  For the first time in more than 30 years, fireworks shells will not blast, streak or explode over Laguna Beach’s Heisler Park in the customary July 4 extravaganza.
  Instead, the City Council has opted to go with a drone show, a suggestion pushed by the city’s Environmental and Sustainability Committee to be more conscious of the environment, the community’s animals, nearby wildlife and sea creatures impacted by the blast and debris.

• Long line forms at first Orange County stop in tour of St. Jude relic

  A relic of St. Jude is being displayed at four Orange County Catholic churches this week, during a tour of the United States that marks the first time it has left Italy.
  The relic is a bone fragment that is encased in a wooden reliquary carved in the form of an arm appearing to give a blessing; Catholic Church officials say the bone piece was separated several centuries ago from St. Jude Thaddeus’ remains laid to rest at St. Peter’s Basilica.

  The current spate of campus takeovers by pro-Palestinian, anti-Israeli and often anti-Semitic protesters turns out to be neither an accident nor, for the most part, spontaneous .
  This first became clear when demonstrators yelling “We Are Hamas” and “Gas the Jews” appeared on university campuses early on Oct. 8, the morning after the terrorist group’s surprise attack killed at least 1,200 Israeli Jews and kidnapped another 240, while also raping and mutilating an unk

• Addressing the myths that Republicans and President Trump are soft on the environment

  The mainstream media loves the narrative that it is only Democrats who care about protecting our environment.  A review of the facts shows just the opposite.  
  Republican presidents, not Democrat presidents created and supported landmark legislation that gave us our national parks and the Environmental Protection Agency.  Yellowstone, the first National Park, was created by legislation signed by President Ulysses S. Grant in 1872.  In 1901 President Theodore Roosevelt gr

  One of America’s top roller coaster destinations might have found the breaking point for coaster fans.
  Cedar Point’s Top Thrill 2 debuts to the public this week. A rebuild of the former Top Thrill Dragster, the 120-mph coaster now features three launches and a 420-foot spike to go along with its iconic 420-foot top hat hill. But none of these physical elements are too much for devoted roller coaster fans.

  The Big Ten, the Pac-12 and the Ivy League are overrun with antisemitic students protesting in favor of Hamas. They claim they support Palestinians, but “Globalize the intifada” and “Palestine will be free from the river to the sea” are explicit genocidal slogans of Hamas. Democrats insist words mean things. These words mean the students are terrorist sympathizers.

• Dodgers cash in with bases loaded to beat Diamondbacks

  PHOENIX — If at first you don’t succeed – just keep loading the bases.
  The Dodgers entered Monday’s game 4 for 27 (.148) with 13 strikeouts in bases-loaded situations this year, a starvation diet in the all-you-can-eat buffet of scoring opportunities. When Shohei Ohtani hit into an inning-ending double play with the bases loaded in the second inning – albeit on a 106.7 mph ground ball – the kryptonite seemed to get stronger.

  But they did face down a couple early-season nemeses – hitting with the bases loaded and strikeouts.
