1 replies | More lunacy for california | By Mike Goodey on 9/6/25 12:52pm
Those of you that have daughters or granddaughters: The school counsel in Temecula, CA. is about to implement a plan that requires girls in junior high and high school to fill out a mental health form if they refuse to allow male genders to use their bathrooms and/or locker rooms. The form is referred to as the " Mental Health accommodation Request form." This is the accommodation request: I am requesting a mental health accommodation on behalf of my child.This request is made in accordance with federal and state laws, including Section 504of the Rehabilitation Act, the individuals with DisabilitiesEducation Act (DEA) and California Education Codes.
Please describe the mental health condition and the nature of the accommodation being requested (e.g. diagnosed anxiety, PTSD, etc.)
If available, please attach supporting documentation (e.g. medical diagnosis, 504 Plan, counseling records, etc.)
I understand that my child may be eligible for accommodations through a 504 Plan or other support services, and that the school will collaborate with me to identify appropriate options to support my child's well-being.
All this because a female doesn't want to have a male share and expose themselves in a locker room or bathroom! This mental health form may follow a female all through her career especially trying to apply for a security clearance. (gun permit) I know Janet has replied about the reading she has done on hormones and chromosomes, so are you saying that God made a mistake? Really?

5 replies | AB 495 | By Mike Goodey on 8/31/25 6:10pm
The lunacy of the liberal California government bewilders my wife and I. After going through both houses this bill was to be presented to governor Newsom to sign into law on Sept. 19th. On the 18th the bill was put on hold. Thankfully thousands showed up on that Tuesday to protest the governor's signing of that bill. If you have not heard, according to some of the most prestigious law firms, that Ab 495 is so vague that it allows anyone (ANYONE) to download a form on a computer, fill out a child's name and go to the school and take that child out of school with no ID shown or request from a parent. The school does not need to ask for anything as long as the form is filled out. I understand that Celeste Fernandez, (D) from San Fernando intended this bill to protect illegal immigrant children from being taken away but again I bring up the fact that it is too vague. What about school children who are citizens? They need protection too! It reminds me of Nancy Pelosi telling congress to just vote on Obamacare and when it passes, THEN you can read it. We are all for protecting our school children but this bill lacks good judgement. I hope and pray that governor Newsom has the wisdom to veto this bill.

0 replies | “I’m also proud of those of us who stood up...” | By SC/CA on 8/27/25 2:21pm
“I’m disappointed but not surprised,” Case said, adding that she was aware of at least six other FEMA workers who received similar emails. “I’m also proud of those of us who stood up, regardless of what it might mean for our jobs.
The public deserves to know what’s happening, because lives and communities will suffer if this continues.” The “Katrina Declaration” letter warns that critical reforms enacted after the failed response to Hurricane Katrina are being unraveled, as the Trump administration moves to either abolish or drastically shrink FEMA’s role.
The move echoes actions taken earlier this summer, when the Trump administration suspended roughly 140 employees from the Environmental Protection Agency days after they signed a public letter raising concerns about the treatment of federal workers and the Trump administration’s regulations on climate and public health.
http://www.cnn.com/2025/08/26/politics/fema-workers-administrative-leave-katrina-declaration-trump
“The Katrina Declaration is a recent letter from FEMA employees expressing concerns about cuts to disaster preparedness and response capabilities, issued just before the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.
Context and Purpose
The "Katrina Declaration and Petition to Congress" was released on August 25, 2025, by a group of current and former employees of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). This declaration aims to raise awareness about significant reductions in funding and staffing that could hinder the agency's ability to respond effectively to disasters. The letter emphasizes the need for reforms to restore FEMA's capacity to manage emergencies and support local responders.
Key Concerns Raised
1. Staffing Reductions: The declaration highlights that one-third of FEMA's full-time staff left the agency in 2025, which has severely impacted its operational capacity.
2. Funding Cuts: Employees criticize recent cuts to essential programs, including the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) and the National Fire Academy, which are vital for disaster preparedness.
3. Delayed Responses: The letter cites specific instances, such as delays in responding to flooding in Kerrville, Texas, where mission assignments were reportedly held up for up to 72 hours, affecting the agency's ability to assist during emergencies. Political Interference: The declaration also addresses concerns about staff being reassigned to other federal agencies, such as ICE, and the impact of political decisions on FEMA's effectiveness.
Call to Action
The employees hope that their warnings will prompt Congress to take action to prevent a repeat of the failures experienced during Hurricane Katrina. They argue that without adequate support and resources, the agency's ability to respond to future disasters is at risk, potentially endangering American lives and property.
This declaration serves as a critical reminder of the ongoing challenges faced by disaster response agencies and the importance of maintaining robust support for emergency management initiatives.”

1 replies | Wow! Just Wow. | By Roadie_MD on 8/27/25 2:16pm
I am an occasional reader of the forums on NR. Clicked on the Just Politics tab to see what was being discussed--what a joke! No real dialog, primarily CA lefties spreading TDS and hate. And the choir chiming in as expected.
If I was interested in this BS I would just go on Facebook. Anger makes you ugly. It's going to be a long 4 (hopefully more) years for you. Have a nice day all.

3 replies | We’re being groomed to hate. | By SC/CA on 7/29/25 2:16pm
Prolific and profitable fake news sites and podcasts (and many other organizations like Qanon, and normalizing hate groups, etc) are monetizing hatred. We target the “others.” Kill the programs that help the “others” (and we’re all the others). Even if it affects us personally - we don’t care, because we hate them so much.
We’ve been told for years, repeatedly, from many sources (even if it isn’t real) how horrible “those” people are. We are bonded by our joint hatred. Our very identity depends on it. We form unions, allies, and friendships – all with the common theme of hating the others.
Working together toward finding solutions is unimaginable. Finding strength in our differences and seeing common ground is unimaginable. Seeing any solution at all, with those people – is beyond me.
It’s a marketing scheme gone rouge. We get our information from hatred hawkers rather than from verifying facts. Facts have no bearing on my decision making. And don’t try to tell me otherwise, because I won’t listen, nor do I care about so-called facts because I don’t trust you, or anyone else. I’m living in a pile of mistrust manure. Critical thinking and facts are gone and have been replaced by pure hatred and fear. I need to blame others, always.
We’ve been told that we cannot trust the others, that we cannot trust our government. We fear them and want them gone. Our decisions and actions are based on fear, hatred, and mistrust. We certainly cannot even think that we can work with them – the others. They are evil, subhuman, and will surely go to hell- or at least I pray that they do, to my God the only God, not their God who is evil. Destruction and death are the only solutions.
We must kill the government, banish the people. And blame the others. If I cannot blame the others or destroy something, what will I do? Find solutions? Take responsibility? Trust someone who has a different opinion? Suspend judgment of the others? Dream on! ROTFL.

Representatives of the U.S. should not get kickbacks from Ukraine from the war. Millions of and millions have been paid out to both democrats and republicans. This includes Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Dan Crenshaw. Mitch McConnell, Adam Shiff and many many more including Joe Biden! All this for the weapons sent to Ukraine. Look it up!
You won’t believe the amount of millions put in their pockets.

Our esteemed governor Newsom called president Trump almost every name in the book. When I.C.E. agents went to a marijuana plantation to serve a warrant they were victims of physical abuse. Of course Newsom changed it saying that the agents were the attackers when they only retaliated by having stones and bottles thrown at them. Newsom referred to this plantation as a "vegetable" farm. REALLY???? How about getting your facts straight before you out and out lie!!!!!!!
Naturally democrats are unhinged at the fact that minors were separated from their parents. When do adult detainees stay with minors? Only in Biden mind.

5 replies | Big Beautiful Bill | By Mike Goodey on 7/3/25 3:57pm
Congress has passed this bill having to wait until Hakeem Jeffries finished his windbag speech. Per Joe Biden who replied that this bill would hurt millions who depend on medicaid and many who depend on rural hospitals...medicaid is for those who actually need it not for those who want it for free because they are lazy. Rural hospitals will get 50B in aid.
Of course as Joe Biden was spewing this rhetoric he said "Look at that beautiful butterfly!" Jill corrected him by saying "That's an airplane."

1 replies | And just like that, Trump won and now... | By Moneyman/TX on 6/27/25 9:40am
people have learned to once again use the legal term, illegal aliens, and use it properly! Even Dems and their blind followers, especially those useful idiots, now use it properly.
LOL They no loner even attempt to distort the meaning of the phrase by showing off their one digit I.Q. level as they used to do when they claimed "It's undocumented ... this or that" or "no one is illegal" -- uh, yeah -- it's right there in the first word of the perfectly legitimate and honest legal term for someone who is in a country without the legal permission of that county.
I can't wait to see how much more normalcy and common sense is once again found in our country before he leaves office. This is exciting!!
Wow! That's shows just how far off into the crazy we have come to accept thanks to the far left nuts, when it can be described as "exciting", when people are returning to using the proper terms again. It's almost as if a lot of people are once again using the family dictionary (printed version) that was passed on to them after their parents have passed on. :-)

At least Trump did something about Iran, a terrorist country. Did Biden? NO! He gave the Iranians billions of dollars which led to their uranium projects advancing at breakneck speed. Now, after the bombing of 3 nuclear sites, Iran wants a cease fire...go figure!
If Donald Trump saved a child from drowning in the ocean, the leaders of the left would criticize him for starving the sharks. They have no answers only criticism.
Now Kamala is thinking about running for California governor? Hasn't she been humiliated enough?
