Is California one of the least generous states in the U.S.? YUP

By Stephen Frank on Dec 09, 2019 08:35 pm
California is the eighth least charitable State in the Union.  That should be no surprise.  We have 12 million people in poverty by government standards.  The rest of us need to pay high taxes, high housing costs, spend extra time on streets and freeways, we are trying to get our kids through failed government schools—and […]

By Stephen Frank on Dec 09, 2019 08:30 pm
On the March 3, 2020 ballot will be a $27 billion education bond (principal plus interest).  On the November, 2020 ballot there is a amendment to Prop. 13—costing about $13 billion a year, a direct transfer from business to government.  That is money not used for innovation, research or job creation.  It will also tank […]

Environmental activists urge VTA (San Jose) to shift funds from highway projects to mass transit

By Stephen Frank on Dec 09, 2019 08:25 pm
San Jose is making it clear—cars are not wanted.  They want money meant to fix roads and streets, to make it safer to drive around town to be used for money losing government transportation and dangerous bike riding. “The group — including many local high school students — asked the board to commit to a […]

Rider: Minor “food stamp” reform draws apoplectic responses from welfare pimps

By Stephen Frank on Dec 09, 2019 08:22 pm
Contrary to the lies of AOC and the Democrats, food stamps will continue to go to over 34 MILLION people.  But, there are 700,000 SINGLE people under the age of 49 that will be forced to WORK if they want to get food stamps.  Imagine, the taxpayers want something for their money—effort and work. “The […]

Leave California, Keep Paying California Taxes…Really

By Stephen Frank on Dec 09, 2019 08:20 pm
Just because you leave California, does not mean that the State will not try to take your money.  If you stay in the State for nine months in a year, it is PRESUMED you are a resident.  But, it takes 18 months out of the State to presume you are NOT a resident!  What a […]

Chad Mayes left the Republican Party years ago.  For the past three years he has been undermining the Party, denouncing it, shredding President Trump and used the time to endorse candidates for party leadership and public office that believe as he does.  Assemblyman Tyler Diep “Baugh was particularly irritated by Diep’s decision to speak at […]

Oakland Victimizes Residents in Name of Climate Change

By Stephen Frank on Dec 09, 2019 08:14 pm
The jokers running Oakland really think they can save the Earth by making housing more expensive, raising taxes on the poor and making it more expensive to live in the city.  This is not a joke—they think Oakland is the center of the universe—and if they make things worse, using the junk science of climate […]

Battle lines are drawn over oil drilling in California

By Stephen Frank on Dec 09, 2019 08:09 pm
For a generation oil drilling has been a key issue in California campaigns.  Mention offshore drilling and someone will accuse you of trying to poison all of the State.  Discuss fracking and you are accused of trying to sink the State and provide a chemical cloud over our heads.  Nationally, for the first time in […]

Junípero Serra’s name comes off a Stanford Street as priest’s legacy is revisited

By Stephen Frank on Dec 09, 2019 08:06 pm
The  historical revisionism is on the move in California.  The newest victim is Father Junipero Serra.  He brought Catholic theology to California.  He also is accused of mistreating Native Americans.  So, now his name is going to be taken off a street in San Luis Obispo.  As if anyone really cares. “I explained to Monterey […]
