U.S. Senate Candidate Tom Del Beccaro Takes Taxpayer Protection Pledge—Why Not the Others?

By Stephen Frank on Sep 16, 2015 08:12 pm
When I meet with a candidate that I do not know, I don’t ask about specific situations or legislative bills. Legislation and issues come and go. What I want to know is the intellectual foundation of a candidate. In that way, if they are honest, I will know how they will vote on specific issues. […]

Ring: California’s Pensions Are An Economic Burden, Not Benefit

By Stephen Frank on Sep 16, 2015 08:10 pm
Thanks to the incompetence and mismanagement of CalPERS and CalSTRS, teachers get less take home pay, children get what remains after teachers and CalSTRS get paid. Your roads are filled with potholes, libraries have shorter hours, and there are fewer cops than we need. Government is cutting back on basic services, while the government pension […]

Low CA School Test Scores. No Problem—Won’t Count in Future

By Stephen Frank on Sep 16, 2015 08:07 pm
The educrats do not need to worry about failure in education. Give all the tests the politicians want, but we will not count the results of the tests or even care about the results. Failure means nothing to the educrats, they just want more money “for the kids”. ““The old notion of a single number […]

Judicial Watch: San Fran Crime Surge – Homicide Arrests up 55%, Rapes Arrests up 370%

By Stephen Frank on Sep 16, 2015 08:04 pm
The ACLU, Arnold and the confused Guv Brown must be proud. Thanks to their efforts, we have AB 109, Prop. 47 and our governors agreed to put vicious criminals on the streets—because the courts thought the criminals were uncomfortable in prison. Now we have decent people as the victims of Arnold and Jerry, with the […]

Feds Spend $1.5 Million Studying How Babies Think About Food

By Stephen Frank on Sep 16, 2015 08:02 pm
Did you know that your six month old baby “thinks” about food? So much so, the Feds have spent $1.5 million on a study. Why Gerber and other baby food makers spend more than that each year on market research, to figure out what would get a parent to buy their product. Yet, Obama has […]

Berkeley’s Soda Tax Loses Its Fizz but Offers Important Lessons

By Stephen Frank on Sep 16, 2015 07:57 pm
Leftists love to protect you from yourself by raising taxes, making it too expensive for you to express your freedom of choice. Berkeley decided you would die if you drank carbonated soda—so they taxed it, hoping the costs, like a $12 pack of cigarettes in New York; you would not buy the drink. But, the […]

Tulare County Drops Plan For Regional Transportation Impact Fee (TAX)

By Stephen Frank on Sep 16, 2015 07:54 pm
Great news for the taxpayers of Tulare County. The Board of Supervisors decided not to tax (called a impact fee—it is still a tax) for a regional approach to transportation. That means the people of Tulare pay the taxes, and unelected folks from other counties decide how the money is spent. Good for Tulare. Ventura […]

U-San Diego Blasted on Rape Report–Allowed RAPIST to Go Free

By Stephen Frank on Sep 16, 2015 07:51 pm
Like Planned Parenthood refusing to turn in men that made 15 year old girls pregnant, the University of San Diego also have protected a rapist—not as many as Planned parenthood, but still a rapist.   “The University of San Diego refused to call police after a student was raped in her dorm room and punished […]

Caregiving Crisis and the $15 Minimum Wage

By Stephen Frank on Sep 16, 2015 07:45 pm
If the Democrats have their way, folks in need of caregivers will find they can no longer afford them. “Most experts insist that caregivers for our precious elderly should be paid more than the $9 or $10 an hour made by fast food workers. And so, out in force at July’s White House Conference on […]
