    Homicide investigation in southeast Los Angeles County tangles train schedules
    A homicide investigation near train tracks in southeastern Los Angeles County near Pico Rivera forced cancellation or delays Sunday for Metrolink trains and Amtrak’s Pacific Surfliner.
    Information was scant: It was the Pacific Surfliner’s Twitter account that said the investigation involved a homicide. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department would only say Sunday afternoon that deputies from its Pico Rivera station were involved in an investigation in the area.

    Leave the US, Trump tells liberal congresswomen of color
    By JONATHAN LEMIRE and CALVIN WOODWARD
    WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Sunday assailed a group of Democratic congresswomen of color as foreign-born troublemakers who should go back to the “broken and crime infested places from which they came,” ignoring the fact that the women are American citizens and all but one was born in the U.S. Trump’s tweets prompted a wave of searing condemnation from Democrats, who set aside their rifts to speak as one in calling Tru

    San Francisco trial court ruling a temporary setback for Prop. 13
    Recently, a San Francisco judge upheld the validity of a local special tax that failed to secure a two-thirds vote of the city electorate as required both by Proposition 13 (1978) and Proposition 218 (1996), also known as the Right to Vote on Taxes Act. Both initiatives were sponsored by the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association. The lawsuit was brought by HJTA and, after the ruling, it immediately filed an appeal.

    Paul McCartney had already delivered a spectacular show at Dodger Stadium – 33 songs from the Beatles, Wings and his solo career – but one song into the encore out walked Ringo Starr and Saturday night became one for the ages.

    FULLERTON – Over the course of the four years of the North Orange County Shootout passing tournament at Sunny Hills High, the objective for the Orange football team has changed.
    In 2016, the tournament’s inaugural year, the Panthers were just pleased to be invited to the tournament and compete. In 2019, the goal was to win the whole tournament.
    The Panthers did just that by winning all seven of their games Saturday, including a 24-9 win over Newport Harbor in the tournament finals.

    The real wall in the debate over illegal immigration is the one that divides what might be called “respectable opinion” from overwhelming public opinion.
    “Respectable opinion” is the sort of thing you can say on “Meet the Press” and get that small approving smile from Chuck Todd, while public opinion, particularly on the immigration issue, is more likely to get you suspended from any of the social media platforms headquartered in the Silicon Valley.

    In December 2009, the California State Auditor formally opened the application process for members of the public to serve on the state’s inaugural independent redistricting commission. That’s when shrewd Democrats went to work gaming the redistricting process.
