Opinion There is no such thing as non-political Experts suggest that claiming to be “non-political” is a myth that serves to maintain the status quo. It works like this: "If I tell you I’m not political you can’t question my motives for what I say and do." Watch how fast saying “I’m not political” shuts you up and probably even stops you from thinking. We can plainly see what people say and do, and determine which side of the fence they are on. Saying, “I don’t belong to a p

In a stunning display of political opportunism, Democratic leaders in Los Angeles are openly pushing to dismantle one of the core principles of American self-government: the idea that voting is a right reserved for citizens. A Los Angeles City Councilmember, Hugo Soto-Martínez, has introduced a motion to amend the city charter to allow the council to expand voting rights in local elections—including for mayor and City Council—to non-citizens. This isn't some fringe proposal h

In Escondido, California, on May 20, 2026, 69-year-old U.S. Army veteran Kerry Sheron was brutally beaten outside his home in what his wife, Maria Garcia, describes as a politically motivated attack. Sheron, who is not expected to survive according to his family, had exercised his First Amendment rights by proudly displaying American flags, pro-Trump banners, and patriotic symbols on his property—known locally as the "Trump House." Home of Kerry Sheron, referred to as the Tru

Breaking: Shasta Unfiltered • May 20, 2026 In what appears to be yet another stunning example of the two-tiered justice system and lingering deep state rot, a former high-ranking federal prosecutor in Florida has been indicted for allegedly stealing confidential portions of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s sealed report on President Trump’s classified documents case. Carmen Mercedes Lineberger, 62, who served as Managing Assistant U.S. Attorney in the Southern District of Florid

In our recent article, “The Supreme Court Must Uphold President Trump’s Executive Order on Birthright Citizenship,” we laid out why ending automatic citizenship for children born in the U.S. to illegal immigrants is both constitutionally sound and vital for protecting American sovereignty. As the Supreme Court prepares to rule in Trump v. Barbara this summer, a powerful new analysis from one of the nation’s leading constitutional scholars provides essential historical and leg

Some publications list Redding among the best places to live in California - Credit livability.com Social media is once again lighting up with calls for California to secede from the United States. The pitch from liberal Democrats and coastal elites is simple and seductive: California’s economy is so massive that, standing alone, it would rank as the world’s 4th- or 5th-largest economy — bigger than Japan, India, or the United Kingdom. With a 2025 nominal GDP of $4.25–$4.3 tr

Shasta County voters head to the polls every election cycle thinking they’re making informed choices on big statewide issues. But too often, what shows up on the ballot is a carefully worded trap. California’s ballot propositions—sold with sunny titles and summaries cooked up by the Attorney General’s office—frequently hide the real costs, tax hikes, or policy shifts until after the votes are counted. It’s not accidental. It’s a feature of a system that lets politicians and s

The panel stated that during the March 2024 election, Shasta County experienced over 20 different time changes many of which occurred in 60-second increments and many occurred in the middle of the night (which indicates possible remote access.) In this same election, a thumb drive containing 100 votes disappeared and did not make it into the Cast Vote Record data, in a race that was decided by just 14 votes

Anderson City Councilmember Darin Hale delivered a powerful, no-holds-barred address yesterday at the Shasta County Republican Assembly (SCRA) candidate forum in what became a one-sided showcase of conservative principles.

From Slavery and Segregation to Unions, the Working Class, and Modern Progressivism The Democratic Party is the oldest active political party in the United States. Over nearly two centuries, it has transformed dramatically—from its 19th-century roots defending slavery and Southern interests, to the mid-20th-century party of labor unions and the working class, and more recently to a party centered on identity politics, cultural progressivism (often called “woke”), and democrat

Shasta County’s election integrity battles keep delivering wins for We the People. After another round of lawfare aimed at blocking Measure B, private citizens stepped up, defended the qualified ballot measure in court, and won decisively.
