Still No Word on Why White Vans Showed Up at Ballot Counting Center in Orange County After Bomb Threat

There is still no explanation for why white vans showed up at the Orange County ballot counting center after the late-night bomb threat.

At least three GOP congressional seats are being counted in Orange County, California. On Friday, we reported that the GOP needs help at a counting facility in the county.

On Friday night, there was a bomb threat at this same very important vote-counting facility. The winner of the three US House seats being counted will determine which party runs the House for the next two years.

It’s feared that if the corrupt Democrat Party steals the House, they will not certify President Trump’s win on Jan 6 – the same act they claim that President Trump did that was an insurrection.

The Orange County ballot counting facility is important and the Democrats know it.

On Friday, it was reported that everyone was told to leave the premises when the bomb threat occurred. According to reports from those onsite, the Sheriff made everyone leave the facility calling it an active crime scene.

California Teacher Has Unhinged Classroom Meltdown Over Trump Win: Warns Students of ‘Concentration Camps,’ Blames Kamala’s Loss on ‘Racism and Sexism,’ and Labels Kids ‘Privileged’

In a shocking incident caught on tape, Maximiliano Perez, an Advanced Placement history teacher at Moreno Valley View High School in California, unleashed a profanity-filled tirade against Donald Trump in front of his students following the latest presidential election.

His heated speech covered everything from Trump’s supposed “Hitlerian” tendencies to accusations that Kamala Harris lost due to “white women” and “Latino men who wish they were white.”

Perez’s tirade included an array of extreme warnings and personal grievances, calling out students for their “privilege” and even likening America under Trump to potential “concentration camps.”

Corey DeAngelis, a senior fellow at the American Federation for Children, was among the first to bring attention to the recorded meltdown, in which Perez openly attacked the results of the election.

Perez reportedly told his students:

“This sh-t is not a f—ing game. Does that make sense, everybody? Can’t emphasize this enough. Can you end up in a concentration camp in your lifetime? Yes. Can you end up with no human rights? Yes. Will it happen to you? Most likely not, which is a good thing. But has Donald Trump quoted Hitler? Yes. Yes. Does he embody some of Hitler’s ideas? Yes. Donald Trump won because we have low voter turnout. People didn’t want to vote.”

In an attempt to explain Harris’s electoral loss, Perez pointed fingers at racial and gender biases, accusing white women, Black men, and Latino men of failing to support Harris, framing her defeat as a consequence of systemic racism and sexism.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom calls special session of the legislature to ‘Trump proof’ lefty laws: ‘Shameless political stunt’

California Gov. Gavin Newsom is calling for a special legislative session to “Trump-proof” the liberal state’s policies against Donald Trump’s impending presidency — even after voters made a massive shift to the right on Election Day.

Golden State Republicans quickly blasted the move.

““This special session is a shameless political stunt. The only ‘problem’ it will solve is Gavin Newsom’s insecurity that not enough people are paying attention to him,” the California state Assembly’s Republican leader James Gallagher said after the governor’s proclamation.

Newsom’s gensture is similar to announcements by New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and state Attorney General Letita James on Wednesday that they will organize their offices to work against Trump policies in the wake of his reelection.

Kamala Harris Refuses to Answer Reporter on How She Voted on California’s Proposition 36 “It’s the Sunday Before the Election”

In full defensive mode, Kamala Harris refused to answer a reporter’s question when pressed on how she voted on California’s Proposition 36.

Prop. 36 is one of the most significant issues on the ballot for the citizens of California, yet Harris, a presidential candidate who is asking Americans to trust her leadership,is hiding her position on how crime should be tackled.

Prop. 36 rolls back some of the soft-on-crime policies that California voters passed in 2014 with Prop. 47.

Per LA Public Press, Prop 47 “scaled back punishments for certain nonviolent offenses for drugs and theft, which were reclassified from felonies to misdemeanors.”

Under the proposed Prop. 36, penalties would be increased and sentences lengthened for drug possession and for the theft of items valued at less than $950.

Reporter: How did you vote on Prop 36?

Kamala Harris: My ballot is on its way to California, and I’m going to trust the system that it will arrive there.

I am not going to talk about the vote on that because, honestly, it’s the Sunday before the election, and I don’t intend to create an endorsement one way or another around it.

But I did vote.

She doesn’t want to “create an endorsement” around a major issue that is impacting Americans?

80% of Air Samples in California Farm Communities Contain Pesticides

Almost 80% of air samples collected last year in California’s four most agriculture-intensive communities contained pesticide residues, though the concentrations were “unlikely to be harmful to human health,” according to a recently released state regulatory report.

The California Department of Pesticide Regulation (CDPR) collected 207 air samples at stations in Oxnard, Santa Maria, Shafter and Watsonville once a week throughout 2023, finding at least one of the 40 pesticides they tested for in 163 of the samples, according to the results.

The monitoring stations detected a total of 19 different pesticides in the air samples, including the herbicide pendimethalin and the fumigant 1,3-dichloropronene (Telone), which have both been linked to cancer.

These chemicals and others detected by CDPR have also been linked to nausea, shortness of breath and eye and respiratory irritation.

Despite being banned in 34 countries, Telone is the third-most heavily used pesticide in California, and CDPR has been criticized for failing to implement regulations that adequately protect mostly Latino farmworkers from the chemical.

The samples were all collected on school grounds, raising concerns among environmental and health advocates about safety risks for children and other vulnerable community members.

“The latest air sampling results continue to show pesticides sprayed on fields drift off site and contaminate the air nearby, a serious concern for those who live, go to school or work near farm fields,” Alexis Temkin, a senior toxicologist at the Environmental Working Group (EWG), said in a press release.

“Some pesticides can drift several miles from fields, putting many people at risk, including farm workers and vulnerable populations like young children, pregnant people and the elderly,” said Temkin.

None of the pesticides in the 2023 air samples were detected at concentrations at or above the levels CDPR considers threatening to public health, CDPR said.

The “detections of pesticides below health protective targets do not indicate risks for people living, working or going to school near agricultural fields,” the state agency said.

Despite detecting the presence of pesticides in the majority of samples, the agency issued a press release earlier this month stating that “95% of all samples analyses had no detectable pesticides.”

The way the agency publicly reported its data misrepresented the findings and appeared intentionally misleading, critics said.

“This is deliberate disinformation intended to deceive the public,” said Jane Sellen, co-director of the Californians for Pesticide Reform. “It’s so industry-serving.”

Jury: Workers Fired For Refusing COVID-19 Vaccine To Get More Than $1 Million Each

Rail transit officials in California’s Bay Area have been ordered to pay more than $7 million to transit workers who were fired because they refused to get a COVID-19 vaccine years ago.

On Oct. 23, a federal jury in the U.S District Court for the Northern District of California sided with six former San Francisco Bay Area Regional Transit (BART) workers who had refused to get the vaccine for religious purposes.

BART was ordered to pay the group more than $7.8 million, with each individual receiving between $1.2 million and $1.5 million, the Pacific Justice Institute, which represented the transit workers in the trial, said in a statement on Oct. 24. The institute, a law firm representing the six former employees since 2022, said the eight-person jury deliberated for two days this week before returning the verdict that awarded the employees the compensation.

About a week ago, the federal jury also determined that BART had failed to prove that it suffered an undue hardship by denying accommodations to the ex-employees in the case.

On Oct. 23, the jury further found that the six employees met the burden of showing that there was a conflict between their religious beliefs and the BART vaccine mandate, which was implemented in 2021.

According to the law firm, the jury also agreed with the figures that the plaintiffs had provided for lost wages that they had suffered after losing their jobs. The jury then added $1 million each to those figures, the firm said, describing the verdict as a “legal earthquake.”

“The rail employees chose to lose their livelihood rather than deny their faith. That in itself shows the sincerity and depth of their convictions,“ Kevin Snider, the Pacific Justice Institute’s chief counsel, who served as lead trial attorney, said. ”After nearly three years of struggle, these essential workers feel they were heard and understood by the jury and are overjoyed and relieved by the verdict.”

The law firm stated: “During the trial, jurors heard compelling testimony from dedicated employees. One of the plaintiffs had worked for more than 30 years for BART, with a stretch of 10 years perfect attendance, before being unceremoniously dismissed. Another had been out on workers comp for months, with no scheduled return date, when she was fired.”

California’s Unelected Tyrants

Democrats claim that the MAGA movement constitutes a “threat to democracy.” Once you cut through their incessant rhetoric on race and gender, the threat the Democrats most fear is that an elected chief executive may actually try to control the executive branch. And when candidate Trump aligns himself with capable businessmen, including Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, government bureaucrats aren’t wrong to be afraid for their jobs along with the repressive policies they’ve imposed.

Voters who still haven’t made up their minds which threat to take seriously—“protecting democracy” vs. “draining the swamp”—should ponder life in California, where Democrats, run by bureaucrats and billionaires, wield absolute power. Decriminalized crime. Record homelessness. Punitive, impossible cost of living. The highest taxes. Failing schools. Fleeing businesses. And a state bureaucracy that is openly hostile towards unsubsidized home builders, oil and gas producers, farmers, loggers, ranchers, manufacturers, and any other productive, job-creating citizens.

If you want to pick one bureaucracy in California that epitomizes the ignorance, fanaticism, arrogance, and corruption that plagues that state, look no further than the California Coastal Commission. Ran by an unelected 12-member board, this state agency has the power to stop virtually any activity they wish if it is within five miles of the Pacific Coast or in the ocean within three miles of land. For nearly a half century, along an 840-mile coastline stretching from Oregon to Mexico, the Coastal Commission has been a capricious tyrant.

One of the most consequential examples of the Coastal Commission’s recent abuse of power was their unanimous rejection of a proposed desalination plant in Huntington Beach in Southern California. This facility would have produced 55,000 acre-feet per year of fresh water from the ocean and had already painstakingly secured permits and approvals from a dizzying array of federal, state, regional, and local agencies. The company attempting to build the plant, Poseidon Water, spent over 20 years and more than $100 million fighting off environmentalist lawsuits and paying for innumerable engineering studies and permit applications. The plant would have been an exemplary model of how to safely desalinate ocean water with minimal environmental impact. But in May 2022, in a 12-0 decision, the California Coastal Commission killed the project.

It is hard to overemphasize the level of abuse and poor judgment this decision represents. Nowhere in the Coastal Commission’s ruling did they demonstrate that this alleged environmental impact would cause irreparable or even significant harm, much less take into account the overall cost versus benefit. Even if a few hundred acres of marine habitat were slightly degraded, such a minor and localized impact would have represented a minute fraction of the coastal habitat under their jurisdiction, in exchange for a permanent solution to the chronic water scarcity threatening hundreds of thousands of people living in nearby coastal cities.

Third Trump assassination attempt thwarted when armed man arrested outside Coachella rally, sheriff says

A third assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump was thwarted at the last minute Saturday when local cops stopped a man armed with guns and fake passes outside his rally at Coachella Valley, the local sheriff said.

The suspect was caught about a mile from the rally venue with a phony-entry pass, according to police. He was also carrying a loaded shotgun, handgun and high capacity magazine.

“We probably stopped another assassination attempt,” Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco said.

The suspect, identified as Vem Miller, was intercepted by police at a checkpoint about a half-mile from the rally entrance. He was carrying a fake phony press and VIP passes.

California Democrats Block SpaceX Launches, Citing Elon Musk’s Support For Donald Trump

California officials are actively blocking Elon Musk’s SpaceX from launching rockets in the state because of his support for Donald Trump.

According to The Los Angeles Times, members of the California Coastal Commission, a state agency controlled by Governor Gavin Newsom, made no secret of the fact that their decision was based on Musk’s support for Trump and the Republican Party’s platform.

The report stated:

SpaceX’s plans to launch more rockets from the California coast were rejected by a state commission this week, with some officials citing Elon Musk’s political posts on X and raising concerns about the billionaire’s labor record at his companies.

The plan to increase the number of rocket blasts into space up to 50 a year was rejected by the California Coastal Commission on Thursday despite assurances from Space Force and Air Force officials that they would increase efforts to monitor the effects that rocket launches have on nearby wildlife.

The military also vowed to mitigate the reach of sonic booms that often span across 100 miles of coastline, an issue that has caused controversy. Members of the California Coastal Commission commended Space Force and Air Force representatives for reaching an agreement, but some cited their concerns about Musk, the owner of SpaceX, before rejecting the plan.

Among the issues raised were Musk’s decision to insert himself in the presidential race, his spreading of conspiracy theories, the labor record of his companies and derogatory comments he has made about the transgender community.

“We’re dealing with a company, the head of which has aggressively injected himself into the presidential race,” commission Chair Caryl Hart said.

The commission’s decision is also likely a retaliation for Musk’s decision to pull most of the company’s operations out of California.

Back in July, Musk said that the passage of a California law preventing from making rules requiring parental notification if a child identifies as transgender was the “final straw,” and he would be moving the company out of the state.

“This is the final straw,” Musk wrote at the time. “Because of this law and the many others that preceded it, attacking both families and companies, SpaceX will now move its HQ from Hawthorne, California, to Starbase, Texas.”

“I did make it clear to Governor Newsom about a year ago that laws of this nature would force families and companies to leave California to protect their children,” he later followed up.
