California, a state whose very name used to conger up images of freedom, has passed a new law which effectively criminalizes investigative journalism. At least investigative journalism that could in any way reflect poorly on Democrats and their various propaganda arms. The \u201cStop Nick Shirley Act\u201d officially takes effect on Oct.\u00a01, 2027, after being passed by the Senate on August 18\u00a0and the state Assembly a day later. It was then sent to Gov. Gavin Newsom\u2019s desk, and The Slick One, Hand Dancer, signed it into law a few days later.<\/p>\n

AB 2624, the preposterously anti-American and seemingly unconstitutional law, was introduced by Assemblywoman Mia Bonta, who — get this — is married to California\u2019s far-left Attorney General, Rob Bonta. Can you say, \u201cconflict of interest?\u201d \u201cNepotism?\u201d This openly tyrannical law erases freedom of the press <\/em>from the confines of California, at least partially repealing the First Amendment \u2014 and seems more in keeping with a China, North Korea, or Iran.<\/p>\n

Which is ironic. Just two days earlier, Newsom was braying about Trump\u00a0shutting down ‘the free press.’<\/p>\n

The law is designed so that NGOs who receive money from government immigrant services don’t have to disclose where that money came from, or what they have done to \u201cdeserve\u201d it. It ostensibly safeguards \u201cimmigration support service providers\u201d from harassment, though its real intent is to protect laughably fraudulent illegal alien and undocumented immigrant businesses from scrutiny \u2026 and Democrats from having their kickbacks and other \u201cshenanigans\u201d discovered. They don\u2019t want their \u201cLearing Centers\u201d disturbed, because if they give them millions their votes are assured.<\/p>\n

So, Nick Shirley\u2019s videos can be forced offline. And citizens and journalists alike can be dragged into court, financially ruined, and even jailed if they have the utter temerity to try to bring transparency to government affairs and accountability to those \u201cpublic servants\u201d who spend taxpayer\u2019s money like drunken sailors on shore leave after a year at sea.<\/p>\n

This legislation would have effectively criminalized the investigations undertaken by young citizen journalist Nick Shirley, inquiries that exposed the massive fraud schemes rampant across Minnesota and California.<\/p>\n

Democrats incessantly blather on about \u201csaving our democracy,\u201d yet it is obvious to any sentient being that they detest democracy, this republic, freedom– and hate anyone who disagrees with them with the white-hot intensity of a thousand suns, tolerance and inclusion be damned.<\/p>\n

The founders knew that a free press was essential to a free republic. Unfortunately, we don\u2019t have one now, and they would be heartbroken. Incredibly, various mainstream media outlets are either ignoring the passage of this act or attempting to make it sound reasonable \u2014 or other than what it is, an all-out assault on liberty, their political opponents, and sanity. One press account went so far as to post an AI-generated meme depicting Shirley as a creepy man attempting to break into daycares.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This could not be further from the truth. Shirley believed that these daycare centers he was investigating contained no children \u2026 hence the investigation. And he was right. He is trying to expose mind-boggling levels of fraud, abuse of taxpayer dollars, political cronyism, and worse. How could he<\/em> be the bad guy?! And yet, there are those who somehow blame him. For something. Gotta protect those illegal alien criminals and fraudsters!<\/p>\n

How does one become so ill? (And there are also those proudly standing up for Lindsay Clancy and Luigi Mangione, most of them women. Monsters. Some of these same karens and Hasan Piker-likers still openly cheer \u2014\u00a0and mock\u00a0— the assassination\u00a0of Charlie Kirk.)<\/p>\n

The media long ago picked sides. Which led to the death of \u201cjournalists.\u201d The erstwhile \u201cLand of Milk and Honey\u201d just codified this travesty. The \u201cGolden State\u201d is no more.<\/p>\n
