Jay Leno “Fired” Because Jokes about Obama Were True?

By Stephen Frank on May 23, 2014 09:47 pm
A good friend sent me an email with this “story” that maybe Jay Leno was fired because his jokes were too close to the truth. For many years Leno told jokes knocking all politicians. Over the past couple of years Obama made himself a great target for comedians, but only Leno was willing to tell […]

Government Forces People Onto Public Transportation—Then Raises the Cost

By Stephen Frank on May 23, 2014 09:44 pm
In Los Angeles the potholes are the size of fish ponds. Due to bike riders and buses it can take 20-30 minutes in rush hour to go two miles on a main street. The people have put themselves deeply in bonded debt to pay for the busses and the subway system (yes a subway in […]

Texas Guv Perry Goes to Belly of the Beast: San Fran to Promote Oil, Gas and Coal

By Stephen Frank on May 23, 2014 09:40 pm
Texas Gov. Rick Perry is doing what California Republican politicians seem to refuse to do—tell the truth about oil, coal and gas to the Luddites and Elites of San Fran. On June 11 he will be speaking to those that love high taxes, bad laws and refuse to allow many businesses, like Wal Mart, to […]

California Dems Not-So-Universal Preschool Plan –But Will Grow

By Stephen Frank on May 23, 2014 09:36 pm
In politics there are no coincidences. You see one piece of legislation and you wonder why, in a straight line, on the “merits” of the issue. Then you see another piece of legislation and you finally get the whole story. For instance last week the California Political News and Views did a story about the […]

Brown CalSTR’s Fix—Harms Schools/Students—Exposes Real Purpose of Prop. 30 Billions

By Stephen Frank on May 23, 2014 09:32 pm
We were told that we must pass Prop. 30–$6 billion a year in new taxes for seven years—for “the children”. Now we know, for sure, that was a lie. The reason Guv Brown wanted to stick his hand deeper in your pockets is to keep the CalSTRS system from collapsing on his watch. Most of […]

VA Hospitals: Single Payer Disaster

By Stephen Frank on May 23, 2014 09:29 pm
What does a single payer system look like? It looks like England, where the medical profession allows patients to die without water or food—and do not tell the families they are doing this. It is the English system where patients wait years for surgery—many dying prior to the procedure. Now we know the Veterans Administration […]

SB1188: could expand product litigation—payoff for attorneys donations?

By Stephen Frank on May 23, 2014 09:27 pm
One of the largest special interest groups in California are the attorneys. They donate large amounts of money. Could that be why the former Golden State is a lawyers heaven? Big payouts, easy to sue rules, laws written by the attorneys lobby. Another reason businesses leave California, the legislature has put honest firms under the […]

Jan. 1, 2015 Gas Goes Up 15 Cents a Gallon—Thanks to AB 32

By Stephen Frank on May 23, 2014 09:23 pm
Why is California in a Depression? AB 32 promoted by the amateur Governor Arnold and his buddy Fabian Nunez, have pushed jobs and companies out of California. It has stopped development and raised the price of construction and maintaining facilities. It is costly, with no appreciable benefit, except to the attorneys that sue to close […]

California: Taking a Back Seat to Texas

By Stephen Frank on May 23, 2014 09:20 pm
Comparing California to Texas is not a fair comparison. Texas has better schools, lower taxes, and better business climate, loves jobs and creates a family atmosphere. It is a State with low unemployment and a growing economy. More homes were built last year in Houston than in the whole State of California. “The Toyota decision […]

New York Schools Declare 4 ft.1/66lb girl OVERWEIGHT

By Stephen Frank on May 23, 2014 09:17 pm
Why do we have kids with eating disorders? Maybe it is because Michelle Obama is running around the country (in jet planes) telling kids they are fat, lazy and eat the “wrong” food. Or maybe because Washington has a program and too many local government school district use it. The program is run as if […]
