California Governor Gavin Newsom Signs ‘Stop Nick Shirley Act’ into Law

ContraCostaNews.com:

On Saturday, Governor Gavin Newsom signed the “Stop Nick Shirley” Act into law. 

 

Under AB 2624, it expands California’s Safe at Home program to employees of nonprofits that serve people navigating the immigration system. The law takes effect Oct. 1, 2027. 

 

The bill was given the nickname Nick Shirley Act introduced after YouTuber Nick Shirley began shooting videos and following immigration workers around while accusing them of fraud – similar to the daycare provider videos in Minnesota.

Liberal California and its wacky governor sign a bill that effectively silences journalists from exposing fraud. One would think that the msm as a whole would galvanize around and support Shirley on this latest display of radical, left-wing tyranny, while speaking up too for the 1st Amendment. But because Shirley is a conservative, that's not going to happen and that's why the media can't be trusted.

Court Orders Conservative Activist Kirralie Smith to Pay Nearly $100K and Apologize in Vilification Case

StarObserver.com:

Anti-trans activist and Binary Australia spokesperson Kirralie Smith has been ordered to pay $95,000 in fines and issue a public apology after she was found to have vilified two trans women earlier this year. 

 

On August 23, Deputy Chief Magistrate Sharon Freund found that Smith and Binary Australia- formerly anti-marriage equality group Marriage Alliance- incited hatred and serious contempt for two women, who were targeted after playing football with their local clubs. 

 

It marked the first time someone had been found to have unlawfully vilified a person for being trans under NSW law.

Crazy. Now we've got transgender activists infiltrating the Australian government and, rather than simply coexisting with people who hold different views, pushing policies that dictate how others are expected to speak and think with the consequences being financial penalties for those who refuse to comply. If that's not a combination of censorship and blatant indoctrination, I don't know what is.

Chicago Bulls Waive Christian Player Jaden Ivey After He Spoke Out Against the NBA for Promoting 'Pride Month'

ESPN.com:

The Chicago Bulls have waived guard Jaden Ivey due to conduct detrimental to the team, they announced on Monday. The news comes after Ivey posted a series of videos ranting about religion and other topics on social media in recent weeks, with one on Monday morning calling out the NBA for celebrating Pride Month, saying it's celebrating "unrighteousness." 

 

Ivey, 24, has spoken in the past of dealing with depression. The Bulls acquired Ivey in a trade with the Detroit Pistons last month. He appeared in four games for the Bulls before being shut down for the rest of the season due to a left knee injury. 

 

Ivey was drafted with the No. 5 pick in 2022 and featured early for a rebuilding Pistons team before knee issues limited him to just 30 games in 2024-25 and kept him out for several games this season.

Of course, if Ivey was say openly supportive of DEI policies or spoke out against police brutality, the Bulls wouldn't have any issues with his views or right to free speech and thus would leave him alone. But since we're talking about a professional athlete who also happens to be a Christian and who isn't afraid to stand up for his beliefs, he gets waived. Hypocrisy, much? Yeah, me thinks so.

Karma Catches Up To WaPo Writer, Blue Sky Liberal & Professional Race Baiter Karen Attiah

Mediaite.com:

Details of The Washington Post’s decision to fire longtime columnist Karen Attiah are coming into focus after the release of an HR letter late Monday that accused her of “gross misconduct” and unspecified “performance concerns,” declaring the paper could “not tolerate the risk” she posed. 

 

Attiah revealed Monday via SubStack that she had been dismissed by the newspaper for social media posts about the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, but argued the posts in question were measured and focused not on Kirk but on growing tolerance for political violence. 

 

“Charges without evidence, which I reject completely as false,” she wrote.

The story here isn't about Attiah's feelings on Charlie Kirk, which she has every right to have. But to misquote the guy, have a Blue Sky (a platform that's a literal cesspool for sheer and utter hatred towards conservatives...only) and have a history of breaking the journalistic standards of your employer, is just begging to be fired.
