Republicans Control House, Barely, and Trump Is In-and-Out By Stephen Frank on Nov 20, 2022 09:24 pm Arnold Steinberg has been one of the nation’s premier pollsters and political strategists.  I have known him for more than 60 years.  He is analytical and unemotional is his assessment of political candidates and situations.  In 1976 he was the strategist that got Bob Dornan elected to Congress, for example.  Now he is an elder […] Read More and Comment: Steinberg: CHAOS! Republicans Control House, Barely, and Trump Is In-and-Out   San Jose pushes electric vehicle use in low-income areas By Stephen Frank on Nov 20, 2022 09:21 pm This has to be the dumbest government program ever.  San Jose is going to build EV charging station in poor and disadvantaged areas of their community.  Why?  Because there are not enough charging stations in skid row and areas of Section 8 housing.  Great.  But why are the charging stations not present?  Because the folks […] Read More and Comment: San Jose pushes electric vehicle use in low-income areas   Pelosi’s Farewell Address: ‘I Stand Before You as…a Devout Catholic’–with a Straight Face! By Stephen Frank on Nov 20, 2022 09:18 pm This has to be a joke—or is Pelosi demented.  My guess is that San Fran Nan has emotional problems, otherwise she would not claim to be a “devout Catholic” while promoting policy and legislation that atheists and religious haters would approve. “In her speech, Pelosi announced that she would not be seeking reelection to the Democratic […] Read More and Comment: Pelosi’s Farewell Address: ‘I Stand Before You as…a Devout Catholic’–with a Straight Face!   Maxine Waters Dodges on Whether Democrats Should Return FTX Donations By Stephen Frank on Nov 20, 2022 09:15 pm In all criminal cases, those that took stolen or embezzled money, must return it.  Maxine Waters is a politician, so she does not think the rules apply to her or others that have taken stolen money. “Waters said that Republicans and Democrats benefitted from FTX donations, saying, “Well, I don’t want to get into that. As a matter […] Read More and Comment: Maxine Waters Dodges on Whether Democrats Should Return FTX Donations   Insanity: Suspect Who Plowed His Car Into a Group of LA Sheriff’s Recruits Is Back on the Streets By Stephen Frank on Nov 20, 2022 09:12 pm The world has gone crazy.  A man was CAUGHT trying to use his vehicle to kill 25 law enforcement officers. “But why are they choosing not to present a case? Experts claim that the Sheriff may not have enough evidence of intent by the suspect. Sure, he did what he did, but can you prove it was […] Read More and Comment: Insanity: Suspect Who Plowed His Car Into a Group of LA Sheriff’s Recruits Is Back on the Streets   Members of Congress demand answers from the Forest Service, following CapRadio/California Newsroom wildfire investigation By Stephen Frank on Nov 20, 2022 09:09 pm On radio the U.S. Forest Service has a Smokey the Bear ad—you know the type, “only you can prevent forest fires”.  A part of the commercial, to prove that point, states, “nine out of ten forest fires are caused by PEOPLE.”  In other words, climate change has little or nothing to do with the fires.  […] Read More and Comment: Members of Congress demand answers from the Forest Service, following CapRadio/California Newsroom wildfire investigation   Gavin Newsom/Sacramento Democrats Put State in Massive Deficit By Stephen Frank on Nov 20, 2022 09:05 pm There are some people that no matter how much money you give them, spend more than the money allotted.  Of course there is also a question if the money the Feds gave for their COVID fraud was spent as Congress wanted.  But the bottom line the only way you go from a $100 billion surplus […] Read More and Comment: Gavin Newsom/Sacramento Democrats Put State in Massive Deficit   Mysteriously Discarded Ballots That Were Found On A Highway Have Been Verified And Most Of Them Will Be Included In The Election Results By Stephen Frank on Nov 20, 2022 09:02 pm There are several races for Congress and the Assembly that are within 1,000 votes.  Yet, we still have hundreds of thousands of dead people, illegal aliens and people in other States getting California ballots.  The government refuses to do an audit to find how many of these mandated absentee ballots were voted.  Yet, the California […] Read More and Comment: Mysteriously Discarded Ballots That Were Found On A Highway Have Been Verified And Most Of Them Will Be Included In The Election Results   California has a home ownership crisis By Stephen Frank on Nov 20, 2022 08:58 pm California is facing several years of budget deficits, in the next year it will be $25 billion—and at least $10 billion a year for several years.  Crime is out of control; homelessness is growing—the more we spend to “solve” the problem” the more people are homeless.  Only the Homeless Industrial Complex is making out like […] Read More and Comment: California has a home ownership crisis   California Governor Set to Release $1B for Homelessness By Janie Har on Nov 20, 2022 07:30 am California Gov. Gavin Newsom agreed to release $1 billion in state homelessness funding he testily put on pause earlier this month, but only if local governments agree to step up the aggressiveness of their plans going forward to reduce the number of unhoused people in the state.

Will the Base Let Them? By Melanie Mason on Nov 19, 2022 07:30 am Forget the scathing editorials from conservative media blaming former President Trump for the GOP’s mediocre midterm. Never mind their underwhelmed reception to his 2024 presidential launch. Disregard the major donors who are bailing this time around. Keith Korsgaden is firmly on board for a Trump reprise. He’s quite sure he’s not alone. “There are 74 […] Read More and Comment: GOP Elites Want to Turn from Trump. Will the Base Let Them?   L.A.
