The poll, which was conducted by the Public Policy Institute of California, found that just 11 percent of Democrats in the state said that they would vote to recall Newsom if the special recall
The massive spend-a-thon, which includes $12 billion for homeless services, $5.2 billion for rent and utility assistance, and additional $500 payments for low-income families including illegal immigrants comes with Mr. Newsom on the cusp of a recall, a factor that did not go unnoticed by his political opponents.
“In my lifetime, Democrats never voluntarily return money to the taxpayers, so let’s call it for what it is: It is a recall rebate,” California state Senate Minority Leader Scott Wilk said in an email.
The recall campaign amassed 1.7 million signatures, well above the 1.49 million required to place the first-term governor on the ballot. But the still-unscheduled special election is likely months away, giving Mr. Newsom plenty of time to win back voters who are steamed over his job performance, including his strict coronavirus lockdowns.

So we are now seeing just how fringy and extremist the delightful QAnons in our midst really are. They certainly appear to have a creative relationship with the truth. But, heh, who cares about the truth anyway? Isn’t it what the extremist California Patriot Coalition is telling us? They will pay to have 11,000 signatures collected for the recall of Supervisor Linda Parks, so beware.
But we are left to wonder just who is behind this ridiculous effort? My guess is a bunch of QAnons and malcontents that don’t wish to follow health laws (that just might save their lives.)
