• Cookie, a Big Bear bald eagle chick born last month, has died

  27-05-2019 22:09
  
  The baby bald eagle chick born last month in the Big Bear Lake area called Cookie has died, most likely because of hypothermia, U.S. Forest Service officials said on Monday, May 27.
  A late-season storm on Sunday pushed overnight temperatures down to 26 degrees and added a couple inches of snow after rainfall, which can be a deadly mix to young chicks, the U.S. Forest Service said.
  “We had done a checkup on them and did some banding on Friday and both appeared to be healthy and looked good,

  By ARON HELLER
  JERUSALEM — Israel’s parliament on Monday passed a preliminary motion to dissolve itself. The move further pushed the country toward an unprecedented political impasse, less than two months after elections seemed to promise Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a new mandate.
  If the bill receives final passage in a vote scheduled Wednesday, Israel would be forced to hold new elections — sending the political system into disarray.

  TOKYO — All the pomp and pageantry in the world couldn’t paper over the tensions between President Donald Trump and Japan’s Shinzo Abe on two of their most pressing issues: North Korea and trade.

  Cameron and Karie Herber have two incomes, good credit and successful careers. But the Riverside couple still can’t find a house they can afford to buy.

  Congress, and particularly the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives, seems determined to see the end of the Trump administration before the 2020 vote.
  Although House Speaker Pelosi claims she is not seeking impeachment, she’s accusing the president of “covering up” something. However, she won’t say what until she can do more investigating.
  But Trump’s opponents on both sides of the congressional aisle don’t seem so enthusiastic about challenging the pr

  The more elections go by with Californians electing huge Democratic majorities to the state Legislature and no Republicans to statewide offices, the more secure elected Democrats feel. The more secure they feel, it seems, the more taxes they want to impose on the folks who put them in office.
  It’s not enough that California already has among the highest income and sales taxes in America, ranking the state No. 11 among the 50 states in terms of overall tax burden. Only the property tax limi

  Are Southern California homes more unaffordable these days? Well, it depends on which yardstick you’re using.
  If you look at home pricing and incomes since the Great Recession ended, affordability has gotten much worse.
  Of course, if we dream of returning to that era, don’t forget that bargain hunters of those days were bold. Buyers had to be willing to act when the economy and real estate markets were shaky. Not to mention, lenders post-recession were reluctant to do business with a
