    Need for term limits
    Re: “Dems’ DACA dishonesty” [Opinion, Sept. 10]: Thank you for Carl Cannon’s column. The small red header “Could have fixed it 10 years ago” pretty much says it all regarding how bad partisan politics has become. This issue — like health care — that drags on like a cancer until it is too far gone to fix, is a clear reason why term limits are so important.
    If the damage done by career politicians could be limited to three terms, America would be a l

    LOS ANGELES — After a miserable shooting performance the previous night, Lakers coach JJ Redick said the solution to their his team’s woes was simple.
    “Just have to keep shooting, I guess,” Redick said.
    And so they did. LeBron James took 20 shots. Luka Doncic attempted 16 and Jake LaRavia and DeAndre Ayton combined for nearly 20 more. The difference, though, between the previous game and Tuesday night’s was that the Lakers made baskets. A lot of baskets.

    ANAHEIM — Already hemorrhaging goals and short two attackers, the Ducks could ill afford to lose their two most potent offensive forces.

    They claimed the season series from Dallas, sandwiching an 8-3 loss between two tight victories over the NHL’s No. 2 team by record.
