In saner times, it might seem like cause for amusement when a major public figure behaves in a petty, buffoonish manner. However, in the modern era of leftist lawlessness, coupled with extreme over-reaches and abuses of power from high office, the consequences of failing to take such obsessed individuals seriously can be grave.
Among the most flagrant of these is hard leftist California Governor Gavin Newsom. The nephew of Nancy Pelosi, Newsom carries one of the dirtiest leftist pedigrees, yet in typical manner, often shamelessly hides his abhorrent ideology and agenda behind a seemingly “clean cut” and even “moderate” facade.
We dare not be fooled by any of it. The current fight to the death, being waged by Newsom against a relatively small, school district in one of the more rural regions of Southern California, unmasks the truly dangerous and relentless nature of the leftist counterculture. It is a struggle that pits the enormous power of California State Government against a community of concerned parents and other decent citizens whose only crime is to seek to protect their children from the moral and spiritual ravages of the leftist counterculture.
Despite his posturing, Newsom’s behavior reflects two despicable motivations. First, as an aspiring leftist despot, he is fanatically obsessed with being able to wield uncontested power, to the point that he will seek to overpower and silence any who dare to dispute his moral/spiritual dominance of any situation. Second, he and his fellow counterculture leftists are committed to thoroughly corrupting young people in the schools and shattering every precept of traditional, (Judeo-Christian) moral grounding they might have ever been given.
By nature, leftists abhor the principles and ideals on which America was founded and by which it flourished; principles that were inarguably based in Biblical Truth and which have withstood the test of time. In contrast, the perverse leftist worldview can only prevail in the absence of scrutiny, and hence its devotees are mortally threatened by even the slightest opposition to their agenda.
This is why leftists never seek to engage Christians and Conservatives in discourse on the supposed merits of their sick/twisted ideology. They know the light of truth will demolish their platitudes and presumptions of unassailable “virtue.” So instead of allowing free speech and expression to all, in hopes that the best ideas will prevail, they must infiltrate and corrupt from positions of unchecked authority, lest they are forced to “validate” their historically disastrous and insupportable worldview.
Consider the sheer absurdity of the situation, given Newsom’s obvious aspirations to seek the White House in 2024. Here’s someone who deems himself worthy to ostensibly vie for America’s position on the world stage. Yet he is virtually hamstrung in his home state, not by some major governmental player, but by the courageous and very vocal Christian Pastor Jack Hibbs of Calvary Chapel, Chino Hills.
At a recent “Pray Vote Stand” summit, Pastor Hibbs took direct aim at Newsom, describing the governor as essentially hanging on his leg. Hibbs went on to explain that “everything the Church does in California is under attack by Gavin Newsom.” And this is certainly no exaggeration.
In the early days of Covid lockdown lunacy, Newsom was unwavering in his support of every vile and seedy establishment, from tattoo parlors to abortion “clinics,” which remained open and unrestricted on the basis that they were deemed “essential.” Yet Churches were sternly warned against gathering or functioning in any customary manner, facing the prospect of severe legal repercussions if they did not comply.
Thankfully, Pastor Hibbs and some others bravely refused such illegal and unconstitutional edicts, virtually daring the leftists in high office to violate two hundred and twenty nine years of established American law. Despite the degree to which the Constitution has been undermined and eroded in recent years, Newsom and his henchmen recognized their no-win situation and backed down.

Yet the battle rages on, and the stakes are nothing less than the ability of parents to protect their children from the attacks and exploitation of sexual predators and other perverse individuals masquerading as government school “teachers” and “counselors.” In the Chino Valley school district, citizens have drawn a line in the sand against such assaults on the innocence of their children. Currently, the local school board prohibits children from being groomed and sexualized by the “system,” without the involvement of parents.
This is only common sense and common decency, but of course on that basis it is a roadblock to every sick individual who seeks to target those kids. Not surprisingly, Newsom and the rest of California’s hard-leftist political elites are outraged, and fighting such protections in every possible manner. In recent weeks, California Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond attempted to disrupt a Chino Valley School Board meeting, for the purpose of preventing it from passing the measure to empower parents to safeguard their children. Thurmond’s behavior was so outlandish that he was eventually ejected from the meeting.
In response Newsom has, with great effort, pushed measures through the California legislature that would empower him to further attack the Chino Valley School District, and any other jurisdiction that dares oppose the leftist counterculture. Clearly, like Canada’s Justin Trudeau and other tinhorns of the Third World, Newsom is obsessed with crushing the basic freedoms of a civilized society.
Americans had better realize just how far beyond this single jurisdiction its potential impact will reach, should Newsom’s abhorrent and despotic actions prevail. The left is presently engaged in nothing less than a total takedown of the American family, to be supplanted by the depraved and oppressive indoctrinations of the totalitarian state. And the attacks will most certainly not stop there.

Just as Governor Newsom stands as the archetype of a self-absorbed, morally debased leftist despot wannabe, so does Pastor Hibbs reflect the time honored qualities of a passionate committed Christian, to stand against such evil, despite the seeming odds (at least from the perspective of this world) against him. But Pastor Hibbs obviously understands that something far greater than any of us, or any mere governmental player, will ultimately judge this situation and all others like it. In the meantime, our part is to stay the course and trust in that judgment.

Five Things New “Preppers” Forget When Getting Ready for Bad Times Ahead
The preparedness community is growing faster than it has in decades. Even during peak times such as Y2K, the economic downturn of 2008, and Covid, the vast majority of Americans made sure they had plenty of toilet paper but didn’t really stockpile anything else.
Things have changed. There’s a growing anxiety in this presidential election year that has prompted more Americans to get prepared for crazy events in the future. Some of it is being driven by fearmongers, but there are valid concerns with the economy, food supply, pharmaceuticals, the energy grid, and mass rioting that have pushed average Americans into “prepper” mode.
There are degrees of preparedness. One does not have to be a full-blown “doomsday prepper” living off-grid in a secure Montana bunker in order to be ahead of the curve. In many ways, preparedness isn’t about being able to perfectly handle every conceivable situation. It’s about being less dependent on government for as long as possible. Those who have proper “preps” will not be waiting for FEMA to distribute emergency supplies to the desperate masses.
Below are five things people new to preparedness (and sometimes even those with experience) often forget as they get ready. All five are common sense notions that do not rely on doomsday in order to be useful. It may be nice to own a tank during the apocalypse but there’s not much you can do with it until things get really crazy. The recommendations below can have places in the lives of average Americans whether doomsday comes or not.

Secured Wealth
Whether in the bank or held in a retirement account, most Americans feel that their life’s savings is relatively secure. At least they did until the last couple of years when de-banking, geopolitical turmoil, and the threat of Central Bank Digital Currencies reared their ugly heads.
It behooves Americans to diversify their holdings. If there’s a triggering event or series of events that cripple the financial systems or devalue the U.S. Dollar, wealth can evaporate quickly. To hedge against potential turmoil, many Americans are looking in two directions: Crypto and physical precious metals.
There are huge advantages to cryptocurrencies, but there are also inherent risks because “virtual” money can become challenging to spend. Add in the push by central banks and governments to regulate or even replace cryptocurrencies with their own versions they control and the risks amplify. There’s nothing wrong with cryptocurrencies today but things can change rapidly.
As for physical precious metals, many Americans pay cash to keep plenty on hand in their safe. Rolling over or transferring retirement accounts into self-directed IRAs is also a popular option, but there are caveats. It can often take weeks or even months to get the gold and silver shipped if the owner chooses to close their account. This is why Genesis Gold Group stands out. Their relationship with the depositories allows for rapid closure and shipping, often in less than 10 days from the time the account holder makes their move. This can come in handy if things appear to be heading south.
Lots of Potable Water
One of the biggest shocks that hit new preppers is understanding how much potable water they need in order to survive. Experts claim one gallon of water per person per day is necessary. Even the most conservative estimates put it at over half-a-gallon. That means that for a family of four, they’ll need around 120 gallons of water to survive for a month if the taps turn off and the stores empty out.
Being near a fresh water source, whether it’s a river, lake, or well, is a best practice among experienced preppers. It’s necessary to have a water filter as well, even if the taps are still working. Many refuse to drink tap water even when there is no emergency. Berkey was our previous favorite but they’re under attack from regulators so the Alexapure systems are solid replacements.
For those in the city or away from fresh water sources, storage is the best option. This can be challenging because proper water storage containers take up a lot of room and are difficult to move if the need arises. For “bug in” situations, having a larger container that stores hundreds or even thousands of gallons is better than stacking 1-5 gallon containers. Unfortunately, they won’t be easily transportable and they can cost a lot to install.
Water is critical. If chaos erupts and water infrastructure is compromised, having a large backup supply can be lifesaving.
Pharmaceuticals and Medical Supplies
There are multiple threats specific to the medical supply chain. With Chinese and Indian imports accounting for over 90% of pharmaceutical ingredients in the United States, deteriorating relations could make it impossible to get the medicines and antibiotics many of us need.
Stocking up many prescription medications can be hard. Doctors generally do not like to prescribe large batches of drugs even if they are shelf-stable for extended periods of time. It is a best practice to ask your doctor if they can prescribe a larger amount. Today, some are sympathetic to concerns about pharmacies running out or becoming inaccessible. Tell them your concerns. It’s worth a shot. The worst they can do is say no.
If your doctor is unwilling to help you stock up on medicines, then Jase Medical is a good alternative. Through telehealth, they can prescribe daily meds or antibiotics that are shipped to your door. As proponents of medical freedom, they empathize with those who want to have enough medical supplies on hand in case things go wrong.
Energy Sources
The vast majority of Americans are locked into the grid. This has proven to be a massive liability when the grid goes down. Unfortunately, there are no inexpensive remedies.
Those living off-grid had to either spend a lot of money or effort (or both) to get their alternative energy sources like solar set up. For those who do not want to go so far, it’s still a best practice to have backup power sources. Diesel generators and portable solar panels are the two most popular, and while they’re not inexpensive they are not out of reach of most Americans who are concerned about being without power for extended periods of time.
Natural gas is another necessity for many, but that’s far more challenging to replace. Having alternatives for heating and cooking that can be powered if gas and electric grids go down is important. Have a backup for items that require power such as manual can openers. If you’re stuck eating canned foods for a while and all you have is an electric opener, you’ll have problems.
Don’t Forget the Protein
When most think about “prepping,” they think about their food supply. More Americans are turning to gardening and homesteading as ways to produce their own food. Others are working with local farmers and ranchers to purchase directly from the sources. This is a good idea whether doomsday comes or not, but it’s particularly important if the food supply chain is broken.
Most grocery stores have about one to two weeks worth of food, as do most American households. Grocers rely heavily on truckers to receive their ongoing shipments. In a crisis, the current process can fail. It behooves Americans for multiple reasons to localize their food purchases as much as possible.
Long-term storage is another popular option. Canned foods, MREs, and freeze dried meals are selling out quickly even as prices rise. But one component that is conspicuously absent in shelf-stable food is high-quality protein. Most survival food companies offer low quality “protein buckets” or cans of meat, but they are often barely edible.
Prepper All-Naturals offers premium cuts of steak that have been cooked sous vide and freeze dried to give them a 25-year shelf life. They offer Ribeye, NY Strip, and Tenderloin among others.
Having buckets of beans and rice is a good start, but keeping a solid supply of high-quality protein isn’t just healthier. It can help a family maintain normalcy through crises.
Prepare Without Fear
With all the challenges we face as Americans today, it can be emotionally draining. Citizens are scared and there’s nothing irrational about their concerns. Being prepared and making lifestyle changes to secure necessities can go a long way toward overcoming the fears that plague us. We should hope and pray for the best but prepare for the worst. And if the worst does come, then knowing we did what we could to be ready for it will help us face those challenges with confidence.
