Only 100,000 More Signatures Needed to Recall California Governor

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom is less than 100,000 signatures away as of Thursday from being forced into a recall special election.

California state law stipulates that a sitting governor must face a recall special election if 12% of voters from the previous gubernatorial election, in this case 1.5 million California residents, sign a petition to recall the governor. At the time of publication, 1.4 million Californians have signed a petition to recall Newsom.

The recall milestone comes amidst Newsom’s poll numbers hitting historic lows in response to the governor’s controversial COVID-19 policies, according to a report from Politico.

The report indicated only 46% of Californians approve of Newsom’s performance as governor, down from nearly two-thirds back in November of last year.

American Dies Hours After COVID Vaccine

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By WND. Officials in California are investigating the death of a local resident who died just hours after receiving a vaccine for the coronavirus.

The Placer County Sheriff’s office made the announcement on Facebook Saturday evening, but details were sparse:

“Placer County Public Health and the Placer County Sheriff-Coroner Division were recently notified of the death of an individual who tested positive for COVID-19 in late December.

“The individual was administered a COVID-19 vaccine several hours before their death on January 21, 2021. The vaccine was not administered by Placer County Public Health. There are multiple local, state, and federal agencies actively investigating this case; any reports surrounding the cause of death are premature, pending the outcome of the investigation. Our thoughts are with the family of the deceased.”

There was no indication which vaccine the person had received. The sheriff’s office told CBS Sacramento that an autopsy would take place Monday. (Read more from “American Dies Hours After COVID Vaccine” HERE)

California resident dies several hours after receiving COVID-19 vaccine; cause of death remains unclear

By Fox News. . .It is unclear if the individual received the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine.

Some people have had allergic reactions to the COVID-19 vaccine, though severe allergic reactions remain extremely rare. Last week, California State Epidemiologist Dr. Erica S. Pan recommended that providers halt the administration of one lot of the Moderna vaccine “out of an extreme abundance of caution” after it caused an allergic reaction in less than ten people.

“While no vaccine or medical procedure is without risk, the risk of a serious adverse reaction is very small,” the California Department of Health wrote. “While less data exists on adverse reactions related to the Moderna vaccine, a similar vaccine shows that the expected rate of anaphylaxis is approximately 1 in 100,000.”

The vaccines do have some side effects, including tiredness, headache, chills, and a fever, but these are “normal signs that your body is building protection” and should go away in a few days, according to the CDC.

33 Missing Children Rescued in Anti-Human Trafficking Operation in California

/0 Comments/in , /by

A multi-agency anti-human trafficking operation led by the FBI rescued 33 missing children in southern California. The Federal Bureau of Investigation announced the news about the investigation on Friday in a press release.

Operation Lost Angels launched on Jan. 11 and found 33 “vulnerable missing children,” eight of which were said to be being sexually exploited or trafficked when law enforcement saved them, according to the feds.

“Two were recovered multiple times during the operation while on the ‘track,’ a common term used to describe a known location for commercial sex trafficking,” the FBI said. “It is not uncommon for victims who are rescued to return to commercial sex trafficking either voluntarily or by force, fraud, or coercion.”

“This harmful cycle highlights the challenges victims face and those faced by law enforcement when attempting to keep victims from returning to an abusive situation,” the news release stated. “Victims may not self-identify as being trafficked or may not even realize they’re being trafficked.”

The operation resulted in the arrest of a suspected human trafficker on state charges. One of the minors had been unlawfully kidnapped by a parent. (Read more from “33 Missing Children Rescued in Anti-Human Trafficking Operation in California” HERE)

Hmm, Why Is Gavin Newsom Hiding Coronavirus Data From the Public?

/0 Comments/in , /by

California Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom is hiding key coronavirus data from the public while inexplicably allowing several counties in the state to reopen.

Following a surge in November, Newsom unveiled new lockdown orders that divided the state into five regions, with each region locking down whenever ICU hospital capacity dipped below 15 percent. Before long, about 98 percent of the state’s population fell under the new restrictions.

Despite ICU capacity still south of 15 percent, the governor has lifted restrictions for 13 counties in the Greater Sacramento area, the AP reported. State data updated daily shows the Sacramento region currently has an ICU capacity of around 7.8 percent at the time of this writing.

In those 13 counties, restaurants are once again allowed to offer outdoor dining, worshipers can attend church services, hair salons and other businesses are allowed to make money and retailers can operate at a higher capacity. Lucky them.

When asked about the underlying data used to justify the reopening of those counties, state health officials cited “projections” purportedly showing ICU capacity in those counties rising above the 15-percent threshold in coming weeks.

California Is the Worst State at Vaccine Distribution

/1 Comment/in , /by

The State of California became the worst of the 50 states in distributing its share of coronavirus vaccines on Thursday, as other states picked up their pace.

Despite improving from 27.5% last week to 37.3% this week, California is “dead last,” as SFGate.com reported Friday:

Thursday’s update to Bloomberg’s vaccine tracker shows that the national rate increased from 38.8% last week to 48.6% this week. Last week’s 50th-ranked state was Alabama, which saw its usage rate jump from 21.2% to 41.1% week-over-week. For reference, California was ranked 49th last week.

This week, the 49th, 48th and 47th ranked states in order are Minnesota (39.8%), Virginia (40.2%) and Alabama (41.1%). The top three states are North Dakota (82.8%), West Virginia (73.0%) and New Mexico (68.6%).

California’s 55 Electoral Votes for Biden Suddenly Targeted in Brand-New Action

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A lawsuit accuses California officials of rampant election-code violations and fraud that irreparably contaminated the results of the 2020 election.

“The lack of integrity in our elections strikes at the heart of our republic,” said Joshua Kroot of Primary Law Group, one of the teams working on the case on behalf of the Election Integrity Project. “The failure to correct this problem immediately will do irreparable injury to our nation and devastate the credibility of all elections into the distant future.”

While more than 60 lawsuits have been filed following the Nov. 3 general election on behalf of President Trump, the complaint goes further, challenging the entire election procedure in California. It also is significant because it requires the decertification of California’s November election results, a move that by itself, could deprive Joe Biden of the presidency.

Biden is expected to get 306 Electoral College votes of 270 needed to win. But California’s lode is 55 votes.

Primary Law Group and another organization working on the case said the balloting in November was contaminated by “the expansion of vote-by-mail ballots and the changes in the law to send vote-by-mail ballots to all registered voters.” (Read more from “California’s 55 Electoral Votes for Biden Suddenly Targeted in Brand-New Action” HERE)

SEE IT: Trump Supporters ‘Uncancel’ Scrapped New Year’s Parade, Hold Own Event

/0 Comments/in , /by

New Year’s Day in Pasadena, Calif.: Time for a parade, right?

Some Trump supporters thought so Friday after the Tournament of Roses Parade – a long-standing Southern California tradition to kick off each year — was canceled because of the coronavirus pandemic.

At least 600 vehicles participated in the event along the usual Rose Parade route. Many vehicles sported American flags from their windows or from the beds of pickup trucks – and drivers honked their horns as they traveled down Colorado Boulevard.

“Trump 2020” flags and patriotic “Don’t Tread on Me” banners also were seen in videos posted on social media.

New Strain of COVID Found in California

/0 Comments/in , /by

California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Wednesday that the new, more easily transmissible strain of coronavirus found recently in the United Kingdom had also been discovered in California.

Newsom made the announcement during a discussion on Facebook Live with Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

Fauci explained that while the new strain seemed to bind more easily to target cells, there was “no indication at all that it increases the virulence” of the disease, meaning that it would not make patients sicker or more susceptible to dying.

Moreover, he said, it seemed that the new strain would not re-infect people who had already had the old strain, and was not resistant to the vaccines that are being rolled out across the U.S.

The first known case of the new coronavirus strain was announced Tuesday in Colorado. (Read more from “New Strain of COVID Found in California” HERE)

California Supreme Court Rules Thousands of Sex Offenders Are Eligible for Early Release

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Monday, the California Supreme Court ruled that thousands of inmates convicted of non-forcible sex crimes may be eligible for early release under a ballot measure that was overwhelmingly approved by voters four years ago.

The initiative, called Proposition 57, was written by then-Governor Jerry Brown (D) and passed by nearly two-thirds of the electorate. It was crafted to reduce the state’s prison population, saying any person found guilty of a “nonviolent felony offense” would be eligible for early parole. Brown said it was never intended to cover sex offenders. However, the original language did not exempt them from consideration. Lower appeals courts had ruled that nonviolent sex offenders could not be excluded, and the high court affirmed those rulings.

“The initiative’s language provides no indication that the voters intended to allow the (Corrections) Department to create a wholesale exclusion from parole consideration based on an inmate’s sex offense convictions when the inmate was convicted of a nonviolent felony,” wrote Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye in the court’s 7-0 decision.

According to The Associated Press, “the ballot measure allows officials to consider paroling inmates convicted of nonviolent crimes after they have served their basic sentence and before they have completed sometimes lengthy additional terms for enhancements for things like using a gun, having prior criminal convictions, or being involved in a street gang.”

California Doctor Fired After Denouncing State Lockdowns

/0 Comments/in , /by

A California doctor was fired after he questioned the effectiveness of coronavirus lockdowns in his state.

“All the data that I am aware of, looking at children and the virus, shows that it’s safe” to reopen schools, Dr. Michael Deboisblanc told Fox News. “There are many other states now that have months of track records showing that it’s safe for their kids to go back to school. And the state of California and the county is just not making that possible.”

“These are restaurants that are just trying to survive and keep their doors open,” he added. “It’s been very difficult for them.”

Deboisblanc was fired from his position as trauma medical director for John Muir Health after he sent a letter to Contra Costa County health officials saying officials should end a stay-at-home order back in May.

“Personally, I think it’s time,” he said this spring of ending lockdowns. “I think, originally, this was put in place to flatten the curve and to make sure hospitals have the resources to take care of COVID patients. We have the current resources to do that, and our other community health is suffering.” (Read more from “California Doctor Fired After Denouncing State Lockdowns” HERE)
