    Galaxy fall to Sporting KC on own goal
    KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Los Angeles Galaxy defender Maya Yoshida had the only score on Sunday night, unfortunately, it was an own goal that led to a 1-0 victory for Sporting Kansas City — continuing the worst start by a defending champion in league history.
    The Galaxy (0-8-3) are still looking for their first victory 11 matches into the season and even a 3-0-2 record in five previous matchups with Sporting KC (3-7-1) didn’t help.
    Yoshida’s own goal came in the 13th minute.

    Dodgers’ rally falls short in loss to Braves
    ATLANTA — The last team bus left Truist Park for the Dodgers’ hotel at 2:20 a.m. Sunday, after the longest day of the season – a three-hour rain delay followed by a three-hour game that didn’t even start until after 10 o’clock Saturday night.
    Late nights like that often lead to hangovers, and the Dodgers managed just four hits in the first six innings Sunday night, coming up short in a 4-3 loss to the Atlanta Braves.

    Dodgers giving Michael Conforto time to work out of deep slump
    ATLANTA — A year ago, the Dodgers signed a veteran outfielder to a one-year contract and hit it big when Teoscar Hernandez had an All-Star season and won a Silver Slugger award as one of the National League’s most productive outfielders.
    This one isn’t working out as well.
    Michael Conforto signed a one-year, $17 million contract with the Dodgers last winter, stepping into Hernandez’s shoes (with Hernandez taking his new three-year, $66 million contract with him to right f

    Who remembers the times in our younger years when we were challenged to create a new way to serve ground beef? Instead of the same old meatballs, meatloaves, hamburgers or chili, I gambled on trying tacos, and my family loved them.

    Advocates push for mandatory retrofitting of existing homes in fire zones
    For years, fire prevention groups have pushed residents to harden homes in wildfire-prone areas.
    With the frequency and severity of such blazes on the rise, people need to replace old vents, roofs and windows with upgrades that protect their home against a whirlwind of heat and embers during a conflagration, they say.
    Yet limited incentives exist to spur homeowners to take on the expense of such upgrades.

    In a ruling Nov. 25 that was disclosed last week by the Sheriff’s Department, U.S. District Court Judge Jesus G. Bernal dismissed, with prejudice, a wrongful death lawsuit filed initially in August 2021 in Riverside by the father of 24-year-old Ch

So many of the policies coming out of the White House should strike one as absurdities that are either blatantly illegal or obviously won’t work. That hasn’t stopped Trump from trying and, where most can simply reflect for a moment to learn that those policies are idiotic, he has had to learn the hard way by way of market backlash and over 200 lawsuits.

    Several times over the course of my career as a financial advisor, I have recommended that clients reenter the workforce due to a projected shortfall in retirement income.

    Missouri Republicans may take their tax-cutting efforts to new heights this year as lawmakers consider exempting profits from the sale of stocks, bonds and real estate from state income taxes.
    Part of a broader push to eliminate the state income tax altogether, legislation making its way through the Capitol would provide an unprecedented benefit to the wealthy by excluding capital gains, the long-term earnings from the sale of assets. If approved, tax experts say, t
