Eber: I left part of my heart in San Francisco

By Stephen Frank on Apr 23, 2019 08:54 pm
San Fran has always, it seems to be a very liberal city.  Yet, until the mid 1960’s it had a Republican Mayor, George Christopher.  That was only 50 years ago.  In 1978—just ten years later it became a radical city.  The murder of the Mayor George Moscone and the murder of Supervisor Harvey Milk started […]

California voters could decide to expand rent control in 2020

By Stephen Frank on Apr 23, 2019 08:45 pm
In 2018 the voters of California made it clear—no rent control for the State.  The folks that brought that ballot measure to the voters will do the same in 2020.  I guess they have too much money and instead of helping AIDS victims and prevention, this group is using AIDS as a reason to fund […]

Walters: Why is our ‘achievement gap’ so stubborn?

By Stephen Frank on Apr 23, 2019 08:41 pm
Get real—Sacramento does not want to know about the so-called achievement gap.  If they did they would investigate the results of imposing dumbed down education programs like Common Core.  They would look at the union control of classrooms and schools.  Want to know why achievement is down—for all students, look at the use of campuses […]

If We Cancel Kate Smith, We Must Cancel The New York Yankees

By Stephen Frank on Apr 23, 2019 08:37 pm
The Los Angeles Dodgers are famous for signing Jackie Robinson.  The Giants were famous for signing Willie Mays.  But, before that they were famous for being bigots—refusing to hire black athletes, because they were black.  They even had an open bigot on the team, the Dodgers did, by the name of Pee Wee Reese.  Yet, […]

Census Suit Drives Partisan Wedge at Supreme Court

By Stephen Frank on Apr 23, 2019 08:29 pm
Should the governments of America know how many illegal aliens there are in the nation?  Should communities know the size of the problem, in order to respond to it?  Democrats believe that anyone who can sneak into this country should be counted as if they were citizens.  Republicans just want a break down on the […]

Dog or Human Poop: San Fran is Filled With POOP

By Stephen Frank on Apr 23, 2019 08:27 pm
This is crazy—the city of San Fran says the human feces problem is not so bad, because sometimes dog poop is mistaken for human poop.  But the records of San Fran specifically note which poop is HUMAN. “In 2014, software engineer Jennifer Wong created the site Human Wasteland to record and map feces-related 311 complaints.

Gun tax survives in Sacramento

By Stephen Frank on Apr 23, 2019 08:21 pm
So far, several bills to create a statewide soda tax have failed.  That does not mean at the last minute, just before the legislature adjourns for the year an amendment will not be added to a bill and the tax will be created.  The same can not be said for the anti-Constitution wing of the […]
