In 97 Days California GOP Lost ANOTHER 14,966 Voters/Dems Add 100,000 By Stephen Frank on May 13, 2016 08:11 pm Watch as the media plays up this story as California GOP leaders reply “NO COMMENT” to questions about how this happened?  Could it be the lack of money spent by the California Republican Party over the past three years that has cost it a total of almost 420,000 voters. Maybe it was the shenanigans of […] Read More and Comment: In 97 Days California GOP Lost ANOTHER 14,966 Voters/Dems Add 100,000 Leftists/Unions Create $144 BILLION Tax Increase Measure (Not a Typo) By Stephen Frank on May 13, 2016 08:10 pm I need to apologize to my readers for promoting wrong information.  Originally, I had been told that the extension of Prop. 30 was going for twelve years and cost $9 billion a year—as opposed to the current $6 billion a year.  I was wrong.  The new proposal is still for twelve years—but will raise $11 […] Read More and Comment: Leftists/Unions Create $144 BILLION Tax Increase Measure (Not a Typo) Pew study: Shrinking middle class in cities across America By Stephen Frank on May 13, 2016 08:07 pm Taxes are going up.  Environmentalists are killing jobs—tax codes are sending jobs to other nations.  Obama has decided to put boys into the girls bathroom, on a whim.  Affordable housing advocate are raising the price of market priced housing.  Fanatics are closing traffic lanes, killing small business to assure bicycles can take over the roads—without […] Read More and Comment: Pew study: Shrinking middle class in cities across America Prop 50: The weirdest measure on the ballot this year By Stephen Frank on May 13, 2016 08:05 pm The Legislature can suspend a member.  It can stop payments, fire staff and close community offices of a Member. It can even throw a member out of the Assembly or Senate.  Yet, they have put a measure on the June ballot, the only measure on the ballot, that “allows” them to stop payment  to wayward […] Read More and Comment: Prop 50: The weirdest measure on the ballot this year Irvine built nearly half of the new homes, condos, and apartments in Orange County over the last six years. By Stephen Frank on May 13, 2016 08:02 pm One city in Orange County accounts for half of the housing units built in the entire County.  Yet 80% of those that purchase in Irvine are international buyers, not Californians or Americans.  Are they looking for a home if their home nation collapses? “In Orange County one city accounted for nearly half of all new […] Read More and Comment: Irvine built nearly half of the new homes, condos, and apartments in Orange County over the last six years. LAUSD Superintendent Proposes SCHOOL CHOICE—Will Dozens of Schools Close? By Stephen Frank on May 13, 2016 08:00 pm This is honestly a real shocker—an LAUSD Superintendent, that came up through the ranks, approved by the unions (which had veto power) and apparently a believer in government schools uber alles.  Yet, she has determined that the quality of education is more important that the union ownership of government schools. “In a decade, if Los […] Read More and Comment: LAUSD Superintendent Proposes SCHOOL CHOICE—Will Dozens of Schools Close? Exclusive: San Fran’s Bare Escentuals moving HQ to New York By Stephen Frank on May 13, 2016 07:58 pm What Recovery?  Yet another California firm, this one from San Fran moving from the worst State in the union for business to the third worst—New York.  Imagine how bad California is if New York looks good for a business! “The company said in a statement that the relocation was part of an effort to reposition […] Read More and Comment: Exclusive: San Fran’s Bare Escentuals moving HQ to New York UC to Spend $900,000 to PROTECT Illegal Alien Students From Deportation By Stephen Frank on May 13, 2016 07:56 pm I bet your legislator has told you we are under funding the UC system? I bet that you think tuition to a UC campus is way too high and going higher.  At the same time campuses are being used to spew hatred, teach bigotry and promote terrorists.  It is hard to be approved for enrollment […] Read More and Comment: UC to Spend $900,000 to PROTECT Illegal Alien Students From Deportation LA Has a Plan to Legalize Bootleg Apartments By Stephen Frank on May 13, 2016 07:55 pm Los Angeles, like other liberal cities has rules and regulations about housing units.  That is one of the reason there is a shortage of affordable housing—since the rules are so strict, legitimate facilities are too expensive if they are up to code (except that the city looks the other way when 3-4 illegal aliens live […] Read More and Comment: LA Has a Plan to Legalize Bootleg Apartments California to Judge Schools based, in part, On LOW Suspension rates—Instead of Quality of Education By Stephen Frank on May 13, 2016 07:54 pm The idea that education and learning is the purpose and goal of government education has ended in California.  In LAUSD 40% of the grade is based on “socio-economic/cultural traditions”—in plain language, grades are based on the color of your skin.  Racism is the goal of LAUSD. Now the State has sophisticated this process, though it […] Read More and Comment: California to Judge Schools based, in part, On LOW Suspension rates—Instead of Quality of Education   In Case You Missed It: CEO’s: Texas BEST State for Business/California WORST California ponders expanding cap and trade to Brazil UCLA students threatened online for claiming ‘there are only two genders’ UCI Anti-Zionism week clashes with Holocaust Remembrance Day LA City Council re-re-re-considers plan to add bike lanes, reduce some car lanes on Friday
