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

For the second time in three years, eliminating the parental option of kindergarten has failed in the Democrat-controlled California State Legislature.
But it wasn’t for lack of the Left trying. This year, two mandatory kindergarten bills, which were nearly the same, and both likely costing up to $1 BILLION annually, were only stopped in the State Senate Appropriations Committee at the behest of Democrat Party Governor Gavin Newsom, who’s trying to posture himself nationally as a “fiscal conservative.”
AB 2226 died August 15 in committee and SB 1056 on May 16 in the same committee.
After the second mandatory kindergarten bill was shelved this month, the committee chairwoman, Democrat Party State Senator Anna Caballero of Merced, Madera, and Fresno counties, a Newsom loyalist, told the L.A. Times, “The lens we were looking through was the cost. Anything that we pass and the governor signs means it’s probably something that has to come out of the budget next year.”
So because Newsom & the Democrats’ war against responsible citizens has pushed enough wealthy Californians to other states, thus dramatically lowering revenues, and because now Gavin Newsom has shifted gears to plan to run for U.S. president — on the condition that Donald Trump is elected for a final four-year term this year — in 2028, two years after he’s termed out of the governor’s office in Sacramento.
Yet beyond the political and legislative machinations of mandatory kindergarten, you need to know the Leftist organizations think your children and grandchildren are THEIRS — and are little dollar signs too.
Stop and realize the Left already has most California five-year-olds under their control,who are enrolled in kindergarten. And they have great wrath against good parents who say their 5-year-olds aren’t ready to be with 20-30 other children several hours a day.
As the California Globe reported August 20, “95% of children in California already attend Kindergarten before entering first grade … Groups such as the Los Angeles Unified School District, the California Teachers Association, and education leaders in the state continued to say this week that the state was only harming more children by not passing this bill.”
In this clash of good and evil, SaveCalifornia.com is urging in-the-know parents and grandparents to rescue their children and grandchildren by exiting the low academics, politically correct, anti-family government-controlled schools.
Children grow up so fast — and the government system wants to train them to be Leftist soldiers. Please intervene now. SaveCalifornia.com’s special site, RescueYourChild.com, will equip you.
Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it. The Bible, Proverbs 22:6

Park Fire map as of Saturday, August 3, 2024
The Park Fire is now the 4th largest in recorded CA history!
What causes “monster” fires? The highly-combustible “fuel” of dead trees and dead brush, and congested live trees and live brush.
The annual “monster” fires are because the ruling Democrat Party politicians REFUSE to manage the forest and wilderness areas (clearing out dead trees, thinning thickets of live trees, establishing wide enough fire breaks, and much more). This unloving government is why California is again on fire.
In addition to dishonestly blaming heat, rain, and wind, some media outlets are also mentioning what bad government is entirely responsible for — out-of-control vegetation:
Associated Press, July 28, 2024: “…dry fuels and stronger winds were increasing the fire danger…fed by lots of dead plants that dried up after several years of rainfall…Despite the improved fire weather in Northern California, conditions remained ripe for even more blazes to ignite.”
San Francisco Chronicle, July 27, 2024: “Scientists say it’s the combination of parched landscape and build up of vegetation that is making the fire especially devastating…Two consecutive wetter-than-normal winters staved off drought conditions, revitalizing forests and producing ample growth of grass and brush…record-breaking heat this summer dried out this vegetation, turning it into prime wildfire fuel…This means plenty of fuel and no burn areas to stop the fire from spreading…the fire burned upslope through canyons and moved toward “dense forest and even forest plantations and clear cuts, which is even more flammable than a natural forest,” Swain said…“There’s essentially nothing to stop it,” Swain said. “It’s decades worth of dense brush kiln-dried by record-breaking heat.”
So when you listen to Big Media reports about California wildfires, filter out their biased emphasis on the weather. It’s outrageous that CalFire has called in meteorologists, when decades ago, righteous, pro-people California state government invited logging companies to thin out forests, did controlled burns, and promoted open grazing.
You should also question CalFire for frequently blaming lightning or listing a cause of a mammoth wildfire as “undetermined.” Until scrubbed from its own page by Biden & Co., the federal Department of the Interior educated Americans that among wildfire causes, only “10 percent are started by lightning or lava.”
Read this article to learn how the environmental-wacko groups and their Democrat Party political prostitutes CAUSE the development and spread of “monster” fires. And see the infographic below, showing the 9 largest wildfires in California’s recorded history have occurred recently and all these 9 under Democrat Party governors.
With Democrat Party politicians controlling California state government, get ready for more “monster” fires this year, with more destruction of lives and property, and more tax dollars burning up at the same time.
So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” The Bible, Genesis 1:27-28
