As we discuss policy issues with our friends, family and neighbors we are always surprised at the issues that folks don't realize are being discussed in the halls of city councils, school boards and our states' Capitol.
We want to keep you apprised of the great policies in consideration and some of the enormous failures. And from time to time we will share the surprises that happening around the country or being considered by the Federal Government.
You will find the surprises here.
Did You Know that when this legislative session began is Sacramento the Democrats changed the rules once again. Now the Chairperson of each committee can hold back any piece of legislation so as to it not ever being heard or brought up for discussion.
What does this mean? Well if your legislator is not one of the favored representatives he may not be able to represent you or your communitys' interest through the legislative process.

Newsom’s Nightmare List of Policies and Laws for Californians
1. Signed law to end gig economy as pay back to union friends. Goodbye Uber and Lyft.
2. Signed law disallowing parents to use medical information in order to make choices for vaccinating their children. SB 276 allows the state to monitor doctors and patients through an unprotected database while they are either helping immunocompromised children or they are parents with immunocompromised children.
SB 714 voids bodily immunity medical exemptions for children. The state had already passed a law to make religious exemptions illegal. (You can thank the “Doctor” Richard Pan for these wonderful laws as well as Newsom and Brown).
3. Signed law allowing “public healthcare “workers, and sheriffs to come to your home during a “health scare”, which state defines as 3 or more people, to check on your vaccination records.
4. Passed Prop 47 whereupon most drugs deemed as personal use, even heroin and cocaine, are only misdemeanors punishable by a ticket.
5. Passed Sanctuary State law in California.
6. Uses sanctuary state designation to allow thousands of illegal foreign entities to cross American border into US without fear of law enforcement or consequences.
7. California has the 5th largest economy in the world and yet we pay the highest state income taxes.
8. Governor passed and signed measure to create highest gas prices in the state by further taxing gasoline with the promise that the taxes would go to infrastructure. Since signing law Governor has raided the fund and used it for his pet rail projects NOT infrastructure.
9. Californians pay the second highest gas prices in the Nation.
10. California government has over $1.3 Trillion dollars of unfunded pension liability debt which it pays for out of your tax money. You pay more money so public employs can retire with six figure retirement checks.
11. California has the highest poverty level than even the National average at 50% with one of the highest portions of homeless living on our streets.
12. Thanks to the never-ending stream of homeless in our urban centers and major cities, Dark Age illnesses are making a comeback in California. Typhus and typhoid as well as leprosy have shown up on people in our cities. (No vaccines for those folks)
13. Your tax dollars have gone to HazMat crews spraying down public sidewalks in neighborhoods for a pandemic of HEP-A among the homeless .
14. Governor chose to give free health care insurance to illegal aliens in California while taxing YOU for not choosing to pay for health care insurance.
15. Ending Good Samaritan laws by which the public help law enforcement.
16. California has some of the sternest Constitution busting, anti- 2nd Amendment laws on the books. This right is being eroded by Governor and Sacramento elites at every turn.
17. Governor has allowed convicted murderers to be released from prison as well as changed the definition of crimes as to allow convicted felons to be released back into our neighborhoods with serving little or no time for their crimes.
18. Because the STATE hates President Trump they tried to keep him off your ballot whereby not allowing YOU to make a decision for a National presidential race candidate.
19. Newsom and the STATE are taxing drinking water as they allow millions of gallons of snow melt to run off the Sierras and into the Pacific Ocean daily.
While this is not a full list of the over 1000 laws Newsom signed this year, it is a list of some of the worst pieces of policies ever seen.

The Pedophile Project: Your 7-Year-Old Is Next On The Sexual Revolution’s Hit Parade
We cannot dismiss the campaign to legalize pedophilia as fringy stuff that will get nowhere. It’s real and it’s here and it’s gaining strength.
FEBRUARY 21, 2019
Activists for normalizing pedophilia are on the move. Public acceptance of adult sex with children is the next domino poised to fall in identity politics. It’s being sustained, among other things, by the rapid sexualization of children in the media and in K-12 education.
We cannot dismiss the campaign to legalize pedophilia as fringy stuff that will get nowhere. It’s real and it’s here and it’s gaining strength. It’s a very logical outgrowth of the nihilism inherent in the sexual revolution.
If you doubt this, just consider, for example, how unthinkable to many Americans was the recent celebration of infanticide (in the guise of abortion rights) by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Likewise, Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam—supposedly a pediatrician—spoke cavalierly about whether to dispose of a living infant who survives abortion.
They and governors of many other states are betting that your shock will simply wear off and we’ll all eventually get with the infanticide program. People do tend to settle into such shifts, believing it won’t affect them. But the selective dehumanization of children has been going on for a long time now.
Why should we think it’ll be any different when the time comes for legalizing pedophilia?
A Teacher Loses Her Job Over Political Beliefs & America Nears End of “Freedom of Speech”
Dr. Karen Siegemund is a brilliant woman. MENSA brilliant. But let’s allow her resume to speak for her:
As the daughter of a man who grew up in Hitler’s Berlin, Dr. Siegemund has always been keenly aware of how precarious freedom is, and how tyranny typically begins not with a revolution, but with a slow erosion of rights and freedoms. For this reason, Dr. Siegemund has dedicated her life to fighting against this erosion on every level.
During the Cold War, Dr. Siegemund worked in the field of underwater acoustics, developing new sonar systems and testing them during sea trials around the world.
After the defeat of the Soviet Union, Dr. Siegemund turned her sights first to earning a Master’s Degree in International Relations, then a doctorate degree in “Education and American Culture.” Recognizing that only with an educated citizenry could we hope to maintain our freedoms, she became an educator; for over ten years, Dr. Siegemund has taught in a number of areas, from Latin and French to Science and Mathematics, at the middle school, high school and University levels. Along with these specific academic disciplines, of course, she strives to educate her students about the values that make Western Civilization generally, and America specifically, as exceptional as we are.
In other words, instead of continuing down the career path of becoming a nuclear scientist (raise your hand if YOU can say that) or winning a Nobel Prize, Karen chose to teach. For the past several years she has been teaching Advanced Math and Ancient Greece at Le Lycée Français de Los Angeles, a private “duel language international” high school in Los Angeles. As an added bonus, she teaches these subjects in French.
Teaching because she has such a passion for her students, Karen’s students were equally blessed to have such a gifted, unbiased mentor in their lives. According to Karen, she was the only conservative teacher at the school while the rest were very vocal leftists, some who encouraged their students towards political activism on the school campus.
Karen’s own political activism was focused outside of her school, and even though she was a registered Republican she spoke against injustice for both sides of the political aisle. When she founded her Los Angeles activist organization “Rage Against the Media” Karen was pointing out the one thing journalists once claimed to despise: bias in the media. She became a frequent guest on radio and television and from there, Dr. Siegemund became President of the very prestigious American Freedom Alliance, putting together extremely successful events all over Southern California.
During the 2016 elections Karen was just as open about her dislike for Donald Trump as she was for Hillary Clinton. She and I had long discussions about this, sometimes heated, but always very respectful. That’s the thing about Karen that so many of us admire: she’s not someone who jumps onboard any/every extreme. She waits, watches, listens. If she’s proven wrong about someone or some issue, she’s not afraid to speak up about it. Since the elections she’s praised President Trump many times. On the other hand, if he’s wrong she’s unafraid to speak up about that, too–as all of us should.
Bottom line, everything Karen Siegemund has fought for throughout her entire career has been based on a genuine hope for the betterment of all people in all walks of life. Period.
So that leads us to last week when Karen held one of her most successful AFA conferences entitled, “The Left’s Revolution by Other Means”. Her LA event featured some of the most iconic conservative speakers in America–Charlie Kirk, Brent Bozell, Bill Whittle, Trevor Loudon, and many more.
Karen had no idea how ironic and fateful the title of that conference would mean in her personal life when the Le Lycee school told her she was, in effect, fired. Or rather they aren’t renewing her contract “because of her political beliefs.”
The most stunning realization of this event is that the following is the published “Philosophy” of the Le Lycée school:
Over 50 years ago, Le Lycée’s founders, Esther and Raymond Kabbaz, saw that to truly equip a child for the modern world, a school needed to provide each child with the ability to learn, to think, and to make decisions based on a sound foundation of logic, knowledge, and character. In this ever-shrinking world, they saw the advantage of teaching children within a microcosm of the worldwide community. They understood the value of a International Education adapted for a modern world. They viewed the children as not just students to process through an educational system, but as whole people in need of a life of purpose and meaning. The school continues their vision to this day.
In addition:
Students will leave the school fluent in at least two languages. However, if the language emphasis was not there at all, Le Lycée would still be a preferred place for students to gain the tools they need for college and the world beyond college. The school’s students often return and report that classes at any university are a “piece of cake” because they “learned how to learn at Le Lycée”. The challenging discussions of college are on par with the challenging discussions in Le Lycée’s high school classrooms. Le Lycée is not simply a language immersion school, but a rigorous college prep school with a deep respect for learning the languages and cultures of others.
Students of Le Lycée Français de Los Angeles are expected to develop the following important college prep skills:
Critical Thinking
Students who are able to analyze problems from numerous perspectives
Students who are able to utilize a variety of research modalities in their analysis
Students who are able to approach problems through dialectic, Socratic dialogue
So by “numerous perspectives” actually means ONE PERSPECTIVE–that from the extreme left side of the American political realm. Unfortunately the students at Le Lycée Français de Los Angeles have now lost the only rational voice that could have taught them about true “diversity”…
And that my friends is the end our First Amendment. That is the way Leftists, Totalitarians, Communists, whatever you want to call them-ists, have been able to end countries since the beginning of time. And that’s how they will end America as we know it, too.
When anyone is allowed to silence all opposing views and voices, leaving only what “they” want people to hear, we, my friends, are sunk. And I am saying this to all of my friends–Democrats and Republicans and everyone in between.
The truth of the matter is that if Karen had actually talked to her students about politics, they would have received much more unbiased views on the subject than from any other teacher at that school.
But of course the powers that be didn’t want that to happen. They were probably terrified of a brilliant MENSA woman like Dr. Karen Siegemund telling the truth to young Americans at their private school.
In French.
Dr. Karen Siegemund should never have been fired (or “not renewed”) from her job simply because her employers didn’t believe the same way she believed. Karen probably didn’t like their politics either but that didn’t stop her from wanting to teach the children at that school. But that’s the difference between Totalitarians and true Americans. Americans believe in Freedom for all people. The ones stealing our Freedom of Speech only believe in freedom for a select few.
Someone has to say STOP. Someone at Karen’s school, Le Lycée Français de Los Angeles, has to say STOP. And if something like this has happened to YOU, you need to speak up–contact the press. Let this be known and make it STOP!
Speak up. Speak out. If not, you’d better believe our days of freely speaking up are going to be over forever because in this case, silence is deadly…
(UPDATE from author: I have edited this article to not only include the name of the school that fired Dr. Siegemund, but also their published “philosophy”.)
