Move Over Ladies, Miss California Is a Man This Year

/1 Comment/in , , /by

If you haven’t heard, men can do anything women can do. That includes competing against females on their sports teams, giving birth, wearing dresses and sports bras, and now they can be deemed beauty queens.

Monroe Lace, a man who identifies as a woman, will compete in the 2023 Miss California pageant— going up against biological women who have spent years training and participating in the pageants to qualify for the big league.

In March, the “beauty queen” won the Miss San Francisco pageant, the first transgender man to be crowned in the competition’s 99-year history.

The 25-year-old said he feels responsible for being a role model for young children.

“Every time I put on the sash, the weight of it reminds me of the weight of my job; of the responsibility I have to make a difference for young children,” Lace said, adding that he has been “dreaming” about taking the crown away from actual women in pageants since he was 12 years old.

State Launches New Snitch Hotline to Report ‘Hate Acts’ and ‘Hate Incidents’ — Including ‘Name Calling’

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .Last Thursday, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) and the California Civil Rights Department announced the launch of CA vs Hate. Through the hotline, Californians will be able to snitch on their neighbors for committing “hate acts,” which the service explicitly states do not always include violence.

“A hate incident is a hostile expression or action that may be motivated by bias against another person’s actual or perceived identity,” the website states. “Perpetrators may be motivated by different discriminatory biases, including, but not limited to; bias based on race, color, disability, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, or gender, including gender identity.”

Some examples of “hate incidents,” according to the website, are “refusing service,” “derogatory name calling,” and bullying.

The new hotline, Newsom explained, is “an unequivocal message that hate will not be tolerated” in California.

“We stand firm for a California for All and it is important that we hold perpetrators accountable for their actions and provide resources for those individuals victimized by hate crimes,” he said in a statement. “Now, Californians have another tool to ensure that not only justice is served, but that individuals have access to additional resources to help deal with the lingering wounds that remain after such a horrendous crime occurs.” (Read more from “State Launches New Snitch Hotline to Report ‘Hate Acts’ and ‘Hate Incidents’ — Including ‘Name Calling'” HERE)

Disgusting: Woman Sentenced to 40 Years After Adopting Infant to Produce ‘Sexually Explicit Videos’

/0 Comments/in , /by

A California woman was sentenced to 40 years for exploiting two children, one of whom was an infant she adopted for the sole purpose of sexual abuse, through the production of child pornography, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office of Central District of California.

Stefani Kasey Marie Stevens, 31, was arrested in November 2019 after federal agents were alerted that sexually explicit material involving children had been uploaded by Stevens on a Kik online messaging account, a press release from the attorney’s office stated. In addition to the messaging app, law enforcement officials found a Google account linked to Stevens in which she had uploaded seven sexually explicit photos of the same victim, who was under the age of 12 at the time.

After searching through Stevens’ online accounts, authorities further discovered a conversation between Stevens and a like-minded individual in which Steven expressed her excitement over an upcoming adoption. In the discussion, Stevens revealed the reason for her excitement was so that she could create sexually explicit content with the infant. In subsequent interviews, Stevens admitted to law enforcement that she filmed herself performing oral sex on the infant and took an additional eight to 10 nude photos with the older victim, according to the press release.

California Reparations Task Force Votes to Approve Restitution Plan

/0 Comments/in , /by

California’s reparations task force voted on Saturday in favor of a reparations program, the first of its kind in the United States.

The committee of nine members voted to give final approval a plan with detailed explanations for how restitution should be made to victims of systemic racism, housing discrimination, mass incarceration, and health care inequities. The plan now goes to state legislature for approval. If passed, it could mean hundreds of billions of dollars in payments to black residents of the Golden State.

Calculations provided ahead of the vote showed that black residents who have lived in California their whole life and are 71 or older could receive up to $1.2 million in payments.

The proposed payments released on Wednesday revealed various alleged harms the committee seeks to atone for on behalf of the state of California, with all of the alleged harms varying depending on the time spent in California.

Law Enforcement Claims Renowned Homosexual Professor Admitted to Molestation of Multiple Children

/0 Comments/in , /by

A California professor has been busted for trying to arrange to rape a 7-year-old in conversations with an undercover FBI agent where he suggested luring the girl with a doll and chocolate, prosecutors said.

Rodger “Rod” Githens, an associate professor at the University of the Pacific, was arrested on April 21 on charges including receipt and distribution of images of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct, a criminal complaint from the Eastern District of California confirms.

The graphic complaint includes extensive details of Githens’ online conversations with an undercover FBI agent posing as a “‘taboo-friendly’” 30-year-old man who claimed to be sexually active with his 7-year-old niece.

During the exchange that began on Grindr on March 25, Githens said he was “experienced” with molesting children and expressed interest in meeting the man and his niece. . .

Githens, 44, also told the undercover agent that he was married to a 35-year-old man from Mexico, and that he once molested his husband’s 11-year-old nephew while watching television.

Disneyland Will Host First Ever Pride Nite During ‘After Dark’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Disneyland announced late last week that the California-based theme park will host its first-ever Pride Nites as part of the park’s “After Dark” series in June.

The LGBTQIA+ event — dubbed “Disneyland After Dark: Pride Nite” — will be the first of its kind to be held in the self-described “happiest place on earth” and will extend for two nights, June 13th and June 15th.

“The first-ever Disneyland After Dark: Pride Nite is coming to @Disneyland during Pride Month in June,” Disney tweeted from the brand account. “This separately ticketed event celebrating the LGBTQIA+ community and allies will have themed entertainment, Disney characters, specialty menu items & more.”

A report from ABC News laid out some of the entertainment attendees could expect to take part in during those events, including but not limited to “Pride Night Cavalcade, an Ohana Dance Party in Tomorrowland featuring Stitch, a Pride Night Dance Club at the Rivers of America and a country line dancing event at the Golden Horseshoe.”

The event is also expected to feature a number of favorite Disney characters, who will be available throughout the events to take photos with guests. (Read more from “Disneyland Will Host First Ever Pride Nite During ‘After Dark’” HERE)

How Many Americans Are ‘Very Likely’ to Buy Electric for Their Next Car?

/0 Comments/in , /by

Some 19% of Americans indicate that they are “extremely likely” or “very likely” to purchase an electric vehicle for their next car, even as multiple states attempt to transition toward 100% adoption of the vehicles for new car purchases within the next decade.

The plurality of respondents to a poll from the Associated Press and the National Opinion Research Center said they were “not too likely” or “not at all likely” to buy an electric vehicle, while another 22% indicated they were “somewhat likely” to buy electric and 12% said they “do not expect to purchase a vehicle.” Dominant reasons for hesitance toward electric cars were prohibitively high costs, a lack of charging stations, and personal preference for gas vehicles, as well as concerns with charging times and lack of confidence in current battery technology.

Those who were open to purchasing electric cars meanwhile cited savings on fuel, tax breaks, lessened climate impact, and reduced costs for vehicle maintenance. The poll was conducted between between Jan. 31-Feb. 15 and had 5,400 respondents. It had a 1.7% margin of error.

“While there is plenty of interest in purchasing an electric vehicle, the high upfront cost of owning one and concerns about the country’s charging infrastructure are barriers to more people driving them,” AP-NORC Center Deputy Director Jennifer Benz said in a statement. “Policies that alleviate these concerns will be a key component of building support.”

The concerns regarding electric vehicles could present obstacles to the multiple states which are attempting to encourage universal adoption of the nascent technology within the next several years. California Air Resources Board officials issued new rules last year requiring 35% of new vehicles to be zero-emission by 2026, a standard that will rise to a 68% benchmark by 2030 and a 100% benchmark by 2035. States such as Massachusetts, Washington, and Virginia have previously passed laws conforming their states to the standards.

Alarm Sounded Over Scheme to Eliminate Parental Custody of Children

/0 Comments/in , /by

A commentary by Katrina Trinko, editor-in-chief of The Daily Signal, is warning of a California scheme that would, in essence, remove parental custody for children 12 and older.

It explains that a legislative plan, AB 665, concerning mental health care for lower-income people, would let a stranger give permission to children “as young as 12 years old to consent to being placed into state funded group homes without parental permission…”

The law wouldn’t even require that parents be informed of the situation.

“As long as a mental health professional signs off on it, the kids can go to such a group home – and it doesn’t matter what their parents think,” the report explained.

Erin Friday, a California mom of two teens, told the Daily Signal, “This bill gives a stranger, a school psychologist, power to decide whether a sixth or seventh grader comes home from school that day, and that’s terrifying.
