Conservatism vs. Populism: The History of the Coming Fight

By Stephen Frank on Oct 21, 2016 08:14 pm
This is a very long article.  I devoured it as one of the most important political history stories I have ever read.  This tells in wonderful detail the history of the Establishment (conservative) vs. Populism divide in the Republican Party.  Having lived through  a lot of the stories and issues, as well as being a […]

By Stephen Frank on Oct 21, 2016 08:10 pm
#blacklivesmatter is an important fixture and the California headquarters of “Hate America First”.  Police are not welcomed on campus, UC Berkeley and the city hate guns—prefer no one, including the police have weapons, but whine about crime in the community and why isn’t anybody doing something about it? “During the past several weeks in Berkeley, six […]

Pension $$ Costs Redding 42 Cops

By Stephen Frank on Oct 21, 2016 08:06 pm
Thanks to the pension crisis, the City of Redding is paying one million a more per year for police—and have 42 fewer cops (not a typo).  This is happening all over the State.  The massive unfunded CalPERS liability means towns need to raise taxes, cut basic services or a combination of both.  In either case […]

Commentary: The absurdity of charter school oversight in LA

By Stephen Frank on Oct 21, 2016 07:55 pm
Does anyone believe that an agency with only a 54% passing rate should be in control of the education of 700,000 students?  In fact, 100,000 have already left the system and enrolled in Los Angeles charter schools.  So, what do the unions do?  They decide that since these are high performing schools—as opposed to the […]

Texas Today is the California of Yesterday

By Stephen Frank on Oct 21, 2016 07:51 pm
This says it all:  “But unlike California, whose cities have refocused on elite priorities at the expense of middle-class occupations, Texas offers a complete spectrum of economic activities in its metros. Another key difference is that Texas cities have mostly embraced pro-development policies that have kept them affordable by allowing housing supply to expand with […]

Stanford University Students Demand New President Hired Based on “Racialism” NOT Quality

By Stephen Frank on Oct 21, 2016 07:48 pm
The students at Stanford have decided if they can’t go to Berkeley, they would be as silly, ignorant and bigoted as their rival to the north.  These folks hate white people and males—in the real world these are called bigots—and they pay more than $40,000 a year in tuition just to graduate as trashy, bigoted […]

Why I vote “no” on (almost) all California ballot propositions, even if I agree with them

By Stephen Frank on Oct 21, 2016 07:44 pm
Last year I was one of the authors of a book, “Taxifornia 2016”.  My charter was on the future of politics in California.  My view was, and is, that we are headed into a era where the major issues will be decided via Propositions and ballot measures.  This year there are 650 ballot measure statewide […]

New EXPORT: California Sells Marijuana to Mexico!

By Stephen Frank on Oct 21, 2016 07:41 pm
We live in a very bizarre world.  The marijuana smuggled into this country by the Mexican cartels is so watered down, that Mexicans import OUR marijuana to use and sell.  A side note, if Prop. 64 passes and marijuana is formally legalized—Prop. 47 in 2014 informally legalized it by stopping cops from arresting people with […]

Arizona Gets 1,000 NEW Jobs—California Loses 1,000 New Jobs—Nothing New

By Stephen Frank on Oct 21, 2016 07:39 pm
A car manufacturer is building a $350 million manufacturing plant.  To build that plant in California, just due to unions, the cost over run would be $52 million or move.  Then you have the added fees, cost of environmental regulations, high taxes—Arizona is a low tax State—and you have at least $100 million in savings […]
