Kennelly: The Undoing of Our Republic

By Stephen Frank on Mar 17, 2020 08:50 pm
In 1980 I was honored to be a member of the Electoral College from California.  That forced me to learn more about why we have the College and does it matter?  The College allows small States to have a say in the election of a President.  Without it, the Democrats would have won in 2016—plus […]

UC Berkeley study: More money doesn’t close the racial academic achievement gap

By Stephen Frank on Mar 17, 2020 08:47 pm
As expected a study shows that throwing money at government education makes no sense.  No, not a study from conservatives the media can ignore—but it comes from UC Berkeley.  Note they showed that the more money spent, the fewer college prep classes are offered.  This is why folks can not get out of poverty—government policy […]

Democrats Hate the Arts/Music—Kill it Via AB 5

By Stephen Frank on Mar 17, 2020 08:44 pm
The press and Democrats claim conservatives do not like arts or music in the schools or the community.  In fact, Newsom, legislative Democrats have killed the arts and music in California.  The famed Lake Tahoe Music Festival has been cancelled.  The San Jose Jazz Festival might be cancelled—all because artists, musicians and those who work […]

Bond: Bond fatigue and school choice

By Stephen Frank on Mar 17, 2020 08:41 pm
Finally, the people of California have decided not to finance pornography in the classroom, lack of discipline on campus, or spend money on therapy after an attack on schools—because the schools are no gun zones and criminals make our children sitting ducks. “Meanwhile, on the right coast – and in fact a world away – […]

Ring: Government Pensions Are Dividing Americans and Damaging the Economy

By Stephen Frank on Mar 17, 2020 08:38 pm
American does have income inequality.  It is based on pensions—private pensions on one hand, that are not guaranteed and government pensions which are first dollar payments.  Government workers are assured of work, lifetime of health care and a pension better than most private systems.  Even before the coronavirus, CalPERS/CalSTRS were in massive trouble.  Now, the […]

California Governor and Legislators Suspend Procedures and Rules to Pass Emergency $500 M to $1 Billion Coronavirus Funding

By Stephen Frank on Mar 17, 2020 08:35 pm
The good news is that the Legislature is going home till April 13.  Almost no hearings, no voting, they will take a paycheck and quarantine themselves at home.  It is cheaper for them to go home, then stay and tax and spend.  The bad news is that they passed a bill—which almost NO ONE read—who […]

More Warnings of U.S. Dependence on Goods Produced in China, and CalPERS Investments in China’s Military

By Stephen Frank on Mar 17, 2020 08:33 pm
The coronavirus has exposed the pipeline from China to American products.  Whether it is drugs, technology, car parts and much more, we are dependent on the Chinese—a totalitarian nation. Then we have CalPERS which has invested in Chinese Communist MILITARY vendors—to enslave their people and the world.  One good thing to come out of this […]

Welcome to Homeschooling, America!

By Stephen Frank on Mar 17, 2020 08:30 pm
Thanks to the coronavirus, Californians need to think about reforming education.  While other industries have changed in the past 100 years, education today is via textbook, in a brick and mortar facility—with an adult telling us what it all means.  In 2020 we have concerns about pornography being taught as normal in our schools.  Children […]

By Stephen Frank on Mar 17, 2020 08:26 pm
No surprise here—Guv Newsom doubts if any government school will re-open this semester.  Statewide standardized tests?  Out.  Spring Break—will last several months.  No danger of kidding being taught pornography as normal in the classroom, kids will be SAFER from violence and drugs (except in San Fran where the DA allows drug dealers to control street […]
