Sly Trump: Senate Killing Repeal of ACA Allows Total Collapse of Obamacare

By Stephen Frank on Jul 18, 2017 08:51 pm
How do you make the Democrats pay for their obstructionist attitude on repealing and replacing ObamaCare.  How do you show the Democrats are responsible for the lack of health care for millions?  Instead of just the GOP repealing and replacing, you let the system collapse.  And, that is what President Trump is going to do.  […]

California Democrats Want Data on Lobbyists’ Race, Sexual Orientation

By Stephen Frank on Jul 18, 2017 08:40 pm
Democrats claim to want privacy protected.  Yet, when it comes to actually policy, they are snoops.  In the case of lobbyists in Sacramento, there is an application and certification that you must have.  Lobbyists must file periodic reports on clients, income and issues they lobbied.  I understand that and think it is a good idea.  […]

The NEA (National Education Association) is the leading hostage taker in America.  Want to teach in a government school that is owned by the NEA—you either pay a bribe (they call it dues) to the union or the school district is not allowed to hire you.  That means the school district does not care about […]

YIMBY’s Flock to Bay Area

By Stephen Frank on Jul 18, 2017 08:26 pm
