Oppose Prop. 50, the unfair, racist, gerrymandering scheme

Saturday, August 23, 2025, 10:46 am | Randy Thomasson
Squiggly-drawn, gerrymandered districts drawn by the Democrat-Party-controlled California State Legislature BEFORE the 2008 creation of the California Citizens Redistricting Commission, which drew fairer districts in 2010 and 2020.

Well, they’ve done it: The ruling Democrat Party politicians in Sacramento — Newsom & Co. — have passed their unfair, racist, tyrannical gerrymandering plan to take to the voters this September and October.

Yes, there’s going to be a statewide special election in California for the sole purpose of eliminating 5 Republican congressional seats. Everyone who is just and fair should oppose this, because squiggly-drawn districts don’t represent specific communities or regional areas, but are crassly drawn to ensure one political party always wins.

Remember, this is not because the Republican governor and legislature of Texas did something immoral and wrong. No, Texas got rid of racially-drawn districts and made them fair again. But Newsom & Co. likes race-based districts and unfairly drawn lines that are not homogeneous in nature, but artificially drawn for the specific purpose of cutting up Republican voters, thus eliminating Republican seats. Now that’s unfair!

Right now, most Californian voters support keeping the “independent” commission that has drawn district lines twice, in 2010 and 2020, using census data. But there’s going to be an expensive September campaign to try to lie to the voters and get them to pass this monstrosity.

ACTION: Please share these facts with your friends, and urge them to vote NO on Proposition 50 in the November 4, 2025 statewide special election. Spread the word, stand up for what’s good and right and fair, and reject Gavin Newsom’s power-hungry, racist scheme, which might, just might, blow up in his face.

gerrymandering: the practice of dividing or arranging a territorial unit into election districts in a way that gives one political party an unfair advantage in elections.
Gerrymandering definition, Merriam-Webster Dictionary

“What’s going on right now is one of the most outrageous threats to democracy we’ve ever seen in this state … their entire strategy is trying to fool voters because it was voters that put this commission in place and voters have clearly now said that they want it to stay there.”
U.S. Representative Kevin Kiley of California, describing Prop. 50

“You shall do no injustice in judgment, in measurement of length, weight, or volume. You shall have honest scales, honest weights, an honest ephah, and an honest hin [an 8-quart measuring container]: I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.”
The Bible, Leviticus 19:35–36

Strategy and action to combat election fraud

Saturday, August 9, 2025, 11:51 am | Randy Thomasson

You want fair and just elections, meaning you can’t vote twice in the same election. And you want constitutional elections, where only U.S. citizens may vote.

We need this nationwide — and there are 3 current efforts worth supporting:

1. President Trump: No illegals to be counted in the 2030 census
2. U.S. Supreme Court: Will hear case challenging race-based districts
3. U.S. Congress: Kevin Kiley’s bill prohibiting redistricting beyond Census years (this would stop Texas and California and all other states from drawing new district boundaries more than once per decade)

Regarding #3, here’s how you can urge your own U.S. House of Representatives member to support H.R. 4889 to “To prohibit States from carrying out more than one Congressional redistricting after a decennial census and apportionment.” Find your House member, then call or email their Washington, D.C. and local offices.)

This is much better than the Republican state of Texas attempting to redraw legislative and congressional district lines (an effort that is moral and constitutional, to eliminate race-based districts), with the resultant rivalry of California and other Democrat-Party-controlled states threatening to redistrict for raw political power to try to regain control of the U.S. House.

As I wrote on July 26, at the start of this controversy:

“The Democrat Party governors of CA, IL, NY, and NJ are scheming for an unconstitutional POWER PLAY — special legislative sessions to gerrymander (unfairly redraw) additional Democrat Party districts to take over the U.S. House of Representatives in 2026. They say they’re only reacting to the Texas Legislature. However, the Texas redistricting plan is BASED ON PRINCIPLE to correct blatantly unconstitutional, racially-based gerrymandering from the past.” 

“But to put a stop to the Democrat Party governors’ so-called “justified” power grabs, Texas Republicans should abandon their effort, and wait for the Trump Administration to pursue a U.S. Supreme Court decision prohibiting racially-drawn congressional districts nationwide.”

SaveCalifornia.com’s strategy is not wimpy, but wise. For instead of provoking Democrats to win back the U.S. House of Representatives, it would be much better to ban race-based districts nationwide via a U.S. Supreme Court ruling, which would positively impact all 50 states.

Meanwhile, President Trump banning illegals from the upcoming census estimating local populations of U.S. House districts could result in Democrat Party politicians losing between 20 and 30 House seats.

Bottom line, this is the time to fight for election integrity — so get energized and fight for it!

Dishonest scales are an abomination to the LORD,
But a just weight is His delight.

Can a Republican win the California governor’s race?

July 31, 2025 7:17am update: Big Democrat Kamala Harris announcing she won’t try to become California’s next governor actually increases the chances of a Republican to win one of “the top two” slots in the primary election and to even be elected governor.

To help you and your friends, SaveCalifornia.com has calculated the “jungle primary” math based on California’s 2024 presidential election results (giving Republican, American Independent, and Libertarian party candidates nearly 40% of the vote, and Democrat and other leftist party candidates nearly 60%).

See below for three hypothetical scenarios, numbered 1, 2, and 4 (Scenario #3 no longer applies):

* * *

In light of California’s “jungle primary,” is splitting the votes of conservatives good or bad, and what are the chances of a mostly-conservative Republican being on the November 2026 ballot or being elected governor?

To answer, mostly-conservative Republican Steve Hilton’s entrance into the 2026 California governor’s race has immediately split the conservative vote between him and mostly-conservative Republican Chad Bianco.

If Hilton had not declared his candidacy, Bianco would have been virtually assured of being the highest or second-highest vote-getter in the primary.

Still, in the hypothetical scenarios I’ve been crunching, it’s plausible that a Republican could be one of “the top two” in the primary election, and if Kamala Harris doesn’t jump in, there’s even a path for either Bianco and Hilton to become governor.

The 2026 primary election scenarios below divide up 59% of the vote between the Democrat Party candidates and 38% of the vote between the Republicans. This is based on California’s 2024 presidential election results, and are rounded up or rounded down to match.

Here are the “bigger” declared candidates, so far, in alphabetical order who want to replace Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom, who’s termed out:

Democrats:
Toni Atkins, former State Senate leader, former State Assembly leader
Xavier Becerra, former U.S. congressman, former State Attorney General, and former U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services
Eleni Kounalakis, current Lieutenant Governor
Katie Porter, former U.S. congresswoman
Tony Thurmond, former state assemblyman and current State Superintendent of Public Instruction
Antonio Villaraigosa, former state assemblyman, former mayor of Los Angeles
Betty Yee, current State Controller

Republicans:
Chad Bianco, current sheriff of Riverside County
Steve Hilton, media voice, former tech start-up founder, former U.K. government advisor

SCENARIO 1: Two Democrats win “the top two” slots of the June 2026 primary election (two really work hard at the expense of the other Dems), so both Democrats advance to the November election, and a Democrat will again become governor:

22% Becerra
21% Porter

19% Bianco
18% Hilton
4% Villaraigosa
4% Thurmond
3% Yee
3% Kounalakis
3% Atkins
3% other

SCENARIO 2: 1 Democrat + 1 Republican win “the top two” (the Democrat Party machine pushes 1 Democrat hard at the expense of the others):

25% Becerra
20% Bianco

18% Hilton
9% Porter
7% Thurmond
6% Yee
5% Kounalakis
4% Villaraigosa
3% Atkins
3% other

SCENARIO 3: 1 Democrat + 1 Republican win “the top two.” Here, the biggest Democrat, Kamala Harris, enters the race and “sucks all the oxygen out” of the other Democrats.

If Harris enters the race, expect up to 5 Democrats to drop out (Atkins, Kounalakis, Porter, Thurmond, and Yee). Also expect Harris to be puffed and promoted by California’s New Communist machinery. This scenario means a Republican will be on the November ballot.

39% Harris
20% Hilton

18% Bianco
12% Becerra
8% Villaraigosa
3% other

SCENARIO 4: Two Republicans win “the top two” (if Big Democrat Kamala Harris doesn’t jump in, Democrats might simply split into 7 portions that are smaller than the 2 Republican portions), meaning there will be a Republican governor:

20% Hilton
18% Bianco

13% Becerra
12% Porter
8% Thurmond
8% Yee
7% Kounalakis
6% Villaraigosa
5% Atkins
3% other

I’ve provided these 4 scenarios to give you hope. In 3 of the 4, a Republican (either Bianco or Hilton, both mostly-conservatives) advances to the general election. Let this energize you to support the candidate who best represents your values!
