I don't know about you, but I am feeling much better about the state of the nation this morning than when I went to bed last night. Since I'm constantly exposed to the news cycle, and for that matter, real life, I was under the impression that crime was out of control across the nation.
People at rallies are obviously capable of yelling out whatever they want. It’s how leaders of the event and the community involved respond that is defining. That is why the response of local Arab and Muslim leaders who vocally slammed a “death to America” chant by a few attendees at an April 5 rally in Dearborn, Michigan, was so vitally important. This despicable chant was heard as part of an annual Al Quds Day (Jerusalem Day) event intended to show support for Palestinians. This year, given...
Scottie Scheffler played his game while others made big mistakes in Sunday's final round of the Masters. His 68 was good for a four-shot win and his second green jacket.
In the fall of 2022, Robin Clough and Dr. Gene Dorio were going about their lives as they had for many years, serving older adults in the Santa Clarita Valley. Clough was busy with her work as an administrator at the local senior center while Dorio, a house-call geriatrician, crisscrossed the valley visiting his patients. In November of that year, Clough saw a lump on her neck and had it checked out. The early indication was that she had papillary thyroid cancer. “I was somewhat worried,” said...
When I first came to California to apply for graduate school in the late ’80s, I drove to Santa Monica and parked my car. There were more homeless people than I’d ever seen, living here in tents on the grass by the ocean under palm trees. Before college, as a result of poverty, I’d slept in my car or in the woods. Then, as a community college student in Arizona, I lived in my car when I was between apartments. But I had never been to a place where sleeping outdoors seemed to be a way of life for...
To the editor: I have one thing to say to UC Irvine psychology professor Paul Piff about his hypothesis that awe generated by Monday's total solar eclipse could bring an end to partisan wars in America. I went to Nashville in 2017 to see the eclipse. I was in awe. I did not suddenly fall in love with then-President Trump. William Goldman, Los Angeles .. To the editor: Awe may very well be a universal response to an eclipse. Of interest is the belief that an eclipse causes change, either positive...
From watching the light pass through tree leaves to peering into a modified cereal box. Here's how to view the 2024 solar eclipse without glasses.
During the fierce February rainstorms, I had to drive from Riverside to Santa Barbara and back. Flooding was everywhere, and on my way home, I took an alternate route. I started off on the 101, then turned onto Highway 126 through the beauty of Santa Paula and Fillmore, the clouds massive and purple, to the 5 in Castaic, then onto the 14 along the edge of the Angeles National Forest. Finally I turned east on 138, the Pearblossom Highway. The roadway was full of commuters, but as we skirted Mt....
Last week, when Donald Trump started teasing a big abortion announcement, it felt similar to what he used to do with the famous “infrastructure week” — but about women’s bodies. For any of us who’ve even remotely followed Trump’s many different stances on abortion, trust me when I say none of us were holding our breath. The former president, whose Supreme Court nominations while in office inarguably enabled Roe to be struck down and women’s reproductive rights rolled back, has been wildly...
Opinion by Douglas Brinkley (CNN) — Around the start of this century, the world counted only two major players in manned space exploration: The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and Roscosmos, the Russian Space Agency. Ten years later, the heavens were crowded by comparison, with a number of private companies vying to restart the
