** CA Flood Victims Outraged Over Newsom’s Broken Aid Promises
------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------
Breitbart News reports ([link removed]) that residents of Pajaro, California, a flooded community in Monterey County, are furious at Gov. Gavin Newsom ([link removed]) (D) and President Joe Biden ([link removed]) for failing to deliver the federal disaster aid that was promised earlier this month.
A levee that had not been improved in decades broke during storms and caused a large area of the Pajaro Valley, where many of the nation’s vegetables are grown, to be flooded. Newsom promised $42 million in relief aid — but it turned out that the aid had been signed into law years earlier by President Trump as part of coronavirus relief, and only $300,000 was available. Worse yet, the $300,000 was not specifically for flood relief, but was available in the form of $600 for farmworkers.
Relief workers vented ([link removed]) their frustration last week at Newsom’s apparent broken promise.
Now, the situation is even worse, according to ([link removed]) the San Jose Mercury News, as residents recall Newsom promising that the president had promised him “an ‘immediate response’” to the state’s request for a federal disaster declaration. But the state had not yet provided that response, because they had yet to identify 1,200 homes that had suffered major damage. Many of the residents of Pajaro are currently homeless.
The Mercury News reported ([link removed]) :
“They let us down,” said Monterey County spokesperson Nicholas Pasculli. “We’re still waiting on the presidential emergency declaration that was promised to us over a week ago. Governor, please pick up the phone and call the president and ask him to have empathy for the suffering of people in Pajaro. Ask him to sign the declaration.”
…
When evacuation orders are lifted, residents won’t be going back to the same Pajaro they left. There is still no potable water or working sewer system in the town, and about 400 buildings — nearly half of those in the town — were damaged by the flooding, according to a preliminary damage assessment by CalFire.

** Accusing “Authoritarian” Republicans of Promoting “Grievance and Victimhood”
------------------------------------------------------------
On January 5, 2023, Newsom used his second-term inaugural address ([link removed]) at the California state Capitol to accuse Republicans of “promoting grievance and victimhood, in an attempt to erase so much of the progress you and I have witnessed in our lifetime.” He further charged that GOP leaders were now openly venting their “long-dormant authoritarian impulses ([link removed]) ” to “prey upon fear”; passing laws that “make it harder to vote and easier to buy illegal guns”; “selling regression as progress” while promoting a “rising tide of oppression”; and striving ([link removed]) to “silence speech, fire teachers, kidnap migrants, subjugate women, attack the Special Olympics, and even demonize Mickey Mouse.”
