This editor doesn’t follow racing, so he pleads ignorance to this event, although he thinks the Blackhawk helicopters look totally bada**.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth posted the video to his X feed, which inspired the clowns at the Governor Newsom Press Office to reply that all they want is lower gas prices.
Sir, we just want lower gas prices https://t.co/8IGWIpg2Fr

We don’t blame them, seeing how California has the highest gas prices in the country. If only they knew someone who could do something about it.
Sir, you are literally the Governor of California, have you considered doing something about your state’s insane gas taxes?

Have you considered not having the highest gas taxes and most burdensome regulations in the country? https://t.co/Sw6Slkuw77

Well then stop taxing us to death. California has the highest gas prices in the country even before Trump was in office. This is completely on you and your lame policies.

You could do a lot to help with that. How about you suspend the CA gas tax for a while?

@grok Who makes more money on a gallon of gas, the oil companies, or the State of CA?

They can have them now. All they need to do is leave California.

Exactly. If you want lower gas prices, move.
You can tell this account is just hired hands, because Gavin himself would not even likely say something so stupid.

Then lower the taxes in California. It’s 3.89 here and I use 93 octane.

From the governor whose state policies and regulations artificially create the higest gas prices in the country for its residents. Good grief.

California rakes in more profit per gallon than the fuel companies. That’s why your prices are so damn high, moron.

You could lower ours by $2.50 per gallon in five minutes. Just waive all of the ridiculous taxes, fees, regulations, cap-n-trade grifting, ludicrous fuel blends and onerous refining requirements.
