By Stephen Frank on Jan 23, 2019 09:51 pm
“For now, SpaceX will be assembling and testing its Starship prototype in Texas rather than California. CBS Los Angeles reports that the rocket company helmed by Elon Musk has canceled a lease with the Port of Los Angeles.  SpaceX was planning to build a new facility to construct its huge new vehicle designed to take […]

Colman: THE THRILL IS GONE

By Stephen Frank on Jan 23, 2019 09:46 pm
I had not thought about it in the terms that Dr. Colman uses, but he is right, the thrill of involvement in public life and public policy is gone.  Watch a comedy show or a TV detective story (which I love) and you will hear racist remarks, anti-Trump comments   The news is one sided on […]

50 Years after Racialized UCLA Gunfight, Diversity Derangement Prevails

By Stephen Frank on Jan 23, 2019 09:43 pm
UCLA is known for riots, violence, bigotry and hatred.  This is not new.  In 1969 I was gassed on the UCLA campus, watching the police stop a riot near the UCLA Library.  I was never gassed in Viet Nam, just as UCLA. “January 17, 2019, will mark 50 years since members of the Black Panther […]

As Boise booms, a city faces the curse of ‘Californication’

By Stephen Frank on Jan 23, 2019 09:41 pm
In Texas one of the biggest selling bumper stickers says, “Don’t Californicate Texas”.  Looks like the people in Boise, Idaho have the same problem—Californians are bringing the worst of California to Idaho, which has a responsible government. “Three years after Crow returned home, becoming a Boise boomerang and starting his own analytics firm, he’s realized […]

Turning Wood Into Electrons: Biomass Facilities Transform Burnt Forests Into Renewable Energy, But Some Argue It’s Not An Eco-Friendly Solution

By Stephen Frank on Jan 23, 2019 09:36 pm
Biomass is a great way to use wood that can not be used for anything else.  It is also a way to clean up the forests and instead of just burning the wood, or turning it into chips, it is a cheap energy source—that is almost unlimited.  Too bad some prefer highly intense forest fires, […]

Newsom Eyes Overhaul of Juvenile Justice in California

By Stephen Frank on Jan 23, 2019 09:34 pm
In the old days law enforcement had the theory of “Getting Straight”, taking juveniles to prisons to see what happens if they live a life of crime.  Now the politicians want to assure juveniles that commit crimes are not punished—but cuddled—it was their parents, society, the air they breathe that cause them to be criminals. […]

Supreme Court Takes 1st Gun Case In Nearly A Decade, Possibly With Big Consequences

By Stephen Frank on Jan 23, 2019 09:31 pm
The Supreme Court will, by June, issue a decision on the ability of New York City stopping people with legal guns leaving the city.  This is a major issue.  If New York wins the case, watch Sacramento to do the same. “The court granted a right-to-carry case out of New York that that pits the […]

Maxine Waters’ Extreme Agenda

By Stephen Frank on Jan 23, 2019 09:30 pm
Maxine Waters is a radical.  She is a quote machine, for the hate America and freedom crowd “Waters has it in for banks. She blames them for the two million loans to low-income borrowers that went sour more than a decade ago, causing widespread foreclosures and the 2008 financial meltdown. “I have not forgotten,” she […]

Angry Parents Say Small Gains Did Not Justify Strike, While Move To Limit Parent Choices Harms Kids

By Stephen Frank on Jan 23, 2019 09:27 pm
What did the kids of LAUSD get?  Six days without a class, teachers that harassed parents that sent their children to school, a guarantee of bankruptcy of the District and the fact that the County Board of Education has control of the finances of LAUSD.  The big news is that the agreement forces the school […]

Kamala Harris Helped Secure Federal Funding for California’s Disastrous High Speed Rail Project

By Stephen Frank on Jan 23, 2019 09:21 pm
If you want to waste money, Kamala Harris is the Senator to do it for you.  As you know the High Speed Rail folks want to spend $100 billion—not a typo—to build the slow train to nowhere, from Gilroy to Palmdale.  No riders, but lots of money.  Harris is sure she can get money for […]
