California is a state known for protest. We saw mass protests break out in 2020 over the death of George Floyd, and in 2025 we watched familiar scenes break out in protest against federal immigration enforcement. Most recently, we’ve seen protests once again erupt, but this time over two very different things. When we see demonstrations like this break out, we should stop and question: what is really at stake? And what kind of injustice truly rises to the level of protest?

Fraud isn’t a theoretical problem. It’s real, it’s measurable, and it robs taxpayers of the money they work hard to earn. In recent weeks, Minnesota has become the clearest example of what happens when oversight fails, and quite frankly, no one is watching the money. Now, the federal government is signaling that Minnesota may just be the beginning, and that California could be next. After all, if this level of fraud was hiding in plain sight in Minnesota, what do you think is hiding in California?

One year ago, leaders stood in front of cameras and promised that the Palisades would be rebuilt quickly, safely, and stronger than before. They promised urgency. They promised support. But one year later, we have to ask: did they deliver on these promises? Where are the people who lost their homes today? And should we feel sure that this won’t happen again?

Governor Gavin Newsom insists he’s not anti-gun. He says he supports the Second Amendment, respects lawful gun ownership, and just wants ‘common-sense safety measures.’ But policy is best judged, not by its intentions, but by its outcomes. That brings us to Glocks, one of the most common, affordable, and widely used handguns in the world, and why California is about to make them effectively unavailable to new buyers in 2026.

A new year always brings change – and in California, it also brings a long list of new laws. In 2025, Governor Newsom signed 794 bills into law, touching nearly every aspect of daily life. And while I’d love to believe all 794 were thoughtful, effective, and necessary...that just usually is not the case in our state!

Just this week, the FBI announced a planned terrorist attack in California that it intercepted and thwarted. The suspects are in custody and facing federal charges, but the details of the plot are shocking and unsettling. This planned attack goes far deeper than a random act of violence or extremism. It shows us that ideas, beliefs, and ideologies matter.

In 21 days, the California Agricultural Land Equity Task Force will release a report of recommendations for the Governor on how to increase “land equity” across our state. But, while the task force claims it is working to help right historical injustices and support socially disadvantaged farmers, their recommendations are nothing short of racial discrimination and further regulatory burden. We are peeling back all the layers today and exposing the very dangerous and radical agenda being proposed to our Legislature, and instead calling on our lawmakers to support current farmers, regardless of their identity or race.  

Is socialism coming to California? Rae Chen Huang’s mayoral run has drawn comparisons to Zohran Mamdani in New York. In this article, we dive into her background, her faith-driven activist roots, and the rise of Democratic Socialism shaping L.A. politics – and why it will never deliver on the promises it makes.

For years, California has pushed faith-based families out of the foster care system. But a major legal shift and a new executive order may open the door for change. Here’s why there’s new hope for foster care in California - and why your voice matters now more than ever.

Proposition 50 – the topic of last week’s special election – passed with overwhelming support from California voters. What exactly does this mean for our state and the conservatives living in it? Plus, how do we move forward from such a devastating loss? Is California truly still worth fighting for?

The federal government is still shutdown, and this past weekend the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, was in danger of suspension. This sparked national outrage, with SNAP beneficiaries even threatening to steal if their benefits were not paid out to them. California is home to over 10% of the federal program’s recipients, making this a key issue in our state to understand and address.

But while we continue to hear the argument over and over that millions of Americans will starve without this program, we have to ask – is that really true, or is there more going on that we need to be aware of? Plus, what is the role of government when it comes to social welfare programs, and are Christians required to support the SNAP program out of compassion?

Proposition 50 is one of the most dangerous threats to fair representation we’ve seen in years, and it’s flying completely under the radar. It isn’t some minor policy tweak; it’s a backdoor that will reshape how our votes count in California if passed. Whether you’re conservative, liberal, or somewhere in between – this issue is not partisan and you need to know what’s really going on before you vote.

Over the last few weeks, multiple polls have shown something no one expected — rising voter sentiment for conservatives over Democrats, and even a Republican candidate taking first place in California’s race for Governor. Could this be the start of a red wave in 2026? And is it actually possible that, for the first time since 2011, California could elect a Republican Governor?

From yelling at staff to ending interviews early when asked too many questions – the optics haven’t been great for Democratic candidate for Governor Katie Porter, and many are questioning her future in politics. What do these revelations teach us about evaluating candidates? Are the issues in these videos the most important qualities that we should be focused on? And most importantly, how should all of this shape your preparation for next November?

An oil refinery just south of LAX exploded, sending shockwaves across California’s already fragile energy market. And as if that weren’t enough, the federal government shut down, which affects our state in more ways than you might think. But among all the chaos, I have good news for you about one very practical step you can take TODAY to make positive change in our state!

California’s SB 771 claims to fight “harmful” content online, but is it really just a censorship bill in disguise? Today we break down what the bill would do, why it raises serious First Amendment concerns, and how it clashes with legal precedents like Section 230. Free speech in California is on the line!

As of the end of June, California housing prices are twice as expensive as the typical home in the United States. Purchasing a two-bedroom home in our state is nearly twice as expensive as just renting, with the latest studies estimating the median household income needed to buy a mid-tier home is 238,000 dollars.

But, as I point out so often, this problem is not inevitable. Today, I want to look at a few recent housing policies that aren’t solving the problem – and in some cases, are making it worse.

One common liberal claim is that California’s strong gun control laws prevent gun violence in California so effectively that it is a model for the rest of the country. Our Governor has been an outspoken advocate for more gun control laws to prevent tragedies like mass shootings, and as a result California has become the most heavily regulated state when it comes to gun ownership. So, what are the facts about gun violence and what are effective ways to prevent it? Should the nation adopt California’s model for gun control measures?

If you’ve been following the headlines lately, you’ve probably seen the claim that California’s crime rates are down, and our state is supposedly safer than Republican-led places like Tennessee or Arkansas. But if you live here, that may not match what you experience day to day. So, what’s the truth? Are crime rates really dropping in a meaningful way? And does Gavin Newsom’s leadership make California safer than it would be under a conservative governor?

What do a conservative podcast episode, the announcement of In-N-Out opening an HQ in Tennessee, California’s latest bill on redistricting, a deadly car crash in Florida, and our Governor’s posts on X all have in common with each other? I believe there is a common thread connecting these stories that is very important for us to address, and that is the idea that when our government leaders show us who they are, we should believe them.
