    Re “No on Prop. 33. Expanding rent control will destroy California’s rental market“:
    As a landlord of almost 30 years I am going to give reasons with examples as to why rent control will always fail:
    1) If the owner can’t make a profit he/she will sell, and the next owner will raise the rent even more to recoup  their investment.
    2) With rent control landlords will always raise the rent the allowable amount because everybody else is and fear that the govern

    Woofy Acres dog rescue under criminal investigation, 114 dogs seized by San Bernardino County
    A criminal investigation is underway into a Southern California dog rescue where 114 canines were seized in mid-July by San Bernardino County Animal Care.
    County officials said the dogs, primarily large and aggressive pit bulls with severe health issues, were housed in “inadequate conditions” at the over-capacity kennel run by the Woofy Acres rescue operation in Pinon Hills.
    Because of their declining health and aggression, 93 dogs have been euthanized, while 19 others have been plac

    What Donald Trump and Kamala Harris need to do to win the presidential debate
    Just days ahead of the first — and perhaps only — debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, polls show an extremely close race. As such, this debate is likely each candidate’s last best chance to turn the tides in their favor.
    However, both Harris and Trump have vastly different objectives and goals they must achieve if they want to be considered the winner.
    Certainly, the most pressure will be on Harris, who must show that she can present a

    But Sunday’s matchup, against a Connecticut Sun team that boasts three starters standing over 6-foot-2, wasn’t one in which the shortest player in the Sparks’ starting lineup would be able to get simple shots off.

    INGLEWOOD – In Jim Harbaugh’s debut as Chargers coach, he did indeed bring a Big Ten-style offense with him. Problem was, for a half 3 yards and a cloud of nylon wasn’t getting it done.
    At least it wasn’t until J.K. Dobbins, um, warmed up.
    But maybe that’s not the best descriptive term. It was more than sufficiently warm at SoFi Stadium Sunday afternoon, the greenhouse effect from the translucent roof contributing to the 97 degree temperature and not many cooling br

    LOS ANGELES – Shohei Ohtani says he’s not focusing on hitting a historic 50 home runs and stealing 50 bases, a feat no one in Major League baseball has achieved in one season. To do so would put him in the best-ever conversation.
