Really?

 

California democrats show their true colors.

Independent investigative reporter Nick Shirley did the job that mainstream media “journalists” refused to do. He dug deep and discovered vast amounts of fraudulent activity in the Minneapolis Somali community that bilked taxpayers of $Billions. Shirley has continued to follow other leads as he investigates and reports on similar cases of fraud in Ohio and California. The democrat led California Legislature just passed a bill criminalizing the exact type of investigative reporting that Shirley has conducted. Apparently, defrauding the federal government is right, good, and salutary for California democrats. Your tax dollars are to be exploited however democrats see fit.

Ballot counting continues from Tuesday’s primary election. It appears that the “jungle primary” will not finish with two Republicans moving on to the regular election for governor in November. Had that happened, California legislators, in a fit of raw partisan hypocrisy, were poised to change the rules, mid-stream, to maintain “fairness,” even though the jungle primary was enacted specifically to benefit democrats. As for the Los Angeles mayor’s primary race, mail in ballots continue to be dropped and the interloper candidate, Spencer Pratt, fails to garner any votes from those drops. All too convenient you say? Democrats will stop at nothing to maintain power.

In New York, the democrat legislature is attempting to eliminate the nuclear family. New legislation identifying mothers as “gestating parent” and fathers as “non-gestating parent.” This out-of-control wokeness legislation would also redefine paternity as “parentage” and deadbeat fathers or putative father to “alleged parent.” A similar attempt by democrat Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers to redefine mothers as “inseminated persons” in his budget proposal went up in flames. The democrat party’s infatuation with gender identity is mind-boggling, especially since 70-80% of the populace opposes this insanity.  

From Reform California is a list of some of the 2025 California legislatures most egregious bills;

  1. AB 1333 – would make self-defense illegal by allowing an individual to be charged with a crime for defending themselves from a criminal.
  2. AB 1421 – would impose a costly mileage tax on all CA drivers – costing $900 to $1200 a year on top of the nation’s highest gas and car taxes.
  3. AB 49 – would prohibit ICE from going onto school property to conduct enforcement, protecting criminals instead of kids.
  4. AB 916 – would ban hand soap and body wash containing disinfectant or antiseptic ingredients - after encouraging their use during the pandemic.
  5. AB 766 – would force state agencies to shove Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) goals into their strategic plans.
  6. AB 681 – would give undocumented students up to $140,000 in taxpayer funded loans—while actual citizens get nothing comparable to that.
  7. AB 309 – would provide free needles to drug users across the state, encouraging substance abuse instead of addressing it.
  8. AB 554 – would force insurers to cover HIV prevention drugs like PrEP, which works like a condom, treating personal choices as an insurance obligation.
  9. AB 715 – would allow attorneys who break the law in other states to continue practicing in California, no matter what crimes they’ve committed.
  10. AB 471 – would increase pay for local politicians, putting taxpayer money into the pockets of already overpaid elected officials.
  11. ACA 2 – would guarantee gold-plated pensions for politicians, ensuring politicians have a cushy retirement while taxpayers’ foot the bill.
  12. AB 56 – would force social media platforms to warn you about dangers every day— more nanny state nonsense.
  13. AB 446 – would ban businesses from using personal data to adjust their prices, even though the government does the same by charging different rates based on income.
  14. AB 475 – would ban requiring prisoners in state prisons to do basic work like cleaning, laundry, and cafeteria work.
  15. AB 1187 – would require anyone wanting to buy a gun to attend an eight-hour training course every time they purchase one.
  16. SB 281 – would vacate criminal convictions for non-citizens if they weren’t warned about deportation risks—an automatic get-out-of-jail-free card.
  17. AB 397 – would provide child tax credits for undocumented individuals up to age 18, rewarding illegal behavior and draining taxpayer resources.
  18. AB 435 – would increase the age requirement for securing children in a baby seat from 8 to 13 years old.
  19. AB 891 – would convert already cramped highway lanes into bicycle lanes.
  20. AB 954 – would divert gas tax revenue, which was initially promised to be used for road maintenance, to fund bicycle lane construction.

California is a microcosm of all that is wrong with the democrat party. If democrats are allowed to gain majorities in Congress in the mid-terms this November, these are the types of policies that will be enacted into law for all of us. Heaven help us if a democrat wins the presidency in 2028 and has a democrat-controlled Congress. Republicans are far from perfect, but the alternative is a disaster waiting to happen.

Confirmation Bias

 

When one refuses to listen….

The cancel culture embraced by the left are indicative of a much greater societal disease.
“Settled” science, Trump derangement syndrome, capitalism=evil, socialism=compassion, pro-Palestine-antisemitism, and men can be women requires the intentional rejection of rational thought. Lack of constructive discourse leads to the siloization of opinion and the villainization of those opposing viewpoints. We are losing the ability to comprehend the varied nuances of the issues confronting our society. When the free exchange of ideas is deliberately terminated and dissenting views ignored, society will be forever divided without the promise of compromise and without common ground.

“All of us share this world for but a brief moment in time. The question is whether we spend that time focused on what pushes us apart, or whether we commit ourselves to an effort -- a sustained effort -- to find common ground, to focus on the future we seek for our children, and to respect the dignity of all human beings.”

Believe it or not, this quote is attributed to our former “Divider in Chief,” Barack Obama. The man responsible for setting back race relations decades. Had he instead practiced what he preached, he could have been a great uniter of this nation. Instead, he focused on exploiting our differences, dividing Americans by skin color, sexual orientation, and economic class. Apparently, he learned much from fellow Chicagoan Saul Alinsky and his “Rules for Radicals.” The results of his efforts would make Karl Marx, Vladimir Lenin, and Satan proud.

“Abuse of words has been the great instrument of sophistry and chicanery, of party, faction, and division of society.” John Adams.

The left refuses to listen to opposing viewpoints, shouting down those in which they disagree. Democrats refuse to find that common ground and reach a consensus that facilitates a better life for the Americans they are expected to represent. Without common ground, no agreement can be achieved. Without common goals, problems have no solutions. Without effective debate that listens to all sides, nothing can be accomplished. If one fails to listen and consider alternate avenues of thought, we, and especially government, will continue to fail to discover the remedies this nation requires.

“There are forces all around you who wish to exploit division, rob you of your freedom, and tell you what to think. But young folks can rekindle the weary spirit of a slumbering nation.” Wynton Marsalis.

There is a revival occurring with the young people of this nation. Despite the incessant leftist drumbeat of the legacy media and the Marxist indoctrination of academia, young people are awakening. The search to fill the emptiness in their hearts is being filled with many of them returning to Christ. Churches are filling and young people are engaged. This is the path to save this nation and re-reconcile with the God of creation. Former democrats are realizing that their party is no longer the party of John F. Kennedy but better resembles those worshipping at the altar of Baal. Hope is not lost, but we must be ever vigilant. The November mid-terms will be the tipping point. Will we return to be that “shining city on a hill” or will we sit back and let evil overcome?

“We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution. Abraham Lincoln.

Democrats continue to disregard the will of the people, pervert the Constitution with lawsuits before leftist judges appointed by democrat Presidents, and pursue policies that Americans reject. Democrats must be rejected at the ballot box. We have a choice to continue to regress as a nation or reembrace the Judeo-Christian values that made the United States the greatest nation on earth. The choice is yours.

“For the LORD gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding. He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk with integrity, to guard the paths of justice and protect the way of His saints. Then you will discern righteousness and justice and equity—every good path. For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will delight your soul. Discretion will watch over you, and understanding will guard you, to deliver you from the way of evil, from the man who speaks perversity, from those who leave the straight paths to walk in the ways of darkness, from those who enjoy doing evil and rejoice in the twistedness of evil, whose paths are crooked and whose ways are devious.” Proverbs 2:6-15
