    Rallies against Islamic law draw counter-protests across US, including San Bernardino
    SEATTLE >> Demonstrations against Islamic law Saturday in cities across the U.S. drew counter-protests by people who said they stoked unfounded fears and a distorted view of the religion.
    Hundreds marched through downtown Seattle, banging drums, cymbals and cowbells behind a large sign saying “Seattle stands with our Muslim neighbors.” Participants chanted “No hate, no fear, Muslims are welcome here” on their way to City Hall, while a phalanx of bicycle police offic

    Angels Notes: Cameron Maybin sits the day after his big night
    HOUSTON — A day after Cameron Maybin had one of the most productive days of his career — stealing four bases and scoring four runs — he was not in the Angels lineup.
    Manager Mike Scioscia said Saturday that it was a pre-planned day off for Maybin, who had been out for 10 days with an oblique injury before Friday.
    “We wanted to get him in the lineup and give him a day to bounce back and get him back in there,” Scioscia said. “As hard as he played last night, he

    U.K. prime minister’s top aides resign after election fiasco
    By JILL LAWLESS
    LONDON — The two top aides to British Prime Minister Theresa May resigned Saturday, sacrificed in a bid to save their leader from being toppled by a furious Conservative Party after a disastrous election wiped out May’s majority in Parliament.
    The ballot-box humiliation has seriously — and possibly mortally — wounded May’s leadership just as Britain is about to begin complex exit talks with the European Union.

    A shortage of commercial real estate – Why?
    Supply and demand. A basic economic principle first discussed in the seventeenth century by scholars such as John Locke, Sir James Steuart and Adam Smith.
    This Adam Smithian see-saw has broad implications in the commercial real estate market. If supply exceeds demand, a buyer’s market ensues. Conversely, sellers win when demand exceeds supply.
    Currently, Southern California is engulfed in a seller’s market largely because of this imbalance between available buildings – supply,

    Comey’s testimony produced no winners in a sorry situation

    Amidst the remarkable decision by Saudi Arabia and its Sunni allies to break ties with Qatar, critics claim that the Trump White House has blundered into a fresh crisis that could spiral into outright regional war.

    The relentless battle for legislative transparency
    For decades, it has been nearly impossible for ordinary citizens to pierce the veil of legislative secrecy in our state capital.
    Of course, California is not unique — legislative bodies have sought to conceal their activity for millennia. This is inherent in the differences between rulers and subjects. But we all know too well that mischief feeds on secrecy. The Roman poet Virgil wrote more than 2,000 years ago, “Evil is nourished and grows by concealment.”

    Let’s talk about the facts and reality of a single-payer health care system. The cost of such a system would literally double the state budget. It may offer no out-of-pocket expenses, but there would be plenty of costs.
    First, there is the obvious: the tax burden of an estimated $9,200 per person, which a lower-wage Californian certainly cannot afford. Middle-class residents won’t like it much, either.
    But there are even greater costs, like the rationing of health care coverage which
