Amid Wildfires, Blackouts & Lockdowns, California Launches Task Force to Study… Slavery Reparations

Blackouts, lockdowns, and wildfires make the perfect cover for California Gov. Gavin Newsom and the Democrats to advance their far-left agenda.

It looks like Newsom will sign just about any bill the Democratic supermajority in the state legislature puts on his desk. In recent weeks, Newsom has signed bills that remove automatic penalties for certain sex offenders and allow inmates to choose prison facilities based on their gender identities. On Wednesday, Newsom signed a bill establishing a task force to study slavery reparations. 

California is now the first state government to pass a law for the study and development of proposals for potential slavery reparations. According to the Associated Press, the nine-member task force will conduct a detailed study on the impact of slavery in the free state of California. The task force will then make recommendations to the state legislature by July 2023 as to the form of compensation to be awarded and who should be eligible to receive it. California is home to more than 2.2. million African-Americans, none of who were slaves in the U.S. 

The governor signed additional legislation on Wednesday, including a bill that eliminates so-called discrimination in jury selection.

“As a nation, we can only truly thrive when every one of us has the opportunity to thrive,” Gov. Newsom said in a statement. “Our painful history of slavery has evolved into structural racism and bias built into and permeating throughout our democratic and economic institutions. California’s rich diversity is our greatest asset, and we won’t turn away from this moment to make right the discrimination and disadvantages that Black Californians and people of color still face. While there is still so much work to do to unravel this legacy, these pieces of legislation are important steps in the right direction to building a more inclusive and equitable future for all.”

So there will still be more work to do even after slavery reparations are handed out. The far-left won’t be happy until they’ve completely dismantled our institutions, our government, and our way of life.


HD Editors Note: Why Is This News Biblically Relevant?

Today, we are witnessing people apologizing for sins they did not commit while furiously refusing to apologize or be ashamed for their own sins. We also see false accusations of systemic racism where there is none, causing unnecessary division and creating a begrudging between races.

What is crucial for us to understand is that all of this was prophesied in the Bible, as an indicator of the lateness of the hour and the soon return of Jesus Christ.

The Bible says that in the last days, there will be deception (2 Tim. 3:13), hatred of the truth (2 Tim. 3:8-9), the calling of good evil and evil good (Isaiah 5:20), and increased racial divisions (Matthew 24:7).

Matthew 24:7 KJV – “For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.”

The word in the above verse, “nation” comes from the Greek word “Ethnos,” where we get our English word for “ethnicity.” The can be read “ethnicity shall rise against ethnicity.”

The Future Of The Temple Mount: What The Bible Says About The Most Explosive Flashpoint In The Middle East

The Temple Mount has frequently been the location of violent flashpoints. The Hamas-led massacre of Israelis on October 7th, 2023, was called “Operation Al-Aqsa Flood” by the Iranian terror proxy. Hamas commanders stated that the operation was a direct response to Israeli raids, tensions, and perceived threats regarding the Al-Aqsa mosque compound in Jerusalem on the Temple Mount. Though this was the stated excuse, I believe this was nothing more than camouflage for their real murderous motivations. Nevertheless, it aptly demonstrates the flashpoint of the Temple Mount. In recent days, the status quo has been imperiled. Rumblings on the Temple Mount threaten to spread into a wider conflict.

An Inversion Of God’s Design: New Study Says Human Population Needs To Be Cut In Half

The modern environmental movement is about more than just protecting earth’s creatures and resources (something we must do as good stewards of God’s creation)—it’s an inversion of God’s design. This movement puts the creation in dominion over man—the opposite of what God instructed. God formed earth for mankind, to use, to tend and keep, to exercise dominion over, to enjoy, and to glorify God with: "The heavens are the heavens of Yahweh, But the earth He has given to the sons of men" (Psalm 115:16). But today’s environmentalism says humans are a blight, a disease, on this planet and we need to start removing ourselves for the betterment of everything else. Consider this quote from a new study that claims we need to halve the world population, taking it from 8 billion to less than 4 billion, by 2200.

Michele Bachmann’s Advice To The President: ‘Take The Handcuffs Off Of Israel’

Michele Bachmann, a former congresswoman, 2012 Presidential Candidate, and outspoken friend of the Jewish State, advised the President to “take the handcuffs off of Israel” and enable the nation to handle its own self-defense unencumbered. On the premiere episode of “Falling Into Place” alongside co-host Jan Markell, Bachmann noted that Israel is being strong-armed into absorbing attacks on its nation—something that the United States, if it were in the same position, would never deem acceptable.
