He explained to me that only 20% of the money from taxes that are supposed to go to transportation needs is actually spent on transportation needs like fixing roads, filling potholes. Instead 80% of the money goes to bike and […] Read More and Comment: How San Fran Got More Drivers to Yield to Pedestrians California Educrats Lie—by Omission—To Parents About Worthless Common Core Tests By Stephen Frank on Sep 20, 2015 07:25 pm What happens when California refuses to tell parents and students their rights? “While less than 1 percent of students opted out of the tests in California, other states have had far more objections.

About 20 percent of New York students opted […] Read More and Comment: California Educrats Lie—by Omission—To Parents About Worthless Common Core Tests Can the Democrats Lose California? By Stephen Frank on Sep 20, 2015 07:22 pm If you asked the question three months ago you would be laughed at. Is it possible that the Democrats could lose California to the Republicans next November for President? Absolutely not. Then came Bernie Sanders, then came Ben Carson, then came Carly Fiorina and finally the big Kahuna, Donald Trump. All of a sudden two […] Read More and Comment: Can the Democrats Lose California? High-speed train to Vegas? China may make it happen if environmental laws don’t kill it By Stephen Frank on Sep 20, 2015 07:20 pm Can the Chinese be this desperate or ignorant—or have they figured out they can use the Obama rule—rules and laws do not matter? They are planning a train from Los Angeles to Las Vegas—high speed. Since it will be privately financed, that is OK with me. Yet, the Chinese apparently have never heard of the […] Read More and Comment: High-speed train to Vegas?

Why do Parents Allow Their Kids a Poor Education? By Stephen Frank on Sep 20, 2015 07:14 pm As we all know the reason we have poor education for our kids are the unions. They demand teachers pay bribes refuse to be in the classroom. Independent charter school teachers refuse to be bullied or extorted by the unions. That means the unions have less money to buy school board members. “Students from LA […] Read More and Comment: Why do Unions Demand Poor Education? Why do Parents Allow Their Kids a Poor Education? Surprise! Government Found Guilty of Violating Constitution By Stephen Frank on Sep 20, 2015 07:12 pm Our confused Guv Brown is so desperate for money; he illegally charges non-residents more for fishing fees than residents. So the question I have is how do they charge illegal aliens? “The state of California is violating the constitutional rights of out-of-state commercial fishers when it charges them triple for various fees, the U.S. 9th […] Read More and Comment: Surprise!
