Coronavirus SAVES Bay Area Taxpayers $200 Billion in Scam Transit Proposal

By Stephen Frank on Mar 18, 2020 09:18 pm
We know that the corona virus is going to cost the Federal government upwards of two trillion dollars.  But, in the Bat Area, it has saved those taxpayers $200 billion (principal plus interest—and cost the unions and scam artists that much money). “A measure, known as FASTER Bay Area, to raise an estimated $100 billion […]

Colman: PARADISE LOST?

By Stephen Frank on Mar 18, 2020 09:15 pm
Let’s be honest.  These are very depressing times.  You hear that one million, two million, four million people will die in the United States.  Then you hear that within a month we will have a 20% unemployment rate—that is called a Depression.  Education has come to a standstill.  We have closed the border between the […]

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

By Stephen Frank on Mar 18, 2020 09:11 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 […]

San Diego City Council Passes Useless Climate Resolution

By Stephen Frank on Mar 18, 2020 08:57 pm
While the nation is concerned about a real danger, the coronavirus, San Diego run by the Socialist GOP Mayor Kevin Faulconer, passes a resolution declaring a “climate” emergency”.  In fact it is not a climate problem, it is a mental illness emergency—among the members of the San Diego City Council.  People are quarantined, kids can’t […]

Final Recall Drive Against Gov. Newsom Quietly Dies, 1.2 Million Signatures Short

By Stephen Frank on Mar 18, 2020 08:54 pm
While the Recall of Newsom failed, it did get almost 300,000 valid signatures.  Considering the effort had no money, this was an excellent start.  On February 13, the same folks refiled the Recall.  Sadly, for several weeks there can be no signature gathering due to the quarantine. “Cruz, like Veltmeyer a recurring GOP candidate for […]

Fresno State cancels all commencement ceremonies

By Stephen Frank on Mar 18, 2020 08:50 pm
You can take the graduation of your elementary school child and college graduate off the schedule—in California and most of the nation they have been or will be cancelled.  Relatives won’t be flying in from the East Coast to see their nephew graduate from UCLA or the local high school. “Fresno State announced Tuesday that […]

California close to securing 2 large hospitals, wants more Medi-Cal telemedicine

By Stephen Frank on Mar 18, 2020 08:47 pm
Thanks to the virus, education is being changed—from brick and mortar to online, Internet and homeschooling.  Due to the virus more firms realize that a lot of their work can be done by telecommuting. No need to fill up the freeways.  When I had my triple bypass in June of 2017, the follow-up from the […]

California DMV wants fewer tickets for expired tags, licenses because of coronavirus

By Stephen Frank on Mar 18, 2020 08:44 pm
You can get your vehicle tags by going online.  If you do not have a computer, you can use one for free at a local library.  The idea that DMV is telling law enforcement not to enforce the law seems wrong.  Then again. Lots of orders from government Federal, State and local seem wrong. “In […]

DHS Considers Turning Away Asylum-Seekers, Illegal Aliens at Southern Border

By Stephen Frank on Mar 18, 2020 08:40 pm
Why does it take a health care crisis for the Federal government to enforce the laws.  It should be automatic that illegal aliens are turned away at the border.  If someone from El Salvador wants asylum, let them ask Mexico, not the United States.  If they are asking us, that shows they are not serious.

We’re All Homeschoolers Now

By Stephen Frank on Mar 18, 2020 08:38 pm
Your kids will not be forced to attend classes where pornography is made to be the norm.  They will not, for several months, be told by unionized teachers that President Trump is a Russian asset, a racist and hates women.  Nor will the kids live in fear being in a classroom where people with guns […]
