Lockdown Don: "I Shut Down the Country"

Donald Trump is his own ad against his renomination:

‼️WATCH! One and a half nauseating minutes of Donald Trump taking full credit for the lockdowns.

We cannot ignore the fact that he shut down the country. He gave into the COVID-19 hysteria, he never relented. He allowed Anthony Fauci to call all the shots. 

He slammed and shamed governors who opposed the lockdowns or who opened up early. Granted, much of the worst damage was done by blue state governors (many of whom Donald Trump has praised, by the way), but international companies like the cruise industry and other industries were horribly impacted by his perverse, stupid, vile decision to lock down the country following the COVID-19 outbreaks. 

 Dump Trump.

Trump Said "Lock Her Up!" What Happened to That?

In 2016, Donald Trump campaigned on pursuing charges against Hillary Clinton for erasing those 30,000 emails. Then in 2017, he reneged on that promise:

BIG receipts bomb right here. Trump promised to lock up Hillary! In the end, he gave her awards and admitted - it was all a political scam he was pulling: "That plays great, before the election." pic.twitter.com/1GwQb1DhB7

What happened to that promise? Why did Trump renege? The fact that Trump backed off from this core campaign promise is a big part of the reason this country and the rule of law is collapsing now. 

 If Crooked Hillary could get away with violating federal law and dishonoring the American public, what would stop other Democrats from doing the same thing? The Democrat Party does not hold back from persecuting their political enemies via trumped-up charges (pun intended). Trump needed to go after Hillary Clinton.

And he didn't. 

 He didn't lock her up, and now they are seeking to lock him up.

Save California: Two Bad Bills Stalled (So Far)

 

Hi Arthur, Thank you if you've left one or more messages against one or both of the worst anti-parent bills in Sacramento. So far, despite the California State Senate returning this week, no votes have occurred on AB 665 and AB 957. So please keep calling! Tonight, Friday night, and this weekend are strategic times to leave anonymous voicemail messages standing up for dads and moms!

Remember how horrid these Democrat-authored bills are: AB 665 would eliminate existing parental consent before children as young as 12 years old can be taken away to a “residential shelter” and given drugs (“mental health treatment”). And despite the deceptive claims of the author and sponsor, there's neither a "homeless" precondition nor any parental notification that's enforceable or guaranteed. AB 665 is the emancipation of 12-year-olds, equipping the Establishment Left to take kids from parents for any reason. AB 957 would instruct family court judges to disfavor parents who have moral objections to their child “transitioning,” and don’t “affirm” a biological boy claiming to a "girl," or a biological girl claiming to be a "boy." Even the Democrat-control Legislative Counsel's office says AB 957 regards a "parent’s affirmation of the child’s gender identity or gender expression" as essential to "the health, safety, and welfare of the child." This bill would mean moral or religious parents in child custody cases, who go with reality, would lose! Arthur, can you become an armchair activist? Here in mid-August, SaveCalifornia.com needs your assistance to generate a flood of opposition calls! It's simple and successful when you leave anonymous messages using our suggested script. Please make your brief calls between 7pm and 8am weekdays, and all weekend.

TIMING ADVICE: The California State Senate will return on Monday, August 21 at 2pm. Please leave your anonymous messages for the deciding votes prior to Monday 8am. But for your own state senator, call directly and identify yourself when you call before Monday's 2pm session during business hours (Friday 9a-5p and Monday 9a-2p).

LGBT Hate: Man Convicted of "Gender Violence" for Calling a Man, a Man

 

Salma Luévano is a man. Sue me. August 15, 2023 Dear Arthur, A man named Salma Luévano is a man. He is a national legislator in Mexico. He is a man. He has always been male. He is male now. He thinks he is a woman. He is deluded. And now his delusion is leading to the punishment of another man, a good man named Rodrigo Iván Cortés who was a Congressman in Mexico and whose picture you see above. Rodrigo is a faithful Catholic and a family man. The crime Rodrigo has been convicted of is referring to Luévano as a man. You read that right. Rodrigo, who is a friend of C-Fam’s, has been convicted of telling the truth about the sex of another man. His conviction was just upheld by the Mexican high court. He has been convicted of “gender-based violence” for calling a man a man. This is outrageous. Consider this. Rodrigo’s Tweets referring to Luévano as a man came as a response to the anti-Catholic bigotry of Luévano who mocked Catholic teaching on human sexuality as “hate speech.” This is the world we live in now. This is the world the sexual left wants to impose on all of us, including on you and me. They would love to convict me of hate crimes for calling Luévano a man. Luévano is a man. He is not a woman. He is psychologically confused. I dare them to come after me for saying this. Here’s the thing. C-Fam fights this kind of thing every working day. We have fought the sexual left every working day for 26 years. We will never allow such a thing in the UN context. We would fight this to the very end. In fact, we helped to negotiate a hard law treaty that states “gender” is “men and women in the context of society.” Again, this is a hard law that established the International Criminal Court. The Biden administration and the European Union are working hard to change this definition. There is a new treaty about to be negotiated on Crimes Against Humanity where they want to say “gender” is a social construct and therefore is completely elastic. And they want to punish those of us who say Luévano is a man, just as they are punishing Rodrigo. Help us fight the sexual left at the UN. Often, we are all alone. There are only six of us at C-Fam. Donate Can you help us right now so we can continue our fight against this wicked agenda? Can you afford $100? $50. Help us right now and make sure there are no more persecutions of faithful Catholics who stand against the gender agenda. Yours in Christ, Austin Ruse President/C-Fam Publisher/Friday Fax Image Credit: ADF International

Deace Endorses DeSantis

Steve Deace makes the case for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for President. He did not hold back his preference for the Florida governor for the last few months. But this time, he went all out and endorsed his candidacy. He gives a compelling set of explanations below.

Thank you, @SteveDeaceShow. @RonDeSantis is honored to have your endorsement!

“I have never seen anyone that — when it comes to the issues that are going to decide the future for our children and grandchildren — has more knowledge, more willingness, more resume in understanding… pic.twitter.com/mHyT7Xzctt — Casey DeSantis (@CaseyDeSantis) August 11, 2023

What I find really helpful is that Deace calls out Trump for going after Christie, yet also pointing out that it was Trump who revived Christie's political career by reaching out to him for advice on whom to appoint to head the FBI. You can't bash the guy on one hand, then hide the fact that you had reached out to him for help staffing the executive departments in Washington DC. That is all wrong. 

 And fundamentally, that is one of the biggest problems with Trump. He is easy to flatter, and enemies of his agenda get into the wings of power and undermine his agenda just by flattering him. And Trump has not learned from these mistakes. I have had enough of this. I also liked that Deace pointed out how we need someone to DO the MAGA, not just market or message the MAGA. That's a big deal. That's a huge problem on the Trump side. It has been all talk, no walk, no accomplishment, and he did not lead the GOP into restored victory in 2022. He has sided with the Swamp more, not less, since he left the White House, and most of the candidates he endorsed in 2022 were going to win anyway, since it was a conservative field, or they lost. DeSantis has accomplished immense policy victories over and over. 

When Deace shared that DeSantis should go after Disney's government perks and set-asides in the state, then DeSantis actually did it, I felt that Deace was reading my mind, too. DeSantis is creative and effective with government power. We need that kind of thinking in Washington DC, and we need that kind of bold resolve, as well.

Muratsuchi Doesn't Know the South Bay, Confuses Manhattan Beach and Palos Verdes

 

Asm. Al Muratsuchi is inviting Manhattan Beach residents to a Community Town Hall in Rolling Hills Estates.

Really.

Who is in charge of his website? Does this guy have any shame?

Does anyone working in Sacramento have any competence at all?

LGBT Activists Fear DeSantis, Not Trump

LGBT Activists are targeting DeSantis. They are not going after Trump, because they are not afraid of Trump. They know that he has caved on the important cultural issues. They also know that he is easier to defeat in 2024. Check out this LGBT protester in South Carolina, and see how Gov. DeSantis handled him:

Left-wing protesters for gender insanity in schools get wrecked by Ron DeSantis, and the crowd leaps to their feet.

Gary Bauer: Fight for Normalcy

 The Left’s War On Normalcy

 
A Fox News analyst noted last night that several current and potential candidates for the 2024 GOP nomination are running on the idea that they will “restore normalcy to our public discourse,” something many Americans desperately want. 
 
I want that, too.  But I know that there will be no normalcy unless we surrender.  That’s when the yelling will stop – when we stop resisting the left’s insanity.
 
The left is not going to abandon its demands that we subsidize abortion up to the moment of birth.  And I’m not going to give in to that.
 
The left is not going to abandon its demands that radical Marxists indoctrinate our children with our tax dollars in our public schools.  And I’m not going to give in to that.
 
The left is not going to abandon its demands that it gets to control what we can say and think.  And I’m not going to give in to that!
 
Are you?
 
But until you kneel, normalcy will not happen. 
 
Normalcy returned to war-torn Europe only after the Nazis were defeated.  Normalcy will only return to America when the anti-life, anti-family, anti-religious liberty, anti-freedom of speech neo-Marxists are defeated.
 
Anyone who wants to get back to normal must be willing to fight for it.  If they’re not up to the fight, then they’re halfway to surrendering, whether they realize it or not.

Stop Transgenderism in Family Courts: Call CA State Senate to Stop AB 957

 

Hi Arthur, The very immoral, anti-parent bill, AB 957, on the floor of the California State Senate, CAN be defeated with your help today, Friday night, and this weekend. Because when the Senate returns the afternoon of Monday, August 14, you don't want them voting on it! As written, AB 957 is a very bad bill instructing family court judges to disfavor parents who have moral objections to their child "transitioning," and don't "affirm." Bottom line, support the biological truth and get your children taken from you! Grasp that even the Democrat-run Legislative Counsel's Office has described AB 957 as: "This bill, for purposes of this provision, would include a parent’s affirmation of the child’s gender identity or gender expression as part of the health, safety, and welfare of the child." So, as amended July 3, this radically-bad bill continues to require "a parent's affirmation of the child's gender identity or gender expression." Don't "affirm" your own child's transsexual delusion -- don't get custody! This is about as anti-parent as it gets.

The Democrat author of AB 957, Lori Wilson (shown above; see her Solano County district) claims her anti-parent, anti-free-speech, anti-religious-freedom, bill is "essential" because all "trans" children need to be "affirmed." And despite Wilson publicly claiming to be a "Christian," she ignores what the Bible says about transsexuality being being a sin. What's the best strategy to stop AB 957 on the floor of the California Senate? STEP 1: Call your own state senator -- at both the district and Capitol offices -- and identify yourself, on Friday, August 11, from 9am to 5pm. Leave your message with a staffer or via voicemail. Say something like, "I’m calling to urge Senator ________ to oppose AB 957. The amended bill fails to protect religious parents and violates Senate Judiciary Committee members' demand for religious accommodation. Don't punish otherwise good parents by taking away their kids. Oppose the amended AB 957!" STEP 2: Call the 4 Democrat state senators who demanded religious accommodation in AB 957 in the Senate Judiciary Committee on June 13. When you call anonymously and after-hours (Friday after 7pm and all weekend), quote their own words back to them and call them a liar if they don't stand up and oppose this anti-parent bill. Tell them, "In committee, you passed AB 957 on the condition that it be amended to accommodate religious parents. Well, the July 3rd amendment doesn't protect them at all. You need to stand up to oppose this bad bill. If you don't, you lied about it in committee!" Senator Ben Allen 916-651-4024 | 310-318-6994: "I certainly want to make sure that just because someone is religious, for example, and there’s nothing that they do as a parent that would impact the health and welfare and mental well-being of the child — they accept the child’s decisions but they struggle with it themselves – I would certainly want to make sure that person wasn’t dinged under a custody dispute in the context of this bill…I would like the author and the chair to spend some time working together on tightening up some of the language so that we can make sure that a parent — for whom we have no concern about impacting the mental health of the child, but who may have a personal, perhaps a religious, conflict with gender fluidity — wouldn’t be dinged if we don’t have a concern about their ability to be a good parent to that child." Senator Anna Caballero 916-651-4014 | 559-264-3070: “I want to encourage you to continue the discussion, and I reserve the right not to support it on the floor if it doesn’t change — ’cause I think there’s challenges with exactly what does it mean. And I don’t think we want to send something to the court that causes confusion or wrong decisions.” Senator Angelique Ashby 916-651-4008 | 916-651-1529: “I’m going to support you today, Assemblywoman Wilson, but I’m going to join my colleagues in asking you to work with Senator Umberg as Judiciary Chair on adding some clarifying language.” Senator Tom Umberg (Judiciary Committee Chair) 916-651-4034 | 714-558-3785: “We will continue to work to make sure that the bill, as interpreted by the court, will be done in a way that is consistent with your view and our view of public policy…We will continue to work to make sure that — Senator Allen’s point — that if you have a parent who — perhaps he has a religious belief that is not consistent with someone wishing to transition but is unconditionally loving and tolerant, that that doesn’t preclude that parent having custodial rights. Is that your understanding also?” STEP 3: Call anonymously 7pm to 8am and all weekend to the deciding-vote Democrats. In your afterhours voicemails, tell them, "I’m calling to urge you to oppose AB 957. The amended bill fails to protect religious parents and violates Senate Judiciary Committee members' demand for religious accommodation. Don't punish otherwise good parents by taking away their kids. Oppose the amended AB 957!" Leave strategic, anonymous, afterhours voicemails for up to 21 of them: Ben Allen 916-651-4024 | 310-318-6994 Marie Alvarado-Gil 916-651-4004 | 916-933-8680 Bob Archuleta 916-651-4030 | 562-406-1001 Angelique Ashby 916-651-4008 | 916-651-1529 Catherine Blakespear 916-651-4038 | 760-642-0809 Anna Caballero 916-651-4014 | 559-264-3070 Bill Dodd 916-651-4003 | 707-224-1990 María Elena Durazo 916-651-4026 | 213-483-9300 Steve Glazer 916-651-4007 | 925-754-1461 Lena Gonzalez 916-651-4033 | 323-277-4560 Melissa Hurtado 916-651-4016 | 661-395-2620 Monique Limón 916-651-4019 | 805-988-1940 Dave Min 916-651-4037 | 949-223-5472 Steve Padilla 916-651-4018 | 760-335-3442 Anthony Portantino 916-651-4025 | 818-409-0400 Richard Roth 916-651-4031 | 951-680-6750 Susan Rubio 916-651-4022 | 909-469-1110 Lola Smallwood-Cuevas 916-651-4028 | 213-745-6656 Henry Stern 916-651-4027 | 818-876-3352 Tom Umberg 916-651-4034 | 714-558-3785 Aisha Wahab 916-651-4410 | 510-794-3900
