The DeSantis-Newsom debate: A clear winner

At Nov. 30 debate between a moral Republican governor and an evil Democrat governor, California’s uber-liberal Democrat Gavin Newsom was exposed more than any of California’s Big Media ever tried to.

Fox News’ Sean Hannity did an admirable job showing factual slides that Newsom tried to wiggle out of, but each time he was “caught” by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, and sometimes by Hannity too.

Some of Newsom’s biggest whoppers were:

Claiming “LGBT” indoctrination wasn’t required in California K-12 “public” schools: Yet there are 13 perversity-promoting laws for every government school, including charter schools. SaveCalifornia.com’s special site, RescueYourChild.com, lists 12 here and Newsom this summer signed AB 1078 teaching kids to admire “LGBTQ+ Americans.”

Refusing to say whether he supports any restrictions on abortion (baby-killing): Despite Newsom dancing all over the place and refusing to answer Sean Hannity’s direct questions, the horrible fact remains: Gavin Newsom and California’s Democrat Party legislators have passed many laws with zero abortion restrictions. This year, Newsom signed a raft of murderous bills expanding abortion throughout California law, trampling parental rights, and even offering taxpayer-funded abortions to residents of other states.

Blaming high gas prices on oil companies, when Democrat politicians are to blame: But the fact is California has the highest gas prices in the U.S. because it has the highest gas taxes (the consequences of Democrat rulers), higher gasoline regulations (it costs more to produce California-only blends), lower supply from within (the State greatly limits oil drilling), lower supply from without (the State isn’t permitting new pipelines from other states), and higher real estate prices (more depressing of the supply due to Democrats’ laws) and more expensive employees (job-killing socialism of the Democrat politicians).

“And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”

URGENT: Tell Newsom to veto these costly bills

Saturday, September 2, 2023, 9:39 pm | Randy Thomasson
SCROLL DOWN FOR ACTION STEPS

On September 1, the Democrat leaders of the California State Legislature, by their actions, challenged Newsom to sign their most radical, unconstitutional, anti-family bills.

By passing hundreds of bad bills in the appropriations committees, your leftist Democrat “rulers” are saying they don’t care what you think, and they actually believe they can “make” Newsom sign their devilish agenda, like he has before.

But this year is different, since California’s uberliberal Democrat governor IS running for president, with a self-induced $31.5 BILLION state budget deficit hanging over his head. And if Newsom doesn’t balance it, his claim he’s a “fiscal conservative” will disintegrate.
Among the hundreds of bad Democrat bills removed from the “suspense file” and passed in the Senate and Assembly appropriations committees Friday are:

AB 659 pushing harmful Gardasil jabs upon junior highers and college students

AB 5 forcing public-school employees into “LGBTQ cultural competency training”

AB 443 discriminating against moral/religious police officers and office candidates

AB 1078 taking away local control of school boards to make curriculum decisions

AB 576 funding all Medi-Cal chemical abortions. at taxpayer expense

SB 58 promoting a raft of “hallucinogenic substances” as “recreational drugs”

SB 274 eliminating suspensions/expulsions of willfully defiant teens (grades 9-12)

SB 345 forcing new costs on cities/counties for abortion/”LGBTQIA+” agenda

SB 407 punishing religious foster parents who don’t support “LGBTQIA+”

SB 541 requiring “internal and external condoms” be available in grades 9-12

SB 596 empowering school boards to arrest “disorderly” parents at meetings

SB 729 requiring insurance to pay for artificial insemination of gays and trans

SB 760 forcing government schools, grades 1-12, to have an “all-gender restroom”

With immoral Democrats controlling three-fourths of each house of the State Legislature, which of these bills might Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom veto?

There have been signs for months that Newsom is sharpening his veto pen.

In the media, he’s repeatedly mimicked his predecessor, Jerry Brown, saying it would not be “prudent” for the state budget to “imbalanced.”

And on September 1, Newsom’s Department of Finance representative was noticeably absent from the front table of the “suspense file” meeting of the Senate Appropriations Committee, where “Finance” is regularly represented. Was this a boycott by the Newsom Administration after being told to get ready for lots of costly bills on his desk? It’s plausible.

So, this is now a “donkey fight,” where the blatantly bad Democrat legislators are challenging another evil Democrat, Governor Gavin Newsom, who, as long as his presidential hopes are alive, wants to put the brakes on additional spending.

NEW ACTION: Urge Newsom to veto these bad bills. Put on the pressure to remind him these radical bills are unpopular.

1. Call Newsom’s constituent services office, Monday-Friday, 9-5 at 916-445-2841. When a staffer answers, they are a person paid to take your simple message of bills you are supporting or opposing. List all the bills in one phone call, but keep it brief.

2. Use Newsom’s web form to oppose all these bad bills at once.

2. Under “What is the purpose of your message?”, select “Leave a Comment”
3. Click “Next” to go to the next page
4. Under “If applicable, what is your stance on this topic?, click “Con”
5. In the message field, simply write in all caps: VETO THESE COSTLY BILLS, then copy and paste in SaveCalifornia.com one-sentence bill descriptions (from the above list)
6. Click “Next” to go to the next page
7. Enter your first and last name and email address (but not your phone number)
8. Click “Submit”

The California State Legislature will adjourn its 2023 session on September 14; the governor will have until October 14 to sign or veto bills.

It is apparent that, those who appear to wield unparalleled power – and, have a disturbing tendency of abusing this, as a means of sadistically and savagely subjugating their fellow countrymen and women, with abundant impunity – can not stand the heat when the tables are turned against them, and will swiftly head for the hills, whenever they perceive any substantial threat.

Why I’m urging thinking Californians to oppose all 7 props

To help you and other reasonable Californians vote right, I want to remind you of what SaveCalifornia.com announced Sept. 21: Why we’re opposing all 7 ballot propositions.

Please visit our Pro-Family Election Center (we’ve just updated our analysis of Prop. 1 and 31) to see why. Here’s a shortened version for you to see and share:

What’s the most secure way to vote?
In America, election fraud by Democrat politicians, bureaucrats, and activists is a factor, but not an absolute.

Because if “they” were in total control of election outcomes, we’d never see conservatives or Republicans elected, or Republicans recapture both houses of Congress (as they’re predicted to do this election). And you wouldn’t see Gavin Newsom openly worrying Republicans could flip four U.S. House seats in California.

That said, anyone who’s seen the video evidence of paid “mules” stuffing “drop boxes” in the dead of night knows unconstitutional Democrat malfeasance is real. For this and other reasons, I urge you to avoid the insecurity of drop boxes. For who knows who really picks them up and transports them unmolested to the county elections office?

Instead, I recommend you to either vote in-person at a physical polling place in your county, or go to your county elections office to deliver your sealed ballot inside. These are probably the most secure voting methods in your county of residence. But if you can’t vote this way, please still vote by Nov. 8 any legal way you can. 

[T]he time has come that Christians must vote for honest men and take consistent ground in politics or the Lord will curse them … Christians have been exceedingly guilty in this matter. But the time has come when they must act differently … Christians seem to act as if they thought God did not see what they do in politics. But I tell you He does see it – and He will bless or curse this nation according to the course they [Christians] take [in politics].
Charles Finney (1792-1875), leader of the Second Great Awakening in the U.S.
