On behalf of your values and telling the truth that the Big Media doesn’t report, SaveCalifornia.com has been posting on our social media WHY “monster” fires spread so rapidly, HOW the Democrat Party politicians’ “crime” bills are deceptive, and WHERE anti-parental-rights and pro-transsexuality judges come from:
P.S. Our post was about the rapid, even explosive, spread of wildfires, not the initial spark or flame. Because anybody can set a fire, but only the government can manage “public lands” to prevent little fires from becoming “monster” fires. Here’s a sample of the many evidences backing up our post:
“California’s Record Wildfires Spurred by Millions of Hidden Dead Trees,” Newsweek, June 12, 2024: California’s record wildfires may have been spurred on by millions of hidden dead trees, according to a new study … Stéphanie Horion from the University of Copenhagen’s Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management who worked on the study, said, “An abundance of combustible materials” is necessary for “a wildfire to erupt” … “and dead trees burn well.”
“Environmentalists Destroyed California’s Forests,” Edward Ring, California Policy Center, September 10, 2020: “And since 1990, when the environmentalist assault on California’s timber industry began in earnest, its timber industry has shrunk to half its former size. Reviving California’s timber industry, so the collective rate of harvest equals the collective rate of growth, would go a long way towards solving the problem of catastrophic fires. Instead, California’s environmentalists only redouble their nonsense arguments. Expect these fires to justify even more “climate change” legislation that does nothing to clear the forests of overgrown tinder, and everything to clear the forests, and the chaparral, of people and towns.”
P.S. The detail of the above post is the Democrat Party legislator’s bill that was signed, AB 1960, while being described as imposing “harsh penalties” against retail thieves, don’t impose any additional prison time except “If the loss or property value exceeds fifty thousand dollars ($50,000), the court shall impose an additional term of one year,” followed by higher tiers.
In contrast, Prop. 36 on the California ballot would make theft, regardless of the value, a felony offense if the offender has two or more past theft convictions, and would increase penalties for offenders who steal, damage or destroy property with two or more offenders (stealing or destroying $50,000 of property is not necessary to be sentenced to more prison time).
P.S. The above post is a reminder that, in addition to unconstitutional Democrat Party judges, RINO governors are a mixed bag, appointing a slew of bad judges who believe neither in constitutional rights, nor natural/God-given/pre-constitutional rights.

Have you considered why California has such bad government? There are powerful forces supporting the New Communist Democrats, who are now three-fourths of both houses of the State Legislature, and who control all the statewide constitutional offices.
Yet the evil forces leading here aren’t the “useful idiots” (foolish voters dumbed down by the “public” schools, illegal aliens, self-centered government employees, etc.).
No, the wealthy, influential entities sustaining the iron-fisted rule of New Communist Democrats in California are both government unions and private unions. Don’t believe it? See how unions fund the Democrat Party Machine:
SEIU, California’s largest private- and public-sector union, nearly exclusively supports Democrat Party candidates and liberal causes. SEIU has also been the top union contributing to federal campaigns, donating $232,694,670 between 1990 and 2016, 99 percent of which went to Democrats.
As reported in late 2023: “Democrats and their causes receive 95.7% of the cash from unions’ political action committees. In 2021-22 the Big Four gave more than $29 million to the SEIU’s United We Can super PAC and the NEA Advocacy Fund super PAC which support federal candidates for office. Another $16 million went to wealthy climate crusader Tom Steyer’s leftwing For Our Future Pac. Some $3 million went to Fair Share Massachusetts which supports a state wealth tax.
“Big money also flows at the state level, where public unions all but run many state capitals. In 2021-2022, the four largest government unions spent $27.9 million in Illinois, $24.9 million in California, $13.2 million in Minnesota and $12.1 million in Pennsylvania.
“Nearly 60% of unions’ annual political spending, or some $400 million, came from membership dues and about 40% came from unions’ political action committees for which workers make voluntary contributions for politics. While unions can’t send dues money directly to candidates, workers might be surprised to see their paycheck deductions funneled to outside groups that spend money on politics (including those that deploy the money out of state).”
As reported in 2021 after Gavin Newsom “won” his recall election, “Organized labor donated at least $25.7 million — or more than one-third of the total the governor raised to keep his job. Unions, of course, have deep ties to the Democratic Party and a stake in nearly every aspect of state government.”
Because of how unions and their “owned politicians” put deceptive tax hikes on the ballot, and since union bosses regularly spend union dues to elect and re-elect corrupt Democrat Party politicians, if you’re a union member, please resign from your union.
Remember, you have strong, fundamental free-speech rights to not be coerced into supporting objectionable union politics. Now that you’ve unpeeled the onion and found the rotten core, will you stop “feeding” the beast?
See how to resign from the union and still keep your job and benefits:
The biblical view of man is work-oriented. It affirms that man was placed on the earth to subdue it to the glory of God (Gen. 1:28; 9:1-7). It is not each man’s right to work. It is his duty to work. What is his lawful right is his right to compete for the job he wants, his right to compete for the labor services he wishes to purchase. No one has a right to my job, including me. Anyone should have the right to compete for my job, including me. And I have the right to compete for his. “A Christian view of labor unions,” Gary North, July 1, 1978
As the August 31 deadline of the California Legislature’s annual session looms, see and share the awful bills the ruling Democrat Party legislators have authored and are passing with the help of RINOs (Republicans in Name Only):
HR 101 by 6 homosexual activist Democrat Party assemblymembers has language championing the unnatural, anti-family, tyrannical “LGBTQ+” agenda and vilifying anyone who opposes it. This annual pro-perversity Assembly resolution was approved on a voice vote on June 3. Coauthors were 53 Democrats and Republicans Phillip Chen, Diane Dixon, Greg Wallis. On May 28, the Assembly Rules Committee advanced HR 101 (5 Democrats + Republican Heath Flora voted yes).
AB 1825 pressuring public libraries in conservative communities to stock material reflecting “inclusive and diverse perspectives,” promoting pornography, homosexuality/bisexuality/transsexuality, abortion, witchcraft, stealing, communism, and racism. Voting yes were the supermajority Democrats and 4 Assembly Republicans: Juan Alanis, Phillip Chen, Marie Waldron, Greg Wallis.
Two bills pushing more baby-killing — by imposing even harsher penalties upon peaceful pro-lifers who are offering factual information and adoption services to pregnant women who are being roped in by Planned Parenthood abortionists (AB 2099) and by pressuring communities to open up more abortion clinics (AB 2085). Along with the supermajority Democrats, already voting yes on AB 2099 were Republicans Juan Alanis, Phillip Chen, Laurie Davies, Diane Dixon, Heath Flora, Josh Hoover, Devon Mathis, Marie Waldron, and Greg Wallis; joining the Democrats in approving AB 2085 were Juan Alanis, Laurie Davies, Greg Wallis.
AB 2319 replacing “mother” with “all birthing people, including nonbinary persons and persons of transgender experience,” and forcing “all health care providers involved in the perinatal care of patients” at hospitals, primary care clinics, alternative birthing centers, outpatient clinics, and emergency departments, under threat of penalty, into brainwashing training — teaching employees and contractors to believe and speak the unscientific fallacies that biological females can be biological males, and vice versa. Along with the supermajority Democrats, voting yes were Republicans Juan Alanis, Marie Waldron, Greg Wallis,Scott Wilk.
AB 2442 by homosexual activist Democrat Party State Assemblymember Rick Zbur of Hollywood would accelerate the harmful “sex change” industry in California by expediting so-called “gender-affirming health care and gender-affirming mental health care” license applications, similar to the current expediting of abortionists’ licenses. Along with the supermajority Democrats, voting yes were Republicans Juan Alanis, Marie Waldron, Greg Wallis, Scott Wilk.
AB 2711 by Democrat James Ramos, would eliminate smoking, alcohol drinking, and using drugs as automatic grounds for suspension at all California government-controlled schools. AB 2711 as amended July 3 would prohibit suspending children from California public school for “their use of a controlled substance, alcohol, intoxicants of any kind, or a tobacco product.” Instead of suspension, this bill would require K-12 government-controlled schools to offer a counseling program to students who “voluntarily” disclose their drug/alcohol use or who possessing drug/alcohol. This is a significant weakening of current penalties for bad behavior. AB 2711 sends the message to other students that getting stoned or drunk isn’t that bad, since the consequences will be mild, not severe. Joining the Democrats by voting yes were Republicans Marie Waldron, Roger Niello, Scott Wilk.
AB 3031 by homosexual activist Evan Low and “bisexual” activist Alex Lee, both Democrat assemblymembers from the Greater San Jose area, would create an official “LGBTQ+ Commission” to hammer its tyrannical agenda upon you all the more. The June 26 amendments made AB 3031 even worse by thoroughly embedding this “LGBT+ Commission” agenda in the state government bureaucracy, and fundraising for it, and in the future, funding it directly with taxpayer dollars. Joining the ruling Democrats in voting yes were Republicans Juan Alanis, Phillip Chen, Josh Hoover, Marie Waldron, and Greg Wallis.
SB 954 by 3 Democrat Party state senators would promote the lie that condoms are effective pregnancy prevention and ignore STDs and other harms resulting from teen fornication. This bad bill further sexualizing children would require California public schools “to make internal and external condoms available to all pupils” from 7th grade onward. It would additionally require at schools from 9th grade onward to “make condoms available by placing condoms in a minimum of two locations on school grounds where the condoms are easily accessible to pupils during school hours without requiring assistance or permission from school staff.” There is no provision for parental notification or consent. Joining the ruling Democrats in voting yes were Republicans Heath Flora and Marie Waldron, both of whom supported SB 954 in committee.
SB 957 by “LGBTQIA+” Democrat Party State Senator Scott Wiener of San Francisco would require health providers to collect information about homosexuality, bisexuality, and transsexuality via forms and questionnaires, then report this personal information to county health departments as well as to the State. Joining the ruling Democrats in voting yes were Republicans Juan Alanis, Laurie Davies, Diane Dixon, Kate Sanchez, Marie Waldron, Greg Wallis.
SB 1174 by Democrat Party State Senator Dave Min of Orange County would prohibit cities from requiring registered voters to present identification before voting. Of course, prohibiting proof that you are who you say you are promotes both voter fraud by individuals and election fraud by corrupt “vote counters.” Yet without voter identification — especially photo ID — we shatter the “one person, one vote” American standard. Since our Democrat-controlled state government has statewide laws that do not require voter ID, it’s up to local governments that care about accuracy and honesty to require voter ID locally. But they can’t under SB 1174, legislation that is both anti-democracy and anti-America. Only Democrats voted yes on this bad bill.
Two bills devaluing citizens and rewarding illegal aliens — permitting illegals to receive 20% in taxpayer-funded home loan down payment assistance up to $150,000 (AB 1840) and prohibiting UC, CSU, and community colleges from “discriminating” against illegal-alien student job applicants (AB 2586). Only Democrats voted yes on AB 1840; three Republicans — Juan Alanis, Marie Waldron, Greg Wallis — voted for AB 2586.
Four racist reparations bills: AB 3089 making the State issue a “formal apology” for past “racism” (Republicans joining the Democrats in voting yes were Juan Alanis, Phillip Chen, Josh Hoover, Tom Lackey, Marie Waldron, Greg Wallis, Scott Wilk); SB 1403 creating a “California American Freedmen Affairs Agency” within state government to “oversee all reparations activities”; SB 1050 to compensate “Black Californians who are descendants of enslaved people who lost homes or had their land taken without fair compensation as a result of racially motivated misuse of eminent domain”; SB 1331 creating an empty account in the state treasury to fund future reparations payments.
