  14-07-2019 23:55
  
  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.

  For the second time in a month, a national immigration sweep threatened by President Donald Trump isn’t resulting in a dramatic increase in deportations.
  As of noon Sunday, news reports from around the country showed that the much publicized plan to have Immigration and Customs Enforcement pick up about 2,000 immigrants was playing out in a low-key manner.

• San Francisco trial court ruling a temporary setback for Prop. 13

  14-07-2019 20:40
  
  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.
  The harmful consequences of the court’s ruling cannot be understated. Unless

  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.
  The two living Beatles almost never perform together in public – according to online accounts, this appears to be only their 11th time to do so in the 50 years since the legendary band broke up – and most of those times were private or more exclusiv

  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.

• ‘It’s going to turn’ for slumping Austin Barnes, Dodgers manager believes

• The citizenship question and the real wall in the illegal immigration debate

  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.

• Will GOP be fooled again by California Redistricting Commission?

  There’s a long list of reasons why California Republicans were decimated in the 2018 midterm elections.
  The most overlooked: Democrats got a nine-year head start.
  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.

  EL SEGUNDO — Most of Chicago is bulging with 6-foot-3 kids who can shoot 3s and handle. Most of them stay in Chicago. Only the special ones leave.
  Anthony Davis was just an eyebrow in the crowd through the first two years at Perspectives-HSA charter school.
  Certainly he was nothing like the strong-looking 6-foot-7 guy who strode into the University of Chicago Lab School gym for a summer league game 11 years ago.

  It would be comforting if Nike’s decision to ditch its “Betsy Ross” flag sneakers at the behest of former NFL quarterback and social justice warrior Colin Kaepernick was exceptional, but, sadly, it is not. Increasingly, many of our most powerful companies eagerly kowtow to the purveyors of political correctness — such as those who compared the revolutionary banner to the Nazi swastika flag or that of the Confederacy.
