Judge Orders LAUSD Students Held Hostage in Content Less Classes. Racism By Stephen Frank on Apr 24, 2015 08:12 pm It is hard to believe. First that a Judge is forcing students to take classes that have no content, no education purpose—in fact, this is emotional abuse by government schools and the courts prefer your children to be dumb, period. Second, government schools are allowed to put children into holding cells, ur, classrooms, without a […] Read More and Comment: Judge Orders LAUSD Students Held Hostage in Content Less Classes. Racism SoCal’s Housing Crisis: Middle Class, Minorities May Not Survive By Stephen Frank on Apr 24, 2015 08:10 pm Unless you are Kolbe, Kanye, Kamela Harris or the CEO of a bank, in twenty years you will probably be cheering for the Cowboys and learning how to speak Texan.

By Stephen Frank on Apr 24, 2015 08:02 pm Has the San Fran and California collapse begun? In 2006-7 we started to see the housing bubble but paid no attention to it. By 2008 we had wholesale foreclosures, evictions and banks were in trouble for bad home loans. Today we are seeing massive building of commercial facilities for tech companies in San Fran.

Californians’ Attitudes Toward Marijuana Legalization–It Will Pass at the Ballot Box By Stephen Frank on Apr 24, 2015 07:59 pm It is my belief that if a vote was taken today by the people of California, marijuana would be legalized. But does a vote matter anymore? Due to Prop. 47, the use of marijuana is no different than spitting on the sidewalk. In most cases cops will not waste their time to arrest or ticket […] Read More and Comment: Californians’ Attitudes Toward Marijuana Legalization–It Will Pass at the Ballot Box Brown dumps green regulations to push water tunnel plan By Stephen Frank on Apr 24, 2015 07:57 pm Jerry Brown is as phony as a three dollar bill.

He claims the icebergs are melting and will flood coastal California—2-3 miles inland. Yet, he spent $9 million on a mansion near the beach in Montecito, California—the extraordinarily expensive city near Santa Barbara—one of his neighbors is […] Read More and Comment: Al Gore Money Making Scam Outed Sacramento Democrats Demand Constituents Buy Covered California/They Vote THEMSELVES Out of Plan By Stephen Frank on Apr 24, 2015 07:46 pm The Democrats in the legislature are not dumb. They know a bad health care plan when they see it—they want their families to be covered by quality, cost effective health care. To make sure this continued, they voted against a GOP bill that would force them into the same system they are forcing their constituents.

At first blush, this is terrible. Actually this is a real opportunity for lower taxes, better services and transportations systems based on needs, not unions or special interests. “In all, the feds are blocking $1 billion or more promised to […] Read More and Comment: Feds to CA: Reform Pensions and WE Cut Your Transportation $$   In Case You Missed It: CPUC may OK higher electric rates–mostly for middle class and poor Audit finds jail releases up 37 percent since realignment Del Beccaro: Dear Pope Francis, Catholicism Owes A Debt To Capitalism Why California faces ‘lost generation’ of homebuyers Actors Vote to Work—Union Overrides—Actors NOT Allowed to Work Except With UNION Permission
