You know you’re from California if: Humor From a Totalitarian State

By Stephen Frank on Aug 17, 2016 08:25 pm
Sometimes you need a laugh.  Corruption in Sacramento and Washington, leaders that think America is bad and apologize to terrorists, Clinton who throws away four American lives in Benghazi like a used Kleenex tissue.  The California pension system is unsustainable. Years ago I organized political groups in 44 States.  A good friend, Lorelei Kinder, told […]

Bob Hertzberg Wants Your Money—Will Even Misled about it! Tax Your Use of Doctors/CPA’s and Attorneys

By Stephen Frank on Aug 17, 2016 08:22 pm
Bob Hertzberg gives great hugs—but you need to protect your wallet when in his grasp.  This is your typical Democrat, smiles nice, pretends to care about you are your family, then wants to assure poverty for all.  He has a plan to add a sales tax to all your services—hire an attorney for a divorce, […]

LAUSD has a Real Graduation rate of 54%–Middle School Students Fleeing

By Stephen Frank on Aug 17, 2016 08:20 pm
Would you send your child to a school district that has a 54% real graduation rate, then uses $15 million to create unearned credits, so another 20% can receive worthless diploma’s.  Then, the District says out a press release claiming the highest graduation rate in years—75%–as if a failure rate of 25% is wonderful.  Do […]

Californians on pace to buy 1 million guns in 2016

By Stephen Frank on Aug 17, 2016 08:18 pm
Thanks to Barack and Clinton, with help from the hypocrite Sacramento Democrats, more Californians than ever are able to protect themselves from gangs, thugs, terrorists and other bad people.  The police are afraid to arrest or detain criminals, since the criminals will sue them for violation of Constitutional rights—especially if the cop is of one […]

What Recovery? Long Beach Port Traffic Down 7.7%; Cass Freight Index Down, Intermodal Shipping Down

By Stephen Frank on Aug 17, 2016 08:15 pm
Sales, Income and corporate tax revenues were down by almost 10% in July in California.  In the past five years, Sacramento spending has gone up by 45% (in part due to the Prop. 30 new taxes), CalPERS, using honest numbers has an unfunded liability of $946 billion dollars—and the State has a $1.5 trillion debt. […]

Global Shipping Show Global Recession in Progress

By Stephen Frank on Aug 17, 2016 08:13 pm
In another article, we published a story about the Port of Long Beach having a miserable year, with cargo in and out of the port declining severely.  This is not just a California issue or problem, there is a global recession in the shipping industry.  Thanks to terrorism, European socialism and the EU, the economic […]

Water Authority’s Electricity Plans Kick Off a Power Struggle With SDG&E

By Stephen Frank on Aug 17, 2016 08:10 pm
Looks like the privately owned San Diego Gas & Electric Company is going to have a competitor in providing electricity.  No, not another private firm, but a government agency, the San Diego County Water Authority.  SDG&E needs to make a profit—the Water Authority can afford to lose money, lots of money—because they can raise the […]

Feds Spend $50,400 for Book on Human Relationships With Old Trees

By Stephen Frank on Aug 17, 2016 08:08 pm
Washington really knows how to waste money.  They will nickel and dime us to death.  Did you really want to spend $50,000 on a book about human relationships with old trees—is this the ultimate tree hugger book.  How about spending another $50,000 on a book about the human relationship with seedlings and the potential of […]

Will $400 Million in Housing Funds for San Fran Disappear?

By Stephen Frank on Aug 17, 2016 08:05 pm
Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.  In the case of the very confused Guv Brown, he has come out of his fog long enough to understand that unions, tenants and environmentalists are not friendly toward NEW housing, affordable or market priced.  Due to lawsuits and special conditions, the cost of building goes […]

Moorlach: 7-Step Fix for ‘Mismanaged’ Caltrans

By Stephen Frank on Aug 17, 2016 08:03 pm
CalTrans is responsible for our freeway system.  Think they are doing a good job?  The 405 in the LA area, the 580 and 680 in the Bay Area—the 80 and 50 in the Sacramento area are all crowded and in ill repair.  Cal Trans has 3500 employees it does not need and waste time, effort […]
