• These Rams don’t lose often – and almost never twice in a row

  10-11-2018 23:52 via ocregister.com
  
  Beat them once, shame on you. Beat them twice, shame on them.
  Of all the dramatic improvements the Rams made in 2017, this one stood out: They never lost consecutive games in the regular season. That might not sound dramatic, but given the parity of the league and how quickly any type of losing streak can derail playoff chances, it’s an important factor.
  So, here they are again. The Rams lost a thrilling game at New Orleans last week, and now they face Seattle in the Coliseum in a game tha

• UCLA football comeback falls short at Arizona State

  10-11-2018 23:31 via ocregister.com
  
  TEMPE, Ariz. — Wilton Speight waved his hands in the air, hurry up, the grad transfer quarterback was urging his teammates as the clock wound down on third down.
  The Bruins hurried, but in the wrong way.
  UCLA’s would-be game-winning drive stalled with back-to-back false starts on offensive linemen and Speight’s third-down prayer was incomplete to Devin Asiasi as the Bruins lost 31-28 to Arizona State on Saturday.
  UCLA (2-8, 2-5) got within three points twice in the second half

• President Trump can’t end birthright citizenship on his own

  10-11-2018 23:00 via ocregister.com
  
  Before last Tuesday’s election, President Trump launched a trial balloon about ending birthright citizenship with an executive order.
  He probably can’t do that. Most likely, it would take a constitutional amendment to change U.S. law governing who is a citizen of the United States and who is not.
  The concept of citizenship by place of birth was part of English common law long before the founding of the United States.

  Democrat Harley Rouda declared victory Saturday, Nov. 10, in his bid to oust Republican Dana Rohrabacher from a congessional seat he’s held for 30 years.
  Rohrabacher’s campaign did not concede, noting there are more than 300,000 ballots countywide that have yet to be counted in Orange County.

  SACRAMENTO — Democratic and Republican partisans are still bickering over the national significance of Tuesday’s mixed-verdict midterm elections. I wish they’d give the country a rest from their political grudge match for a while, but at least few people are arguing about the California election results. Once again, the state’s Republicans — now holding registration levels below No Party Preference voters — got their clocks cleaned. It was embarrassing.
