Governor Moonbeam: Making California Great Again?

The last weekend has been nothing short of shocking for California voters.  Constitutional conservatism has emerged again (somewhat) in a liberal bastion committed to resisting our duly elected President through every means available. The city of Huntington Beach filed their own lawsuit against the state of California for SB 54, the so-called Sanctuary State law. In early April, when Surf City passed this motion to direct their city attorney, I had attended the meeting, not sure about what to expect on this matter.

The Surf City legal move is unique, in that they were contesting the law for its overreach against the city’s home-rule powers as a charter city. In California, municipalities fall into one of two categories, charter or general law. General law cities are like extensions of the state legislature, and therefore must abide by statutes passed and approved in Sacramento. Charter cities, including Huntington Beach, but also my home city of Torrance, enjoy greater autonomy on a range of issues, including the operation of their police force. SB 54 encroached on those rights.

Orange County Superior Court Judge James Crandall agreed. Citing well-written arguments from both sides, the court sided with Huntington Beach. More specifically, he dismissed the often-offered arguments that police departments need to follow SB 54 in order to maintain trust and cooperation with immigrant communities.

This court victory was bolstered by a slew of vetoes issued by Governor Jerry Brown. In his final year as California’s chief executive, Brown issued some surprising rebukes to the liberal insanity of the Democratically-controlled state legislature. These rejections are so surprising, they deserve greater scrutiny:

1.       SB 539: This legislation was intended to expand the college tax credit for high-income earners in California, a not-so subtle way for California taxpayers to get around the deduction caps put in place with the Trump Administration’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act passed in 2017. Governor Brown rejected this bill, recognizing that the already byzantine federal tax code would have harmed whatever intended benefits, inviting “intervention by the Internal Revenue Service.”

The Democrats loved the IRS when they were going after conservative groups. Now that Project Veritas and the House GOP majority have submitted the federal tax agency to greater scrutiny, they will target tax dodgers, especially in California.

2.       SB 1424: Other wise known as the “Fake News” bill, would have required the (flawed, biased) state attorney general to establish an advisory board to look into the origin, proliferation, and solution to the spread of false information on the Internet. Of course, this legislation amounted to nothing more than liberal government overreach to snuff out diverse, albeit accurate, information against liberal hegemony on social media. Brown’s verdict? “As evidenced by the numerous studies by academic and policy groups on the spread of false information, the creation of a statutory advisory group to examine this issue is not necessary.” For once, Brown relied on statistical evidence to reject bad legislation.

3.       SB 349: This bill would have barred ICE agents from arresting illegal alien criminals in courthouses. The court system has become the latest battleground between liberals and common-sense Californians who want immigration laws enforced. Brown rejected this bill for fear of “unintended consequences.” He then indicated that SB 54 already contained provisions for the attorney general to draw up guidelines regarding protections of “immigrants” in courthouses.

4.       SB 174: This veto was the most surprising. If signed into law, this legislation would have allowed illegal aliens, non-citizens to serve on California’s commissions and governing boards. This heinous disregard for federal and state law has already occurred, with two illegal aliens appointed to city commissions in Huntington Park, and then State Senator Kevin De Leon’s perverse decision to appoint an illegal alien (with a law practice!) to a state college advisory board.

Brown deftly rejected this legislation with a straightforward statement: “I believe existing law — which requires citizenship for these forms of public service — is the better path.”

Why has one of the most liberal governors in the country inadvertently channeling some of President Trump’s populist conservatism? He is finally paying attention to the common out cry of voters who are begging for the rule of law to be restored.

Here are a few reasons for this final conservative streak from Governor Moonbeam, many of which suggest that the anti-republican Resistance which has mushroomed over the last years is about to dissolve.

1.       California has become increasingly dependent on federal assistance because of the non-stop wildfires. Any more poking in the federal eyes could have jeopardized lots of concerns. How much longer can California’s political class confront Washington D.C. without suffering the consequences? This backtracking proves that in the long-run, liberal states cannot sustain their cold civil war with the Trump Administration.

2.       The “unintended consequences” which Brown referred to would have led to more ICE raids and more deportations. Also, courts should remain a bastion of security for law enforcement to carry out necessary raids and conduct warranted arrests.

3.       California cities, counties, and the state as a whole have already lost millions in federal grants for defying federal immigration laws. This would have made it much worse.

4.       Huntington Beach's victory in Orange County Superior Court likely discouraged his signature for the two “pro-immigrant” bills. More costly lawsuits from the federal government would bankrupt an already cash-strapped state.

Californians are rejecting the degrading policies which have forced up the cost of living without providing the basic services expected of government: protection of individual rights and providing public safety. Because of this uninterrupted liberal lunacy out of Sacramento, Democratic candidates are actually losing ground to resurgent Republicans. Gubernatorial candidate John Cox is gaining on liberal Democratic successor Gavin Newsom. Brown’s signature on those terrible bills would have pushed voters over the top and propelled the Republican slate.

Whether he likes it or not, Governor Brown is inadvertently making California Great Again, and his latest efforts to hold back the Democratic insanity will have a longer-lasting effect, but not as he intended.

Miraculous Victory! Brown Vetoes "Illegal Aliens on Commissions" Bill SB 174

This is nothing short of a miracle.

It's proof positive of God's Word, Work, and Will in our lives.

Thank you JESUS!

Even Governor Brown has to submit to the truth and the natural order of matters:

Citizens only for California boards and commissions, Jerry Brown says in veto

Undocumented immigrants and other non-citizens will not be allowed to serve on state and local boards and commissions, despite recent efforts to further integrate those living in California illegally into civic life.

This issue should have never been considered, let alone voted upon in any legislature.

One cannot imagine what would have happened should this bill had been signed into law.

Gov. Jerry Brown on Thursday vetoed Senate Bill 174, which would have authorized the appointment of any California resident over the age of 18 to a civil office, regardless of immigration or citizenship status.

Disgusting.

Now check out what Brown wrote in rejection of this terrible law:

“I believe existing law — which requires citizenship for these forms of public service — is the better path,” Brown wrote in his veto message.

Sen. Ricardo Lara, the Bell Gardens Democrat who introduced SB 174, said the citizenship requirement for state posts originated with anti-Chinese immigrant discrimination in the 19th century and eliminating it would allow the state to better serve its diverse communities.

BULL--SH*T!

I am sickened how the Brown Supremacy movement taking the plights of other ethnic groups to justify their lawlessness.

Chinese migrants in the United States did not break into the country.

Earlier in the year, the state Senate appointed Lizbeth Mateo, a 33-year-old attorney and immigrant rights activist who came to the United States from Mexico illegally with her family as a teenager, to an advisory committee that aims to increase college access for low-income and minority students.

This illegal alien needs to be removed from the commission and summarily deported, too.

I have informed her of her lawlessness:

@LizbethMateo Did you read what @JerryBrownGov wrote when he vetoed #SB174?

"I believe existing law--which requires citizenship for these forms of public service--is the better path."

Mateo, step down from #Cal_SOAP and self-deport.@calicrusader @tchuy03 @FAIRImmigration pic.twitter.com/Bba3vyjgbW

— Arthur C. Schaper (@ArthurCSchaper) September 30, 2018

Lara said the veto is short-sighted. “If people have earned the opportunity to serve through their experience and talents, we should invite them to the table,” the statement said. “There was a time when Chinese Americans, Japanese Americans, African Americans, and Catholics were prevented from serving, and California cleared away those barriers. I predict that this barrier will eventually fall.”

Ricardo Lara's hateful disregard for citizenship was worse than short-sighted. It was criminal and unconstitutional.

Brown on Thursday also vetoed Senate Bill 349, which would have prohibited the civil arrest, inside a courthouse, of someone attending a court proceeding or with legal business before the court.

The measure, also from Lara, was an attempt to block U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents from targeting immigrants for arrest at California courthouses.

Brown commented:

“I support the underlying intent of this measure, but I am concerned that it may have unintended consequences,” Brown wrote in his veto message. He referenced the “sanctuary state” law, passed last year, which tasked the California attorney general with developing guidelines for limiting cooperation with federal immigration authorities at courthouses and other public facilities.

“I believe the prudent path is to allow for that guidance to be released before enacting new laws in this area,” Brown wrote.

Prudent path? Really. All this talk about "paths" is really interesting. All of a sudden, Jerry Brown is not rebelling against the federal government. How does anyone of us explain this change of heart?

Final Reflection

So, why did Governor Brown do the unthinkable and do the right thing?

Here are a few ideas:

1. California is extremely dependent on federal money now because of the non-stop fires. Any more poking in the federal eyes could have jeopardized lots of concerns.

2. The unintended consequences would have led to more ICE raids and more deportations (which I am OK with)

3. California cities, counties, and the state as a whole have already lost millions in federal grants. This would have made it much worse.

4. Another costly lawsuit was all but certain.

5.Huntington Beach's victory in OC Court discouraged his signature.

6. Democratic candidates all over the state are actually losing, and signing off on SB 174 would have pushed voters over the top to elect a GOP slate.

These efforts to limit the Democrat Party's immoral, irreverent depravity are too little, too late at this point.

HA HA! Jerry Brown Bows to Trump, Sending Troops to the Border

This article is a little late in writing, and Brown put a bunch of caps and limitations on how the National Guard would be deployed at the border.

My answer? Let's just see how long his opposition last, for I doubt that he will get away with such brazen, lawless intransigence.

Jerry Brown will send National Guard troops to California border withMexico

After days of speculation, California has decided that it will comply with Washington's requests to deploy National Guard personnel to the border California shares with Mexico.

This language, this diffident attitude is complete unacceptable. State Governors do not get to choose which laws they obey, which executive orders they comply with, and which orders they can ignore. The President has the right and authority to assembly the national guard as needed for any event.

In a statement published Wednesday morning, Governor Jerry Brown said the California National Guard would accept federal funding to beef up border security, much like Arizona, New Mexico and Texas have.

Would Governor Brown really reject federal money? For any reason? It's hard to believe that Democrats have become so cold-hearted to the needs of California's diverse citizenry. Public safety and the rule of law should not be partisan issues, yet the modern Democratic Party has done exactly that. Such brazen disregard for the role of the state is disgusting and must be confronted.

But he attached a disclaimer and made it clear his acceptance of funds didn't indicate he agreed with the federal government's agenda on immigration and borders.

No one cares whether you agree or disagree with a law. The rule of law must be upheld, and you need to deal with it!

"Let's be crystal clear on the scope of the mission," he wrote. "This will not be a mission to build a new wall. It will not be a mission to round up women and children or detain people escaping violence and seeking a better life. And the California National Guard will not be enforcing federal immigration laws."

No one expects the border guard to arbitrarily round up mothers and children. Being a mother, being a child is not a deportable offense. Residing in the country illegally: that is a deportable offensive, and one not open for debate. Shame on the California Democratic Party for making illegal aliens more important than citizens. Shame!

The deployment's purpose, Governor Brown said, is to supplement the state's existing efforts to "combat transnational crime" which already have stationed fifty-five servicemembers at the border.

Of course, the best way to fight transnational gangs is to ... Build That Wall!!

"The location of Guard personnel – and number specifically working in support of operations along the border, the coast and elsewhere in the state – will be dictated by the needs on the ground," Brown's press secretary Evan Westrup said.

Final Reflection

This is a victory of sorts for the President. The one governor I know of who is sticking her feet to resist the President is Kate Brown of Oregon. She should be impeached for the disastrous behavior she is engaging in. She wants to turn the Beaver State into a sanctuary for illegal aliens--and she has done exactly that with the stroke of a pen. She routinely pushes back against President Trump.

She got really upset that I was wearing a MAGA hat in the state legislature, and apparently the state staffers have put my name on some list so that I cannot enter the building anymore. Who do they think they are? This is outrageous!

The First Amendment does not stop outside the legislature. If anything, a government building like the Oregon State House should be embracing the United States Constitution in its fullest form.

At any rate, California has not completely lost its mind, yet. There is hope, and we see that even governors in deep blue states have to play by the same rules as everyone else.

CAGOP: Enough is Enough--End the Crazy Train

Arthur -- Did you see the bad news? 

LA TIMES: "Cost for California bullet train system rises to $77.3 billion"

The bullet-train is going off the rails, Arthur. The price tag doubled to $77 billion - and could rise to as high as $98 billion. And the project is being delayed another four years, estimating it won't be operational until 2033. Add your name and take a stand against this crazy train. 

Taxpayers deserve to know why their hard-earned money is being wasted. For too long, Gov. Brown and his liberal allies have shown they will do whatever it takes to protect their favorite pet project - even if it's costing ordinary Californians billions. Enough is enough. DEMAND ACTION! 

But Capitol Democrats' refuse to take action. It's time Sacramento shuts down the California High-Speed Rail. Click HERE if you agree!

California Fleeing: High Desert Residents Heading Out

Even in red sections of California, residents can't deal with the high taxes, fees, and regulations squeezing out the middle class and retirees.

This has been the Democratic Party's plan from the beginning. Create ethnic divisions, drive out businesses, diminish home ownership, create an ever-increasing dependence class of welfare recipients and foreign nationals, and entrench the power of public sector unions.

There you have California, a blue dystopia if there ever was one.

Packing up and moving out: People are leaving California in droves,including some High Desert residents

               

VICTORVILLE — Billy Joel’s classic tune “Movin’ Out” could be an appropriate theme song for the many individuals in the High Desert and California who have packed up and relocated to places like Oregon, Michigan, Arizona, Texas and Idaho.

Oregon might not be the best place to move. Texas, Idaho and Arizona are better places to go.

The Golden State continues to rank No. 1 as the state that has waved goodbye to more residents, about 143,000 last year, than welcomed those who have moved here, according to a U.S. Census Bureau report.

Even more than Illinois? I think those two states are tied for complete economic Armageddon.

And despite the state losing 3.5 million people to other states from 2010 to 2015, many demographic experts said there is no mass exodus from California.

But this story is not so much about the amount of Californians leaving, but about why so many longtime High Desert residents have moved out of the Victor Valley.

That means that Californians are leaving. I had cousins and an aunt who lived in the Barstow area, and they got fed up and left. One of my cousins lives in Oregon, another in Minnesota. My aunt lives in New Mexico, and another aunt lives in Texas.

No one wants to live in California. I am the last member of my immediate family still in California. What a tragedy, what a disaster the Golden State has turned into.

Mike and Velvet Ambuski from Hesperia are among those who have relocated because they wanted to live in an area with less crime, better jobs, friendlier people, improved services, less traffic and a more politically conservative atmosphere.

Hesperia has turned into another third world ghetto, complete with Section 8 Housing and plummeting property tax values and thus property taxes. It's a downward spiral if there ever was one.

The Ambuskis began their relocation road trip two weeks ago when they drove from California to Velvet’s home state of Michigan, a move Mike Ambuski calls, “One of the best things we’ve ever done.”

Californians who would rather live in Michigan! What is the world coming to?!

A former employee at Rancho Motor Company in Victorville, Ambuski, 40, began his new job Monday as parts manager at a Chevy dealership in Ithaca, just a few miles from the home of Velvet’s mother.

“California is just getting too expensive and the crime in the High Desert is getting worse by the day,” He said. “I think the last straw for us is when (Gov.) Jerry Brown came out with his new fuel taxes and car registration fees.”

WOW! Unbelievable. Charging hard-working Californians more just for driving has been too much for them to tolerate. What can we do to reverse this terrible trend? Is there anything that can be done?

A California native who is experiencing his first winter in Michigan, Ambuski said he’s amazed by the culture of Michigan, where “people are nice,” “no one looks at you weird when you wave to them” and everyone is quick to help their neighbor.

“The weather hasn’t been that bad,” he said Thursday, while the high temperature of the day hovered near 20 degrees. “As long as the wind doesn’t blow, we’re good.”

I stayed in Oregon for a week during the Christmas Season. It's cold, windy, and very grey outside. Not that much fun. Not only that, but residents are telling me that the state is getting bluer by the minute even though the cost of living is lower in Oregon compared to the United States.

As for Michigan, I am not sure if I could stand the rough winters there. 20° is cold!

Realtor Karen Sanchez, whose parents recently moved to Texas because the political climate in California “infringed on their personal rights,” said there is a “steady flow” of people moving out and moving into the High Desert and California.

California is a statist dystopia with all these Demo-rats turning the state into a playground for illegal aliens.

“Prop. 46 made a huge impact in our area and people are feeling uncomfortable and unsafe because crime is going up,” Sanchez said. “It’s unsettling to hear that someone was murdered last night, but in reality, this is still a very safe area compared to many places in California.”

San Bernardino County Sheriff John McMahon said in 2017 that violent crime had risen over 20 percent in the High Desert since just a year earlier, the Daily Press reported.

That fast!

With 33 murders last year in the High Desert, the area’s homicide rate jumped by 11 from the previous year, with Victorville seeing nearly half the homicides, with 15 reported. The city’s total equaled the combined number of homicides reported in the city in 2015 and 2016.

McKenzie and Christine Weisman of Victorville decided to move back to their home state of Oregon after living in the High Desert for years.

Now that is really sad. Oregon expatriates would rather live in ... Oregon than California. I wonder what they will do when the crime rates skyrocket in the Beaver State because of the rising number of illegal aliens there.

“I came back to be with my mother, who is not doing well, just about the same time McKenzie’s company had an opening for him here,” Christine Weisman said. “Kenzie is working at the new Winco that is located between both our parents. We also live in Beaverton, where we had our son, Luke, buried.”

Before leaving, Christine Weisman said the couple had multiple conversations about moving because of the “worsening crime” in the Victor Valley, adding that, “You can only tell your scared kids so many times that gunshots are fireworks. ”

Children are in danger in the High Desert, too. The parents and the families that invested in the region are surrounded by military brass, both active and retired. The region still has a sizeable military presence, and yet the crimes rates are skyrocketing. This is truly sad.

“It seemed like the Sheriff’s helicopter was always flying over our house, with the bullhorn blaring some kind of announcement,” Weisman said. “I think the only things I miss are my friends and the sun.”

The weather keeps me California home-grown, too. I refuse to leave my home because of Democratic Party Brown Supremacists and their bigoted enablers.

Weisman’s said she was “surprised and blessed” when she received a call from a fellow mother who asked her about the “760 area code” on a birthday party invitation her daughter had received.

“I called her back and found out her and her husband both attended Hesperia Christian School,” Weisman said. “We go to the same church with them, our kids go to the same school and we hang out all the time. Crazy how they knew exactly why we wanted to leave the High Desert.”

A retired Sheriff’s deputy, who wished to remain anonymous, told the Daily Press “the increase in crime” in the Victor Valley was one of the main reasons he and his wife moved out of the High Desert.

“My wife couldn’t even go shopping at Winco without being accosted,” he said. “Something has to change when you don’t feel safe in public.”

WHAT?!

Another “major trend” are parents moving out of the High Desert to be with their adult children and grandchildren, said Sanchez, who listed several couples who have left their own empty nests.

Parents are joining with their children. OK, but let's keep in mind that all the children are living in every state but California.

After 47 years of living in Apple Valley, David Rinne, 55, said he decided to move to Salem, Oregon, the land of streams, pine trees, canyons, wildlife and 10-minute wait times at the Department of Motor Vehicles.

Despite revealing that his heart will “always be in the High Desert,” Rinne said he’s heartbroken by the “growing news reports” of shootings, vandalism, theft and crime in the Victor Valley.

“It’s much safer here and people are more respectful and not so wound up,” Rinne said. “People give you a break in traffic, seeing a doctor doesn’t require a lot of waiting, the scenery is beautiful and car registration for any vehicle is set at $86 for two years. It really is a blessing to be here.”

My Dad tells me all about it in Oregon.

A retired contractor who painted “thousands of homes and businesses” over the decades, Rinne said he hung up his sprayer and brushes when he became disabled. This allowed him and his wife, Mary, the “freedom” to move north when their son Dustin, 29, and his fiance, Brittany moved to Oregon and had their daughter, Kaidynce.

“Dustin is a certified welder and he moved to his fiance’s home state about three years ago because there weren’t any good paying jobs in the High Desert,” Rinne said. “There was nothing holding Mary and I back back so we decided to make the move too. My wife was also determined to be with the new grandbaby.”

Rinne is one of several former residents who said they saved money in their move by selling most of their belongings and purchasing a large storage trailer for under $3,000.

So much to be saved by moving somewhere else.

“We took what we needed, loaded our cars onto to the trailer and headed out,” Rinne said. “I think we saved about $1,000 even after we bought new furnishings.”

Rinne said his son, David Jr., 35, and his family are eyeing a move from the High Desert to Idaho for work in the aeronautics industry, adding that his son is “just plain tired of the High Desert.”

“I miss the rock climbing, the weather, our dirt bikes, the proximity to the mountains, the beach and down the hill, but the High Desert just isn’t what it used to be and I don’t believe it was designed to hold so many people,” David Rinne said. “I’m just glad Dustin, his fiance, our granddaughter and the Lord paved the way for all us to move out of California.”

The state of California could house millions of Americans, but central planning from Sacramento has ruined the state completely, and was designed to ensure that fewer people would stay.

Several people told Sanchez the passing of Prop. 64, the state’s acceptance of cannabis business and California’s liberal leanings are forcing people to pack up and “vote with their feet."

“I’ve had dozens of people tell me they’d leave if they could,” Sanchez said. “We still have people moving here, but the High Desert is experiencing a huge cultural shift.”

Next week, the Daily Press will examine the cultural and economic impact that occurs when longtime residents leave the High Desert.

Final Reflection

The High Desert was a high point for conservatives, and yet it's facing the same cultural currents which had turned the rest of the state blue over the last thirty years. The city of Victorville has an arrogant, incompetent Latina named Blanca Gomez on the city council. She is a routine disgrace, not interested in doing what is best for the city, but only interested in pushing a racist agenda.

I can't wait for the voters in that city to throw her out of office. She is a true embarrassment, and I submit that she is a big part of the Democratic takeover ruining that state. It is so sad that there is an influx of dependents, criminals, and illegal aliens in some of the reddest parts of California.

I can't wait for Trump and Sessions to bust down the doors and demand full enforcement of all immigration laws. They cannot show up fast enough.

Shameful: California Exposes Citizens to HIV With Lower Penalties

I finally had the time to comment on Scott Weiner's unthinkable legislation SB 239.

It is no longer a felony to knowingly infect a sexual partner with AIDS.

Governor Jerry Brown signed off on this perverse bill.

It is OK for an infected person to spread AIDS to someone else, and it will only count as a misdemeanor.

Unbelievable.

What?

Yes,!

Check out the final vote on this bill, including the concurrence which had followed:

SB 239 Final Vote

The tally for the vote is particularly disturbing.

Who voted for this terrible bill?

Two Republicans--Catharine Baker and Brian Maienschein.

My own Assemblyman Al Muratsuchi voted for this perverse legislation, too.

Check out this gay libertarian activist with Steve Crowder.

He has been marginalized by homosexual activists because he opposed this terrible bill--which has now become law.

Louder with Crowder

Now check out what the Los Angeles Times had to report, as well:

Knowingly exposing others to HIV will no longer be a felony in California

Gov. Jerry Brown signed a bill Friday that lowers from a felony to a misdemeanor the crime of knowingly exposing a sexual partner to HIV without disclosing the infection.

The measure also applies to those who give blood without telling the blood bank that they are HIV-positive.

WHAT?!

The Red Cross will probably have to discontinue receiving blood from patients in the state of California because of this legislation. I cannot believe I am reading this. It was bad enough that the legislature essentially decriminalized child prostitution, in that the children themselves will not be arrested for the crime. Now the johns and the pimps can just push the children into harm's way, hide their own identity as is expected, and no one goes to jail. No effort of law enforcement will emerge to stop this travesty.

Individuals with AIDS can introduce their blood

Modern medicine allows those with HIV to live longer lives and nearly eliminates the possibility of transmission, according to state Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) and Assemblyman Todd Gloria (D-San Diego), authors of the bill.''

Scott Weiner is a liar.

“Today California took a major step toward treating HIV as a public health issue, instead of treating people living with HIV as criminals,” Wiener said in a statement. “HIV should be treated like all other serious infectious diseases, and that’s what SB 239 does.”

Having HIV is not a crime. Infecting someone with a life-altering, if not life-threatening disease is still an assault, a damaging affront to the safety and sanctity of the human person.

Supporters of the change said the current law requires an intent to transmit HIV to justify a felony, but others noted cases have been prosecuted where there was no physical contact, so there was an argument intent was lacking.

Brown declined to comment on his action.

Of course he did. He was a coward, pressured by the aggressive, hateful LGBT lobby to go along with this travesty of a law. There should indeed be a stigma for those who go around infecting people with AIDS.

It is evil to give people a life-threatening disease. That is wrong!

HIV has been the only communicable disease for which exposure is a felony under California law. The current law, Wiener argued, may convince people not to be tested for HIV, because without a test they cannot be charged with a felony if they expose a partner to the infection.

They would not have knowingly infected someone with AIDS if ... they did not know that they had AIDS! The logic behind this legislation is just unbelievable. Liberalism is a mental disorder, a complete break with reality.

“We are going to end new HIV infections, and we will do so not by threatening people with state prison time, but rather by getting people to test and providing them access to care,” Wiener said.

They can do that without this bill. Crowder's guest acknowledges his homosexual preferences and his AIDS diagnosis. He was knowingly infected by a political opponent--and he has to spend incredible amounts of money to keep the AIDS virus.

Supporters of the bill said women engaging in prostitution are disproportionately targeted with criminal charges, even in cases where the infection is not transmitted.

Now this gets worse, since child prostitution is legal. Those children will be used and abused--and transmit diseases, too, without worry of any jail time.

Republican lawmakers including Sen. Joel Anderson of Alpine voted against the bill, arguing it puts the public at risk.

“I’m of the mind that if you purposefully inflict another with a disease that alters their lifestyle the rest of their life, puts them on a regimen of medications to maintain any kind of normalcy, it should be a felony,” Anderson said during the floor debate. “It’s absolutely crazy to me that we should go light on this.”

YES INDEED! Joel Anderson is AWESOME!

Anderson said the answer could be to extend tougher penalties to those who expose others to other infectious diseases.

Exactly!

CA State Senator Condemns SB 54, Now Signed Into Law

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE                         Contact: John Seiler: 714-662-6050 Thursday, October 5, 2017                             john.seiler@sen.ca.gov California Sen. John Moorlach on Gov. Jerry Brown signing Senate Bill 54: Secession seems to be in the air. On Sunday, 90 percent of Catalonia voters chose to secede from Spain. Last June, California Attorney General Xavier Becerra authorized signature gathering to put a California Secession initiative on the Nov. 2018 ballot. So it’s not surprising that today Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law Senate Bill 54, which effectively declares California has seceded from the United States on major parts of immigration-law enforcement. In a statement, the governor explained his signature, “This bill states that local authorities will not ask about immigration status during routine interactions. It also bans unconstitutional detainer requests and prohibits the commandeering of local officials to do the work of immigration agents,” meaning federal officers of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. He did claim the bill “does not prevent or prohibit” ICE or “the Department of Homeland Security from doing their own work in any way. They are free to use their own considerable resources to enforce federal immigration law in California.” Yet Orange County Sheriff Sandra Hutchens said, “This law is inconsistent with widely accepted best practices of open communication amongst all levels of law enforcement.” Although she did note “not all cooperation is restricted.” I warned about this on the Senate floor back in April when, based on my eight years as an Orange County Supervisor, I noted, “I come out of Countyland, and we have assistance agreements. Our police departments in Orange County – we have 34 cities – they have mutual aid agreements. They work together. They respect their city borders, but they work together to apprehend the bad guys. So to unilaterally discontinue such a longstanding reciprocal understanding with the federal government, is disturbing. It’s disturbing to our constituents. So no wonder the California State Sheriffs Association is opposed. “Why do we want to engage the federal government in yet another funding battle. California has a very precarious budget. It has major unfunded liabilities. It has major retiree medical expenses. It has severe infrastructure concerns. We just don’t need to jeopardize a funding source from the federal government for a state that is really having some fiscal concerns and is going to be asking our residents to step up to the bar for another tax increase.” It’s also worth remembering that Article 3, Section 1 of the California Constitution stipulates, “The State of California is an inseparable part of the United States of America, and the United States Constitution is the supreme law of the land.” SB 54 is another example of showmanship by the majority party. Let’s hope they learn the art of leadership soon. If you would like to request an interview with Senator John Moorlach, please contact John Seiler at john.seiler@sen.ca.gov or 714-662-6050.

Breaking: Treasonous Governor Signs California Sanctuary State Bill

Governor Jerry Brown has decided to violate his oath of office and has signed off on the California Values Act, aka The Sanctuary State Bill SB 54.

This disastrous move should come as no surprise, however, since Brown pressured the bill's main author Kevin De Leon to enact key changes to the legislation. The amendments to the bill outlined a long list of key felonies which would still be reported to ICE following the arrest, incarceration, and release of criminal illegal aliens in California jails.

Still ...

The state of California has thrown up an attempted "Welcome" sign to every migrant in the world, that they can break into the United States, specifically the state of California, commit a long list of low-level crimes, and not worry about deportation.

Unbelievable.

How many more Americans will have to die before hard-line liberals and centrist voters realize that illegal immigration is not a victimless crime? How many more American citizens have to be forced out of work or live in communities where the quality of life diminishes drastically because of illegal immigration?

For years, the media covered up the fatal damage caused by illegal immigration on black communities. Radio host Terry Anderson reported as much as he could, and even testified before Congress twice to raise alarms about illegal immigration in California:

This is the reality in black neighborhoods in Los Angeles.

Listen to this sobering account from a mother who lost her son, murdered by an illegal alien:

Check out what this mother has faced, what her children have faced because they are white:

Instead of caring about California residents, citizens, taxpayers, Governor Brown wants to play politics and endanger American lives.

He has signed SB 54:

In a sharp rebuke to President Trump’s expanded deportation orders, Gov. Jerry Brown signed landmark “sanctuary state” legislation Thursday, vastly limiting who state and local law enforcement agencies can hold, question and transfer at the request of federal immigration authorities.

This is beyond shameful, but at the same time considerably misleading. The latest iteration of SB 54 allowed a long list of felonious illegal aliens to be released to ICE. Still, though, it's very easy for felonies to be turned into misdemeanors, which in turn means that those illegal aliens will be back on California streets.

It is really sad to see the Democratic legislature turn into such an abject, partisan hate machine directing all of its energies against the White House. Shouldn't they be focusing on doing what is best for California citizens? 

This Trump Derangement Syndrome has severe consequences. This is not just a game of political points and potshots. Lives are at stake, and the Governor simply does not care.

Senate Bill 54, which takes effect in January, has been hailed as part of a broader effort by majority Democrats in the California Legislature to shield more than 2.3 million immigrants living illegally in the state. Weeks before Brown’s signature made it law, it was met with swift denunciations from Trump administration officials and became the focus of a national debate over how far states and cities can go to prevent their officers from enforcing federal immigration laws.

Californians have until January 1 to file lawsuits to stop this legislative insanity. The 2.3 million illegal aliens should not be in the country, and now out of that subset population, perhaps as much as one fifth will continue to commit crimes and terrorize communities. Crime hurts everyone, regardless of ethnic background. This is wrong, all wrong.

Brown took the unusual step of penning a signing message in support of SB 54. He called the legislation a balanced measure that would allow police and sheriff’s agencies to continue targeting dangerous criminals, while protecting hardworking families without legal residency in the country.

Dangerous criminals? We should be focusing on Governor Jerry Brown and his Democratic ilk, not just the illegal aliens whom Brown and Democrats across the country are agitating to remain in the United States.

Governor Brown's signature is a crime in itself. Parents who have lost their children to illegal aliens have called for Brown to be arrested. I think it's time to take down the entire government of California with recalls and legislative, executive appeals to Washington DC.

This is wrong, and we cannot allow it!

To be sadly, frank, Brown's decision to sign is devastating, but not unexpected.

This is outrageous, but ultimately a desperate measure.

Californians have been pushed to the brink, and the legislation had to be considerably watered down for passage and signature.

California is headed for some rough times from the feds, no doubt. Jeff Sessions has already begun cutting funding to sanctuary jurisdictions. Operation Safe City serves as a reminder that ICE can go wherever they please in any jurisdiction in the United States, regardless of sanctuary city status.

We Americans, we California citizens, have a lot of work to do. We need to start filing lawsuits and to put all elected officials on notice for this erosion of the public trust and this undermining of our nation's sovereignty.

The vast majority of Californians are in vocal opposition to sanctuary cities, and to turn the entire state into a sanctuary for illegal aliens will not doubt awaken uprisings. The fight for the rule of law is far from over. Already county sheriffs have signaled their opposition to this unconstitutional measure, and they will comply with federal law, as required by the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution.

Letter to the Editor: Get Rid of Governor Brown!

Hi Arthur, 

I was wondering why (you) Citizens in California cannot start , or is it started a petition to Remove That POS governor you have ?  Many years back some of my family that were living ( born and raised) there signed petition to remove governor, that's how Arnold got into office. 

I strongly believe someone like you, if not you consider running for Governor? Must find someone to replace that POS governor. ASAP. 

Last week I met two different families that moved here. One moved from CA saying he had to get his family out of there, Governor is crazy. The other family moved from Florida to be closer to ( husband's ) mom who lives in CA . I responded why not CA instead a state away?  Family said , mom said don't come here, it's gotten really bad . They are now in process of moving  her here. It's tough when you own a home and it's where you have lived for decades to just pick up and move. I remember watching one of your videos where a board member, politician maybe he was , said if you don't like the changes move to a Red state, well it's not easy for people, especially older folks to pick up and leave because corrupt politicians want and are changing their state, in this case California into hell. 

I appreciate the ones that stay and fight for California . We love California. It has so much beauty. Its truly an amazing State. 

I believe God is preparing you, Arthur for something BIG!!! Maybe governor, yeah maybe? 
Thank you to all, that fight the corruption in California. 

God bless you all,

Your friends in NV
