Is Gavin Newsom lying — again? Probably, maybe, and definitely.
1. CLAIM: On March 1, he declared he was fast-tracking “forest management” to prevent wildfires.
FACT: But Newsom has made window-dressing announcements like this before, such as touting that he “took similar action in March 2019 to expedite forest management projects.” But as liberal Capitol Public Radio reported in 2021: “Overall, California’s response has faltered under Newsom. After an initial jump during his first year in office, data obtained by CapRadio and NPR’s California Newsroom show Cal Fire’s fuel reduction output dropped by half in 2020, to levels below Gov. Jerry Brown’s final year in office. At the same time, Newsom slashed roughly $150 million from Cal Fire’s wildfire prevention budget.”
Does California have a governor or not? If any more wildfires incinerate neighborhoods or communities, know this — it’s Newsom’s fault.
2. CLAIM: On March 3, Newsom ordered state employees to be in the office for “a default minimum of four in-person days per work week.”
FACT: Unfortunately, this order isn’t effective until the summer. Yet Newsom’s own supporters are already crying foul. The largest state employee union (SEIU Local 1000) has filed an “unfair practice charge” with the state’s Public Employment Relations Board. Another government union, the California Association of State Attorney and Administrative Law Judges, also opposes “returning to the office.” If Newsom doesn’t hold union bosses and bureaucrats accountable, his words were mere talk (remember he’s mocked DOGE). We’ll find out July 1.
3. CLAIM: On March 6, Gavin Newsom said it’s “deeply unfair” for “trans” athletes to be in girls’ and women’s sports. This was during a discussion with moral conservative Charlie Kirk on Newsom’s new “This is Gavin Newsom” podcast.
FACT: Yet, at the same time, Newsom didn’t commit to doing anything to stop biological boys from invading girls’ sports. As governor, Newsom has signed many bills to promote transsexuality in classrooms, school restrooms, teacher training, foster homes, libraries, department stores, hospitals, insurance policies, courts, and in other states (Children, come to California for your secret, taxpayer-funded “sex change”). Newsom is pro-”trans” all the way. See his bill signings in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024.

But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. The Bible, James 1:22

Please scroll down to see 10 essential things you can urge the Trump Administration to do in California. But first, celebrate the good that President Trump is already doing!
Here are 3 needful ways President Trump is already helping California:
1. HALTING THE BULLET TRAIN BOONDOGGLE: In Los Angeles on Feb. 20, President Trump’s Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced he’s commencing a “compliance review” into California’s wasteful “bullet train” to determine how Newsom & Co. spent $4.3 BILLION in federal funds already given.
For all practical purposes, this action will prevent new federal funding of the Democrat Party machine’s “bullet train’ boondoggle. And without federal funding, the “work” on the “train to nowhere” will likely cease due to the project’s professed dependence on federal funds.
2. PREVENT AND DEPORT INVADERS: More good news is President Trump is already fighting for American security and identity by stationing U.S. troops at our border with Mexico.
Next, you can expect a federal lawsuit against the pro-illegal-alien State of California and California “sanctuary cities” (new U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has already sued the big Democrat-Party states of Illinois and New York).
3. KEEP DRIVING WITH RELIABLE GASOLINE: You can also expect the Republican-controlled Congress to override the California “waivers” to “ban” new gasoline-powered cars as of 2035.
After Trump was reelected, Newsom & Co. sought 8 “waivers” limiting or prohibiting gasoline-powered engines “from locomotives to leaf blowers.” These awful notions of Democrat Party politicians would make electricity more costly and less reliable. Therefore, it’s a relief the Republican Congress is expected to overrule and deny them.
Yet there are ADDITIONAL, PRESSING PROBLEMS for the Trump Administration to solve in California — in at least 10 key areas!
PLEASE TAKE QUICK ACTION: Contact the White House (web form) and the U.S. Dept. of Justice (web form) to lobby them to intervene in California.
It’s most effective if you use the Trump and DOJ web forms for one subject at a time, sending up to 10 separate messages. Each time, in the subject-line field, type a clear message, such as, “Investigate election fraud in California.”
Investigate, expose, and prosecute California election fraud (see more)
Investigate California hospitals that still mutilate children (see more)
Investigate California’s sky-high electricity rates (see more)
Investigate California’s oppressive water rates and water shortages (see more)
Commence aggressive forest management on all federal land in California (the U.S. government owns 45.4% of the land in California, most of it forest and other wilderness areas)
Sue or join existing federal lawsuits to restore our Second Amendment rights (see more)
Investigate vaccine tyranny (“take the shot or else”) where it exists — vaccines should be voluntary (see more)
Investigate violations of religious liberty — for small business owners, students, employees, and more — based on the First Amendment, the 1964 Civil Rights Act, and numerous federal laws
Investigate violations of parental rights in federal law (see more)
2. Ordered a stop to government censorship: The practical benefit of President Trump’s First Amendment executive order is not only to stop the federal government from initiating, participating in, or otherwise pressuring web and social media platforms to trample constitutionally-protected free speech, but importantly, it tasks the incoming Attorney General with investigating and recommending “appropriate remedial actions” to ensure the U.S. government no longer censors the People, like Biden & Co. did ad nauseam.
3. Took the first step to remove transsexuals from the military: In his long list of revoking numerous Biden & Co. orders was also revoking allowing transsexuals to invade the U.S. military. This functionally restores Trump’s 2018 order forbidding biological men who pretend to be women, and biological women who pretend to be men, from enlisting or “serving” in the U.S. military. And Trump’s policy is moral and scientific: Moral, because enlisted men and women don’t want to be in showers or restrooms with the opposite sex, an awful policy that erodes esprit de corps or troop unity; scientific, because if you’ve inherited a Y chromosome from your biological father, you’re male; if not, you’re female (source — plus see these great resources: Biological Integrity and Sex Change Regret). A second executive action, perhaps from the incoming Secretary of Defense, might be needed to actually remove mentally-disturbed transsexuals from all of the armed forces.
4. Ordered the removal of “trans,” sexism, racism, and “wokeism” from the federal government: Continuing with his moral, beneficial policy distinguishing between the two sexes, President Trump issued a beautiful executive order directing every part of federal government to only recognize the two distinct sexes of male and female. This applies to documents, forms, passports, federal prisons, and importantly, restrooms in federal buildings and on federal land (including national parks).
On this same theme, a second executive order eliminates the unfair, immoral, sexist, racist “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI) policies in all parts of the federal government. It will affect hiring, firing, promoting, and spending of our tax dollars. For real family values and as a role model for children and for all Americans, this is just excellent. And yet another executive order replaces DEI policies at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) with merit-based hiring practices for pilots and others who fly millions of people per year. And then Trump signed another executive order implementing a new standard to be a federal government employee: Personal merit and sincere support of the written U.S. Constitution.
6. Canceled U.S. involvement in tyrannical and harmful international organizations and agreements: President Trump is rightly withdrawing the United States from, and prohibiting U.S. funding of, the WHO (“World Health Organization”), which has devilish, immoral, tyrannical, Big Pharma values and goals for worldwide medical tyranny government. Trump is also withdrawing us from the United Nations’ pro-terrorism unit known as the “Relief and Works Agency,” which is funding and facilitating terrorism in the Gaza Strip on Israel’s coast and in Lebanon. And Trump is withdrawing us from the U.N’s impoverishing, anti-people, environmental-wacko Paris Agreement, which has the same goal of Democrat Party Governor Gavin Newsom — to eliminate the relatively cheap, reliable energy supply provided by oil and natural gas.
7. Lastly, I’m encouraged by one singular phrase from President Donald Trump’s inaugural address: He said he’s “learned a lot” from the personal oppression he’s experienced in the last eight years. This means he’s likely to be a better president than before — rooting out evil that he recognizes and standing on principle no matter the opposition. My hope is that Trump will humbly improve on federal judges (he nominated some bad ones because he didn’t get the advice of Christian-values legal organizations); that he will fight hard for medical freedom on vaccines and fight hardest for election integrity nationwide; and that he’ll grant an audience to former homosexuals who convince him that no one is “born gay” (because while he opposes transsexuality, Trump is still blindly promoting homosexual activists as role models for America and the world). Please pray to God in Jesus Christ’s Holy Name to give wisdom to President Donald Trump!
Now the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there, for that was the great high place: Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings on that altar. At Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, “Ask! What shall I give you?”
And Solomon said: “You have shown great mercy to Your servant David my father, because he walked before You in truth, in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with You; You have continued this great kindness for him, and You have given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day. Now, O LORD my God, You have made Your servant king instead of my father David, but I am a little child; I do not know how to go out or come in. And Your servant is in the midst of Your people whom You have chosen, a great people, too numerous to be numbered or counted. Therefore give to Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people, that I may discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of Yours?”
The speech pleased the LORD, that Solomon had asked this thing. Then God said to him: “Because you have asked this thing, and have not asked long life for yourself, nor have asked riches for yourself, nor have asked the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice, behold, I have done according to your words; see, I have given you a wise and understanding heart, so that there has not been anyone like you before you, nor shall any like you arise after you. And I have also given you what you have not asked: both riches and honor, so that there shall not be anyone like you among the kings all your days. So if you walk in My ways, to keep My statutes and My commandments, as your father David walked, then I will lengthen your days.” Young King Solomon requests wisdom from God in the Bible, 1 Kings 3:4-14
