Newsom wants to be the Commander in Chief. As President he wants to send our soldiers into harm’s way, fight the battles for our nation. As a Governor, he is a wimp. He is afraid to light a Christmas Tree in public for fear Hamas terrorist supporters will object and rally against it.
If you can not stand up to a bunch of punks with mental conditions, how can he stand up to Putin and XI?

Gavin Newsom cancels tree lighting ceremony amid pro-Palestinian protests
The holiday celebration will be virtual after the governor’s office cited security concerns.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom canceled an in-person tree lighting ceremony at the state Capitol on Tuesday ahead of pro-Palestinian protests, citing concerns about the safety of children and families as the ongoing fighting continues to divide Democrats.
The cautionary move comes less than a month after pro-Palestinian protesters in Sacramento overwhelmed security guards and poured into the California Democratic Convention, forcing Democrats to temporarily halt their meetings.
Local Palestinian rights groups had planned to march on the tree lighting ceremony, with calls for a cease-fire in fighting that began following the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas on Israel.
A spokesperson for the governor said in a statement that the governor and First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom will hold the ceremony virtually and distribute a pre-recorded version Wednesday.
“As we continue to see protests across the country impacting the safety of events of all scales — and for the safety and security of all participating members and guests including children and families — the ceremony this year will be virtual,” the governor’s spokesperson said.
The California Highway Patrol, which oversees Capitol security, confirmed the cancellation to POLITICO but did not give a reason, referring questions to the governor’s office.
Once the governor’s event had been canceled, the Palestinian groups that organized the march obtained a permit to hold a 300-person demonstration near the site of the 67-foot-tall holiday tree, CHP Officer Paul Moos told POLITICO.
The Israel-Hamas conflict has sparked division within California’s Democratic party, with progressives increasingly pushing for resolutions in support of Palestinians. The issue has roiled liberal cities, including Oakland, where city council members last month declined to condemn Hamas and where, on Tuesday, teachers organized a “teach-in” criticizing Israel.
“Hamas is a terrorist organization,” the governor wrote on social media in response to the Oakland City Council vote. “They must be called out for what they are: evil.”
Newsom in October made a brief stop in Tel Aviv on his way to China to meet with Israeli officials and offer California’s support. The state is working to ship medical supplies to support humanitarian relief efforts in Israel and Gaza.
Let’s cut to the chase, Newsom is a coward and won’t do what is right. Light the tree.
OK. So now supporters of savage terrorists who want to kill all Jews plan to disrupt a tree lighting ceremony celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ.
Is it because Jesus was born a Jew?
Or is it because they agree with the jihadis’ plan to kill the Saturday people first and the Sunday people next?
Islamophobia means an irrational fear of Islamists. I think the fear ain’t so irrational these days. Islam has bred Hamas. So I fear Hamas supporters, who may after all be facilitating terrorism on our soil.
As has been said, this may be small on a world scale of terrorism, but rooted in the same wicked conviction that the path to attaining one’s end lay in slaughtering the innocent.
