• What will it take for Trump supporters to recognize they’re following a clown?

  28-11-2022 22:35 via ocregister.com
  
  Bear with me for a moment.
  Think about the following scenario carefully.
  A former president of the United States, who is now running to be president again, had dinner with two very disturbed individuals.
  One is Ye, better known as Kanye West, a rapper who has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and who has spent the last two months condemning Jews, the “Jewish underground media mafia” and so on.
  The other is Nick Fuentes, a White supremacist and Holocaust denier who has praised both

• Could Dodgers’ Mookie Betts lead majors in hits, runs and walks?

  05-05-2024 03:04 via ocregister.com
  
  LOS ANGELES — It’s a trifecta that hasn’t been accomplished since 1876 when Ross Barnes led MLB in runs, hits and walks over a 66-game schedule for the Chicago White Stockings.
  But Mookie Betts entered Saturday first in hits, second in runs scored (behind Ronald Acuna Jr.) and tied for first in walks (with Juan Soto).
  That Betts, a former batting champion (2018), could lead the majors in hits is not hard to imagine. That he could also lead in runs scored (he has led his league

• Reid Detmers allows grand slam in Angels’ loss to Guardians

  05-05-2024 02:23 via ocregister.com
  
  CLEVELAND — Reid Detmers’ season has suddenly turned in the wrong direction.
  The Angels left-hander gave up seven runs in a 7-1 loss to the Cleveland Guardians on Saturday, a second straight disappointing outing after beginning his season brilliantly.
  Detmers had a 2.12 ERA after his first five starts, but he’s allowed 12 runs in the last two games to double his ERA, to 4.24.
  The Angels also lost catcher Logan O’Hoppe, who came out of the game with a right hand contusion.

  The Orange community celebrated with the power of The Force on Saturday.
  The Orange May Parade adopted a Star Wars theme this year — there’s a trend of celebrating “May the Fourth Be With You” on May 4, a play on the famed Star Wars phrase — and this year’s theme was, “Come to the Orange Side!”

• Why a bountiful fruit tree in your garden is a delight until it isn’t

  05-05-2024 01:35 via ocregister.com
  
  Q. About 3 1/2 years ago we planted a Fuyu Persimmon tree from a local nursery near Moreno Valley. It grew rather quickly, and last year, there was a large quantity of beautiful, tasty persimmons. However, the yield was heavy enough that a couple of the larger branches broke off. Toward the end of the season, we tied up some of the branches to the stake. Now, this year, over the early spring, most of the upper branches are brittle, gray, and frankly, dead. To my surprise, there is one healthy-lo

  LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Mystik Dan held off two competitors down the stretch to barely capture Saturday’s 150th running of the Kentucky Derby on Saturday at Churchill Downs.
  Sierra Leone and Forever Young closed quickly on Mystik Dan, but came up short by a nose. Mystik Dan, trained by Kenny McPeek and ridden by Brian Hernandez Jr., covered the 1¼ in 2:03.34.
  The $5 million purse was the richest in Kentucky Derby history, surpassing the $3 million purse from 2019-23. The winner

• Alexander: Kings apparently will keep GM Rob Blake, but at what cost?

  05-05-2024 00:39 via ocregister.com
  
  Here’s one problematic aspect of promoting a great player to a key management position with the team for which he starred. When he screws up, his retired number suddenly looks awfully dingy.
  Right now, Rob Blake’s No. 4 in the Crypto.com Arena rafters is a reminder less of his days as the Kings’ rock-solid defenseman than of a flurry of executive mistakes – including one big whopper – that has set his franchise back significantly and for a while appeared to put his

  CLEVELAND — After he was released by a third team within a year, Amir Garrett was pitching in Triple-A with the Angels when he got some career-altering advice from an old friend.
  Garrett, a 32-year-old left-hander who broke in the majors as Joey Votto’s teammate with the Cincinnati Reds, said Votto gave him the message he needed to hear last month.
  “You’re too good not to be in the big leagues,” Votto told Garrett.

  EL SEGUNDO –– Of the myriad quandaries the Kings will confront this summer, the most significant might be their decision regarding underperforming pivot Pierre-Luc Dubois.
  That conundrum joins calls about the coaching staff, team management and on-ice system, but a determination on Dubois carries temporal urgency as well as weighty long-term impact.
  Dubois signed an eight-year, $68 million contract last June amid trade negotiations that sent him to the Kings from the Winnipeg Je

  It’s a move with many adaptations, on and off the field, but through the early weeks the returns have been good.
  “You can see he’s adjusting to many things,” Galaxy defender Maya Yoshida said of Yamane. “Many things are new for him. For him, it’s hard, but it’s good to be fresh after a long time in J-League with the same club. Everythin

  Breed: Chihuahua
  Age: 8 years
  Sex: Neutered male
  Size: 11 pounds
  Romeo’s story: This sweet, slightly chubby boy is hugely affectionate, loving to give and get kisses and snuggles. He also loves lap time and being close to his foster person. His owner died, so Romeo needs a new home of his own. He walks nicely on a leash and knows “sit.” He gets along with other dogs and, while he likes all people, he is more comfortable with women. Romeo recently had his teeth cleaned.

• Clippers face questions after another season ends early

  The idea was to build a contender and titles will come. Bring in stars and high-level talent and meld them into a seasoned lineup and championships would follow.
  But in the years since the 213 Era began, championships haven’t materialized – only injuries and heartache. The Clippers experienced more of the same Friday night when they were pushed out of the NBA playoffs by the Dallas Mavericks, who completed a 4-2 series victory with a 114-101 romp in Game 6 of the first round.

• Judge’s order: Anaheim can’t require permits for transitional housing

  An Orange County judge has ruled Anaheim can’t require transitional or supportive housing operators to get permission from the city to open after the City Council denied a nonprofit from opening a group home in 2021.
  State law governs group homes, such as when they need to be licensed and how many people per bedroom. Anaheim’s laws required transitional or supportive housing with seven or more people to get a permit from the city to open in all types of neighborhood zones.

  While the vast majority of bulbs are meant for sunny locations, some are excellent candidates for the shade garden. Walking in my neighborhood the other day, I spotted the flowers of two bulb species that are durable and guaranteed to spread in shady locations.
  The first shade lover I spotted was Natal or bush lily (Clivia miniata). Its silky, pastel orange to vivid reddish orange trumpet blooms are breathtaking in late winter and early spring. They form in clusters with as many as ten flowers p

• Southern California real estate bosses slash hiring

  Southern California real estate bosses have dramatically cooled their hiring pace as high interest rates trim construction plans and home sales.
  My trusty spreadsheet found property-linked employment in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties was 755,900 in March 2024. That’s up only 2,200 jobs from February and 36% slower than the seasonal norm. In pre-pandemic 2015-19, an average 3,460 jobs were added in March.

  All eyes are on America’s college students.
  Over the past two weeks, a new wave of activism has unfolded at college campuses across the country — with students gathering in marches, demonstrations, and tent encampments to protest the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.
  The largely peaceful, pro-Palestine demonstrations have been upstaged by sometimes violent counter-protests, police force, and brought America’s college students to the forefront of the international issue.

  The Veuve Clicquot-branded umbrella within the pro-Palestinian encampment at UCLA Wednesday night was a telling touch.
  Its student owner didn’t bring it to camp as protection against the rain; it was dry in Westwood. No, the brolly brandisher just grabbed the thing, its deep yellow nylon canopy the same color as the fancy Champagne’s famous label, as she ran out her dorm-room door, late for the demo, just in case the Blue Meanies broke with the tear gas.

  As student protests become more volatile, with vandalism and skirmishes between protesters and police as well as continuing unlawful action by students and other protestors, it is becoming ever clearer that claims by students and faculty that they are engaging in non-violent direct action and free speech were false from the very beginning. Their strategy has been to create fear rather than dialogue, confrontation rather than mutual understanding.

  Today, I must get my David Letterman on and discuss the Top 10 reasons commercial real estate deals fail to close.
  As I have discussed in this column, ad nauseam, commercial real estate transactions are simply leases or purchases. We differ from our residential brethren, in that a large percentage of our transaction volume is leases.
  Specifically, some agents ply their entire trade negotiating leases either in renewal, direct or sublease fashion. These professionals are known as “tenant re
