Horrible new laws and who voted for them

Wednesday, January 1, 2025, 6:18 pm | Randy Thomasson

Now that 2025 is here, horrible new laws are in effect in California. You can thank Democrat Party and RINO state legislators (as well as Big Democrat Gavin Newsom, who signed them into law last year).

Here are some of the worst:

PUSH BACK: Two federal lawsuits were filed last year (read about one of them), charging that AB 1955 violates the 1st and 14th Amendments of the U.S. Constitution, as well as a federal law called the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).

And of the immoral laws listed in this post, RINOs joined the Dems in passing them — EXCEPT only Dems voted in favor of AB 1955 keeping a child’s sexual confusion secret from his or her own parents.

Of these 7 evil bills, here’s who voted to pass them in 2024 in the California State Legislature:

AB 1955: Only Democrats, a supermajority in both houses, voted “yes”
AB 1825: Joining the supermajority Democrats in voting “yes” were 4 Assembly Republicans: Juan Alanis, Phillip Chen, Marie Waldron, Greg Wallis
AB 2319: Joining the supermajority Democrats in voting “yes” were 3 Assembly Republicans (Juan Alanis, Marie Waldron, Greg Wallis) and 1 Republican state senator (Scott Wilk)
SB 957: Joining the supermajority Democrats in voting “yes” were 6 Assembly Republicans: Juan Alanis, Laurie Davies, Diane Dixon, Kate Sanchez, Marie Waldron, and Greg Wallis
AB 2085: Joining the supermajority Democrats in voting “yes” were were 3 Assembly Republicans: Juan Alanis, Laurie Davies, Greg Wallis
AB 2099: Joining the supermajority Democrats in voting “yes” were 9 Assembly Republicans: Juan Alanis, Phillip Chen, Laurie Davies, Diane Dixon, Heath Flora, Josh Hoover, Devon Mathis, Marie Waldron, and Greg Wallis
SB 233: Joining the supermajority Democrats in voting yes” were 2 Assembly Republicans: Juan Alanis and Greg Wallis

“Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea.”

How to have a real Christmas

Saturday, December 21, 2024, 10:33 am | Randy Thomasson

Before I get into the good news of Christmas, let me explain why fewer people celebrate real Christmas.

The Communist Manifesto written by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in 1848 can be summarized in six points: Abolish private property, abolish the Natural Family, abolish individuality (replace with groupism), abolish religion and morality (especially Christianity and Christian virtues), abolish nations and borders, and abolish history.

So when you hear more “Happy Holidays” and less “Merry Christmas,” you know that Communism is ravenously erasing history and religion on U.S. soil. But at Christmastime, submission to anti-Christ forces is largely voluntary. So I urge you — choose “Merry Christmas” and the Real Reason for CHRISTmas!

Stop and realize that six decades ago, “Merry Christmas” and “Jesus is the Reason for the Season” was central in our American culture. Yes, Jesus Christ, Savior of the world, used to be popularly honored this time of year. Back in the late 1950s and early 1960s, you’d hear on mainstream radio stations Silent Night sung by Johnny Mathis; Mary’s Little Boy Child sung by Harry Belafonte; and Do You Hear What I Hear? sung by Bing Crosby.

To inspire you to honor Jesus Christ in your heart, mind, and soul, listen to these excellent recordings:

Mary’s Boy Child (1957, sung by Harry Belafonte)
Silent Night (1958, sung by Johnny Mathis, plus his first Christmas album)
Do You Hear What I Hear? (1963, sung by Bing Crosby)
The Little Drummer Boy (1965, sung by The Harry Simeone Chorale)

And to inspire your whole family (you can play these for hours), here are 129 “Christ Centered Christmas Songs.” Deanna, who posted on YouTube these contemporary, beautiful Christmas song recordings, wrote, “The reason for Christmas is Christ, not a ‘winter wonderland.'” This is historically and spiritually true!

Lastly, before your family’s gift exchange, I encourage you to open your Bible to the Gospel of Luke, and read the real Christmas story in Chapters 1 and 2. Let the truth of CHRISTmas touch your souls and make you glad!

“The very purpose of Christ’s coming into the world was that He might offer up His life as a sacrifice for the sins of men. He came to die. This is the heart of Christmas.”
U.S. Christian evangelist Billy Graham (1918-2018)

How to have a real Thanksgiving

Tuesday, November 26, 2024, 5:25 pm | Randy Thomasson

What’s the real meaning of Thanksgiving?

Turn the word around and it’s GivingThanks.

But to whom do you give thanks (since you thank a person)?

On Thanksgiving Day and hopefully every day, humble, in-reality people will thank Creator God in Jesus’ Name for His creation, sustenance, Word, love, etc. Because, without Him, we’d be nothing and have nothing!

A great way to help those at your table give God glory is to ask, “What are you thankful to God for?” This substantive question, when safely and patiently asked, helps others give God the credit where credit is due. (You might need to remind them, “What do you specifically thank God for?” instead of just being glad about something.)

See these videos to stimulate you and others to praise Creator God in Jesus’ Name: Thankful | Thank You God

Remember, a grateful heart helps everyone. So challenge yourself to be thankful. Take a minute to reignite your soul to thank the Author of Life for air, food, water, and our basic necessities. Focus on the One who made the sun in the sky, the oceans, the animals, every original food and substance, and all we rely on, including the ground we walk on.

Lastly, stop and realize there are two types of people: Those who sincerely thank God, and those who “did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful” (Romans 1:21). And consider how thanking God not only gives God His due, but also calms your mind, since gratitude and worry cannot coexist in the same moment.

“…that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.”
Jesus Christ, Savior of the world and God in the flesh, in Matthew 5:45

“Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heav’nly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.”
From the 1674 Christian hymn by English Pastor Thomas Ken
