Remember a couple of months ago when Joe Biden was overseas and
Gavin Newsom sauntered into the White House like he owned the
place, jacket slung over the shoulder oh so casually, TV cameras
in the perfect place to capture the moment he opened the door
and entered the president’s private lair?
Quite some chutzpah.
Immediately, tongues wagged that he was there to “measure the
drapes,” which was exactly the point.
The Californian governor is being presented as the pretty face
to lead a new generation of moderate Dems and their best hope to
hold the White House.
In this scenario, a doddering Joe Biden would be shuffled off
before his term ended, so Kamala Harris could grab the mantle —
hurrah! — as the first black woman president, at least for a few
months, and Newsom could set himself up as VP with a rails run
into the White House in 2024. At 54, this distant relative of
Nancy Pelosi fancies himself as the “youth ticket” to beat
Donald Trump.
But not so fast.
Independent transparency non-profit Open the Books has dived
deep into California’s finances to unmask Newsom’s backers and
the destructive policies they foster, like misguided criminal-
justice reforms which have driven crime rates around the nation.
The Newsom section of the Open The Books report, exclusively
provided to The Post, is a fascinating glimpse into the
ecosystem of liberal political elites that is ripping this
country apart and shows how millions in donations to Newsom’s
campaign have resulted in billions of dollars worth of contracts.
After a 10-year battle to unlock California’s secretive
checkbook and almost 450 open records requests with every state
agency, Open The Books discovered that Newsom’s donors often are
richly rewarded for their largesse with grants to their
foundations and massive tax credits to their companies. Newsom
“solicited roughly 1000 state vendors for $10.5 million worth of
campaign donations, and those companies or affiliated companies
received $6.2 billion worth of worth of state payments last
year,” says CEO and founder Adam Andrzejewski.
His woke quartet
At the center of Newsom’s Berkeley/Bay Area cheer squad are four
very rich women whose twin obsessions are climate and criminal-
justice reform: Patty Quillin, wife of billionaire Netflix CEO
Reed Hastings; Quinn Delaney, wife of real-estate mogul Wayne
Jordan; Kaitlyn Krieger, wife of Instagram co-founder Mike
Krieger; and Elizabeth Simons, daughter of hedge-fund
billionaire James Simons.
The woke quartet poured $22 million into progressive criminal-
justice ballot measures and progressive DAs over two years,
according to Politico.
They spent almost $4 million just to elect far-left Los Angeles
County District Attorney George Gascón, who has brought misery
to the lives of so many Californians. They opened their Hermes
purses again to defeat two recall efforts and keep him in office.
Open The Books has itemized their contributions to support
Gascon and his policies.
From Quillin $1.65 million, from Simons $725,000. Delaney gave
$448,000 to the Real Justice PAC, which supported Gascón, and
Krieger gave $206,500.
The Kriegers founded the Future Justice Fund, whose goal is to
end “mass incarceration” because it is racist to put black
people in jail. Delaney and Jordan founded the Akonadi
Foundation, which is dedicated to “ending the criminalization of
black youth” and “supports the development of powerful social-
change movements to eliminate structural racism and create a
racially just society.”
Akonadi donated $28,200 to Newsom’s reelection. Delaney donated
$122,200 to Newsom’s re-election; Jordan donated $89,800 and
separately donated $100,000 to the Million Voter Project Action
Fund Committee to Oppose Newsom Recall. But the state of
California has reciprocated some of this generosity.
For instance, Simons donated $123,200 to Newsom’s reelection,
and her private-equity guru husband, Mark Heising, matched it
with another $123,200.
California gave back with a grant in 2021 to their Heising-
Simons Foundation worth $262,502.40 via UC Berkeley.
Quillin donated $123,200 to Newsom’s reelection. Hastings
donated $94,000 and another $3 million into a fund to fight
Newsom’s recall. Netflix employees and executives donated
$69,150 to Newsom’s reelection. Netflix, Inc. Federal PAC
donated another $5,000.
Lo and behold, Open The Books found that the California Film
Commission looked kindly on Netflix when it came to allotting
tax credits. Netflix received more than twice as much in tax
credits as did any other company ($60 million in the allotment
reported in February 2022).
It’s nice to live in a nepotistic state where the media gives
you a free pass. But if Newsom plans on stepping up to the big
stage, the Open The Books scrutiny is just a taste of what’s to
come.
Bragg’s off target
Alvin Bragg refuses to lock up murderous thugs but he’s more
than happy to weaponize the law to strike a political enemy of
the Biden administration like former Trump adviser Steve Bannon.
In the middle of a violent crime wave in this city, Bragg’s
priority today is to indict a resident of Washington, DC.
Open letter, closed minds
Shame on the never-Trumper former Pentagon leaders who signed an
open letter they must know plays right into the Biden
administration’s inflammatory election narrative that Trump
voters pose some existential threat to “democracy.”
The letter, which alludes to the January 6 Capitol riot, has
been carefully written to be opaque, bordering on incoherent.
But the 13 signatories know perfectly well that whipping up
“MAGA fear” is the Democrats’ only strategy to stave off a
wipeout at the midterms.
The fact that the letter was organized by Duke political science
academic Peter Feaver, a fevered Trump-hater and mentor of
General “Thoroughly Modern” Milley, makes its intent clear.
Special criticism is due signatory Leon Panetta, the liberal
Californian congressman turned-Obama CIA director and defense
secretary who previously also signed the “Dirty 51” letter from
51 ex-intelligence officials framing the Hunter Biden laptop as
Russian disinformation before the 2020 election.
Some on the list should know better. Others are beyond
redemption.

Campaign finance reform is long overdue. Our elections are
ridiculously drawn out. How about ZERO dollars allowed for
campaigning? Hold a series of formal, televised, taxpayer-
funded presentations and debates over only the six months prior
to election day. Saves money and time.
