I understand all the signers also breathe “air” and drink “water.”

That’s mighty scary sounding, if you ask me.

I think your observations are valid.

Momentum has picked up, obviously. There are several locations each week that the San Francisco group a staffing - as well as a list of many businesses. But these things take some time.

We had a table at walk for life - actually three tables, and some wanderers - and got I’d guess about 300 more signatures? We give packets to those willing to take them home and get more signatures etc.

It really is looking good.

But what is the alternative? Quit? Nope.

“How does one deal with that?”

Multitudes of ways, most of them valid.

It is a good defense for me that I have absolutely nothing to lose. It’s harder if you have assets!

I just cheerfully deny any false accusations. Ignore the few that insult me in person. I help with the email campaign too - I’ve gotten just one nasty email back and I just removed them from the list as requested and let it go.

For this campaign I am not really trying to convince anybody. If they like the way California is being run they are simply too dumb or doctrinaire to convince. I believe most Californians are horrified at the extent of the lockdown, the wildfires, the legalization of crime, the indulgence of riots, the incredible financial excesses, the anti business atmosphere, etc. they just need to know where to sign.

https://sputniknews.com/us/202101231081858794-california-governor-newsom-in-hot-water-for-hushing-up-formulas-used-to-determine-lockdown-tiers/

For those uncomfortable with the Sputnik link, summary:

*** “1/23/2021 CA Gov Newsom is under fire for lifting the lockdown on Sacramento even though ICU capacity is less than 10%. The state is using hidden formulas re: ICU capacity to make these determinations, but generally lockdown measures increase when ICU capacity is less than 15%. Govt response to this hypocrisy for govt and fat cats in Sacramento is “ the public wouldn’t understand.”” ***

Newsom is an absolute abysmal failure as governor. In common with his aunt Pelosi Queen Witch of Sodom, Newsom is the former Mayor of Sodom. He was Lt Gov to Jerry Brown, Jr, 16 year Gov of CA and son of Jerry Brown Sr. All 4 if these people are related to and intermarried with the J.Paul Getty family which has been running CA for 80 years with the possible exceptions of governors Ronald Reagan and Pete Wilson. (Schwarzenegger was a Hollywood RINO).

As it stands, SODOM is controlling 39 million Americans which is more than 10% of the US population. And SODOM is controlling the House of Reps. I saw a Euro comment asking why Americans or Californians don’t vote out that hideous Nancy Pelosi - the typical Euro doesn’t understand the USA system enough to know that ONLY SODOM put their Witch there. At least it sits on the San Andreas fault... as does its sister city, home of the unbearable identity politics hatefest LATimes, GOMORRAH.

I appreciate that, I try to do the same.

But there seems to be a wall created by institutional actors/factions that the individual has no way to overcome.
It is overwhelming.

Looking for options.

The Lincoln Project.

Another name for a group of democrats who don’t want to be called democrats, but are in most every way.

In any case, they are NOT Republicans.

The far left lunatic fringe writers at LATimes are playing on the Black Grievance Industry label because they are not intelligent enough to coin a distinct term. Booker T. Washington even wrote about these types who make their living on Black Grievance. Show me any Whites who make their living complaining and racebaiting like Joy Reid and Al Sharpton. It is simply as you noted, invalidation of everything “white”.

https://www.azquotes.com/author/15322-Booker_T_Washington

“There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.” ~ Booker T. Washington

Check out this other great B.T. Washington quote as it applies to DONALD TRUMP:

“Most leaders spend time trying to get others to think highly of them, when instead they should try to get their people to think more highly of themselves. It’s wonderful when the people believe in their leader. It’s more wonderful when the leader believes in their people! You can’t hold a man down without staying down with him.” ~ Booker T. Washington

You will never see the LATimes or Rev Wright of Chicago quoting B.T. Washington! Throw that in their face.

BOL: “My wife says if Neswsom is recalled, Trump should run for Governor of California.”

You wife might be more of an evil conservative than you are.

The Los Angeles Times, ... yep those "Reporters" know who they have to please,

After union activists bombed The Los Angeles Times, killing 21, the labor movement was ruined

After all, Marxists are their "Friends," ... just don't cross 'em.

“has ties to” is soviet-think.

Words matter. The left has mastered language and it is as good as chains.

#9. The LA and “typical leftist smears” is pretty accurate. Their writers use the Alinsky tactics of “smear and ridicule”. It says so right in his book “Rules for Radicals” which is dedicated to Satan (or his human devotees Schumer, Pelosi, Waters, Omar, Tlaib etc., the “usual leftist/Marxist/jihadist activities).

Proof that this group is made up of evil worshippers? Every time they make a claim against patriots, we say “What the Hell did they say”? Guilt by word association.//SARC!!!!!!

The Epoch Times is hardly “far-right”. Anti-communist and conservative, yes. “Far right”, hardly, but to the LA Times and its evil spawned sibling the NY Times and Wash. Post, any one to the right of Stalin is “far-right”.

I wouldn’t know QAnon from “Q Tips” if I saw them. I do know about AAnon, “Alcoholics Anonymous”, a very well respected health care group.

If the LA Times wants to do some actual investigative journalism, which I have been doing for 50 years, then they should look into BLM and its Marxist leaders (avowed) and their doctrines, again, avowed in their “program”.

The same applies to “Antifa” which arose out of not only the German extremist group of the same name, but from the Marxist/anarchist created and led groups of the Red Bloc/Black Bloc of the 1999 and 2000 Seattle/World Trade Organizations violent riots (”insurrections if you watch the videos of them) - led by Walden Bello, a Filippino Marxist who has supported the maoist “New Peoples Army” in that country.

Bello was also a writer for the maoist-oriented US weekly Marxist newspaper “The Guardian”. One of his series of articles for The Guardian was that of June (10)1987 entitled “Military riding high; U.S. policy shifting to right”. He is described by the paper as “Walden Bello is a senior analyst specializing in Philippine and Pacific affairs at the Institute for Food and Development Policy (IFDP), a related project of the Marxist “Institute for Policy Studies” (IPS).

Bello was characterized by author S. Stephen Powell in his masterwork on IPS, “Covert Cadre” as “Walden Bello, a “Counterspy” advisory board member and frequent participant at IPS functions...” Counterspy was a project of avowed CIA agent turned Marxist traitor Philip Agee (also of the “Covert Action Information Bulletin” (CAIB) (p. 158).

Powell also identified Bello as “board members of CounterSpy’s successor, “National Report”..” p. 363 in the chapter ‘Soviet Objectives and IPS Objectives’.

Bello was also identified in some leftist publication as a professor at a Filipino university.

Real journalists would have known and written about Bello and his other marxist cohorts as far back as 1999 and traced their “strategy hands” in succeeding Red/Black Bloc riots including those of Antifa.

But, then again, that would call for “real investigative journalists” with ethics, research skills, and a devotion to the “truth” via documented facts and even original documents, to do some “digging” as we used to call it in archaeological digs I used to work on.

Getting “dirty” digging for the truth is not a strong point of the leftist media in the US today and hasn’t really been for many decades.

That is why some of us formed Accuracy in Media in 1969 to fight against the leftist garbage of the NY Times and the Washington Post, and then created CAMERA (Committee for Accurate Media Reporting in America) re the pro-PLO/PFLP slant of the Washington Post and other media voices, in the late 1980s.

This time we have the internet, conservative investigative reports (Andy Ngo, Ruffo, Project Veritas, Sara Carter, John Sullivan/Just the News, Catherine Herridge, Greg Jarrett and others on our/America’s side to take the battle for “honesty and accuracy in news reporting” against the Left and for use by American patriots.

We must thank Al Gore (I can’t believe I ate the whole thing) inventor of the internet for giving us a weapon with which to beat the crap out of Leftist journalism. Without him, it would still be pencils and typewriters as our only weapons.

No more retreat. No more leftist lies left unchallenged. No destruction of our First Amendment rights.

We must fight the Left, and in the words of Winston Churchill, “Never retreat. Never give-in. On to victory”!
