By Stephen Frank on Jul 23, 2018 09:08 pm
This is how the California pension system operates:  They take money from employees today, to pay off the retirees of yesterday.  They tomorrow employees pay to pay off todays workers.  In the legal world, this is called a Ponzi scheme—if we did, we would in the same cell as Bernie Madoff who used this scheme […]

By Stephen Frank on Jul 23, 2018 09:03 pm
On the cheap we could prevent big forest fires.  Inexpensively, we could protect private property and lives, along with animals and pets.  This secret has been known to government for decades—but they prefer to fight big firs and have massive losses than prevent them. “Now Pimlott says that Cal Fire intends to triple the amount […]

California’s public schools earn poor marks

By Stephen Frank on Jul 23, 2018 09:01 pm
To some, sending your child to a government school, like those in LAUSD, is a priori evidence of child abuse.  If not giving your child the government demanded immunization is child abuse, what do you call sending a child into a dangerous government school with druggies, gang members and more? “The primary problem with our […]

UC Berkeley prof: Trump is engaged in ‘textbook treason’

By Stephen Frank on Jul 23, 2018 08:42 pm
Someone needs to be put on a suicide watch on Cal Berkeley Professor M. Steven Fish—he obviously has emotional problems and has no understanding of reality.  He is a physical danger to himself and a mental danger to those he comes in contact with.  The Cal Administration needs to allow him psychiatric help, immediately, before […]

Gavin Who? Media Not Mining for Gold in California

By Stephen Frank on Jul 23, 2018 08:39 pm

Caldwell: Holy Sacramento Sacrilege!

By Stephen Frank on Jul 23, 2018 08:34 pm

By Stephen Frank on Jul 23, 2018 08:16 pm
