I think that many of the business owners will not state plainly that the California Democratic Party leaders in Sacramento and Downtown Los Angeles are responsible, for fear of political retaliation.

“Pride Month” continues to be an excuse to push the LGBT agenda on people who would rather be left alone.
Medical facilities, even government-supported mental health facilities, have become aggressive in celebrating LGBT “Pride Month.” It’s (purposefully) unavoidable and is particularly stressful for religious Christians. This must be confronted, not ignored.
The Clarvida Wellness Center Central is located in Orange, CA. It provides mental health services for county residents in need. It is funded by Orange County, along with state and federal funding. The Clarvida company is a nationwide local government contractor that provides therapy, training, counseling, and other services to people dealing with trauma, behavioral challenges, and a variety of other mental health issues.
During the second week of June, two patients at Clarvida Wellness Center Central reached out to MassResistance for help. They complained about the overt LGBT “Pride Month” propaganda in the facility, and they wanted to stop it. As Christians, they felt bullied and discriminated against.
They said that “Pride” is being pushed throughout the building. “It is making our life hell by turning innocuous activities like jewelry-making class into ‘make pride-themed jewelry.’ And it's not optional,” they said. “The Wellness Center has also turned a weekly Art Class into making ‘pride’ centric projects.”
“Several of us are very upset by this because we are Christians. It’s such a hostile environment that even some atheists and agnostics have complained, asking why everything has to be hyper focused on pride activities and sexuality, ” they added. “The Wellness Center does not support or celebrate drunkenness, drug abuse or any other unhealthy destructive lifestyle – except sodomy and transgenderism.” Moreover, they said, the Center celebrates a month of “Pride” but does not observe Easter or Christmas.
They said they are not allowed to wear "Reclaim the Rainbow" T-shirts because that is considered “hateful.” MAGA clothing is also prohibited. “But if we dare refer to someone by a wrong pronoun, we can get evicted.”
“The program and treatment are voluntary, so they told us that if we feel uncomfortable we are free to leave. That’s their attitude. We are afraid to complain too much because the staff is so militant about promoting this abomination – and normally the rest of the year it is not this bad.”
Additionally, they told us, “Many of the patients at this Wellness Center have severe conditions to where they can't obtain a driver's license or open a bank account because they are at a level like mild or moderate mental retardation. What the Wellness Center is doing is basically grooming the disabled.”
Ironically, Orange County is one of the more conservative areas of California. In June 2023, the Orange County Board of Supervisors voted to ban the Pride flag from flying on county properties. Only the U.S., California, Orange County, and POW/MIA flags are allowed.
One of the patients approached a staffer (and videoed part of the conversation with his permission) and asked him why there are LGBT flyers, but Christian material is not allowed.
The staffer compared Christianity to a political issue, and said that if the Center allows that material, it's as if they’re promoting it. His antagonism against Christianity was not hidden: When the patient said that the Bible considers homosexuality an abomination, the staffer said that the Bible created a culture hostile to women and endorsed slavery.
The staffer said that the Center is not promoting the gay agenda. “It's an LGBTA+ support group. That group is allowed to exist, and their flyers are allowed to exist,” he said. “You don’t have to come here.” That is the kind of “reasoning” that the patients have to put up with.
What’s happening to patients at the Orange County facility is clearly being done across the country. Clarvida’s national website has a page devoted to “Pride Month” that reveals how radical this company is.
Its suggested “daily activities” for a week of “Pride” include two days of “Stonewall” articles and videos, donating to the poisonous “Trevor Project” (which counsels teenagers to be transgender or “gay”), updating one’s email signatures to include “pronouns,” and participating in LGBT activism by working with the toxic “Human Rights Campaign.”
A big “Pride” event at the Wellness Center was set for June 20. It was widely promoted.
As the date approached, it was very upsetting to the Christian patients. They decided that they should be allowed to give their point of view at this event – and not be in danger of eviction from the facility.
One of the Christian patients contacted a law firm in Los Angeles. The lawyers agreed that because the Center receives federal funding, it has an obligation to allow both sides to be presented.
The firm drafted a strongly worded letter to the Wellness Center demanding that the Christian patient be allowed to present her viewpoint at the Pride event:
[The patient] demands that you immediately and fully allow her to present counter-points or her opposition to the event being celebrated. She further demands that Clarvida Wellness Center allow her to read from the Judeo-Christian Bible at your event that is taking place and distribute literature from a Christian perspective and articulate her deeply held beliefs about gender and sexuality.
The letter was mailed (via USPS) and also emailed to the director of the Wellness Center. But neither the patient nor the law firm ever received acknowledgement that it was received, or that she would be allowed to speak at the event. It was very disturbing.
The patient decided to show up at the event anyway with a prepared speech. She asked Arthur Schaper, the MassResistance National Field Director (who lives nearby) to accompany her as a guest, for support.
On the morning of June 20th, as Arthur approached the Wellness Center entrance, the Center’s program director and manager both came outside and stopped him from entering.
The program director bluntly said, “You are not welcome here.” Arthur said he was a guest of one of the patients. The reply was, “We’ll talk to her about this when she gets here.”
Arthur asked him why they were violating the county rule about flying pride flags. He said that it only applied outside a building, not inside.
The manager said they are a private company and don’t have to answer to Arthur. He accused Arthur of having an agenda “to be disruptive at our event,” which Arthur strongly denied.
Arthur asked the manager if he’s seen the letter from the attorneys demanding that the patient be allowed to present an opposing opinion. He said, “I have no comment on that.” The manager said that the patient may come to the event but must be “respectful” and “not disruptive” or “in any way offensive” to the event or staff, or she will be forced to leave.
Arthur asked the manager why they were promoting destructive behaviors like homosexuality and transgenderism in a wellness center. Not surprisingly, he refused to answer that.
Then they walked back into the Center. Arthur waited outside, but the patient never showed up. She later told Arthur that she had decided there was no point to attending, because the Center’s refusal to answer or acknowledge the law firm’s letter indicated they would not allow her to give a different point of view at the pride event.
This abuse (on many levels) of mental health patients, funded by tax dollars, must be stopped. The government entities that are allowing this need hard pressure from good people!
We’ve heard that it’s likely that the patient’s law firm will pursue this as a violation of federal law and a blatant case of discrimination, and may be taking this (to start with) before the Orange County Board of Supervisors, the principal funder. We’ll see what happens.
Please help us continue to do our uncompromising work!
Our successes depend on people like you.
Your support will make the difference!
The news has been spreading throughout the city that Councilwoman Sharon Kalani's perverse attempt to push "Pride Month" in the city of Torrance failed this year.
The usual left-wing and progressive agitators are complaining online, but other Torrance community groups on Facebook are generally pleased.
I didn't have the chance over the last year to sound off another deep concern regarding the whole "Pride Month" push.
Last year, when the city council narrowly adopted the troublesome, unwanted resolution, Jean Adelsman targeted Councilman Mattucci (once again) over his outspoken outrage about the resolution.
Here are his full remarks from the May 7, 2024, Torrance City Council meeting on the "pride" resolution:
Here are Adelsman's first statements on Mattucci's "rant":
· Mattucci and Sheikh were the evening’s disappointments. Several people called Mattucci’s comments a disgrace – Susan Niemeyer referred to it as a rant in her FaceBook post on the meeting.
Who is Susan Niemeyer?
When Chen called on Kalani immediately after Mattucci unleashed his wrath, she was clearly shaken and said, “What can you say after that?”
More people should be as upset as Mattucci was. More on that later. If Councilwoman was Kalani was "clearly shaken" by some strong statements from one of her colleagues, then she is not mayor material.
In the next newsletter, she obsessed over Mattucci's comments further:A number of readers expressed concern over the subject of Mattucci’s recent rant. If you missed that newsletter, go to www.TakeBackTorrance.com and look at Newsletter No. 50.
He was focused on a survey that he said had asked his 10-year-old son questions of a sexual nature. I didn’t originally raise it because, as District 4’s Sharon Kalani pointed out, Torrance Unified School District has jurisdiction here and the City Council has no role. In other words, Mattucci’s comments were inappropriate.
Every adult should be outraged--not just concerned--about school districts giving students sexually explicit or charged surveys. EVERYONE!
As it turns out, he also misspoke. After being prodded by readers, I researched the issue, and thanks to my TUSD source who steered me to the information I was looking for.
Mattucci was referring to the California Healthy Kids Survey, which is a project of the California Department of Education. The survey’s goal: “Helping schools and communities build positive environments for student success.”
How does asking children if they are non-binary or gay contribute to a positive school environment? Why are adults so determined to push these awful themes on children? Why is pushing destructive behaviors on children "Acceptable"?
Its website adds, “At the heart of the CHKS is a research-based core module that provides valid indicators to promote student engagement and achievement, safety, positive development, health, and overall well-being.” The site also said it is “the largest statewide student survey of resiliency, protective factors, risk behaviors, and school climate in the nation.”
Notice how she did not list the specific, invasive questions that the survey poses to California students. I wonder why she left that out?
Most of California’s school districts participate, and the information is also used by a variety of non-academic agencies. For example, the Volunteer Center, whose board I serve on, uses information from it to improve its youth programs, in particular the Impact Makers (more on that later). As does the Beach Cities Health District’s Allcove program for teens.
Mattucci repeatedly said his 10-year-old son received the questionnaire. The problem: TUSD administers the survey to sixth-graders, which rarely includes a 10-year-old. So, his son was not 10 when he took the survey.
If you would
like to learn more about the survey, go to https://www.cde.ca.gov/ls/he/at/cefchks.asp.
Notice how Jean Adelsman, and LGBT propagandists in general, do not care about the well-being of children. Notice how they don't take notice, or even break a sweat, over the contents of these abusive materials being pushed on children.
The only thing that Jean cared about was that Aurelio supposedly got his dates mixed up when he mentioned the survey. Earlier this month, he corrected the record yet again and said that indeed, his son did receive the survey according to the times he had mentioned last year. He made no mistake.
Why are liberals so deteremined to push LGBT on kids?
Why are progressives so adamant about celebrating sexual degeneracy as a civil right?
Why do some of these Torrance residents think that the "Balanced City" should start picking identity groups to promote against everyoe else? Why do they want to turn Torrance into West Hollywood of San Francisco?
Torrance resident Patsy Okada has filed a complaint with the FPPC in connection with Jean Adelsman's recall effort against Torrance City Councilman and City Treasurer candidate Aurelio Mattucci.
This is a significant development, since the FPPC receives between 1,000 and 2,000 complaints each year. Patsy's complaint was accepted!
I received the following text message from Patsy, which she had received from Bob Habel, one of the Torrance Parks and Recreation Commissioners, who organized the failed recall effort against Torrance City Councilman Jon Kaji:
Here's the full message, if you cannot read the text in the picture:
Thanks [sic] you. The names will not appear in the Breeze because we are just going to scare him into that we are going to recall him. After we gather the necessary signatures, we turn them into the city clerk, she verifies that they are valid. Then we can pay someone to serve him that he is being recalled.That is where it ends. Names and addresses will not appear in the paper. It's not going to go that far. Once he is served, he will know that District 1 people are not happy with him. There is no lawyer with the Kaji recall. I don't know who Jean is using for the Mattucci recall.
So, the Kaji recall effort was a hoax.
What about the Mattucci recall?
Patsy shared the following with me:
My complaint was 99% from Jean Adelsman’s newsletters. But in the newsletters Jean asked for donations for the recall. FPPC jurisdiction is money involved in an election/recall.
In case anyone has forgotten, Jean Adelsman was one of the key organizers of the Mattucci recall. She asked for donations!
She was the biggest cheerleader, outlining all the reasons why Mattucci "needed" to be recalled.
She did have a considerable role in the recall effort:
A few personal points: I am No. 39 out of the 60. If the
recall succeeds, I will not seek the seat. I ran in 2022 because, at that
moment, no one else was prepared to oppose Mattucci. Some excellent candidates
have already indicated that they would be available to fill the seat in 2024. I
am neither chair nor treasurer. I am serving as the committee’s communications
director.
She frequently promoted the donation links for the recall effort, too.
Was the Mattucci effort just another bluff? If so, why raise money for it? If the circulators had no intention of actually collecting enough signatures to put a recall measure on the ballot, why fundraise?
Pasty shared with me:
I got the financial disclosure for this
recall and I used it as an exhibit. The treasurer of the recall is Evelyn
Smith, and Marilyn Bailey is the state measure proponent. Also, Jean was
interviewed by the Daily Breeze when the recall ended . The reporter asked
her how many signatures were collected, and she wouldn’t answer. I gave that as
an exhibit.
I contacted the City Clerk for more information regarding who initiated the recall, and here's what she shared with me:
The legal publication lists Mary A. Bailey, Mathilde F. Terre, and Marla Shwarts.
YIKES!

Small correction, Arab's didn't consider themselves as Palestinians in 1920, only the Jew's were.

It fact, Arabs use to call Jewish "Palestinian" as an insult.
Obviously not all of them, but the majority did.
