In his March 8, 2022 “State of the State” address, Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom patted himself on the back for locking down and masking Californians, waging war against oil, and “protecting democracy.” But his claims are untrue.
Newsom’s Big Lie #1: “Our lockdowns, distressing as they were, saved lives. Our mask mandates saved lives. Your choices saved lives. California experienced far lower COVID death rates than any other large state. Fewer than Texas, Ohio. Fewer than Florida — 35% fewer, to be exact.” Source
And because of the medical establishment’s cooking of the numbers, the actual deaths “from” (not “with”) Covid are unknown and anything but “exact.” Also, factor in that lockdowns, masks, and plexiglass didn’t slow down the virus in California. What’s more, making Newsom’s claim suspect is last fall, California reported twice the Covid “cases” than Florida. So instead of saying he did good for Californians, Newsom has done great harm — physically, emotionally, economically, politically — and continues to threaten people’s health and lives (see here and here) by “ordering” dangerous “Covid vaccines.”
Newsom’s Big Lie #2: “Drilling even more oil only leads to even more extreme weather, more extreme drought, more wildfire. We need to be fighting polluters, not bolstering them. And in the process of so doing, freeing us once and for all from the grasp of petro-dictators.” Source
Wait, history and honesty prove forest fires and wildfires can grow into “monster fires” because of dead trees and brush just waiting to ignite. In 2019, it was reported that California wilderness areas contained more than 163 million dead trees (the number now is likely around 200 million). Honest experts know destructive fires can be prevented by intelligent forest management. But Newsom is unwilling to do that — and bring in the logging companies to clear out dead trees and thin out compacted trees, which would also dramatically lower lumber prices. So, he instead concocts “climate change” and blames “petro-dictators.” What a farce!
Newsom’s Big Lie #3: “While we might not have strongmen literally waging war in our country, we are plagued by agents of a national anger machine, fueling division, weaponizing grievance. Powerful forces and loud voices — stoking fear and seeking to divide us, weakening the institutions of our democracy.” Source
Something vitally important that Newsom ignores for you but always wants himself is freedom of speech, guaranteed by both the California and U.S. constitutions. And whether he likes it or not, people’s “anger” and “grievance” are allowed, especially when Newsom’s unconstitutional, thieving, oppressive government is “fueling division” instead of unity.
And what is the “democracy” that Newsom claims to be concerned about? A democracy is defined as government by the people, where, each election, adult citizens can vote once. But Newsom’s littering of California with mail-in ballots, supporting counties’ fraud-inviting computers, permitting election fraud at the local level to continue unabated, and permitting the great mischief of ballot “harvesting” amounts to the worst “weakening the institutions of our democracy” in state history. In our constitutional republic, Newsom is the domestic enemy, which is why his false narratives must be exposed, opposed, and refuted.
Like a roaring lion and a charging bear Is a wicked ruler over poor people. A ruler who lacks understanding is a great oppressor, But he who hates covetousness will prolong his days. Proverbs 28:15-16

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.”
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

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. Proverbs 10:28
