  Roughly two years after an effort began to have Erik and Lyle Menendez released from prison, a re-sentencing hearing in the San Fernando Valley will begin Tuesday for the brothers, who are serving life prison terms without the possibility of parole for the 1989 shotgun murders of their parents in their Beverly Hills mansion.
  The brothers have spent about 35 years behind bars for the Aug. 20, 1989, killings of Jose and Mary Louise “Kitty” Menendez. The Menendez brothers claim the kill

  Building and operating a full-scale railroad in your backyard would be a dream come true for many devoted railfans, and renowned Disney animator Ward Kimball lived that dream for more than 60 years at his Southern California home.
  The iconic San Gabriel backyard railroad was dubbed the “Grizzly Flats Railroad – The Scenic Wonder of The West” by Kimball – a fanciful name for a line with 900 feet of track on two acres, surrounded by citrus groves.

  GENEVA (AP) — U.S. and Chinese officials said Monday they had reached a deal to roll back most of their recent tariffs and call a 90-day truce in their trade war for more talks on resolving their trade disputes.

  The Republican party, led by President Trump, has decided that growth is no longer a priority. This is evident in the president’s trade war, the minimal opposition among Republican members of Congress, and the seemingly endless supply of bad policy ideas that will do little to support growth.
  In the years leading up to the global pandemic, the US economy was on the upswing. Growth had strengthened, and unemployment rates were bottoming out. The right mix of deregulation and tax reform alon

• Was Trump’s meeting with Canadian PM Carney a turning point or a head fake?

  12-05-2025 06:19 via ocregister.com
  
  A meeting between the President of the United States and Prime Minister of Canada is rarely newsworthy. But, with tension between the two nations at the highest levels since the 1800’s, President Trump’s meeting with newly elected Prime Minister Mark Carney was worth watching.
  Put another way, a meeting that should have been routine, even anodyne, has become important, in large part only because the two leaders did not fight in the Oval Office.
  Indeed, amidst the backdrop of a trade

  ANAHEIM — On a day that the Angels had a chance to build some momentum by winning back-to-back series for the first time in nearly a month, they instead played a fundamental mess of a game.
  The Angels made mistakes in the field and on the bases in a 7-3 loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday.
  A day after the Angels (16-23) played a clean game with good pitching, defense and hitting, the Angels didn’t have much of anything working on Sunday.
