• Mookie Betts will join Dodgers teammates for White House visit

  05-04-2025 00:25 via ocregister.com
  
  PHILADELPHIA — Mookie Betts will take part in the Dodgers’ White House visit on Monday.
  “I’m going to go,” he said Friday. “It’s not a political stance that I’m taking. I know no matter what I say and what I do people will take it as political. But that’s definitely not what it is. This is about an accomplishment that the Dodgers were able to accomplish last year.”

  06-04-2025 23:09 via ocregister.com
  
  America needs a new frontier. It already faces outward, boldly advancing onto the oceans and into space. It now needs to look inward inward, toward the empty federal lands that occupy nearly a third of the country. There, American pioneers can create places where innovation flourishes, business thrive, and growing families find comfortable homes: Freedom Cities.
  President Trump proposed Freedom Cities in a campaign video released March 3, 2023, back when he was still campaigning for the job that

  I’m dreading the date of June 9.
  That’s when former Supervisor Andrew Do will be sentenced to a scant five years for wreaking havoc on Orange County’s finances by directing more than $10 million to a charity affiliated with his daughter. He’s getting preferential treatment – the prison term should be way more than this.

  NEW YORK — Alex Ovechkin fired just about the perfect version of his signature one-timer that has defined his remarkable career. When the puck hit the net, it made him the top goal scorer in NHL history.
  Ovechkin scored his 895th career goal on Sunday in the Washington Capitals’ game against the New York Islanders, beating fellow Russian Ilya Sorokin on a power play with 12:34 left in the second period. He took a perfect pass from longtime teammate Tom Wilson and fired an absolute la

  PHILADELPHIA – This is not the kind of flashback to 2024 the Dodgers want.
  But after last year’s season-long run of injuries to their starting pitchers, there was a certain deja vu feeling Sunday when they placed left-hander Blake Snell on the injured list with shoulder inflammation.
  Snell made two starts, going five innings against the Detroit Tigers in the home opener then going four innings and giving up five unearned runs against the Braves on Wednesday.

• Trump needs a better game plan for cutting government

  06-04-2025 17:00 via ocregister.com
  
  For those of us who are calling balls and strikes on the Trump administration, the idea of creating a Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to slash wasteful spending seems like a potential home run. The federal government is out of control, with its $36-trillion debt and its alphabet soup of agencies. But instead of scoring runs, DOGE is causing immense political pushback.
  The project, led by billionaire Elon Musk, has been heavy on theatrics and light on precision. Seeing Musk jump around

  For years, California’s Democratic leaders have tried to attribute the state’s high gas prices to “gouging.”

  “There is no economic evidence of widespread price gouging, price manipulation, undefined price residuals, surcharges, or profiteering by California refiners,” he wrote.

  Newspapers have beguiled me from an early age. The summer I smuggled a kitten home from day camp, even though I knew my mother was terrified of cats, I placed the gold and white kitty in a shoe box lined with newspaper and covered her with my camp T-shirt.
  With the kitten happily hidden in my bedroom closet, I liked thinking about her snuggled up in the news, surely a safe place.
  At the time, we had two newspapers a day, the Virginian Pilot in the morning and the Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch in the l

  I only knew her as “the frosting lady” – the sultry woman on the cover of “Whipped Cream & Other Delights,” a record my dad owned and mom tolerated.
