Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom at the January 30, 2022 Rams/49ers playoff game in Los Angeles, a “mega-event” for which Newsom & Co. “ordered” everybody to wear masks.
Please scroll down for alert
Gavin Newsom’s public shaming at the Rams/49ers play-off game, plus the peer pressure of other Democrat governors and mayors ending their “mask mandates” helped push Newsom on February 7 to announce via Twitter (see how laws being birthed through the legislative process is so old-fashioned?) that his “indoor mask mandate” will go away for many Californians on February 15 (unless you live in a Democrat-run county that wants to keep it going, or you’re a school student or employee).
So now, California “mask mandates” are going away, unless:
1. You’re a student or employee of a government school 2. You take a bus or train or plane or other “public transit” 3. You step foot in a nursing home or “other congregate living facilities” 4. You attend an indoor ‘mega-event’ with more than 1,000 people (required “vaccine verification” or a negative test; those without either, and admitting they’re unvaccinated, will be told to wear masks. 5. You live, work, or shop in a Democrat-run county, where the ruling Democrats have decided to continue their own unscientific, dehumanizing muzzling “mandate”
So far, Solano and Marin are the only San Francisco Bay Area counties dropping their own “mask mandates” (last Friday, Contra Costa County ended its “vaccine passport” edict for restaurants, bars, and gyms). And Democrat-run Sacramento County is ending its own “mandate” too. Right now, according to news reports, most other counties with their own “mask mandates” are “undecided” or “studying” what to do. Yet in Southern California, Democrat-controlled Los Angeles County is unscientifically and pridefully continuing theirs.
The good is a lot of the unscientific, lie-based, dehumanizing face-mask tyranny is going away. More good news is you can help turn back even additional “mandates” this very week. The bad is that this evil is going to continue for a lot of California adults and children. And this, for a variant that hasn’t verifiably caused anyone to die.
TAKE QUICK ACTION: Science and momentum are on our side, so seize this opportunity to exert much-needed pressure on recalcitrant politicians. Please call and email your county’s Board of Supervisors, your city council, and your local government school board to demand they “end all Covid restrictions, end the state of emergency.”
To find your city council members, search online, “(Your city) city council.” To find your local government school board members, search similarly: (Your city) school district.”
“To grant us that we, Being delivered from the hand of our enemies, Might serve Him without fear, In holiness and righteousness before Him all the days of our life.” John the Baptist’s father Zacharias in Luke 1:74-75

Pro-family, constitutional Californians are breathing a sigh of relief now that one of the worst Democrat bills of the year has been stopped.
On January 31, AB 1400 to replace private insurance with a big-government program that would have rationed medical treatment, created long waiting lists, and imposed new, high taxes was stopped on the floor of the California State Assembly.
So now, AB 1400, which was introduced in 2021, is dead for the year. Because the California State Constitution, Article IV, Section 10(c), in its first sentence, reads: “Any bill introduced during the first year of the biennium of the legislative session that has not been passed by the house of origin by January 31 of the second calendar year of the biennium may no longer be acted on by the house.”
But how was AB 1400 defeated? Especially when there are currently 56 Democrats in the 80-member Assembly (there are four vacant Democrat seats), who have a vise-grip hold that’s more than a two-thirds majority, allowing Democrats to pass any bill they want?
Because it was a perfect storm. As ultra-left-wing “resetting” Democrats pushed government-controlled health care, it seems most everyone else came against AB 1400: Doctors and hospitals and insurance companies, business associations, and taxpayer advocates strongly opposed it. And most private unions, which want to keep their high-paid health plans, sat on the sidelines, refusing to support AB 1400’s elimination of private health insurance.
These large, secular forces provided the primary lobbying. Providing secondary influence were concerned Californians (like you), who called and emailed, creating a noticeable flood of opposition. The calls and emails the last few days before the scheduled vote were “insurance,” if you will, for the direct lobbying of all the others.
A final takeaway is that even when the New Communist Democrats have a sizable majority, you can depend on new topics — like eliminating private health insurance — containing more shock value than old ones. And, in my opinion, this big “spanking” of the Assembly Democrats by ferocious direct and indirect lobbying should be remembered — and provide restraint against a new bill — for at least a year. Thank you for participating in this important, rare victory against big, new tyranny!

The January 13 rulings on “Covid vaccine mandates” by the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) won’t directly help Californians, but might indirectly provide some relief.
There’s no direct relief, since the high court’s 6-3 ruling only blocked the federal OSHA “mandate” of “the jab or your job,” which had threatened, nationwide, some 10 million employees of companies with 100 or more employees.
Because this ruling only told Biden & Co. what it can’t do — not what any state or local government can’t do — the unscientific, unconstitutional tyranny of Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom will continue unabated, for now, oppressing California government employees, health care workers, schoolteachers, and threatening schoolchildren too.
However, the decision against Biden & Co.’s OSHA “jab or job” mandate could indirectly provide relief for some Californians who work for large companies, and by example, mid-sized and small businesses.
Because business owners and managers can decide to “go with” SCOTUS as their higher standard (above Biden & Co., above Dr. Fauci, above the CDC). Since there is currently no “jab or job” mandate from Newsom & Co. upon private businesses, with the exception of health care workers, SCOTUS striking down Biden’s OSHA mandate might “free up” large businesses in California, or those with a California presence, to avoid becoming their own employees’ “vaccine police.” It’s time to stand for truth — no pro-science, pro-health, pro-people business will impose a “Covid vaccine mandate”!
Now, to protect conscientious Californians from Newsom & Co.’s anti-people, injurious “mandates” of “the jab or your job,” we desperately need SCOTUS to rule in favor of medical freedom, or religious freedom, or both.
If and when SCOTUS takes and hears one or more of these cases, and if the court majority rules states must offer religious exemptions to vaccines, or that religious exemptions to vaccines are a right of every American adult, this would supersede, defeat, and overcome every state, city, county, school district, or corporate denial of religious-right declarations of employees and contractors. Such a heroic, constitutional ruling would also run interference against “vaccine passports,” because religious exemptions would have to be permitted everywhere.
And SCOTUS would be “supreme” over California’s Democrat rulers, just like its 2020 ruling affirming the First Amendment right of religious congregations to meet in person.
