Federal Government Decision: Speaking SPANISH is a Disability—Seriously! By Stephen Frank on Apr 07, 2015 08:24 pm How do you provide welfare payments and government handouts to those you want to own if you are Washington? In the case of the Social Security Administration, you declare speaking Spanish as a disability. No, this is not an April Fool’s joke, this is a Federal government policy. “The Social Security Administration (SSA) approved disability […] Read More and Comment: Federal Government Decision: Speaking SPANISH is a Disability—Seriously! YOUR San Fran Tax $$ in Action: Home Water Inspectors of Showers and Toilets By Stephen Frank on Apr 07, 2015 08:21 pm In San Fran you might have a knock at the door and some unknown lady will ask to inspect your shower, toilet and water faucets. She could spend a few hours deciding whether you are wasting water—how to fix it. The story does not tell how much she is paid, including benefits, how that money […] Read More and Comment: YOUR San Fran Tax $$ in Action: Home Water Inspectors of Showers and Toilets Serial Fondler Schwarzenegger Now Opposes Religious Freedom By Stephen Frank on Apr 07, 2015 08:19 pm To paraphrase what was famously asked during the “McCarthy” era in the 1950’, “Have you no shame” Arnold Schwarzenegger? Arnold has almost as many accusers as Bill Cosby—but unlike Cosby, Arnold had a baby with a housecleaner in his own home. This is a man that women on movie sets knew to stay away from […] Read More and Comment: Serial Fondler Schwarzenegger Now Opposes Religious Freedom Attention America: Californians will shower less (by order of Governor) By Stephen Frank on Apr 07, 2015 08:07 pm It is interesting how stories get pieced together. Last week the California Political News and Views told a story about how the EPA used $15,000 of your tax money to develop a monitoring device for showers. It would report back to a central authority, in the pilot program a hotel, and then notice how long […] Read More and Comment: Attention America: Californians will shower less (by order of Governor) Elias: Desalination Looks Better As Water Prices Rise By Stephen Frank on Apr 07, 2015 08:05 pm California has not built a dam since Jerry Brown was first Governor in 1975. Until the last three years or so, environmentalists have held up the development of desalinization plants that could have provided water to almost half of California. Then, we have thanks to Arnold, Jerry and environmentalists for millions of acre feet of […] Read More and Comment: Elias: Desalination Looks Better As Water Prices Rise Who Cares? More Cal Berkeley Silliness— Berkeley to avoid calling freshmen ‘spring admits’ because it hurts their feelings By Stephen Frank on Apr 07, 2015 08:02 pm Cal Berkeley is known as being politically correct and sensitive to the needs, real or imagined for everybody (except for white males, Christians and people promoting freedom). It is a place where waving the flag of ISIS is a solemn occasion and the waving of the American flag a sign of bigotry, hatred and violence—the […] Read More and Comment: Who Cares?

The system is a failure. Parents have begun the process of using the “Parent Trigger” to fire the unionized teachers and administrators of their children’s schools. These failures have harmed the minority community, while the unions have made millions from stealing from teachers, then using the money to […] Read More and Comment: LAUSD Keep Elementary School Libraries Closed in Black/Hispanic Neighborhoods Ballot in 2016: A Taxing Proposition Column by Stephen Frank By Stephen Frank on Apr 07, 2015 07:52 pm Watch out for November 2016. The economic disaster that is the former Golden State, is possibly getting worse. Not only will the mismanaged government water polices killing hundreds of thousands of jobs, killing farms and raising the cost of food nationwide, but CalPERS and CalSTRS have become political correct in their investments—costing retiree security and […] Read More and Comment: Ballot in 2016: A Taxing Proposition Column by Stephen Frank Excuses Abound in Sacramento: $$ For Drought Relief From LAST Year Still Not Spent or Allocated By Stephen Frank on Apr 07, 2015 07:49 pm As the California Political News and Views has been saying for the past year, the drought is natural. The lack of water is due to government policy. Last year money was allocated for drought relief. In 2006 we passed a water bond—that Gov. Brown agreed to spend a few bucks from three weeks ago for […] Read More and Comment: Excuses Abound in Sacramento: $$ For Drought Relief From LAST Year Still Not Spent or Allocated Those Dying Deserve “Right to Try” any Drug By Stephen Frank on Apr 07, 2015 07:41 pm This is a difficult issue, the issue of dying. We do not talk about it, to try to use buzz words and fear the discussion of assisted suicide or the right to try drugs government has not already given approval for use. Yet, if a patient is terminal and wants to use an unapproved drug, […] Read More and Comment: Those Dying Deserve “Right to Try” any Drug   In Case You Missed It: Los Angeles Crime Spikes High—Minorities VICTIMS of ACLU and White Guilt Obama War on Women Succeeds: 56,131,000 Women Not in Labor Force; Women’s Labor Force Participation Matches 27-Year Low CalSTRS: We Are an Ideological Pension System—Retirees Be Damned Bill Would Require Search Warrants For Digital Files Growing Almonds: GALLON of Water PER Nut
