Democrat Party politicians are burning up California

Friday, October 31, 2025, 11:51 am | Randy Thomasson

No, the Dem politicians DON’T CARE and WON’T PREVENT out-of-control wildfires that kill people, incinerate homes, and greatly pollute the air.

From the start of the Jerry Brown administration (2011-2019) through the Gavin Newsom administration (2019-present), there have been 117,113 wildfires total on California land.

All because, beholden to environmental wacko groups, they’ve refused to clear out dead trees and brush, or thin out overgrown live trees and brush.

Their criminal neglect has resulted in abundant, highly combustible fuel that transforms little fires into highly-destructive “monster” fires.

Adding to the huge problem of “spreading” is the “starting” problem, a consequence of the Democrat Party politicians’ pro-transient policies, resulting in irresponsible fire-starters statewide.

STREET PEOPLE ARE STARTING MANY FIRES

“Homeless Start 17,000 Fires in Los Angeles City Annually, Says LA Fire Department,” Santa Monica Observer 3/7/25

“The most reliable data on fires started by homeless people in the City of Los Angeles comes from the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD), which tracks “homeless fires” — incidents linked to encampments or unsheltered individuals.

“For the City of Los Angeles specifically (not the broader county), the LAFD reported 13,909 such fires in 2023. This number reflects a significant increase from prior years — nearly double the 7,149 recorded in 2020 — and aligns with a trend of rising incidents: 8,823 in 2021 and 11,595 in 2022.

“These numbers align with the LAFD’s observed annual increase of 2,000–3,000 fires since 2019, making 16,000–17,000 plausible for 2024, though official confirmation is pending.”

REMEMBER: Because little fires turning into “monster” fires is a direct result of Democrat Party politicians’ neglect, every out-of-control wildfire is a Democrat Party wildfire.

Your country is desolate,
Your cities are burned with fire;
Strangers devour your land in your presence;
And it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.

Isaiah 1:7

When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice;
But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.

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?

#6 Jeff Gonzalez of Imperial County, Riverside County, and San Bernardino County (AB 86, AB 715, AB 932)

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

Newsom & the Democrats side with invaders

Sunday, September 21, 2025, 12:27 pm | Randy Thomasson

Gov. Gavin Newsom and his Democrat Party legislators have no qualms about siding with invaders — those who have illegally crossed our borders.

And while their stance includes opposing border control, border security, and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the bill Newsom just signed to “ban” face masks on ICE agents violates both federal statutes and the U.S. Constitution.

As Breitbart News explains:

“The legislation … is unconstitutional: state police cannot enforce the law against federal law enforcement officers due to the Supremacy Clause. It also unlawfully exempts the California Highway Patrol, the force that Newsom has dispatched to protect former Vice President Kamala Harris; discriminating against federal officers violates the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause.”

What’s more, Scott Wiener’s SB 627 exempts big cities’ SWAT officers — another big legal weakness in the bill.

Ultimately, SB 627 is unenforceable and is merely fluff by Gavin Newsom telling Democrat Party activists to nominate him for president in 2028.

Q: Why is it important that ICE agents wear masks?

A: Because Leftist activists are actively trying to identify ICE agents, to dox them and threaten them and their families, to try to make them quit. 

As The Center Square reported this summer:

As publicity has increased over ICE arrests, “ICE officers are facing a 413% increase in assaults while carrying out arrests,” the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said.

Lyons said the reason why ICE agents are wearing masks is because California residents were threatening them and their family members.

During a major operation in Los Angeles, “ICE officers were doxed. People were out there taking photos of the names [of the agents], their faces and posting them online,” Lyons said. California residents were also making death threats against ICE agents’ family members, he said.

“I’m not going to let my officers and agents go out there and put their lives on the line and their family on the line because people don’t like what immigration enforcement is. They’re wearing those masks because we ran an operation with the Secret Service [and they made the arrest] someone was going online taking their photos, posting their families, their kids’ Instagram, their kids’ Facebook [pages] and targeting them,” he said.

Bottom line, you either side with invaders or you side with border security. Siding with invaders destroys nations; siding with border security preserves nations.
