There is an effort by Assemblywoman Melendez to investigate the buying of votes by Jerry Brown to get his $52 billion slush fund passed—over 40% of the gas tax increase does not go to roads—it goes to bike lanes, trains, animal corridors and bathrooms.  We found that it took a Republican, State Senator Anthony Cannella […]

PD Editorial: Politics shouldn’t drive pension investments

By Stephen Frank on May 03, 2017 08:46 pm
CalPERS has a $1.4 trillion unfunded liability.  The trustees have a fiduciary responsibility to maximize returns, within the law.  Instead billions are investment in low and no return social justice and environmental businesses.  Then you have whole industries that can not be invested in—and even an unwritten rule not to invest in Israeli companies—regardless of […]

California is putting rapists, men that beat women, harm children and steal from convenience stores, kill people while DUI, back on the streets.  The Federal government has been giving money to agencies to detain these folks and allow ICE to take them on Federal charges—so the Leftists declare a sanctuary and protect the criminals.  Now.

Now the newspapers in Southern California are editorializing against the biggest scam in American history, the choo choo to nowhere.  They have signed billions in contracts with no money to pay.  They have used eminent domain (government theft) to take hundreds of homes and businesses—and created slums and ghettos.  This an agency they lied to […]

By Stephen Frank on May 03, 2017 08:30 pm
Under the 2016 pass ballot measure Prop. 57, the rape of a woman, who is under the influence of drugs, alcohol or is unconscious is NOT considered a violent crime.  The Left has gone so far that rape is OK’s—and Guv Brown, Hillary Clinton, NOW and other feminist organization have been silent—and silence is consent—Hillary […]

By Stephen Frank on May 03, 2017 08:28 pm
Great news for the taxpayers of Los Angeles and California.  Fewer people are using the highly subsidized buses and government transportation system.  That means while the costs continue to rise for tax dollars propping up unions and special interests, the growth in wasted money is slowing down.  The better news is that citizens have a […]
