What does it say to you when elected officials stalk and corner “lesser” people for sexual “favors”?
It’s not unexpected that there are sexual wrongs being done at California’s State Capitol. Most state legislators are godless — which leaves them with the conscious or unconscious motivations of Money, Sex, and Power. For without loving God and people, it’s their default.
Two questions:
1. Have you noticed that every California state legislator who’s resigned or otherwise stepped down in the last few months over allegations of sexual misdeeds is a Democrat?
2. Will this change how you vote this election year?
For the sake of children’s role models, these are important questions for you to answer and to share with your friends. Will you think about them and ask others to do likewise?
Democrat assemblyman Raul Bocanegra of the 39th Assembly District, which covers Sylmar, San Fernando, Pacoima and Sunland-Tujunga, resigned after being accused of groping 6 women. The special primary election to replace him is April 3 (there are several Democrats but also two Republicans, one of which, with enough support, could qualify for the June 5 run-off by receiving the second-highest number of votes.
Democrat assemblyman Matt Dababneh of the 45th Assembly District, which covers most of the western San Fernando Valley. resigned after a lurid accusation that he exposed himself to a female lobbyist, with other women accusing him after he resigned. The primary election to replace Dababneh is also April 3, with a June 5 runoff.

The ironic sexual predator accusations against leading “Me Too” agenda Democrat assemblywoman Cristina Garcia of the Los Angeles County “Gateway Cities” of Montebello, Pico Rivera, Bell Gardens, Downey, Norwalk, Bellflower, Artesia and Cerritos even rocked some in the national media. A woman stalking and groping men? Garcia was forced to take unpaid leave pending the Legislature’s investigation.

Democrat state senator Tony Mendoza resigned rather than face expulsion after an investigation “found it was likely he made unwanted advances toward six women during his tenure as a lawmaker, including four women who worked as his staffers.” Saying he’s innocent, Mendoza has announced he’s running for re-election for the very same seat he just resigned from. Yes, sometimes politics is stranger than fiction. Overlapping Cristina Garcia’s Assembly district, the 32nd Senate District encompasses Buena Park and the “Gateway Cities” of Los Angeles County.
In selecting men for office, let principle be your guide. Regard not the particular sect or denomination of the candidate — look at his character. It is alleged by men of loose principles, or defective views on the subject, that religion and morality are not necessary or important qualifications for political stations. But the Scriptures teach a different doctrine. They direct that rulers should be men who rule in the fear of God, able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness. It is to the neglect of this rule that we must ascribe the multiplied frauds, breaches of trust, peculations and embezzlements of public property which astonish even ourselves; which tarnish the character of our country and which disgrace government. When a citizen gives his vote to a man of known immorality, he abuses his civic responsibility; he sacrifices not only his own responsibility; he sacrifices not only his interest, but that of his neighbor; he betrays the interest of his country.
Noah Webster, the “Schoolmaster to America,” in 1823

By now you’ve probably heard about at least 15 Californians killed (latest is 19 people dead) by rocks and mud that slid down from the fire-ravaged, denuded Santa Ynez Mountains above Montecito, just south of Santa Barbara. True compassion will motivate us to protect other Californians by doing our utmost to prevent more death and destruction.
Of course, the mudslides wouldn’t have happened except for the huge “Thomas Fire” above Montecito, which was one of dozens of cataclysmic wildfires in California in December.
Stop and realize there were 9,133 separate wildfires in California in 2017. That official number is amazing and wholly unacceptable. Easily more than 10,000 structures wiped out. None of these fires were caused by lighting, were they? Nearly all were man-made.
Oh, you’ll see “cause unknown” in the official reports, and you’ll suspect that downed power lines caused the devastating “Tubbs Fires” in Santa Rosa in October. There’s also suspicion that the “Creek Fire” above Sylmar was sparked by “a snapped line on a high-voltage transmission tower.”
Yet the much-videoed “Skirball Fire” near Bel Air was determined by L.A. County’s arson unit to be neglectful cooking at a “homeless encampment.” So that’s man-made. If we subtract 2 fires caused by power lines and 1 fire caused by a neglectful transient, there are still 9,131 separate wildfires unaccounted for! All these wildfires in 2017 — who or what caused them?
I say it’s time to admire Smokey the Bear and remind people, “Remember, only you can prevent forest fires.” Indeed, it’s high time for both Left and Right in California to demand that the ruling Democrat prevent wildfires. Don’t tolerate Jerry Brown and Democrat legislators neglectfully blaming “climate change” instead of caring for California families!
Here are ideas for new laws that could help:
1. Impose new stiff penalties, including prison time, for people who cause wildfires either through neglect or pyromania. Since uncaring transients and evil boys are likely perpetrators of most of the California wildfires, every government “homeless” agency needs to hand pamphlets to every transient they see and every government school must drum into the heads of children why we need to “love our neighbor” and why setting fires is wrong. Church schools can and should add fear of God and that God is watching.
2. Purchase many more planes and helicopters that can fight wildfires better and faster. This can be done using existing funds, but liberals are loathe to cut government waste, aren’t they? Republican state legislators should introduce bills cutting waste, fraud, and abuse and spend the saved money on a new wildfire “air force” for California. Even if the ruling Democrats kill these Republican bills, the Republicans could publicly pressure the Democrats to come up with their own bill to buy more planes and copters and station them in high-risk areas of the state.
3. Pass a new law requiring a wide-enough barrier between hillside homes and wild brush to stop the spread of flames and sparks. Since wind-borne sparks can jump freeways, the barrier needs to be at least that wide. A wide-enough width must be studied, because people and their property matter more than weeds and wildbrush. Any Democrat politician who bows to opposition environmental groups on this is not a “public servant.”
Any other ideas? Bottom line, Californians of all political stripes need to demand that our elected officials PREVENT wildfires in the future, and stop irresponsibly excusing themselves because the official fire report reads “cause unknown.”
As many as 90 percent of wildland fires in the United States are caused by humans. Some human-caused fires result from campfires left unattended, the burning of debris, negligently discarded cigarettes and intentional acts of arson. The remaining 10 percent are started by lightning or lava.

Earlier this year, 80 Democrats and 1 Republican voted in Sacramento to raise your gasoline taxes and your DMV fees. Specifically, this means 20 cents more in taxes for each and every gallon you pump. Are you feeling the pain yet?
Today, November 25, 2017, the average price per gallon of regular gas in California is $3.186. One month ago, before the 20-cent-per-gallon-tax-hike, the average price per gallon was $3.074.
Why is the difference 11.2 cents more, not 20 cents more, per gallon? Because many gas stations recently switched to their legally-allowed “winter blend” of gas, which is cheaper. You can expect California gas prices to be noticeably higher in the spring — as much as 20 cents more per gallon — when the more expensive “summer blend” returns.
ACTION: Plan now to vote YES to repeal the unnecessary and corrupt gas tax hike and DMV fee hike in November 2018, when, hopefully, a constitutional amendment will be on California’s ballot.
But wait, there’s more!
In the United States of America, there are 26 states with a Republican governor and a Republican-controlled state legislature. These states, with elected representatives committed to lower taxes and less regulation, enjoy combined gasoline and electricity prices that are BELOW the national average.
But among Democrat-controlled states, such as California, most of them impose HIGHER-THAN-AVERAGE costs at the gas pump and on your electricity bill.
Why do your energy bills keep going up, up, up? Now you know it’s because of Democrat politicians. Remember, it was 80 Democrats and 1 Republican in the Legislature, plus a Democrat governor, that imposed higher gasoline taxes on you.
ACTION: Share this fact with a Democrat that you love or a Democrat friend. They deserve to know how voting for Democrats is making them poorer.
“An unlimited power to tax involves, necessarily, a power to destroy.”
American statesman Daniel Webster in 1819
