California Democrats Pass Emergency Law to Prevent Federal Election Oversight

Posted on by

The Democrat electoral strategy can be summed up in one word: cheat. Their reliance on voting by the illegal aliens they let into the country in such massive numbers has been repeatedly confirmed. They vehemently oppose the SAVE Act, despite overwhelming public support for the voter ID required to conduct free and fair elections. Democrats are even willing to facilitate Islamic terrorism to enable election fraud. Now Gavin Newsom has signed an emergency election bill to prevent federal oversight.

The Epoch Times reports:

The new law, Senate Bill 73, authored by state Democratic Sens. Sabrina Cervantes and Tom Umberg, prohibits any person—including federal agents—from accessing voter rolls or election technology without a court order. It also restricts law enforcement from disrupting election workers except in public safety emergencies and makes it a crime to knowingly remove voted ballots from the custody of election officials.

Here’s why Democrats regard this as an emergency:

Newsom signed the election legislation five days ahead of California’s June 2 statewide primary, where a crowded and closely watched governor’s race is already underway.

In a jungle primary, they need to make very sure the top two finishers are not the only non-moonbats in the race, Steve Hilton and Chad Bianco.

Xavier Becerra Confirms That He Is Inept

Posted on by

Considering the mess he has been making of California, it would seem that no one could be a worse choice for governor than Gavin Newsom. Yet look who is leading in the polls to replace him:

Here’s a tough question: who would vote for a Democrat so inept that he cannot even handle questions from the liberal establishment media, which is essentially on his side?

It’s as if Xavier Becerra were afraid he would make a fool of himself — like this:

There is a sensible alternative: Steve Hilton. But Hilton is too sane to prevail in California, just as Spencer Pratt is too sane to prevail against the godawful Karen Bass in Los Angeles.

This is the same state that gave us two terms of Governor Ronald Reagan. Strike that; it is not the same state. The erstwhile Golden State has undergone what Barack Obama would call a “fundamental transformation.”

But who knows? Maybe California can be transformed back before it irrevocably succumbs to the Democrat Death Spiral.

Gavin Newsom Provides Pornography to Serial Killers and Child Molesters

Posted on by

Gavin Newsom does more to win over constituents than give them free diapers that taxpayers are forced to buy from a company whose CEO is connected to his wife. He also provides incarcerated criminals with pornography.

The New York Post reports:

[T]he Newsom administration approved a $189 million contract to provide new digital tablets — generic, flat-screen devices in a plastic shell — to every inmate in the state prison system, at “no cost” to offenders.

The idea is to bestow “digital equity” upon the “justice impacted.”

What do you suppose inmates use the tablets for? You guessed correctly:

In the 1980s, rapist and serial murderer Robert Maury killed a woman by strangling her with a nylon clothesline, strangled and killed another two women, and brutally raped a fourth before he was caught by authorities.

Now, Maury is living at a state prison facility in Stockton, California, where he has viewed pornography on his taxpayer-funded digital tablet. …

Samuel Amador, another serial killer who was sentenced to death, had a similar experience. He said inmates watch pornographic videos and have sexually explicit conversations through their tablets.

It gets worse:

In a recent case, Nathaniel Ray Diaz, who was convicted of committing sex crimes against a 12-year-old girl, allegedly used a prison-issued tablet to contact and exploit her from inside Avenal State Prison. Diaz allegedly told the girl to send him sexually explicit images, which he received through a co-conspirator.

Say what you will about Democrats; they know how to take care of their friends.

Blue State Taxman Comes After Those Trying to Escape

Posted on by

You can check out of Hotel California any time you like — but the taxman might never let you leave.

From the Daily Mail:

Americans moving out of California say state bureaucrats are demanding they explain why they left, or risk being taxed as residents.

Some have received letters demanding various evidence of their departure…

Last year, California collected about $275 billion in personal income, sales and corporate taxes. But that does not suffice when Newsom et al. are paying indefinitely for bridges to nowhere, trains to nowhere, 911 emergency lines to nowhere, et cetera.

Officials evaluate a taxpayer’s ‘closest connections’ to determine residency, looking at where they spend their time, where they own or rent property and where their financial and personal ties are strongest. …

Maintaining significant ties to California – even after a move – can trigger further scrutiny.

New York is even worse:

Under the domicile test, officials assess where a person’s closest personal and professional ties are located.

If those ties remain in New York, the state can still treat someone as a resident even if their primary home is elsewhere…

At this point it would be advisable for those who do not wish to be looted to avoid setting foot in California, New York, or anywhere else Democrats have consolidated power.

Gavin Newsom’s 911 Emergency Line to Nowhere

Posted on by

Complementing Gavin Newsom’s extravagantly expensive Bridge to Nowhere and his still more extravagantly expensive Train to Nowhere, Californians now have a 911 Emergency Line to Nowhere.

Via City Journal:

During his first year in office, the governor confidently projected that he would replace the state’s emergency call system within three years, a goal that officials previously estimated would cost $132 million. But nearly seven years later, the state has spent more than $450 million on a regionalized “Next Generation” digital system that suffered such appalling failures and disruptions during its initial rollout that the Newsom administration scrapped it entirely.

Blackouts went on for as long as 12 hours.

Meantime, the old system is hanging on by a thread—and it’s only a matter of time, some believe, before it goes dark.

Now Newsom is starting over. The Governor’s Office of Emergency Services estimates it will take until 2030 to get the next attempt up and running. However,

Nobody believes that the new system will be completed by 2030. “They said that ten years ago,” one dispatcher told us.

Meanwhile, we hear stories like this:

In Oakland, the old system nearly left a police officer dead. In 2019, an off-duty Oakland cop named Danny Chor approached a woman who was vandalizing cars. During the confrontation, the woman stabbed him in the neck. Chor made multiple calls to 911 but could not connect. A nearby truck operator tried to help, but his call also failed. The bystander then called his employer, who was able to connect to the dispatchers directly. First responders brought Chor to the hospital in the back of a patrol car, fearing that he would not survive if they waited for the ambulance.

Now for the good news. The same presumably well-connected contractors who made a fortune creating the failed Next Gen system will continue to rake in taxpayer money on the next attempt. True, California will eventually run out of other people’s money under Newsom’s inept management, but if the liberal establishment manages to install him as President of the USA, he won’t have that problem, because he can always print more.

Billionaire Moonbat Campaigns Against Billionaires

Posted on by

Hypocrisy and self-hatred are among the most salient features of moonbats. Self-awareness is not. This brings us to Tom Steyer, the left-wing billionaire attempting to buy the office of Governor of California.

Check out the video he uploaded of himself posing in a “Workers Over Billionaires” shirt during Friday’s communist May Day rallies:

Liquidating billionaires is high on the agenda of his fellow May Day moonbats. “Workers” in the context of modern Marxism refers to people who receive more benefits from Big Government than they pay in taxes, regardless of whether they do any work.

Democrat Policies Produce Typhus in California

Posted on by

California spends $billions per year on homelessness. For the money, taxpayers have received more homelessness — and consequently, more rats, more fleas, and more typhus.

Via Nevada News & Views:

Los Angeles County just reported a record 220 cases of flea-borne typhus in 2025, up from just 187 the year before.

About 90% of those people ended up in the hospital, according to the county’s latest public health data released in April.

Typhus is a disease associated with the Middle Ages. It is spread by fleas that live on rats. Rats are flourishing in California due to the homeless encampments that proliferate under Democrat rule. Restrictions on landfills that result in garbage piling up and on rat poison in the name of protecting wildlife have also contributed.

Homosexuals With Baby Assault Conservative Influencer

Posted on by

Babies taunted for wanting their mothers are not the only ones endangered by gay sex partners who have acquired children. The New York Post reports from ultra-LGBT West Hollywood:

Ryley Niemi and “Off The Record USA” were interviewing two men with a baby about adoption rights when one of the gay men attacked him, a video posted on Instagram showed. …

In the clip, the influencer was attacked by one of the gay parents seconds after he dropped a stat claiming “gay men are statistically much more likely to commit child molestation” and pressed if the two men had paid $50,000 to a woman to be pregnant.

So they demonstrated that they are too sane to be a threat to anyone by assaulting him.

The video:

Speaking truth to moonbattery can be hazardous to your health.

In a second part of the clip, the group of men being interviewed became agitated demanding Ryley and the crew leave before a fight breaks out.

The upset gay parent who had threatened Ryley earlier came after him, whacking him on the back of the head several times, resulting Niemi falling into the camera.

One of men being interviewed also threatens the entire crew saying, “You all deserve to be killed…You all deserve to be shot in the f–king head.”

As they might be, under consolidated Democrat rule.

The man who attacked the influencer has since been identified as David Vullin, according to the WeHo Times who spoke to Vullin’s husand [sic], Anthony Vullin, a member of the Business License Commission in West Hollywood.

Niemi’s Off the Record USA is raising money to replace an expensive camera that was destroyed in the attempt to silence him. According to the GoFundMe page, when Niemi was assaulted…

…the situation became serious enough that over a dozen emergency responders arrived at the scene.

In the middle of the incident, one of our primary cameras, a Sony A7C II, was completely destroyed.

But at least there are no reports of California Democrats working on legislation to criminalize his journalism, as with Nick Shirley.
