ALERT: Newsom ‘permits’ some Californians to be mask-free

Monday, February 28, 2022, 9:26 pm | Randy Thomasson

Pressured by reality and political peers, Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom has done the minimum “he had to do” by providing some facial relief to children and adults in California.

It’s GOOD for schoolchildren and small children, and adults who work for companies and school districts that will drop their unscientific, useless, harmful, dehumanizing “mask mandates.”

But it’s BAD where local governments continue their medical tyranny (because Newsom is permitting them to continue abusing Californians), and in select environments where supposedly masks work, when they somehow don’t work elsewhere.

In his February 28 news release (which was coordinated between three Democrat governors, so none of them would act first and embarrass the others), Newsom, still erroneously believing what comes out of his mouth is the actual law of the land, said:

“In California, starting March 1, masks will no longer be required for unvaccinated individuals, but will be strongly recommended for all individuals in most indoor settings. After March 11, in schools and child care facilities, masks will not be required but will be strongly recommended. Masks will still be required for everyone in high transmission settings like public transit, emergency shelters, health care settings, correctional facilities, homeless shelters and long-term care facilities. As always, local jurisdictions may have additional requirements beyond the state guidance.”

In his release, Newsom also claimed “Masks are an effective tool to minimize spread of the virus and future variants, especially when transmission rates are high. We … will continue to take measures rooted in science.” 

Yet the science conclusively shows masks do not prevent viral transmission, because small viruses go right through masks’ larger holes. No, despite Newsom’s mantra that masks are effective, the science clearly shows masks did not slow the spread of Covid in the U.S.

My advice: Stop covering your face, your children’s and your grandchildren’s faces today. Show your God-given face and smile whenever and wherever you shop (do NOT declare your vaccination status). Encourage businesses to get with reality and be pro-people and stop needlessly masking their employees. Call and email your local school board, city council, and county supervisors to demand they terminate their local state of emergency and end all their Covid mandates now.

If a ruler pays attention to lies,
All his servants become wicked.
Proverbs 29:12

Because of the transgression of a land, many are its princes;
But by a man of understanding and knowledge
Right will be prolonged.
Proverbs 28:2

Is there hope for religious exemptions to the ‘jab’?

Monday, February 21, 2022, 2:37 pm | Randy Thomasson

Feb. 22, 2022 update: The day after posting my “great hope” blog, I’m now wondering if the U.S. Supreme Court will indeed protect religious freedom, let alone medical freedom for all. My confusion — and angst — is because this morning SCOTUS silently turned down an appeal from medical workers in Maine, who are crying out for their First Amendment religious freedom and their 1964 Civil Rights Act religious rights. Only four votes were needed, and there were supposed to be four justices to take this case (on January 13, when the Supreme Court narrowly upheld Biden & Co.’s health worker “Covid vaccine mandate” nationwide, there were four dissenters — Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, and Amy Barrett). All I can say is that if Barrett’s looking for the “right case” and she turned down the Maine petition because it’s “not the one,” hopefully she’ll overcome perfectionism, embrace the whole constitution, and vote to hear the very next religious exemption case that petitions the nation’s high court. Because millions of health-conscious Americans — especially in “blue states” such as California — are suffering big-time from violations of their God-given liberties, constitutional rights, and 1964 Civil Rights Act guarantees! My friend Mat Staver of Liberty Counsel (it’s their case), is also bewildered by the court.

The U.S. Supreme Court’s one-paragraph denial of a San Diego student’s religious exemption injunction request on February 18 is pregnant with great hope for conscientious Californians and Americans.

Because the court majority implied it only turned down the injunction because San Diego Unified School District board members voted February 8 to delay any “Covid vaccine” mandate upon students. Notably, the nation’s high court invited a future injunction request on a religious-freedom basis “if circumstances warrant.” Realize this order took at least 5 votes!

The Thomas More Society, which is representing the San Diego minor, wrote“We are pleased with the current posture of this case for several reasons. First, our client’s goal was to attend school in person, and play sports, without being forced to comply with an illegal vaccine mandate – and she can do that for now. Second, the Supreme Court made clear that it is watching this case and that our client can come back and seek emergency relief in the future should the need arise. Thus, our legal team will be poised and ready to seek further relief at the Supreme Court if and when SDUSD reinstates all or part of their unconstitutional vaccine mandate.”

While a constitutional majority on the 9-member Supreme Court would quickly strike down every infringement of medical freedom and religious freedom, this court led by the unreliable John Roberts wants to do things “its own way” — meaning millions of people will continue suffering from injurious medical tyranny until the “right cases” come before the court, with full briefings.

Yet a case about the religious freedom of Maine healthcare workers to refuse unwanted “Covid vaccines” could soon be accepted by the Supreme Court (it takes 4 justices to accept a case). SaveCalifornia.com currently counts 4 justices in favor of medical freedom (Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, and Amy Barrett). Therefore, it would take just one more justice — probably Brett Kavanaugh — to agree on the religious right to be exempt from vaccines, providing nationwide relief in June or sooner.

The hope of the righteous will be gladness,
But the expectation of the wicked will perish.

The illogic of Newsom’s half-on, half-off ‘mask mandate’

Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom at the January 30, 2022 Rams/49ers playoff game in Los Angeles, a “mega-event” for which Newsom & Co. “ordered” everybody to wear masks.

Please scroll down for alert

Gavin Newsom’s public shaming at the Rams/49ers play-off game, plus the peer pressure of other Democrat governors and mayors ending their “mask mandates” helped push Newsom on February 7 to announce via Twitter (see how laws being birthed through the legislative process is so old-fashioned?) that his “indoor mask mandate” will go away for many Californians on February 15 (unless you live in a Democrat-run county that wants to keep it going, or you’re a school student or employee).

So now, California “mask mandates” are going away, unless:

1. You’re a student or employee of a government school
2. You take a bus or train or plane or other “public transit”
3. You step foot in a nursing home or “other congregate living facilities”
4. You attend an indoor ‘mega-event’ with more than 1,000 people (required “vaccine verification” or a negative test; those without either, and admitting they’re unvaccinated, will be told to wear masks.
5. You live, work, or shop in a Democrat-run county, where the ruling Democrats have decided to continue their own unscientific, dehumanizing muzzling “mandate”

So far, Solano and Marin are the only San Francisco Bay Area counties dropping their own “mask mandates” (last Friday, Contra Costa County ended its “vaccine passport” edict for restaurants, bars, and gyms). And Democrat-run Sacramento County is ending its own “mandate” too. Right now, according to news reports, most other counties with their own “mask mandates” are “undecided” or “studying” what to do. Yet in Southern California, Democrat-controlled Los Angeles County is unscientifically and pridefully continuing theirs.

The good is a lot of the unscientific, lie-based, dehumanizing face-mask tyranny is going away. More good news is you can help turn back even additional “mandates” this very week. The bad is that this evil is going to continue for a lot of California adults and children. And this, for a variant that hasn’t verifiably caused anyone to die.

TAKE QUICK ACTION: Science and momentum are on our side, so seize this opportunity to exert much-needed pressure on recalcitrant politicians. Please call and email your county’s Board of Supervisors, your city council, and your local government school board to demand they “end all Covid restrictions, end the state of emergency.”

To find your city council members, search online, “(Your city) city council.” To find your local government school board members, search similarly: (Your city) school district.”

To grant us that we,
Being delivered from the hand of our enemies,
Might serve Him without fear,
In holiness and righteousness before Him all the days of our life.”
John the Baptist’s father Zacharias in Luke 1:74-75
