In the latest edition of "Where's Gavin Newsom and Why Should We Care?" The California Governor, who is insistent he is not running for President of the United States, decided to post to X from a plane to... somewhere.

I’m on my way to Israel.

I’ll be meeting with those impacted by the horrific terrorist attacks and offering California’s support.

He's grinning all the way down to his Manolo Blahniks, he's so proud. As one commenter on the tweet notes, charity really should begin at home before it spreads abroad.

It's almost laughable how all these US politicians can find their ways to Israel, but they can't find their way to the small towns, inner cities, and southern borders here in the United States to witness all of the crisis and destruction that are a result of their policies.

When was the last time Newsom bothered to visit the southern border? Especially since part of that border runs through California. In that vein, did he even bother to visit San Bernardino last March to assess how the heavy rainstorms and blizzard caused deaths and affected these California mountain residents? Not really. Governor Hair Gel had more important matters on yet another vacation, this time to Cabo San Lucas. Only after the carnage did he come back to officially declare a state of emergency and travel the short 400 or so miles southeast to assess the damage.

People affected by a blizzard that rocked California and has so far left 12 dead and more stranded and without power with finally get some federal assistance.

California Governor Gavin Newsom, who spent part of the disaster and its fallout in Mexico, has officially declared a state of emergency for the area, which includes San Bernardino, Humboldt, Mendocino, and Placer counties.

Sounds about right. Sadly, the carnage has already been enacted against Israel and continues. Totally on brand, Newsom is Johnny-come-lately, as well as transparent in his envy. You see, his nemesis, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has already grabbed the spotlight, as well as upped his presidential creds, for doing what the federal government has been failing miserably at: getting people out of Israel safely.

What help, exactly, does Governor Homeless have to offer? The fifth largest economy is experiencing a 32 billion dollar deficit, gas prices are through the roof, and the state is still shedding residents. It's terrible, and despite the roughly 1.2 million Jews in California, I suspect the last thing they are saying is: What this Israel-Hamas War needs is intervention from Gavin Newsom.

Yet, here we are.

What Newsom did not reveal in that hurried tweet is that Israel is just a pit stop on his way to... you guessed it... China.

Newsom met with Israeli President Isaac Herzog, ahead of his trip over to China to discuss policies to curb global warming.

Newsom's bailiwick: global warming (and more China kickbacks, no doubt) is the main priority. Israel just happened to be a convenient photo op. But, ahead of Newsom's scheduled debate with DeSantis, he has to get the attention back on him and one-up DeSantis somehow.

Mission accomplished?

Thank you Governor of California @GavinNewsom for your visit of solidarity to Israel. We will never forget our friends who stood by Israel in our most difficult times. pic.twitter.com/r3UZWrv7pL
