I talked about the dangers of the MAiD program in Canada just yesterday. Well, a new study came out yesterday making the MAiD program look bad and the Second Amendment look pretty good.
California keeps adding regulations that give the state government more control, takes power away from small communities, and will make your life far more expensive. That’s what good communists do.
And, the Bible has always warned us to beware and shun false prophets. This advice is as true today as it was 2000 years ago.
So, What Is More Dangerous?
According to the Post Millennial:
Canada’s medical assistance in dying (MAID) program accounted for more deaths than gun homicides in the United States in 2024. This is despite the US having roughly eight times the population as Canada.
A total of 16,499 people received MAID in Canada in 2024, according to Health Canada’s Sixth Annual Report on MAID, the latest report available. In the US, 15,364 people were killed by a gun in 2024, per a report from the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Violence Solutions. The MAID total is 1,135 higher.
MAID deaths reached a record high in 2024 and made up around 5 percent of all deaths in Canada, or about 1 in 20.
Senator Mike Lee commented on the difference between the death rates with MAID and gun homicide and responded, “State-administered death is now more common in Canada than gun homicide is in the U.S. That didn’t happen by accident.”
Good Job, Gavin!
According to the California Post:
Californians may have to pay even higher homeowners association fees thanks to a law that could be signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom before the end of the month.
Assembly Bill 2050 would require HOAs to maintain a 30-year reserve fund and conduct a study of the reserve account.
If an HOA’s reserves fund is projected to fall below zero at any point during the 30 years, the association must transfer at least 15% of its gross annual budget into reserves each year beginning January 2032.
If the HOA’s budget can’t cover the required transfer, the bill requires the HOA to raise fees on homeowners through a “special assessment.” It’s not clear how much the bill could raise monthly fees for homeowners.
The law would affect millions, as nearly a quarter of California households pay HOA according to U.S. Census Bureau data.
Newsom has until September 30 to sign the bill into law or veto it.
Later in the article, I found the reason why the California government wants to control community organizations:
Proponents of the bill say it would make sure HOAs are better able to keep up building maintenance and other costs. Robert DeNichilo, legislative co-chair at the Community Associations Institute’s California Legislative Action Committee, told the SF Chronicle that the bill budgets “the actual cost of ownership.”
In California, HOAs can can increase regular dues by up to 20% per fiscal year without a vote from community members.
That’s Why Women Aren’t Pastors
Here is Babs Miller, the lesbian pastor of St. Andrews Presbyterian Church in Texas. This is the “church” James Talarico attends and preaches.
James Talarico is the Senate candidate in Texas, running against the awful candidate, Ken Patterson. In case you don’t know much about Talarico, he is a socialist that for trans-ing the kids, getting rid of all fossil fuels, believes God and Jesus are non-binary, thinks that Jesus supported illegal immigration, and thinks everyone should be a vegan.
This is crazy talk. This is blasphemy.
- God was not just a vengeful God in the Old Testament. He was training us.
- The Virgin Birth is the cornerstone of the Christian faith.
- Mary was not married when she conceived through the holy spirit.
- Joseph married her anyway because God told him to in a dream.
- Mary ascended into Heaven, as Jesus did, and was crowned Queen of Heaven and Earth.
- This was accounted for by the prophets and apostles.
- The free choice and having the ability to think for ourselves.
- We already know this.
- Jesus wrote parables about it (Matthew 25:14–30) about the landowner giving his servants different amounts of money to invest.
- We also have free will. We can reject God (Jesus is God) as this woman has done.
- We always have choice. The Old Testament and Jesus in the New Testament always taught this.
- As far as the 12-step program, she’s wrong.
- I was in AA. You did not get rid of anything.
- The goal was to get rid of your resentments and ATONE for your past transgressions (SINS).
- In fact, to cure oneself, one needed to believe in a higher power, which was God.
- We closed every session with either the Our Father or the Serenity Prayer.
- Jesus did exist. Every legitimate historian believes Jesus existed.
- The Romans kept records including tax records, census records, and citizenship records. Jesus is listed.
- It was also listed that Jesus was a problem and it was because He was teaching against the Sanhedrin. This was recorded.
- Roman leadership wrote about Jesus in their diaries, usually not in endearing terms.
- There were witnesses at the Crucifixion that were converted, including Roman soldiers. They wrote about it.
- St. Paul was a pro-Roman Pharisee and a witness of Christ’s life. He wrote a huge portion of the New Testament.
- Three of the four Gospels were written by Jesus’ desciples.
- The New Testament of the Bible is an actual historical record of Jesus’ life. No one doubts this and there has been confirmation.
- Science is even beginning to believe the Shroud of Turin is real!
