Election 2022 Sales Tax Scam: The City of Torrance Has Enough Reserves
On March 21, 2022, I wrote to Torrance City Manager Aram Chaparyan regarding the state of the city's finances. I was aware that the city reserves had drastically reduced to $500,000, in large part because previous city councils had continued to spend money that the city simply did not have.
The city manager responded:
The city's current balance in general reserves is
$22.6 Million!
The city is no longer in financial arrears!
There is NO NEED for a sales tax increase. NONE!
Check out the link and the report on Page 24 whicht city manager Chaparyan cited:
FY 2021 – 22 MID-YEAR BUDGET REVIEW REPORT
Here's a closer look at the table above:
With the most realistic projections considered, the city will have a reserve of $36,277,155!
That's a considerable amount of money on hand for the city!
So, in other words, the city of Torrance does not need to raise the sales tax. The argument that Los Angeles County might want to raise the sales tax is a hollow scare tactic at best. Los Angeles Unified tried to raise the property tax rates four years ago, and that effort failed massively.
The Board of Supervisors cannot muster the political capital to force up sales tax rates in the first place, since so many Los Angeles County residents are struggling from paycheck to paycheck as it is.
There is no reason to raise up the sales tax. What it really amounts to is that a majority on the city council is too lazy, too incompetent, or just plain indifferent to the needs of the residents in the city, and would rather gouge taxpayers instead of offering creative solutions to increase revenue.
Say NO to any sales tax increase!

Jenna "Karen" McKee: Pervert, Cyberbully, Disgrace to the City of Torrance
anyway fuck the troops
— 🌙jenna♏️ (@CumboyBebop) April 3, 2022
She likes to use the "f-word" a great deal. As stated above, she is quite a pervert.
She thinks that babies can be racist:
do you think babies are racist??
— 🌙jenna♏️ (@CumboyBebop) March 30, 2022
Seriously ...
She also supports the sexual mutilation of minors:
About to cause a ruckus at my local school board meeting! I’ll keep you all updated pic.twitter.com/CoO92s90Ht

Transgenderism is a mental illness. Children who struggle with gender dysphoria need help, not more enabling to be abused. Karen thinks it's great for children to be abused.
Creepy Karens like Jenna McKee need to be kept as far away as possible from children.
They are perverts, and they are predators pushing evil designs on innocent children.
Torrance, California is better than this. Torrance is "The Balanced City," and someone as mental unhinged and imbalanced as Jenna "Karen" McKee has no business pushing her hate in school boards and onto children.
She also feels the need to showcase her self-loathing. She knows people are exposing her:
Umm frog and toad are LITERALLY gay communist lovers 😐😐😐 it makes perfect sense! pic.twitter.com/auGz7InltW
— 🌙jenna♏️ (@CumboyBebop) August 4, 2021
"Frog and Toad are gay communist lovers" .... really. Sick and demented. Once again, she shouldn't be around kids ... or adults for that matter.
Sadly, she paid a visit to the Torrance Unified School Board in March, 2022:
She knew that I was attending the school board meeting, but she stayed away. She had to, since the shame of her crusade to promote child abuse against children would have gone public right then and there:
Context https://t.co/g6BDcu5YHs
— 🌙jenna♏️ (@CumboyBebop) March 22, 2022
The only context that matters is that she is sick, demented, disturbed, and quite a cyberbully. Of course, like all LGBT bigots, she loves to play victim: all while victimizing others, of course.
I guess I live in her head rent-free. There must be a great deal of space up there, since the only things she obssesses on are how to destroy children, how to pervert society, and how to abolish any form of law enforcement.
At the Torrance School Board meeting, she was determined to make sexual exploitation and abuse of children acceptable, calling it "diversity, tolerance, inclusion, etc."
Notice that her shirt was not visible during her public comment before the Torrance School Board. She is so ashamed of her own child-hatred, that she didn't want the school board members to see her shirt.
Why are sick people like this allowed in public forums like school boards? What would parents think if someone like this walked into the meeting, advertising the promotion of gender mutilation onto children?
If you see Jenna McKee near a school or a student, tell her to get away as soon as possible. Make a loud scene if necessary. She should be exposed, shamed, and excoriated from the public because of her vile hatred of children, biology, and the natural facts of marriage, life, and family.

MassResistance Helps Hawaii Group Stop Bad Anti-Family Bills in State Legislature
MassResistance helps Hawaii parents stop terrible anti-family bills in State Legislature
Bills that would (1) push extreme LGBT agenda in schools and (2) criminally punish parents who complain
Plus a bizarre pro-LGBT school resolution dies in the Hawaii House of Representatives
The right strategies from MassResistance made the difference, says local leader!
April 4, 2022
There were continuous protests by parents in downtown Honolulu near the State Capitol.Two of the most radical bills we’ve ever seen were introduced in the Hawaii legislature this past January. Quickly gaining momentum, both quietly passed in the House in early March. They needed to be stopped in the State Senate!
- Bill HB 1697 would have required public schools to teach children that homosexuality, transgenderism, etc., are normal and positive behaviors. Schools must “destigmatize” and include “positive representations” of “lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, intersex, asexual, other sexual orientation and gender identities.”
It would also have required the Hawaii Department of Education (DOE) to train teachers how to instruct children on LGBT topics. - Bill HB 2125 would have criminalized parents who complain to teachers or their School Board. Its intent was to silence parents who object to Critical Race Theory, graphic LGBT topics, Covid mask requirements for children, etc. It would have created a new criminal offense: “Harassment of an education worker” with punishments of fines and jail time.
It would have dovetailed with existing statutes to include “harassing or insulting electronic communications.” Thus, sending “insulting” emails to your School Board member (or posting criticisms on social media) could get a parent in legal trouble.
These bills were heavily pushed by the Hawaii Department of Education, other leftist government agencies, special interest groups, various radical teachers, and left-wing activists.
Outrage across the state – parents organize
The outrage against these bills across the state was fierce. Two parents, Art and Peggy, formed a fast-growing statewide group, Fathers and Mothers for Children, to mobilize people against these two bills.
On March 7, 2022, the group held a rally against HB 1697 at the Hawaii State Capitol in Honolulu. Over 100 people attended. It was a rousing event, and included speeches by prominent pro-family leaders and a State Representative.
State Rep Bob McDermott, a pro-family fighter in the legislature, addresses the parents' rally.A week later, on March 14, the group organized a march through the streets of Honolulu to the State Capitol. Hundreds of people participated. When they reached the Capitol, there was another rally with several local speakers.
Protesters march through Honolulu to the State Capitol on March 14.
A family makes a statement outside the Capitol.They continued holding protests every few days.
MassResistance gets involved
MassResistance is no stranger to Hawaii. Back in 2009, we helped stop a “civil unions” bill in the Hawaii Senate. (Even the Boston “gay” newspaper complained about MassResistance’s involvement there!)
In 2013, MassResistance worked with Hawaii activists in a huge battle to attempt to stop “gay marriage” from being imposed by the Legislature.
We are still in touch with many of the activists we worked with back then. So on March 10, 2022, one of them – Susan – contacted us for some strategic help.
After studying the situation, including the fact that both bills were now in the State Senate, we advised Susan that the group should immediately: (1) get politicians who are currently running for office to show up and publicly support the parents; and (2) target the districts of the Senators who are pushing the bad bills.
They took our advice. Here’s what Susan told us on March 25:
We used those two suggestions. We got politicians involved and I think that is what helped get the word out to a larger group. Candidates running for office did come and they participated in our events. We had a candidate for Governor and a very popular candidate for Lt. Governor show up and both spoke. And we singled out three districts that we targeted for rallies and sign waving.
Victory: Both bills were stopped in the Senate!
And everyone’s hard work paid off! On March 24, both bills failed to move forward in the Senate and are now dead. It happened very quietly. The parents had to call the Capitol to get the official word. “I imagine that there will be efforts to resurrect these bills next year but we'll be watching,” Susan told us.
A bizarre House resolution also dies
There was also a bizarre resolution in the House of Representatives that almost passed. It had no legal implications, but it still promoted a very dangerous policy.
HCR 138 stated that Hawaii’s “educational materials and practices do not reflect the range of gender expressions and sexual identities that exist” and that “teachers do not understand diverse gender and sexual orientations.”
Therefore, to fix this “problem” the resolution requested that the Hawaii Department of Education create a “student-led working group” to find ways to push LGBT subjects more directly in Hawaii’s schools. That would include “peer to peer sexual health” – which usually means homosexuals grooming other children.
Since the House had earlier passed the two anti-family bills, our side was not confident we could stop this, either. But it seems that the resolution got tripped up by the growing parental outrage. Though it had already passed one House committee, on April 1 it quietly died in another House committee.
Final thoughts
A big contribution that MassResistance makes around the country is to help parents with an aggressive and effective strategy to achieve their goals. Most parents have a lot of great energy for fighting the Left’s horrible attacks on their children, but little experience in the right way to go about it. The Left usually comes in with a wealth of experience and tactics. We help to bridge that gap!
Please help us continue to do our uncompromising work!
Our successes depend on people like you.
Your support will make the difference!
