COVID Cancellations Return: High Schools Cancel Football Games

/0 Comments/in , /by

Two California high schools have canceled their upcoming football games over COVID cases among students in the latest instance of new COVID measures cropping up as the school year starts.

Esparto High School, which is located west of Sacramento, canceled its football game, which was scheduled for Friday, after six players contracted COVID and seven more players were out due to injuries.

“Ensuring the well-being of students is not only a moral obligation but also a legal and ethical responsibility,” the district’s superintendent, Christina Goennier, told FOX40.

The local county health officer, Dr. Aimee Sisson, expressed support for the school’s’ decision to cancel the game. (Read more from “COVID Cancellations Return: High Schools Cancel Football Games” HERE)

Activists Are Teaming Up to Fight Sex Change Surgeries for Minors in This Blue State

/0 Comments/in , /by

California activists from both political parties are teaming up to put measures on the state ballot that would ban child sex change surgeries and ensure fairness in women’s spaces, they told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Protect Kids California, a group formed by Jonathan Zachreson, a Republican, and Erin Friday, a Democrat, filed three statewide ballot initiatives on Monday to ban child sex changes and puberty blockers, keep men out of women’s sports and require school officials to inform parents if a child wants to transition his or her gender. The pair has support from both sides of the political aisle in their effort to push the initiatives through, they told the DCNF.

“The media and the California legislators make it seem that it’s a Democrat versus Republican issue, but it’s not. I would say the majority of Democrats agree with us on this,” Sophia Lorey, a female rights activist who spoke at the announcement of the initiatives, told the DCNF.

The Protect Children From Reproductive Harm Act would ban child sex change surgeries and puberty blockers in the state, according to the ballot initiative. The School Transparency And Partnership Act would require that school officials inform parents if a student decides they want to be referred to as a gender different than his or her biological sex, and the Protect Girls’ Sports And Spaces Act would establish sex-segregated bathrooms and locker rooms while banning males from competing in female sports.

Attorney General Wages Legal War to Hide Kids’ Transgender Pursuits From Parents

/0 Comments/in , /by

The California attorney general is launching an all-out assault on parents and families with a new lawsuit asserting state control over schoolchildren.

On Monday, state Attorney General Rob Bonta sued to stop a new policy in a southern California school district that requires schools to notify parents whenever a child identifies as transgender and begins to pursue a so-called gender transition. The new guidelines adopted by the Chino Valley Unified School District in July would have required schools to tell parents if their child sought changes in pronoun use, sports participation, or bathroom assignments contrary to his or her sex.

The state’s Democrat attorney general argues the district’s new disclosure rule violates students’ civil rights and risks “emotional, physical, and psychological harm.”

“Every student has the right to learn and thrive in a school environment that promotes safety, privacy, and inclusivity — regardless of their gender identity,” Bonta said in a statement. “We’re in court challenging Chino Valley Unified’s forced outing policy for wrongfully and unconstitutionally discriminating against and violating the privacy rights of LGBTQ+ students. The forced outing policy wrongfully endangers the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of non-conforming students who lack an accepting environment in the classroom and at home.” (Read more from “Attorney General Wages Legal War to Hide Kids’ Transgender Pursuits From Parents” HERE)

State Pays Nonprofit Encouraging Kids to Identify as ‘Foxgender,’ Teaching Schools to Hide It

/0 Comments/in , /by

The state of California has awarded a nine-year grant to a group that encourages students to identify as a wide variety of bizarre genders, including “foxgender,” and teaches school districts how to hide it from parents.

The California Department of Public Health has awarded a total of $2.3 million to a nonprofit called Gender Spectrum for activities such as developing “concrete strategies for applying the lens of gender diversity to school practices,” according to an investigation from the watchdog group OpenTheBooks.

The grant is intended for Gender Spectrum to conduct a “rigorous evaluation” of whether its own programs work.

Among those programs is the development of a six-page form for students to submit school districts their pronouns and whether school staff needs to hide their use of those pronouns from their parents.

“It’s not always the case that caregivers are supportive of their child’s gender, their gender journey, in that case, if parents are not supportive or if the child is not out, that’s not necessarily someone who will be part of the gender support team,” said Director of Training Carla Pena at the group’s annual Gender Spectrum Family Conference last year.

Here’s Why a Leftist Restaurant Is Refusing to Serve Uniformed Police Officers

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A police union in San Francisco, California, lambasted a bakery and restaurant that refused to serve a police officer in uniform.

“NO COPS ALLOWED. That’s the confirmed policy of the bakery chain Reem’s. One of our officers was denied service last weekend because he was in uniform,” said the San Francisco Police Officers Association on social media.

“Reem’s confirms that they will not serve anyone armed and in uniform. Presumably, this includes members of the US Military,” the group added.

Police union president Lt. Tracy McCray told KNTV-TV that an officer was refused service at the restaurant, and the union reached out to clarify the official policy of the business.

“I politely left because I believe that police officers and community members should spend more time listening to each other than shouting at each other,” said Officer Vincent Fontela. “But you can’t do that when your presence isn’t wanted and your money is no good.” (Read more from “Here’s Why a Leftist Restaurant Is Refusing to Serve Uniformed Police Officers” HERE)

Hunter Biden’s ‘Sugar Brother’ Attorney Could Be on the Hook Next

/0 Comments/in , /by

Entanglements with President Joe Biden’s embattled son Hunter Biden could potentially bring down high-powered California attorney Kevin Morris — who was recently spotted reportedly smoking a bong on the balcony of his Malibu home.

Morris, a longtime Democrat donor who was best known for throwing money around in Hollywood — helping to broker a licensing deal for “South Park,” among other things — has been linked to Hunter Biden since 2019 in what the New York Post called “more of a bromance than an attorney-client relationship.”

According to the Post’s report, Morris earned a reputation as Hunter’s “Sugar Brother” — in addition to allegedly acting as a “fixer” for the president’s son, Morris may have assisted in marketing and selling some of his paintings and reportedly loaned him the money when he needed to pay back $2 million in federal tax debt.

But his relationship with the younger Biden could potentially get him into trouble with the California State Bar. (Read more from “Hunter Biden’s ‘Sugar Brother’ Attorney Could Be on the Hook Next” HERE)

WATCH: Naked Woman Gets Out of Car, Opens Fire on One of the Busiest Bridges in the US During Rush Hour: Authorities

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A naked woman in California got out of her car on one of the nation’s busiest bridges and began firing a gun Tuesday.

The bizarre scene unfolded during rush hour on the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge, according to the California Highway Patrol.

A driver called 911 to report that another driver had brandished a gun at them on the I-80 span, which crosses the San Francisco Bay, around 4:40 p.m., police said.

The woman then stopped in the middle of her lane, got out of her car with a knife and began yelling at other drivers, according to cops.

She then got back in the car and continued driving to Oakland, but stopped again at a toll plaza and exited the car — this time with a gun and sans clothing, officers told The Post.

Morbidly Obese Shoplifting Suspects Lumber off in World’s Slowest Getaway Ever (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Sacramento police are actively searching for three women involved in a suspected shoplifting incident that took place July 24 at a local Burlington store after their brazen antics were caught on video and shared on social media.

“Damn, look at these people stealing! Say hi to the camera!” a man filming the plus-sized trio can be heard saying as they slowly make their way to their getaway car. As the three women begin tossing clothing and shoes into the back of a red Dodge Charger, the man filming expressed his shock at the brazen theft, “Look at this shit. What the f**k is this?” the man said.

Undeterred, the women continue to pile in clothes and shoes into a heavily packed trunk before slowly lumbering away, allowing the man to capture their license plate and note that they were also illegally parked in a handicapped space.

Gay Couple Wanted Surrogate Mother With Grim Cancer Diagnosis to Abort Their Baby, Demanded ‘Death Certificate’ if Premature Baby Was Born Alive: Report

/0 Comments/in , /by

A disturbing report from the Center for Bioethics and Culture Network suggested that a gay couple in California wanted the surrogate mother carrying their child to abort after the woman was given a grim cancer diagnosis.

According to CBC president and founder Jennifer Lahl, the unnamed woman agreed to carry a child for an unidentified gay couple in California. The woman is a married mother of four who had already volunteered to be a surrogate mother once before and had a good experience, so she decided to try and help again.

This time, the experience went horribly wrong, starting when she was about 24 weeks along. At that point, according to the woman’s aunt, she received a “very very bad” breast cancer diagnosis. The cancer had metastasized so aggressively that those treating her advised her to abort the baby because she needed medicine that was not safe for an unborn child.

The woman refused an abortion and actively sought a hospital which would allow her to deliver the baby early so that she could begin treatment for the cancer. However, California law — which refers to surrogate mothers as “gestational carriers” — considers the “intended parents” the child’s parents and states unequivocally that “the surrogate, and the surrogate’s spouse or partner, is not a parent of, and has no parental rights or duties with respect to, the child or children.”

The gay “intended parents” in this case reportedly wanted the surrogate to abort the baby. They did not want the baby to be born early because the baby would likely require intense medical care and may have continued severe medical needs throughout his or her life. They also did not want anyone else adopting the child, even the surrogate herself, because they did not want their “DNA out there” being raised by someone else.
