With evil forces hard at work, you hear a lot of bad news. But here 3 victories, right here in California!
The City of Downey, in southeast L.A. County, encircled by the 5, 710, and 105 freeways, has joined Huntington Beach, Fountain Valley, and the County of Orange in banning any flag on government property except the U.S., state, city (or county) and POW/MIA flags.
This is the fruit of the labors of those who helped elect pro-family city councilmembers. It took 3 of 5 votes to win on May 14, but fortunately, there was a conservative majority!
The mayor, Mario Trujillo (sitting in the center of the council’s semi-circle), is himself an “LGBTQIA+” activist, who was seething with anger because he wants to promote the unnatural, unhealthy, unbiblical, tyrannical homosexual-bisexual-transsexual agenda.
Kudos to the Downey chapter of Mass Resistance, which has worked for a couple years now for a conservative-majority council to approve this patriotic, pro-family flag policy. If you have and know a conservative city councilmember, ask him or her to introduce the same flag policy as Downey and Huntington Beach have bravely and lovingly done.
1. Religious freedom and free speech in the First Amendment, plus California’s “employee protection” laws, can be potent allies of moral-values teachers in the government schools. Suing in federal court is the right venue and also a legal strategy to protect more teachers.
2. Other religious teachers opposed to the “LGBTQIA+” agenda in schools can also sue, with the help of able, First Amendment attorneys. If you’re a religious teacher in California “public schools” who doesn’t want to lie about what sex a biological boy or biological girl is, contact the same attorneys who represented and won for Jessica Tapia: Advocates for Faith & Freedom at 951-304-7583 or see their new page, Teachers Don’t Lie.
3. A federal lawsuit going all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court is needed. The current high court seems to have either 5 or 6 judges that support religious accommodation, based on our written Constitution and the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Which teacher and legal organization will love others nationwide to pursue this? The Becket Fund for Religious Freedom is representing religious parents of children in K-12 government schools. And while losing in federal appeals court May 15, they’ve won the right of appeal to SCOTUS.
The Lakeside Union School District Parents’ Bill of Rights includes: * Public listing and disclosure of all curricula * Parent advisory committees to review and make recommendations regarding parental notification, student privacy matters, and selection and implementation of curriculum and supplemental instructional materials * Detailing of age-appropriateness of library books, ensuring parents’ ability to restrict their child’s access to objectionable books * Parents’ ability to “opt-out” of what they deem to be inappropriate topics including sex education * Notification of official or unofficial district actions related to bullying, suicidal intent, sexual transitioning, and academic achievement * Parental notification of state-mandated or district-initiated modifications to restroom and locker room facilities that impact children’s privacy * Parental written approval for administering all medications or medical treatments from cold medicines to insulin
Every pro-family school board in California should pass a similar resolution. So if a school board in your community has a professing pro-family majority, please lobby your local school board members to pass the same Parents’ Bill of Rights as Lakeside has.
However, loving parents and grandparents should realize that, despite this pro-family resolution, impressionable boys and girls enrolled in the government-controlled K-12 system in Lakeside and throughout California will still be barraged with:
* A raft of statewide school sexual indoctrination laws * Racist indoctrination under the guise of “ethnic studies” * Anti-people indoctrination under “climate education” * Other curricula that are pro-abortion, pro-fornication, and anti-America * A myriad of policies and practices disparaging parents, family, real history, and Christianity
SaveCalifornia.com urges loving dads and moms to permanently rescue your children from government indoctrination centers and take back your parental rights for good.
From teaming up with other parents to micro-school by hiring a teacher of your choice, to homeschooling with superior curriculum that does most of the teaching, parents are in charge! And with homeschool groups in most communities, healthy socialization abounds!

For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.

As the above graphic shows, the current 7 judges (in pale pink fields) of the California Supreme Court, with the exception of one, were nominated by Democrat Party governors.
And since the Democrat Party wants to make the government bigger and the People poorer, when Newsom & Co. recently asked the State Supreme Court to remove from the ballot a rock-solid taxpayer protection initiative that’s already qualified, the state’s high court was “obliged” to hear it — because as recently as 2018, the Democrat-dominated Supreme Court has removed initiatives so the People couldn’t vote on them.
The well-written “Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act” would prohibit the Legislature from increasing a tax or fee or “a levy, charge, or exaction of any kind” without a two-thirds vote of the Legislature. And then the People of California would have to approve it with a majority vote! Same thing for local government tax and fee hikes and ” a levy, charge, or exaction of any kind.” See why the Democrat Party politicians and their establishment county and city tyrants hate this?
In the San Francisco state high court’s building on Wednesday, May 8, our side’s super-duper attorney, Tom Hiltachk, the official proponent of the initiative, told the judges:
The opposing attorneys’ claims are “based not on evidence submitted to this court but on the opinions of people in the government who do not want change.”
“What we have evolved into is it is an administrative state that has far too much power among non-elected bureaucrats, who no one knows their name, setting fees not for a fishing license fee, that’s not what this is about, but raising billions of dollars out of the economy without any legislative oversight.”
Hiltachk warned the judges that removing the initiative from the ballot would be “making a political judgment it should not make…instead that judgment should be entrusted to voters.” And he reminded the judges that California’s legal history is replete with ballot initiatives on taxes. “The people have the last word…this tug-of-war over taxation has been going on for over 100 years.”
After the hearing, Rob Lapsley of the California Business Roundtable talked to the media and succinctly explained why Newsom & Co., the League of California Cities, and big unions oppose this good initiative, saying, “The whole issue here is that they are scared to death of the people of California being empowered to vote on state and local taxes.”
Stop and realize the People of California could vote to reduce the full-time Legislature back to a part-time legislature, and this would not be an unconstitutional “revision” of state government. Similarly, the People could limit the size of the state budget, and this wouldn’t be an unconstitutional “revision” either.
Likewise, requiring the People’s approval for taxes and fees and other government money-grabs reflects the fact that, as the California State Constitution declares in Article II, Section 1: “All political power is inherent in the people. Government is instituted for their protection, security, and benefit, and they have the right to alter or reform it when the public good may require.” This means altering or reforming the system to give more power to the People to decide money-grabs is an absolute right.
The “Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act” will go on the November ballot in late June if no more than three of the six Democrat Party judges vote to remove it. Since Gavin Newsom has three judges, they might vote against the People’s rights. It could be that close.

Instead of saying what he’s going to do to lower gas prices, decrease inflation, prevent crime, and truly eliminate transients (such as banning homeless camping on public land, which Florida’s Ron DeSantis is doing), California’s Democrat Party Governor Gavin Newsom is tooting his own horn — but is he lying again?
Click to watch Newsom’s Sunday, May 5 video promoting himself as brave, admirable, pro-prosperity, and pro-America, when he says, “Travel spending in the state reached an all-time high”:
But we say it’s “high time” to ruthlessly fact-check Gavin Newsom.
What do you “credit” for price increases in California? Because bad government increases the cost of everything (and remember, Democrat Party politicians have been ruling California for a long time now).
His war on oil jacking up gas prices, burdensome regulations on businesses, “minimum wage” hikes, amusement park & hotel price increases, etc.
Add to this Newsom & Co.’s policies promoting illegal aliens, early release of convicts, “climate change” regulations on businesses, and nearly whatever union bosses want, which is always more money and power. All these bad policies have increased the cost of living in California in the Newsom era.
So yes, California tourists are paying more than before, because Newsom & Co.’s oppressive policies have CAUSED higher prices than in 2022, 2021, 2020, and 2019. This rapid inflation is not a sign of prosperity, but another demonstration that Democrat Party policies make life more costly for both tourists and residents.
As the non-conservative CalMatters observed in December, “There are warning signs for the California economy: Unemployment is inching up, tech layoffs continue and IPOs are waning. Experts expect a downturn, but it’s still possible the state will avoid a recession.” And this came two months before the California Legislative Analyst reported an even higher state budget deficit of $73 BILLION.
But Gavin Newsom, a professional liar who’s still running for president, can’t be bothered with facts, can he? He’s not at all interested in solving California’s myriad of public problems, because, as a true narcissist, he’s loathe to admit the truth — that he’s caused or accelerated most of them since becoming governor in 2019.
