Were there any moral victories in California?

UPDATE Dec. 2, 2024: Pro-family Christian Republicans Leticia Castillo and Jeff Gonzalez were sworn in today after flipping Democrat Party seats. Pray that they speak in committee and on the Assembly floor for what’s right in God’s sight! Mostly-conservative Republican Steven Choi also flipped an Orange County state senate seat and was sworn in today.

Yes, there are victories to celebrate!

Of the eight bad propositions, there were four defeated: The foolish and harmful Prop. 5, Prop. 6, Prop. 32, and Prop. 33. These were stopped because majority of voters understood them (and weren’t led astray by establishment lies, as they were with Prop. 3 marriage anarchy).

The defeated bad propositions on the California ballot:

Prop. 5 would have permitted higher property taxes (attacking Prop. 13 from 1978) by lowering the “vote threshold from 66.67% to 55% for local special taxes and bond measures to fund housing projects and public infrastructure.” Targeted all property owners.More about Prop. 5

Prop. 6 would have called it “slavery” to make prisoners do work they don’t wish to do. This soft-on-crime proposition would have prohibited the Department of Corrections from disciplining (removing privileges from) convicts who refuse their work assignments. More about Prop. 6

Prop. 32 would have increased the “minimum wage” to $18/hr. for all California employees (killing even more jobs and businesses). More about Prop. 32

Prop. 33 would have permitted cities and counties to impose deceptive “rent control,” resulting in fewer rentals and higher rents, as frustrated landlords sell their rental houses and duplexes to become non-rental primary residences, and as developers lack investors to build new rentals. More about Prop. 33

And of course, Prop. 36’s decisive passage to empower county district attorneys to make retail theft a crime again was a great victory over Newsom & the Democrat-Party-run Legislature’s pro-criminal agenda.

What’s more, in Southern California and the San Francisco Bay Area, pro-criminal district attorneys were fired. George-Soros-funded, pro-criminal district attorneys George Gascón of Los Angeles County and Pamela Price of Alameda County were booted from office.

Pro-family pick-ups: In the California State Legislature, there STILL might be two moral, pro-family Republican pick-ups in the Assembly and one Republican pick-up in the State Senate:

Jeff Gonzalez is the Republican candidate for State Assembly District 36 in San Bernardino and Imperial counties. Gonzalez is a Bible-based Christian pastor, who’s likely to speak and fight for your moral-social-fiscal-conservative-constitutional values.

Leticia Castillo is a professing, Bible-believing Christian Republican candidate for State Assembly District 58 in western Riverside County, plus Grand Terrace in San Bernardino County. If elected, she is also likely to speak up for moral and family values.

Steven Choi, the Republican candidate for State Senate District 37 in Orange County (while in the State Assembly, Choi voted conservative most of the time, but was not known as much of a speaker or fighter).

Bad laws passed by the Democrat-Party-controlled California Legislature and signed by Democrat-Party governors mean the longest “counting” of ballots nationwide. It’s terrible that California’s counties don’t have to report their final counts until Dec. 6 and the California Secretary of State won’t certify the election until Dec. 13.

Let this long “counting” be a reminder to us all: If you want election integrity and investigations to expose it, always vote against Democrats and RINOs, who obstruct the “one person, one vote” American foundation of representative government.

What’s more, the next Attorney General of the United States needs to conduct a tough audit of the vote-counting practices of California and other Democrat-Party-controlled states.

Because the days of blanket trust are gone, and the burden is on vote counters to provide evidence of accuracy.

You have to ask why the Democrat Party politicians and their slavish bureaucrats (big-county registrars of voters) are so opposed to voter ID with photo, so giddy about littering the state with vote-by-mail ballots, so addicted to computer-based voting, and permitting a WHOLE MONTH of “counting,” “processing,” “curing,” and more?

Newsom’s continues his homeless deception

Friday, July 26, 2024, 10:05 am | Randy Thomasson

Could Newsom have cleaned up homeless encampments? And will he?

When the U.S. Supreme Court ruled June 28 that banning homeless encampments is NOT cruel and unusual punishment, some Democrat Party big-city mayors – who’ve coddled transients for years – have finally said, “OK, the homeless encampments have got to go!”

One of them is San Francisco’s Democrat Party Mayor London Breed, who, on July 18, announced her “very aggressive” sweep of San Francisco homeless encampments will begin in August.

But will they? Earlier this year in Florida, Ron DeSantis and his Republican state legislature prohibited local governments from permitting camping or sleeping on public property.

The State of Florida will oversee local governments that set up new homeless encampments where transients can camp “up to a year.”

This is how to do it: Ban encampments on public property (streets, sidewalks, parks, etc.) and provide temporary group shelters where no alcohol or illegal drugs are permitted, but counseling and drug abuse treatment are required. (Yet Bible-based counseling and salvation would be the ultimate healer.)

Will Big Democrat Gavin Newsom do what Florida’s done, by calling a special legislative session or invoking his “emergency powers” he’s so fond of?

Nope — which is why banning homeless encampments statewide just won’t happen. We’ll have to see which cities actually do it. Because the Democrat Party mayor of Los Angeles won’t, and the Democrat Party mayor of Sacramento probably won’t either.

All Newsom did on July 25 was “order” his administration to clean away homeless encampments on state-owned property (state buildings, state freeways and highways, forests and wilderness areas, along waterways, etc.), which is just a drop in the bucket.

And this isn’t just my opinion. Liberal UCLA professor Chris Herring, who the Big Media likes quoting, said, “Newsom could have issued this order before the (Supreme Court) decision. The only difference now is that states and localities are free to confine and arrest people even when there is no shelter available.”

Bottom line, you can expect most Democrat Party politicians to continue allowing homeless encampments, because it fits their philosophy that people aren’t responsible for their behavior, and advances their New Communist agenda to burden the middle class.

For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat. For we hear that there are some who walk among you in a disorderly manner, not working at all, but are busybodies. Now those who are such we command and exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ that they work in quietness and eat their own bread.
The Bible, 2 Thessalonians 3:10-12

Sign the science-based Doctors Protecting Children declaration

Saturday, June 8, 2024, 8:38 am | Randy Thomasson

There’s a new campaign to pressure the medical establishment to stop promoting “sex change” treatments and operations for children.

Announced Thursday by science-based physicians, healthcare professionals, and medical organizations, the Doctors Protecting Children coalition is looking for millions of Americans to sign their declaration urging American medical professional organizations to cease their so-called “gender-affirming care” that targets confused kids for lifelong ruination.

From the conclusion of this excellent declaration: “…we, the undersigned, call upon the medical professional organizations of the United States, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Endocrine Society, the Pediatric Endocrine Society, American Medical Association, the American Psychological Association, and the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry to follow the science and their European professional colleagues and immediately stop the promotion of social affirmation, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries for children and adolescents who experience distress over their biological sex.”

I’ve publicly signed the science-based Doctors Protecting Children Declaration, and you can too. It’s quick and easy, and you can hide your name if you wish. See and sign the declaration now.

Transgenderism is explicitly addressed in the Bible. This fact reminds us that the phenomenon of trans-sexual expression is not new. The practice is a deviant display of witness rebellion against the created order of God. For those, like Foucault, who saw gender as merely social constructs, enforced by puritanical power structures and subject to deconstruction, the voice of God in the Bible still speaks: “A woman shall not wear a man’s garment, nor shall a man put on a woman’s cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God” (Deuteronomy 22:5).
