By Stephen Frank on Sep 13, 2017 08:31 pm
Thanks to Prop. 14, it is no longer necessary to register as a Republican to vote for a Republican for Assembly in the primary—The same for Democrats voting for Democrats.  Since Prop.14, GOP registration is down over 6%–and decline to state is only 2.5% behind the GOP—by the end of the November 2018 election, Republicans […]

Sand: Our unaccountable government-run schools

By Stephen Frank on Sep 13, 2017 08:20 pm
LAUSD announces an “80%” graduation rate and leaves out the fact they give diplomas—to 45% of their “graduates” that have a “D” average.  Nor do they mention how many are rewarded credits based on the Fake “Credit Recovery” system—which in 2016 spent $20 million to create “graduates=regardless of grades or classes taken.  Then you have […]

Accountability depends on transparency, which is under siege

By Stephen Frank on Sep 13, 2017 08:12 pm
This is no surprise.  In 2016 I warned readers that Prop. 54 was just a feel good measure that could not be enforced.  Now Dan Walters exposes the truth—I was right. “The current legislative session is the first one affected by a 2016 ballot measure (Proposition 54) that requires final versions of bills to be in print for […]

By Stephen Frank on Sep 13, 2017 08:10 pm
On January 1, 2018 California will end the prohibition on marijuana.  For several years medical marijuana has been legal, but now we will have legalized recreational marijuana just like Colorado.  That does not mean that illegal marijuana will not continue to be grown.  December, 5. 1933 ended Prohibition—but moonshiners are still found today in the […]

California Lawmakers Propose $30M to Defend Dreamers

By Stephen Frank on Sep 13, 2017 08:04 pm
Think government wastes your money?  Look no further than Sacramento.  Democrats propose to spend $30 million to protect lawbreakers from foreign countries, when the Federal government finds illegal aliens.  Instead of better education, drivable roads, lower taxes—Democrats prefer to support dishonest people than honest residents. “The agreement between Gov. Jerry Brown and state Democratic leaders […]

By Stephen Frank on Sep 13, 2017 08:00 pm
