Mollie Tibbetts Died for the Sins and Hate of Pelosi, Schumer and the Democrat Party

By Stephen Frank on Aug 23, 2018 10:05 pm
San Fran Nan wanted the confessed murderer of Mollie Tibbetts protected from deportation.  Jerry Brown, Dianne Feinstein and Kamala Harris cried to protect the murderer of Kate Steinle.  These young women, and many more died, so the Democrats can buy a few votes—and the backs and deaths of decent Americans. “I’ll give you a quick […]

Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke Says California Fires ‘Have Nothing to Do With Climate Change.’ He’s Wrong?

By Stephen Frank on Aug 23, 2018 10:02 pm
Junk science did not cause the intensity of the recent Northern California fires—government policy keeping dead trees and brush in place did.  Now, those responsible for this failed and destructive policy are trying to use junk science and the lack of government control over the economy as the reason for the fire.  Most of the […]

California Sticks Its Schoolkids’ Futures in a Vise

By Stephen Frank on Aug 23, 2018 10:00 pm
Thanks to CalSTRS and its mismanagement, the children of the future will be paying off the debt, in lack of quality education, lack of superb facilities and a major lack of technology.  LAUSD spends $16,000 per year on each child—over $2300 a year just to pensions. “Why? Because The Squeeze is a torture machine with […]

Greenhut: Don’t believe the hysteria: There are other ways for public workers to get benefits

By Stephen Frank on Aug 23, 2018 09:58 pm
Just because unions no longer have the right to steal from the paychecks of government workers, does not mean that the workers will not get benefits or raises. “For starters, public employees of all types and categories already have far better job protections and compensation packages than people working in the private sector. Virtually all […]

The Mayor of St. Helena is right—CalPERS is going to be big financial trouble for the city.

By Stephen Frank on Aug 23, 2018 09:53 pm

The Green Economy: Is California’s bid to lead the world on climate solutions paying off at home?

By Stephen Frank on Aug 23, 2018 09:48 pm
Has the Schwarzenegger/media/Democrat demand for policies’ based on junk science worked?  We do not know if we got any new jobs—after we note the jobs lost to other States and businesses closed.  Has it helped our economy?  We will never know because most of the expenditures were non-productive, money spent to stay within the law, […]

Flake Amendment Would Ban Funds for Robot Bartenders

By Stephen Frank on Aug 23, 2018 09:40 pm
I am conflicted on this measure by Sen. Flake of Arizona.  Technology has to take over as many menial jobs as possible—since Flake and others promote minimum wage laws, laws that mandate unaffordable benefits and courts create work rules too expensive for many businesses.  Robots are needed, to keep businesses open. Then you have the […]

Antonucci: LA superintendent tries to throw monkey wrench in union’s plans

By Stephen Frank on Aug 23, 2018 09:33 pm
The Superintendent of the LAUSD does not want a strike of the teachers.  The parents and students do not want a strike.  The union that is failing due to the Janus decision needs to show it is still powerful.  To do so, they want to close down education in Los Angeles until the District gives […]

Starting over: Prisoners face uncertain future after release under state’s realignment law

By Stephen Frank on Aug 23, 2018 09:30 pm
You really need a good cry after reading about the problems facing “Dennis” as he prepares to leave prison.  According to the article he is in jail because of a “non violent” crime.  Under our new laws, the rape of a women under the influence of drugs or drink is a non violent crime—is he […]

Disney Wants to Cancel Its Anaheim Tax Subsidies, Calling Them “Divisive”

By Stephen Frank on Aug 23, 2018 09:22 pm
Here is the trade off the Disney people have made.  Instead of a $267 million tax rebates to build a new hotel in Anaheim, the people of Anaheim do not force them to pay $18 an hour for jobs worth $10 an hour, at best.  Yet, it should be noted that a multi-billion corporation like […]
