The Sacramento Bee covered a lawsuit filed by Harmeet Dhillon and the Center for American Liberty against Gavin Newsom over giving out welfare checks to illegal aliens.

“We are a nation of laws and California perhaps its own ‘nation-state’ of laws as Governor Newsom might say, but regardless of Governor Newsom’s noble intentions, he may not grant unemployment benefits or other cash benefits contrary to the law,” the petition reads in part.

Dhillon in a statement said that state money intended to address the coronavirus emergency is not “a slush fund for the governor to spend as he sees fit.”

“Governor Newsom is ignoring the proper, and constitutional, channel to appropriate funds. At a time when law-abiding Californians are crushed by unemployment, housing issues, business closures, and massive limitations on our normal lives, Governor Newsom is doing an end-run around the legal guardrails in place,” Dhillon said.

The two plaintiffs in the case are Republican Nominees for Assembly. Ricardo Benitez for Assembly has a Facebook Page you can visit to show support. Jessica Martinez for Assembly has a website and you can donate to her campaign using this page. My research has indicated that not a single incumbent Republican legislator would sign on to this lawsuit, but these two brave LEGAL immigrant Republican candidates did. (More of that re-framing the message?) Given what happened in the AD73 Race, I can not say I am surprised by this at all.

The Center for American Liberty was founded by Harmeet Dhillon in order to defend the rule of law and the rights of Conservatives being victimized in leftist jurisdictions that allow ANTIFA and other groups to commit crime unabated.

On April 13, 2020, Dhillon Law Group, in conjunction with the Center for American Liberty, filed a First Amendment lawsuit in Federal Court challenging the Governor’s criminalization of the free exercise of religion. The following day, a preliminary injunction seeking immediate relief for our clients was also filed. Dhillon Law Group represents two pastors in Riverside County, one pastor in San Bernardino County, and one church member in San Bernardino County.

“The restrictions placed upon our clients are completely discriminatory and arbitrary,” said Harmeet Dhillon, Chief Executive Officer for the Center for American Liberty. “The Constitution doesn’t allow for state officials to treat churches, mosques, synagogues, and temples as second-class ‘non-essential’ organizations.”

“Marijuana dispensaries, liquor stores, fast food restaurants, laundromats, and numerous other businesses are allowed to operate provided social distancing standards are satisfied. The same should be true of houses of worship,” said Dhillon.

“Without immediate judicial intervention, our clients will suffer irreparable harm,” concluded Dhillon.

The Center for American Liberty defends religious freedom against social engineering disguised as stay-at-home orders amidst COVID.

They are also working on the case of Andy Ngo who was brutally assaulted by ANTIFA in Portland. The Mayor of Portland and the local DA are both avowed socialists and have allowed ANTIFA to assault multiple people without legal recourse.

If you care about defending Religious Liberty, the First Amendment and the rule of law – please take a look at the Center for American Liberty and make a donation to fund their efforts. This is not some PAC sending mass emails, this money actually goes straight to fighting court cases. Please donate by using this link.

Blogger’s Note: This is not a paid advertisement. This is done of my own accord.

This is really simple. CA-25 is the Katie Hill seat. Hill was forced to resign due to her out of control lifestyle. Hill, typical of the breed of politician that has infested the body politic these days is running around like she is the victim. The democrats are enraged by the resignation of one of their “Millenial Rising Stars”. They want blood.

For reasons I am still unsure of Former Congressman Steve Knight decided to jump in the race and forced Garcia to have to spend a ton of money despite the lead he had of endorsements and fundraising. Now Congressman Kevin McCarthy who was responsible for Knight’s entry in to the Congressional Race is supporting Garcia.

This is the bottom line for your intrepid blogger – Christy Smith is a marionette of Democrat Leadership. She is not independent and is 100% dependent on the democrat machine. Mike Garcia has a record of his own and life accomplishments with which to make a case on merits independent of political machines for why he is qualified.

If you care about the recovery from COVID-19, dealing with China and the national media – Mike Garcia is your man. Christy Smith will do whatever Nancy Pelosi tells her to do. It is also obvious that the democrats have lost their swagger now that they can’t harvest ballots with COVID-19 ruling the day.

With the death of Dr. William “Bill” Kirby, I made a decision to refrain from further comment. If you are a reader from outside Northern California, Dr. Kirby was killed in a plane crash near the Auburn Arifield last week. I deliberately did not post about it on social media until the family was notified – and in a long standing tradition on Right on Daily when a subject of the blog dies we refrain from posting further information about the deceased except to provide historical context for other more current posts. (such as referring to the late Sam Annestad or Dick Dickerson)

The saddest thing to me is the fact that Bill Kirby did not know the Lord and did not want to know the Lord. Everything else seems rather trivial compared to that.

In order to close the loop on a couple Auburn Stories, I will be contacting both Maki and Berlant next week to ask more questions.

https://www.sacbee.com/news/local/article242164366.html

America wasn’t introduced to Dr. Bill Kirby until his final days, when the mayor of a conservative small town smeared President Donald Trump and his supporters on social media.

Kirby’s incendiary outbursts made national headlines, but at home in Auburn those will just be footnotes in an abundant life story that ended with a fiery plane crash Saturday in the Sierra Nevada foothills.

The Placer County Coroner’s Office confirmed Monday that Kirby, 72, died when his single-engine Cessna crashed shortly after takeoff near Auburn Municipal Airport. A second occupant of the plane suffered undisclosed injuries. The Placer County Sheriff’s Office and the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating the crash, which occurred two days before Kirby planned to resign mayoral duties due to public backlash over the social media controversy.

“I’ve known Bill since I was a kid in Little League,” said Auburn City Councilman Daniel Berlant, who is expected to become the city’s next mayor. “He’s always been a very strong-willed person, but a person who still leaves this legacy of all this involvement in Auburn that betters our community. It’s such a sad thing to think that this last week, as much as I disagree and don’t believe in what he said — that really shouldn’t be his legacy.”

Kirby spent three decades in Auburn, crafting a distinguished reputation in a community of about 14,000 people. He was a respected physician, a community benefactor, an eager volunteer, an avid lover of the arts and the father of two children, daughter Sarah Kirby-Gonzalez and son James Kirby.

“This is going to be hard,” Kirby-Gonzalez said Monday in a tearful telephone interview, “but let me tell you about my dad.”

Kirby lived in Auburn for 30 years. He was a practicing urologist and surgeon who saved lives with his scalpel, removing tumors in bladder-cancer patients. He was chairman of the Tumor Board at Sutter Auburn Faith Hospital, where he previously served as chief of medical staff.

Kirby was the former chief of the Surgery Department at Roseville Community Hospital and the first chairman of the Institutional Review (Cancer) Committee at Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital. He spent 10 years on each of the respective boards at Roseville Community and Sutter Auburn Faith.

Kirby was president of Auburn Little League, director of the Auburn Area Recreation and Parks District and a member of the Auburn Rotary Club. He was a physician for the Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run. And he volunteered with Flying Doctors of America, which has provided medical care to more than 300,000 people in poor parts of the world, according to its website.

Kirby-Gonzalez noted her father was an extremely experienced pilot who owned a number of Cessna airplanes since she was a young girl.

Kirby was recently inducted into the athletics Hall of Fame at Placer High School, where he provided free physicals to students for 30 years and volunteered as an on-field physician during sporting events.

“All my life, I had to run to keep up with this man,” Kirby-Gonzalez said. “I remember as a little girl, running down the hospital hallways on Saturdays as he saw patients, and he loved them. He absolutely loved serving as a doctor. This was a doctor who made house calls — and people would come to our house. Just last week, he had friends coming to see him because they were worried about medical issues.”

MAYOR SUPPORTED ARTS, EDUCATION

Kirby-Gonzalez also remembers how much her father loved the theater. He was a regular in the front row for Sacramento’s Broadway at Music Circus for at least 35 years, she said.

“He was a season-ticket holder and he would always tell me, ‘When I die, you keep these tickets because they’re the best seats in the house and it took me 30 years to get them,’” Kirby-Gonzalez said. “He would always take me to those shows and he was taking his granddaughters now. He loved the arts and he was so proud to support them.”

City Councilwoman Sandy Amara said Kirby supported art and education in Auburn as well.

“I think not many people know he contributed a lot of money to putting up the salmon statue in town that’s the pride and joy of Auburn now,” Amara said.

Kirby-Gonzalez said her father also funded a downtown mural.

Kirby was married three times. Both of his children attended Placer High School and Sierra College. His son is a lawyer in Los Angeles who recently graduated from Loyola Marymount University. His daughter teaches fifth grade at Mather Heights Elementary School in Rancho Cordova.

“He would come in to talk to my students,” Kirby-Gonzalez said. “That was the only day he wore that white robe.”

CONGRESSIONAL RUN AND CONTROVERSY

Many of Kirby’s patients used to say he should run for Congress. So he did, opposing U.S. Rep John Doolittle (Roseville) for the 4th District Republican congressional nomination in a March 2002 primary.

Kirby told the Sierra Sun he was running as a “Teddy Roosevelt Republican” with more moderate positions than Doolittle. Even then, Kirby’s mixed political views made him difficult to define. At the time, the Sun wrote: “Doolittle is pro-life, conservative on environmental issues and a vocal supporter of the controversial Auburn Dam, while Kirby is pro-choice, against the Auburn Dam and takes a gentler line on environmental issues.”

Doolittle said Kirby was “almost a liberal democrat.” Kirby said Doolittle was a “right-wing extremist.”

Kirby was endorsed by The Sacramento Bee, which concluded he “has the smarts and confidence a newcomer needs.”

Doolittle defeated Kirby in a landslide and went on to trounce Mark Norberg in the general election. Kirby continued his work in Auburn, where the dam project was never completed.

Kirby spent nearly 12 years over three terms on the City Council, but he didn’t gain national notoriety until April 5 when he reposted an internet meme likening Trump voters to the Ku Klux Klan. An image of hooded KKK members was accompanied by the words: “Good news for Trump supporters is that most of them already have masks,” a reference to increasing state and federal recommendations regarding the use of face coverings to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

Kirby shared the image to a personal Facebook page, commenting that the meme was: “True.” That triggered several heated exchanges between Kirby and Facebook users, some of whom, including Councilwoman Cheryl Maki, called the mayor’s remarks hate speech.

Kirby announced April 13 he would “hand the gavel” to Berlant at the April 27 City Council meeting, something he planned to do later in the year due to a planned surgical procedure, Berlant said. The City Council had scheduled a vote for Monday to transfer mayoral duties, but the emergency session was canceled in the wake of Kirby’s death.

Kirby was known to be opinionated and sometimes aggressive in defending his positions, but Berlant noted that he often deferred to more knowledgeable colleagues in areas of their expertise. Kirby was not known for the kind of rhetoric he demonstrated on social media in recent weeks. Berlant said extreme views are out of place in Auburn’s relatively apolitical political environment.

“Most people in Auburn don’t know each other as Republicans or Democrats,” he said. “If you need to have a pothole repaired or get a fast police response, it doesn’t matter if you’re a Republican or a Democrat. Those kinds of issues don’t really have a place in our style of city government.”

Kirby died less than two weeks after posting the KKK meme, a story reported by ABC News, Fox News, the New York Times, Newsweek, the U.K. Daily Mail and others.

‘HIS ACTIONS SPOKE LOUDER THAN WORDS’

Kirby is survived by his son and daughter, son-in-law Adam Gonzalez and grandchildren Addison and Chloe Gonzalez.

Kirby-Gonzalez said her father dressed up as Santa Claus each year for her two young daughters, and played the part convincingly.

“His actions spoke louder than his words,” Amara said. “He was a person who administered to the community as a doctor, day and night. He was always stepping up and becoming involved in many capacities throughout our community.

“I think the consensus is that we want to focus on all the positives. That’s why I said his actions spoke louder than his words. There were words and things were said back and forth, but he was a man of action and I think that’s going to be his legacy.”

Every woman has a few places on her body—often her stomach or her thighs—she feels self-conscious about having touched. And consistently trying to bring that sensitive spot into sex play won’t ease her discomfort.

“If you’re trying to put your hands on this body part, even if you say you’re admiring it, it’s a quick way to shut us down,” says DeAnna Lorraine, a dating and relationships coach in Los Angeles.

I’d imagine Deanna’s Book would have to be in the Pornography Section. The Men’s Health Magazine Article is linked here. Deanna Lorraine (Tesoriero) ladies and gentlemen, your source for graphic sex talk about how to Hook Up! But, ignore all that because she ran against Nancy Pelosi…

When she was not giving graphic interviews in Men’s Health Magazine – she was running a podcast called “Hook Up With Deanna Lorraine”

“It’s better to have a specific pet name for a girl, like Dimples or Sugar Pants—something that’s just between the two of you, instead of ‘baby’ or ‘babe,’” says Lorraine.

Got that, call Deanna Dimples and/or sugar pants. I am sure this will be in her upcoming book. Note, Deanna is 35 and has never been married.

“A little bit of looking and admiring is fine,” says Lorraine. “But don’t fully focus on it.”

You will have the read the article for context as it is too graphic even for Right on Daily. I could have only imagined what Nancy Pelosi would have done to Ms. Lorraine had she actually been a viable candidate. As it was, Lorraine got 1.8% of the vote despite raising $195K from unsuspecting donors.

“Men think ‘clitoris, clitoris, clitoris’—they think it’s all about the clitoris, so they focus on it,” Lorraine says. “But they don’t realize it’s incredibly sensitive. It doesn’t need to be jackhammered or be the sole focus.”

Instead of going straight to high-speed stimulation, start by very slowly stroking her clitoris—and let her body tell you when it’s time to try a new move.

“Sometimes women will shift their partner’s fingers aside or shift a little bit because it’s getting too sensitive,” says Lorraine.

Yes sir, Deanna in her own words circa 2016. Now this is the stuff that will make people take her seriously as a Family Values conservative. Remember, she is the victim, she will tell you that again and again. I am sure her new book will too.

Proof a fool and their money are soon parted.

Maybe those pastors ought to look at this too. This was on her website as of 1-2020. Power crystals and a how to guide on playing with body parts.

She is not an average relationship coach, that is for sure.

Daniel Berlant is a very likable and charming young man. (I say young because he is 37) We had a 1 1/2 Hour long conversation that was arranged by a mutual acquaintance that felt I should get in contact with him.

Since I blog under my own name (if you ever seen anything anonymous, it did not come from me) it means I am accountable for what I write. Similar to interviewing Cheryl Maki, who wanted to tell her side of the story and correct inaccurate information, in that same vane I spoke to Mr. Berlant.

It should be noted that Maki was nothing but complementary of Berlant in my chat with her. It did not take long to understand why.

Berlant posted this to his public figure page on Facebook following the City Council Meeting

Most of my chat with Berlant will remain off the record as it was the first time we had ever spoken and we spent time getting to know each other in addition to the events at hand. Berlant grew up in Auburn and went to Placer High School. He was on the Auburn Unified School District Board before moving to the City Council. He was President of the Auburn USD board for 4 of the 5 years he served on the board.

Berlant has worked for Cal Fire since he was 18 years old in 2001. He is currently employed in the State Fire Marshall’s Office.

Berlant echoed a lot of the same concerns as Maki – talking about Employment Practices lawsuits and fiscal issues within the City of Auburn. Similar to Maki he stressed that the current council seem to be unanimous most of the time in the solutions and with the exception of Kirby’s outbursts the existence had been fairly smooth.

It has been clear to your intrepid blogger for years that Maki and Kirby do not like each other. It is my opinion that this is exacerbated by Maki being a strong woman overlaid with Kirby’s demonstrated pattern of misogyny. Berlant did not make this statement, rather he referenced some of the issues that have existed. (The details will remain off the record)

As I spoke to Berlant I understood that in his job as a Cal-Fire spokesman he has to play peacemaker and work with all kinds of egos. (again my editorialization and summary) It is the opinion of this blogger that Berlant is not weak by any means, he is less overtly aggressive and demonstrative.

So let’s dispel a few rumors. #1 Berlant is not a union goon. He is currently an “At Will Employee”. #2 He went to high school with several Auburn Firefighters and openly tells people as such. One of his key goals has been supporting Police and Fire which leave him open to the criticism that he is a pawn of unions.

I have been told by others in local government that Berlant has been able to gain the trust of local law enforcement unions because of his relationships and because of his years of service to CalFire there is a familiarity. This stands in stark contrast to many other local jurisdictions that seem to be at war with their unions.

#3 The transition from Kirby to Berlant for Auburn Mayor. This was arranged in November, long before the current council started to become aware that Kirby was ranting in public again. According to multiple sources, Kirby had been keeping his well-known pattern of public outbursts in check (with the exception of jousting with Maki at council meetings) until about January.

The Mayor position is ceremonial in Auburn and had been on an informal rotation based on election position and there was a deal made to split the term between Kirby and Berlant that appears to have been brokered by Sandy Amara. The effect of Kirby’s Outburst is to make that transition happen sooner than the original plan of May.

#4 Auburn is a General Law City. This means the 4 Councilmembers not named Bill Kirby have no means with which to remove him for misconduct. This is only allowed in Charter Cities and then only if it is in the Charter.

#5 Kirby was not replaced as Mayor on 4-13-2020 because you need unanimous consent to waive the notice requirement for an item that is normally supposed to be placed on the Agenda. Thus, the subject of the Mayor is on the Agenda for the next Council Meeting on 4-27-2020.

I have a few political disagreements with Berlant, but I found him to be quite easy to talk to. I also found him to be rather transparent, I can forgive a lot of disagreements if I believe I am dealing with someone who is honest.

The last key takeaway from my conversation with Berlant (that I can share on the record) is that he is concerned that people focus on the Hate from Kirby, not the disdain for Trump. Berlant was quick to point out that Auburn is evenly split in registration, but that the hate and vitriol in Kirby’s comments is what should be the focus. He appeared to agree with me when I pointed out the media leaving out the social media posts calling for death and damnation on Christians and Trump supporters.

Berlant’s comments on this, in my opinion showed me some maturity. Let people have their opinion, understand that even hate speech is protected by the first amendment but focus on the real issue – that is the hate and intolerance directed at many of his constituents.

Let me conclude with this. My opinion of Berlant was changed by the wide open conversation we had. He is definitely a “Nice Guy” type of person that eschews bomb throwing publicly. I perceive him as a centrist politically that is approachable. I also am clear that he believes he is doing what’s right for the City he Grew up in. I have reason to believe that his decisions as events unfold will bear that out.
