Pro-Life Activists: NO to Kevin Faulconer

 I could not agree more with this sentiment.

Kevin Faulconer is awful. He is not fit to be the next governor of the state of California:

Faulconer is unacceptable
The California ProLife Council and Right to Life Federation (California ProLife) has announced that abortion-promoting candidate Kevin Faulconer is NOT an acceptable candidate for Governor. Faulconer has made his abortion-advocacy well known. With the filing period yet to be announced, and the likelihood of many other candidates joining the race (many with better bona-fides) insider-controllers within the Republican party structure are desperately cajoling others to support Faulconer.

"We find it alarming that the Republican Party would use it's limited resources, at this time, to prematurely support a candidate who stands in open defiance of the party platform, not only on protecting vulnerable children, but on so many of the party's essential planks," said Kim Allen, spokeswoman for California ProLife.

Allen made it clear that progressive consultants do not want to understand the actual polling on the abortion issue. “This is a great disservice to the public, but especially to those who who look to the Republican Party for common sense. Often pro-abortion Republicans make the false claim that abortion will broaden the GOP’s appeal. In fact, such a strategy harms efforts to attract more Democrats and Latino voters while simultaneously alienating the Republican base. And for those actually motivated by abortion advocacy in casting a vote, Democrats will be more genuine and attract those pro-abortion votes.

It doesn't 'win' for Republicans to attack their own party's voters and the party principles. Both the Gallup and Marist polls indicate the majority of Americans, even those who identify as 'pro-choice', actually want to see a dramatic legal limitation of abortion as currently practiced.

California's PPIC polling data (a progressive-leaning firm) reveals a 46-45% plurality of Latino California voters feel states are making abortions too easily accessible, a position shared by 19% of Democrats overall.

Republicans invest Money to elect Democrat Supermajority!?!
"What’s alarming about this push from within the current state Republican party is that this ongoing effort to elect progressive Republicans has directly funded and elected Democrats! Both Assembly members Chad Mayes and Brian Meinschien had been recruited and instructed by the state party consultants. They were expressly guided to take progressive policy positions. The state party then used vast amounts of Republican money in safe Republican districts and the consultants - who like the Lincoln Project, retain large portions of those funds for these 'services' - insisted that other candidates must now follow that model, " said Allen.

But upon election to office, both Mayes, then Assembly Minority Leader, and Meinschien, decided to renounce the Republican Party, openly voting with the Democrat caucus! Electing these progressives was not an accident - it was intentionally done by insiders in the Republican state party machinery.

Unlike other state's Republican parties, California’s Republican Party insiders have expressly decided to simply champion the ideology of Democrats," said Allen. "And they are getting precisely what they seek, their own defeat and implosion of the state party. They are literally campaigning for the platform of the Democrats... and electing legislators FOR the Democrat party.

"More Hispanics voted for Donald Trump than any previous Republican in history. This support was clearly NOT because he promised 'open borders,' which the dishonest media has implied is the desire of Hispanic voters. The basis of Hispanic support was the outspoken Republican's support for their deeply rooted cultural values alone. Kevin Faulkner and progressive Republicans openly disdain those values. SeCNN poll here. 

California's progressive-Republican 'consultant class' does not understand true cultural values, or the deep resentment many informed individuals and minorities feel about the targeting of vulnerable human lives which are the methods the abortion industry promotes and implements. They use government and your tax dollars to do so.Faulconer supports this government-sponsored abortion industry.

PJI Files Suit for Educators Facing Discipline For Offering Solutions on Gender Identity Policies

 


PJI Files Suit for Educators Facing Discipline For Offering Solutions on Gender Identity Policies

PJI attorneys represent Grants Pass teacher, administrator punished for expressing their views on their own online platform

June 8, 2021
Media Contact: Brad Dacus, 916-616-4126

GRANTS PASS, Ore. – Representing two educators with the courage to call for balance in educational policies concerning gender identity, the Pacific Justice Institute (PJI) filed a federal lawsuit on Monday against the Grants Pass School District.

District officials have placed the educators, Rachel Damiano and Katie Medart, on administrative leave for voicing their opinions about local, state, and national policies concerning students’ gender identity on their own online platform.

The educators started a grassroots organization, I Resolve,” to speak out on gender identity education policy and offer solutions aimed at (1) letting teachers continue teaching without violating their consciences and (2) honoring parents’ rights by requiring parental involvement in decision-making – all while still treating all students with respect and dignity.

“This is an incredibly important case on multiple levels,” said Ray D. Hacke, PJI’s Oregon-based staff attorney. “The Supreme Court has made clear that educators don’t check their freedom of speech at the schoolhouse gate when they accept employment with public school districts – they have as much right to speak out against district policies they consider harmful as any other citizen. The school district erred egregiously here in punishing Rachel and Katie for daring to take the stand they did.”

Damiano and Medart have been in the education field for many years, most recently working at North Middle School in Grants Pass. Damiano serves as assistant principal at NMS; Medart teaches science there.

Together, the two started I Resolve to promote a tolerant solution to gender identity education policy. They propose allowing staff and students to abide by their consciences and refrain from using preferred pronouns for students whose anatomic sex does not match the students’ pronoun of choice. Damiano and Medart also propose requiring parent involvement to change students’ pronouns.

In addition, Damiano and Medart call for restrooms and locker rooms to be labeled as “anatomically male” and “anatomically female” to correspond with students’ anatomic sex. They also propose giving all students the option to request access to private restrooms and locker rooms.

After Damiano and Medart posted a video on their website promoting their proposed policy solutions, the Grants Pass School District placed the educators on leave pending an investigation, set to conclude before the school year officially ends on June 10. Damiano and Medart are now facing termination of their employment for engaging in speech that the First Amendment protects.

“Educators, like everybody else, have ideas and opinions they should be free to express,” PJI President Brad Dacus said. “This expression is protected by our First Amendment. Advocating for solutions they believe in should stimulate conversation, not subject dedicated educators to disciplinary action.

“PJI is proud to fight for the rights of educators like Rachel and Katie to ensure that much-needed conversations on gender identity take place.” Contribute today!

Asm. Kevin Kiley Announces Exploratory Committee for Governor


I want to thank everyone who has encouraged me to run in the Recall election. I can’t tell you how humbled and appreciative I am.

I got involved with the Recall in a supporting role: to help support the countless Californians who worked tirelessly, heroically, to build the greatest citizens movement in our history. I didn’t do so with any intention of being a candidate.

As I’ve traveled the state, I’ve had the chance to meet many of you in person. I’ve listened to your input, and have learned so much. I’ve thought about what it will take to get our movement across the finish line. And I’m ready to play whatever role gives us the greatest chance to make that happen.

To that end, Orrin Heatlie, the Lead Proponent of the Recall, has offered to organize a committee of Recall leaders to explore that question: whether my candidacy would best serve the goals of removing Newsom and bringing the fundamental change California needs.

At this point, much about the race remains unsettled. That includes the election date, which is looking like September but could be November. The field is also still taking shape. For instance, former acting Director of National Intelligence Ric Grenell is still considering a bid, and he’d be an immediate frontrunner.

So before taking any formal steps, I’m going to trust in the citizens who built this movement. Orrin’s group will account for all dynamics in advising on the best path forward. And I’d love to hear from you directly – just reply to this email!

Running for Governor is never something undertaken lightly, and that’s especially true at this moment. Any candidate must approach the task with the greatest measure of humility and the highest sense of responsibility.

But also, with a sense of possibility: an earnest excitement for what we can achieve together, as we endeavor not just to fire America’s worst governor but to save America’s greatest state.

We’ve already made history. Now comes the fight for California’s future.

My Mother Thought Fathers Didn't Matter


Dennis Prager just released a video about the importance of fathers.

Yes, Dads matter.

When I was growing up, however, my mother gave off this perverse impression that Dads do NOT matter. She even reduced the roles and importance of fathers to "provider and protector." She also said nasty things about men in general, since she was so bitter towards her father and her husband, and of course that would slop onto me, too.

I look back on all of that abuse, and it finally all makes sense what I was going through as a kid. My mother was indeed, crazy, but more seriously, she was so bitter and angry. 

During high school, our mother (my sister and I) were walking around the Old Ports o' Call in San Pedro. We stopped at one of the tables near the fish market, and she led us through another one of her legalistic Bible studies.

I remember saying to her: "It seems that moms are all that matter. Why are Dads important, then?"

I get sick to my stomach when I think about this statement. I actually said that, and at the time, I really believed that fathers did not matter. So much of the hate that had been coming out of my mother's mouth was so denigrating towards men. It was a very sad time.

Today, I know very well that fathers matter. I submit that fathers matter even more than mothers, especially considering the increased societal breakdown which we are witnessing around the world.

It was such abuse that my mother treated fathers in general with such contempt. But Dads do matter!

Mayor Pat Furey: Corrupt, Lawless, Pro-Criminal, Won't Support Resolution of No Confidence Against George Gascon

Over the last three days, I have exposed a number of people on the Torrance City Council, men and women who are not taking a firm, courageous stance to put the city on recording with a Resolution of No Confidence in corrupt, pro-criminal Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon.

Now, I want to focus on one of the worst mayors in the state of California, and certainly in the history of Torrance: Pat Furey.


This guy got elected because two more qualified candidates for mayor split the vote. This happened two times in a row, and it's quite disgusting. This guy has no business sitting on the dais. He violated campaign finance laws in the city of Torrance. He has been one of the rudest, most incompetent heads of the city in recent memory. He cannot even control a meeting properly, ever since Black Lives Matter burst into the city council chambers in 2018 and began harassing the council and residents in the chambers.

This man is a disgrace. Jared Sidney Torrance is rolling over in his grave, to think that such perverted incompetence has become so commonplace.

This guy can't even take the lead to push forward a Resolution of No Confidence in Los Angeles County DA George Gascon.

Torrance deserves better. We need real leadership on the city council, not some wishy-washy weakness that cares more about virtue-signaling than actual virtue.

Pat Furey used to be a prosecutor in the Los Angeles District Attorney's office! One would think that he would go on record opposing Gascon and supporting a Resolution of No Confidence in George Gascon.

What is his problem?!

Contact Torrance Mayor Pat Furey, and tell him to stop siding with corruption and pro-criminal policies, and tell him to support a Resolution of No Confidence against Gascon!

Torrance City Council: Reject "Pride Month" Resolution

Dear Torrance City Council:

I am saddened and disgusted that (once again), the Torrance City Council wants to celebrate "PRIDE" Month.




6C. PROCLAMATION declaring June 2021 as LGBTQ Pride Month in the City of Torrance.

Why is this city council, or any city council for that matter, celebrating sexual perversion, degeneracy, and deviance as something to cherish?

First of all, if people are "born that way", then what is there to celebrate? What is this celebration really about? That a man wants to misuse his genitals, like someone shoving a straw up his nose to drink, or a woman using her elbow to scratch her head? This is a travesty, not something to celebrate at all. The behaviors are inherently damaging, cutting the lifespan short of individuals who engage in them by an average of 20%. In LGBT affirming countries like Sweden, the suicidality rate for transgenders is 40%! This is not a set of lifestyles to celebrate, but rather a set of mental illnesses and emotional maladjustments which need care and treatment.




Second of all, I happen to support science and research. There is no evidence that people are born gay, transgender, two-spirit, etc. I thought that Torrance, as a well-balanced industrial, commercial, and residential city would stay true to the fundamental principles of science and research. The latest report on these origins of homosexuality and transgenderism have confirmed that there is no "gay gene":


Why is the city council taking on such an anti-science position, to assert that these destructive behaviors should be celebrated as innate civil rights? How about celebrating "Detransitioners Month", to recognize the growing number of men and women who realize that they could never change their sex, and that all attempts to do so via sex mutilation were foolish and futile? How about "Ex-gay" month, for the millions of men and women around the world who realized that the whole LGBT movement is based on lies, and that they no longer had to live "that way" because they were not "born that way"?

Third, all of this "Resolution Virtue-Signaling" ignores very serious issues in the city. When is the city going to get the ordinance in place for our Health District, so that we will no longer be under the arbitrary diktat of an unelected health director in Downtown Los Angeles in the event of another so-called "pandemic"? The city needs to address the homelessness issue effectively, so that we do not turn into Skid Row in Downtown Los Angeles. These are the issues that the city council needs to address, not this aberrant virtue-signaling.




Fourth, this LGBT movement has metastasized into elitist, arrogant, and tyrannical movement at its core. From the late 1960s onwards, when there was this massive push to decriminalize homosexual conduct, the public at large was told not to worry, because this was all about private behavior between consenting adults. Today, we see LGBT being pushed onto kids in their cartoons and on cereal boxes as well as in the classroom. LGBT activists bully churches, charities, and small businesses if they do not comply and promote LGBT themes and ideologies. Corporate interests around the world (except in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia) reshape their logos with the six-colored PRIDE backgrounds to show their solidarity with this "movement". The notion that LGBT activists and individuals who engage in these behaviors are somehow oppressed or in need of support and promotion in city councils is laughable. If nothing else, we are witnessing a perverse movement in which every citizen must pander and celebrate this agenda or be forced out of work, out of the public square, and out of the civic compact. This is all wrong, and it's time for governments at all levels to stop pandering to this destructive agenda.

Last of all, I informed this city council that the South Bay LGBT Center, which had paraded a bunch of despicable pride flags in the Torrance City Council chambers in 2019, had a trustee member who had molested five youths. FIVE! That agency should have shut its doors in disgrace, not flaunted sexual degeneracy before all, including in the city of Torrance.




Here's the report from former Daily Breeze Crime Reporter Larry Altman about that South Bay LGBT Center Trustee:


Why would the city counci celebrate something that is promoted by such a discredited non-profit in the city?

I must remind you that the first directly-elected Torrance Mayor Albert Isen wanted to preserve the culture of this vibrant, growing city during his tenure. He went to great lengths to keep sexual perversion out of the city, even going so far as to launch an anti-smut campaign and take the lead on banning topless bars in the city.  A few years ago, even the current mayor took great strides to stop the proliferation of massage parlors in the city of Torrance, many of which were turning into dens of prostitution in the city.

Now, fifty years after Isen's tenure, the Torrance City Council is actually celebrating sexual perversion as a civil right?!

This is outrageous.

The city council needs to stop with this deviant virtue-signaling nonsense. How about celebrating "Nuclear Family" Month, if the city insists on celebrating something that relates to families?

For the time being, this silly resolution needs to be tabled permantly. Let's celebrate civic pride, not sexual degeneracy.

Torrance is better than this. Enough is enough.

Sincerely,

Arthur Schaper, Organization Director

Open Letter to CAGOP, Denouncing "Pride Month" Announcement from RNC Chair

To the current leadership of the California Republican Party:

My name is Arthur Schaper, and I am a delegate to the state party, having served as the GOP nominee for the 66th Assembly District in Los Angeles County.

I just found this tweet from Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel:

https://twitter.com/GOPChairwoman/status/1400212885595426824

 The contents of the tweet read as follows:

This is abhorrent and disgusting.



The Republican Party was founded on ending the twin relics of barbarism: slavery and polygamy.

Polygamy is a detestable practice which reduces women (and children) to property while undermining the inherent dignity of men.

The point is: pro-family policies must be defended at all costs in the Republican Party.

The idea that the Republican Party should welcome sexual deviancy and degeneracy as some kind of iteration of the Civil Rights Movement, or that sexual perversion should be treated as another class of essential being is anti-science and unconstitutional.

Human beings are not "born" gay. Even openly gay academics like Camille Paglia have recognized this fact. There is also a growing body of research which confirms that there is no "gay gene":

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-019-02585-6

We need to be the "pro-science" as well as the pro-natural law party.

I must remind all of you of the clear dictates of our nation's founding principles:

"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."

The laws of nature recognize male and female, and recognize that marriage is a sacrament, an institution of one man and one woman. The head of our party should not be celebrating homosexuality, transgenderism, and like degenerate behaviors. There is no place for this perversity in conservatism.

The RNC Chairwoman must retract this outrageous tweet, which suggests that LGBT behaviors are concrete identities deserving of full support and protection. The California Republican Party must go on record opposing such perverse, improper declarations, as well.

We cannot allow our culture to descend into a malaise of cultural Marxism masquerading as "tolerance, inclusiveness, and diversity."

There are a number of behaviors and ideas which cannot be tolerated. They include the destruction of innocent life (abortion), the limitation of self-defense (gun control), and the destruction of the natural family (homosexuality, transgenderism, no-fault divorce, etc.)

As a delegate to the state party, I expect a response on this matter.

Thank you. 

Sincerely,

Arthur Schaper 

Open Letter to Councilman Herring: Torrance is NOT a Systemically Racist City



Councilman Herring:

I read your editorial published in the Daily Bulletin, entitled "Black Lives Matter, Mr. Mattucci".

I must say that I found the tone and the conclusions of this editorial quite surprising and striking for their serious disregard for facts and evidence.

You claim that "systemic racism that has existed in Torrance since its corporation in 1921."

Would you please explain which systems in the city of Torrance exhibit this racism, and what is your proof of this racism?

Your article did not cite anything specific. In fact, in a city council meeting in 2018, you declared that Torrance could not be a racist city, since the residents had elected you to the city council, and you were the highest vote-getter in the 2016 City Council election.

You assert that "Black Lives Matter is not a terrorist group." However, Black Lives Matter spokesman and activists have talked about taking land from white people in public forums. One of the leaders in New York City stated the following: "If this country doesn't give us what we want, then we will burn down this system and replace it." They have claimed that cities with a multi-ethnic heritage like Carson were founded "white supremacy", and in fact I recall that members of Black Lives Matter call you yourself a white supremacist. They have rallied around and then toppled monuments and statues throughout the United States, including memorials for African-American soldiers who fought for their own freedom and their fellow countrymen during the American Civil War. A number of times, BLM protesters have chanted "Pigs in a blanket, fry 'em like bacon." These phrases were directed at police officers. These are violent statements, implying perverse threats against police officers.

BLM protests have erupted into riots in many cities across the United States. They have destroyed businesses, homes, attacked police precincts. They have even attacked and murdered other black lives. They have repeatedly intimidated elected officials by disrupting public meetings and preventing other citizens from being heard in these public meetings. I personally have been assaulted and my life threatened by these activists. I must remind you that many of the businesses destroyed in these riots were owned by African-Americans.

Violence, acts of intimidation, destruction of property -- are not these behaviors examples of domestic terrorism?

Mr. Herring, you stated the following in your editorial:

"Mr. Mattucci, when we say that Black lives matter, we are not saying that other lives do not matter."

"We are saying that all lives cannot matter until Black lives matter and receive that same justice."

 All lives matter because they are all endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights. The notion that a life matters less because of skin color is antithetical to everything that the United States is founded on. The notion that other lives cannot matter until the lives of one segment of the population matter by receiving the "same justice" is in fact one of the most unjust, racist formulations I have ever read. Justice cannot be a matter of skin color. Justice must be a matter of actions and merits. The very notion that a segment of the population based on skin color has been denied justice because of their skin color requires more rigorous defense than you have provided.

What is your basis for the assertion that black lives are not receiving the same justice as everyone else?

Are you implying that Asian-American lives, which are most often harmed and harassed by black lives, do not matter?

Are you aware that the massive homicide rate in black communities is a result of black-on-black crime?

Are you aware that many black lives are lost because of abortion, and that Planned Parenthood, founded by an embittered racist named Margaret Sanger, deliberately targeted black communities for extermination via abortion?

Are you aware that in predominantly Democrat-run urban areas, most of the black homicides occur?

 Councilman Herring, I have no reason not to take your statements seriously. Precisely for that reason, I found many of your formulations in your editorial to be surprising if not disturbing for their lack of evidence, intellectual rigor, and seriousness. I submit to you that when black lives matter to other black lives, then the import of the larger statement "Black lives matter" will have more integrity. Furthermore, your claim that Torrance is systemically racist is, if I may be so bold, systemically flawed. By what metric can you claim that the city of Torrance is racist?

 Please respond to the questions which I have provided in bold letters above. As a retired city councilman, a pastor, and a retired military official, your reputation and the gravity of your assertions demand a response to the questions I have provided. You all but libeled the city of Torrance and its residents, and such brazen assertions must be challenged.

 Sincerely,

 Arthur Schaper
