Berkeley City Council: Erect Fence to Keep OUT Homeless—No Fence to Keep out Illegal Aliens

By Stephen Frank on Jul 08, 2016 07:55 pm
The City Council of Berkeley is filled with hypocrites.  This is a city that protects illegal aliens, opposes fences on the border to keep out illegal aliens and wants a path to citizenship, along with amnesty for illegal aliens.  They love illegal aliens.  On the other hand they hate Americans without a home.  So much […]

Feds moving to strip money from U.S. sanctuary cities

By Stephen Frank on Jul 08, 2016 07:53 pm
It is snowing in hell.   Hillary turned honest for a day.  Planned Parenthood decided to save babies instead of killing them.  The “decision” by the Department of Justice claiming that sanctuary cities violate federal law by protecting illegal aliens is wrong, must be stopped and if isn’t, the Feds will slow down the money train […]

Oakland, San Jose Police Suspend Solo Patrols in Wake of Dallas Attack

By Stephen Frank on Jul 08, 2016 07:51 pm
Both San Jose and Oakland had to fire a large number of police, because due to the pension crisis, they could not afford to pay the police they needed.  Now, thanks to the sniper in Dallas, crime is going to get worse in both cities.  To make up for the lack of cops, the departments […]

Dirty coal use cut in LA: ‘Major step’ in pollution battle

By Stephen Frank on Jul 08, 2016 07:49 pm
As many of you know, I live in Simi Valley.  On Thursday we had five power outages across a large portion of the west side of town.  Yes, five—four in the morning and one at about 10:30 at night—no explanations—just outages.  Looks like Los Angeles is about to have “unexplained” power outages, for no apparent […]

Schools hike builder fees: Developers must pay more to build in Burlingame

By Stephen Frank on Jul 08, 2016 07:47 pm
If you thought living in Burlingame was expensive—and it is—wait till the school district gives you the old one/two punch.  First they are going to make the cost of new housing and new commercial projects more expensive.  “Though the rate hikes may seem marginal, collectively the amount of money developers must pay the school district […]

Feds Spending $3 Million to Create National Bicycle Center

By Stephen Frank on Jul 08, 2016 07:45 pm
Your tax dollars on a Federal level are going to crazy things—like studies asking why fat girls can’t get dates and why San Fran prostitutes use drugs.  Now we have $3 million going to the study of “bike riding in America”.  Here is a crazy idea—why doesn’t the manufacturers of bikes, who benefit from the […]

Exiting The Public Schools–a Story of Morality and Values

By Stephen Frank on Jul 08, 2016 07:42 pm
Full Disclosure, in the past I have worked with Pastor Chad Vegas on political projects.  This is a story about a man that holds his faith and family as his guiding light—not politics or holding an office.  He is showing by example how to make a difference in a community.  When, you can no longer […]

UC Berkeley ‘income inequality’ experts earn more than $300,000 a year

By Stephen Frank on Jul 08, 2016 07:41 pm
If it weren’t for hypocrisy we would not have any Leftists and UC Berkeley would be a school of education not indoctrination. “Several UC Berkeley economics professors who support “income inequality” research each earn more than $300,000 a year, putting them in the top 2 percent of the public university’s salary distribution, according to a […]

District OKs $56M bond for schools: Burlingame officials seek fall ballot measure to finance improvements

By Stephen Frank on Jul 08, 2016 07:35 pm
If you want to live in Burlingame you better be rich—really rich.  The School District is working on a two pronged plan to make the residents less rich.  First, they are increasing the parcel tax—so you pay more to the schools, have less for your family.  But since you are rich, it does not matter.  […]

Response to NPR Attack On Quality Education for Children

By Stephen Frank on Jul 08, 2016 07:32 pm
Locke High in Los Angeles in the mid 2000’s had a couple of dozen students, out of hundreds, graduate.  In 2009 Green Dot charter schools took it over, and the graduation rate—and the rate of students going to college skyrocketed.  The change—the teachers worked for the students and parents, not the District and the unions.  […]
