U.S. Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Bakersfield) with his good friend, pollster Frank Luntz

Update Jan. 6, 11:17 p.m. PT: Trickery has made RINO Kevin McCarthy of Bakersfield Speaker of the House. In tonight’s 15th ballot for speaker, because 4 RINO Republicans purposely didn’t vote and the 6 moral-values constitutional stalwarts voted “present,” this lowered the threshold of votes needed. Conservatives, you now have 3 RINO Republican speakers in a row — John Boehner, Paul Ryan, now Kevin McCarthy, all birds of a feather who value power over principle. Still, the very public 3 days of resistance by 21 Republican U.S. Representatives very concerned about corruption at the top was so needed. And while not replacing a RINO (Republican In Name Only) with a constitutional fighter, there were several important concessions won in negotiation with McCarthy to make the House rules the fairest in decades. Constitutional Americans must hold McCarthy accountable to his promises. I grieve the agreed-upon framework does not include a House investigation into election fraud of the 2020 and 2022 elections. For how can we have a democratic republic without the confidence of one person, one vote? In all of this, conservative constitutional voters are excited about Matt Gaetz, whom I believe could be Florida’s next governor, and a great one at that.
Update Jan. 5, 8:31 p.m. PT:So far, there have been 11 defeats for California RINO Kevin McCarthy of Bakersfield. Eleven slow, roll-call votes over the last 3 days, and each time McCarthy failed to reach 218, which is the minimal majority of elected House members. I’m still predicting McCarthy will NOT be elected Speaker of the House. As someone who tries to be “stubborn” for what’s right in God’s sight, I recognize there are at least 5 “Never-Kevins” in the U.S. House of Representatives, which is enough to block him from reaching 218. They are Matt Gaetz of Florida, Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Andy Biggs of Arizona, Bob Good of Virginia, and Matt Rosendale of Montana. And likely even more “Never-Kevins.” As Matt Gaetz said this evening on the Laura Ingraham Show, “I will not be voting for Kevin McCarthy. I resent the extent to which he utilizes the lobbyists and special interests to dictate how political decisions, policy decisions, and leadership decisions are made. We have zero trust in him.” Starting 9am California time on Friday, Jan. 6, you can watch Day 4 of the speakership battle on https://www.c-span.org or https://live.house.gov.
Update Jan. 4, 9:16 p.m. PT:With the evening floor session quickly adjourning without a vote, we know there will be a Republican speaker of the house, but it won’t be Kevin McCarthy. At least 5 Republicans who are currently voting for moral-values constitutional Republican Byron Donalds of Florida have publicly said they’ll never vote for McCarthy, who will never get to the 218 votes needed, and someone more conservative and honest will be chosen, probably within a couple days. Why this fight? For decades now in our country, the establishment, power-over-principle, cave-to-immorality “Republicans” have waged a not-so-quiet war with constitutional Republicans. We get RINOs when average Republicans vote for “the lesser of two evils,” which means worse and worse elected representatives, shutting out less-moneyed constitutional conservatives. It’s remarkable on the House floor 21 Republican members are standing firm to say “No more.” These moral-values constitutional champions against corruption deserve our applause. Have a Republican U.S. Representative? Call 202-225-3121 (the Capitol switchboard) and tell him or her how you want them to vote.
Update Jan. 3, 3:48 pm PT: There’s a constitutional revolution on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives! Today, on the third ballot to elect a new Speaker of the House, constitutional Republicans who want a fighter for moral, social, and fiscal values increased from 19 to 20 votes against RINO Kevin McCarthy of California and in favor of pro-family conservative standard-bearer Jim Jordan of Ohio. If they hold out for days or weeks, they can prevail; because 218 votes are required to be elected speaker, and McCarthy is only getting 202 votes. See the latest here. The House will reconvene Wednesday 12 noon ET. You can watch the floor action live here.
On Tuesday, January 3, the new Congress will be installed, and the new, Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives will vote to replace Nancy Pelosi as speaker.
Yet with Republicans holding a slim majority in the new House, the question is not whether a Republican will replace Pelosi, but what kind of Republican?
If you’ve been tracking with SaveCalifornia.com the past year, you know the intense war between Good and Evil will not be won by merely “voting right.”
In 2022, silent Republicans in the California Assembly helped bad bills pass. Likewise, on December 8, 2022, the tyrannical, sexual anarchy bill, H.R. 8404, passed the U.S. House, with Nancy Pelosi, Hakeem Jeffries (the new Democrat leader), and Steny Hoyer (the #2 Democrat under Pelosi) all standing and speaking for it.
But unlike his Democrat counterparts, the Republican minority leader, Kevin McCarthy of Bakersfield, didn’t stand and speak on the floor, and it’s apparent he didn’t in a Republican caucus either.
Because less than half a dozen Republicans spoke against this monstrous bill on the floor, and 39 “Republicans” voted for it, including McCarthy’s lieutenants Elise Stephanik (third-ranking House Republican) and Tom Emmer (incoming GOP Whip).
So, you have to ask — what good is it to read the U.S. Constitution on the floor — as Kevin McCarthy plans to do — if you won’t speak up and fight for religious freedom in the First Amendment, which H.R. 8404 crushes?
Here’s more about McCarthy’s actions hurting constitutional values:
June 15, 2016: Caught on tape: When learning the Russians had hacked the Democrat National Committee, McCarthy said, “I’ll guarantee you that’s what it is…The Russians hacked the DNC and got the opp research that they had on Trump.” “There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump. Swear to God.”
January 2021: McCarthy was again recorded, saying what he planned to tell outgoing President Donald Trump: “It would be my recommendation you should resign” and in assessing President Trump’s peaceful, First-Amendment comments at the Jan. 6, 2021 Stop the Steal rally: “atrocious and totally wrong”…”incited people”
May 3, 2021: Tucker Carlson reports that Kevin McCarthy is “rooming” with Frank Luntz, who’s been working hard to “moderate” the Republican Party
February 17, 2022: Lou Dobbs: “I’ll be kind, if not RINO, a middle-of-the-roader. I personally believe him to be outright a RINO. The party needs strength, it needs vision, it needs energy, vibrancy, and new blood in leadership — it’s that simple.”
“Moreover you shall select from all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them to be rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.” The Bible, the advice of Moses’s father-in-law Jethro, in Exodus 18:21
This is unprecedented resistance to the CDC “scheduling” any vaccine to inject into children. And it could also pressure Gavin Newsom to abandon his plans to jab all schoolchildren with the “Covid shot.”
Remember, Newsom has already backed away from his initial threat. As the medical establishment National Academy for State Health Policyreports, in California:
There is a pending statewide student COVID-19 vaccine mandate that has not yet been implemented. This requirement will take effect no sooner than July 2023 and will only apply to students in age groups for which a COVID-19 vaccine has received full FDA approval.
October 1, 2021: Gov. Gavin Newsom directed the California Department of Public Health to add the COVID-19 vaccine to the list of immunizations required for in-person school attendance. Only students in an age group for which a COVID-19 vaccine has received full FDA approval will be required to be vaccinated.
April 14, 2022: The California Department of Public Health shared that they will not initiate the regulatory process for this requirement until after July 1, 2023.
So right now, regarding mandatory “Covid shots” for kids,California is in “the twilight zone.” If Newsom is reelected, he could relent and announce “the epidemic is over.” Or he could impose a “scorched-earth” policy of mandatory “Covid shots” upon children in both government-run and private schools.
ACT NOW TO PROTECT YOUR KIDS AND GRANDKIDS
Here are steps for Californians living under tyrannical Democrat politicians:
1. CALL AND EMAIL: Tell Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom, and call and email your own state assemblymember and state senator (no matter whether they’re Democrats or Republicans). Tell them, “No mandatory Covid shots for children. Kids don’t need it and parents don’t want it!”
2. RESCUE: Decide now to rescue your children and grandchildren from the government-controlled schools. In California, homeschooling is exempt from ALL vaccination requirements. See our special site, RescueYourChild.com, and take loving action.

Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom wants to protect himself from, as he might say it, “lower-class Democrats” who are angry about quickly-increasing gas prices (which are rising nationwide due to mostly Arab nations cutting production to increase profits).
Gasoline prices were already rising in California due to several refineries undergoing maintenance, all at the same time. And now, several market-driven catalysts are expected to drive up gas prices all the more.
Of course, the biggest price impact was and is the Democrat politicians’ “green energy” agenda and their “war on oil.” These inhuman agendas have dramatically lowered oil supply, increased oil prices, and killed America’s energy independence, which was achieved under President Donald Trump.
So Newsom, realizing Californians are paying more and will be paying even higher prices this fall, wants to deflect anger away from himself. He’s blaming oil companies and says he’ll call a special legislative session in December to increase taxes or penalties or both on oil companies. But are oil companies really to blame?
U.S. oil companies have been hurting since January 2021, due to Biden & Co.’s “war on oil,” which canceled drilling permits and pipelines, along with killing oil companies’ jobs, hope, and courage. Gasoline prices have more than doubled nationwide since Jan. 2021.
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).
Like me, are you tired of viewing under $6 gas as a “good price”? It’s the price of slavery! If Newsom truly cared about lowering the price you pay at the pump, he’d announce he’s against all the bad, Democrat policies decreasing oil supply and increasing oil prices.
But no, he’d rather say he’s not to blame. But you know better. Gavin Newsom and the Democrat state legislators don’t really care about high gas prices or inflation. They’re unprincipled, just want to stay in power, and will say anything to keep their status quo.
What’s more, if Newsom is reelected and Democrat legislators keep their super-majority and pass, in a special session, new taxes or penalties on oil companies, we’ll all pay more. Because most businesses pass along higher expenses to customers, right?
Talk about a lying, thieving, backwards idea from California’s biggest Democrat of them all.
Action steps:
1. Contact your state legislators. Tell them, “Don’t foolishly raise taxes on oil companies, because they’ll just pass on the higher costs to me. Slash your bloated gas taxes, and approve more drilling and more pipelines. Give us a cheap, stable supply of energy!”
