Hellish new California laws from Dems & RINOs

Thursday, January 1, 2026, 10:37 pm | Randy Thomasson

As California’s governors and state legislators have gotten “progressively” worse, your domestic enemies (both Democrat Party politicians and RINOs) have invented new evil, as the Bible warns us they will do.

As of January 1, the awful bills that Gavin Newsom signed are now law. Democrat Party state legislators are three-fourths of both houses (the 40-member Senate and the 80-member Assembly) are Democrats. And too many Republicans, who should use their only power to expose evil, have become RINOs (Republicans In Name Only), who either vote in favor of Democrat bills or refuse to speak up to expose them.

Here are some of the worst, immoral, anti-family laws taking effect:

The outrageous new threat of AB 495 against impressionable children will primarily happen on government school campuses. Because parents aren’t there, and the 1-page form, which school staff must respect and obey, supersedes everything else. There is no proof of “relative” status required. For legal kidnapping to occur, all that’s needed is a compliant or confused child.

In the California statutes, “gender” already means subjective “gender identity” and “gender expression.” AB 932 takes this and prohibits “gender discrimination” in all government-run sports programs (public schools, cities, counties, etc.). Thus, the new law’s result is that biological males must be permitted to play on females’ teams and use females’ locker rooms, showers, and restrooms. And four “Republicans” joining nearly all the Democrats in voting “yes” on AB 932 shows that with Democrat Party and RINO politicians, girls lose.

This is the opposite of what parents want and children need. For youth suicide rates are significantly higher in states promoting transsexuality to kids and offering them “puberty blockers” and other “trans drugs.” And the Trevor Project on the back of student ID cards goes to a website where children can meet adult “sex” predators, all hidden from parents. AB 727 received the “yes” votes of nearly all the Democrat Party state legislators.

Even if you support so-called “assisted suicide,” what if it involves murder? SB 403’s continuation of California’s badly-written “assisted suicide” law doesn’t even guarantee the choice of the person. Even if there was evidence of a struggle, and even if an heir was present, police and paramedics and district attorneys are ordered to look the other way. Because under this dangerous law, no investigation or charge is allowed.

Abortion pills frequently injure women and girls — and always kill an innocent human being, the baby. Yet AB 260, intent on killing preborn babies, would require pharmacists to dispense them, permits teenagers to obtain abortion pills anonymously, fast-tracks it for welfare recipients, requires coverage by Medi-Cal and private insurance plans, and exempts pushers of abortion drugs from “civil, criminal, disciplinary, or other administrative action” — despite the resulting injuries.

Although sold as combating antisemitism, this deceptive bill (a product of the so-called “Diversity Caucus”) is based on Education Code, Section 220, which includes “gender, gender identity, gender expression … sexual orientation.” As such, AB 715 orders K-12 “public” schools to purge any scientific teaching about human physiology and the natural family that “would subject a pupil to unlawful discrimination” (i.e., whatever “offends” LGBTQIA+ activists). In the State Legislature, most Democrats and 28 of 30 Republicans voted “yes” for this.

Please tell others about these new horrible laws now in effect in California. And please take action to protect your family where you can (AB 495 and AB 715 are even more reasons to get your precious children and grandchildren out of the government schools).

How to have Real Thanksgiving

Wednesday, November 26, 2025, 10:14 am | Randy Thomasson

What’s the real meaning of Thanksgiving?

Turn the word around and it’s GivingThanks.

But to whom do you give thanks (since you thank a person)?

On Thanksgiving Day and hopefully every day, humble, in-reality people will thank Creator God in Jesus’ Name for His creation, sustenance, Word, love, etc. Because, without Him, we’re nothing and have nothing!

A great way to help those at your table give God glory is to ask, “What are you thankful to God for?” This substantive question, when safely and patiently asked, helps others give God the credit where credit is due. (You might need to remind them, “What do you specifically thank God for?” instead of just being glad about something or crediting “fate.”)

See these videos to inspire you and others to praise Creator God in Jesus’ Name: Thankful | Thank You God

Enjoy and read aloud to others these short stories about the first Thanksgiving in America

Remember, a grateful heart helps everyone. So challenge yourself to be thankful. Take a minute to reignite your soul to thank the Author of Life for air, food, water, and our basic necessities. Focus on the One who made the sun in the sky, the oceans, the animals, every original food and substance, and all we rely on, including the ground we walk on.

Lastly, stop and realize there are two types of people: Those who sincerely thank God, and those who “did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful” (Romans 1:21). And consider how thanking God not only gives God His due, but also calms your mind, since gratitude and worry cannot coexist in the same moment.

“…that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.”
Jesus Christ, Savior of the world and God in the flesh, in Matthew 5:45

“Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heav’nly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.”
From the 1674 Christian hymn by English Pastor Thomas Ken

The 2025 legislative session brought out the RINOs

Monday, October 20, 2025, 11:41 am | Randy Thomasson

Many pro-family Californians don’t understand why most Republican legislators in the California State Legislature joined the supermajority Democrats in approving AB 715, which will purge the fact of only two sexes, the natural family, and more from California’s K-12 government schools. After all, this would be the 14th statewide school sexual indoctrination law — so why did 28 of 30 Republicans vote “yes”?

Given the anti-family agendas of these authors, Republican legislators should have been highly suspicious of AB 715. And if they didn’t read or understand this deceptive sexual indoctrination bill, they should have abstained instead of voting yes. Sadly, they didn’t.

AB 715 was dressed up as an “antisemitism” bill. But that was just the cover story.

AB 715 is a product of the so-called “Diversity Caucus,” and its top two authors are homosexual activist Rick Zbur, who used to head the state’s “LGBT” activism group, and “unlimited genders” activist Dawn Addis, author of AB 1487, the “Two-Spirit, Transgender, Gender Nonconforming, and Intersex (2TGI) Wellness and Equity Fund” bill.

AB 715 will be used as a sledgehammer against conservative school boards by making Education Code, Section 220, which includes and promotes “gender, gender identity, gender expression … sexual orientation,” a huge eraser of anything in its path.

Here’s how:

STEP 1: Transsexual “rights” are already in Education Code, Section 220, which prohibits “discrimination” of “gender, gender identity, gender expression … sexual orientation.” And Section 220 includes “any other characteristic that is contained in the definition of hate crimes set forth in Section 422.55 of the Penal Code,” which includes these words:

(2) Gender.

(6) Sexual orientation.

Then these words are further defined in Section 422.56:

(c) “Gender” means sex, and includes a person’s gender identity and gender expression. “Gender expression” means a person’s gender-related appearance and behavior regardless of whether it is stereotypically associated with the person’s assigned sex at birth.

(h) “Sexual orientation” means heterosexuality, homosexuality, or bisexuality.

STEP 2: AB 715 orders K-12 school governing bodies that they “shall not adopt or approve” any teachings that “would subject a pupil to unlawful discrimination pursuant to section 220.” Because the word “discrimination” is not defined in AB 715, and can be very broadly applied to be anything that offends “LGBTQIA+” activists.

STEP 3: Leftist lawsuits will use AB 715 to purge anything in K-12 government schools that offends “trans” activists, who have and will cry “discrimination” over real science and real history about human physiology, the natural family, and American history. AB 715 can erase it all.  

Republican legislators didn’t connect these dots, but SaveCalifornia.com did, and the “LGBTQIA+” certainly will. Let no one be deceived… “LGBTQIA+” activists wanted AB 715 so they could sexually indoctrinate children all the more. 

For AB 715 prohibiting any material that “would subject a pupil to unlawful discrimination” can subjectively lead to purging K-12 government schools of any teaching or depiction of man-woman marriage, boys growing up to be men, girls growing up to be women, the Christian foundation of Thanksgiving and of the United States of America, and more. 

At its core, AB 715 will erase history and science for millions of California children.

What’s more, AB 715 pushes pro-“trans” “restorative justice practices,” where “restorative justice practitioners” make “offenders” take responsibility for their actions, to understand “the harm” they have caused, to give them “an opportunity to redeem themselves,” and to “discourage them from causing further harm.”

Again, if Republican legislators didn’t know this, they should have at least abstained on AB 715 once they saw the pro-perversity leftist Democrat authors and heard how the bill was sponsored by the pro-LGBTQIA+ “Diversity Caucus.”

Similarly, Assembly Republicans should have opposed AB 86, instead of supporting this extreme, school sexual indoctrination bill. Newsom’s veto of AB 86 is to their shame.

AB 86 by Democrat Party Assemblywoman Tasha Boerner would have required the California State Board of Education to adopt K-8 “health education … instructional materials.” All based on the anti-family 2019 curriculum frameworks requiring kids in grades 7 through 12 to be positively taught to accept masturbation, oral sex, teen fornication, homosexuality, bisexuality, transsexuality, abortion, and more.

This one-sentence bill reads: “On or before July 1, 2028, the state board shall adopt instructional materials for health education for kindergarten and grades 1 to 8, inclusive, pursuant to the requirements of this article and in alignment with the health curriculum framework adopted by the state board in 2019.” 

To understand how bad AB 86 was, connect the dots:

STEP 1: Pass AB 329 in 2015 and get the State Board of Education to implement it in 2019: AB 329 (signed by Gov. Jerry Brown in 2015 and implemented in 2019 through the new “sexual health” standards approved by State Board of Education appointees of Gov. Jerry Brown and Gov. Gavin Newsom) teaches children as young as 7th grade that any consensual sexual behavior is “safe” as long as you “protect” yourself with a condom, and teaches children that homosexuality, bisexuality and transsexuality is “normal.” AB 329 requires children to learn all kinds of sexual examples and practices: masturbation, oral sex, teen fornication, homosexuality, transsexuality, and unlimited “genders,” as well as promoting abortion. Under the guise of “health” education, AB 329, dubbed the “California Healthy Youth Act,” is mandatory for grades 7-12 and optional for younger grades.

STEP 2: In 2025, write AB 86 so briefly, yet so specifically, as to expand the indoctrination from older children down to the youngest students by requiring the State Board of Education to adopt “instructional materials for health education for kindergarten and grades 1 to 8” — in full “alignment with the health curriculum framework adopted by the state board in 2019,” thus providing all the sexual anarchy and experimentation of AB 329 from 2015 and from the State Board of Education’s 2019 “health” framework.

STEP 3: In committees and on the Assembly floor, “sell” AB 86 as a simple update that benefits the “health” of younger children. Present it as so “simple” and vague that only smart, caring, pro-family legislators want to investigate it and connect the dots (no Republican spoke against AB 86 on the Assembly floor).

Kudos to all 10 State Senate Republicans, who voted “no” on AB 86 on Sept. 9. But it’s a head-shaking shame that this evil bill passed the State Assembly on May 29 with the “yes” votes of 11 Republicans: Juan Alanis, Laurie Davies, Carl DeMaio, Diane Dixon, Stan Ellis, Heath Flora, James Gallagher, Jeff Gonzalez, Josh Hoover, Alexandra Macedo, and Greg Wallis.

The only logical conclusion is they were fools for not studying Democrat-authored bills but still voting for them, or RINOs (Republicans In Name Only) trying to curry favor with “LGBTQIA+” activists in their districts.

Which Assembly Republicans voted the most FOR these anti-family bills that Newsom signed + AB 86*, which he vetoed?

#7 Josh Hoover of east Sacramento County (AB 86, AB 715, AB 822)
