End of Baseball: Computers to Call Balls and Strikes

By Stephen Frank on Dec 24, 2019 08:38 pm
When major league baseball took the bat out of the hand of pitchers in the American League, I ended my lifetime affair with baseball.  I loved the game, the tradition, the finesse, the strategy.  But the changes kept coming, none of them helpful to the sport.  Now baseball is about to become the latest victim […]

Colman: THE DEMOCRATS’ LAST CHANCE

By Stephen Frank on Dec 24, 2019 08:35 pm
By the time Trump leaves office on January 20, 2025, he will have appointed about half of all the judges in the United States.  He will have appointed FOUR Supreme Court Justices—Breyer and Ginsburg will barely back it through 2020. Regulations will return to responsible statements—for instance, he is allowing us to return to cheap […]

FISA Judge Orders FBI To Identify All Cases Involving Lawyer Who Allegedly Altered Carter Page Email

By Stephen Frank on Dec 24, 2019 08:33 pm
This is an interesting story—but most readers will not understand HOW important it is.  Read this, “Judge Rosemary Collyer ordered the review Dec. 5, several days before the release of a Justice Department inspector general’s (IG) report that found the FBI made “significant inaccuracies” in applications to surveil Page. The report said a now-former FBI […]

California May Limit Auto Insurers’ Ability to Use Income, Education Level to Set Rates

By Stephen Frank on Dec 24, 2019 08:30 pm
Change is coming in the process and rules California government uses to determine auto insurance rate. “The state Department of Insurance proposed regulations Monday that would prohibit insurance companies from using so-called “affinity groups” to discriminate based on educational attainment or income level, among other factors. The bulk of drivers in the groups already fall […]

ICE moves to quadruple Kern’s immigrant detention beds ahead of state ban

By Stephen Frank on Dec 24, 2019 08:27 pm
In January it will be illegal for ICE to contract with private prison firms for detention centers for illegal aliens.  So, before then, ICE is signing as many long term contracts as possible to house illegal aliens.  Guv Newsom prefers the illegal aliens roam out streets or to be shipped out of State.  If I […]

Eliminating natural gas for electricity carries risks

By Stephen Frank on Dec 24, 2019 08:24 pm
This is all you need to know about the banning of natural gas scam by the tin foil hat crowd: “Pursuing a plan that eliminates a reliable, affordable and comparatively clean source of energy like natural gas will increase energy costs for residents of this state substantially and will hurt businesses that are already struggling […]

Greenhouse Gas Emissions in San Diego Down 24% Over Past Decade

By Stephen Frank on Dec 24, 2019 08:22 pm
Great news?  But key questions have not been answered.  At what cost?  At what REAL benefit?  Is this really due to government policies or the natural effort by business?  Could natural climate be a cause of the decline? “San Diego has cut greenhouse gas emissions by residents, businesses and government by 24 percent over the […]

California’s Approach To Homelessness: That’s Not How This Works

By Stephen Frank on Dec 24, 2019 08:20 pm
The more California hacks spend tax dollars on the “homeless” crisis, the larger the number.  In Los Angeles the problem grew by 33%.  Statewide the problem has grown by 16%.  Could it be that building agencies and hiring high priced employees is not the answer?  Maybe if we looked at what causes homelessness we could […]

Abolish prisons? CA already tried that

By Stephen Frank on Dec 24, 2019 08:17 pm
The Left has a grand design.  You in a home with lots of security devices—but no weapons to protect yourself.  Criminals allowed to steal, assault and make more victims, while out of jail due to no bail being needed.  Due to Arnold and Guv Brown, tens of thousands of bad criminals have been released from […]

Declining L.A. METRO Transit Ridership is No Fluke – It Results from Political Decisions by Public Officials

By Stephen Frank on Dec 24, 2019 08:16 pm
I love it when bureaucrats and ideologues blame process, poor planning or not enough spending for the cause of ridership decline.  Left out is the fact that under Trump people are richer and prefer private transportation to dirty, crime ridden, unstable and unreliable government buses and trains.  Folks like freedom—government transportation allows the State to […]
