• America can’t ignore the economic threat of a rising China

  18-05-2019 19:13 via ocregister.com
  
  In the aftermath of the Communist victory in the late 1940s, the question often asked in Washington was: “Who lost China?” That fueled the McCarthyite inquisition that followed. The question our children might ask is: “Who lost America?”
  The long-running side-show around Russian “collusion” focused on the nasty but largely inconsequential ties between some of Donald Trump’s more sleazy aides and their equally disreputable Russian or Ukrainian counterpart

  LOS ANGELES — It simply became impossible to block out the noise at times last season, the lack of size on USC’s defensive front a consistent talking point that burrowed its way into the heads of players themselves.
  This group, veteran edge Jamil Muhammad emphasized after USC’s spring game, was “night and day” from last season, from philosophy to execution to simply size – bigger, stronger, more visibly physical.

  A scathing obituary written by a Connecticut firefighter about his late dad has been abruptly removed from the internet, but that’s OK with the writer, he said, because in the 24 hours it was online, he got his message across.
  “Everyone I care to see it has seen it. It served its purpose, take control of the narrative,” Timothy McLaughlin said. “Writing that obituary was very cathartic.”

  If you were standing on the edge of a canyon in the San Juan Basin of the Colorado Plateau about 1,200 years ago, you may have heard a loud, distant sound reverberating off the rock faces and ricocheting across the desert.
  Like the gong of a bell or the deep tone of a ship’s horn, the sound would be a rich single note cutting through the dry air.

  By John T. Bennett, CQ-Roll Call
  WASHINGTON — Protests on college campuses related to the Israel-Hamas war and humanitarian crisis inside Gaza that turned violent this week handed President Joe Biden a political headache and former President Donald Trump a new attack line. The unrest showed the risks of being the incumbent and allowed Trump to — once again — push his hardline views as disrupter in chief.

She just knew that the Perris where she was raised isn’t really there anymore.

  The decay in American education is an alarming national security threat.

  If California’s population is well off its peak, and developers keep on building housing, why does the cost of living in the Golden State remain lofty?
