9 Years Into Common Core, Test Scores Are Down, Indoctrination Up

By Stephen Frank on Nov 05, 2018 08:33 pm
I can not hold back—I TOLD YOU SO.  The untested Common Core, pushed by Bill Gates, never tested or piloted in a classroom, the infamous Common Core has lived up to its expectations—failure. “ACT scores released earlier this month show that students’ math achievement is at a 20-year low. The latest English ACT scores are […]

Supreme Court declines to hear appeal of Obama-era net neutrality rules

By Stephen Frank on Nov 05, 2018 08:29 pm
Contrary to the views of the Democrats in Sacramento, net neutrality policy is set by the FCC—so sayeth the Supreme Count.  When Brown signed the bill to set its own internet policy he knew that was illegal—but he loves a lawsuit.  Eventually the California fraud will be in front of the Supreme Court—wasting millions of […]

Walters: State-county conflict could flare up again soon

By Stephen Frank on Nov 05, 2018 08:27 pm
While counties are separate entities, the State of California mandates lots of taxes and regulations.  Then, if a county if “good”, it may get back some money for schools, roads and parks, water is strictly controlled by the State, as is energy and jobs. “The conflicts could be papered over as long as counties controlled […]

San Fran’s undocumented and legal non-citizens have their first chance to vote Tuesday — Here’s why most won’t

By Stephen Frank on Nov 05, 2018 08:23 pm
Today, not for the first time, but for the first time a government has sanctioned it, illegal aliens will be voting in the San Fran election.  Yes, government is promoting illegal voting—that is called vote fraud, a felony. “San Francisco on Tuesday will become the largest U.S. city to allow non-citizens to vote in a […]

California Transit Agencies Resist a Gas Tax Repeal

By Stephen Frank on Nov 05, 2018 08:19 pm
No government transportation system in the State, or nation, receives more than 20% of its operating costs from the farebox.  The other 80% comes from you general taxes and gas taxes.  Money you thought was going to build and fix roads goes instead to the buses and trains of the government—which in California are quickly […]

No large CalPERS exit fee for charter schools

By Stephen Frank on Nov 05, 2018 08:17 pm
Great news—Charter schools, if closed, do not have to finance the incompetent CalPERS. “But for charter schools the old line is literally true. Current law does not allow termination of their CalPERS contract. When a charter school closes, the unpaid pension debt is covered by the large CalPERS pool mainly funded by regular schools. CalPERS […]

Palo Alto May Pad Budget With Highest Tax Rate For Hotel Pad

By Stephen Frank on Nov 05, 2018 08:14 pm
How bad is the pension crisis?  Some cities are raising sales tax and lying about the money going to cops or roads.  In Palo Alto they want to steal from the tourists, since they do not vote in city elections—but forced to finance a mismanaged pension system. “Dinah’s Garden Hotel’s General Manager John Hutar understands […]

State-run retirement savings plan ready to launch

By Stephen Frank on Nov 05, 2018 08:10 pm
The same people that brought a trillion unfunded CalPERS to bankrupt local cities and force tax increases to finance the effort to keeping the doors open, have now opened an effort to bankrupt the rest of us, if we are silly enough to invest our retirement in a government program. “After the pilot and the […]

Walters: Why down-ballot offices are also important

By Stephen Frank on Nov 05, 2018 08:08 pm
Elect Judge Steven Bailey as the Attorney General and you stop voter fraud, frivolous lawsuits against President Trump and a return to law enforcement obeying the law.  Elect Mark Meuser Secretary of State and you end illegal aliens voting, voter fraud and the abuse of  measures being mispresented on the ballot. “The Berkeley IGS Poll […]

Vegas Oddsmaker Predicts GOP Upset–Out on a Limb?

By Stephen Frank on Nov 05, 2018 08:05 pm
Sunday on Fox News, Frank Luntz, the iconic pollster and strategist made a remarkable statement.  He said that the polls this year are not predictive and should be totally ignored.  Remember the 92% on election prediction by Nate Silver that Hillary would win?  Yesterday he claimed it was an 85% chance the Democrats will win […]
