Newsom & the Democrats side with invaders

Sunday, September 21, 2025, 12:27 pm | Randy Thomasson

Gov. Gavin Newsom and his Democrat Party legislators have no qualms about siding with invaders — those who have illegally crossed our borders.

And while their stance includes opposing border control, border security, and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the bill Newsom just signed to “ban” face masks on ICE agents violates both federal statutes and the U.S. Constitution.

As Breitbart News explains:

“The legislation … is unconstitutional: state police cannot enforce the law against federal law enforcement officers due to the Supremacy Clause. It also unlawfully exempts the California Highway Patrol, the force that Newsom has dispatched to protect former Vice President Kamala Harris; discriminating against federal officers violates the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause.”

What’s more, Scott Wiener’s SB 627 exempts big cities’ SWAT officers — another big legal weakness in the bill.

Ultimately, SB 627 is unenforceable and is merely fluff by Gavin Newsom telling Democrat Party activists to nominate him for president in 2028.

Q: Why is it important that ICE agents wear masks?

A: Because Leftist activists are actively trying to identify ICE agents, to dox them and threaten them and their families, to try to make them quit. 

As The Center Square reported this summer:

As publicity has increased over ICE arrests, “ICE officers are facing a 413% increase in assaults while carrying out arrests,” the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said.

Lyons said the reason why ICE agents are wearing masks is because California residents were threatening them and their family members.

During a major operation in Los Angeles, “ICE officers were doxed. People were out there taking photos of the names [of the agents], their faces and posting them online,” Lyons said. California residents were also making death threats against ICE agents’ family members, he said.

“I’m not going to let my officers and agents go out there and put their lives on the line and their family on the line because people don’t like what immigration enforcement is. They’re wearing those masks because we ran an operation with the Secret Service [and they made the arrest] someone was going online taking their photos, posting their families, their kids’ Instagram, their kids’ Facebook [pages] and targeting them,” he said.

Bottom line, you either side with invaders or you side with border security. Siding with invaders destroys nations; siding with border security preserves nations.

Since President Trump took office, there have been 139,000 deportations.
In President Trump’s first 50 days, ICE arrested 32,809 illegal immigrants — nearly 75% of whom were accused or convicted criminals — virtually the same number of arrests over the entirety of Biden’s final year in office.

Out-of-control, unsustainable union pensions are costing average Californians

Sunday, August 31, 2025, 6:22 pm | Randy Thomasson

Have you noticed how California cities and counties are incrementally costing you more in higher taxes, fees, and bonds, while providing fewer or slower services?

The dirty little secret of California local governments is how their budgets are being eaten up by pension liabilities created by police unions, firefighter unions, and other government unions.

And they’re deceptively passing off the costs to you — telling voters they can’t have a library, or sewer lines, or a functional police or fire department without “increases.” And they do this with without disclosing to voters that these “higher costs” are all due to overly-generous and ever-growing pension contracts with local government unions.

And meanwhile, your local government tax bill keeps going up, and local government services keep decreasing. Does this concern you enough stop “feeding the beast” however you can?

Read these eye-opening California Policy Center articles to understand. Then learn how to resign your union but keep your job and money:

The American public at large, and unionized workers in particular, want a free choice when it comes to affiliating with a union. Around eight in 10 Americans consistently express agreement with the Right to Work principle, and polls of unionized workers show similar sentiment. The truth is, American workers by and large want to make a living free from coercive union power: Most say that they have “no interest at all” in joining a labor union. American workers thrive on freedom, and policymakers who claim to care about them should be prepared to defend workers’ freedoms.

ALERT: 2 anti-parent bills that Newsom could veto

Thursday, August 14, 2025, 11:54 am | Randy Thomasson

If enough concerned Californians — and even people outside of California — get on his case, I believe Big Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom could veto two atrocious, anti-family bills that could pass the Democrat-Party-controlled California State Legislature by the September 12 deadline.

AB 495 broadly permits ANYONE to take custody of and make school decisions and medical decisions for ANY child in California, behind the backs of parents. See more

AB 727 would promote transsexuality to millions of schoolchildren by requiring a pro-“trans” group’s phone number be imprinted upon all student ID cards in grades 7-12 in California “public” schools and at UC, CSU, and community colleges. See more

Stop and realize that Newsom, who’s indeed running for president in 2028, can’t afford to be branded nationally as an anti-parent kook. So please let him know you and your friends oppose these awful bills!

TAKE QUICK ACTION: Urge Gavin Newsom to veto AB 495 and AB 727.

To oppose AB 495, send this suggested message: “Governor Newsom, please veto AB 495. This bad bill is written so broadly, it would allow strangers, using a one-page form, to take physical custody of a child, move that child into their residence, decide the child’s schooling, and decide the child’s medical treatment — without any court oversight, background check, or verification with the child’s parent or legal guardian. Please veto this poorly-drafted bill threatening California parents and their children.”

To oppose AB 727, please send this separate message: “Governor Newsom, please veto AB 727. This invasive bill is not what parents want or children need. Mandating a transgender group’s phone number on student ID cards is inappropriate and offensive. The Trevor Project provides anonymous online forums for adult-child sex via its TrevorSpace chatrooms. AB 727 would drive a wedge between parents and their children — please veto this bad bill.”

3 ways to contact Newsom’s legislative staff:

  1. Web form: Click here, then select “Legislation Issues/Concerns,” then “Leave a Comment, ” then select “Con,” then paste in your message, then enter your contact information, then click “submit.”
  2. Phone: The Governor’s “constituent services” phones are answered by staffers who are paid to take your message. Call 916-445-2841 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
  3. Postal mail: You may write to Gov. Gavin Newsom, 1021 O Street, Suite 9000, Sacramento, CA 95814. Please put on the envelope and your letter, “Re: AB 495 — Veto This Anti-Parent Bill” or “Re: AB 727 — Veto This Bill Promoting Adult-Child Sex.”

The late James Q. Wilson, former professor of government at Harvard University, once said, “It is not money, but the family that is the foundation of public life. As it has become weaker, every structure built upon that foundation has become weaker.” Peter H. Schuck, professor emeritus at Yale Law School, adds, “the family is the essential core of any society, and the steady decline of two-parent households is probably the single most consequential social trend of the half-century.”

“Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea.”
