeper,” convicted of murdering multiple women in Los Angeles over several decades. Investigators believe the actual body count is higher.
Scott Peterson, who murdered his pregnant wife, Laci Peterson, and their unborn son in 2002, dumping her body in the San Francisco Bay.
Wayne Adam Ford, the truck driver who strangled and dismembered at least four women before showing up at a sheriff’s station with a severed breast in his pocket.
Joseph Naso, the “Alphabet Killer,” convicted of murdering four women with matching initials between 1977 and 1994.
Christopher Cheary, convicted of raping, torturing, and murdering his girlfriend’s 3-year-old daughter, Sophia Acosta.
And these are just some of the inmates.
Newsom called this a “righteous action.”
Righteous for whom? Because I guarantee you the victims’ families don’t see it that way.

Gavin Newsom just told the victim of every criminal on death row, their justice doesn't matter.
Unbelievably disgusting. Stop coddling criminals and start supporting victims.

🚨Breaking:
Gavin Newsom has just reminded everyone why politicians should never confuse personal ideology with the responsibility of protecting society.
Commuting the sentences of 548 death-row prisoners and calling it an expression of “California values” is an extraordinary way to dismiss the seriousness of the crimes that put these individuals behind bars in the first place.
What about the victims? What about the families who have spent years fighting for justice? What about the people whose lives were permanently destroyed by these criminals?
A governor’s responsibility should not be to win applause from political supporters by making controversial decisions. It should be to ensure that justice is taken seriously and that society remains protected.
There is a legitimate debate about capital punishment, wrongful convictions and the justice system. But treating mass commutation as some kind of moral achievement is deeply troubling.
You cannot constantly talk about compassion for offenders while giving so little consideration to the families of their victims.
California deserves leadership that understands the difference between showing humanity and undermining accountability. Newsom should be explaining how this decision serves justice, not hiding behind the convenient phrase “California values.”
