I am looking forward to the Sanders vs. Trump presidential race. It will be a debate on American values vs. government values. Sanders believes in government, Trump believes in the people. This will be a debate on the failures of socialism—name a socialist country that is prosperous or does not collapse into chaos—vs. capitalism, which […]

How do you create a recession in just one State and not the nation? You close the State to jobs and business, raise the cost of energy and force people to live in a State where criminals are protected and honest people are mandated victims. That describes California. Did you know that only California among […]

How soon will the U.S. State Department or the U.S. Department of Justice issue a Travel Warning to those thinking of going to San Fran. Car break-ins are the norm—with almost no arrest and NO investigations. The city has become a haven for disease due to human and dog poop everywhere. With the new DA […]

Unions wrote AB 5. They got it passed, not because they wanted to protect workers, but because they wanted to enslave workers. “San Francisco saw an early glimpse of that trend in October, when the city required companies bidding for scooter operator licenses to hire W-2 employees for tasks like charging and repairs. Members of […]

How do you make the gridlock on the Bay Bridge worse? Politicians know how to do that—that create a bus only lane, instead of a car lane. Oh, the car drivers, by buying gas and paying taxes, are financing the creation of more gridlock. “The San Francisco Examiner reported last week that Assemblymember Rob Bonta […]

The next time you have a race for City Council or Mayor, listen closely to what the candidates say about zoning, permits and housing in your community. If they say anything other then “we no longer control housing, zoning and permits in our town. The State of California is in full control. My hometown of […]

The cost of a gallon of gas in California is about a buck more than the national average. We import 56% of our energy from outside the State and nation. Our energy costs are DOUBLE that of the national average. California is too expansive, in part because of tax policy. For years the Democrats have […]

I hate when government lies. Like most government, San Diego is refusing to tell the public that while “affordable housing” might get $900 million—it also means Wall Street will get another $90 million. The real winners are the rich and greedy, the losers are the families of California. “The San Diego City Council moved a […]

The Socialist Mayor San Diego, Kevin Faulconer—he wants government to own utilities and energy companies (same as Bernie Sanders)—does understand the root cause of the homeless problem—that 90% of those on the streets are either mentally ill, or are alcoholics and/or drug addicts. “He vowed to work in the coming years for a state ballot […]
