Los Angeles Mayor Garcetti issued an order directing all Angelenos to remain in their homes and avoid all public and private gatherings with anyone outside their household. The order states that all travel “on foot, bicycle, scooter, motorcycle, automobile, or public transit is prohibited.” Some exceptions, however, have been made for film production, golf courses, and cannabis dispensaries. Los Angeles is offering an $800 stipend to 4,000 local food-service workers, but this is small consolation to the 40% of the population who already have lost their jobs this year in full-service restaurants. A Judge ordered LA County’s Public Health Department to provide evidence to justify its outdoor dining ban, saying, “You have to do a risk-benefit analysis for public health. You don’t just talk about the risk of spreading disease.” -GEG
REGIONAL STAY-AT-HOME ORDERS FOR 3 WEEKS WHERE ICU CAPACITY IS LOW
Newsom said that this is the final surge, and the most critical moment since the beginning of the pandemic.
California is responding to the latest numbers by “pulling an emergency brake” and introducing a Regional Stay-at-Home order, Newsom said. L.A. County is already under its own stay-at-home order.
From Representative Kevin Kiley:
One indication lockdowns don’t work is that their biggest enthusiasts keep getting caught violating them. Another is the complete lack of evidence that they work.
Yet now Gavin Newsom is floating a new Stay-at-Home Order, even after all the public health experts he claims to follow panned his curfew as pointless or even counterproductive, and the state’s sheriffs largely rolled their eyes.
Newsom is also defying none other than Dr. Fauci by keeping millions of kids out of school, ultimately causing greater loss of life than COVID-19 according to new findings in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Meanwhile our case against him is proceeding rapidly at the Court of Appeals. The Court gave me and James one-fourth the normal amount of time to write a brief 3 times longer than anything at the trial. It’s due tomorrow, and several counties are also filing an amicus brief to support our side.
While our case is the shot across the bow, and likely headed for the Supreme Court, there have been three other important legal developments since our trial victory:
- Just today, the United States Supreme Court ordered a District Court in California to reassess a challenge to Newsom’s restrictions on religious gatherings in light of its recent decision striking down Andrew Cuomo’s discriminatory policies.
- Yesterday a Judge ordered LA County’s know-nothing Public Health Department to provide evidence to justify its outdoor dining ban, saying, “You have to do a risk-benefit analysis for public health. You don’t just talk about the risk of spreading disease.”
- The Pacific Legal Foundation case, which builds on our trial victory by applying our separation-of-powers argument to the business shutdown, has a hearing for a preliminary injunction against the “Blueprint” set for Dec. 15 in Fresno.
In addition, so far this week two more counties, Placer and El Dorado, have passed a Healthy Communities Resolution in opposition to Newsom’s command-and-control lockdowns. We expect many more to soon follow. Here is a sample of our Resolution you can present to your own Board of Supervisors.

Offline is a documentary on the inevitability of the Earth being slammed by a mega solar flare – not the common type that interrupts communications and creates a light show in the Northern skies – but the big brothers thousands of times more powerful. These monsters deliver enough energy to blow apart the master transformers that supply the planet’s energy grids. When that happens, the lights go out for longer than anyone wants to think about. These X-Class solar storms hit the Earth every 150 years, on average. The last one arrived 156 years ago. We are overdue (
