More Winning: Newsom Vetoes More Bad Bills to Build Up His Bad Presidential Bid

Governor Newson wants to be President Newsom.

So, he's pretending to be prudent and he's vetoeing bills because they would "cost too much."

Yeah, right ...

Hi Arthur, Surprise! Tyrannical Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom (who wants to run for president) has vetoed 3 awful bills passed by Democrat legislators: AB 2663 to fund a pilot program to "support" "LGBTQIA+ children with a new government "service" (Newsom wrote on Sept. 19 that he supported the "lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, plus (LGBTQ+) and gender-expansive youth" agenda of the bill, but was vetoing it because it "would require millions of dollars to successfully implement the proposed pilot program and these ongoing resources are not accounted for in the budget." AB 2320 to massively fund Planned Parenthood abortuaries in 5 counties (Newsom wrote on Sept. 22 that he was equally pro-abortion, but that the costs were duplicative and wasteful) SB 834 to yank the tax-exempt status of California nonprofits deemed to have engaged in "treason, insurrection, conspiracy, government overthrow" (Newsom wrote on Sept. 22 that this should be a matter for courts to decide). The veto of SB 834 is a relief to nonprofits like ours that support election integrity -- essential for the democratic republic that is the United States of America. Why these surprising vetoes? Newsom is unofficially running for president in 2024, with his latest "advertisement" this week at the "Clinton Global Initiative" in New York. As such, he's trying to craft a somewhat less liberal image for himself for less "woke" Democrats in other states. This explains his veto of the radical, tyrannical, anti-free-speech bill SB 834. It also explains nearly 20 veto messages this month, in which he repeated the line: "With our state facing lower-than-expected revenues over the first few months of this fiscal year, it is important to remain disciplined." Some secular media pundits have observed that "with the income tax revenue coming in 11% below expectations so far this year, it appears that Newsom is starting to channel his inner Jerry Brown." Additional bill to oppose: AB 1940 Therefore, based on Newsom's string of "fiscally prudent" veto messages, SaveCalifornia.com is adding AB 1940 to the other four anti-family bills we believe can be vetoed by this tyrannical, unconstitutional, left-wing (Democrat) governor.  Because AB 1940, which SaveCalifornia.com fought against this summer, would spend tens of millions of taxpayer dollars annually on "school-based clinics," pushing all types of garbage upon children behind parents' backs. Fiscal facts making AB 1940 ripe for a veto include this from the Democrat-run Senate Appropriations Committee: "CDPH estimates General Fund costs of $1,047,000 in 2023-24, $14,797,000 in 2024-25 and 2025-26, and $28,279,985 ongoing thereafter." As such, it's plausible AB 1940 could be vetoed for the same public reason as other fiscal-bill vetoes we're seeing from Newsom: "With our state facing lower-than-expected revenues over the first few months of this fiscal year, it is important to remain disciplined when it comes to spending, particularly spending that is ongoing." PLEASE ACT NOW Phone 916-445-2841 (M-F 9a-5p) | Webform (in the drop-down menu, look for AB01940 -- see instructions below). Leave a brief message for Newsom, such as, "AB 1940 is against parents -- veto this bad bill." (Newsom has until Sept. 30 to sign or veto.) Have a couple more minutes? Urge vetoes of these 4 other bills (one message per bill, or combine all 5 bills in 1 call to the governor's constituent services office). Make your impact today with SaveCalifornia.com Right now, SaveCalifornia.com must ramp up our opposition to the anti-family leftists. We're pushing for vetoes this month and for conservative victories this important election.

MoveOn.Org Moral Panic Over Mark Finchem Calling out Corrupt Election 2020

 MoveOn.org has yet another meltdown, this time about Mark Finchem, the candidate for Arizona Secretary of State, who looks as if he's going to run away with the race!

Dear MoveOn member, 

In a shocking new interview with Time magazine, Mark Finchem, the Republican candidate running to oversee elections in Arizona, was asked if he would certify Joe Biden as the winner in 2024 if Biden earned the most votes. 

Finchem replied, "you're proposing something that, quite frankly, is a fantasy."¹

You read that correctly: Finchem—who attended the January 6 insurrection as a member of the white supremacist Oath Keepers militia—is openly declaring that he will not certify the election results if a Democrat wins, no matter the true will of the people.²

Mark Finchem simply cannot become Arizona's secretary of state this November. But right now, Democrat Adrian Fontes is trailing Finchem in the polls by 5 points.³

That's why MoveOn has launched an unprecedented, multimillion-dollar campaign to defeat MAGA extremists like Finchem this November and prevent them from overseeing elections.

Will you chip in $3 today to MoveOn's democracy defense campaign? MoveOn is one of the only progressive groups in the nation that is working to defeat MAGA secretary of state candidates in battleground states.

Arthur, in battleground states across the country, MoveOn-endorsed candidates are facing unprecedented opposition from the America First Secretary of State Coalition.

The coalition was formed by radical MAGA candidates who are running for secretary of state in key battleground states. In most states, the secretary of state oversees elections—including determining who is eligible to vote and with the power to kick voters off the rolls, throw out votes, and declare the winners of elections.

The goal of the America First Secretary of State Coalition is to elect Trump puppets to the top elections administration position in critical swing states so that when the 2024 election comes, they will have the power to declare Trump the winner—no matter the true will of the voters.

Steve Bannon, who is closely tied to the America First Secretary of State Coalition, said it outright: "We're taking over all the elections."⁴

This is an existential threat to our democracy. But thankfully, MoveOn has been working for months to defeat MAGA candidates for secretary of state and elect honest Democrats who will protect our democracy and count every vote.

But in order to ensure our campaign is running pedal to the metal from now until Election Day, we need your help.

Will you join me and chip in $3 today to power our democracy-saving campaign?

Thanks for all you do.

Pastor Scott Lively Corrects Andrew Torba re: "Christian Nationalism"

Open Letter to Andrew Torba re “Christian Nationalism” Dear Brother Andrew. I am a Hebraic-oriented Evangelical Christian attorney, pastor and historian who has devoted my entire adult life in Christ to Christian social, cultural and political activism. I bought your book “Christian Nationalism” to support the mission of Gab Social, and want to offer you some constructive criticism.  At the outset, I want to commend you for your courage and vision in taking on the powers and principalities of the present age by working to break the chains of censorship and suppression of free speech, particularly of the biblically-informed views that so powerfully contradict the secular humanist dogma of our Marxist would-be masters. They are the true enemies of “Judeo-Christian” civilization, and of course I choose that phrase intentionally to respectfully contradict your well-intentioned but misguided representation of its meaning and purpose relative to our national identity and heritage.  I will also add that I am both a member of Gab and a vehement defender of your right to address the distinctions between Judaism and Christianity. I do not consider you an anti-Semite, and in fact believe that the secularized ethnic Jews working to destroy your work are actually far more anti-Semitic than they claim you are in that they deny and/or defy the Torah, whereas you worship and revere its Author.  What defines a “Semite” (Shemite) if not Yahweh-worship? It certainly can’t be an ethnic connection to Shem (or Abraham or even Jacob) which virtually all humanity now shares because of genetic diffusion over millennia. No, it must be the practice of true Judaism, whose terms are defined by the Torah and Tanach (Old Testament Scripture), NOT the Talmud (commentaries on the Scripture by various Hebrew scholars with widely divergent views, values and validity).  Indeed, Judaism itself is as factional as Christianity but on a smaller scale, only because it’s so much smaller in numbers. Jews are not just doctrinally divided, but notoriously so! As the famous old joke goes “Ask two Jews, get three opinions.” Thus, to cite the view of any Talmudic “sage” as representative of all Jews or Judaism itself (as you did on page 56) is as intellectually dishonest as an anti-Christian Jew or Secular Humanist cherry-picking from the collective works of Christian scholars to define all Christianity.   You begin Chapter 4 “This is Not a ‘Judeo-Christian’ Movement” asserting that “Christianity and Judaism are totally distinct, incompatible, and irreconcilable religions.” In one essential sense that is true because, as you emphasize, Judaism denies that Jesus Christ is the Messiah. BUT, unlike all the other people groups of the world that also deny Christ (including all the secular factions in our diverse MAGA and populist/conservative movements whom you rightfully seem very comfortable collaborating with), true Torah-faithful Jews believe in A Messiah who will do all the things that Christians anticipate Jesus Christ will do on His second coming. Most Jews simply “missed the bus” on Jesus/Yeshua during His first advent (by God’s own plan), but remain standing in line for the next one, which Romans 11 tells us they WILL catch, when (as God adds in Zechariah 12:10) “I will pour out on the house of David and on the people of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and prayer, and they will look on Me, the One they have pierced [and] mourn for Him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for Him as one grieves for a firstborn son.”  You and I presumably share all or most of that would be considered the most fundamental tenets of the Christian faith, and many non-essential doctrines too. But we differ strongly on “supersessionism” (replacement theology) which you defend as the justification for your personal theology. Importantly, what you have laid out in “Christian Nationalism” is your personal theology, which does not represent Christianity as a whole, but only one slate of views among the constellation of denominations. That’s not a problem insofar as you admit it, and don’t attempt to impose your interpretations on non-essentials as dogma on the rest of Christendom. The flaw in your analysis of supersessionism (page 57) is the appeal to tradition (one of the classic fallacies of formal logic)  Whenever we justify ourselves by church tradition instead of the Bible itself, we depart from sound Holy Spirit guidance to tenuous worldly humanism – the common error behind Roman Catholicism’s self-authorizing “Magisterium” theory and Talmudic Judaism’s self-authorizing “Revered Sages” club. Correcting that error in Christendom was the implicit premise of the Reformation, but unfortunately, the reformers failed to reform numerous extra-biblical human-created doctrines in Protestantism, including the RCC’s dramatic changes to the God’s holiday calendar, the presumed right of the church to enforce dogma through murder (i.e. Calvin’s execution of Michael Servetus), and a severe Greco-Roman cultural bias in interpreting Scripture that differs markedly from the Hebraic cultural perspective of the Apostles and the Prophets. Many of those human-created doctrines were quickly jettisoned as Protestantism splintered into numerous factions, such as Presbyterianism that made the world-changing quantum shift from the top-down ecclesiastical power-pyramid exemplified by the papacy (and Anglicanism) to bottom-up self governance authorized by the “priesthood of all believers” and organized like the Jerusalem Council of Acts 15. THAT is the deepest foundation-stone of America and of the modern movement for constitutionalism (foreshadowed by the Magna Carta in 1215, also heavily influenced by Jews).  The process of getting from Scottish Presbyterianism to the Pilgrim Separatism of the Plymouth Colony was heavily influenced by Christian-Jewish cross-pollination. Indeed, I know from my studies of this, that there would never have been a US Constitution or the populist overthrow of the western monarchies if not for the 16th and 17th Century Hebraic Movement in Holland and Great Britain. And that is why America is and has always been “Judeo-Christian.” It has nothing to do with how many Jews were active in the physical founding of America, or how Christian-centric the first state constitutions were, it is simply an honest acknowledgment of the Jews’ role in nudging Christians back to their First Century heritage that made America possible: a shared intellectual property right, if you will, like co-authors of a book or a scientific theory.  Lastly, you asserted on page 61 “It is impossible to overstate the importance of the historic cataclysm that was the Destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple in 70 AD.” Sorry, but it not only IS possible, you have done it. If that post-millennial doctrine were true, the real proof would have been unmistakable over the next thousand years, especially the end, but of course, it didn’t look at all like the Millennial Kingdom of prophecy – because Christ’s earthly kingdom, while very near, has not yet begun. You would know that if you studied the Bible from the literal Hebraic perspective, but you don’t and I respect that as your right within the bounds of Christian liberty.  My point with the prior paragraph is to illustrate that factionalism will be the death-knell to any attempt to build unity on a theological foundation, which is why the Founders and subsequent Christian generations chose the broadest possible platform – Bible-based Yahweh-honoring monotheism (exemplified in our national motto, “In God we trust”) – and not any flavor of Christian sectarianism (which led to many serious conflicts among the denominations in our early days as a nation and thus the ban on establishing state “religions” – meaning “denominations” -- in the “Establishment Clause” of our constitution.)   I don’t expect you to change your theology based on one letter from me, but I do hope you will reconsider your gratuitous exclusionary rhetoric regarding our spiritual cousins in the House of Judah, treating at least the many who share our cultural values (and the all-important Creationist paradigm) with the same basic respect and comradery you show to Atheists in the MAGA and conservative movements. And I offer my assistance in making this necessary course-correction if you care to accept it.  Pastor Scott Lively, J.D., Th.D.

OUTRAGEOUS! Idaho Family Policy Center Cancelled by Tech Provider

 

Friends, We both know that standing for biblical principles can have serious ramifications. This reality hits us close to home. Recently, Idaho Family Policy Center was cancelled by the tech provider that distributed our email newsletter, maintained our lists, hosted our event registrations, processed our gifts, and facilitated our action center. Why? Supposedly we violated their arbitrary terms by supporting the sanctity of preborn life as well as advocating biblical marriage, gender, and sexuality. Frankly, we were cancelled because we're making a difference—and because our victories keep piling up. Perhaps they thought that they could slow us down by cancelling us. But if that was their goal, they made a major miscalculation. We are in the process of replacing our previous tech provider with new ones that share our values. At huge expense to our organization, we were able to salvage everything we need to keep operating. Thankfully, my team and I were prepared for this incident. Otherwise, it would have crippled our ministry. We knew this was going to come at some point. They want to silence anyone who stands for biblical truth and constitutional values—and they’re not going to stop until they successfully silence all of us. Will you help us stand strong against the woke leftist mobs aiming to destroy the Christian foundations of American society? A recurring gift of $35, $75, or $150 monthly – or a generous one-time gift of $200, $500, or $1,000 – will help us get back on our feet so we can keep advancing the lordship of Jesus Christ in the public square. We covet your prayers during these uncertain times, and we appreciate your continued support. By God’s grace, our path forward remains clear as we keep walking in obedience by faith.   Standing in the gap,

Blaine Conzatti President, Idaho Family Policy Center

Kari Lake for the Win: The Problem is the Whole System

Arthur,   What is it with the establishment elites HIDING from the people?   Joe Biden's been in the basement for months.    He pops out - delivers a massively unpopular plan for student loan forgiveness - and goes back to avoiding the public.    That peek-a-boo act must be written into the official Democrat playbook because my opponent, Katie Hobbs, is doing the exact same thing!    She refuses to debate. She refuses to show her face to the people of Arizona. If she's not making a plea to the radical left for more Soros money to fund her campaign, no one hears from her at all.   This unaccountable, ridiculous behavior is so typical of a political establishment that does not value the voice of the people. FIGHT BACK >>    Now, it should be clear by now...    I'm not hiding. That's because I'M NOT AFRAID.   I speak with the people every day because I believe that WE THE PEOPLE deserve to hear from both sides and get a fair idea of who will stand for you and who won't.   The silence is deafening.    While conservative leaders like me on the NEW RIGHT are open books...   The failing establishment elites are closed doors.  It's time for us to say OUT WITH THE OLD, and in with the NEW (RIGHT) so we can SAVE AMERICA from these out-of-touch narcissists. Are you with me?

SUPPORT KARI LAKE NOW >>

I'm telling you right now that I am a strong conservative who can get things done. I'm the transformative leadership we need. But you don't need to just take my word for it.    I'm endorsed by: President Donald Trump Governor Ron DeSantis Rudy Giuliani Marjorie Taylor Green Sheriff Joe Arpaio Richard Grenell  General Michael Flynn, and more...

JOIN PRESIDENT TRUMP: SUPPORT KARI LAKE >>

Together, we're going to unite to solve the problems America is facing right now. And trust me... there's a lot to do.  But I know I can make it happen because I've always been able to do anything I set my mind to. And that's not going to stop now!

I grew up in Iowa. There's not a lot to do there, but that's where I honed my work ethic.    I worked hard. I learned to fight. I gained that fighting spirit the old establishment GOP never had - that's what makes me a part of the NEW RIGHT.    I developed that backbone of steel - that "BDE" that President Trump and Governor Ron DeSantis have. And frankly, that we want all of our elected leaders to have.   Someone even recently told me "Kari, you're going to be the DeSantis of the West."    Other than being called "Trump in a Dress - which is my favorite compliment of all - that is the greatest compliment you could pay me.   To me, that means that you know when you elect me, you're going to get someone who fights for you every single day.    We are going to be so effective in Arizona.

SUPPORT KARI LAKE >>

Arthur, I promise you this, as the governor of Arizona, I will be the biggest pain in the ass Joe Biden's ever experienced.    I will unite with conservatives across the country to protect Arizona from this out-of-control federal government. We will save our states and return the power to WE, THE PEOPLE, where it belongs.   This is our moment to make it happen.

Arthur, let's not forget that the race for Governor of Arizona is one of the most important fights in the entire country.   It's our chance to prove to corporate media that we are stronger than the lies.    It's our chance to prove to the establishment elite that the NEW RIGHT is here to stay.   And it's our chance to SECURE OUR BORDER, defend our small businesses, defeat inflation, end leftist indoctrination and get our nation back on track.   Though the results took longer than they should have, Arizonans who have been forgotten by the establishment already delivered a POLITICAL EARTHQUAKE in the GOP primary. We won every single county in Arizona!   Now, all eyes are on us.    It's game time.   And I need you on my side.   Will you support our momentum?

Now, I don't care if you're with the Democrat Party, the Independent Party, the Republican Party, the Pizza Party, or the Pool Party - our policies are going to help every American.   We have to stand together and defeat the left so we can save America.    I hope that you will chip in now to support my campaign for Governor of Arizona.

SAVE AMERICA: SUPPORT KARI LAKE >>

Sincerely,

Kari Lake Candidate for Arizona Governor
