In a presentation on the new measures, Newsom called several issues “California’s existential threats.” These included “fighting COVID with science,” “Combating the climate crisis,” “confronting homelessness,” “tackling the cost of living,” and “keeping our streets safe.”
The San Francisco Chronicle reported , “The governor said his budget will also include about $300 million to combat organized retail theft , increasingly brazen smash-and-grab crimes that have drawn national attention.”
The plan also has $255 million for a grant program to provide police with more resources to arrest and investigate burglars.
The governor is also attempting to control the wildfires in the state.
The Chronicle also reported that Newsom wants to put an additional $1.2 billion towards wildfire prevention programs, like actions to move brush out of overgrown forests. “This comes on top of $1.5 billion California set aside for forest management in the current budget,” the outlet noted.
One of the most controversial aspects of the proposal includes his expansion of Medi-Cal, the state’s health care service for low-income individuals.
On Monday, Newsom said , “California is poised to be, if this proposal is supported, the first state in the country to achieve universal access to health coverage. So what does that mean. It means full scope Medi-Cal including long term care, IHSS, to all low-income Californians regardless of immigration status, regardless of their age, regardless of their immigration status.”California started including immigrants who are 26 years of age and under in its Medicaid program a few years ago. Last year, it expanded the service to people who are 50 years old and up. Newsom is now calling on […]
Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
