• Do Dodgers need new blood? They have a month to prove they don’t

  30-06-2018 22:50 via ocregister.com
  
  LOS ANGELES — Only the rarest baseball season reveals itself at once.
  The Astros figured to be good, and they are. The White Sox figured to be bad, actually planned to be, and they are.
  Most of the rest of the seasons are slideshows, destination unknown. The final frame is difficult to see. The Dodgers didn’t start 2018 on time, thanks to health concerns, but since the middle of May their bottom line has been impressive. A week ago they were getting ready to finish a Home Run Derby e

  No state in the union has been more adamant in opposing President Trump’s policy on immigration than California. The Golden State widely sees itself — and is widely seen in progressive circles — as the harbinger of America’s multi-cultural future, a “sanctuary state” that epitomizes ethnic ascendency.
  Yet in reality, the picture is far less pleasing, most of all for racial minorities, particularly the poor and working class. The state policy agenda, dominated

  For supporters of Hillary Clinton, it was the worst moment since the night they sat under a glass ceiling at the Javits Center in New York, waiting for the victory speech that never came.
  Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, so often the “swing vote” between liberal and conservative viewpoints, announced his retirement.

  Early 19th century French diplomat Joseph de Maistre wasn’t even talking about the United States when he said famously that “every country has the government it deserves.” Still, I’m starting to wonder: Can American voters — and our brethren in democracies around the globe — possibly be as idiotic as our elected officials and cultural leaders?

  As temperatures rise, irrigate your garden and landscape in the evening or early in the morning, but not in the middle of the day.
  Allow water to run long enough to soak in deeply, then turn it off. Plants use the most water when temperatures are high, when a breeze blows, during flowering or as fruit is developing. Container plants usually need more frequent watering than those in the ground.
