  But when the Rams defense returned to the sideline, overtime ahead of them in their divisional-round game, the group gathered, no hint of despair among them.
  “On to the next play,” cornerback Cobie Durant said. “They’re NF

  In the year since Donald Trump’s second inauguration fell on King Day, the Republican president has gone scorched earth against diversity, equity and inclusion

  19-01-2026 16:00 via ocregister.com
  
  Longtime listeners to KFI (640 AM) know the name Chris Little. The former news reporter-turned news director was with the station for 33 years before being let go in an iHeart Media mass layoff in late 2024; he was let go along with half of the station’s news department.
  Little made KFI news what it was: quick, concise, and extremely popular. KFI was the station many from Southern California tuned to in an emergency, instead of even all-news competitor KNX (1070 AM, 97.1 FM). KFI won more

  Martin Luther King Jr. never held public office, though he considered running for president briefly in 1967. Yet he may have been responsible for more profound change in institutions and attitudes in the United States than any American of the 20th century. His life is a testament to the capacity of determined nonviolent protest and resistance rather than violence and bitterness to bring about change; indeed, such methods may be the only ones that can effect change that really matters.
