I have long advocated against voting for “any Republican.” Because when you compare a liberal Democrat to a liberal Republican, ONLY the “Republican” can destroy the Republican Party from within.
And that’s what’s happening in California, as wrongly-motivated Republican officeholders and leaders partner with evil. Because when one’s motives are money, position, power, and false significance, it’s all too easy be self-centered and “sell out” to the highest bidder.
What is a good Republican?
SaveCalifornia.com reported to you last month about the Republican-majority city council of Huntington Beach no longer flying the “LGBTQIA+ pride” flag. Because their new ordinance only permits government and military flags on city property. This is highly commendable and a role-model for Republican city councils throughout California.
And nationally, it’s encouraging that, so far, 8 states have prohibited or restricted transsexual surgeries or procedures for minors. Florida just joined Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Mississippi, where state legislatures have a Republican majority. Republicans who voted yes are real Republicans!
What is a bad Republican?
Even when Republicans are the minority, they should speak up to sway key Democrat legislators and to educate the public. Yet, sadly, that’s not the M.O. of “Republicans” in Sacramento:
1. Silent Republican assemblymembers: Last year, several high-profile anti-family bills narrowly passed the Assembly floor when zero Republicans spoke to expose them. This was despite their offices receiving expert talking points about these truly awful bills.
2. Freshman Republicans selling out in Sacramento: And here in 2023, of the 8 freshmen Republican assemblymembers, several have already voted against family values. Voting yes on child mutilation and eliminating a parent’s right to know (AB 223) were Republicans Diane Dixon and Bill Essayli, while Republican Kate Sanchez voted no. Voting yes to accuse sincerely-religious law enforcement candidates of “biased conduct” (AB 443), when their social media follows a “hate group” (which Leftists call pro-family organizations in favor of Creator God’s design for marriage, sex, and family) were Republicans Juan Alanis and Tom Lackey. Coauthoring ACA 5 to put “marriage equality” on the ballot was Republican Greg Wallis. So far, half of the new Republicans – the RINOs — are selling out!
3. Anti-family, then “pro-family,” then anti-family: On Sunday, March 12, at the California Republican Party convention, 70% of the delegates voted to fully embrace (permanently charter) the “LGBTQIA+”- agenda “Log Cabin Republicans” (founded in 1977 to advocate for homosexual teachers). Eyewitnesses saw Assemblyman Bill Essayli of Riverside County stand and speak in support of honoring and embracing this anti-family group.
The following day, Monday, March 13, Essayli held a district news conference to publicize his amended bill, AB 1314, to require public schools to inform parents in writing if a child “identifies” as “transgender.” Yet the very next day, Tuesday, March 14, Essayli voted yes in committee for the Democrats’ AB 223 to push aside parents by requiring secrecy for minors seeking a legal change of “gender identity.” So he’s against secret “transitions” at school, but OK with them in court?
By advocating for the “LGBTQIA+” agenda at the GOP convention and in committee, Essayli has shown his true colors. His legislation to notify parents of their child’s “transgender” identity won’t survive a Democrat-run committee, but his vote for secret “transitions” in court will likely pass the Democrat-controlled Legislature. “Republican games” like this are sickening, aren’t they?

There’s a big problem with Kevin McCarthy’s new rules approved Monday — there’s NO investigation of the fraud committed in the 2020 and 2022 elections!
But you and millions of Americans know election fraud is a severe, direct, and foundational threat to the democratic republic that is the United States of America. For if we don’t have the security and reliability of “one person, one vote,” our system of government is gone!
Sadly, the U.S. Supreme Court doesn’t even have four judges willing to take these cases. Since 2020, they’ve turned down every election-fraud lawsuit petitioning the high court.
What’s more, Kevin McCarthy, the new Speaker of the House from Bakersfield, apparently doesn’t believe, or doesn’t want to admit, election fraud exists.
In January 2021, McCarthy was recorded saying he planned to tell outgoing President Donald Trump, “It would be my recommendation you should resign.”
McCarthy also said Trump’s peaceful, First-Amendment comments at the January 6, 2021 Stop the Steal rally were “atrocious and totally wrong”…”incited people.”
In-the-know Americans are fed-up. If the Republican U.S. House don’t investigate and expose the problems with our elections, they’re unloving cowards.
It’s up to House Republicans to expose election fraud and protect election integrity. Because without it, America is not only “toast,” but is quickly becoming an evil dictatorship.
Bottom line, it is completely unacceptable for Kevin McCarthy and other House Republicans to NOT investigate election fraud — please tell them so today!
TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION
1. Everyone, call new Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy, day or night. Tell him, “I demand you authorize a special committee to investigate election fraud. It’s terrible you left this out. Approve it now!” (202) 225-2915 and (661) 327-3611
2. Call and email your own Republican U.S. House member. Tell him or her, “Where’s the subcommittee to investigate election fraud? You need to push for a special committee to investigate all the problems with the 2020 and 2022 elections. America needs this now!”
If you don’t know for certain who your U.S. House member is, search here.
3. If your own U.S. Representative is not Republican (or if you want to do more), leave anonymous messages at night for California’s 12 Republican members:
And behold, one having come near, said to Him, “Good Teacher, what good thing will I do that I may have continuous life?” And He said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one [is] good except one—God; but if you will to enter into life, keep the commands.” He says to Him, “What kind?” And Jesus said, “You will not murder, You will not commit adultery, You will not steal, You will not bear false witness, Honor your father and mother, and, You will love your neighbor as yourself.” Jesus Christ, Savior of the world and God in the flesh, in the Bible, Matthew 19:16-19

Saying Grace by Norman Rockwell, 1951
What does Thanksgiving really mean? When you turn the word around, it reads, “giving thanks.” That’s a clue, because when we thank, we thank persons, don’t we?
In the Bible, thanksgiving means Giving Thanks to God, for creating and sustaining us:
Know that the Lord, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting, And His truth endures to all generations. Psalm 100: 3-5
Yet many people find it difficult to be genuinely thankful to Creator God.
For some, it’s because they don’t thank Him daily. Others lack a Biblical worldview. Still others believe in thanking God, but focus more on losses, producing a sad or angry countenance.
Yet God, who wants a voluntary-love relationship with us, gave people the choice to worship Him or not, to obey or disobey, to be blessed or cursed.
By this standard, we know the difference between good and evil; that people’s sins create problems in this world; and that the God of the Bible, Who sustains us all, is good all the time.
“Thank-you therapy” pays off. When we look into the Word of God and look up, we can have thankful hearts, every day.
Want to inspire thankful hearts at your Thanksgiving table? Ask everyone to say what they thank God for — not thanking anyone or anything else — but specifically thanking God.
You’ll be surprised how, for many, thanking God is a brand-new thought — which might just be the best thought they ever had.
But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Hebrews 11:6
