AG Becerra Tries to Stop Gas Tax Repeal--AGAIN!

Lawsuit Update: Attorney General Appeals Court Decision After judge decides to write an "honest and impartial" title and summary for the Repeal of the Gas Tax ballot initiative – Attorney General decides to appeal his ruling   SACRAMENTO – Today, Assemblyman Travis Allen announced that Attorney General Xavier Becerra decided to appeal the decision of the Sacramento Superior Court to rewrite his misleading title and summary for the Repeal the Gas Tax Initiative. “It’s clear that the Attorney General believes he is above the law and unbeholden to the California people, the courts, and the Constitution,” said Assemblyman Travis Allen. “His deceptive and arrogant behavior shows that his allegiance is to one person only - his appointer, Jerry Brown. Rather than upholding his Constitutional duty to the citizens of California to write a true and impartial summary for the Repeal of the Gas Tax, Becerra is now fighting with taxpayer dollars to ensure that special interests receive their $52 billion payday.” The Attorney General’s initial title and summary for the Repeal of the Gas Tax initiative was found to be so biased by California’s Superior Court that the judge relieved the AG of his duties. In order to ensure that the voters received an honest understanding of the initiative, Judge Timothy Frawley wrote a fair and balanced title and summary himself. The Attorney General is now appealing the Superior Court’s decision to the 3rd Appellate District Court of Appeal. “Just as we won in California Superior Court we will also win in Appellate Court. The people of California deserve the right to vote on whether or not they want a tax increase, and they deserve an impartial ballot title and summary that explains exactly what the Repeal of the Gas Tax will do - repeal California’s largest ever gas and vehicle registration fee increase.” Enterprise Counsel Group ALC (ECG) is representing Assemblyman Allen.

CA State Attorney General Xavier Becerra & Majoirty CA Assembly Leader Ian Calderon Assemblyman Calderon Hosted An Evening With Attorney General Xavier Becerra SHOUTED DOWN BY FED-UP CALIFORNIANS  - THE MEETING ENDED EARLY 10/5/17 Whittier College, Whittier, CA https://www.whittier.edu/ Report by Robin Hvidston MEETING ENDS EARLY! VIDEO: CA State Assembly Majority Leader Ian Calderon hosted Attorney General Xavier Becerra to facilitate a "conversation" with the attorney general at Whittier College. However, citizens OPPOSED to these 2 HIGHLY CORRUPT Sacramento players, shouted out remarks as the "conversation" unfolded. Before the event, attendees were invited to fill out questions on cards. The "question basket" was filled with cards that presented negative questions as it seemed as if only those opposing the attorney general submitted question cards. The meeting became so raucous that it ended about a half hour early. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-dtzRoxb88 Governor Brown appointed Attorney General Xavier Becerra to fight the Trump administration after former Attorney General Kamala Harris won her bid for US Senate. Above photo, Trump Supporters attended the event and expressed their opposition during the event. Above photo, Assemblyman Ian Calderon posted on his Facebook page. This is a photo from Assemblyman Calderon's Facebook from backstage, with text added. The basket of questions, above photo, was filled with cards submitted by those attendees OPPOSING the attorney general. Probably one reason the meeting ended early was because every time a question card was pulled from the basket, it was a question against the Sanctuary State Bill, DACA, and against illegals. Fed up citizens hollered out during the "conversation" with Attorney General Becerra. ATTORNEY GENERAL XAVIER BECERRA   IS SUING  the TRUMP Administration BECAUSE OBAMA'S DACA PROGRAM has been TERMINATED! “President Trump has turned his back on hundreds of thousands of children and young Americans who came forward and put their trust in our government. But in terminating DACA, the Trump Administration has also violated the Constitution and federal law,” said Attorney General Becerra. f“Ending the program is devastating not just for recipients, but for our economy. California businesses would lose more than a billion dollars in turnover costs. Attorney General Sessions claims this decision is full of ‘compassion,’ but real compassion would be treating Dreamers ‘with heart,’ as President Trump himself said. California is taking action because one in four DACA grantees live in our great state. I will do everything I can to fight for them.” LOOK AT ASSEMBLYMAN IAN CALDERON'S FACEBOOK POST ABOUT THE ROWDY EVENING - HE PRETENDS LIKE THE RAUCOUS ATMOSPHERE DIDN'T HAPPEN! Assembly Majority Leader Ian Calderon  October 6 at 11:55am · Thank you to all those who attended last night’s event featuring Attorney General Becerra.

Voter Fraud is Real in California -- Where is the Attorney General on this Matter?

The state of California received more votes than there were voters on the registration rolls.

In fact, the entire voter turnout exceeded the population of the counties!

There is just one word for this perverse disparity: voter fraud!

Trump is right about wiretapping & also about voter fraud.

11 counties in California have... by #glenitsmetrish pic.twitter.com/JSEVcCSDiu

— TWN.NEWS 🇺🇸 (@trumpworldnews) September 19, 2017

And yet ...

Where is Attorney General Xavier Becerra to confront this monstrous abuse of jurisprudence and democratic governance?

Why hasn't he initiated comprehensive investigations into this rampant fraud?

The US Attorney General Jeff Sessions wants to stamp out voter fraud.

President Trump has set up a voting rights commission to stop voter fraud.

Why won't the California Secretary of State and Attorney General comply?

The Conservative Resistance Behind the Iron Blue Curtain of Commie-Fornia

I am a refugee, but in my own country, one of the most totalitarian states in the United States: the People’s Republic of California, or Mexifornia, Kommie-fornia, Crap-i-fornia (comment below with your own nicknames!).

For the members of my family, California has this name: “Not my home anymore.”

The Los Angeles Pravda (or “Times” to those who consider that left-leaning rag worth reading) wrote a timely article about Trump supporters living behind “The Blue Curtain”. Like the ante-bellum Southern free-soilers during the American Civil War, every day I recognize that I live in hostile territory. Intent on setting more people free, those who claim to be my representatives have sinister designs to break away from the rest of the United States.

Southern states passed numerous laws suppressing freedom of speech, just as Washington DC lawmakers had passed a gag order against discussing slavery. The state legislature wants to criminalize sharing “false” information on the Internet. A candidate for Congress actually submitted a bill that would require teachers to inform students about how to identify fake news. Hint: just above every newspaper still in print.

And that’s, of course, if there will still be any worthwhile teachers left in California’s corrupt, incompetent government, union-dominated schools. The teacher shortage in California is unprecedented. College is way to expense, the debt of another year of higher educating on top of a four-year degree is paralyzing. And the pay sucks for all that teachers have to tolerate.  Oh, and now the same school districts are actually cutting staff! Montebello, California was already forcing history and government teachers to educate students from textbooks which listed Barack Obama as a US Senator. Now they are cutting teachers because of a lack of funding, and this after floating a multi-million dollar bond.

Roads are falling apart, the freeways are crammed. It takes an hour just to drive out of Down Los Angeles or San Francisco on account of the jams turning highways into slowing-moving parking lots. California is going broke, and fast. Even Banana Republic Governor Brown has pled for fiscal restraint. Incredible but true. How is it possible for the eighth-largest economy in the world to be going bust so fast? Cigarette taxes jumped two dollars. Over the weekend, and the nanny state I live in just raised the smoking age to 21. The law forbids people under 21 from purchasing cigarettes (they can still smoke them.

The rule of law has become the rule of men. The city I live in, Torrance, still advertises itself as “The Balanced City” in a state of constant, embraced imbalanced. The political class is too busy bringing in more voters (illegal aliens, public sector union hacks, and welfare queens), and they cost lots of money. At the end of the day, the ruling Democratic class governs for its own benefit, at the expense of everyone else. Voter fraud is rampant and growing. Entire cities, especially in Los Angeles County, have turned into third-world hellholes, resembling the dilapidated corners of Tijuana.

This is insanity. And a Congresswoman in that region, Norma Torres of Ontario, also entered this country illegally, now lives in Washington pandering for illegals while shutting down dissent. And our newest chief law enforcement officer is a lawless shill dedicated to the proposition that President Donald Trump is evil, and that California lawmakers and law enforcement officers do not have to comply with federal law, specifically on immigration.

Nope.  Finally, US Attorney General Jeff Sessions has thrown the hammer down. California sanctuary cities have gotten the warning: comply with our laws and cooperate with immigration law enforcement, or lose federal funding. A friend of mine in Pasadena wants the TSA staffers gone, along with every other federal outfit curtailed until California gets with the program, or goes bust.

California has not titled into Full North Korea yet.

Trump supporters around the state (remember, there were 4.5 million of us on Election Day) have gone Howard Beale over this mess. Instead of just shouting out of our windows, we are hitting the streets: We’re as mad as hell, and we’re not going to take it anymore!

And the national media is paying attention. In case you missed it, Trump supporters shut down a campaign stop/town hall hosted by newly-appointed, lawless Attorney General Xavier Becerra. It was awesome. The outrage from the audience could not be contained. One Assemblywoman actually admitted to the audience that she had entered the country as an illegal alien. Now she represents Northwestern Los Angeles County?

Perhaps General Mattis will march from San Bernardino to the Sea, and engage in total war against every liberal establishment. He should take a detour through the Central Valley and tie up whatever infrastructure was laid down for the Bullet Train to Nowhere.

My two teams, Los Angeles for Trump and We the People Rising, have taken on the challenge. We are the true Rebel Alliance, refusing to sit back and let our state go to hell in a hand-basket of Democratic, demon-possessed deplorables.

We pressure city councils insanely driven to the sanctuary city train, convinced that they can outpace the law. We have stepped up the fight in deep blue regions like Culver City, as well as rallies in Downtown Los Angeles, where the opposition didn’t bother to show up.

And now the People’s Republic of Santa Monica. This little beachside enclave, a lesser-known, tinier version of San Francisco.

Just this past weekend, along the world famous 3^rd Street Promenade, Trump supporters set up two microphones and challenged anyone to a debate. Some were civil, others were evil (police had to arrest/detain two miscreants who stole a hat and attacked one of our team), but we stood our ground. One crazed woman shouted “You have no right to be here.”

But we aren’t going anywhere. This is our state, our home, our land.

And it’s worth fighting for. While Trump builds a protective wall along our southern border, we are determined to tear down the Iron Blue Curtain.

State Senator Connie Leyva: Undocumented Politician

After Attorney General Xavier Becerra fled from the town hall which he and other legislators had sponsored for the last three weeks, I approached the other elected officials who had attended.

State Senator Connie Leyva came down from the Chaffey High School auditorium to speak with members of the audience.

I did not hesitate to confront her on immigration issues:

But Leyva refused to give me direct answers on anything.

Lawmakers love to hide behind the process.

"I can't comment on that bill. It's still in the amendment process."

"I am waiting for constituents to inform me of their views before I make a decision."

"Let me get back to you about that issue ..."

When I asked her to consider a bill "Ruben's Law"-- to issue the death penalty immediately for any illegal  alien who kills an minor.

This was her answer:

"This is not the best time to talk about this. Come to office and we can talk about it better then."

Oh brother.

What can I say? She was definitely an "undocumented politician", refusing to give me a clear yes or no on my concerns.

The worst example of thiis came when I wanted a clear "No" vote on SB 54--the sanctuary state bill:

Her non-answer on this pressing issue was clearly distressing.

The California Police Officer Association opposes this bill.

The Califrna Sheriff's Association opposes this bill.

Both groups will not tolerate amendments of any kind. They want this bill pulled, failed, gone for good.

Senator Leyva is clearly aware that law enforcement does not want this legislation.

Then what is stopping her from opposing SB 54, too?!

This kind of non-chalance, non-compliance, non-response behavior from our elected officials is completely without meri.

Elected officials have a duty to honor, uphold, and defend the United States Constitution.

Leyva gave plenty of non-answers that day

They take an oath to defend our rights, to protect us from enemies both foreign and domestic.

Yet Leyva couldn't give me an answer--Yes or No--about SB 54?

Outrageous!

Contact Senator Leyva's office, and demand that she enforce our immigration laws.

Tell her to vote NO! on SB 54:

The Becerra Town Hall: More Than Shut Down or Disruption--A WIN for We the People

The Xavier Becerra Town Hall was a victory for We the People.

The press want to make it seem like the Trump supporters and pro-enforcement advocates were just a bunch of crazed, uncouth hoodlums. That moniker actually belongs to the California Democratic Party and their perverse acolytes who have taken over every aspect for government in the state of California.

We the People are mad as hell, and we are not going to take it anymore in our beloved Golden State, no matter how tarnished it may be.

What are we angry about?

Our infrastructure is falling apart right from under us.

The government in Sacramento is taxing us into homelessness and spending us into bankruptcy.

Illegal aliens, law breakers, criminals, cheats, and welfare queens are treated with respect, while veterans, working men and women, homeowners and taxpayers are treated like trash.

Have you had enough?

We the People Rising, Los Angeles for Trump, and everyone else who cares about God and Country have had our fill.

The Tea Party movement has not died. It's gained muscle, and is more than a cerebral exercise.

Now, back to  AG Becerra.

Why did he decide to host a town hall?

The newly-appointed California Attorney General Xavier Becerra wanted to make a rare and unprecedented visit to Ontario, CA.

Why?

1. Campaign stop.

He is heading in 2018 with the wind at the back of the California Republican Party (hopefully). The turnout will be lower. He has to show that he can campaign.

After all, he represented Downtown Los Angeles for two decades with token opposition. His competitor candidates were more knowledgeable and respectful, but Becerra won every time, all because he had a D after his name on the ballot.

Now he has to compete for statewide office, and even the most entrenched and entitled of incumbents can get a little jittery.

2. He wanted to add more (illegal) voters.

Check out all the handouts available to the guests, i.e. illegal aliens:

Since illegal aliens have so many benefits shoved in their faces, maybe California's law-abiding citizenry should all renounce their citizenship and cash in?

That;s what I asked some of the attended in the audience:

Who's with me?!

But we all agreed on one thing:

We were ready to protest outside, before the event even began.

First, we had to correct some of the welcome signs:

Here are the starting  moments of our arrival:

FIRE BECERRA!

The rest of the team showed up soon after that:

A reporter from the Latino versio of PBS showed up. I provided him a lengthy statement, from the moral to the economic evils that result from illegal immigration.

There were definitely more of us than there were of the abusive, crazy illegal alien panderers:

As expected, very creepy, misguided, and outright lying radicals showed up, spouting their Brown Pride hate.

But we schooled him!

Here are the questions I wanted to ask, but never got to ask:

It was good to see Darrel and Betty Robinson again, since they have been doing so much in other counties, while I have been very busy primarily in LA County:

and

At last, we could file into the hall.

One of the staffers from San Bernardino County Board Supervisor Curt Hagman was there. A constituent tried to get answers about how long it would take for President Trump to get the illegal aliens out of the state of California.

Great question!

Of course, there were crazy Becerra supporters, too, but they could not tell me why they like this corrupt, lawless attorney general:

This young lady shared some really disturbing values, like comparing a human life to a chicken!

Yes, she did:

The rest of us were very clear about our intentions at that town hall:

The meeting was supposed to start at 5:40.

It did not get rolling until 6:15.

We were forced to wait for 45 minutes?!

No apology, no explanation. Nothing.

Nice job, Xavier.

He actually lectured us about civility and respect, yet he announces to the entire world that foreigners can break into our country, cross our borders, and take our money--and feel entitled to do so!

He only answers two questions--TWO!

But when Becerra ran off, all hell broke loose!

Here is the key recording I took after Becerra:

Robin and I wanted to follow Becerra out. Don't we deserve to have our questions answered?

Lo and behold, staffers prevented us from entering the hallway.

I saw some other unseemly people in the doorway, including sellout Joseph Lopez of WestCal Academy, the illegal alien front group run by John Paul Tabakian. He was terrified when confronted with the pro-enforcement team that descended on Becerra's town hall.

Joseph Lopez with creepy, corrupt Ricardo Lara

Then a pro-Bernie activist, who may or may not done unseemly things with his own parents, tried to malign and shame us into silence. We put down his hatred.

Last of all, Alejandro Cano of the Fontana Herald stood idly by, and I called him out as vocally as I could. It's time that these corrupt amnesty panderers were exposed and put to open display.

If you are fed up with the lies, call them out with the truth. If you are fed up with your government not honoring their commitments and keeping their oath to the Constitution, then FIRE THEM!

Here's the creepy Bernie activist who knows (and hangs out with) pedophiles:

At least State Senator Connie Levya stayed around to field--or rather duck--questions:

and also

She seemed dazed and confused:

Freddie Rodriguez gave the exact same non-answers.

But before uber-leftist Eloise Reyes spirited him away.

I will end this post with these sage words from The Declaration of Independence:

Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

California (and America)--Wake Up: No Sanctuary States!

The rule of law should be a no-brainer: cities are for citizens. The very concept of “politics” is based on the word “polis”, and that means “citizen”. “We the People” in the U.S. Constitution refers to citizens, men and women who recognize their rights, which come from God.

What’s one way to take power away from “We the People”? Erode the meaning and privilege of citizenship. And that’s what California’s Democratic Party is doing.  Just when I thought that the Democrats in California (and apparently Colorado, too) had already gone too far, now they add another layer to the rampant perversity.

Kevin De Leon, anchor baby turned State Senate President (whose family members are illegals, relying on fraudulent documents to “survive”) is going to steal every resource from California taxpayers to fund his illegal alien paradise. Who says illegals are discriminated against? They are running the government of California … into the ground! Two pieces of legislation are on the horizon. If you’re not careful, they could be coming to a state near you.

Senate Bill 6 will transfer tax dollars to provide legal counsel to illegal aliens facing contentious court hearings as they await deportation. Check this out: we have spiking crime rates throughout the state of California. Even in my nice and calm South Bay home, property crimes are rising, especially property crime. Sandra Duran was just killed in a hit and run in the North Hills section of Los Angeles by an illegal alien.

Illegal immigration is not a victimless crime, and a sanctuary state will not guarantee safety for anyone.  Except, of course, the politicians who want to score points with La Raza, LULAC, and other Hispandering special interest groups who will keep their Brown Power puppets in power for as long as possible. This is the essence of corruption: a set of laws for one group of people, and a set of laws for everyone else. This is beyond shameful. This is beyond intolerable.

And once again, immigration remains an untouchable third rail in California. Deal with it, Republicans and Democrats alike. Stand up for the rule of law, dammit! Governor Pete Wilson was right to champion Prop 187 in 1994. I wish he had continued to champion that initiative. Even then, California was not a Lily Wasp-like state. That means men and women of every color are all Americans and they just want what’s best for their kids and their future.

Guess what? 70% of Californians oppose sanctuary cities, and that includes 60% of Democrats! Even the registered Democratic voters—in California, mind you—are waking up to how their own party is leaving them behind.

One would think that the growing list of dead Californians would finally wake up the voters to the dangers implicit in sanctuary cities. One life killed by an illegal alien is one too many, but here are 8 lives lost forever:

1.     Kate Steinle

2.     Drew Rosenberg

3.     Ruben Morfin

4.     Jamiel Shaw Jr.

5.     Dominic Durden

6.     Marilyn Pharis

7.     Tierra Stansberry

8.     DeAndre Mitchell

California was a not a sanctuary for these individuals.

Statistics have outlined that at least 25 people a DAY are killed by illegal aliens in this country.

California Democrats want to turn the Golden State into a Sanctuary state? How about deporting illegal aliens and putting Americans first? Here’s another great idea: let law enforcement enforce our laws.

Yes, I know this bid for sanity is a bit complicated for liberals, but the basic tenet of any government is this: protect our rights. And the California Democratic supermajority is not on board with even this, but rather protecting the privileges of a well-connected minority of elitists and La Raza activists.

There is hope, however. The Democrats cannot lose one vote in the state senate to maintain their very slim supermajority. Three years ago, four state senators were arrested, convicted, and/or sentenced for various felonies (voter fraud, gun-running, whatever). Some current Democrat members are feeling the heat like they never have before. I already visited my state assemblyman (a Democrat who had voted against the misguided California (Mis)Trust Act of 2013).

But bigger guns, literally and figuratively, have raised their voices against SB 54’s collective immorality. In spite of a long list of proponents for this awful bill, two key organizations have not compromised, but are fully opposed:

•        California Peace Officers’ Association
•        California State Sheriffs’ Association

The opposition from these two groups was enough to stave off emergency passage.

Four Southern California county sheriffs oppose SB 54, including the somewhat squishy Jim McDonnell of Los Angeles. Why do I target the former police chief of Long Beach? Yes, he’s my sheriff. More importantly, though, not even two months ago, he was on record supporting the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors’ decision to provide legal aid to the county’s illegal alien population, and McDonnell affirmed he had no intention in going after illegals living in LA solely because of their immigration status.

But now he opposes the entire state taking on LA County’s proposals. What gives? In his view, preventing communication of any kind between ICE officials and state law enforcement would lead to ICE officials sweeping through neighborhoods and arrest more illegals, not just the violent ones in LA County jails.

Anti-McDonnell Hate
from La Raza Haters

Unbelievable! I would like to believe that McDonnell really does care about enforcing our immigration laws, and simply does not want the rising spike of various crimes against Angelenos. Unlike LAPD Chief of Police Charlie Beck (who stands with the illegals, rather than the legal residents) McDonnell is elected by the people in the county.  More deaths like Sandra Duran’s might have cut his re-election chances in half.

No American should allow this. Sanctuary cities are dangerous, racist, and outright wrong. I have written before that California was already a “sanctuary state”. SB 54 will make that designation seriously official, cutting off all communication between state and federal law enforcement regarding illegal aliens in California.
