Newsom Signs Law Requiring Student IDs to Include Hotline for Far-Left Trevor Project

California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) has officially signed AB 727 into law, requiring student ID cards in California’s public middle schools, high schools, and colleges to include the hotline number for the Trevor Project, a far-left LGBT activist organization.

The bill was introduced by the Democratic Assembly Member Mark González in February. Notably, California already requires student IDs to have the general suicide prevention hotline on them. This recent addition, signed into law on World Mental Health Day, specifically promotes LGBT ideology by directing students to the Trevor Project, which notoriously pushed children struggling with gender identity into so-called “gender affirming” counseling. The bill’s text lays out the justification behind the measure, claiming heightened rates of bullying, harassment, and discrimination among LGBT-identifying individuals “due to their sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.”

According to González, this bill was a direct response to the Trump administration, which, only months prior, “terminated a federal suicide hotline for so-called LGBTQ youth that subcontracted to the Trevor Project and other organizations,” The Daily Caller reported — a move Newsom called “a disgrace,” while others welcomed the step away from the LGBT-centric hotline. But as González put it, “When Donald Trump and the federal government turn their backs on LGBTQ+ youth, California steps up.” He added that AB 727 sends “a clear message: our LGBTQ+ youth are seen, valued, and never alone. AB 727 is not just a piece of legislation; it is a lifeline for our queer youth.”

In a statement, Newsom hailed the new law. “Every student,” said Newsom, “deserves to feel safe, supported, and seen for who they are. While some in Washington turn their backs on LGBTQ youth, California is choosing compassion over cruelty.” Newsom claimed that AB 727 sends a “clear” message that someone’s “identity doesn’t disqualify you from care and community — it’s exactly why we are fighting to make it easier to reach.” A statement from the governor’s office went on to state that “AB 727 aligns with California’s broader work and commitment to preventive mental health care.”

Meanwhile, California’s new law has many on edge. The group Parents Defending Education, for example, raised several concerns related to the Trevor Project and the kind of agendas it promotes. For one, the organization has an online chat room that allows children to talk about gender and sexuality with adults they aren’t related to — a platform that allows users to quickly close the window and delete browser history through a feature called “quick exit.” Additionally, the Trevor Project has something called TrevorSpace, advertised for people aged 13 to 24, that also facilitates sexually explicit conversations while offering so-called “advice” to vulnerable minors.

As The Daily Caller further highlighted, the Trevor Project “also opposes parental notification policies for name or pronoun changes at school, supports allowing men in women’s bathrooms and locker rooms, and promotes puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones as ‘medically necessary’ for transgender-identifying youth.” While the Trevor Project hotline being required on student IDs has concerned many, it’s not the first time California has made this kind of push. In 2019, a bill was proposed to include the hotline for the abortion giant Planned Parenthood on student IDs. This did not ultimately become law.

Upon signing AB 727 into law, Newsom took to X to announce it, where he was met with a flurry of opposition. As one user asked, “Why do they need a dedicated line for suicide? Can’t they call the regular hotline?” Anotherpointed out, “We have suicide prevention for experts for ALL who need help. No matter who you are. Stop dividing this country. This is a disgrace that you are politicizing such a sensitive issue.” Some argued this was “wasteful funding” while others noted how suicide prevention should be available for anyone and not be based on an ideology or single people group.

Adding to the criticism was the Center for American Liberty, which condemned the recently signed law. CEO Mark Trammell wrote on X, “This isn’t about saving lives. It is about pushing kids into a radical gender cult behind parents backs.” He elaborated in a statement, which emphasized how AB 727 “forces every California student ID to promote The Trevor Project — an activist group known for encouraging children to question their gender without parental knowledge or consent.” He continued, “This law isn’t about compassion; it’s about control. California has once again cut parents out of the most personal and life-altering decisions a child can face.”

Trammell further highlighted that while “Europe is reversing course on experimental ‘gender-affirming’ procedures for minors, California doubles down on ideology over evidence — endangering children and undermining families.” As he concluded, “The Center for American Liberty will continue to stand up for parents, defend children, and fight for truth — because real compassion means telling the truth, not hiding it.”

For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy: The true spirit of prophecy always shows itself in bearing witness to Jesus. “Any teaching of prophecy that takes our minds and hearts away from Him is not being properly communicated.” (Hocking)

i. “This means that prophecy at its very heart is designed to unfold the beauty and loveliness of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.” (Valvoord). Never receive a word or believe a word without it being based on the Word of God. Too many wannabe’s out there. Be careful, and be not deceived. Rh

Revelation 19:15 Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword: The idea isn’t that Jesus holds a sword in his mouth like a buccaneer, or that He is “spitting swords.” This is a dramatic way of referring to the power of His Word. “Christ conquers by the power of His Word” (Johnson). Five times in the Book Revelation, John emphasizes that Jesus’ sword comes out of His mouth. Once against it’s all about the Word, Psa. 138:2, John 1:1 Rh

Revelation 16:6-9 And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, “Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns! Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.” And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. Then he said to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’” And he said to me, “These are the true sayings of God.” I long for that day to sit in a Heavenly feast with the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

The Stones Are Screaming: Israel’s Existence Written in Rock

By Tania Curado Koenig

Powerful article for all those who love Israel. Tania is the wife of Bill Koenig. Www.watch.org.

Jerusalem — June 1, 2025 | Published — September 17, 2025

On June 1, 2025, I stood with my husband William on Jerusalem’s Pilgrimage Road — the broad stone street that runs from the Pool of Siloam to the Temple Mount. For centuries it lay buried under earth and silence, but now it has been unveiled in full. Here is the last 600 meters of ascent, where prophets prophesied, where families sang the Psalms of Ascent, where priests carried offerings, and where Jesus Himself once walked.

On the Pilgrimage Road — William and I standing on the very stones where prophets, pilgrims, and Jesus Himself once walked.

As I placed my hand on those ancient steps, I realized: Israel’s existence is not theory. It is not politics. It is not up for debate. Israel’s existence is written in rock.

And this week — September 14–16, 2025 — the world witnessed these rocks testify again, as the Pilgrimage Road was officially opened in a historic ceremony attended by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Ambassador Mike Huckabee. Their words became the pillars of this moment: history, covenant, and eternal promise.

Netanyahu: The Stones of History

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not mince words. He reminded the world that archaeology itself is proof:

“In 1998, I hosted the Prime Minister of Turkey… there is a tablet, a stone tablet, in Hebrew, that was found in the tunnel dug 2,700 years ago by King Hezekiah, 300 years after King David… perhaps, except the Dead Sea Scrolls, the most important archaeological discovery in Israel.

I offered an exchange. But he refused, saying there would be outrage if Turkey returned a tablet that would show Jerusalem was a Jewish city 2,700 years ago.”

And Netanyahu concluded with clarity:

“Well, it was a Jewish city 3,000 years ago. Here, right next to these stones and on these pavements, the prophets of Israel prophesied, the kings of Israel walked, the pilgrims came… and this continued for 1,000 years into the time of Jesus, a Jewish rabbi from the Galilee who came here to Jerusalem, the Holy of Holies, and He came here.”

Rubio: The People Remain

Then Secretary of State Marco Rubio stood on the same road, adding the voice of America at Israel’s side. His presence was not symbolic; it was prophetic in itself.

Rubio declared:

“All the civilizations that conquered this city are gone. But one people remain. They have returned. For God’s promise is eternal, and His word is always true.”

Huckabee: The Stones Cry Out

Finally, Ambassador Mike Huckabee gave the words that became the heartbeat of the night. His speech was not just politics; it was Scripture alive:

“It was 4,000 years ago here in this city, on Mount Moriah, where God chose His people. He not only chose a people, but He chose a place, and then He chose for the people in this place a purpose. The people were the Jewish people. The place was Israel, and the purpose was to be a light to the world…

This little sliver of real estate is the most contested land in all of human history — not just because of those who want it, but because of those who don’t want the Jewish people to have it. But tonight something extraordinary we celebrate: the story is not just alive — it is more alive than perhaps it has been in the 4,000 years that God chose His people, His place, His purpose.

…History is to a civilization what memory is to the individual. And tonight this is a celebration of the history of Yerushalayim. Luke 19:40 says: ‘If the crowds keep quiet, the stones will cry out.’ Tonight the stones are crying out. The crowds may say it, but the stones absolutely and 100% validate that the Jewish people not only belong here now, but they have belonged here for 4,000 years since the time God said to Abraham, ‘This is yours.’

…And I salute you and join you tonight in the celebration of this wonderful, magnificent, incredible reminder that God never has been finished with Israel, and He never will be. This is the eternal home that He has chosen. God bless you all.”

With William on the steps of the Pilgrimage Road — where Jesus walked, where David sang, where the stones now cry out.

Why This Moment Matters

So it is clear:
– Netanyahu said: the stones of history prove Jerusalem was Jewish 3,000 years ago.
– Huckabee said: the stones cry out and validate God’s covenant.
– Rubio said: the people remain, because God’s word is eternal.

The nations debate in the UN. Terrorists launch rockets. The world seeks to divide what God has united. But the Pilgrimage Road has been opened, and the stones themselves are answering back.

They declare that Jerusalem is eternal. That Israel is the wife of the Almighty God, Adonai (Ezekiel 16). That Israel exists not by chance but by covenant. That God keeps His promises.

The Stones and the Covenant

I believe that when I walked the Pilgrimage Road on the 1st of June, 2025, with my husband William, there was an anointing resting on those stones. Not only the anointing of the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, Yeshua the Messiah of Israel, but also the echo of King David, the psalmist who gave Jerusalem her eternal songs.

Here Paul once preached. Here Jesus once spoke. Here David once wrote. And here the stones still shout, just as Jesus Himself declared: “I tell you, if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out” (Luke 19:40).

These stones scream for the existence of Israel. They scream for the land the Lord Himself has chosen. They scream for the covenant God never abandoned.

Through the prophet Ezekiel, God calls Israel His wife (Ezekiel 16). Through the psalms, He sealed Jerusalem as His eternal dwelling. And through these stones, He is still testifying: His promises remain.

So I close with the words of David, words that bind us to memory and covenant:

“If I forget you, O Jerusalem, may my right hand forget her skill. May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not consider Jerusalem my highest joy” (Psalm 137:5–6).

This is not poetry alone. This is history underfoot. This is covenant carved in stone. This is prophecy alive in the dust and in the air of Jerusalem.

And tonight, as in every generation, the stones are not silent.

They are screaming: Jerusalem is home. Israel lives. God is

Is there one nation on planet Earth that is not corrupt in one way or another? 

Is there one person who doesn’t have anti-Semitic beliefs, one who doesn’t blame the Jews for all of the problems in the world.  Are there any whose own life is not riddled with sin and corruption?  Spiritually speaking, is there even one “woke” individual who isn’t fast asleep under a large rock? Asleep in a sleep so deep as to make Rip Van Winkle appear restless and plagued by insomnia?

George Orwell may or may not have known it when he wrote the book 1984, but he most certainly did a bang-up job of describing how thoughts are processed inside of reprobate human minds. Minds that no longer work properly. Minds that are broken. Seemingly broken beyond repair. Minds that have crossed an invisible line into that nightmarish twilight zone described by the prophet Isaiah when he, on behalf of the Holy God of Israel, spoke that ominous, iconic warning into the collective human conscious awareness.  A warning for those who were alive in his time and a warning for anyone and everyone who would walk the earth after his time. A warning that still sends an echo around the world to this very day and hour, in your time and my time, and in real-time. 

The warning is recorded in the Old Testament book of Isaiah 5:20 “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, that put darkness for light and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.”

Those who have ignored this warning in these present times we live in are legion. Far too many to count, and they are everywhere and in every nation. Some are very rich, and some are very poor.

Human beings who are of sound mind and have read the book 1984 by George Orwell normally view that book as a brilliantly written warning of what a dystopian nightmare life on Earth could become if ever godless, ruthless, hypocritical, power-hungry, self-righteous Marxist-thinking individuals completely took over a society or an entire world.

These radical Luciferian leftist individuals view Orwell’s book “1984” as a playbook. The multi-billionaire evil globalist elitists of today come to mind. The Davos Club and Bilderberg Group, the International Bankster Gangsters like the Rothchilds and the Rockefellers and their international investment corporations such as Blackrock, Vanguard and Statestreet, Bill Gates the Injector and Klaus Schwab the Connector, and all of his World Economic Forum trained minions of “young leaders” such as Trudeau of Canada, Zelenskyy of the Ukraine, Ardern of New Zealand, Albanese of Australia, and California dictator Gavin Newsom.

The Israel-bashing, Jew-hating United Nations led by Antonio Guterres and The World Health Organization with wannabe global medical tyrant Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus at the helm come to mind.  By the way, all of the above-mentioned organizations are in one way or another owned by the Multi-Billionaires Club, which is also known by such other names as the Globalist Elite, the Deep State, the Swamp, and, as Orwell writes, the “Party.”

 In the United States of America, we have the Uni-Party made up of Marxists and RINOs (Republicans in name only). So, if they are RINOs and not really Republicans, what are they? Well, they are either corrupt sell-out individuals bought and owned by the globalists, or they are globalist-supporting Marxists in disguise. Wolves in sheep clothing.

In Orwell’s book, the “Party” are the rulers of the geographical area known as Oceania and are the embodiment of Isaiah’s warning. The “Party” intimidates everyone into embracing their upside-down, inside-out, backward way of seeing things.  In “1984” everything means the opposite of what it really is. The “Ministry of Love” is where the “Party” tortures people to break their spirit. The “Ministry of Peace” is where wars are planned.  The “Ministry of Truth” is where history is rewritten and propaganda is produced and distributed. The official narrative is the only narrative allowed, and “Big Brother” is watching you.

If you have not read 1984, the “Party,” by the way, is basically the same thing as the “Deep State” owned and run by the “Globalists” and their many offshoot organizations.  Because “Big Brother is always watching you, you will be caught if you dare to buck the system, and then you will be hauled off to the Ministry of Love to either be broken down, straightened out, and reprogrammed through torture, or eliminated and then erased from history at the Ministry of Truth.The similarities to the book 1984 have been adding up in recent years in real-time here on Earth and are quite chilling.

The term “woke” is one example.

It is not at all difficult for a person of sound mind to observe that “woke” people behave in a way that is the antithesis of the actual meaning of the word. The word “woke” is meant by those who embrace woke ideology to imply enlightenment.

Yet, the behavior and what comes out of their mouths implies just the opposite. “Woke” people act as if they are smarter than anyone who disagrees with their way of thinking. To a rational mind, it appears as if the “woke” are only slightly smarter than a bag of rocks. However, much less pleasant than a bag of rocks.

Hence, the term “Single Digit IQ People.” Just enough IQ to somewhat function as a “useful idiot,” perhaps to be employed carrying signs and mindlessly screaming at protests organized by their Marxist overlords. They most likely started out with normal IQs before being systematically dumbed down on leftist-run college campuses or through absorbing massive amounts of fake news. Or both.

None of what is being said is meant to be mean or sarcastic. It is simply about what Isaiah’s warning looks like when it is ignored here in the cultural environment we live in today. It is really only in the last decade or so that this subject has become so very apparent and blatantly relevant.

In the Holy Bible, the Lord said that in the end times, there would be great delusion and that some people would be given over to a reprobate mind. It is observable that this can apply equally to any economic group, including the super-wealthy.

There are several definitions of a reprobate mind that have been mentioned before in previous articles, and it is worth repeating.

Reprobate: 

  •  morally unprincipled person 
  •  shameless 
  •  depraved 
  •  Reject the truth

Sounds like one who has embraced evil, rejected the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, rejected salvation, blasphemed the Holy Spirit, feels no need to change, and has arrogantly spit on even the very idea that they need changing.

When leaders of institutes of “higher learning,” national and international healthcare officials, and even some leaders of nations are unable and at a complete loss to define what a “woman” is, well then, “Houston, we have a problem.”

When minds are this broken, so broken that women’s menstrual products are ordered to be made available in men’s public restrooms because it is a “woke” belief that men can get pregnant and have babies, then it might be safe to say that these people who think in such ways have in fact been given over to strong delusion and a reprobate mind (2 Thessalonians 2:11; Romans 1:28).

For all who love the Lord and trust in Jesus and are sickened by the “woke” wickedness, as well as sickened by the cruel and brutal murderous wickedness committed by deluded tyrannical Islamists, and sickened by the god-playing globalists with their ruthless 2030 Agenda genocidal efforts to rid the world of about six and one half billion so-called ‘useless eaters’ — otherwise known as nuclear families of fathers and mothers and their children – and then merge whoever is left with artificial intelligence, and just plain sick of all of the wickedness perpetrated by delusional reprobates of every stripe that we are witnessing on Earth in these last days, then please take heart.

Take heart and encourage each other with these words.

“When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near” (Luke 21:28).

Our redemption draws closer and closer with every day that passes.  “Maranatha”

ControllingThe Narrative

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Leftists and progressives know that what people believe to be true shapes and controls them, whether it is true or not. In other words, people are not controlled by truth – they’re controlled by what we believe to be true! Language shapes culture. Words influence thinking, thinking forms beliefs, beliefs create actions, and actions shape the culture. Pretty simple. 

Some have said that until you hear something over and over you never really grasp the concept of what you heard.  Rehearsing in your mind.  What you think, or believe becomes a part of you.  That is why the “mocking bird media” is so effective.  It takes a strong person to not believe what a vast majority of people may be saying repeatedly.  Some have even suggested that the Viet Nam war was ok in the minds of Americans, until Walter Cronkite began to speak out against it.  Interesting, but he was a trusted news source. Unfortunately the media makes it seem there is consensus, when there really isn’t.  There is only one truth.  The Word of God

  • Murder is bad; call it “abortion.” 
  • Riots are bad; call them “mostly peaceful” protests. 
  • Reverse racism is bad; call it “DEI – Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion”. 
  • Taking people’s hard-earned money is bad; call it “democratic socialism.” 
  • Defunding the police is bad (and stupid); call it “reallocating funds.”

The Scriptures confirm this. Consider the verse from Proverbs 23:7, which tells us that “as a person thinks within himself, so is he.” Some translations say that as a person thinks in his “heart,” so is he. The Hebrew word is nephesh, the word for “soul” – the mind, emotions, and will. As your soul thinks, so are you.  Opening our mind to dwell on the wrong ideas is a dangerous game to play.  Once that thought gets inside our mind, it can be difficult to turn away from it.  

Don’t misunderstand, I am not talking about positive thinking, but truly accepting that there is truth and it is the Word of God.  Thinking and putting Biblical principles in our mind makes a difference. (see scriptures below)

  2 Corinthians 10:5 Casting down arguments (thoughts) and every high thing (prideful; do our own thing) that exalts itself against the knowledge God for pulling down strongholds (thoughts become strongholds) they shape us and give us a habit that can destroy us.  Or at best we become double minded unable to discern good from evil.   

Romans 12:2 transformed by the renewing of our mind

Ephesians 4:23-24  be renewed in the spirit of your mind

  • That marriage doesn’t have to be between a man and woman; all that matters is love.
  • That marriage isn’t really necessary at all; just live together until the excitement ends, then find another mate. 
  • That children are a nuisance, an inconvenience, and unnecessary interruptions in one’s career.
  • That sin and Satan are fun, while God and righteousness are boring. 
  • That absolute truth doesn’t exist; all is relative and to be determined by ever-changing standards. And many more lies.

Educators in America have indoctrinated and poisoned the minds of a generation that there is no God. If there is no God or Creator, then there is no purpose, destiny, or design; all is by accident and happenstance. This allows one to believe their body is a mistake: they have the body of a male, when they’re actually a female trapped in the wrong body. Or vice versa. The answer? Go to work changing it: take pills to kill the male parts. Better yet, cut them off.

Don’t believe the lie.  Going against God’s order will only cause chaos and destruction for ourselves and our nation.  God bring back Godly values and a great move of the Holy Spirit to transform our nation before we go off the proverbial cliff.

Moral Values

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Righteousness exalts a nation, 

But sin is a disgrace to any people. Proverbs 14:3

The founding of America was based on Judeo-Christian values.  Morality, acknowledgment of an Almighty God.  Our founders thought morally, with a Biblical worldview.  Edmund Burke (1729-1797) put the matter well in his famous statement: ”All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.”  Most Christians understand that America is in a serious state of moral, social, cultural, and especially political decline.  This implies that America has fallen from a better situation to a worse situation.  As Christians we recognize a connection between a country’s religious faith and its adherence to the Word of God.  We have fallen because we have turned our back as a nation from Almighty God to a god of our own making. Let me share a warning before I go further, “The wicked will return to Sheol; Even all the nations who forget God” (Psalms 9:17).

Previously I stated we have made our own gods, (small g) which are not gods at all but we place them just as Israel did, before our worship and recognition of the Lord.  We have chosen the god of self.  We do as we please, following “our heart”, except the Bible says our “heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” Jeremiah 17:9.  We worship the god of prosperity and pride.  We worship the god of pleasure, if it feels good we do it.  Morality is not an absolute, but just merely a suggestion on how to live.  Today we aren’t even sure if the Bible is true, or If it even matters since many don’t believe in the Lord, except the one that gives them freedom to live as they wish.

Climate change is also a religion that puts the creation above the creator.  Mankind destroying the environment is not settled fact, however we must tax and buy carbon credits (penance) to escape our doom.  I could go on forever.  Let’s not forget evolution, a baby is a fetus etc.  

We can look back on our history and realize that we have been greatly influenced by our Christian faith.  We have never officially been a Christian Republic, but those roots run deep in our past prosperity.  Unfortunately, our national situation is much different today.  Barack Obama (while Senator and later as President) has repeatedly sought to distance America from its Christian heritage.  In 2006, he stated that “whatever we once were, we are no longer a Christian nation.”  In 2007 in Turkey of all places, he stated ”we do not consider ourselves a Christian nation.”  This might be the only statement BHO ever said that I could agree with, sadly.

We are in trouble until we accept the truth that we have sinned and turned our back on Jesus Christ.  Repentance and a turning away from sin is mandatory to renew morality in America.  God be merciful to us.
