NY Times Goes After California Vineyards—TO CLOSE THEM TO SAVE THE EARTH

By Stephen Frank on May 06, 2019 09:32 pm
They came after alcohol, tobacco, plastic straws, and plastic utensils.  They came after free speech.  They came after the Constitution and they abused government agencies to come after the President of the United States.  What is next?  An attack on the rich, famous and Leftist. “Wine drinkers contribute to climate change when they don’t do […]

Trump Stops Unions From STEALING From MediCaid Patient Caregivers

By Stephen Frank on May 06, 2019 09:30 pm
This is as sick as it comes.  In many States, unions steal from the paychecks of caregivers for those using MediCaid.  Worse, this is done with the support, cooperation and approval of State governments—owned by the unions.  The unions steal “dues” from people who never joined their extortionist operation.  No need for blackmail—government steaks the […]

High-speed rail report leaves question marks on money, land for maintenance facility

By Stephen Frank on May 06, 2019 09:24 pm
We all know the high speed rail is dead.  The crooks gave the money to the special interests, the unions, the attorney and left a wake of poverty and slums in their midst.  There is no way it can be built—and if built no riders for the $200 billion scam.  So, what is going to […]

Bray: Bernie published a book and released his taxes–Crony Capitalist, NOT a Socialist

By Stephen Frank on May 06, 2019 09:20 pm
We know that Bernie is not a Socialist, he is a greedy, crony capitalist—spewing the Leftist line, while amassing a fortune, and giving nothing back to the community. “Mr. Sanders was elected to Congress in 1990 and became a Senator in in 2007; as Senator his annual income is $174,000 (median household income in Vermont […]

By Stephen Frank on May 06, 2019 09:14 pm

Poll: Bay Area voters support tax measures for affordable housing

By Stephen Frank on May 06, 2019 09:11 pm
Why are people fleeing the Bay Area?  Because they can no longer afford the growing tax burden.  They understand it will get worse, rather than better.  They leave now with some equity in their homes and on their own terms, having found jobs in other States.  But, if they wait, they know the economy will […]
