Is Proposition 50 a slam dunk?

Is Proposition 50 a slam dunk? California media reports suggest so. However, certain tells may indicate otherwise.


The biggest tell is the Democrats’ use of President Barack Hussein Obama (BHO), Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), and even Senator Elizabeth “Pocahontas” Warren in their latest commercials.. Bringing in their heavy hitters suggests a genuine concern that voters may plan to reject Prop 50.

Here’s the truth: Prop. 50 is nothing but even more absurd gerrymandering of districts to add five more Democrat congressional seats. This, to counter the Texas Republicans doing the same, in the Lone Star State—at least that is the justification. The ads would have you believe Newsom and Democrats are doing this to protect Democracy and resist President Donald Trump.

Uh-huh. What the Democrats are really trying to prevent is their House of Representatives numbers from shrinking further.

Gerrymandering has been going on for decades, especially in blue states and especially in California. Republicans regularly win 40 percent of the vote in the Golden State, yet out of 52 districts, only nine percent are won by the GOP. This 17 percent underrepresentation is because of gerrymandering.

Prop 50 would take away redistricting from the so-called non-partisan Citizen Redistricting Commission and transfer this power, “temporarily,” to the Democrat legislature. Newsom and the Dems believe voters are stupid enough to think they will relinquish this authority when Trump is stopped. LOL!

Apparently, internal polling must be showing the voters aren’t totally on board for this BS, hence the presence of BHO, AOC, and “Pocahantas” Warren. The problem is that BHO has no coattails. His endorsements have no pull. The latest example was Barry Hussein failing to shame black men into voting for Kamala. How did that work out? The plain truth is that an ever-growing number of Americans dislike Obama.

AOC–to put it kindly– is a mental lightweight, and “Pocahontas” Warren is a shrill liar. Trump dubbed her Pocahontas because she lied for years about claiming Native American heritage to receive academic promotions.

Let us not forget Newsom’s incompetence as governor for two terms, most recently during the Palisades Fire. Remember this viral image of Newsom caught lying to an evacuated homeowner, claiming he was on the phone with the president?

Governor Newsom caught lying to Palisades Fire victim.

And who could forget his hypocrisy during the pandemic when the media infamously caught him dining with friends at an exclusive restaurant while the rest of California was locked down?

Governor Newsom dining at the exclusive French Laundry in 2020

Considering this disingenuous and shameless bunch, are most Californians really falling for their so-called defense of Democracy? I’m hoping recent trends make this seem unlikely.

Trump flipped eight additional California counties red in the 2024 election, and Republicans are surging with voter registration in the Golden State. Republicans gained over 46,000 new voters statewide, while Democrats lost over 30,000. Hispanics and blacks also turned out in record numbers and voted for Trump. Does this sound like Prop 50 is a slam dunk? Sure, history has shown many Californians tend to be brainless voters, but are they suddenly believing these serial liars are telling the truth?

All the Dems have is making this election against Trump when, except for Democrat wailing and gnashing of teeth, voters are seeing a President trying to re-establish the rule of law in America, and especially in blue states.

The dirty little secret is that the Democrats have made Republicans impotent in this state by gerrymandering. What they are calling for now is wringing out more redistricting to the point of absurdity.

Prop 50 has nothing to do with preserving Democracy in the classic sense, but instead has everything to do with slowing the will of Americans who want this party out of power for at least a generation.

Key Takeaways

  • Democrats use high-profile endorsers like Obama, AOC, and Warren, indicating concerns about voter rejection of Prop 50.
  • Prop 50 aims to increase Democrat congressional seats through gerrymandering, countering similar actions by Texas Republicans.
  • The proposition seeks to transfer redistricting power from a non-partisan commission to the Democrat legislature temporarily.
  • Gavin Newsom’s past failures and the political landscape show signs of growing Republican support in California, contrary to Democrats’ claims.
  • Ultimately, Prop 50 focuses on preserving Democrat power rather than genuinely protecting Democracy.

Trump calls out LA Mayor Karen Bass over wildfire recovery delays

This is why President Trump is a leader and Democrats are profiles in failure. Trump calls out LA Mayor Karen Bass over wildfire recovery delays during a live press conference.

In her best liberalese, Bass touted how city and county officials are partnering up to streamline the bureaucracy for desperate homeowners. “We’re doing everything we can , slashing regulations…so you can get rebuilding asap. ”

Bass cited hazardous materials concern as a delay for clearing the lots. That’s code for hazardous waste/environmental cleanup, which means companies bidding, leading to longer delays. Trump, because he’s a builder, immediately called B.S. Watch:

So what is the timeline Mayor Bass? Is it 18 months , six months or what? Trump told Bass and the press, several people told him rebuilding could not start for 18 months, which she vehemently denied.

Watch the video again . Did you notice how Mayor Bass left herself wiggle room with her answers not committing to definite timeline?

She then gives the answer that justifies liberal mission creep and every extra added expense: “We’re going to move as fast as we can, but we want you to be safe.”

Funny how this worry for “safety” comes after revelations of poor forest mitigation, lack of controlled burns and making sure reservoirs and fire hydrants were filled. Now safety is a concern when people are itching to clean up and begin the rebuilding process?

That call for safety is how liberalism infantilizes people and takes away their inborn desire for self-reliance and self-sufficiency. Trump calling for the common sense solution of government getting out of the way is a sharp contrast to the Democrat mantra of government will take care of you.

Paganism the cause of So Cal wildfires?

Was paganism the cause of the So Cal wildfires? A valid question, but with an obvious answer to anyone spiritually discerned.

As of this writing, the Palisades fire and Eaton Fires stand at 31 and 65 percent containment, respectively. There have been 27 deaths , nearly 40 thousand acres burned and nearly 13 thousand structures burned or damaged. The Hurst, and Kenneth fires are 100 percent contained, while the Auto Fire is 85 percent contained.

Its widely accepted government and bureaucratic failure increased the level of destruction. However, it’s also easy to discern paganism played a vital role in this disaster.

Check out this definition of paganism and tell me how this doesn’t apply to California , if not national Democrat politics. 

Paganism is an ancient belief system that has been around for thousands of years. It is a polytheistic religion that is based on the worship of nature and the cycles of the natural world. Pagans believe in the interconnectedness of all things and strive to live in harmony with the natural world.

Paganism is an umbrella term used to describe a diverse set of spiritual and religious beliefs that are based on the worship of nature and the Earth. It is a broad term that encompasses many different belief systems, including Wicca, Druidry, Asatru, and other forms of polytheism.

What can we glean from this ?

Pagans worship the creation and not the Creator, and so do most liberals. Nature is divine, (not God) and the source of all life according to pagans and many liberals. Finally, pagans and liberals share the belief that human life is one with nature , interconnected with trees, plants, and animals.

Most notably, pagans practice polytheism, a belief in multiple gods rather than one Supreme Being. Each culture’s gods are equally divine and no culture is better than another. This appears to be the Democrat foundation of multiculturalism as well as its denigration of Christianity.

Reading between the lines, the only laws and creeds that matter to pagans are those that protect nature and the planet. Inherent in this protection, idolatry.

Because of paganism, millions of acre feet of water are diverted from cities and agriculture into the ocean; all to save the Delta Smelt. And thanks to paganism, forests are overgrown and hillsides full of dried brush. This, because clearing these areas are not a priority to Democrat officials who demonstrate, by their actions, that nature should grow unchecked.

While it’s obvious worshipping nature, or the planet, is idolatry, so is worshipping race, gender, sexual orientation and even, abortion. You can see where this is going.

California has had a Democrat supermajority for over a decade. Or you can put it another way, California has had a pagan supermajority for over a decade.

Leftist/pagan policies have cheapened the sanctity of life, enabled lawlessness, driven up energy prices, gas prices and of course, taxes because the priority is amassing power, not serving the people.

At the same time, the state has advertised itself as an abortion destination and sanctuary state, and designated (until recently) shoplifting as low-priority crime. A culture of death, and lawlessness, are all part of paganism.

The pagans in charge are even trying to force electric vehicles on the public; going so far as to ban the sale of gas vehicles in California come 2035. All of this to lord over people’s lives under the guise of reducing so-called green house gases, a.k.a carbon dioxide.

Thanks to paganism, the cost of living in California is the highest of all 5o states despite being the wealthiest of state of the union. Why? Planet worship means no new power plants, the destruction of dams and little to no energy exploration.

That’s part of the problem. The other part is governments burdening taxpayers to foot the bill for housing, feeding , providing health and welfare benefits to illegal immigrants and paying for the homeless. As I have written previously, California has spent nearly 25 billion dollars on the homeless. Are you seeing a pattern here?

Pagans do not care about people, they care only for whatever keeps the empowered and wealthy. They see themselves as ruling rather than serving the people.

By its very nature, paganism is anti-God , therefore it cannot competently govern. It’s plainly stated in the in Proverbs 9:10 (NKJV):

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

California’s Democrat-dominated politics are living examples what happens when there is no fear of God: wisdom is far from their decisions and therefore, chaos ensues.

California has wildfires literally every year. It’s not like politicians do not see them coming. Yet, the state, rather than clearing brush and other dead vegetation, allows it to grow unchecked. This speaks to willful ignorance, incompetence, and negligence.

Pagans are simply ill-equipped to run a state or city and are failures when disasters hit. The problem is their policies may exacerbate the damage of any disaster.

Is paganism the cause of So Cal wildfires? The preponderance of evidence surely lies in the affirmative.

Introducing… atmospheric rivers

Introducing… atmospheric rivers. You may have heard the term before, but now the media has decided you’re really going to learn about it.

As of this writing, Southern California is experiencing the second of a three to four day pelting of winter storms caused by atmospheric rivers; a relatively new meteorological phenomenon. I must admit, until the last couple of weeks , this term has flown below my radar.

But , boy is the media reporting at breathless pitch. “Atmospheric Rivers!” ”Dangerous driving conditions!” “Flash flood Warnings!” “Strong winds knocking down trees!” ”Historic rainfall!”

And right on cue, state of emergency declarations issued at the beginning of the SoCal onslaught, warned people, out of an abundance of caution, not to travel during severe weather. This news conference by LA Mayor Karen Bass is cued at 2:05. Listen to 2:42:

Courtesy: KTLA

I’m sure Mayor Bass cares for her constituents. However, didn’t this news conference come off as just a bit condescending? 

A reader sent me this picture they snapped while driving before the first drop rain drop hit their area.

We need a sign telling us to avoid travel? Don’t most people make the decision of basing their travel on weather conditions without prompting by government?

But now, introducing… atmospheric rivers.

Apparently, the term has been floating in the atmosphere since the 1990’s , when it was first coined by a pair of researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. A Bay Area news outlet explains what an atmospheric river is in this video prompted at :20

“Long flowing bands of water vapor that move through the sky. They can be just 250 miles wide and extend over 1000 miles in length.”

I am no expert, but this sounds like a description of clouds.

‘The origin of these vapor rivers can be found in the warm waters of the tropical pacific… the warm water …evaporates… that water vapor carried by the wind is the key element and has the potential to produce excessive rain and snow…”

Evaporation of ocean water… isn’t this how rain forms ?

Granted, the tropical origin contributes to the familiar term “Pineapple Express” which has been a weather phenomenon for as long as I can remember. But now the experts tell us a “Pineapple Express” is a type of atmospheric river.

The earliest article I found, in my research, was from 2014 and over the years, scientists have written how atmospheric rivers can be a blessing and a curse.

As a blessing, meteorologists say the phenomenon has , in some years accounted for up to 50 percent of the rainfall totals in California. But the curse, according to meteorological research is the torrential rains and damaging wind gusts associated with atmospheric rivers.

Ok.

Adverse events have accompanied “Pineapple Express” events in years past. Like the sun rising in the east and setting in the west, certain areas are just prone to floods and flash floods. The same goes for mudslides happening in the usual foothill and burn areas. These are common occurrences in Southern California during periods of heavy rain.

Courtesy: BNN

Usually the media inundates us with breathless “storm-watch” reporting, showing viewers the aftermath of flooding, toppled trees, downed power lines and morning commuters on flooded streets. Viewers have seen those images with this storm, but with a different mantra.

Now the media chorus is “atmospheric river this” and “atmospheric river that.” Going back to my research , the bulk of the press regarding AR’s has been 2024 and 2023. Is this a building narrative by the media?

When every news outlet is saying the same term, that is a narrative.  A narrative is when the media wants you to think or believe in a certain way. What does the media want us to think about atmospheric rivers?

Let’s be honest, “storm-watch” has become a hackneyed term, a tired cliche. Atmospheric river …well… that has a fearful ring to it , especially when climate change is brought into the equation.

Just do an internet search. You will find many stories about AR’s inevitably declaring how climate change could make these weather events much worse. That, of course, is supposed to scare you.

Maybe ginning up more fear about climate change explains this intense desire to introduce the public to atmospheric rivers? Or maybe atmospheric rivers are a very real , potentially destructive force of nature that deserve more research? You be the judge.

California: God-forsaken or a mission field?

Hey.

I’m one of many Christians still living in California. I ask the question, Is California a God-forsaken place or a vast mission field?

Los Angeles

Yeah, Commiefornia, home of “LA LA Land”, “Hollyweird”, “San Franpsycho”, “Suckramento”, “Beserkly”, and the “People’s Republic of Santa Monica”. These leftist enclaves dominate California politics and have demonstrated they want nothing to do with God based on their assembly bills, propositions, and local ordinances.

California doesn’t just have a Democrat-controlled legislature, it has a wacko communist-socialist legislature that runs roughshod over a feckless and emasculated Republican Party. As a result, Cali is the embodiment of wasteful spending (bullet train to nowhere) excessive taxes, stunning homelessness, rising crime, and a crumbling education system.

Courtesy Epoch Times

Yep, the state is a leftist cauldron of madness. Corrupt authoritarians are free to indulge their inner communist with little to no opposition. Based on this reality, one would be justified saying the state is God-forsaken and certainly not a mission field.

So why would any Christian choose to stay in California? The simple answer: this is where God has placed us for now.

Grandchildren to live nearer to, out-of-state job opportunities , and retirement, these are some of the reasons my closest Christian brothers and sisters have left California. They are now living in states such Texas,Arizona and Florida.

Now I don’t fault them. In fact, I couldn’t be happier for them. I believe God has led my brethren according to His will and purposes, just as He has placed me and other God-fearing, Bible-believing Christians in California, for now

God-fearing and Bible-believing are important distinctions because when I speak of Christians, I am not referring to liberal denominations given over to doctrines of demons. I’m talking about those lovers of Christ who are ridiculed and despised because they believe the Bible is the inerrant Word of God that is just as worthy now as when each book was first written.

Because these “dangerous” Christians continue to populate this state, I do not believe it is God-forsaken. God has not completely abandoned California, because He promises never to leave or forsake his people.

For the LORD will not forsake his people; he will not abandon his heritage; for justice will return to the righteous and all the upright in heart will follow it. –Psalm 94:14-15 (English Standard Version)

God-fearing, Bible-believing Christians are the LORD’s people and His heritage. It is written that He will never abandon us and that justice will return to the righteous. This applies no matter where He has placed us, even in California.

Corrupt religious and civic officials, amoral politicians, high taxation, and the persecution of Christians have been the norm in this fallen world. Yet, the gospel of Jesus Christ changed lives then and continues to do so today.

The Christian church growth is exploding in far more hostile countries such as Iran and China and the continent of Africa. Why not California?

I believe California is a vast mission field that Christians shouldn’t write off. That the state looks insurmountable, as far as Godlessness goes, is every reason to testify about Jesus.

When is God most glorified? When the odds appear wholly in the enemy’s favor. Check out the parting of the Red Sea, the fall of Jericho, the story of David and Goliath, and the story of Gideon for some Biblical examples. For a more contemporary example, read about Israel in the Six-Day War of 1967.

Preaching the Christian gospel amid countries dominated by the hostile and murderous forces of Communism, Islam, and other pagan religions will drive even the weakest Christian to his knees in daily or even hourly fervent prayer. When a believer sees the growth of the body of Christ, despite intimidation, murder, imprisonment, and other terrorist tactics, that is a testament to the glory of God.

What’s the worse we face in California? Politicians use ordinances against us, people slandering us as bigots, severed friendships, bad press, and maybe the occasional act of vandalism. No threats of death, beatings, or imprisonment; just people hating on us. Maybe we got this if we make up our minds to step up and obey whatever God is calling us to do.

Remember, nothing can stand against the power of God carried out through the Son, Jesus. Not even the liberal leftist mecca that is California.

Califonia is not God-forsaken as long as God -fearing Christians live here. For now, this state is a vast mission field.
