Even Blue California Warms To School Choice

By Stephen Frank on May 14, 2017 08:47 pm
It takes time, maybe a couple of generations, for parents to understand how government education has failed them and their children.  We have textbooks in the computer age.  Students are taught NOT to think and what confronted with differing views roll up into the fetal position, unable to handle life and life choices. “In the PPIC […]

California’s subsidized after-school programs struggling to survive

By Stephen Frank on May 14, 2017 08:44 pm
The State of California is going to have a $2 billion deficit, this fiscal year—but in reality it will be closer to $10 billion.  In the past six years the State budget has gone up by $36 billion—but not a dime more for roads and streets.  We have the funds for schools, if we want […]

Major Water Infrastructure Financed With PRIVATE Funds

By Stephen Frank on May 14, 2017 08:42 pm
President Trump has said we need one trillion dollars in infrastructure spending.  Elon Musk is looking at a privately financed and developed hyperloop system instead of the money losing environmentally unstable high speed rail.  Here we have a firm providing much needed water, through private efforts, not government.  We can finance much of the needed […]

$$ Saved on Illegal Aliens Could Pay for Housing for Homeless—Instead of Increased Texas

By Stephen Frank on May 14, 2017 08:39 pm
It is laudable that most want to provide homes for the homeless.  Some are now making the case that increased health care costs for the homeless, is due to the lack of stable shelter for them.  So, provide homes, at a price to the taxpayer and you have better health for them.  Yet, to do […]

Op-Ed: It’s Time for Senator Dianne Feinstein to Retire

By Stephen Frank on May 14, 2017 08:36 pm
At a town hall last month, Dianne Feinstein was booed and jeered.  The charge was that she was out of touch, in the pocket of a politician they did not like and was unaware of the concerns of California.  No, it was not the Tea party that protested her views, it was the Progressive Left.  […]

Senator Moorlach: Bill would protect students who expose biased profs

By Stephen Frank on May 14, 2017 08:33 pm
Over the past six months we have had government paid professors tell student s that Pres. Trump is a racist, a hater, a white supremist, hates gays, hates blacks—is just a hater.  For students that know the truth, and brains are not fried from drug use, this means the quest for an education is not […]

AAA Goes Into Competition With Hertz and Uber

By Stephen Frank on May 14, 2017 08:30 pm
I love competition.  Uber and Lyft have killed off the taxi industry in city after city, while providing better service for the consumer.  AAA is known as a service to the consumer—providing emergency roadside service, insurance, maps and owns several travel agencies (full disclosure: one of my daughters works at an AAA owned travel agency) […]

LA Times to LA City Hall: GET REAL

By Stephen Frank on May 14, 2017 08:28 pm
As a hack Leftist politician you know you are in trouble when the incredible LA Times tells the public your budget is bad for the city.  While Mayor Garcetti claims the budget is only $200 million in deficit, the real deficit is closer to $600 million—when you add the CalPRS increases and the $242 million […]

California’s Idea of a Full School Day Doesn’t Make the Grade

By Stephen Frank on May 14, 2017 08:26 pm
There is a bill in the legislature to mandate that the first class in a government school in California can not start till 8:30—thinking this would mean the kids would have breakfast and a good nights sleep.  What a joke—it just mean kids will stay up later, get up later and eat what they want.  […]

Forbes magazine just listed UC Berkeley as the nations number one value for colleges. Berkeley?

By Stephen Frank on May 14, 2017 08:24 pm
In 1919 U.S. Attorney General Palmer was rounding up “communists’.  This caused the first recorder riot at UC Berkeley—in favor of protecting the rights of communists to over throw our nation.  In 1964, Mario Savio wanted free speech on campus—so riots ensued to PROTECT free speech.  In 2017 UC Berkeley was the site of riots, […]
