LAUSD may owe $13.6 billion for health care & pensions — and the strike made things worse.

By Stephen Frank on Feb 04, 2019 10:14 pm
LAUSD is both educationally and financial bankrupt.  It gives 47% of its diploma’s to students with a “D” average—they are functional illiterates.  Thanks to the new union contract, the District will run an $800 million deficit this year—and $500 million next year and every year after this—till it collapses.  Now we find it has a […]

New state law shaking up Bakersfield College remedial offerings

By Stephen Frank on Feb 04, 2019 10:12 pm
Government education is a fraud in California.  By law, students that need remedial classes can not get them.  Hence, they will fail, wasting, time effort and tax dollars. How do they “move faster toward a degree” if they are unable to do math and English?  This is felony stupidity.  And we the taxpayers are financing […]

Wells Fargo Faces $10 Million Penalty in Insurance Scheme

By Stephen Frank on Feb 04, 2019 10:10 pm
One by one cities around the State are leaving Wells Fargo as a recipient bank for government money.  One scandal after the other, billions in fines, abuse of the public and lying to government agencies has caused this once prestigious financial institution to explain its internal corruption, almost on a daily basis.  This time its […]

California Lawmakers Push for Oversight of Delta Tunnels Project

By Stephen Frank on Feb 04, 2019 10:07 pm
I bet you thought that one key role of the Legislature is to be an over site on tax dollars spent and project approved.  Guess again.  Only now are some legislators looking for oversite of a $17-50 billion (the Sacramento hacks actually do not know the full cost of the Delta Tunnel project) project that […]

Walters: Could California pension system be underwater?

By Stephen Frank on Feb 04, 2019 10:05 pm
The Stanford Pension Institute believe CalPERS has over one trillion in unfunded liabilities.  We do know that last year CalPERS was going to earn 7% on its investments.  Instead it lost 3.9%–a difference of 10% that has to be made up with higher mandated contributions and tax dollars, just to keep the doors open. “In […]

Arbuckle is sinking, according to state survey

By Stephen Frank on Feb 04, 2019 10:02 pm
This is something we need to watch.  The Central Valley, especially in the Madera/Fresno area is sinking due to over drafting of ground water.  The rest of the State has a similar problem—and one city, the problem is imminent. “The study, done by the state Department of Water Resources, measures changes in land subsidence in […]

UC-Irvine cites ‘security threat’ to disrupt Dennis Prager event, College Republicans claim

By Stephen Frank on Feb 04, 2019 10:00 pm
All you need to do to shut down free speech is to claim there is a “security” risk to free speech—UC Irvine is the champion of this type of totalitarians tactic. “UCI College Republicans President Kimo Gandall told The College Fix that he received a notice from the administration Thursday, less than a week before […]

Super Bowl-Bound L.A. Rams Are Building the NFL’s Most Expensive Stadium, Without Public Money

By Stephen Frank on Feb 04, 2019 09:57 pm
Who should taxpayers finance hundreds of millions in bonds and tax payments so billionaires can have a stadium? “Sunday evening, the Los Angeles Rams will battle the New England Patriots for National Football League supremacy—and they’ll do in inside a brand new stadium in downtown Atlanta that cost Georgia taxpayers about $600 million to build […]

L.A.’s New Sheriff is Causing Headaches for Reform Advocates

By Stephen Frank on Feb 04, 2019 09:53 pm
Los Angeles Progressives thought they elected a County Sheriff that was on their side and the side of criminals.  Now they are finding out that “Progressive” candidates for office lie—and they deserve what they got. “First, there was L.A. County Sheriff Alex Villanueva’s decision to reinstate a deputy who had been fired from the job […]

Santa Clara Prosecutors Allow Anarchy—Demonstrators Go Wild!

By Stephen Frank on Feb 04, 2019 09:50 pm
In San Jose the government justice system protects the lawbreakers, not the private property rights of the owners.  Instead, like in a totalitarian State, the government allows people to close down businesses, prevent workers from getting to their jobs and abuse the rights of society—by using terrorist tactics.  Sadly, in Santa Clara if you protect […]
