And offshore oil drilling is better than ever, with these significant improvements required by the U.S. government since October 2011, which have proven effective in preventing large spills:
Sturdier wells
Improved blowout protectors
Robotic subs on every oil rig
Improved preparedness for future blowouts
Improved technology for tracking and controlling released oil
“Offshore oil drilling could begin in Southern California for the first time in decades, due to a proposal from the Trump administration to open federal waters off the entire state coastline.
“Drilling in the Pacific Ocean could begin as soon as 2027 off Southern and Central California — and in 2029 off Northern California — if President Donald Trump’s offshore plan moves forward. But many state leaders and residents are already mobilizing in opposition.
“Offshore operations supply about 15 percent of the nation’s domestic oil, according to the Department of the Interior. Federal estimates indicate the Outer Continental Shelf still holds roughly 68.8 billion barrels of undiscovered oil and 229 trillion cubic feet of natural gas.
“Environmental groups in California have been outspoken in their opposition, but the American Petroleum Institute and other leading oil and gas associations backed reviewing new Outer Continental Shelf leasing areas in a June letter.
“In 2050, as is the case today, more than half of U.S. demand is expected to be met by oil and natural gas,” they wrote. “Continuous exploration and drilling will be needed to meet these expectations.”
NOTE: New oil pumped offshore (federal jurisdiction) would likely have to be shipped to non-California refineries, since California’s Democrat Party politicians are expected to continue to block pipelines and trucks on “their land.”
Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” The Bible, Genesis 1:26-28

If you voted for Democrats, you voted for this!
In 1982, California had more than 40 refineries, but soon, we’ll go down to only 7. When this happens, the gasoline supply will become unstable, resulting in shortages, while prices skyrocket — courtesy of the anti-people Democrat Party politicians in control of California state government.
Phillips 66’s refinery in Los Angeles is closing down this month. Then, as soon as January, Valero will shut down its big refinery in Benicia at the southwest edge of Solano County.
Newsom & the Democrats (who control 3/4ths of the seats in both houses of the California State Legislature) were warned in Spring 2025, but so far they’ve done nothing substantial to prevent this supply-chain problem:
GasBuddy.com’s Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick De Haan on his X account said, “It’s clear that the political environment in California has been hostile to refiners, and the state badly needs to revise its mentality or face a declining number of refineries and higher prices.”
So why are California gas prices already the highest nationwide?
“The growing difference between the price of crude oil and the retail cost of gas and diesel as well as the additional cost Californians pay compared to every bordering state and the rest of the U.S. is:
The Sacramento surcharge
The cost of California
The growing of Government
The Low Carbon Fuel Standard
The Cap and Trade Program
Vapor recycling requirements
Data collection
Air quality mandated equipment replacements
So California, the fact of the matter is, you are paying the same or less for the crude oil contained in a gallon of gas or diesel. You are just paying a lot more for government.”

This is an emergency alert to STOP Republican state legislators from voting in favor of anti-family sexual perversity — BIG votes June 2-6!
SCROLL DOWN FOR YOUR ACTION STEPS
PROBLEM #1:In the worst example in decades of Republicans selling out family values in California, 2 awful Democrat Party bills to sexually indoctrinate children all the more HAVE PASSED the State Assembly, with RINOs joining the supermajority Democrats.
AB 86 by Democrat Party Assemblywoman Tasha Boerner would require the California State Board of Education to adopt K-8 “sexual health education materials.” All based on the anti-family 2019 curriculum frameworks requiring kids to be positively taught to accept masturbation, oral sex, teen fornication, homosexuality, bisexuality, transsexuality, abortion, and more.
AB 86 has been sent to the State Senate after its May 29 passage on the Assembly floor (see video 3:12:00 to 3:13:17 in which no Republican spoke against it; voting yes for this sexual indoctrination bill were 51 Democrats + 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; abstaining were 8 Republicans: Leticia Castillo, Phillip Chen, Heather Hadwick, Tom Lackey, Joe Patterson, Kate Sanchez, Tri Ta, and David Tangipa). Previously, on May 23, this bad bill passed the Assembly Appropriations Committee (voting yes were all the Democrats + Republicans Diane Dixon and David Tangipa; no vote recorded for Republicans Kate Sanchez and Tri Ta). Earlier, on March 12, this bad bill passed the Assembly Education Committee (voting yes was nearly every Democrat + Republicans Josh Hoover of east Sacramento County and Leticia Castillo of west Riverside County; Democrat Robert Garcia of Rancho Cucamonga did not vote).
AB 715 authored by Democrat Party Assemblyman Rick Zbur, a homosexual activist, would order that K-12 government schools “shall not adopt or approve adopt, approve, or allow the use of any textbook, instructional material, supplemental instructional material, or curriculum for classroom instruction if the use of the textbook, instructional material, supplemental instructional material, or curriculum would subject a pupil to unlawful discrimination pursuant to Section 220.”
Deceptively sold as combating antisemitism, this bad bill (a product of the so-called “Diversity Caucus”) is based on Education Code, Section 220, which includes and promotes “gender, gender identity, gender expression … sexual orientation.” Let no one be deceived — “LGBTQIA+” activists want AB 715 to sexually indoctrinate children all the more. For AB 715 prohibiting any material that “would subject a pupil to unlawful discrimination” could result in 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 would erase history and science for millions of California children.
AB 715 has been sent to the State Senate after its May 29 passage on the Assembly floor (voting yes were 51 Democrats + 17 Republicans: Juan Alanis, Leticia Castillo, Laurie Davies, Carl DeMaio, Diane Dixon, Stan Ellis, Heath Flora, James Gallagher, Jeff Gonzalez, Heather Hadwick, Josh Hoover, Tom Lackey, Alexandra Macedo, Joe Patterson, Kate Sanchez, Tri Ta, Greg Wallis; abstaining were Republicans Phillip Chen and David Tangipa). Speaking in favor of AB 715 on the Assembly floor (see the video 1:50:16 to 2:18:30).were 9 Democrats (including homosexual activists Rick Zbur and Corey Jackson) + Republican Jeff Gonzalez, who foolishly claimed the bill was fulfilling Jesus Christ’s command “that we love our neighbor.”
PROBLEM #2: The first week of the month — June 2 through 6 — are deadline Assembly floor sessions, where MORE BAD BILLS that “Republicans” will be tempted to support will come up for votes. So please CALL the Republicans to say it’s UNACCEPTABLE for them to support these anti-family bills!
EMERGENCY ALERT: Tell the Republicans to oppose anti-family, “LGBTQIA+” bills coming up for votes
WHAT TO SAY: Tell Republicans, “I want you to stand and speak against the anti-family ‘LGBTQIA+” agenda bills! You need to expose and oppose AB 727 (pushing a pro-transsexuality group upon children), AB 908 (pushing more “LGBT” curriculum upon kids), AB 932 (pushing transsexuality in school and community sports programs), AB 1084 (cutting out parents from children’s so-called “sex changes”), and AB 1487 (taxpayer funding of transsexual “outreach” to ruin more children).”

5 ANTI-FAMILY, ‘LGBTQIA+’ BILLS SET FOR ASSEMBLY FLOOR VOTES JUNE 2-6
AB 727 by Democrat Party Assemblyman Mark Gonzalez + 4 other Democrats would promote transsexuality to millions of schoolchildren by requiring a pro-transsexuality suicide hotline number to be imprinted upon all student ID cards in grades 7-12, including at private schools. According to AB 727, a suicide hotline for “sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression, or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.” This would also be a mandate upon private religious schools that issue student ID cards.
AB 908 by Democrat Party Assemblyman Jose Solache would require an annual compliance review of the current law requiring “social sciences to include a study of the role and contributions of, among others, people of all genders, Latino Americans, LGBTQ+ Americans, and members of other ethnic, cultural, religious, and socioeconomic status groups.” The goal of this bad bill is to ensure pro-“LGBT+” curriculum is taught to children in all K-12 government school districts.
AB 932 by Democrat Party Assemblywoman Jacqui Irwin prohibits “gender” discrimination in city and county sports programs. In the California statutes, “gender” means subjective “gender identity” and “gender expression.” As such, this bill would still promote transsexuality over people’s consciences, would invade girls’ sports in particular, and opens the door to lawsuits against dissenters. In sum, the amended AB 932 tells public schools and city/county/special district sports facilities that biological males must be permitted to play on females’ teams and use females’ locker rooms and restrooms, and vice versa — or risk a private party lawsuit that aims to penalize you with financial damages. As the latest Legislative Counsel’s Digest describes, AB 932 would prohibit “a city, county, city and county, special district, school district, county office of education, or charter school from discriminating against a person on the basis of sex or gender in the operation, conduct, or administration of community youth athletics programs or interscholastic athletic programs, or in the allocation of parks and recreation facilities and resources or school and recreation facilities and resources that support or enable these programs.”
AB 1084 by Democrat Party Assemblyman Rick Zbur + other “LGBTQ Caucus” members would fast-track legal changes to minors’ “genders.” The new “gender identifier” will be granted unless parents file a written objection “showing good cause” within 6 weeks of the original petition being filed – and courts have up to 30 days to notify them. This does not give adequate time for parents to find out, get an attorney, and file a well-writtten objection “showing good cause” why the new “gender identifier” should not be granted.
AB 1487 by Democrat Party Assemblywoman Dawn Addis proposes to rename the State Dept. of Public Health’s current “Transgender, Gender Nonconforming, and Intersex Wellness and Equity Fund” as “the Two-Spirit, Transgender, Gender Nonconforming, and Intersex (2TGI) Wellness and Equity Fund” to receive taxpayer-funded appropriations to fund “TGI-serving organizations” to get to “asylees and immigrants” and “transitional-age 2TGI youth” (TGI = “transgender, transsexual, gender-diverse, and intersex”).
