  Los Angeles civil rights leaders are calling for an independent investigation into the New Year’s Eve shooting death of a man by an off-duty ICE agent at the apartment complex where both men resided.

  Three hundred feet isn’t very far. It’s the length of a football field. If you move 100 yards to the right or left, your perspective doesn’t change much, but go up in the air that same distance and it’s a whole different world you are looking down upon.
  Whether it’s Orange County freeways crisscrossing over each other, how late afternoon shadows cast or the pattern created by lights at night, a little height can make chaos look like structured order — symmetry

  It is easier to build strong children, statesman Frederick Douglass once observed, than to repair broken men.
  We have a decidedly mixed report card on this front in Orange County, as the county’s latest “Annual Report on the Conditions of Children” illustrates in dispassionate — if somewhat passion-inducing — facts and figures.
  There are several positive signs. More than 90% of all pregnancies include prenatal care; vaccination rates are high; kids have more access

• If California is an economic powerhouse, then where are the jobs?

  It’s a new year, a time for resolutions and fresh starts. Of course, only 9 percent of people who declare New year’s resolutions ultimately fulfill them. Most will give up before January ends. Such a dour outlook is a bit of a wet blanket, but it is apropos for California’s economic prospects in the coming year.

• New Year reset: Starting 2026 with clarity and a renewed inner compass

  January has a way of tempting us into big declarations. New goals. New routines. New commitments.
  This year will be different, we tell ourselves. And in many ways, it can be.
  But after working with leaders, professionals, and families over the years, I’ve noticed something important: A new year doesn’t feel new unless you feel renewed.
  Without an internal reset, you may find yourself repeating old patterns, reacting to old stress or carrying the emotional residue of last year straigh

  A president’s second term is four years long on the calendar, but in some ways, it’s only one year. The second year is absorbed by the midterm elections for all of Congress and one-third of the Senate, and that’s not conducive to getting anything done except fundraising.
  After the midterm elections are over, the focus gradually shifts to the next presidential election, and the incumbent president increasingly limps like a lame duck.

  The ruling was issued Friday by two judges on a three-judge panel for the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The judges found that the state’s policy of limiting open carry to counties with a population of less than 200,000 is inconsistent with the Second Amendment.
