Editorial ENDORSES Non-Existent $3 Billion Transportation Tax Plan for Ventura County By Stephen Frank on Jul 01, 2016 09:13 pm Prop. 1A in 2008 told us that we could build a high speed train, going from LA to San Fran in 2:45.  They even showed the route, the costs and number of riders.  All of it was a lie.  Today the plan has the high speed rail going slowly for at least half the ride, […] Read More and Comment: Editorial ENDORSES Non-Existent $3 Billion Transportation Tax Plan for Ventura County San Diego’s Public Art Isn’t Very Public By Stephen Frank on Jul 01, 2016 09:11 pm If you develop a commercial property or an apartment complex you must add on to the cost an “arts” tax.  That means a few percent of the cost of the project has to be spent on art, whether it fits your design or not.  You can pay the money into a government fund, and the […] Read More and Comment: San Diego’s Public Art Isn’t Very Public Feds Spend $723,637 Giving College Professors ‘Unconscious Bias’ Training By Stephen Frank on Jul 01, 2016 09:08 pm According to Obama, even if you are not biased, you are “unconsciously” biased.  That is like saying Martin Luther King Jr. was a racist because he wanted all people to be treated equally.  Of course, this also means that Barack believes he, himself, is biased. ““Although explicit prejudice has been declining steadily over the past […] Read More and Comment: Feds Spend $723,637 Giving College Professors ‘Unconscious Bias’ Training Final Auto Numbers: Total Sales Down 4.6%, Much Worse Than Expected By Stephen Frank on Jul 01, 2016 09:06 pm Think the economy is doing well?  It took a vote for freedom by the people of Britain to cost the New York Stock Exchange over 900 points in two days.  Three days later, we are almost completely back where we started from before the vote.  Anybody feel comfortable in todays economy?  On the California November […] Read More and Comment: Final Auto Numbers: Total Sales Down 4.6%, Much Worse Than Expected Sacramento Making Illegal Aliens “Legal” and Protected By Stephen Frank on Jul 01, 2016 09:04 pm California is a great State for lawbreakers.  Sneak into California from Mexico, Syria or Honduras and Guv Brown will take care of you.  Commit a crime?  No problem, most California are sanctuary cities, so the cops will do little or nothing.  Need and education?  The UC systems has quota’s to enroll yo , tutors to […] Read More and Comment: Sacramento Making Illegal Aliens “Legal” and Protected Those Who Care About Victims of Sex Crimes Should Oppose Gov. Brown’s Initiative By Stephen Frank on Jul 01, 2016 09:02 pm A Stanford student committed rape and received a six month sentence.  The Left and Women’s rights folks are disgusted with this and they should be—but their anger needs to be turned on themselves instead.  They supported Prop. 47, wanting felonies to become nothing more than a ticket for spitting on the sidewalk.  There wanted people […] Read More and Comment: Those Who Care About Victims of Sex Crimes Should Oppose Gov. Brown’s Initiative Bike advocates angry at Mayor Lee over recent bike deaths and lack of bike lanes By Stephen Frank on Jul 01, 2016 08:59 pm Barack Obama, San Fran Nan and the hypocrite Dianne Feinstein are blaming guns, not terrorists, for the Orlando and San Bernardino attacks.  If they truly believed that why are they allowing us to continue to buy pressure cookers without a background check?  In San Fran, the bikers that ride the streets, free of charge, go […] Read More and Comment: Bike advocates angry at Mayor Lee over recent bike deaths and lack of bike lanes City College of San Fran docks faculty pay for day of spring strike By Stephen Frank on Jul 01, 2016 08:57 pm In April the union running the City College of San Francisco (the college OJ Simpson attended before he went to USC) told its forced members (they either pay the bribe or they are not allowed to work) they were not allowed to work—they had to go on strike.  This is proof that these teachers did […] Read More and Comment: City College of San Fran docks faculty pay for day of spring strike Encinitas’ Conundrum: Obey Its Own Law, or California Law? By Stephen Frank on Jul 01, 2016 08:55 pm Should the people of Encinitas, in San Diego County make its own zoning and quality of life decisions—or should special interests and politicians in Sacramento—450 miles away—make the decisions for them?  Who said we have free elections in California?  Sacramento is demanding folks folks against their own interests. “Encinitas in 2013 passed Proposition A, which […] Read More and Comment: Encinitas’ Conundrum: Obey Its Own Law, or California Law? Will Bay Area Media Blitz Impact Homelessness? By Stephen Frank on Jul 01, 2016 08:52 pm Over the past week, every media outlet in the Bay Area—TV, cable, radio, newspaper, blogs, government press releases, non-profits, have concentrated on one issue—homelessness.  They demand money, more affordable housing—to push the cost of market place housing higher—special services.  Not once do they look at government policies causing homelessness, unaffordable housing or the disaster they […] Read More and Comment: Will Bay Area Media Blitz Impact Homelessness?   In Case You Missed It: ObamaCare Goal: 21 Million Enrollments—Actual: 11 Million PAY Bail bond businesses in a slump Another bag fee initiative qualifies for November ballot Outer California: Sacramento Sends Jobs (and People) to Nashville One More Threat to San Fran’s Homeless: San Fran Voters
