Last week the CA state Supreme Court made quite a decision. It ruled, unanimously, that Proposition 57, a proposition that allowed for early parole for sexual predators, didn’t live up to the hype. Governor Brown claimed sexual predators would not be allowed parole. We argued we thought it would. Turns out, we were right.

Regarding vaccine distribution: in short, it’s not going well. The state website used to complete registration, CALVAX.org , has been crashing rather routinely. Additionally, it doesn’t tell you spots aren’t available until AFTER you’ve submitted all your information. Frustrating and a waste of time for those trying to get registered.

Many of our restaurants, and the JOBS they provide, will not survive being forced to close for indeterminate time periods. Here’s what one restaurant owner shared... As I walk into the grocery store with 30 other people at the same time, I think about my restaurant which allows parties of 6 total, and meticulously spaces out reservations by 10 minutes ensuring guests that aren’t from the same party do not arrive at the same time.

Tomorrow is THE big day.

The day the Governor must defend his lockdown of our state in a court of law.

Here’s the deal: The lawsuit is intended to issue a “cease and desist” on all of Newsom’s executive orders as well as the entirety of the lockdown. This doesn’t mean covid is gone or that we won’t continue to take appropriate health measures.

Regarding ballot harvesting in California, since this practice seems to have caught everyone's attention, I'd like to provide information about who can and cannot engage in this practice, and how they can do so: Non-citizens are permitted to collect ballots and as long as they are not compensated on a per ballot basis.

I see the Secretary of State isn’t happy about republicans using the ballot harvesting law that democrats passed. Allow me to clarify what the law allows: A vote by mail ballot collected by a ballot harvester does NOT have to include the name or signature of the harvester on the identification envelope in order to be valid.

I’m seeing lots of inane chatter from democrats today about how half of CA’s forest are federal lands, and therefore that’s where all the blame should go regarding our fires. Nonsense. Allow me to explain... Radical environmentalist groups have destroyed our forests with the help of the spineless legislators who refuse to stand up to them, for fear of losing the coveted “A” rating.

California’s energy demands cannot be met with 100% solar energy. California makes enough solar power for 7.8 M homes. That’s not enough for every home, much less businesses. That solar power provides only 20% of the state’s need. Also, Mt. Diablo nuclear plant, which is clean alternative energy, is being shuttered. Mt. Diablo made enough power for 1.7M homes.

“Tool box killer" Lawrence Bittaker and partner Roy Norris called their van "Murder Mack", it had no windows so they could hide the young girls they kidnapped as they cruised up and down Pacific Coast Highway in the first half of 1979.#nojustice MM 16-year-old Cindy Schaeffer was picked up by the pair near Redondo Beach. Norris forced into the van, duct taped her mouth and bound her arms and legs. Bittaker drove her to the San Gabriel Mountains where both men raped her.
