No Parental Rights in California School System

California Senate approves ban on requiring schools to notify parents of child’s pronoun change

Parents have no rights when it comes to their kids in California schools

School districts in California would be barred from requiring teachers to notify parents if their child asks to go by a new pronoun at school under a bill the state Legislature is weighing amid legal battles over the rights of parents and gender-nonconforming students.

The state Senate approved the proposal Thursday, which would ban school districts from passing or enforcing policies requiring school staff to disclose a student’s gender identity or sexual orientation to anyone else without the child’s permission, with some exceptions.

What was their goal? To protect students whose safety could be threatened if they live in unwelcoming households. Lawmakers approved the legislation along party lines after more than an hour of an emotional debate.

The bill now heads to the state Assembly, where it would need to pass in committees and on the floor before it can reach the desk of Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, whose administration has fought school boards over the notification policies. What a joke.

Biden Campaigns On Trump Being A Threat To Democracy, But Voters May Not Be Buying It

The Biden campaign has criticized former President Donald Trump as a threat to democracy, but undecided swing-state voters trust him over the current president on the topic, according to a poll released Monday.

The Biden campaign aired an ad ahead of Trump’s June 13 visit to Capitol Hill that alleged he was “the instigator of an insurrection” and that he is “pledging to pardon the extremists who tried to overthrow our government, inciting them to try again,” The Hill reported.

Over half of respondents said that threats to democracy is a top issue, with 38% saying they trust Trump more on handling it compared to 29% who said the same for Biden, according to the Washington Post-Schar School poll featuring “decider” voters from six swing-states.

Climate Change Hoax

Use This Calculator to See How Little Cutting Carbon Emissions Would Budge Temperatures

Ever since the start of Joe Biden’s presidency, curbing climate change has been a fundamental component of his energy policy agenda.

During the spring, for example, the Biden administration issued a power plant rule, imposing strict emissions reductions regarding the use of fossil-fuel power plants. There have been many other rules proposed as well, including regulating cars, stoves, dishwashers, water heaters, and even microwaves.

All of these rules are predicated on concerns about the effects of greenhouse gas emissions on global temperatures and climate change. If greenhouse gas emissions drive climate change, then curbing the use of sources of energy that emit them (such as coal, oil, and natural gas) should in theory curb these increases in global temperature.

The Heritage Foundation Climate Calculator, an online tool that enables the public to change some of the assumptions to simulate the climate effects of these policies to reduce carbon emissions.

Liberals Cheat More

Guess who's increasingly OK with cheating on spouse

"More likely to support polyamory, 'advertised as maximizing personal choice and sexual fulfillment.'

The liberal woke nutty Me generation.

A growing number of Democrats are softening their stance on the concept of marital infidelity, a new survey reveals.

In 2000, 85% of Republicans and 77% of Democrats found sex with someone other than your spouse to be “always wrong,” according to data from the General Social Survey (GSS), the leading barometer for Americans’ views on social issues.

As of 2022, 84% of Republicans have maintained their view on the matter, while Democrats have seen a 17% decrease, with 60% remaining unchanged.

People who identify as lesbian, gay or bisexual are more likely to find open marriage permissible than their straight counterparts, according to Pew."

Secret Service Agent Robbed

How a Secret Service Agent Was Robbed Amid President Biden’s Star-Studded Event

"During President Biden’s recent visit to Southern California, an alarming incident occurred involving a Secret Service agent.

On the night of June 17, 2024, a Secret Service agent, who was off duty at the time, was robbed at gunpoint in Tustin, a city near Los Angeles. The incident happened in the vicinity of a high-profile fundraiser event attended by celebrities and political figures.



The agent fired his gun but the suspect fled the scene in what is believed to be a 2004-2006 silver Infiniti FX35. Authorities have launched an extensive search for the suspect, focusing on the Los Angeles area."

U.S. months behind China in Hypersonic Missile System

US Way Behind Schedule For Key Weapons Tech Already Used By China

"The U.S. military is still months behind on its hypersonic missile program, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) said in a report released Monday, as China is ramping up its own hypersonic testing.

Hypersonic missile systems are capable of taking evasive measures mid-flight and moving at speeds up to 7,000 miles an hour — five times the speed of sound.

Already plagued by delays, the U.S. Army will likely not be able to make its first-ever hypersonic weapons system combat-ready until at least fiscal year 2025, which begins on Oct. 1, according to the GAO report.

U.S. intelligence has previously warned that China is currently leading the pack in terms of hypersonic capabilities, while the U.S. program has struggled with operational problems and delays, according to Bloomberg.

By 2018, China had conducted more than 20 times as many hypersonic tests as the U.S., according to a February report from the Congressional Research Service."

Fake Jake Tapper sees the problem

Jake Tapper Hates on Joe Biden Being Nominee for Democrats

"In a revelation that has sent shockwaves through the political landscape, CNN anchor Jake Tapper recently asserted that President Joe Biden is proving to be a significant liability for the Democratic Party.

During an interview with Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) on “State of the Union,” Tapper pointed to recent polling data indicating Biden’s inability to keep pace with other Democratic candidates in key battleground states, suggesting that the President’s weakened standing could jeopardize the party’s chances in the 2024 elections.

Tapper’s remarks were grounded in the latest New York Times/Siena poll. The data paints a grim picture for Biden: while Democratic senators in swing states show healthy leads over their Republican challengers, Biden lags significantly behind, struggling to maintain even a slim advantage.

“How can you look at this, these statistics, these numbers and not conclude that Joe Biden is a drag on the ticket?” Tapper demanded of Murphy. Despite Murphy’s attempts to downplay the poll as a singular outlier, his inability to cite any specific polls showing Biden in a strong position only underscored the gravity of Tapper’s point.

Will Biden stay in the race?

Is Obama Laying Groundwork to Dump Biden?

I think it will depend upon whether he is juiced up enough and does ok in the debate next week

"Does Joe Biden belong in the White House or a nursing home?

There are growing concerns across the nation about the mental capacity and cognitive abilities of President Biden.

Over the weekend President Trump held a town hall meeting in a black church in Detroit. The president field unscripted questions from regular folks. Afterwards – he brought down the house during a massive People’s Convention sponsored by Turning Point Action.

While Trump was with the people – President Biden was hobnobbing with the rich and famous and botoxed in Hollywood... Sharing a stage with former President Obama. At times, Biden struggled to verbalize his thoughts. It was painful.

The truth is that President Biden is NOT FINE. He’s an old man and he is not aging well. Even James Carville – the Redneck Rabblerouser – admitted that Biden should’ve called it a day."

Title IX Transgender Rule Blocked

Federal Title IX Transgender Rule Blocked in 6 More States

‘A rule that compels speech and engages in such viewpoint discrimination is impermissible,’ the judge wrote in the ruling.

A federal judge on June 17 issued an order temporarily blocking the Biden administration’s new Title IX transgender rule in an additional six states. The rule has sparked controversy for changing the definition of “sex” to include “gender identity” and giving female-identifying male students access to girls’ locker rooms and bathrooms.

“There are two sexes: male and female,” begins the memorandum and opinion written by U.S. District Judge Danny C. Reeves, filed on June 17 at the U.S. District Court of the Eastern District of Kentucky, Covington Division.

The judge’s order grants a preliminary injunction blocking enforcement of the new rule in six states: Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. The rule has also been blocked in at least five other states.

The Epoch Times

Title IX also forbids discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity.

Byrin Donalds shoots down one ugly Democrat smear job in spectacular fashion

"Donald Trump is still deliberating on who his running mate will be. He is unlikely to go with an establishment pick like Mike Pence this time around.

And a Trump VP candidate just shot down one ugly Democrat smear job.

He is a popular black Republican in an important state who’s also an effective communicator, which is why he has received some buzz as a Vice Presidential pick.

Democrats despise him so much that he was denied entry into the Congressional Black Caucus because “black” is a substitute for 'Democrat' in the eyes of the Left."

Newsom Wants to Defund California Prison System by $1 billion

Insane: Newsom and Dems Push for Dangerous Defunding of California Prisons

"Actions have consequences. In California, a state that has long been ruled by progressives, the consequences of their policies are starting to hit home. Crime rates are skyrocketing, with violent offenses up by 13.5 percent and property crimes up by 6.2 percent.

These rising crime rates have contributed to an exodus of residents, making California one of the top states for population loss. Yet, despite all this evidence, the progressive Democrats in Sacramento are still pushing to defund the prison system by a staggering $1 billion.

Instead of making tough decisions and cutting spending where it’s needed, Democratic lawmakers are looking to slash the budget for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. They argue that the agency is bloated and that there are thousands of empty beds in prisons, a clear sign that the budget can be cut. But they fail to acknowledge that the empty beds are a result of their lenient policies that allow criminals to roam the streets rather than being locked up."

The budget, which calls for $293 billion in spending, comes after months of lawmakers staring down a deficit that, depending on the person making the estimate, swung from between $38 billion to $72 billion. Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom in his own budget proposal made drastic cuts, some of which the Legislature added back.

The Legislature’s budget included $1 billion for a housing and homelessness program local leaders have called critical. And to say it again, it also reduced funding for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation by about $1 billion.

Biden's Student Loan Bailout - A $billion here; $ 5 billion there

New Poll Finds Many Americans Don’t Support Biden’s Student Loan Bailout

Well, who in their right mind would support this pandering giveaway?

$167 billion. That’s the total amount of student debt the Biden administration has cancelled.

"The United States is currently facing serious problems at nearly every level of domestic and international politics.

Indeed, the quality of life that most Americans have enjoyed has significantly declined over the last several years. Since the 2020 presidential election occurred in November of that years, the economic climate within the United States has markedly deteriorated.

Inflation has crushed American consumers everywhere, with millions of Americans struggling to make ends meet. Recent projections from the media outlet CNBC have alleged that 6 out of every 10 citizens may be living on a week to week basis and surviving from paycheck to paycheck.

Additionally, interest rates have soared, and mortgage payments have reached exorbitant heights. Things are not going well for many young citizens who are beginning their early adult lives and attempting to save to buy a house. Many young people are now forced to live at home for longer years, and even enterprising young individuals face significant challenges."

BUT, they need to learn to be responsible and pay their own debts but Joe Biden is their enabaler.
