No, this isn’t a Babylon Bee Headline. It’s from a Newsom post on X. Grok created the image.
New Executive Order
“NEW: Just issued an Executive Order that will allow victims of the SoCal fires to not get caught up in bureaucratic red tape and quickly rebuild their homes. We are also extending key price gouging protections to help make rebuilding more affordable.”

Nearly 4 million people viewed this Newsom Nonsense. How many caught the red tape irony, two of them actually?
The first is obvious: The state of California has numerous roadblocks and red tape on getting nearly anything done for environmental reasons. So Newsom has done nothing but pledge to cut his own red tape.
The second is that “price gouging protections” are guaranteed to cause delays because lumber and services are going to be in short supply.
So, as Newsome promises to cut some red tape (and we will see about that) he’s putting up other red tape in the form of “gouge protection”.
Expect more red tape to follow in the form of a price gouging swat team.
Protection of Illegal Alien Arsonists
Meanwhile, please note the Governor will spend $50 million to protect illegal immigrants from deportation.
California State Representative, @J_GallagherAD3, James Gallagher Posts on X
“At a time when California should be laser focused on responding to the devastating wildfires in LA, Democrat lawmakers’ priority is creating a $50 million slush fund to hire government lawyers for hypothetical fights against the federal government and to defend criminal illegal immigrants from being returned to their home countries. The disconnect between what Californians need and what Democrats are focused on is astounding.”
Please note some of those to be protected are arsonists.
Protecting Arsonists
Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin, @BillMelugin_ writes: “Per ICE sources, the man seen in a viral video being subdued by residents & arrested by police w/ a blowtorch near the #KennethFire in West Hills is an illegal alien from Mexico named Juan Manuel Sierra-Leyva. He is in custody on a probation violation & has NOT been charged w/ arson. I’m told ICE will place a detainer request on him with the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department, but they do not expect it to be honored due to California’s Sanctuary State law. I’m told Sierra-Leyva will have a court appearance tomorrow. Again – he has not been charged w/ arson and is in custody only on a probation violation at the moment, as multiple agencies have been interviewing him.”
