EXPOSED: The Democrats’ mutilating, ‘gender affirming’ agenda

Wednesday, June 12, 2024, 7:35 pm | Randy Thomasson

If there’s one current issue about harming children that disturbs and grieves moral-values parents and grandparents, it’s the transsexual targeting of boys and girls.

Yet Democrat politicians in California and other states keep pushing the “trans” agenda, running roughshod over our God-given liberties and constitutional rights. Realize fully half of the U.S. states permit Frankensteinian operations on children, cutting off healthy body parts that can never be restored.

And these “sex change” procedures increase suicide risk. Honest studies show after receiving “puberty blockers,” more minors experience deteriorating “mental health” and are twice as likely to attempt suicide and be hospitalized. For the “trans” agenda robs young people who are sexually confused of any hope of recovery, producing deep regret.

On top of current California law — which promotes transsexuality to schoolchildren, imposes transsexuality in hiring and housing, and pays for transsexual procedures and operations for “emancipated minors,” as well as illegals and children being brought to California from other states — Democrats and RINOs continue to target more children:

AB 2442 by homosexual activist and Democrat 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. 

And it’s their incessant deception. Because you won’t hear Democrat politicians admit abortion is chopping up babies or “gender-affirming” surgery chops off healthy body parts. Instead, AB 2442 tries to hide its horrible maiming of children and adults by stating: …”gender-affirming health care” and “gender-affirming mental health care” shall have the same meaning as provided in Section 16010.2 of the Welfare and Institutions Code.

What is Section 16010.2 of the Welfare and Institutions Code?

(A) “Gender affirming health care” means medically necessary health care that respects the gender identity of the patient, as experienced and defined by the patient, and may include, but is not limited to, the following:

(i) Interventions to suppress the development of endogenous secondary sex characteristics.

(ii) Interventions to align the patient’s appearance or physical body with the patient’s gender identity.

(iii) Interventions to alleviate symptoms of clinically significant distress resulting from gender dysphoria, as defined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition.

So there you have it. “Interventions” mean both hormone injections blocking puberty development and surgeries to both remove healthy body parts and “form” fake body parts. Every “need” is subjective, there’s no minimum age, and these surgeries are irreversible.

Which California state legislators have already voted in favor of AB 2442? Nearly all of the Democrats and three Republicans: Juan Alanis of Stanislaus County, Marie Waldron of east San Diego County, and Greg Wallis of the Greater Palm Springs area.

Making it even worse for children are the Democrat-Party-controlled cities of San Francisco, West Hollywood, and Sacramento, all of which have passed resolutions declaring their cities “a sanctuary for transgender people.”

And on June 11, Democrat-Party-controlled San Francisco went even further, declaring itself “a sanctuary city for transgender, gender nonconforming, nonbinary and Two-Spirit people.” Such is the logical extension of sexual anarchy.

For unless restrained, expect Democrat-controlled cities to eventually “protect” depraved men who engage in bestiality (“sex” with animals) and necrophilia (“sex” with corpses). For they can argue that neither animals nor dead people can refuse to consent. Such is their devilish. perverse logic and their constant expansion of unnatural and sinful behavior.

“My country, and others, found there is no solid evidence supporting the medical transitioning of young people. Why aren’t American clinicians paying attention?”

Will the People be ‘allowed’ to decide on tax hikes and fees?

Saturday, May 11, 2024, 11:27 am | Randy Thomasson

As the above graphic shows, the current 7 judges (in pale pink fields) of the California Supreme Court, with the exception of one, were nominated by Democrat Party governors.

And since the Democrat Party wants to make the government bigger and the People poorer, when Newsom & Co. recently asked the State Supreme Court to remove from the ballot a rock-solid taxpayer protection initiative that’s already qualified, the state’s high court was “obliged” to hear it — because as recently as 2018, the Democrat-dominated Supreme Court has removed initiatives so the People couldn’t vote on them.

The well-written “Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act” would prohibit the Legislature from increasing a tax or fee or “a levy, charge, or exaction of any kind” without a two-thirds vote of the Legislature. And then the People of California would have to approve it with a majority vote! Same thing for local government tax and fee hikes and ” a levy, charge, or exaction of any kind.” See why the Democrat Party politicians and their establishment county and city tyrants hate this?

In the San Francisco state high court’s building on Wednesday, May 8, our side’s super-duper attorney, Tom Hiltachk, the official proponent of the initiative, told the judges:

  • The opposing attorneys’ claims are “based not on evidence submitted to this court but on the opinions of people in the government who do not want change.”
  • “What we have evolved into is it is an administrative state that has far too much power among non-elected bureaucrats, who no one knows their name, setting fees not for a fishing license fee, that’s not what this is about, but raising billions of dollars out of the economy without any legislative oversight.”
  • Hiltachk warned the judges that removing the initiative from the ballot would be “making a political judgment it should not make…instead that judgment should be entrusted to voters.” And he reminded the judges that California’s legal history is replete with ballot initiatives on taxes. “The people have the last word…this tug-of-war over taxation has been going on for over 100 years.”

After the hearing, Rob Lapsley of the California Business Roundtable talked to the media and succinctly explained why Newsom & Co., the League of California Cities, and big unions oppose this good initiative, saying, “The whole issue here is that they are scared to death of the people of California being empowered to vote on state and local taxes.”

Stop and realize the People of California could vote to reduce the full-time Legislature back to a part-time legislature, and this would not be an unconstitutional “revision” of state government. Similarly, the People could limit the size of the state budget, and this wouldn’t be an unconstitutional “revision” either.

Likewise, requiring the People’s approval for taxes and fees and other government money-grabs reflects the fact that, as the California State Constitution declares in Article II, Section 1“All political power is inherent in the people. Government is instituted for their protection, security, and benefit, and they have the right to alter or reform it when the public good may require.” This means altering or reforming the system to give more power to the People to decide money-grabs is an absolute right.

The “Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act” will go on the November ballot in late June if no more than three of the six Democrat Party judges vote to remove it. Since Gavin Newsom has three judges, they might vote against the People’s rights. It could be that close.

that the power to destroy may defeat and render useless the power to create.

Newsom deceptively claims California’s in good economic shape

Instead of saying what he’s going to do to lower gas prices, decrease inflation, prevent crime, and truly eliminate transients (such as banning homeless camping on public land, which Florida’s Ron DeSantis is doing), California’s Democrat Party Governor Gavin Newsom is tooting his own horn — but is he lying again?

Click to watch Newsom’s Sunday, May 5 video promoting himself as brave, admirable, pro-prosperity, and pro-America, when he says, “Travel spending in the state reached an all-time high”:

But we say it’s “high time” to ruthlessly fact-check Gavin Newsom.

What do you “credit” for price increases in California? Because bad government increases the cost of everything (and remember, Democrat Party politicians have been ruling California for a long time now).

His war on oil jacking up gas prices, burdensome regulations on businesses, “minimum wage” hikes, amusement park & hotel price increases, etc.

Add to this Newsom & Co.’s policies promoting illegal aliens, early release of convicts, “climate change” regulations on businesses, and nearly whatever union bosses want, which is always more money and power. All these bad policies have increased the cost of living in California in the Newsom era.

So yes, California tourists are paying more than before, because Newsom & Co.’s oppressive policies have CAUSED higher prices than in 2022, 2021, 2020, and 2019. This rapid inflation is not a sign of prosperity, but another demonstration that Democrat Party policies make life more costly for both tourists and residents.

As the non-conservative CalMatters observed in December, “There are warning signs for the California economy: Unemployment is inching up, tech layoffs continue and IPOs are waning. Experts expect a downturn, but it’s still possible the state will avoid a recession.” And this came two months before the California Legislative Analyst reported an even higher state budget deficit of $73 BILLION.

But Gavin Newsom, a professional liar who’s still running for president, can’t be bothered with facts, can he? He’s not at all interested in solving California’s myriad of public problems, because, as a true narcissist, he’s loathe to admit the truth — that he’s caused or accelerated most of them since becoming governor in 2019.

Evil men do not understand justice,
But those who seek the Lord understand all.

The Bible, Proverbs 28:5

Like a roaring lion and a charging bear
Is a wicked ruler over poor people.

The Bible, Proverbs 28:15

Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees,
Who write misfortune,
Which they have prescribed.

The Bible, Isaiah 10:1
