State officials also Thursday erected a temporary 6-foot chain link fence around the state Capitol, bolstering other temporary and permanent barriers, and the California Highway Patrol has refused to issue permits for rallies that had been planned there.
California has an active effort to recall Newsom, anger over the governor’s stay-at-home orders aimed at slowing spread of the coronavirus, and ample numbers of right-wing activists.
The Capitol already has been the site of weekly weekend clashes between Trump supporters and counter-demonstrators.
Hundreds of Guard members were deployed in Sacramento and elsewhere in the state last summer amid sometimes destructive protests over the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police.
The California state Capitol has largely been locked down for months because of the coronavirus pandemic. But lawmakers began meeting there again this week.
The highway patrol rejected a request for a daylong “Let Freedom Ring” rally Sunday that organizer Chris Bish had expected to draw 3,000 people. She said the goal was to gather petition signatures to recall Newsom, to register voters, to support her congressional campaign, and “to peacefully protest our compromised election.”
The highway patrol also barred what was billed as a “Peoples Inauguration Day Peace Rally,” for 100 people on Wednesday “due to the potential for civil unrest.”
“It is not wise to get mixed up on any potential nightmares that could happen this weekend or next week,” Bish said. “Let the fringe do what the fringe is going to do, because they’re not part of Middle America.”

You know, the left wins no matter what on this deal. If there is trouble (probably a false flag operation anyway), then they will use it as an excuse to take away more rights. If nobody shows up and all is peaceful, they will say it proves that we are all happy as we can be about the Biden presidency. Makes you want to bang your head on the wall.
Our new police state on display.
I California? I thought they were all for peace and love there?
Idiots are going to send all there guards there and leave themselves wide open for a attack.
California?
It’s all about French Laundry for the ranking Party Officials, and poop on the sidewalk for everyone else
I think these National Guardsmen ought to arrest the dems who are destroying America.
It’s looking more and more like a military dictatorship. I wonder who the new Jew is for these new fascists?
So now the Dems care about unrest.
They are vastly overdoing the precautions. This tells me they are likely going to stage some kind of incident.
Meanwhile, Joe can stay safe in his basement. Will Google-Earth continue to display where the First Basement is located? I am guessing that has not changed.
He’s inept
A TIME FOR UNITY
“Unity” to the left, has always meant “get in line or else”.
“It’s what people know about themselves inside that makes ‘em afraid”
Putting together a group of 1000 people to be gathered at one place is a violation of Newsome’s stay at home order.
Maybe they can all guard the capitol via a zoom meeting.
You thinking the same as I am thinking?
A dollar says nothing will happen. Unless Antifa wants to pretend to be MAGA people.
we learned our lesson, if we're not there it makes it harder for them to infiltrate
“All experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.”
It appears Americans find the current evils sufferable.
