Georgia voters in Athens-Clarke County ousted their disgraced left-wing prosecutor who oversaw traitorous sanctuary city policies where 22-year-old Laken Riley was brutally murdered.

Athens-Clarke and Oconee County District Attorney Deborah Gonzalez lost to Independent Kalki Yalamanchili, who received roughly 60 percent of the vote, Fox 5 Atlanta reported.

Gonzalez, a self-described “progressive,” was first elected in 2020 after receiving backing from left-wing billionaire George Soros. Gonzalez was at the center of recent recall efforts spurred by residents who are angry that Gonzalez and other county officials allowed “illegal aliens to freely roam our county,” according to the Athens-Banner Herald.

The county (and country) was shaken to its core when Riley, a nursing student at the University of Georgia, was brutally murdered while on a run on a wooded trail near her school. Authorities arrested Jose Antonio Ibarra the next day. Ibarra is an illegal immigrant who arrived to the states from Venezuela in 2022.

The Athens City Council passed a resolution in 2019 welcoming immigrants “of all statuses,” according to Fox 5 Atlanta. The city released a memo in December of 2023 stating Athens-Clarke County supports “undocumented” immigrants. Further, current county policy states the sheriff’s office will not enforce a 48-hour detainer for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to Fox 5 Atlanta.

“[If a] detainer is issued but is not accompanied by a federal warrant or court order signed by a federal magistrate or federal judge, [the illegal migrant] shall not be held solely on the ICE detainer,” the policy

While Governor Gavin Newsom touts his new social media law as a landmark achievement for protecting kids online, California Democrats’ recent voting record indicates that safeguarding kids is not a priority for Newsom or his party.  

Senate Bill 976 (introduced by Democrat Nancy Skinner), which Newsom signed into law last month, bans online platforms from “knowingly providing” addictive content feeds to minors “without parental consent.” In a statement accompanying the bill signing, Newsom bragged, “With this bill, California is helping protect children and teenagers from purposely designed features that feed these destructive habits. I thank Senator Skinner for advancing this important legislation that puts children’s well-being first.” 

While Newsom’s backing of the bill made headlines, the Democrat majority has refused to consider numerous other child protection proposals this legislative session and has even pushed through one bill that puts many young people at risk. The party has not earned its rhetoric as a champion of children’s well-being.

A notable example is SB 1435 (introduced by Republican Ochoa Bogh), which sought to support the removal of obscene materials from K-8 classrooms and school libraries by aligning California law with federal broadcasting standards. This innocuous bill to make educational environments safer for young students failed to pass beyond the Senate Education Committee. Three Democrat senators opposed the measure, dismissing it as a “book-banning” bill.

Yet if materials are deemed inappropriate for a general audience under federal broadcasting rules, it stands to reason they should also be considered inappropriate for children, especially in K-8 educational settings. Another bill, AB

Journalist Chris Rufo’s latest report shows the United States has joined an international trend of embedding queer activists and priorities into government agencies, with consequences that include targeting Christians for government harassment.

Rufo notes, for example, that President Joe Biden appointed to the State Department as “a special envoy to advance the human rights of LGBTI+ persons” a “gender activist” named Jessica Stern. Previously, Stern was executive director of OutRight Action International and helped found the LGBTI Core Group at the United Nations.

The United States is a leader in pushing foreign governments to put sexual activists like Stern on public payrolls. A recent report from the United Kingdom revealed coordinated campaigns between public officials and the country’s most influential LGBT group, Stonewall. The report found a “search and destroy” targeting of Christians in the U.K. resulting in loss of employment, unwarranted legal accusations, financial degradation, and harassment that has escalated in some cases to physical attacks.

“[T]here appears some evidence of a ‘search and destroy’ organisational approach by interest groups in education, business, banking, the health service, and even within government departments,” says the report from the Commission of Inquiry into Discrimination Against Christians. “Where this type of attack is experienced, there is very often an established link between the body in question and organisations such as Stonewall.”

The activists leftist politicians promote to taxpayer-paid positions are often politically extremist. U.S. activist groups such as the Southern Poverty Law Center and
