    How influenza is much more of a threat to Americans than coronavirus right now
    The novel coronavirus outbreak in China has been in the headlines, and several people in California are being monitored for the virus. Although there are just a handful of coronavirus-related cases locally, more than 200 people have died in the state from other influenza-related causes this season. People over 65 are in the highest risk group.

    Biden tells New Hampshire Democrats: Buttigieg is ‘not a Barack Obama’
    By JULIE PACE and HUNTER WOODALL
    MANCHESTER, N.H. — Scrambling to salvage his presidential campaign, Joe Biden escalated his criticism of Pete Buttigieg on Saturday, mocking Buttigieg’s experience as a small city mayor and cutting down the comparisons Buttigieg has drawn to the last Democratic president, declaring: “This guy’s not a Barack Obama.”
    Biden’s biting attacks on Buttigieg’s relatively thin resume mark a new, more aggressive attempt to slow the

    Coronavirus claims more victims in China, including first US citizen
    BEIJING — The rate of increase in new cases of the virus in China rose again after a brief respite, as the death toll rose to 722 on the mainland and countries around the world enforced stricter measures to contain its spread.
    A U.S. citizen died of the virus in Wuhan, the city at the center of the outbreak, in what was apparently the first American death. A Japanese citizen being treated in Wuhan who was a suspected case also died.

    Dodgers trade for Mookie Betts, David Price reportedly in limbo
    Four days after news of a blockbuster trade that would bring Mookie Betts and David Price to Los Angeles, the deal is in limbo and indications are it might take some new blocks to complete it.
    As originally constituted, the Dodgers would send Kenta Maeda to the Minnesota Twins in exchange for pitching prospect Brusdar Graterol, then package Graterol with outfielder Alex Verdugo and send the pair to the Red Sox for Betts and Price.

    How California’s environmental rules deprive minorities of housing opportunities
    California’s landmark environmental law is being used to promote racist redlining housing policies, according to a lawsuit filed by a group of liberal activists.
    As readers of these editorial pages know, the California Environmental Quality Act has been abused in ways beyond anything having to do with the environment by NIMBYs to block development and by unions to extort preferential treatment.
    But a relatively new state regulation added to the CEQA process has had disastrous effects on lo

It represents not just a rejection of universal globalism embraced by our political and business elites, including in Britain itself, but potentially the rise of new trans-national blocs held together not just by markets and capital, but culture and common beliefs.

Unfortunately, Becerra has refused to fully comply with a new statute that requires the release of police-misconduct records, even though the courts have rebuked him. It’s shameful.
