Sacramento Proposes Tax for Tin Foil Hat Crowd—Sales Tax for “Climate Change”

By Stephen Frank on Dec 02, 2019 08:51 pm
The Politburo in San Fran and L.A. are really upset.  They wished they had dreamed up a tax on something that does not exist, but is based on junk science, debunked studies and scam artists. “A group of city and county politicians is working on a November 2020 ballot measure to increase the local sales […]

Eber: Gavin doesn’t get it

By Stephen Frank on Dec 02, 2019 08:47 pm
Gavin Newsom considers himself a feminist.  So much so he felt no pain in having an affair with his campaign manager’s wife.  He had no problem running for Governor as an opponent of the High Speed Rail.  Then, once elected, supported it.  Now he is pushing gas tax dollars, meant for roads, freeways an streets, […]

U.S. Reports First Month in 70 Years as Net Exporter of Oil

By Stephen Frank on Dec 02, 2019 08:44 pm
Congrats to President Trump.  Instead of Americans forced to buy oil from terrorist nations, nations that support terrorism, we have enough of our own oil—plus some to sell abroad, to help increase our exports and bring foreign money into our nation.  Except in California—thanks to the refusal to allow drilling in California via fracking or […]

State ruling on San Jose-owned land sales may hit other cities harder

By Stephen Frank on Dec 02, 2019 08:38 pm
California has two types of cities, via the State Constitution.  We have cities that must prioritize State law as their law.  Then we have “charter cities” which are allowed to create their own rules and laws.  Or so we thought.  San Jose just found out that while it is a charter city and set rules […]

John Kerry New Legacy: Wearing a Tin Foil Hat

By Stephen Frank on Dec 02, 2019 08:34 pm
John Kerry is still angry that people asked him about his military service.  He is angry that his entitlement to be President was turned down by the American people.  Kerry is upset that his upper class Boston/Harvard attitude has been declined by America.  Now he has decided to get richer than he already is—he is […]

Under “Progressive” Policing, Transit Crime Surges in NYC, SF

By Stephen Frank on Dec 02, 2019 08:25 pm
Some people visit NYC or San Fran for the great food, the history and the sights, wonderful theater and a vibrant city.  If you want to witness crime—or be a victim—just use government transportation.  Crime is rampant, with the police in both cities held back from enforcing the laws.  New York is run by Comrade […]

SF rents broke record highs all year

By Stephen Frank on Dec 02, 2019 08:21 pm
Great news—for Texas.  The rents in San Fran were the highest in history last year.  And THIS year.  As almost half the residents admit in a poll they are looking at leaving within five years, the high cost of rent may push the date to early 2020! “Of all the tough years to rent in […]

Good news, bad news about California: Jon Coupal

By Stephen Frank on Dec 02, 2019 08:17 pm
Guv Newsom made it clear on October 5, 2019 in the Sacramento Be when he announced his 2020-21 budget will be based on California being in a recession.  We all know people preparing to leave California—productive people, families—and businesses, big businesses like Schwab leaving San Fran. “Yet despite all this good news, California still feels […]

Can an unfinished but ‘usable’ basement space be taxed? Berkeley says ‘yes’ and the courts have agreed

By Stephen Frank on Dec 02, 2019 08:14 pm
Government needs money anyway it can get it.  In Berkeley, it always needs money since this is a town in poverty—economically, ethically and morally.  So, why not tax unfinished basements as if they were a completed bonus room? “The property owners — it’s hard to know how many, but at least several — question the […]

Is California a ‘Permanently Blue’ State?

By Stephen Frank on Dec 02, 2019 08:11 pm
Yesterday Dan Walters asked the question is the California Republican Party in decline?  The answer of course is yes.  In the November, 2018 election 41 legislative seats, out of 153, did not have a Republican on the ballot—for the second straight election, no Republican was on the ballot for U.S. Senate.  Voter registration is down […]
