• Ruling tells Xavier Becerra police are not above the law

  21-05-2019 23:19
  
  Police officers and prosecutors have a certain amount of judgment in discharging their responsibilities. For good reason, police need not hand out a ticket every time someone drives slightly above the speed limit, nor must prosecutors press charges for every picayune offense. But this does not mean that law enforcement officials have the right to totally ignore major laws that they don’t like. It only means they apply existing laws with some discretion.
  Disappointingly, Attorney General Xa

  Democrats agree with Trump that tariffs on China are a good idea. It always concerns me when the political classes in D.C. are in full agreement; the last time that happened, they voted for the Iraq War.
  Retaliatory tariffs will hurt the U.S. in the near term and China in the longer term. If ever Trump is going to take on the Chinese, who have cheated on trade for years, it is now. With low inflation, a good economy and the stock markets near highs, we are in the best position to endure a trade

  It was just over a year ago that the folks who operate a taco truck in Santa Ana called Tacos Manuel took the leap and opened a brick-and-mortar in Anaheim.
  The kitchen at the restaurant isn’t much bigger than the kitchen in their truck. The menu is more or less the same, and they serve everything here just as they would on a street corner: on flimsy plastic plates covered with tinfoil.

  President Trump is a big fan of deals — especially his own. While they don’t always pan out, when it comes to foreign policy, working for a deal is often wiser than stumbling, or rushing, toward war.
  Americans have had quite enough of war, which is one reason many voters are more apt to fear that Trump lacks the finesse to avoid it while trying to achieve big signature wins. And while it’s apparent that President Trump is prone to hyperbolic rhetoric, when it comes to actually
