Food Writers Fooled By Gourmet Meal Made With McDonald’s Ingredients By Stephen Frank on Feb 07, 2016 07:19 pm As many of my readers know, I am a “foodie”. My favorite channel is not Fox News, it is the Food Channel. As I travel, I check an app on my smartphione, :Diners, Drivers and Dives, to check the most interesting places to eat in the area—if this does not have a location, the Food […] Read More and Comment: Food Writers Fooled By Gourmet Meal Made With McDonald’s Ingredients Alameda Supervisor Scott Haggerty Implodes—Tells Off Constituents! By Stephen Frank on Feb 07, 2016 07:12 pm Every once in a while an elected official explodes in public. It is never pretty, nor does it give confidence to the constituents that those elected to represent them, have respect for them. In Alameda County, Supervisor Scott Haggerty tore apart his constituents apart—now we know what he thinks of those in his district. Maybe […] Read More and Comment: Alameda Supervisor Scott Haggerty Implodes—Tells Off Constituents! State Collecting Data: To Assure Illegal Aliens NOT Truant From School By Stephen Frank on Feb 07, 2016 07:10 pm The State of California is now going to collect data on truant students. It would be cheaper to determine the students that are illegal aliens, moving from place to place, hiding from authorities and not taking an American education seriously. Money government is using could be used to create quality education for honest students, provide […] Read More and Comment: State Collecting Data: To Assure Illegal Aliens NOT Truant From School Parent leaders trying to engage with LAUSD meet with frustration By Stephen Frank on Feb 07, 2016 07:08 pm No one can honestly claim that Los Angeles Unified School district provides a quality education,. In fact, it took an act of the legislature not work in the classroom, to give 50,000 students, since 2007 that have failed to earn a diploma, to get one. That is the value of a diploma from LAUSD. The […] Read More and Comment: Parent leaders trying to engage with LAUSD meet with frustration San Carlos Crime Hits 11 Year High—Thank You to Prop. 47, AB 109 By Stephen Frank on Feb 07, 2016 07:06 pm San Carlos, a town of 29,000 in San Mateo County is as Leftist as it comes. So, maybe the huge spike in crime is deserved. If you vote to release criminals from prison, demand that illegal aliens be protected and have State office holders, like Assemblyman Kevin Mullin who loves AB109—which released over 50,000 vicious […] Read More and Comment: San Carlos Crime Hits 11 Year High—Thank You to Prop. 47, AB 109 California’s Deep Debt Problems By Stephen Frank on Feb 07, 2016 07:03 pm The Democrat State Treasurer of California has announced that the former Golden State has $1.5 trillion in debt. So when the really confused Guv Brown claims we have a budget surplus, he is misleading. In fact, according to State Senator John Moorlach the last fiscal year ended with a $117 billion operational budget deficit, and […] Read More and Comment: California’s Deep Debt Problems Hot-Button Ideas Set for Monday Meeting on Future of CA Courts By Stephen Frank on Feb 07, 2016 06:59 pm How will the court system in California operate? Will it respond to the State of California or the needs of the local counties? Do the hacks in Sacramento have the ability to control the management of trial courts in Kern and Imperial counties? Certainly, technology can be used statewide to make our courts more efficient […] Read More and Comment: Hot-Button Ideas Set for Monday Meeting on Future of CA Courts What Recovery? Santa Maria Farms Lay Off Almost 900 Workers By Stephen Frank on Feb 07, 2016 06:56 pm The seriously confused Guv Brown is crowing about surplus revenues, balanced budgets and massive tax increase (huh if you have $10 billion in more revenues, why tax increases). Jerry Brown is just an old fashioned tax and spend Democrat, believing he is smarter than any other California, so he should own your paycheck and create […] Read More and Comment: What Recovery? Santa Maria Farms Lay Off Almost 900 Workers Fifty Percent Water Rate Increase Causes Revolt in Redlands By Stephen Frank on Feb 07, 2016 06:55 pm Save money, lose money. That is the result of the lack of water policy by the really confused Guv Brown. Brown believes passing water cutting mandates, giving water to fish instead of people and fining folks is the “California water policy.” Since 1975 thanks to Jerry Brown, we have not built new water storage facilities […] Read More and Comment: Fifty Percent Water Rate Increase Causes Revolt in Redlands Local School District to Pay CalSTRS 8.25% in 2016—19.1% in 2020–$$ Taken From Classrooms and Teachers By Stephen Frank on Feb 07, 2016 06:51 pm In less than four years, 20% of the “education” money will not go to “education”, instead the money will go to pensions. Money meant for teachers, curriculum, technology and facilities will go to a pension system on the verge of collapse. On top of this teachers will receive a pay cut—with more of their salary […] Read More and Comment: Local School District to Pay CalSTRS 8.25% in 2016—19.1% in 2020–$$ Taken From Classrooms and Teachers   In Case You Missed It: Happy Birthday President Ronald Reagan!
