Horrors — Newsom signs awful anti-family bills

Monday, October 13, 2025, 11:33 am | Randy Thomasson

I’m grieving over Gavin Newsom’s signing of AB 495 to let groomers take custody of children, erasing dads’ and moms’ God-given parental consent.

And I’m righteously angry that Newsom is lying again by claiming his signature on AB 495 will somehow “protect parents’ rights.”

Thank you if you called or emailed Newsom’s office to oppose AB 495 and other awful anti-family bills that SaveCalifornia.com targeted. We had to try, not knowing whether California’s Big Democrat governor would be politically astute and pragmatic, or veer even more to the left to satisfy his fleshy followers (he’s obviously chosen the latter).

Now we must inform people outside of California of the damage that presidential wannabe Gavin Newsom has done and would do nationwide.

See the worst anti-family bills signed into law, then share with others!

And Newsom calls AB 495 a “parents’ rights” bill!! Yet it’s the most anti-parent bill in California history. It’s truly evil.

On August 29, AB 495’s “nonrelative extended family member” was replaced with “relative caregiver,” defined as “affinity within the fifth degree of kinship” — which includes first cousins once-removed.

But which school or medical office will demand proof of someone posing as an “uncle,” “aunt,” or “cousin” — especially since this documentation is not easily accessible, and since AB 495 actually says schools and medical offices don’t need to inquire further.

Gavin Newsom’s signing of AB 495 means a groomer can fill out a 1-page form declaring he or she can take physical custody of a child, having the authority to determine the child’s residence, schooling, and “health care.”

The chronic liar he is, Newsom’s Oct. 12 news release is titled “Governor Newsom signs bill to protect parents’ rights and children.”

Newsom CLAIMS signing AB 495, “Helps protect parents’ legal rights and supports security for children in case they are separated from their parents due to immigration enforcement. This also supports parents’ rights in the context of a disability, military service and incarceration.”

But how can a 1-page form protect parental rights when schools and medical offices MUST RECOGNIZE THE LEGAL AUTHORITY of the 1-page declaration form — which includes a box that can be checked, stating, “I am unable to contact the parent(s) or other person(s) having legal custody of the minor at this time, to notify them of my intended authorization.”

Don’t believe Newsom’s lies. AB 495 permits legal kidnapping when parents aren’t there or aren’t looking.

This is Reason #1001 to remove your children from the government-controlled schools, run by strangers who do not have your best interests in mind. See how at our special website, RescueYourChild.com

No, Newsom DOES NOT think allowing males on females’ sports teams is “deeply unfair,” as he told Charlie Kirk.

On Oct. 11, Big Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom announced without comment that he had signed AB 932 by Democrat Party Assemblywoman Jacqui Irwin (and coauthored by 6 other Democrats + Republican Diane Dixon) to prohibit “gender” discrimination in school and city and county sports programs.

In the California statutes, “gender” means subjective “gender identity” and “gender expression.” As such, AB 932 clearly pushes transsexuality over people’s consciences, invades girls’ sports in particular, and opens the door to lawsuits against dissenters.

In sum, AB 932 tells public schools and city/county/special district sports facilities that biological males must be permitted to play on females’ teams and use females’ locker rooms and restrooms, and vice versa — or risk a private party lawsuit that aims to penalize Californians who support science and girls with financial damages.

The Legislative Counsel’s Digest describes AB 932, as last amended June 19, as prohibiting the following:

“This bill would instead prohibit a city, county, city and county, special district, school district, county office of education, or charter school from discriminating against a person on the basis of sex or gender in the operation, conduct, or administration of community youth athletics programs, or in the allocation of parks and recreation facilities and resources or school and recreation facilities and resources that support or enable these programs.”

The final floor votes on AB 932 were: State Senate (voting yes were all the Democrats; all the Republicans voted no or abstained); State Assembly (voting yes were nearly all of the Democrats + Republicans Phillip Chen, Laurie Davies, Diane Dixon, and Jeff Gonzalez).

This is not OK!! Newsom has signed into law “trans” ID cards for kids!!!

AB 727 by homosexual-activist Democrat Party legislators will promote transsexuality to millions of schoolchildren by requiring a pro-transsexuality organization’s number to be imprinted upon all student ID cards in grades 7-12 in California “public” schools (including “charter schools”) and at UC, CSU, and community colleges.

Amendments to AB 727 this summer inserted “LGBTQ+” on the ID cards to ensure children and collegians know this is an “LGBTQ+” group phone number, while removing private colleges from the bill.

Where does this “LGBTQ+ suicide hotline” phone number go?

Directly to The Trevor Project in West Hollywood, a pro-transsexuality group promoting sexual anarchy, permitting and enabling child predators, and hiding it all from parents.

In his Oct. 10 news release, Newsom claimed, “Every student deserves to feel safe, supported, and seen for who they are. While some in Washington turn their backs on LGBTQ youth, California is choosing compassion over cruelty. AB 727 makes it clear: your identity doesn’t disqualify you from care and community – it’s exactly why we are fighting to make it easier to reach.”

But see these facts from a nationwide New Heritage Foundation study:

Youth Suicide Rates Are “SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER” in States Where Puberty Blockers, ‘Trans Drugs’ Are Easily Accessible For Children — The Gateway Pundit, 6/14/22

The study, which was conducted by Dr. Jay Greene, comes in response to a growing number of states and legislators who are pushing these damaging drugs – which have been traditionally used to chemically castrate sex offenders and pedophiles – as a solution to the skyrocketing suicide rate in the US that’s being driven by the left’s insane gender ideology.

But in reality, the ‘cure’ has done nothing but exasperate the problem – and Greene proves it by breaking the data down state by state.

Greene found that in states that allow minors to receive drugs like puberty blockers for gender affirmation, the rate of suicide among young people aged 12-23 is substantially higher (1.6 additional suicides per 100,000) than in states which do not allow easy access to these transgender drugs.

Additionally, when accounting for only the states that allow minors access to gender reassignment procedures without parental consent, the suicide rate gets even worse, ballooning to 3.5 additional suicides per 100,000 – a massive increase, when the baseline rate for youth suicide is 11.1 per 100,000.

California is the “puberty blocker” “leader.” Let that sink in.

Wait — what’s really inside this “combating antisemitism” bill Newsom signed on Oct. 10, and which nearly all Republican legislators FOOLISHLY supported?

The deceptive AB 715 (a product of the so-called “Diversity Caucus”) will be used as a hammer 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 AB 715 will implement this:

STEP 1: Transsexual “rights” are already in Education Code, Section 220, which prohibits “discrimination” of “gender, gender identity, gender expression … sexual orientation.”

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” (e.g., 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.

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 would 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, please share the damage that Gavin Newsom, his Democrat Party politicians and their RINO allies do with people inside and outside California.

Lastly, I again implore you to rescue your children or grandchildren from anti-family, “woke,” “public” schools. For if not now, when? See how at our special site, RescueYourChild.com.

Karl Marx said as much in the Communist Manifesto of 1848, in which he called for the abolition of the family. The family was already absent among the proletariat, Marx and his co-author Friedrich Engels wrote, and among the bourgeoisie, the family was a mere “money relation.” Most importantly, Marx said that communism would ensure that children would be educated by the state and not by their parents. Communists, he wrote in the Manifesto, would “rescue education from the influence of the ruling class.” The making of the “New Man” was the priority, and the family was an obstacle. As soon as they won their first victory, in Russia in 1917, the communists now in power put into practice these policies. Alexandra Kollontai, the Soviet’s first People’s Commissar for Welfare, put it succinctly when she wrote, “The old family, narrow and petty, where the parents quarrel and are only interested in their own offspring, is not capable of educating the ‘new person’.” Soviet schools even encouraged students to snitch on their parents.

URGENT: Urge Newsom to veto AB 495, stealing kids from their parents

Sunday, July 13, 2025, 6:05 pm | Randy Thomasson

They say you’re the parent, but they strip you of your parental rights.

Of all the evil bills by the ruling Democrats in Sacramento, one of the worst is AB 495, which threatens to eliminate your God-given parental rights if you’re not guarding your children like a hawk or a bear.

Dressed up as a bill purportedly to “provide stability” for children of illegal aliens who are detained by ICE, AB 495 broadly permits ANYONE to take custody of and make school decisions and medical decisions for ANY child in California, behind the backs of parents. This is the most anti-parent bill in California history!

From the July 3, 2025 analysis of the California State Senate Human Services Committee, which, after their pro-illegal-alien analysis, added the reality analyses of the pro-biological-female groups Women Are Real and Our Duty-USA:

Arguments in Opposition:

According to Women Are Real, “This bill creates a dangerous loophole in California law by granting broad authority over children to unvetted adults. It expands the Caregiver’s Authorization Affidavit to include “nonrelative extended family members,” a category so loosely defined it could include almost anyone—a neighbor, a teacher, a mentor, or a casual acquaintance. Once this form is signed, that adult is legally empowered to enroll a child in school and even make medical decisions. This is all without any court oversight, background check, or verification with the child’s parent or legal guardian. In practice, this opens the door to abuse and trafficking. The bill also makes records of joint guardianship appointments confidential, shielding them from public scrutiny and potentially hindering law enforcement and social services from identifying patterns of abuse.”

According to Our Duty-USA, “AB 495 is a child trafficker’s and kidnapper’s dream bill. There are over 300,000 unaccounted children who have crossed the border. There are countless other children of parents who have failed to pay their debts to the criminals assisting them to get into the United States. Sex-trafficking has replaced drugs as the most lucrative criminal enterprise. And California is once again a leader in harms to children. AB 495 permits ANYONE to claim guardianship over a child if the child’s parents cannot be found or if a person is 18 years or older claims that the parent cannot be found. It is all done legally with a one-page affidavit, and a stranger can claim a child for themselves, control the child’s schooling, medical procedures and of course, move the child into his home.”

That one-page form is found right in AB 495 in Section 5, which says anyone can declare he or she is a “nonrelative extended family member,” who further declares he or she is “unable to contact the parent(s) or other person(s) having legal custody of the minor at this time.

Upon presentation of a copy of this signed form to a school office or medical facility, the self-declared “nonrelative extended family member” is recognized as having “a sufficient basis for a determination of residency of the minor, without the requirement of a guardianship or other custody order,” and the “affidavit shall confer the same rights to authorize medical care and dental care for the minor that are given to guardians under Section 2353 of the Probate Code. The medical care authorized for a relative or nonrelative extended family member caregiver may include mental health treatment subject to the limitations of Section 2356 of the Probate Code.”

Now you know how the left-wing dream of AB 495 is a California parent’s nightmare. And sadly, this horrible bill threatening to rip children from their parents by putting them into the hands of a predator, a mutilator, or worse, is expected to pass the loony, Democrat-Party-controlled State Legislature. What’s more, AB 495 already has the support of two “Republicans,” Juan Alanis of Stanislaus County and Greg Wallis of the Greater Palm Springs Area, who voted yes on AB 495 on June 3 on the Assembly floor.

However, because termed-out Democrat Party Governor Gavin Newsom is actively running for U.S. President, he’s worth lobbying, because he would be exceedingly stupid to sign AB 495, a bill allowing children to be stolen from their parents by strangers filling out a one-page form.

TAKE QUICK ACTION: Urge Gavin Newsom, who’s indeed running for president in 2028, to veto AB 495.

Send this suggested message: “Governor Newsom, please veto AB 495. This bad bill is written so broadly, it would allow strangers, using a one-page form, to take physical custody of a child, move that child into their residence, decide the child’s schooling, and decide the child’s medical treatment — without any court oversight, background check, or verification with the child’s parent or legal guardian. Please veto this poorly-drafted bill threatening California parents and their children.”

3 ways to contact Newsom’s legislative staff:

  1. Web form: Click here, then select “Legislation Issues/Concerns,” then “Leave a Comment, ” then select “Con,” then paste in your message, then enter your contact information, then click “submit.”
  2. Phone: The Governor’s “constituent services” phones are answered by staffers who are paid to take your message. Call 916-445-2841 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
  3. Postal mail: You may write to Gov. Gavin Newsom, 1021 O Street, Suite 9000, Sacramento, CA 95814. Please put on the envelope and your letter, “Re: AB 495 — Veto This Anti-Parent Bill.”

There needs to be a huge outcry about this evil bill permitting the legal kidnapping of vulnerable children. Please share this statewide alert with others!

“Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea.”

The battle for basic social order

Wednesday, June 18, 2025, 11:09 am | Randy Thomasson

Have you noticed now we’re fighting for basic civilization?

The war in Los Angeles County is about enforcement of immigration laws and laws against hoodlums (those burning, vandalizing, injuring, and looting).

Twenty years ago, enforcing laws regarding social order wasn’t controversial. But since then, the Democrat Party has bared its New Communist soul to engage in “revolutionary terror” and “well-organized violence,” and to elevate their raw, naked power over any written laws.

So, on June 14, when millions of Leftists held their “No Kings” protests, SaveCalifornia.com went public about how the hypocritical Left has been slavishly obeying tyrants for years, and that the biggest “king” in California is the unconstitutional and evil Gavin Newsom:

Regarding what the biased Big Media call “protestors,” these hoodlums and vandals attacking police and property are nothing more than re-baked “Black Lives Matter” racists and anarchists — devoted to devilish, Marxist/Communist ideology, which justifies “revolutionary terror” in the pursuit of raw, dehumanizing power.

In 2020, there were “12,045 incidents of U.S. civil unrest” where BLM gangsters stole, killed, and destroyed, resulting in political prisoners andBILLIONS of dollars of damage.

Now, the same type of anarchists have been rampaging in L.A. (and copycats in other cities). which is why President Trump sent in 700 Marines to join 2,100 National Guard troops to quell the violence and even assist ICE in raids and arrests of illegal aliens.

As SaveCalifornia.com reminded our social media follows on June 7:

But the Lying Left doesn’t relent in the face of facts, does it?

This is why perhaps the most wicked Democrat in the California State Legislature announced his anti-ICE bill on June 16. Yet the author, homosexual activist Scott Wiener of San Francisco, is ignoring a key factpointed out by Fox News reporter Bill Melugin: “California has zero authority/jurisdiction to regulate what federal law enforcement does.”

This bad bill targets ICE agents by trying to prohibit them from covering their faces, and requiring them to show ID on their uniforms, by name or other identifier.

Todd Lyons, ICE’s acting director, has defended his officers using facemasks (https://tinyurl.com/5624f7jh), saying they wear them to protect themselves from death threats and online harassment.

Lyons said at a news conference earlier this month in Boston to announce nearly 1,500 arrests in the region as part of a monthlong “surge operation”: “I’m sorry if people are offended by them wearing masks, but I’m not going to let my officers and agents go out there and put their lives on the line, their family on the line because people don’t like what immigration enforcement is.”

And now, it appears Newsom & Co. is about to get another public black mark for their unconstitutional, anti-American support of violent insurgents.

On June 17, all three judges on a Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals panel seemed to agree that a U.S. president has vast discretion to deploy the military, including a state’s National Guard, where needed.

There’s no definite date when this 3-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals will rule. There’s also no court order in effect that pulls back or limits President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth using the California National Guard to protect federal agents and assist with immigration enforcement.
