Newsom is a Disgrace to the People in California

Drug dealers? The TOP TEN states that have the highest per-capita drug deaths are RED STATES.

High homeless population. Yep, high rents and home prices will do that. On the other hand, Mississippi has a very low homeless population, because rents are low because no one wants to live there.

Gangs? Well, I'm not sure how you measure that, but California has a lower violent crime rate than Texas and fourteen other states, and eleven of those are RED STATES.

Illegal aliens? Yep, but per capita, Texas has a higher percentage of undocumented immigrants than California.

According to the data, California is a much prettier picture than a lot of red states. Plus the $97.5 billion surplus. Plus the inexpensive insulin. David, your response to this will be data free. That's because you got nothing.

 I'll agree with you about one thing -because the Texas border is several times longer that the California border, and since brain dead Biden  and the worthless border czar Harris have not enforced the immigration law concerning the southern border, some 2+ million illegals have crossed the southern border, with many of them crossing into Texas. Violent crime rate is defined differently in California than in Texas - the criminals in California are given free passes for crimes that are prosecuted in Texas, all because the prisons in California became so over crowded that many criminals (that would not be released in Texas) were let out to do more crimes, for which they are not being prosecuted .Then there is this- of which 8 of the 10 are blue states - What states have the highest drug rates? States in the highest group) were Alaska, Colorado, District of Columbia, Maine, Massachusetts, Montana, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington  - Now we really know who has "nothing".

Someone whose Governor is Greg Abbott really shouldn't talk about other governors....

The answer to your stupid question is: those cities are not "over run."

I know conservitards secretly wish they could live in California, but they can't, so they make up "reasons" why it's such a terrible terrible place.

It's called "sour grapes."

      I am waiting for a sane, intelligent answer - and all I get is more of Lewis's play on words. Notwothstanding his current nonsense, California is just another DemocRat wasteland. 

Abbott got thousands of Texans killed because his presidential aspirations included spreading the message that covid was a liberal hoax. Newsom instituted protective measures that saved thousands of lives (and no one really gives a shit about where he had lunch one day).

Abbott did nothing while Texas electrical utilities malfunctioned, people froze to death, and many others got bills for $10,000. Newsom signed a bill to provide relief to families impacted by high energy costs.

Abbott is a shockingly idiotic prick who wants to be Trump's anointed successor and doesn't give a shit about anything else. Newsom is an actual governor.

And by some strange coincidence, Texas is a violent, crime-, drug-, and disease-ridden shithole that is slowly going broke even though its greedy mouth is fastened firmly on the federal tit, while California is a highly desired destination, has a booming economy, and just recorded a record budget surplus.

       More delusional lies and spewings from Lewis, as usual.

Uh huh. Nobody wants to live there, except the 40 million people who do.

And while I copied your idiot spelling error just to mock you, you should know that California isn't overrun by anyone. That's merely a Fox News fantasy repeated by Texans and other poor suckers, crying in their beer that they can't live in California.

  California is a liberal shithole and gets worst every day under DemocRatic governing.

With a $97b surplus that means taxes are to high & Ca should be decreasing their taxes.

Population is dropping as Ca has lost a congressional seat & people are continuing to leave.
