HEARD ON THE TOM/TOM’S

By Stephen Frank on Apr 15, 2019 02:00 am
Periodically the California Political News and Views will publish tidbits of political news, to keep you in the loop of what the pooh bahs know.  The phrase “tom/tom’s” comes from my mentor, Lorelei Kinder who never passed a rumor, just called to tell me what she heard on the “tom/tom’s”.  This column is named in […]

‘Job killer’ bills may be more difficult to kill

By Stephen Frank on Apr 15, 2019 01:00 am
Thanks to the destruction of the Republican Party during the 2018 election—lost seven congressional seats, five assembly seats and three State Senate seats—after SIX years of no voter registration and its policy of OPPOSING Republicans being nominated by Republicans, the Democrats have absolute control of Sacramento and legislation.  They no longer have to compromise or […]

California may ban hotels from giving guests tiny bottles of shampoo, conditioner, lotion

By Stephen Frank on Apr 15, 2019 01:00 am
They are taking away our water. Government is taking away Styrofoam cups and plastic straws.  Now they are going to take away the free little plastic bottles of shampoo, conditioner and body lotion/body gel from hotel and motel rooms.  In their place, they will have communal shampoo, etc.  No idea if someone messed with them, […]

California wildfires are burning down public utilities

By Stephen Frank on Apr 15, 2019 01:00 am
The Federal government and Sacramento have had a policy for decades—allow the forests to over grow.  Do not clean them up.  Do, not prevent the community.  Do not allow anything that can be done to lower the intensity of forest fires, once started.  Now, thanks to such policies PG&E—by following the law, may go bankrupt.  […]

Government Buses in San Jose: Sleep Location for Homeless — Feel Safe?

By Stephen Frank on Apr 15, 2019 01:00 am
We all know that government buses have had a massive decline in ridership.  They are unreliable, expensive to the community and now we find out the buses are actually shelter and sleeping spaces for the homeless.  Who wants to take a ride to work among the sleeping homeless on the bus?  While this article deals […]

California State Legislators Abandon Ban on ‘Big Gulp’-Style Sodas — for Now

By Stephen Frank on Apr 15, 2019 01:00 am
Great news for cheap soda drinkers — the Big Gulp will be with us for a while longer.  The silliness of the Democrats has finally caught up with them.  Please explain why the size of the drink matters?  Full disclosure:  I usually buy a 32 ounce drink at the AM-PM — since it is only […]

BAIL BOND PRESERVATION LOOKS LIKE A WINNER

By Stephen Frank on Apr 15, 2019 01:00 am
You know a ballot measure is really bad if both the law enforcement community AND the ACLU think the ballot measure should be defeated.  The idea of getting rid of cash bail sounds nice, but in reality makes the community unsafe and those not “qualifying” based on an algorithm, to stay in jail for months […]

By Stephen Frank on Apr 15, 2019 01:00 am
Paul Ehrlich made a mint of money by predicting famine and wards over food by the year 2000.  Millions of Africans died of malaria because the greedy Rachel Carson using junk science to end the use of DDT to prevent malaria.  Now we are told the oceans will die in 2050 if we do not […]

Bay Area Has 3rd-Largest Homeless Population in Country; Nearly 70% Have No Shelter

By Stephen Frank on Apr 15, 2019 01:00 am
Are you confused? I am. The richest area in the whole nation, the Bay Area, is also the home to the third largest homeless population.  You would think the Progressives and Socialists running the region for TWO generations would have solved the program.  It is not about money — this region also has the highest […]

California Teachers Union’s ‘Intent to Cripple California’s Charter Schools’

By Stephen Frank on Apr 15, 2019 01:00 am
Failed companies have three ways to move forward.  First, they can admit they are failures and close down.  Or, second, they can admit they are failures and fix the problem.  Or third, the failed companies can use government to close down their competitors that are successful, leaving only the failed company for the consumer.  In […]
