Simi Valley Police and Other Cities Giving Info on Illegal Aliens to ICE

By Stephen Frank on Jan 30, 2018 08:29 pm
I am proud to be a citizen in Simi Valley.  There are 14 other cities that have residents that should also be proud—their police departments, like Simi Valley, are helping ICE find illegal aliens.  They have been doing this by allowing ICE access to the “license plate reader” program. “The Trump administration is following through […]

After Killing 20-Week Abortion Ban, Democrats Resume Lecturing People About Compassion

By Stephen Frank on Jan 30, 2018 08:26 pm
OC Political writer Craig Alexander sent this out.  IT IS SATIRE—but when you read it, it makes more sense than Anderson Cooper or Rachel Maddow. “Sometimes satire is very very funny.

After Proposition 47: Crime and No Consequences in California

By Stephen Frank on Jan 30, 2018 08:24 pm
The title says it all—Prop. 47 is about crime and assuring there is no punishment.  Steal something worth under $950 and you might get a ticket, but never have to show up in court.  No worries about cops finding you, they will not even look. “In the event that a perpetrator is pursued and apprehended, […]

By Stephen Frank on Jan 30, 2018 08:20 pm
This is what Socialist Democrats Party House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi thinks of President Trump: ““Let the attention be on his slobbering self,” she said. “If you want to walk out, don’t come in.” She has no respect for President Trump.  These words and the others, i.e. “nose running” “not burping” is outrageous.  The good […]

Lawmaker seeks to introduce bill blocking lead paint ballot measure

By Stephen Frank on Jan 30, 2018 08:18 pm
It is possible that on the November ballot there will be a measure to have the taxpayers finance the cost of getting rid of lead based paint in rooms, on building and equipment.  Why, because the companies currently paying for this want you, the taxpayer to pay the cost—not them. “Earlier this week, Assemblymember Cristina […]

After Janus Decision is Large NLRB Still Needed?

By Stephen Frank on Jan 30, 2018 08:17 pm
In a few months, due to the Janus decision, it is very possible that hundreds of thousands of forced union members will drop their “membership” in the extortionist/blackmailing organizations.  Unions will have a much more difficult time in forcing workers into company unions—especially since they will not be allowed to force workers to pay them […]

The Problem With San Diego’s Business Subsidy Program

By Stephen Frank on Jan 30, 2018 08:06 pm
Whether it is the open fraud of Solyndra under Obama or the well intentioned business subsidies under the city of San Diego, it is not the role of government to pick favorites, winners and losers.  Yet, for years San Diego has had a program to do that, with little or no auditing, monitoring or assessment.  […]
