Four Political Parties in California? Or Do we have JUST ONE?

By Stephen Frank on Sep 21, 2017 08:25 pm
Some argue, as this article does, that there are four political parties in California.  If we are talking about debate societies, they are correct.  The GOP is divided into those that stand for election and those that stand for principle.  Chad Mayes stands for election, few principles.  Sen. John Moorlach stands for principle.  In the […]

Sand: The best defense is to be offensive

By Stephen Frank on Sep 21, 2017 08:22 pm
You know when your opponent is losing the debate, they get desperate, make irrational, illogical and factually incorrect statements.  They get shrill in their approach to the subject and try to make you feel the world will come to an end if they do not get their way.  This is the time for proponents of […]

By Stephen Frank on Sep 21, 2017 08:20 pm
The talk is clear at CalPERS headquarters.  How do we cut the benefits promised government retirees.  In city after city, using technicalities this bankrupt agency is cutting retirement paychecks.  They are doubling the mandatory contributions, forcing cities into bankruptcies, cutting cops and other basic services.  Now the cities are begging for relief—before they all collapse, […]

It’s time for liberal Californians to take a chill pill

Has the Sanders vs, Clinton fight, the Mensheviks vs. Bolsheviks fight in Sacramento gotten out of hand?  Why be subtle about this—that is the fight in Sacramento, who can tax more, kill more jobs, use schools better as indoctrination centers—and assure chaos and violence in the streets. Dan Walters says it best, “Becerra sued to […]

Prop. 14 Allows All of Sacramento to Act Like Democrats

By Stephen Frank on Sep 21, 2017 08:15 pm
For those that prefer a ONE PARTY SYSTEM, Prop. 14 gives them what they want.  GOP registration has tanked, Democrats have a supermajority in the legislature, all statewide offices are held by Democrats, 24 legislative seats in 2016 were contested in the November elections by Democrats—no Republicans allowed.  This is nirvana for the unions, the […]
