How to have a real Thanksgiving

Tuesday, November 26, 2024, 5:25 pm | Randy Thomasson

What’s the real meaning of Thanksgiving?

Turn the word around and it’s GivingThanks.

But to whom do you give thanks (since you thank a person)?

On Thanksgiving Day and hopefully every day, humble, in-reality people will thank Creator God in Jesus’ Name for His creation, sustenance, Word, love, etc. Because, without Him, we’d be nothing and have nothing!

A great way to help those at your table give God glory is to ask, “What are you thankful to God for?” This substantive question, when safely and patiently asked, helps others give God the credit where credit is due. (You might need to remind them, “What do you specifically thank God for?” instead of just being glad about something.)

See these videos to stimulate you and others to praise Creator God in Jesus’ Name: Thankful | Thank You God

Remember, a grateful heart helps everyone. So challenge yourself to be thankful. Take a minute to reignite your soul to thank the Author of Life for air, food, water, and our basic necessities. Focus on the One who made the sun in the sky, the oceans, the animals, every original food and substance, and all we rely on, including the ground we walk on.

Lastly, stop and realize there are two types of people: Those who sincerely thank God, and those who “did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful” (Romans 1:21). And consider how thanking God not only gives God His due, but also calms your mind, since gratitude and worry cannot coexist in the same moment.

“…that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.”
Jesus Christ, Savior of the world and God in the flesh, in Matthew 5:45

“Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heav’nly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.”
From the 1674 Christian hymn by English Pastor Thomas Ken

Were there any moral victories in California?

and does not support or oppose candidates for public office.

Yes, there are victories to celebrate!

Of the eight bad propositions, there were four defeated: The foolish and harmful Prop. 5, Prop. 6, Prop. 32, and Prop. 33. These were stopped because majority of voters understood them (and weren’t led astray by establishment lies, as they were with Prop. 3 marriage anarchy).

The defeated bad propositions on the California ballot:

Prop. 5 would have permitted higher property taxes (attacking Prop. 13 from 1978) by lowering the “vote threshold from 66.67% to 55% for local special taxes and bond measures to fund housing projects and public infrastructure.” Targeted all property owners.More about Prop. 5

Prop. 6 would have called it “slavery” to make prisoners do work they don’t wish to do. This soft-on-crime proposition would have prohibited the Department of Corrections from disciplining (removing privileges from) convicts who refuse their work assignments. More about Prop. 6

Prop. 32 would have increased the “minimum wage” to $18/hr. for all California employees (killing even more jobs and businesses). More about Prop. 32

Prop. 33 would have permitted cities and counties to impose deceptive “rent control,” resulting in fewer rentals and higher rents, as frustrated landlords sell their rental houses and duplexes to become non-rental primary residences, and as developers lack investors to build new rentals. More about Prop. 33

And of course, Prop. 36’s decisive passage to empower county district attorneys to make retail theft a crime again was a great victory over Newsom & the Democrat-Party-run Legislature’s pro-criminal agenda.

What’s more, in Southern California and the San Francisco Bay Area, pro-criminal district attorneys were fired. George-Soros-funded, pro-criminal district attorneys George Gascón of Los Angeles County and Pamela Price of Alameda County were booted from office.

Pro-family pick-ups: In the California State Legislature, there STILL might be two moral, pro-family Republican pick-ups in the Assembly and one Republican pick-up in the State Senate:

Jeff Gonzalez is the Republican candidate for State Assembly District 36 in San Bernardino and Imperial counties. Gonzalez is a Bible-based Christian pastor, who’s likely to speak and fight for your moral-social-fiscal-conservative-constitutional values.

Leticia Castillo is a professing, Bible-believing Christian Republican candidate for State Assembly District 58 in western Riverside County, plus Grand Terrace in San Bernardino County. If elected, she is also likely to speak up for moral and family values.

Steven Choi, the Republican candidate for State Senate District 37 in Orange County (while in the State Assembly, Choi voted conservative most of the time, but was not known as much of a speaker or fighter).

Bad laws passed by the Democrat-Party-controlled California Legislature and signed by Democrat-Party governors mean the longest “counting” of ballots nationwide. It’s terrible that California’s counties don’t have to report their final counts until Dec. 6 and the California Secretary of State won’t certify the election until Dec. 13.

Let this long “counting” be a reminder to us all: If you want election integrity and investigations to expose it, always vote against Democrats and RINOs, who obstruct the “one person, one vote” American foundation of representative government.

What’s more, the next Attorney General of the United States needs to conduct a tough audit of the vote-counting practices of California and other Democrat-Party-controlled states.

Because the days of blanket trust are gone, and the burden is on vote counters to provide evidence of accuracy.

You have to ask why the Democrat Party politicians and their slavish bureaucrats (big-county registrars of voters) are so opposed to voter ID with photo, so giddy about littering the state with vote-by-mail ballots, so addicted to computer-based voting, and permitting a WHOLE MONTH of “counting,” “processing,” “curing,” and more?

Newsom & Democrats hike their gas tax — again

Sunday, November 10, 2024, 1:47 pm | Randy Thomasson

Your California gas tax, the highest in the nation, is going up again, thanks to your Democrat Party “rulers.”

Gavin Newsom’s appointees on the California Air Resources Board (CARB) say they’re going to impose regulations that will likely increase the price per gallon of regular gasoline by 47 cents. But more honest analysis projects CARB’s anti-people agenda will increase your gas tax by 65 cents next year and 20 cents more per gallon by 2030.

When Democrat Party Governor Gavin Newsom (he appointed most of the CARB board members) dramatically hiked your gas taxes on November 8, SaveCalifornia.com joined others in blowing the whistle to alert you what you get with the Democrats:

Bottom line, it’s inhuman for government not to allow people to be supplied with a stable, cheap form of energy, which is cleaner than ever.

Evil government preventing this cheap, stable energy supply prostitutes itself to the environmental-wacko groups that greatly devalue people and people’s life necessities.

Please use these facts to tell others Democrat politicians are responsible for high energy prices (both gasoline and electricity).
