The state of the economy in California, except in the Silicon Valley sucks—lets get real.  In a CNBC survey of the twenty best places to start a business, six of the cities are in Texas and zero are in the former Golden State.  Would you start a business knowing government was controlling your wages and […]

Commentary: Los Angeles is losing good teachers because of this policy

By Stephen Frank on Aug 21, 2016 07:04 pm
Would you send your child to a school were the most important “qualification” for a teacher is that they have spent more time in the classroom than another teacher?  Not that they inspire learning, able to get the most from the children, understand the subject taught—nope, as long as they pay bribes to a union […]

Napa supervisors look at labor-friendly ways to build inmate re-entry facility

By Stephen Frank on Aug 21, 2016 07:01 pm
100% of the people are paying close to $217 million in Napa for a new jail facility.  Of that, close to $2.5 million is a total waste—it is bribe money to a union NOT to strike or cause chaos.  It is legally called a Project Labor Agreement (PLA)—in the real world it is called extortion.  […]

What Difference Does It Make? UC Irvine “Sanctions” Anti-Jewish Bigoted Organization

By Stephen Frank on Aug 21, 2016 06:46 pm
For several years the UC Irvine approved “Students for Justice in Palestine” have harassed Jewish students, forced some to hid, others to re-locate and find a safe campus.

Obama Giving Away California Tree’s to Crony Capitalists

By Stephen Frank on Aug 21, 2016 06:43 pm
Barack Obama is a Socialist.  But, like must thieves of private property, he has his friends and his causes—willing to take money from the public and give massive profits to friends and donors—as well as those with little respect for the community and society.  Maybe he made this decision while smoking his funny cigarettes—could it […]
