Gavin Newsom silences and deletes
Two new California laws use censorship to change public policy
In case you missed it …
The controversial Covid vaccine study that got the Florida Surgeon General censored on Twitter is being questioned by other doctors and researchers. This open debate is excellent and exactly why his post shouldn’t be censored.
According to the Washington Free Beacon, the FBI officials who briefed Facebook about the Hunter Biden story were Democrat donors in 2020.
A Wisconsin school district is now requiring parental consent before schools allow name or pronoun changes following backlash.
Dear Friends,
Governor Gavin Newsom signed two bills into California law, both of which take a page from our increasingly censorious times. One aims to regulate doctors; the other to protect convicted criminals.
The first tackles COVID “misinformation”, or, as a doctor described it: “California makes it illegal for doctors to disagree with politicians.”
The state will penalize doctors, up to and including taking their licenses, for disseminating “misinformation” on treating the disease. And how is that defined? Telling patients “false information that is contradicted by contemporary scientific consensus contrary to the standard of care.”
Yet we’ve all seen firsthand how that “scientific consensus” has been buffeted not only by evolving knowledge, but politics.
We saw masks go from “not helpful” to “you’re a killer if you don’t double-mask” to “they’d be effective if people just wore them better.” Vaccine effectiveness, herd immunity, individual drugs and overall treatment is continuing to evolve.
Imagine your doctor believing something, yet fearful to tell you because state regulators could enforce the latest COVID “consensus.”
The other law automatically seals criminal records for millions of California felons if they behave themselves for four years. There are exceptions, and some serious violent offenders will have to petition a court to seal their records, but it does apply to domestic abuse offenses.
The law was cheered by liberal “reformers” happy that it will make it easier for past offenders to seek employment or housing without judgement.
But shouldn’t an employer have the right to know about someone’s past illegal behavior? Shouldn’t a woman have the right to know whether her new boyfriend has a violent past?
Erasing someone’s criminal past will have severe, sometimes deadly results, and in a few years, the so-called reformers will be saying “who would have thought THAT could happen?” The California criminal justice merry-go-round never stops.
Silencing people
Both of the laws Newsom signed use censorship to achieve his political ends. One prevents things he doesn’t want from happening. The other allows things he does want to happen.
For those of us living in California, it will change the makeup of the state, although that’s been happening for a while now.
For those of you who don’t live here, it shows what politicians can do when they take censorship one step further and weaponize it to achieve their political goals.

Many of the doctors here in CA have been lying since Covid began. Mine included! They were told they would lose their job. When I asked my Dr if she would prescribe ivermectin if I contracted Covid? Her answer was, I can’t do that I could lose my job. She works for Providence Healthcare. The CDC, the Biden Admin, big Pharma , and Fauci are behind the lies. Sadly, all this does is bring a lack of trust into a Dr/patient relationship.
Many of my conservative friends have moved out of CA. Many of us would like to leave but stay for our kids and grandkids. CA is getting worse and I can honestly say, after living here my entire 63 years, that I don’t believe we are ever returning to the CA of COMMON SENSE!
