5 good things a conservative governor could and should do

Q: What could Steve Hilton or Chad Bianco do as governor?
A: There are five good things a mostly-conservative governor can and should do:

1. He can veto all the bad bills – protecting Californians for four years.

2. He can destroy the evil Newsom administration by replacing the leadership of all California’s 200+ departments, commissions, boards, panels, bureaus, and offices, and ordering them to “clean house.”

3. He can appoint constitutional judges (the governor gets to appoint state judges to vacant judicial seats, around 100 per year).

4. He can set a new standard of good government, with his good deeds lasting beyond his administration (such as building dams and reinstituting the death penalty for murderers).

5. He can use his “bully pulpit” to educate Californians about the difference between good and evil, with myriad examples of waste, fraud, and abuse, at the very least.

And he can do much more, such as calling special legislative sessions to address one big problem at a time, and deploying California National Guard troops to preserve public safety.

I’m writing this because there’s a real chance to elect a mostly-conservative Republican governor this year. It all depends on conservatives being energized to vote in the “jungle” primary election, starting in early May, so that Bianco and Hilton win the “top two,” guaranteeing one of them will be elected governor in the November run-off.

Californians haven’t elected a Republican governor since Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2006. But in this year’s race, opinion polls are suggesting the unthinkable for Democrats: a potential two-man showdown in November in which both candidates are from the GOP. Under the state’s electoral rules, only the top two finishers in the June 2 primary appear on the general election ballot, regardless of party. The leaders in two recent polls were Republicans, former Fox News commentator Steve Hilton and Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco.

ALERT: Expose and oppose AB 1900 govt.-controlled health care

Thursday, March 12, 2026, 9:41 am | Randy Thomasson

You can help defeat “socialized medicine” in California!

This bad idea has failed before, so let’s stop government-run health care again!

A “single payer” health care system is one in which a single entity—the government—collects almost all revenue and pays almost all of the health care system’s bills.

As such, AB 1900 would result in tax hikes, long waits for treatment, and rationing of care.

Please contact your California state assemblymember (especially if he or she is a Democrat) to say: “Vote NO on AB 1900 — this will result in higher taxes, long waits, rationing, fewer doctors, and less treatment. Don’t take away my private insurance. Oppose AB 1900.”

EASY ACTION STEPS

1. Find your own California state legislators and their contact information. Simply enter your voter registration address here.

2. When you see the website links for your own legislators, click on your assemblymember’s.

3. On their home page, click the “Contact” button (usually on the upper right).

4. Use their web form to send your message to “Oppose AB 1900.” Also, call if you can (you can leave a voicemail on weekends, and before and after business hours).

Only fools support the harmful notion of socialized medicine. Because where government-controlled healthcare has been tried, it’s failed.

As Sally Pipes of the Pacific Research Institute wrote on March 4:

“…consider the human cost of single-payer. 

“Canadian patients waited a median of 28.6 weeks in 2025 for treatment from a specialist following referral by a general practitioner, according to the Vancouver-based Fraser Institute.

“More than 7 million people are currently on waiting lists for hospital treatment from Britain’s National Health Service.

“Sacramento struggles to run Medi-Cal. How will it manage a $500 billion takeover of the entire health system? “The progressives who support single-payer don’t have a good answer to that question — because there isn’t one.”

“In 2016, Canadians waited an average of five months for medically necessary specialist treatments. That is more than twice the average wait time in 1993. In fact, when compared to 11 similar countries, including the United States, a recent study shows that whether it’s emergency room visits, same or next day appointments when you’re sick, seeing a specialist, or getting elective surgery, Canada’s wait times are the worst.”
Genevieve Wood, “3 reasons why socialized medicine is bad for America’s health,” The Daily Signal, 11/20/2018

“The best way to regulate these matters and the best way to achieve results is not just to concentrate on how you pay for everything, but to concentrate on how you keep the costs down. We need an approach that will put the consumer of medical services in the driver’s seat and that will not just help to pay for things. If the costs keep skyrocketing, what good is it to keep throwing money after those higher costs? We need a system that will bring those costs down. And the system that brings the costs down in every other area of our lives is a consumer-policed system of competition where people have the right to make their own choices and can then carry the dollars that they’re going to use in a way that achieves the best results for them.”

What stopping California’s anti-parent law AB 1955 means and doesn’t mean

Tuesday, March 3, 2026, 10:05 am | Randy Thomasson

If you’re glad about the U.S. Supreme Court’s action defeating part of the Democrat Party politicians’ transsexuality agenda, I’m happy about it too, without being Pollyannish.

The good news, of course, is that six judges on the U.S. Supreme Court are getting more supportive of God-given parental rights, and that California’s evil law AB 1955 is back where it belongs, under a permanent injunction.

If Newsom & Co. don’t appeal this latest court action, AB 1955, which prohibited parents from being told their own children were acting out as “trans” at school, will “die on the vine” instead of being directly struck down.

The U.S. Supreme Court’s action to “vacate the stay” of a liberal three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals means that constitutional and pro-family Judge Roger Benitez’s permanent injunction against AB 1955 stands.

As reported March 2, 2026 by the San Diego Union-Tribune:

In December, District Judge Roger Benitez ruled in favor of the Mirabelli plaintiffs, who now also include several parents who oppose such school policies.


Benitez issued a court order prohibiting California school employees from “misleading” parents about their child’s gender status, such as by using different pronouns or names with a parent than the student uses at school. His ruling also prohibited employees from using pronouns or names that differ from the student’s legal ones if the parents object.


The state promptly appealed Benitez’ decision, and in early January, the Ninth Circuit granted the state’s request to stay his ruling pending that appeal.

* * *

The Supreme Court lifted the stay based in part on its assessment of how likely it believes the parent plaintiffs are to succeed on the merits of their case.


“These policies likely violate parents’ rights to direct the upbringing and education of their children,” its ruling said.


Contrary to the Ninth Circuit, the Supreme Court majority found that Mahmoud does apply to Mirabelli. It said it considers California’s policies to be an even greater intrusion on parents’ exercise rights than the introduction of LGBTQ+ storybooks in schools it analyzed in the Mahmoud case, and that it doesn’t believe California’s policies are likely to survive the strict scrutiny standard it set in that case.

But the bad news is that AB 1955 is just the tip of the iceberg. Because there are 15 sexual indoctrination laws still requiring the brainwashing of every child in every California “public school.”

See 13 laws here, plus two more at our 2025 legislation archive, which details AB 727 (requires a pro-“LGBTQIA+” group’s phone number on student ID cards) and AB 715 (orders K-12 government schools to purge any scientific teaching about only two sexes and the natural family).

So, as I’ve been urging California parents for 17 years now — if you love your children, get them out of the godless government schools. See how at our special site for parents, Rescue Your Child. Children grow up fast, so please act now!
