• As the state’s population reaches a milestone, Trump and California butt heads over the census

  15-07-2018 21:30 via ocregister.com
  
  There are, more or less, 40 million people living in California now, nearly twice its population when Jerry Brown began his first governorship in 1975.
  But is it more, or less?
  The 2020 federal census will provide the official answer, but there are rising fears among California’s political leaders, Democrats all, and myriad civil rights groups that the census will severely undercount Californians for political reasons.
  The Donald Trump administration and a Republican Congress, they say, is

  15-07-2018 21:00 via ocregister.com
  
  This summer, California’s population finally surpasses 40 million.
  We should celebrate by reflecting on just how small we are.
  Of course, we won’t. California, like an insecure male lover, is always bragging about how big it is. And so crossing the 40-million threshold — by state figures, it’s likely to happen in late summer — will occasion another round of boasting about our size, not merely in population but in economic output and cultural impact. The moment will

  Give President Donald Trump credit. He got Europe’s attention.
  For decades American presidents and defense secretaries threatened, badgered, asked, and begged European leaders to spend more on their militaries. Uncle Sam’s persistent whining was embarrassing.
  Yet even during the Cold War while facing the Soviet Union, NATO’s European members largely acted as if fielding armed services was a luxury rather than a necessity. Their promises to do more were mostly pro forma and rout
