Five Radical, Woke California Laws Just Went Into Effect

/0 Comments/in , , /by

It’s January 1, which means five more woke laws in California go into effect, making the state even more progressive than it was. . .

The first law, which was signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif) in September, is SB 107, which makes California a “sanctuary state” for transgender kids.

It will protect the use of drugs or surgery to provide “gender-affirming care” to kids who travel to California from states that have restricted allowing minors to receive the life-alternating surgery.

SB 1375 will allow nurses to perform abortions without the help of a medical license doctor, which was passed alongside a referendum guaranteeing the right to abortion and contraception. . .

Additionally, Newsom signed a law that decriminalizes jaywalking because of “racism.” (Read more from “Five Radical, Woke California Laws Just Went Into Effect” HERE)

Tucker Blasts Reparations Plan That Would Require ‘Nazi Race Science’ (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Fox News host Tucker Carlson blasted a California plan to explore both reparations for slavery and a process by which to determine who qualified to receive them, arguing that the only way to really know who should get those payments was to implement “Nazi race science.”

Carlson argued during his Wednesday broadcast that because so much time had passed since the end of slavery in the United States — and since so many generations of children had been born since — that ancestral records coupled with DNA tests would likely be required to “prove” that individuals were, in fact, the descendants of slaves.

Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) created a task force in 2020 to determine how such restitution payments might be made, and the current debate is over how to determine who might be eligible to receive them.

“The first-in-the-nation task force previously voted to limit reparations to Black California residents whose ancestors were living in the United States in the 19th century. This week, the group will talk about whether there could be additional eligibility requirements and what time frame reparations could hinge on,” The Los Angeles Times reported.

Newsom Slams Biden for Border Policy: ‘California Is About to Break’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) is warning California that the state could “break” amid President Joe Biden’s decision to reverse Title 42, which allows police and border officers to expedite the expulsion of illegal immigrants.

The Biden Administration is planning to reverse the Trump-era policy, which Newsom says would cause a huge flow of illegal migrants to enter the state through the southern border.

“The fact is, what we’ve got right now is not working and is about to break in a post-42 world unless we take some responsibility and ownership,” Newsom said, as the policy is expected to be lifted next week.

Adding that he doesn’t mean to “point fingers,” Newsom complained about Biden sending “planes and buses to California full of migrants because of all the good work … the state is doing for the immigrant community.”

The California governor claimed the U.S. government is sending hundreds of illegal immigrants to the state because it is “taking care of folks,” adding, “the more we do, the burden is placed disproportionately on us.” (Read more from “Newsom Slams Biden for Border Policy: ‘California Is About to Break'” HERE)

Michael Avenatti Slapped With Massive Prison Sentence

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A federal judge in California sentenced disbarred attorney Michael Avenatti to 14 years in prison Monday for wire fraud and a tax offense.

Avenatti pleaded guilty in June to four wire fraud counts for embezzling money from clients and one count of endeavoring to obstruct the Internal Revenue Code’s administration for obstructing and impeding IRS efforts to collect payroll taxes, including taxes withheld from employees of the company he owned that ran Tully’s Coffee. U.S. District Judge James Selna sentenced him to 14 years in prison, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California.

“In imposing the 14-year sentence, U.S. District Judge James V. Selna ordered that Avenatti’s term of imprisonment run consecutive to sentences totaling five years previously imposed in two federal cases in the Southern District of New York,” the office said.

Avenatti received a four-year prison sentence in June for wire fraud and identity theft for stealing $300,000 of revenue from his former client Stormy Daniels’ book “Full Disclosure,” having already been sentenced to 30 months in prison in June 2021 for trying to extort Nike.

City Will Send Taxpayer Dollars to Residents So They Can Donate to Politicians

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Oakland, California, is set to give adult residents vouchers to donate to candidates for local office every other year, according to The San Francisco Chronicle.

Nearly 74% of the city’s voters approved Measure W, mandating that the city biannually send four $25 dollar vouchers to residents 18 years of age and older for donations to mayoral, City Council or school board candidates, the outlet reported. The program will be paid for with city general funds and include legal permanent residents who lack U.S. citizenship.

Seattle enacted a similar program in 2017, and University of Washington research showed a rise in candidates for local office and a more challenging path to reelection for incumbents, according to the Chronicle. The Oakland measure restricts former city officials from becoming lobbyists.

Oakland Rising Executive Director Liz Suk, whose organization co-sponsored Measure W, argued the Seattle program had ” increased participation in lesser areas” of the city and “voter turnout from communities of color,” the Chronicle reported. However, opposing Alameda County Taxpayers Association President Marcus Crawley contended the Oakland measure was “biased toward incumbents,” deeming it a waste of money.

‘Frightening for Society’: California Releases Thousands of Convicted Pedophiles Within a Year of Conviction

/0 Comments/in , /by

California has released thousands of convicted pedophiles after spending only a few months in prison.

Such pedophiles have been convicted of “a range of horrific acts, including raping kids under 14,” according to the study investigation conducted by the U.K. Daily Mail.

More than 7,000 persons convicted of “lewd or lascivious acts with a child under 14 years of age” have been released in the same year they were convicted. Convicts who committed even more heinous crimes, such as sodomy and rape of children, also served short sentences.

“Thousands of child victims are being denied justice and George Gascón and his group of radical prosecutors can [sic] care less,” Los Angeles Deputy District Attorney Jonathan Hatami, who serves in the Complex Child Abuse Unit and whose outspokenness about DA Gascón contributed to a recall effort, told the Daily Mail.

Some short sentences include 365 pedophiles convicted of continuous sexual abuse of a child — all of whom spent fewer than 12 months in prison. Thirty-nine cases were convictions for sodomy with a child under the age of 16, while there were three cases of kidnapping a child under the age of 14 “with intent to commit lewd or lascivious acts.” (Read more from “‘Frightening for Society’: California Releases Thousands of Convicted Pedophiles Within a Year of Conviction” HERE)

Pack of 10 Poodles Attacks California Beachgoer and Her Elderly Corgi Service Dog

/0 Comments/in , /by

A violent dogfight broke out at a California beach last month — as 10 vicious poodles attacked a 13-year-old corgi and her owner, according to a report.

Kathrin Burleson was walking her corgi Emma on Trinidad State Beach with a friend on Oct. 29 when the pack of standard poodles jumped out of a nearby car and began sprinting towards them, according to the Mad River Union newspaper. . .

The two were quickly plowed over by the crazed pack of poodles.

“Then they jumped us,” Burleson told the paper. “We were at the bottom of a pack of 10 snarling, biting dogs.” . . .

As she tried to fend off the pack of poodles, Burleson felt her finger being bitten. She was stunned when she realized it was the owner of the poodles, who was allegedly biting her finger, the paper said.

California, Vermont Approve Limitless Abortion Measures

/0 Comments/in , /by

Limitless abortion measures were overwhelmingly approved Tuesday in California and Vermont, paving the way to enshrine so-called reproductive rights for women into both state constitutions next year.

In the aftermath of the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade earlier this year, the decision to codify abortion went back to the states.

“The biggest battleground and the most significant war that’s taking place in this nation is the demonic murder of children in the womb, and California is leading the way,” Calvary Chapel Chino Hills Pastor Jack Hibbs told The Epoch Times.

So far, approximately 3.5 million California voters have favored Proposition 1, which changes the California Constitution to say that the state cannot deny or interfere with a person’s so-called reproductive freedom and that people have the fundamental right to choose to have an abortion and use contraceptives.

Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom, who signed 15 abortion-related bills this year with a $200 million state budget included, contributed $3.4 million from his re-election campaign on the measure. (Read more from “California, Vermont Approve Limitless Abortion Measures” HERE)

City To Decide On Lowering Voting Age For Certain Elections

/0 Comments/in , /by

A city in California is deciding whether or not to allow sixteen-year-olds to vote in local elections in a ballot measure on Election Day.

Culver City, California, residents are able to decide on a ballot measure on November 8, called Measure VY. The measure would potentially allow sixteen- and seventeen-year-olds to vote in city and school board elections. If voters greenlight the proposal, the measure would stay in effect until they decide to get rid of it.

If approved, the measure would not immediately go into effect, but it would instead allow for the City Council and the School Board to decide if certain conditions in the proposal are reached, including making sure that systems would be able to add the teenagers.

In Maryland, there are already six locations that allow sixteen- and seventeen-year-olds to vote in certain elections, and San Francisco attempted to make the change in 2020, according to the Los Angeles Times. During that election cycle, 49.2% of San Francisco voters were in favor of a similar proposal to the one facing Culver City, but it didn’t reach the cutoff needed.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Police in San Diego County, California, and FBI agents reportedly coordinated to conduct several early-morning raids on homes with redacted search warrants.

The redactions included the location and the people being searched by the warrants, according to a CBS affiliate in San Diego.

The raids were conducted Thursday morning, with several of the targets being individuals with warrants out for their arrest, but it is unknown how many of those individuals were found in the raids.

Greg Otis, one of the residents affected by the raids, told the local news station more than a dozen officers showed up to his home early in the morning and demanded that he walk out of his home with his hands up. When he asked for a search warrant, they did not present one but said they were looking for his nephew.
