• Second Amendment, self-defense rights are still under attack

  30-08-2017 09:02 via ocregister.com
  
  Defenders of the Second Amendment rejoiced when Donald Trump, who has been outspoken in his support of gun rights, defeated the decidedly anti-gun Hillary Clinton and marked the end of the equally gun-hostile Obama administration. But, while Trump’s election may have helped stop the bleeding and given some momentum to “pro-2A” advocates, at least at the federal level, there are still too many restrictions on gun ownership and carry, which infringe on constitutional rights and i

• UCLA football breakdown: How the Bruins look at quarterback

  18-01-2026 19:33 via ocregister.com
  
  LOS ANGELES — Bob Chesney’s first roster as UCLA football coach was always going to dramatically look different.
  And if going by Nico Iamaleava’s collegiate-career experience alone, the Bruins may have been searching in the transfer portal for a new starting quarterback. A year ago, UCLA thought Appalachian State quarterback Joey Aguilar was its transfer portal signal caller.
  A few months later, at the end of spring camp, Iamaleava trotted into town – ridding himself of t

• As you age, it’s not your looks, it’s how you wear yourself

  Laguna Woods Globe columnist
  Vanity doesn’t dissipate with age. And neither does gravity.
  Some contend that the older we get, it isn’t just our veins that become more pronounced; becoming vainglorious is also a distinct possibility. Being proud of one’s accomplishments isn’t in and of itself a bad thing. And there are those who misconstrue a factual anecdote for boastfulness.
  It’s self-image that takes center stage in the Vanity Olympics, and w

  Resolutions aside, January can be a perfect opportunity to reflect and look back.
  When you think about the year that just ended, what truly stands out? Did 2025 bring its share of surprises?
  Maybe it was the unexpected conversation that triggered a new pursuit or a quiet decision that didn’t seem like much at the time but ended up changing everything.
  Perhaps it was the people who showed up when it mattered most – proof that timing really is everything.

• What to consider when helping an older person to age in place

  18-01-2026 16:30 via ocregister.com
  
  Q. I am in despair and exhausted regarding my 99-year-old mother. My father, while he lived, did not encourage her to learn anything about electronics or the Internet. She cannot even manage her hearing aids and refuses to use a cellphone. Despite being fairly capable in her 99th year, she is completely cut off from the world. I have to manage everything to keep her at home. Our part-time caregiver speaks little English. Would moving my mother to an assisted living residence increase her chances

• How California governor candidates say they will tackle homelessness

  18-01-2026 16:00 via ocregister.com
  
  Homelessness — and affordability, housing availability and myriad other issues tangential to a very visible problem in California — is among the many concerns Californians have that the bevy of gubernatorial candidates will be asked to address as the campaign for governor continues this year.
  In fact, a recent Public Policy Institute survey found 8 in 10 Californians are at least somewhat concerned about homelessness in their area.

  Growing up in Virginia, where Jewish people were a minority, I sometimes daydreamed about what it would be like to be Christian, like most of my schoolmates. Perhaps life would be simpler if I were observing Christmas and Easter, which everyone knew about, instead of trying to explain Passover and the High Holy Days.I often felt a sense of being on the outside looking in to a world that didn’t include me.

  In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, most of us end the day with a warm meal and a secure roof over our heads. Even as affordability tightens, we stretch our budgets to make it work.
  But there is a quieter, often invisible group of families, seniors, and veterans in Orange County who are barely hanging on – struggling to pay rent, buy groceries, afford medicine, and keep the lights on. They are one paycheck away from losing housing.
  That’s housing insecurity. It’s one ste

• Jon Coupal: Why even bother with a state budget?

  Understandably, very few citizens of California follow closely the state budget process which, for the 2026-27 fiscal year, just kicked off with the release of the Governor’s proposal. Of course, part of that may be due to the complexity of public finance issues, but the reality is that since 2010 with the passage of Proposition 25, the state has no discernible annual spending plan. 
  Technically, the timing of passing a budget hasn’t changed. It’s merely that the deadlines
