Colman: THE ELITISTS

By Stephen Frank on Aug 22, 2018 09:18 pm
In 1968 Nixon won for President with the votes of the Silent Majority. In 1980 Reagan won for President with the votes of the Moral Majority. In 2016 Trump won for President with the votes of the Angry Majority. All won against the Establishment of the Republican Party. “In recent decades, many Americans have become […]

Renewable fuels mandate is costing Americans billions

By Stephen Frank on Aug 22, 2018 09:15 pm
Government prefers you broke and dependent on them, not yourself.  One way to create the dependency is to make sure you do not have the money to spend on yourself.  Instead high taxes, high rent caused by government actions, high water costs, caused by government controlling water—and now government mandating only the use of expensive […]

Jane Fonda Needs an Economics Workout

By Stephen Frank on Aug 22, 2018 09:13 pm
Jane Fonda caused Americans to be killed in Viet Nam and she did not and does not care.  She caused dozens of POW’s, including John McCain to be tortured—and she did not and does not care.  Now she wants YOU unemployed, especially if you are a young person or a person without skills—or a person […]

Walters: Is maturity finally taking root in Capitol?

By Stephen Frank on Aug 22, 2018 09:10 pm
I like Dan Walters.  He is honest, not subtle and willing to call out Republicans and Democrats.  He is an equal opportunity critical thinker.  His concern is good government that is transparent.  Sadly, that is not Sacramento, so he has a lot to write about.  For some reason the smiles in Sacto these days have […]

California Used Loopholes To Keep Thousands on SNAP From Having to Work

By Stephen Frank on Aug 22, 2018 09:08 pm
California prefers people unemployed and on welfare.  The use of the SNAP program (the old food stamps) is a great example of how Sacramento bureaucrats use the system to keep people on welfare and not work. “This conclusion is based on the response of the U.S. Department of Agriculture to an application to waive SNAP’s […]

Sen Nielsen: Bail Reform Will Make Criminal Justice System Worse, Says Former Chair of Board of Prison Terms

By Stephen Frank on Aug 22, 2018 09:05 pm
Thanks to the Democrats, someone who holds up a liquor store will be booked and then let go—never to be seen again.  No bail, means no punishment, no incentive for a criminal to show up for a hearing or a court case.  Then you have folks with serious crimes, but may be innocent.  They will […]

California Is Updating Its Camping Reservation System After Tons of Complaints

By Stephen Frank on Aug 22, 2018 09:02 pm
The Democrats want Sacramento to control all of your health care—at a cost of $400 billion a year—with our current budget at $202 billion.  These are the same people that cause eight hour waiting periods at the DMV, the worse roads in the nation, failed education and can’t even get a reservation at a State […]

San Fran “Historic laundromat” owner sues city

By Stephen Frank on Aug 22, 2018 08:59 pm
San Fran has a choice—an old laundromat, not historic, or housing for 75 families.  Thanks to the local community, political pressure, the courts, the homeless can wash their clothes, if they have enough quarters, but can not get a place to live.  San Fran wants a laundromat instead of apartments. “In June, Robert Tillman, the […]

Westlake tenants form homeless encampment to protest rent hikes: ‘The prospect of becoming homeless is real’

By Stephen Frank on Aug 22, 2018 08:57 pm
A union for tenants.  Why?  Because they are upset the landlord is raising the rent.  Wrong target.  The strike and fight should be against government which causes the high rents and lack of affordable housing.  Too many rules, regulations, mandates, taxes and the high permit fess add to the cost.  The EIR’s, which can take […]
