  We are caught in a vicious cycle of too many laws, too many cops, and too little freedom.
  It’s hard to say whether we’re dealing with a kleptocracy (a government ruled by thieves), a kakistocracy (a government run by unprincipled career politicians, corporations and thieves that panders to the worst vices in our nature and has little regard for the rights of American citizens), or a Nanny State Idiocracy.
  Whatever the label, this overbearing despotism is what happens when government

  13-06-2024 04:22 via ocregister.com
  
  ORLANDO, Fla. — Four days after one of their worst matches, Christian Pulisic and the U.S. soccer team stopped an 11-game losing streak to Brazil with a spirted 1-1 draw that left them with a positive mindset heading into the Copa America.
  Pulisic scored in 26th minute to offset Rodrygo’s 17th-minute goal and Matt Turner had 11 saves, the most for an American goalkeeper since Tim Howard’s 15 in the second-round loss to Belgium at the 2014 World Cup.

  Regrettable, that the rift between the Lakers and Jerry West lasted until his death on Wednesday at 86.
  A shame that the man whose inspiring life and legacy can’t be talked about without mentioning the Lakers – for whom he played 14 years and whose front-office tenure led to five NBA titles – was on poor terms with the franchise when he passed away.
  West would have liked to end his NBA career with the Lakers – if they’d wanted him back. They didn’t, though, so
