What’s happening in California isn’t politics in any conventional sense. No debate is underway, and no policy choices are being hashed out. We’re in the land beyond. In Our Democracy™, declarations are made, and then they are to be received in a spirit of quiet submission. Your failure to submit is disallowed, and the reason it’s been disallowed is that it’s been disallowed. Were it allowed, it would not be disallowed, but it is, in fact, disallowed, so therefore it is not allowed, you see? All “political” discussion is a circle, eating its own tail. I’ve been trying to figure out how to explain this, but the
"When I was seven years old, my mom told me she'd disown me if I were gay. Unfortunately at that time I didn't have a compassionate blue-haired teacher with a minor in Gender Studies to explain to me that because I liked wearing my mom's lipstick and panties while lip-synching to George Michael in front of a mirror, I was actually a girl born in a boy's body. But now we members of the California Legislature, blessed with "Science" and "critical consciousness", are here to help young gay boys like I was once to achieve their True Authentic Self™ with the help of a new name, new pronouns, new wardrobe, plus a lifelong regime of hormones and surgeries, all paid for by the State—and with your uncool parents banned by law from knowing! Now young gay boys will never have to feel the pain and shame of being gay, because there will be no more gay boys, just Trans Women, who are exactly like women in every way except much better at sports. That'll show those evil Republican bigots!"
California is a leading indicator, but I think the underlying ideology is accepted by government officials in other blue states, maybe all of them. It’s the case here in PA. The ideology rests on the fundamental belief that government has at least an equal interest in raising children and instilling “accepted” values. Even the California legislator who had the audacity to speak against the bill makes it seem as though it’s up to the government to decide how much to involve parents in the education and upbringing of their own children. They assume they have power unless you, the parent, assert a countervailing right. Then maybe they consider your rights as a parent.
The ideology is accepted by ALL Democrats holding elected office. There are no excpetions in Congress, no exceptions among Democrat governors, and at best a tiny handful among the thousands of Democrat state legislators (mostly in red states). Any Democrat who dares to dissent is primaried and removed. Texas Democrat House member Shawn Nicole Thierry is the latest victim of this.
The New Jersey Attorney General (a Democrat) sues public school districts that have a policy of informing parents of their kid's social gender transitiion, as does the California Attorney General.
Every blue state will follow this precendent. The votes of Democrats in the state legislatures will be unanimously in favor.
“The ideology…government has at least an equal interest…instilling “accepted” values.”
There are 2 tectonic forces at work:
1) Progressives believe that no one has the right to make “bad” decisions. Whether it’s carbon, child rearing, COVID masking, clot shots, or whatever, it’s not that government has an equal interest in these outcomes, is has the ONLY interest. The world is divided into believers, blasphemers, and overt enemies.
2) At the core of Progressive thought are the Critical Theory objectives (must destroy society in order to rebuild a socialist paradise) of the Frankfurt School, Marcuse and Gramsci, the last of whom posited that socialism MUST replace Christianity as the philosophical basis for Western civilization.
The people who unknowingly support these objectives are betting that they’ll be eaten last. They are the “speaker” in Martin Niemöller’s famous poem.
My kids are out here school and I don’t have much information as to what’s happening here in PA, so are PA schools now keeping secrets from parents here too?
CA schools take girls from schools to abortion clinics during the school day and back to school upon completion without parental notification. Known case to me; one of many.
How does the average Californian get here? Here where they endure one of the highest state tax rates in the nation, have Patrick Bateman for a governor and are now subject to the psychopathic whims of childless, demented walking dead. How do we get here? And how do we emerge?
I don’t know about anyone else, but my family moved here during the Great Depression. Honestly, most Californians do not know about this particular insanity. Why would they? The establishment was somewhat successful hiding Dementia Joe for over four years. Really, I think that if they could speak without fear, even the more socially liberal ones such as me who believe in basic biology and parental involvement with their children (shocking, I know!) would be openly against this insanity.
But as with McCarthyism, one did not speak up in defense of others or even for free speech because that meant you supported Moscow. Maybe, you are a Soviet agent! People lost their jobs, were put on black lists, had their families, friends, neighbors, and employees interviewed by the police. Actually evidence was not really needed or if it was provided was often from something like being a socialist or communism party decades earlier or just going to a meeting.
Syllogistic fallacy to validate an incorrect conclusion is a well used and vexing tool of dishonest politicians, media and malpractice attorneys for decades.
Guilt by association is the cudgel of wannabe despots everywhere. In 2001, Bush 43 said “You are either with us or you are with the terrorists” and was roundly criticized by the Left because flaccidity in the face of evil is their hallmark. 20+ years later, the Left is living out Bush’s declaration in reverse.
Ironically, documents made public after the collapse of the USSR revealed that McCarthy wasn’t just right in his suspicions, but in fact underestimated the scope of the subversion.
The people he was attacking are the lunatics implementing this politics in California today.
McCarthy at least found actual communists and Soviet agents in the Government. He unfortunately went after Hollywood which has set the tone for how we look at the history of his investigations ever since.
HUAC was initially set up to root out Axis sympathizers and later was turned against the Soviets. It did its job and yielded results, even if some people we think were innocent were caught by its net.
Yes, but the net was set really, really, really wide and was not always for actual soviet spies.
I mean Senator Joe McCarthy's odious, right hand, thug Roy Cohn was well known to be gay. The man had government investigators dropping off his nightly boy toy, (power does have its privileges) but the same the investigators were going after gays and lesbians working in the state department.
Employees would be called in at work for an interview with the investigators. The employee would arrive thinking it was about soviet spying, but he or she would instead be ambushed with questions about their dating life. "We know you go to this know homosexual club. Here are some pictures at you arriving there. Does your family know about this?"
Power corrupts with the people given the power to destroy lives not always using the power in its intended manner. While our current governing class is noted for their absolute and grotesque incompetence, that is an unusual state, but some monsters have always thrived in it as has the corruption.
Great idea, but all the electricity in the local grid has been shunted to a new data center which is working on the problem of shunting electricity to new data centers which will calculate how much energy will be required for new data centers…
The profession most likely to molest children is teachers. A teacher is ten times more likely than a catholic priest to have a sexual relationship with a child.
Any based parents with based kids still in these school systems need to start some weaponized sexual misconduct allegations against these teachers. They have set themselves up for it.
I commented before I read this but it is exactly right. The bill is about protecting government pedos and their administrative enablers. As usual, the Dems have perfected the art of phony compassion.
The problem is that children do not have sufficient guile to maintain the allegation against evil activist teachers who are not guilty of the specific crime alleged. Lying that hurts somebody (even if roundly deserved) is a difficult burden to bear when you have a conscience.
It would be a shame if anonymous complaints were made on those kids' behalf. If things were overheard by others but the kids were to afraid to come forward themselves.
The video needs to be watched to be believed.... CA assembly floor drama in California over efforts to deny parents rights.
Tweets taken from Jennifer Kennedy Esq and California Family Council today explains the drama today over schools getting legal rights to lie to parents about what happens to their children in school. https://www.brokentruth.tv/p/ca-assembly-floor-drama-in-california
I'd want to ask Democratic legislators-not just in California of course-why they believe schools are privileged over parents when it comes to learning about the sexuality of minors. By what authority does a teacher deserve to know more about this than the parents do?
By the “moral” right to prevent individuals from committing wrongthink. I have the right to prevent your error. The problem with you dealing with your children’s private emotional issues is that they remain private within your family, and no individual can be trusted to make the “right” decision, i.e., one that delivers an indoctrinated psychological foot soldier to the state at age 18.
In answer to your question, welcome to fascism Kalifornia-style. If you accept that, then, yes, the state has authority over you and your children because (insert here whatever, logical, illogical, good, bad, never mind, pass the fried crickets). If you don't accept that (I certainly do not), then we have another story.
This reminds me of my experience some years ago when trying to defend my sophomore (high school) son from charges of child pornography for sending locker room SnapChat photos of his two friends' butts. (He was copying a latest high school prank and had their full permission.) I asked to see the evidence, but the Vice Principal said we couldn't look at it. To look at it would put us in jeopardy of being charge with possession of child pornography and "a two year prison term". The guy said this with a very serious expression.
God Almighty, this bill passed???? I am thankful every f'ing day my kids are grown and I can, mostly, ignore this insanity. I don't know how you do it Chris, slogging through this cesspool of depravity. To be clear, these are some sick f'cks!
I don't think he'll sign it, not because he wouldn't, but because he wants to run for president. But you never know. If I've learned one thing (and I've actually learned a bunch) in the last several years, it's that some peeps really are on another, unfathomable level.
If he vetoes it, expect him to be the Democratic nominee for president. If he signs it, probably not. Newsom will do what the Obamas and Clintons tell him to do.
Hooda thunk, Lewis Carroll was every bit our prophet as George Orwell. Hang on, the kerazy peeps may sniff a new gravy train and sing some new songs. And a bunch won't make it to the singing, they took too many jabs.
Why is it every time Chris posts a new article, I am sure that he is just pranking us because no place can be this crazy. Then I click on the damn links and sure enough it is really happening. Damn, the sane folks in CA seem to be an endangered species.

remember how awful it was when the religious right believed in conversion therapy for gays!
I have never had a problem with you. I've never had a long conversation with you. And yet you *blocked* me at some point! Seriously? Wow.

Colorado is.

Hitler liked dogs.
Trump likes dogs.

they tolerate all of it for the mild weather
"Affluent liberal women who wear shawls," and "Violence".
But the weather's nice....and authentic tacos 🤷♂️
After last nite, I’m wondering if we can pool our money and buy an island ? Small country ? There has to be one for sale somewhere 🤷♀️

Yes !!! But a little bigger please and no f ing royalty …..
Well, THAT was interesting! Who knew?
Haha! ‘Sealand’ is a great example of governments fear of the people doing anything without their permission. Great watch!
I am sure oil has been discovered on it and a US Carrier Fleet is stationed near-by.
lol
enjoyed that, thank you
Moving there seems like a Pyrrhic victory. Or maybe reminiscent of Edward Everett Hale’s "The Man Without a Country."
they would just give us a Lahaina job⚡️
Someone hook up a couple of electrical leads to Orwell's coffin - we're letting a lot of perfectly good spinning go to waste.

Yup. The only way out, is through

Lies will never defeat lies.
True. However, the kids would inevitably be interviewed as victim/witnesses, thus creating their moral dilemma.
They are doing it to themselves. Do not interrupt them. Simply protect your children and let them melt down.
True Tanto

The inmates are running the asylum. No wonder CA is circling the drain. Those people are dumber than a box of rocks.
Wow. This is actually insane
Right....I was sooo angry watching this.....
I knew it was bad- but this is unbelievable… why vote there?? It doesn’t matter. Especially if you’re not hard left
The video that you sent on the link… I can’t believe it.
So infuriating. It’s time to bring back tar and feathers.

We get the government we deserve.
"Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard."
That thought often crosses my mind.

Passed, waiting for Gavin Newsom's signature. Outcome TBD.
I don't think he'll sign it, not because he wouldn't, but because he wants to run for president. But you never know. If I've learned one thing (and I've actually learned a bunch) in the last several years, it's that some peeps really are on another, unfathomable level.
If signing it guarantees him the party’s nomination he’ll sign it. And then lie about it when he has to.
🤔
If he vetoes it, expect him to be the Democratic nominee for president. If he signs it, probably not. Newsom will do what the Obamas and Clintons tell him to do.
Excellent Chris. What an inversion of reason and logic. democrat SOP.
Hooda thunk, Lewis Carroll was every bit our prophet as George Orwell. Hang on, the kerazy peeps may sniff a new gravy train and sing some new songs. And a bunch won't make it to the singing, they took too many jabs.
