A screaming child is an untrained child

Thursday, August 3, 2023, 1:27 pm | Randy Thomasson

Are you tired of hearing squalling, screaming kids throwing tantrums?

Temper tantrums that happen more than once are not “natural” or a “phase.” Now, temper tantrums persist because of parents who refuse to take authority and discipline their children for rebellion.

The Word of God in Proverbs 13:24 tells us: He who spares his rod hates his son, But he who loves him disciplines him promptly.

The problem is worldly parents not taking authority over their children. You can’t reason with a young child. But temporarily pain for blatant rebellion trains younger children to have self-control and respect for authority.

As renowned Christian child psychology expert Dr. James Dobson has written in his 1978 classic, The Strong-Willed Child, from which his child disciplining tips have been adapted into the 1986 pocketbook, Temper Your Child’s Tantrums:

“Corporal punishment in the hands of a loving parent…is a teaching tool by which harmful behavior is inhibited.”

“A spanking is to be reserved for use in response to willful defiance, whenever it occurs.”

“If punishment doesn’t influence human behavior, then why is the issuance of speeding tickets by police so effective in controlling traffic on a busy street? Why, then, do homeowners rush to get their tax payments in the mail to avoid a penalty for being late? If punishment has no power, why does a well-deserved spanking often turn a sullen little troublemaker into a sweet and loving angel?”

“A child is fully capable of discerning whether his parent is conveying love or hatred. This is why the youngster who knows he deserves a spanking appears almost relieved when it finally comes. Rather than being insulted by the discipline, he understands its purpose and appreciates the control it gives him over his own impulses.”

If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten? But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons. Furthermore, we have had human fathers who corrected us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live? For they indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed best to them, but He for our profit, that we may be partakers of His holiness. Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
The Bible, Hebrews 12:7-11

Most Republicans in the California Legislature have partnered with evil

Saturday, July 29, 2023, 10:19 am | Randy Thomasson

You already know about evil Democrat Party legislators. But do you realize Republicans in the California State Legislature lied to you when they said they would fight for you? You deserve to know who they are (see
these bad bill analyses and legislators’ votes at our Pro-Family Legislation Center).

Here during the Legislature’s month-long, paid vacation (ending August 14), SaveCalifornia.com has tabulated which registered Republicans in Sacramento are voting for evil Democrat bills. Here’s a partial report:

–> 9 “Republicans” in the California State Assembly have voted for Democrat bills promoting abortion (baby-killing) or the “LGBTQIA+” agenda or both:

Greg Wallis of Bermuda Dunes: AB 659, AB 5, AB 223, AB 352, AB 443, AB 492, AB 576, AB 598, AB 957, AB 1078, AB 1194, AB 1432, HR 33, ACA 5

Juan Alanis of Modesto: AB 5, AB 352, AB 443, AB 492, AB 598, AB 1194, AB 1432, HR 33, ACA 5

Marie Waldron of Escondido: AB 5, HR 33, ACA 5, SB 58, SB 541, SB 729

Diane Dixon of Newport Beach: AB 223, ACA 5

Bill Essayli of Riverside: AB 223, ACA 5

Josh Hoover of Folsom: AB 5, ACA 5

Devon Mathis of Porterville: AB 1194, ACA 5

Phillip Chen of Yorba Linda: ACA 5

Laurie Davies of Laguna Niguel: ACA 5

In addition to Democrat bills promoting baby-killing and the “LGBTQIA+” agenda:

Voting in favor of the Democrats’ radical “recreational drug” bill, SB 58, was Heath Flora of Ripon

Voting in favor of SB 596 giving chairpersons of liberal school boards the power to subjectively claim pro-family citizens speaking at public meetings have caused “substantial disorder,” so that you’ll be arrested and charged with a misdemeanor crime, were Juan Alanis and Josh Hoover

Voting in favor of AB 1352 to permit liberal school board majorities to remove a pro-family school board member from office were Juan AlanisPhillip ChenMegan DahleLaurie DaviesDiane DixonBill EssayliHeath FloraVince FongJames Gallagher,Josh HooverTom LackeyJim PattersonJoe PattersonKate SanchezTri TaMarie WaldronGreg Wallis

–> 2 “Republicans” in the California State Senate have voted for Democrat bills promoting baby-killing or “LGBTQIA+” or both:

Scott Wilk of Santa Clarita: AB 352, AB 1194, AB 1352, ACA 5

Rosilicie Ochoa Bogh of Yucaipa: SR 33, SB 760, AB 1352

In addition to Democrat bills promoting baby-killing and the “LGBTQIA+” agenda:

Voting in favor of SB 274, largely eliminating government-school suspensions or expulsions of disruptive, defiant “students,” were Scott Wilk, Rosilicie Ochoa BoghJanet Nguyen of Huntington Beach, and Brian Dahle of Bieber

Conclusion: Of the 8 Republicans in the 40-member California State Senate and the 18 Republicans in the 80-member California State Assembly, unlike constitutional and often Christian Republican fighters of past decades, none today can be counted on to use their most valuable asset — their voice — to consistently stand and speak to expose the harm of immoral. ungodly Democrat-authored bills. It’s a shame, because when you’re in the minority party in the Legislature, your voice matters much more than your votes.

Obviously, with so many Republican legislators supporting anti-family or otherwise harmful bills, and with none of the current crop of California Republican state legislators caring enough to regularly stand and expose immoral Democrat bills, there’s a crying need for concerned citizens and biblical pastors to recruit constitutional fighters, who know their main job in Sacramento isn’t money, popularity, or comfort, but steadfastly, lovingly, and truthfully speaking in committee and on the floor to expose the harm of Democrat Party bills. Stop accepting deceptive crumbs from mute Republicans or from Republicans who vote for harmful Democrat bills!

Dems and RINOs put marriage anarchy on the 2024 ballot

Thursday, July 13, 2023, 1:34 pm | Randy Thomasson

It’s truly evil and harmful to children and society that Thursday morning on July 13th, the Democrat-controlled California Senate passed a legally powerful, radical, and completely subjective definition of “marriage,” which, if foolish voters agree to add it to the State Constitution, would be dreadful.

Thank you for everyone who called. You did your job, SaveCalifornia.com fought hard, but the Senate Democrats were wicked and the Senate Republicans did not fight for you.

On the California State Senate floor, 13 Democrats spoke for, and only 1 Republican (Brian Dahle) spoke weakly against, ACA 5.

If approved by a majority of California voters, it would deceptively insert 8 very broad, non-specific words, “The right to marry is a fundamental right,” into the California State Constitution.

Yet ACA 5 has no definitions of marriage or spouse, and no limit on spouses. Placing marriage subjectivity into the California State Constitution and calling it a fundamental rightabove all other marriage-regulating statutes and every other marriage standard (such as number of persons in the marriage, minimum age to be a spouse, prohibitions against incestuous marriages, the assumption that a spouse be a person, etc.) renders current marriage laws unapplicable. ACA 5 powerfully erases all marriage “limitations” and boundaries!

Yet, despite having our analysis, not one Republican state senator voted no or exposed ACA 5’s radical legal effect – the very broad and subjective “right to marry,” with NO definitions, NO standards, and NO boundaries.

Meanwhile, most of the Democrats speaking in favor of ACA 5 were open homosexuals, who childishly said a vote against ACA 5 was a vote to hate them personally. Especially disgusting were the Democrat senators who stood and spoke to either reject or redefine Christianity as “justification” for this radical, anti-family, immoral bill.

And don’t forget that, on June 26 in the lower house, the California State Assembly, 58 Democrats and 9 Republicans voted for this monstrosity. The Republicans were Juan Alanis, Phillip Chen, Laurie Davies, Diane Dixon, Bill Essayli, Josh Hoover, Devon Mathis, Marie Waldron, and Greg Wallis.

ACA 5 will go on the November 2024 ballot as a proposed state constitutional amendment. Today, please share this with your friends so reasonable Californians can plan now to vote NO next year. Let’s unite against polygamy, “child marriages,” incestuous “marriages,” and people-object “marriages”!

And He answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”
Jesus Christ, Savior of the world and God in the flesh, in Matthew 19:4-6
