California Gov Gavin “Hair Gel” Newsom (with that winsome smile and those You can trust me, I’m not like the others” eyes) just did this after the passing of Dianne “I’d take all the guns if I had the votes” Feinstein.
I am still trying to get back into a blogging rhythm, so my apologies if things are not “smooth” just yet; please bear with me.
When Gavin Newsom chose Laphonza Butler to replace the Diane Feinstein as Senator for California he may have selected less as a person than a set of intersecting categories.”
Social Justice, Critical Race Theory, Childism, Eco-Socialism, Socialism, Communism, and Marxism (which encompasses ALL of the previous categories). They truly believe that you are only a Group – not an Individual. You are only as good as your Group and your Group is only as good as the current jumbling of all of the other competing Groups on the Progressive political Totem Pole.
Think I’m kidding?
Ask white, middle-aged gays who used to be at the top of the totem pole (right, Ray Buckley, head of the NH Democrat Party?) about the latest manifestation of the sub-sub-sub-species of Transgender micro-groupettes.

Did Newsom pick someone of a high level of Merit? Is she known for outstanding service to others of all ages? Does she at least live in the State that she is supposed to represent?
- Lesbian
- Black
- Union Organizer (the Communist-leaning SEIU)
- President of Emily’s List that raised money to kill unborn babies (and Planned Parenthood profited from – talk about “Profits over People,” eh?
Right race, right sexual orientation, a unionista, a baby killer. Check, check, check, and check. Oh, living in California upon appointment? Oopsies – Maryland. What, California didn’t have enough or the “right” people to check those boxes? Heh – Newsome really believes that Californians are the best, right (snicker)?
Checking the boxes means completing the required Venn diagram density – and Laphonza Butler checked them all. Well, almost – can she self-fund? Doesn’t matter, I guess. Want to find out more about her – The Atlantic (a VERY progressive site) has more details.
OK, she has merit. But would a white older guy with the same credentials have been tapped?
Really, you have to ask me that question?
Oh, as an aside, the picture of her is from her US Senate Page: https://www.butler.senate.gov/:
…appointed as a Democrat to the United States Senate on October 1, 2023, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Dianne Feinstein; took the oath of office on October 3, 2023
That was rather quick, wasn’t it?
