November 2016 Ballot: 41 Legislative Seats W/O a GOP’er—4 Statewide races W/O a GOP’ers

By Stephen Frank on Jun 11, 2018 09:28 pm
In 2016 the November election had 24 legislative seats with only Democrats in the ballot—Assembly, State Senate, Congressional—plus no GOP’er running for U.S. Senate.  There were four races of Republican vs. Republican. 2018 will see 41 legislative seats without a GOP’er on the ballot—an increase of 17. Though the results are not final here is […]

Colman: TAXES AND HOUSING PRICES

By Stephen Frank on Jun 11, 2018 09:23 pm
I am not one for raising taxes or using taxes to achieve government goals.  But, I thought you would be interested in how the Socialists in Canada keep prices high—and make foreigners pay more for a home.  The problem here is that someone in Sacramento will see this and try to do the same—or maybe […]

California considers taking custody of some street people

By Stephen Frank on Jun 11, 2018 09:21 pm
When Ronald Reagan was the Governor of California is begun the process of closing down the State hospital for the mentally ill.  Those folks had no place to go, other than the streets.  That was the start of the increase in prisoners with mental illness and the homeless.  Other factors come into play—but California does […]

Little by little the Democrats are promoting Government Health Care for All—Socialized Medicine

By Stephen Frank on Jun 11, 2018 09:17 pm
The elderly, the poor, the homeless, children—even illegal aliens are in line if the Democrats have their way, to have free health care.  As more get free health care, the system gets over crowded—and the rich can afford private health care and the middle class will be forced to move to other States, to afford […]

My Plan for Building the Perfect California City

By Stephen Frank on Jun 11, 2018 09:12 pm
Joe Matthews has some great ideas on how to build the perfect city in California.  But that is the problem—the city is in California State that nullifies Federal laws, has high taxes, water and energy prices, unaffordable housing and gridlock most of the day—and night. “I certainly know how I wouldn’t start a new city: […]

Self-Driving Cars Can Deliver Huge Safety Gains If We Resist the Urge to Overregulate Them

By Stephen Frank on Jun 11, 2018 09:10 pm
My wife already knows that my next car—after my Prius, will be an autonomous car—self-driving.  I have been waiting a lifetime for this—a car that does the work instead of me.  But, like everything else, government has a way of harming the public in the name of protecting us. “A recent National Academy of Sciences […]

Walters: Welfare for the Rich Hollywood Billionaires—The Middle Class Pays

By Stephen Frank on Jun 11, 2018 09:09 pm
The billionaires and multi-millionaires of Hollywood hate Trump—for protecting Americans and allowing workers to keep more of what they earn.  Why?  Because the less government has to spend, the less government can give the rich your tax dollars. “While California’s liberal Democratic politicians often decry corporate tax loopholes, they are making a very pointed exception […]

United Teachers Los Angeles wants respect … and money

By Stephen Frank on Jun 11, 2018 09:07 pm
As we note in another article, LAUSD is financially and morally bankrupt.  That does not stop the United Teachers of Los Angeles (UTLA—the union that gets LAUSD to take money from teachers paychecks without permission) to demand higher wages and benefits.  They claim this bankrupt district has the money.  The news of course in that […]

Would Public Employees Really Lose Income After Janus Ruling?

By Stephen Frank on Jun 11, 2018 09:05 pm
Unions are claiming that if they are not allowed to extort money from teacher’s paychecks, the teachers will lose wages and benefits—by $4.4 billion a year.  Not one single school district in the State is discussing cutting wages and benefits.  The unions believe the teachers think it is October 31, not a day in June.  […]

Why L.A. Unified may face financial crisis even with a giant surplus this year

By Stephen Frank on Jun 11, 2018 09:03 pm
LAUSD is educational and morally bankrupt.  A very low real graduation rate—before they arbitrarily add credits just to give a diploma.  It is morally bankrupt when it allows bullies, druggies and the gangsters to stay in school to threaten teachers and students.  Feel safe in an LAUSD classroom?  Be serious, all students know they are […]
