Had enough yet, Californians? California slays the free press, repeals the First Amendment -

"The Stop Nick Shirley Act shows how upset Democrats get when fraud is exposed by investigative journalists."

Eric Utter   

"The media long ago picked sides. Which led to the death of “journalists.” The erstwhile “Land of Milk and Honey” just codified this travesty. The “Golden State” is no more. But don’t try to investigate what happened. Or else."

"California, a state whose very name used to conger up images of freedom, has passed a new law which effectively criminalizes investigative journalism. At least investigative journalism that could in any way reflect poorly on Democrats and their various propaganda arms. The “Stop Nick Shirley Act” officially takes effect on Oct. 1, 2027, after being passed by the Senate on August 18 and the state Assembly a day later. It was then sent to Gov. Gavin Newsom’s desk, and The Slick One, Hand Dancer, signed it into law a few days later.

"AB 2624, the preposterously anti-American and seemingly unconstitutional law, was introduced by Assemblywoman Mia Bonta, who -- get this -- is married to California’s far-left Attorney General, Rob Bonta. Can you say, “conflict of interest?” “Nepotism?” This openly tyrannical law erases freedom of the press from the confines of California, at least partially repealing the First Amendment — and seems more in keeping with a China, North Korea, or Iran.

"Which is ironic. Just two days earlier, Newsom was braying about Trump shutting down 'the free press.'  

"The law is designed so that NGOs who receive money from government immigrant services don't have to disclose where that money came from, or what they have done to “deserve” it. It ostensibly safeguards “immigration support service providers” from harassment, though its real intent is to protect laughably fraudulent illegal alien and undocumented immigrant businesses from scrutiny … and Democrats from having their kickbacks and other “shenanigans” discovered. They don’t want their “Learing Centers” disturbed, because if they give them millions their votes are assured." . . .   More...

IT’S OFFICIAL: California Governor Gavin Newsom Signs “Stop Nick Shirley Act” into Law –

"Journalists Can Now Be FINED and JAILED for Uncovering Democrat Fraud " 

  The Gateway Pundit  

"But now, Shirley’s videos can be forced offline. Worse, journalists and citizens like him can be dragged into court, financially ruined, and even jailed."

"The formerly great state of California took a giant step toward becoming a complete leftist dictatorship with a new law that completely destroys the 1st Amendment.

"As The New York Post reported, Governor Gavin Newsom officially signed the “Stop Nick Shirley Act” into law on Saturday. This comes just days after a leftist operative interrupted an interview the independent journalist was conducting at the State Capitol and launched a disgusting and bizarre personal attack against him.

"The legislation, which officially takes effect on October 1, 2027, passed the Senate on Tuesday and cleared the state Assembly on Wednesday.

"The “Stop Nick Shirley Act” was introduced by Assemblywoman Mia Bonta, who is married to California’s far-left Attorney General, Rob Bonta. AB 2624 claims to expand California’s “Safe at Home” confidentiality program to safeguard “immigration support service providers” from harassment.

"But in reality, this is a disgusting Democrat power grab designed to silence brave conservative citizen journalists like Shirley who expose the rampant fraud bleeding American taxpayers dry in government-funded immigrant service centers.

"For example, Shirley has exposed over $110 million in alleged Somali-run daycare fraud in Minnesota — empty “learning centers” billing taxpayers while no children were present.

"He then followed up with a shocking exposé on California daycare and hospice fraud schemes. This included ghost operations in Los Angeles tied to massive looting of Medi-Cal and Medicare." . . . More...

Trump’s Iran Gamble: ‘Economic D-Day’ and the Strait of Hormuz

 The American Spectator

The U.S. is now more than $40 trillion in debt. How long can we sustain this war? It won’t be up to the president if he loses the 2026 election which now seems likely.

 "On Thursday, President Trump threatened Iran with an “economic D-Day” if they didn’t make a diplomatic agreement on his terms. On Friday, President Trump declared the Strait of Hormuz to be American territory. What does all that mean?

"Not much. The Strait could be the coastal waters of Iran, the UAE, or Oman. But it’s not: it’s supposed to be an international waterway and Iran wants to control it.

"Mr. Trump’s Hormuz declaration is the easy part. It’s meaningless unless U.S. forces impose our national will on the Iranians and reopen the Strait, free of any Iranian interference. Anything less would be a U.S. capitulation. That seems more and more likely because the war is at a stalemate.

"Mr. Trump finds himself in a situation reminiscent of his dispute with Denmark over Greenland and his renaming of the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America. The Danes aren’t anything like the Iranians but they had no interest in turning Greenland over to the U.S., even if we bought it. Denmark is a NATO ally, and Mr. Trump’s attempts to push them around didn’t work.

"Neither did his attempt to rename the Gulf of Mexico. While U.S. federal agencies and a few among the news media agreed to relabel the Gulf, no one else does. There are billions of maps and globes around the world that still show the Gulf of Mexico.

"But now, with Mr. Trump’s asserting ownership of the Strait, how are we to force Iran to accept that? There is no way to do so short of resuming the bombing campaign and seeing it through to conclusion. Think about it.

"If the Strait is U.S. territory, we have the right to possess it, to run shipping through it and to assert U.S. authority over it. Iran won’t tolerate that so we are clearly — for a second reason — at war with Tehran. It was right for Mr. Trump to take us to war with Iran to overcome its nuclear ambitions but has the Strait become so valuable that we should go to war over it? It obviously hasn’t." . . .  More...

Why Christians Are Finally Turning On Joel Osteen

 2 Peter 2:3   "In their greed, these false teachers will exploit you with deceptive words. The longstanding verdict against them remains in force, and their destruction does not sleep."

Comment to the video:. . . "glad to see this....if people would listen to God's Word over what some popular so called preacher says..............they will know a false teacher.......we are to be like the Bereans and search scripture to see if what a teacher says is true according to God's Word so we dont end up following these false ones........"Now the Bereans were more noble-minded than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if these teachings were true." Acts 17:11 not to mention if popular figures like Oprah who believes in pantheism, loves someone then christians should question WHY."
