Trump calls to cut off tax breaks for illegal immigrants

By Stephen Frank on May 23, 2017 08:32 pm
Why do criminals here in this country illegally get the benefit of tax breaks?  Why do the honest folks have to pay $4 billion or more each year in taxes, so criminals from foreign countries get a check from Washington?  Instead, Homeland Security should track down the bank accounts and assets, including cars, owned by […]

Eber: Cities bit the bullet for CalPERS failures

By Stephen Frank on May 23, 2017 08:29 pm
As we know, a previously unknown State Slush Fund is “loaning” CalPERS $6 billion to keep the doors open and checks flowing.  Some governor 5-10 years from now will by Executive Order forgive the loan—oh, this is besides the added $500 million directly in the budget this year to help CalPERS stave off bankruptcy.  While […]

Does Lack Of Health Insurance Kill?

By Stephen Frank on May 23, 2017 08:26 pm
A member of Congress got into trouble for saying, “the lack of health insurance does not kill”.  In fact, health care is a complex issue, with lots of alternatives to a mediocre, high priced insurance policy that gives you a card but not coverage—forcing Nuns to buy birth control pills and 60 year old men […]

CalSTRS rates are doubling, but is that enough?

By Stephen Frank on May 23, 2017 08:23 pm
CalPERS is doubling it mandatory contribution rates, getting a $6 billion “loan” from a previously unknown State slush fund plus an extra $500 million, just to keep the doors open and the checks flowing.  Totally unsustainable.  Now, CalSTRS, that had a 1.4% return on investment in 2015, needs money to continue to finance its mismanagement.  […]

What Happens When the Majority Doesn’t Get to Choose?

By Stephen Frank on May 23, 2017 08:20 pm
Doesn’t the electoral process make you feel good?  You have a choice between candidates, policies or ideologies.  In the case of the State, in 2016 there were 16 legislative races with only one candidate on the November ballot and 28 races with only one Party on your ballot—and for the U.S. Senate you had a […]

California Passes Law That Could Make Getting Any Autographed Book or Art in the State Very Difficult

By Stephen Frank on May 23, 2017 08:17 pm
California food, housing, cars, gas, utilities and general cost of living is high.  Cigarettes have high taxes, your cable TV and smartphone has taxes, we love taxes in California.  But, some taxes are direct and others are indirect—add to the cost of a product by government fiat and the price goes up—like adding “recycling” fees […]

Santa Ana to provide legal help for immigrants facing deportation

By Stephen Frank on May 23, 2017 08:14 pm
Santa Ana is facing bankruptcy.  A large number of its residents are illegal aliens and the policy of the city is to protect criminals and demand more victims of innocent citizens.  Into all of this, the city now wants to spend money taken from honest people, to defend dishonest folks. “The city is now studying […]

Democrats snub working poor by killing licensing reform

By Stephen Frank on May 23, 2017 08:12 pm
Hillary Clinton explained the problem of the Democrat Party when she called the middle class of America, “deplorable”.  That is why Democrats have no problem of taxing us out of our paychecks, homes and a decent, free lifestyle.  Democrats have no problem protecting criminals through the ACLU or through refusing to enforce immigration laws—while decent […]

Unelected Coastal Commission violates property rights while keeping California thirsty

By Stephen Frank on May 23, 2017 08:10 pm
Did you think your property rights are safe in California?  Obviously, not cities, counties and the State pass regulations, rules, taxes, inspection schedules, expensive appeals and lengthy processes before you are allowed to build and use your property.  But, that is all done by elected officials.  For close to 40 years, thanks to a young […]

Racist Orange Coast College Professor Denies Free Speech to College Republicans

By Stephen Frank on May 23, 2017 08:08 pm
For years Orange Coast College has had an African American/Womens town hall round table discussion for the college community.  Now, a black professor has denied entry to this event, if you are a member of the OCC Young Republicans.  In other words, to this professor being a Republicans means you have no right to free […]
