Is San Francisco…Conservative?

When you think of San Francisco, you probably don’t think of a place that is politically moderate. The Bay Area has historically been a political lightning rod, known for its progressive policies and the unlivable outcomes of those policies. But what if the most ‘radical’ thing San Francisco did recently…was start agreeing with conservatives on basic realities? The city has begun to shift, and it just might have rediscovered common sense.

The “Stop Nick Shirley Act” is a LIE

What if I told you California just introduced a bill that could make it a felony to expose fraud, just for posting what you find online? That would be crazy! Well, unfortunately for us that is the case in California, as lawmakers once again hide behind “immigration” and “protecting the vulnerable” to pass a much more sinister agenda.

How to Engage in Politics…Without Losing Your Mind

The news cycle is a lot. Trying to keep up with what is happening, especially when what is happening is divisive or depressing, is both stressful and unsustainable. Just preaching the principled necessity of engaging in politics is not enough to practically help those who feel burdened by it. In effect, the question I want to help answer for you is not why, but how to engage in politics, and how to do so without losing your mind.

Democrats Divided Over California’s Wealth Tax!

Well, California is considering one of the most aggressive tax proposals in the country – a 5 percent tax on the net worth of every billionaire living in the state.

Major Legal Wins in California – Is the Tide Turning?

If you live in California, it can sometimes feel like politics is a one-sided affair. After all, there is a supermajority in our legislature! But in just the last few weeks, higher courts have stepped in and delivered major blows to some of the most aggressive policies our state government has treated as untouchable. From gun rights, to parental rights, to immigration enforcement, we are watching federal judges remind California of something it has tried so hard to forget: the Constitution still applies here.

California’s Break from Federal Health Policy

Medical freedom is at the forefront of the political conversation today, but it isn’t just a national conversation. Here in California, decisions are being made that reshape who controls health policy, how scientific guidance is evaluated, and whether individuals retain the ability to weigh risk for themselves and their families. As the federal government steps away from global health institutions like the World Health Organization, California has chosen a different path.

Why Comparing ICE to Iran Is Morally Wrong

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?

How Minnesota’s Fraud Scandal Exposes California

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 After the Palisades Fire

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?

Another Year, Another Gun Ban!

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.

California’s Most Ridiculous Laws for 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!
