Proof your money is being wasted by Democrat Party politicians

Sunday, April 13, 2025, 5:47 pm | Randy Thomasson

As the April 15 tax return deadline approaches, be glad that DOGE is exposing waste and fraud in California! This is much-needed proof that the ruling Democrat Party politicians led by Newsom & Co. are OK with fraud.

This latest discovery about the waste and fraud within Newsom’s EDD (Employment Development Department) should convince every reasonable Californian to:

1) Never again think government needs more of your money
2) Always vote NO on tax increases, tax extensions, and bonds (all deceptive money grabs by wasteful state and local governments)

As Fox News first reported on 4/11/25:

After finding $382 million in fraudulent unemployment payments since 2020, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) identified California, New York and Massachusetts as the primary culprits. 

The three Democrat-led states accounted for $305 million in improper claim payments, DOGE said Thursday.

The group added that California also accounted for 68% of the benefits that were dispensed under former President Joe Biden to parolees identified by federal authorities as being on the government’s terrorist watchlist, or who had criminal records.

California, New York and Massachusetts all have a Democratic trifecta — meaning Democrats control the state House, Senate and the governor’s office. They also have a Democratic triplex, which includes party control of the Attorney General, Secretary of State and governorship.

The above new story was based on a DOGE post on X on 4/10/25

An initial survey of Unemployment Insurance claims since 2020 revealed the following:

– 24.5k people over 115 years old claimed $59M in benefits

– 28k people between 1 and 5 years old claimed $254M in benefits

– 9.7k people with birth dates over 15 years in the future claimed $69M in benefits

In one case, someone with a birthday in 2154 claimed $41k.

California, New York, and Massachusetts accounted for most of these improper claims, totaling $305M in unemployment benefits.

Additionally, California accounted for 68% of the unemployment benefits paid to parolees identified by CBP on the terrorist watchlist or with criminal records.

And like DOGE, SaveCalifornia.com has been working here in 2025 to expose the THEFT committed by Democrat Party politicians and their allies (union bosses, establishment bureaucrats, and RINOs).

Thank you for your support and for sharing our information with more people who need to know! Below are some of SaveCalifornia.com’s popular social media posts (click the images to see the full posts):

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage.”

Fact-checking Gavin Newsom

Saturday, March 8, 2025, 10:51 am | Randy Thomasson

Is Gavin Newsom lying — again? Probably, maybe, and definitely.

1. CLAIM: On March 1, he declared he was fast-tracking “forest management” to prevent wildfires.

FACT: But Newsom has made window-dressing announcements like this before, such as touting that he “took similar action in March 2019 to expedite forest management projects.” But as liberal Capitol Public Radio reported in 2021: “Overall, California’s response has faltered under Newsom. After an initial jump during his first year in office, data obtained by CapRadio and NPR’s California Newsroom show Cal Fire’s fuel reduction output dropped by half in 2020, to levels below Gov. Jerry Brown’s final year in office. At the same time, Newsom slashed roughly $150 million from Cal Fire’s wildfire prevention budget.”

Does California have a governor or not? If any more wildfires incinerate neighborhoods or communities, know this — it’s Newsom’s fault.

2. CLAIM: On March 3, Newsom ordered state employees to be in the office for “a default minimum of four in-person days per work week.”

FACT: Unfortunately, this order isn’t effective until the summer. Yet Newsom’s own supporters are already crying foul. The largest state employee union (SEIU Local 1000) has filed an “unfair practice charge” with the state’s Public Employment Relations Board. Another government union, the California Association of State Attorney and Administrative Law Judges, also opposes “returning to the office.” If Newsom doesn’t hold union bosses and bureaucrats accountable, his words were mere talk (remember he’s mocked DOGE). We’ll find out July 1.

3. CLAIM: On March 6, Gavin Newsom said it’s “deeply unfair” for “trans” athletes to be in girls’ and women’s sports. This was during a discussion with moral conservative Charlie Kirk on Newsom’s new “This is Gavin Newsom” podcast.

FACT: Yet, at the same time, Newsom didn’t commit to doing anything to stop biological boys from invading girls’ sports. As governor, Newsom has signed many bills to promote transsexuality in classrooms, school restrooms, teacher training, foster homes, libraries, department stores, hospitals, insurance policies, courts, and in other states (Children, come to California for your secret, taxpayer-funded “sex change”). Newsom is pro-”trans” all the way. See his bill signings in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024.

My little children, let us not love in word
or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.

But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

TOP ALERT: Urge the Trump Administration to help California in these 10 ways

Thursday, February 27, 2025, 12:50 pm | Randy Thomasson

Please scroll down to see 10 essential things you can urge the Trump Administration to do in California. But first, celebrate the good that President Trump is already doing!

Here are 3 needful ways President Trump is already helping California:

1. HALTING THE BULLET TRAIN BOONDOGGLE: In Los Angeles on Feb. 20, President Trump’s Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced he’s commencing a “compliance review” into California’s wasteful “bullet train” to determine how Newsom & Co. spent $4.3 BILLION in federal funds already given.

For all practical purposes, this action will prevent new federal funding of the Democrat Party machine’s “bullet train’ boondoggle. And without federal funding, the “work” on the “train to nowhere” will likely cease due to the project’s professed dependence on federal funds.

2. PREVENT AND DEPORT INVADERS: More good news is President Trump is already fighting for American security and identity by stationing U.S. troops at our border with Mexico.

Next, you can expect a federal lawsuit against the pro-illegal-alien State of California and California “sanctuary cities” (new U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has already sued the big Democrat-Party states of Illinois and New York).

3. KEEP DRIVING WITH RELIABLE GASOLINE: You can also expect the Republican-controlled Congress to override the California “waivers” to “ban” new gasoline-powered cars as of 2035.

After Trump was reelected, Newsom & Co. sought 8 “waivers” limiting or prohibiting gasoline-powered engines “from locomotives to leaf blowers.” These awful notions of Democrat Party politicians would make electricity more costly and less reliable. Therefore, it’s a relief the Republican Congress is expected to overrule and deny them.

Yet there are ADDITIONAL, PRESSING PROBLEMS for the Trump Administration to solve in California — in at least 10 key areas!

PLEASE TAKE QUICK ACTION: Contact the White House (web form) and the U.S. Dept. of Justice (web form) to lobby them to intervene in California.

It’s most effective if you use the Trump and DOJ web forms for one subject at a time, sending up to 10 separate messages. Each time, in the subject-line field, type a clear message, such as, “Investigate election fraud in California.”

  1. Investigate, expose, and prosecute California election fraud (see more)
  2. Investigate California hospitals that still mutilate children (see more)
  3. Investigate California’s sky-high electricity rates (see more)
  4. Investigate California’s oppressive water rates and water shortages (see more)
  5. Commence aggressive forest management on all federal land in California (the U.S. government owns 45.4% of the land in California, most of it forest and other wilderness areas)
  6. Sue or join existing federal lawsuits to restore our Second Amendment rights (see more)
  7. Investigate vaccine tyranny (“take the shot or else”) where it exists — vaccines should be voluntary (see more)
  8. Investigate violations of religious liberty — for small business owners, students, employees, and more — based on the First Amendment, the 1964 Civil Rights Act, and numerous federal laws
  9. Investigate violations of parental rights in federal law (see more)
  10. Investigate public corruption by elected officials of California state government and California’s big cities, at all levels (bribery, extortion, cronyism, nepotism, parochialism, patronage, influence peddling, graft, and embezzlement)

PLEASE ACT AND PLEASE SHARE!
