By Stephen Frank on Jan 26, 2018 09:05 pm

By Stephen Frank on Jan 26, 2018 08:46 pm

Walters: Commentary: Feinstein feels the heat on immigrant protection

By Stephen Frank on Jan 26, 2018 08:42 pm
Poor Dianne Feinstein.  For years she has tried to provide a “moderate “ in the Senate—though her voting record makes Bernie Sanders proud.  Now she is forced to vote to shut down the government—after claiming such a shutdown would kill people.  She has been outed as a defender of Fake News, since her 2013 amendment […]

Drive Begins to Halt Early Release of Violent Inmates & Address Public Safety Threats

By Stephen Frank on Jan 26, 2018 08:27 pm
  Thanks to the professional fondler and amateur Governor, Arnold, and the old and confused Guv Brown, with unions financing ballot measures to keep hardened criminals on the streets instead of in prison, California has a crime wave.  Of course, the political police chiefs have been caught lying when they say crime is down.  In […]
