Kill a shark that is trying to eat […] Read More and Comment: Someone is Off Their Meds: Killing Sharks Causes Climate Change—Scientists Claim Why do Cities Own and Subsidize Parking Lots? By Stephen Frank on Oct 01, 2015 08:00 pm Is it the role of government to provide you with a parking lot? Should taxpayers subsidize your use of a space already owned by government—isn’t this double taxation. Why does government charge less than the cost of the parking service? Bakersfield is usually considered a conservative, fiscally responsible city. In this case they are acting […] Read More and Comment: Why do Cities Own and Subsidize Parking Lots? California Groundwater Law Tests State’s Capacity to Oversee A Vital Resource By Stephen Frank on Oct 01, 2015 07:58 pm Government runs the Post Office, the roads, most education, the VA. Think you want water to be controlled by the same failed policies and failures making key decisions about water? Gov. Brown has taken water meant for people and given it to fish bait (delta smelt). Then he took $287 million meant for water storage […] Read More and Comment: California Groundwater Law Tests State’s Capacity to Oversee A Vital Resource UC Berkeley professor, team receive grant to study smell By Stephen Frank on Oct 01, 2015 07:56 pm I love the large variety of things government schools, using tax dollars, can study. We have an $18 trillion national debt, and growing. The White House prefers to fight the non-existent “climate change” while putting Russia’s Putin in charge of fighting terrorism. In California the pension system is collapsing and the water crisis is making […] Read More and Comment: UC Berkeley professor, team receive grant to study smell Dozen Arrested in Protest Linking Banking Industry to Climate Change By Stephen Frank on Oct 01, 2015 07:53 pm The Left loves, rallies, riots, closing down businesses, stopping people from speaking—and they do not need a good reason or facts to make it happen. Just whisper in their ear that someone who is successful, selling goods or products, and they get the urge to stop productivity. “Outside, demonstrators chanted “The waters are rising! No […] Read More and Comment: Dozen Arrested in Protest Linking Banking Industry to Climate Change Kotkin: Antisemitism at UC Campuses Part of Global Trend By Stephen Frank on Oct 01, 2015 07:52 pm Next to the Middle East, the most anti-Semitic section of the world is the University of California. That is if you do not count the White House. At UC Irvine, supporters of Israel are shouting down and run off campus. UCLA disqualified a Jewish student from being Director of a Diversity Center—because she was Jewish. […] Read More and Comment: Kotkin: Antisemitism at UC Campuses Part of Global Trend Guv Brown Lack of Water Policy Killing Off Another Industry—Bee’s By Stephen Frank on Oct 01, 2015 07:49 pm Dairy cows are leaving California due to environmental laws. Thanks to regulations California is almost devoid of manufacturing. Tech companies move to Texas. There are no more auto makers in California unless you count the taxpayer subsidized TESLA. California outbid other States to win the “honor” of giving tax dollars to the billionaire Elon Musk.

Instead of firing the racists, all of them, instead a “training” class will be held. This is another example of what low respect Democrats have in law enforcement. Want to protect the public; you are one step […] Read More and Comment: San Jose Government: ALL law Enforcement is Biased—Must Have Racism “Trained” Out of Them Ring: Desalination Plants vs. Bullet Trains and Pensions By Stephen Frank on Oct 01, 2015 07:44 pm Simple question: Does California have a water crisis or a train crisis? Which issue should be resolved to save jobs in the State? Which issue should be used to pay off unions, crony capitalists and kill the economy? Our confused Guv Brown does not have a water policy—except to fine people and give needed water […] Read More and Comment: Ring: Desalination Plants vs. Bullet Trains and Pensions Prison spending rises, even as inmate population plummets By Stephen Frank on Oct 01, 2015 07:42 pm How does this happen? We have 30,000 fewer prisoners, approximately one third less than the highest number of convicts, yet the cost of the remaining prisoners is higher than ever? You would think the cost would go down. While we knew crime would rise, and it did, making more victims, keeping vicious criminals on the […] Read More and Comment: Prison spending rises, even as inmate population plummets   In Case You Missed It: California Assembly Democrats Allow Continued Theft of Private Property by Government USDA Spent Housing Funds on Christmas Parties, Trips to Six Flags The Underbelly Of The California Drought Study on California’s debt reveals state’s hidden nightmare Some L.A.
