• Trump’s appeal to Libertarian Party falls flat

  28-05-2024 19:48 via ocregister.com
  
  Former President Donald Trump addressed the Libertarian National Convention on Saturday, appealing for either the party’s nomination “or at least lots of your votes” come November.
  Trump’s pitch was simple: “If we unite, we will be unstoppable.”
  Given the close margins of presidential contests, Trump’s appeal makes sense for him. The party’s presidential candidate received over 1 million votes in 2020 and over 4 million in 2016.

  You may remember the recession in the early ’90s, an economic decline that lasted about a year. Many felt the pinch. I assume that most of us have had tight food budgets along the way, challenges that include the inflation we’re presently confronting.
  In the early days of my first marriage, my husband was in medical school, and I was earning a very modest new-teacher salary. I cooked every day, trying to make the dollars stretch. On a visit to the doctor that included a lon

• How Sinkane used therapy, college and the Black Arts Movement to create his new album ‘We Belong’

  28-05-2024 18:45 via ocregister.com
  
  When Sinkane appears on a Zoom call to discuss his new album, “We Belong,” a psychedelic background behind him makes it appear he’s floating in space. The Brooklyn-based musician, born Ahmed Gallab, jokes that he’s phoning in from an abyss — one that only he knows exists. Listening to Gallab’s Afrofuturistic album, the idea that he can occupy multiple worlds at once doesn’t seem so far off.
  Over the course of his career, Gallab hasn’t shied away fr

  Tustin residents soon will have new grocery options in the popular retail zone along Newport Avenue.
  99 Ranch Market is opening in July in a former Haggen grocery store at 550 E 1st St. (Some readers will recall this store in Larwin Square was a Vons for much longer before it was divested in the Albertsons-Safeway merger and converted to a Haggen, which lasted barely six months.)
  The Buena Park-based 99 Ranch will likely begin with a “soft” opening in mid-month.

  Adam Schiff counted on this back in February, when he blasted out TV commercials designed to promote former baseball all-star Steve Garvey to Republican voters just as millions of Californians were filling out mail-in primary election ballots: Garvey, the GOP’s U.S. Senate candidate for the seat long occupied by the late Democrat Dianne Feinstein, often looks like a green rookie as he campaigns – when he even bothers to campaign.

  The opening scenes of Viggo Mortensen’s “The Dead Don’t Hurt” are vintage Hollywood Western – there’s a killing in a Nevada bar, a lawman shot down on a dusty street and a trial in which the rich and powerful protect the guilty and railroad an innocent man, which culminates in his hanging.
