  My prayer is that Gavin Newsom will be a dishwasher at the French Laundry in 2028.
  The election results, both presidential and state wide, should have shown Newsom and all his cronies that thier woke policies, dictator type leadership, failed programs, and wastefull spending are not what the public wants.
  Newsom is so arrogant and must think that he’s doing a great job here in California that he could be president.

  WASHINGTON  — One week after Election Day, control of the U.S. House rests on just over a dozen races where winners have not yet been determined.
  Nine states have at least one uncalled House race, some of which are so close they are headed to a recount.
