Eber: Memories of San Francisco

By Stephen Frank on May 16, 2017 08:52 pm
I know it is hard to believe, that at one time San Fran was a well respected, dignified and tolerant city.  It was a city of educated folks, with ideas created by learning, not heavy drugs.  This is a city where you could go for wonderful pastries and a debate over locally roasted coffee.  Today, […]

State Borrowing $6 Billion to Keep CalPERs Open

By Stephen Frank on May 16, 2017 08:49 pm
In the new budget, Guv Brown is adding $500 million going to CalPERS to keep their door open.  Now he wants the State to BORROW $6 billion to make sure the collapsing system does not fail.  He says it will save $11 billion over twenty years—but does not say the interest costs.  So, instead of […]

Confused Guv Brown Wants STATE to Finance $200 Billion Choo Choo to Nowhere!!!

By Stephen Frank on May 16, 2017 08:47 pm
Guv Brown no longer wants to abide by or obey Federal environmental laws.  Like the sanctuary bill, the Democrats no longer believe in law enforcement or the laws. But, by changing the rules he could get around Federal regulations that would stop the building of the choo choo train to nowhere.  How?  Once the State […]

Next Victim of CalPERS: Hayward

By Stephen Frank on May 16, 2017 08:45 pm
Note that buried deep in the problem facing the city of Hayward is the pension crisis.  The mandated contribution is going up by a minimum of 15% this year and by 100% over the next five years or less.  And, this does not count the $6 billion (not a typo) the State has to borrow […]

LAUSD Apologist Misleads to make 54% Graduation Rate Look Good

By Stephen Frank on May 16, 2017 08:42 pm
An education leader in Los Angeles is lying about the real graduation rate.  How?  By claiming there was NO lowering of graduation requirements.  That is true—except it is not.  The graduation requirements never changed and for 21$ of seniors that did not have those requirements, the District GAVE them to the failed students.  Oh, and […]

California education leader calls immigration ‘the civil rights issue of our time’–Silly Time

By Stephen Frank on May 16, 2017 08:40 pm
An academic has called immigration the civil rights issue of our time.  He was right, but for the wrong reasons.  The civil right that is at stake is that of freedom and the right to be safe—in your home, taxes, schools, hospitals, streets and in life.  Illegal aliens take YOUR right to your paycheck, job, […]

In the digital age, will libraries be obsolete?

By Stephen Frank on May 16, 2017 08:37 pm
I get more information from the Internet at 3:00am on a Sunday morning than at 4:00pm on a Monday at the UCLA Library—and I get it quicker.  I do not have to drive my car, add to the congestion of the traffic, nor do I waste money on gas or get into an accident.  Plus, […]

Montecito Gets Cold Feet over Desal

By Stephen Frank on May 16, 2017 08:24 pm
In the 1990’s Santa Barbara and Montecito spent $25 million build a desalinization plant.  It was never opened because the environmentalists did not want to possibly harm a few fish with warm water.  Even in the heart of the governor created lack of water—the media erroneously called it a drought—they refused to open the plant.  […]

You CAN be Punished for Murdering an Unborn Baby–Unless You Are Planned Parenthood

By Stephen Frank on May 16, 2017 08:21 pm
Hold the presses!!  The District Attorney of Los Angeles County convicted a man of killing his girlfriend and UNBORN child.  Two murder convictions.  The DA, Jackie Lacey, claims to be pro-choice—at best, under her views, it is a murder and a conviction on practicing medicine without a license.  Planned Parenthood kills babies EVERY day, but […]

MTV Awards to Go Gender Neutral—Lets do Same With Oscars and Olympics

By Stephen Frank on May 16, 2017 08:19 pm
The era of dividing men and women in music is over.  The MTV awards are doing away with gender specific awards—no male or female singer of the year.  This does help the transgender community—they will no longer have to choose a gender.  But, why stop with music—if we truly want to make men and women […]
