Frank Editorial: California Republican Party: The Incredibly Shrinking Party

By Stephen Frank on Feb 27, 2017 10:04 pm
The 2018 elections are sixteen months from now.  In politics that is a very short time.  Yet, there are no significant Republican candidates for Governor, U.S. Senator, other state wide races—and many legislative races.  In 2016 there were 28 legislative seats and the Senate race, with only one Party on the ballot.  And, 16 legislative […]

Eber: Hollywood drinking too much of their Kool-Aid?

By Stephen Frank on Feb 27, 2017 09:41 pm
Somewhat obtuse contributor Rich Eber to the California Political News & Views column pertaining to “progressive” Hollywood’s strangulation of free speech was penned well before the Academy Awards ceremony last Sunday. All that remained for him to do was to collect negative statements made about Donald Trump uttered by celebrities at the festive gala.  As […]

BART Board Weighs Deficit Solutions as Ridership and Revenue Sink

By Stephen Frank on Feb 27, 2017 09:38 pm
We already know that BART is corrupt.  They set up a $3.5 billion bond (including interest it is $7 billion).  Instead of capital expenditures at least $1.2 billion can be shifted—and a lot of the rest can be used to finance the deficit.  Now we find out the real reason for the problem—low ridership and […]

AB 943 Would Stymie Local Slow-Growth Measures–Gives State the Power

By Stephen Frank on Feb 27, 2017 09:33 pm
It is always amazing to see how union people try to protect their people.  Democrats are basically no-growthers, they use the environment as cause not to build housing or commercial property—and prefer land be controlled by government not private firms or individuals.  Assemblyman Miguel Santiago was the candidate of the unions.  See here.  Now he […]

Editorial: Legislature should reverse BART’s deceit of voters

By Stephen Frank on Feb 27, 2017 09:23 pm
When a major government agency, not tied to a specific city or county openly lies—and gets caught—how do you punish them and who should do the punishing?  Plus, because of the lie, taxpayers have lost billions of dollars—how does that money get returned? “The Bay Area’s critical transit district is being run under a cloud […]

Bethel Church offers $500,000 to prevent police layoffs in Redding

By Stephen Frank on Feb 27, 2017 09:14 pm
Finances in the city of Redding is so bad that a CHURCH is offering the city $500,000 and trying to raise another $740,000, just to prevent police layoffs.  Again, the problem is caused by CalPERS.  City by city you will see an economic disaster as we go through the Spring and watch cities try to […]

Scholarship Applications for Illegal Aliens Down 40% in One Year

By Stephen Frank on Feb 27, 2017 09:09 pm
Great news for honest students and taxpayers.  Also good news for schools on the cusp of needing more space.  Thanks to the new Administration in Washington, many have received the message that until laws are repealed, they will be enforced.  In this case there are 40% fewer applications for scholarships for illegal aliens—nicknamed “dreamers” by […]

Judge Rules San Diego State railroaded accused student by denying him adequate defense

By Stephen Frank on Feb 27, 2017 09:06 pm
California government schools are authoritarian in nature.  If they believe you committed an infraction and bring you up on charges you are guilty—no need for the niceties of a defense, facts, witnesses, attorneys or truth. “San Diego State University violated “procedural fairness” by refusing to let a student accused of rape have an advocate “with […]

New DNC Chair Tom Perez Has Problems W/ Email, Ethics, Racism and Perjury

By Stephen Frank on Feb 27, 2017 09:02 pm
Great news for the Republican Party.  Tom Perez, Obama appointee, Clinton sycophant is the new Democrat Party chair.  He then appointed Keith Ellison as his Deputy—a man who has defended Louis Farrakhan and apologizes for the terrorists—and an open hater of Israel.  Can you imagine them going to a Jewish group asking for money? The […]

Santa Monica: 112 Employees make OVER $250,000—NOT a Typo

By Stephen Frank on Feb 27, 2017 08:58 pm
The city of Santa Monica may be crazy—but it is really rich.  In this town of 90,000 people, 112 city employees received wages and benefits of over $250,000 a year.  The city manager makes $425,000 a year.  The city, next to Berkeley, may be the most Progressive city in the nation—not liberal—authoritarian Leftist.  But they […]
