Steinberg: President Trump’s Pardon of Pat Nolan — A Great Moment for Criminal Justice Reform

By Stephen Frank on May 16, 2019 09:13 pm
I have known Pat Nolan since the 1960’s.  He was a true conservative and a loyal USC Trojan.  At one point of his college career he was the Trojan rider on the USC horse at football games.  Then he went to the Assembly.  Then Democrats wanted to find Republican scapegoats and create an abuse of […]

State Senator Shannon Grove has found an answer to the tax dollars being used for the high speed rail scam—use the money for our water needs. “England has Stonehenge and California has the Railhenge.

By Stephen Frank on May 16, 2019 09:03 pm
Great news for teachers.  Bad news for students, taxpayers and the community.  San Jose, in an effort to kick out the middle class has taken another step in that direction.  Instead of using education assets fo education, they are going to use it for affordable housing for teachers.  Soon, expect the cops, firefighters and city […]

AFL-CIO: Workers Should Take Over Businesses—Echoing Marx—Karl, not Groucho

By Stephen Frank on May 16, 2019 08:55 pm
Lets get real.  The AFL-CIO is upset they got caught promoting revolution and communist style tactics—like the Labor movement of the 1940’s and 50’s.  The old line totalitarians are back in business and workers are paying dues to promote higher taxes, Democrats that hate the Second Amendment and Israel.  Workers dues are financing lobbying against […]

Del Beccaro: 2020 Democratic hopefuls would bring socialism into view

By Stephen Frank on May 16, 2019 08:43 pm
Many of us think that the Democrat Party has become Socialist.  With Sanders, Warren, AOC, Pelosi and others leading the Party it is not surprising.  Actually, to be fair, Sanders is not a Socialist—he is a Marxist.  Now he will have competition for the Marxist Democrat vote, NY Mayor Di Blasio has entered the race […]

Could Bakersfield become a California boom town?

By Stephen Frank on May 16, 2019 08:37 pm
Bakersfield has some of the best restaurants and nicest people in the State.  Down home friendly.  It is not an urban center, nor is it geographically central, like Fresno.  Now, we see the city is about to have a growth spurt—businesses, housing and families.  For California it is still affordable.  And, it is a large […]

By Stephen Frank on May 16, 2019 08:31 pm
Government, by definition is mismanaged, incompetent and/or corrupt.  Usually it is all three.  Dan Walters is pointing out a loopholes that allows for corruption.   A Democrat from Orange County wants to ALLOW a conflict of interest in contractors for government, city or State.  In others words watch the bribes fly. “AB 626, carried by Assemblywoman […]

Student gov: Conservative group ‘has the potential to cause harm’

By Stephen Frank on May 16, 2019 08:27 pm
Santa Clara University has made it official.  Free speech can cause harm.  Since they believe that why do they teach at all?  What are the classes like if free speech is a trigger for radicals to cower in the corner and snowflakes to melt in plain sight?  Imagine allowing students to hear about the Constitution […]
