Commentary: Why do many big donors prefer charter schools? (Hint: It’s not because they hate unions) By Stephen Frank on Feb 10, 2016 08:48 pm There is a misconception that folks that support Charter Schools are doing it to end unions.

The […] Read More and Comment: Guv Brown/Pres.

Handgun Ad Ban By Stephen Frank on Feb 10, 2016 08:39 pm It is legal to but a gun—in fact folks in California are buying them at record numbers. Yet, government does not allow the manufacturers to advertise their products. Seriously government and the Left believe if gun makers can’t buy ads, no one will buy them. Actually, because of the policies of government and the Left […] Read More and Comment: 9th Circ. Wrestles Over Calif. Handgun Ad Ban November: Ballot props lining up–at Least 15!

By 2008, the U.S. auto makers went belly up and the American poor and middle class were forced to bail them out—then Obama gave more than half of Chrysler to the UAW—in payment for their support.
