According to Attorney General Xavier Becerra, once on Hillary Clinton’s short list as a running mate, more than 10 million illegals reside in California. When the illegals get driver’s licenses, the DMV automatically registers them to vote. More than one million “new” voters were registered by 2018, but Padilla won’t say how many actually voted and refuses to comply with federal probes of voter fraud.
Democrats Vs. the People
The conflict didn’t start in 2016.

After Russia collusion, quid pro quo, “obstruction of Congress” and such, it’s clear that Democrats are still trying to overturn the 2016 election. It’s hard to blame them, given the great success of Donald Trump’s predecessor in the White House.
POTUS 44, formerly known as Barry Soetoro, put time back on the clock for Cuba’s Communist regime and helped Iranian mullahs with their cash flow, in exchange for exactly nothing. On the domestic side, the president’s eponymous health plan took away the right to choose. This prepared the way for his chosen successor, Hillary Clinton, to implement “single payer” and complete the complete transformation prophesied in 2008.
Hillary lost, Trump won, and Democrats still refuse to accept the voice of the people. Long before 2016, this rejection of the people was on display in California.
In 1978, when Jerry Brown was governor, soaring property taxes were literally driving people from their homes. Embattled Californians responded with Proposition 13, the People’s Initiative to Limit Property Taxation. This measure capped property tax rates for residential and commercial properties at 1 percent of the assessed value and prevented assessed value from growing more than 2 percent a year. The initiative also required a two-thirds vote of the legislature to enact any change in state taxes designed to increase revenues.
Proposition 13 mandated no spending or state hires, but Brown called it a fraud and a rip-off. In June of 1978, a full 65 percent of California voters approved the measure, a landslide victory. Governor Brown then proclaimed himself a born-again tax cutter but has since spearheaded a tax counterrevolution, and Proposition 13 remains under relentless attack from Democrats and their allies.
On November 4, 1986, California voters passed Proposition 63, the Official Language of California Amendment. This measure directs the state legislature to “preserve the role of English as the state’s common language” and refrain from “passing laws which diminish or ignore the role of English as the state’s common language.” A full 73 percent of California voters approved the measure, a landslide by any definition, but the people got no respect.
“In short, state legislators and public officials acted as if Prop. 63 never existed, “wrote Orange County Register columnist Gordon Dillow in 2006. Some level of proficiency in English is a requirement for American citizenship, in turn a requirement for voting. Yet, in 2016, the California voter guide came in English, Spanish, Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Tagalog, and Vietnamese. For 2018, Secretary of State Alex Padilla, a Democrat, added Punjabi, Hmong, Syriac, Armenian, Persian, and Arabic.
The University of California serves the top 12.5 percent of the graduating high-school class. Since the seventies, the UC had been rejecting highly qualified applicants and reserving spots for “minorities” not academically qualified. In 1996, Californians passed the California Civil Rights Initiative, Proposition 209, ending racial, ethnic, and gender preferences in state-college admissions, state employment, and state contracting.
University of California boss Janet Napolitano, a high-profile Democrat and former Arizona governor, derided the measure as a “legal barrier,” to “diversity.” Napolitano hailed a “partnership” with Mexico and made the UC a sanctuary system, founding and funding the UC Center for Undocumented Student Legal Services. The 4,000 or so illegals now in the UC system pay in-state tuition and Napolitano granted them a $25.2 million aid package, with no compensation from the governments of the illegals’ home countries.
In K-12, California had been teaching Mexican students primarily in Spanish, which hurt their prospects in higher education and the job market. In 1998, Californians passed Proposition 227, the English Language in Public Schools statute, which ended so-called “bilingual education.” Democrats have done everything in their power to block the measure and reforms through ballot measures now face more obstacles.
According to Attorney General Xavier Becerra, once on Hillary Clinton’s short list as a running mate, more than 10 million illegals reside in California. When the illegals get driver’s licenses, the DMV automatically registers them to vote. More than one million “new” voters were registered by 2018, but Padilla won’t say how many actually voted and refuses to comply with federal probes of voter fraud.
The Democrats give illegals welfare, taxpayer-funded health care, in-state tuition and protect them from deportation through sanctuary laws. In return, the illegals vote for Democrats and the ballot measures the want. The illegals function as the Democrats imported electoral college, canceling the vote of legitimate citizens and legal immigrants, blocking reform and keeping Democrats in power. Maybe that is what Michael Bloomberg had in mind when he called California “a great example for the rest of this country.”
Meanwhile, in 2020, Democrats don’t want the people to select the president. They want their party to remove the president from office, and some never-Trump Republicans will doubtless go along. As President Trump says, we’ll have to see what happens but one thing remains clear.
Under any Democrat running for office, particularly Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, you wouldn’t get what you want. You would get only what the government wants you to have. That was the plan of POTUS 44’s chosen successor, and that’s why Democrats have never accepted the voice of the people in 2016.
Voter Fraud Goes Viral
Democrats exploit the pandemic with a push for mail-in ballots.
May 5, 2020

Last month, California governor Gavin Newsom signed an executive order for “all-mail” ballots for elections in May and June. In similar style, Democrats in Congress have been pushing for ballots to be mailed to every registered voter for the November election. What could possibly go wrong? Consider the California experience, starting back in 2004.
Proposition 71, the California Stem Cell Research and Cures Initiative featured Christopher Reeve, Brad Pitt, and Michael J. Fox touting life-saving cures for Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and other diseases. The $3 billion proposition, backed by Democrat tycoon Robert Klein, created the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM). The new state agency promptly hired former state senator and Democrat Party boss Art Torres, and at one point handed out more than 90 percent of its grants to institutions with representatives on its governing board.
By 2020, CIRM had blown through the $3 billion but a ballpark figure for the number of cures and therapies was zero, perhaps the biggest bust in state history. Even so, CIRM is going back to the voters with the $5.5 billion California Stem Cell Research, Treatments, and Cures Initiative of 2020. To get the measure on the ballot, Klein’s Americans for Cures needed 950,000 signatures by April 18, and backers opted to push the envelope.
Signature gatherers have been telling voters the measure was seeking only $1.5 billion, a blatant falsehood. As the deadline approached, Don Reed, Americans for Cures vice president of public policy, began pushing for mail-in signatures. “Your signatures might literally save CIRM, helping us put a $5.5 billion renewal bill on the ballot,” Reed wrote. “Its purpose is to fight chronic diseases, like COVID-19, the dread coronavirus—and so much more!!”
Reed directed readers to a website with instructions to print out 16 pages, including an “address block to fill out, with yourself as the signature collector, and then four (just four!) signatures from people in your county. Your next door neighbors, perhaps.” This package was to be mailed in to Melissa King, executive director of Americans for Cures. She would take care of it from there.
With their fraudulent signature harvesting, the stem cell scammers replicate the “ballot harvesting” of 2018. If things weren’t going the Democrat’s way, party activists simply dredged up fake ballots by any means necessary, and that was enough to push their candidate over the finish line. As it happens, the ballot and signature harvesting comes on comes on top of massive voter fraud already going on in California.
After the 2016 election, California secretary of state Alex Padilla refused to participate in a federal probe of voter fraud. Democrats were already gearing up the “motor voter” plan, a boon for foreign nationals illegally present in the United States. When the illegals get driver’s licenses, the Department of Motor Vehicles automatically registers them to vote.
By 2018, more than one million “new” voters were added to the rolls but Padilla won’t say how many actually voted. Democrats now want mail-in ballots sent to every registered voter across the country, and that would include millions of illegals.
More than 22 million people are illegally present in the United States, according to a recent study by scholars at MIT and Yale. The previous default figure of 11 million is more like the number illegally present in California alone. Last year, when he challenged Trump’s public-charge rule, attorney general Xavier Becerra displayed a chart reading: “California is home to over 10 million immigrants,” code for false-documented illegals.
State Democrats protect the illegals from deportation through sanctuary laws, even the many violent criminals in their ranks. Democrats also give illegals a host of public benefits, including health care, in-state college tuition and welfare, with zero compensation from the governments of the illegals’ own countries. In return for the benefits and protection, the illegals serve as the Democrats’ imported electoral college. This is what Democrats would like to see on a national scale, but there’s a problem.
Democrats and their deep state allies failed to prevent Donald Trump from becoming president and the Russia and Ukraine hoaxes failed to remove him from office. Trump is meeting the challenge of the pandemic, and with November coming up fast, Democrats see viral voter fraud as their best shot to get Joe Biden, or whoever replaces him, into the White House.
Nancy Pelosi, once Gavin Newsom’s aunt by marriage, says Republicans are “afraid of the voice of the people. And that’s one of the reasons they want to stand in the way of a more open democratic system at a time of a pandemic.” In reality, the pandemic makes a stronger case for beefing up voter ID rules.
If people are being tested for coronavirus on a massive scale, it makes sense to verify that all voters are legitimate American citizens as the law requires. To be fair, congressional candidates with unbelievable back stories should also be required to provide full documentation. Munich terrorist’s grandson Ammar Campa-Najjar comes to mind, but others doubtless need scrutiny.
Meanwhile, the signature count for the $5.5 billion California stem cell measure must be completed by June 15. The election takes place on November 3. As President Trump says, we’ll have to wait and see what happens.
