Another local newspaper is dead. The Martinez News-Gazette is finally giving up the ghost. One of the six remaining employees is among those losing her job—she is 93 years old. “First established in 1858, just eight years after California became a state, the paper will print its final issue on Sunday, Dec. 29, ending a 161-year […]

I used to think that the word “woke” meant just getting up from sleeping. Now I know it is an ideological term. Words we thought we knew have new meanings, even if spelled the same. Dr. Roger Canfield has created a glossary of terms for the tin foil hat crowd—the AOC Green Dream folks—commonly known […]

Do you think government should be able to act without approval or permission of the people? That is how the old Soviet Union worked—now SC 1 to be heard in January in Sacramento will take the soviet method for housing. “SCA 1, authored by Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) and Senator Ben Allen (D-Redondo Beach) […]

San Fran is divided. Sen. Scott Weiner wants to take away the right on your city to zone or permit for housing. He wants all housing to be developed ONLY around government transit systems. That would make California look like Manhattan. But, the transit folks in San Fran understand the corruption of government. Just because […]

The goal of government education is indoctrination, not education. LAUSD gives out diploma’s to students with a “D” average—and other students with made up “credits” to qualify. An LAUSD diploma is indicative of nothing—should not be used for college entrance or getting a job, other than filling taco shells. Now the politicians, in a cabal […]

This is why government should not be given any more money. Like a kid in a candy shop, they over indulge—if they have it, they spend it. “Then, there was more than $33 million on textbooks for students in Afghanistan. Additionally, $1,200,000 was spent on studying habits of online dating app users. Then, there’s a […]

Government is corrupt. Over the past fifty years I have seen corrupt government, politicians and Fake News. Nothing matches the corruption that emanates from Oxnard, in Ventura County. The city council openly uses tax dollars for political purposes, especially to raise taxes and water rates on the people of this mostly Hispanic town. You would […]

The Yosemite Community College District runs Modesto Junior College. What does this “college” teach? In a July memo from Administrators to faculty, students and staff, they wanted government employees to ignore and avoid ICE—in doing so, protect lawbreakers, people who have violated our Federal immigration laws. In fact, it is a Federal felony. The sad […]

In government, you need to learn the meaning of just one word: fungible. That means if you tax for one thing, you can spend the money anyway you want. If a government agency gives another government agency money for a specific project that is just a hope and guideline—they can spend the money anyway they […]

I have already told my wife my next car is a self driving electric vehicle. One item stands in the way. When I buy gas for my Prius, I know how much it will cost to fill up, approximately. I certainly know the price per gallon. But folks charging their electric vehicles have no idea […]
