Back-to-Back Mass Shootings that Left 18 Dead REUTERS | CONTRIBUTED

deadly rampage by a 67-year-old suspect in Northern California was likely an act of workplace violence, authorities said on Tuesday, offering fresh details about the second in back-to-back mass shootings that killed 18 people and horrified the nation. In two separate shootings within three days, 11 people were killed at a Los Angeles-area dance hall and seven others were murdered at two farms in the seaside town of Half Moon Bay near San Francisco. Authorities said they still were trying to determine motives for both shootings. Preliminary evidence indicated that the massacre in Half Moon Bay was a case of workplace violence and that the gunman had used a legally-owned weapon. In the Southern California shootings, officials have declined to make any statement regarding a possible motive.

The suspects in both attacks are men of retirement age, much older than typical perpetrators of deadly mass shootings that have become routine in the United States. On Monday, a gunman in Half Moon Bay opened fire on employees at Mountain Mushroom Farm, where he had previously worked, and Concord Farms, about a mile away. The suspect, 67-year-old Chunli Zhao, was taken into custody later after he was found sitting in his vehicle, parked outside a sheriff ’s station. Authorities said they believe he had come to surrender. He killed seven and wounded one, and all of his victims were Hispanic and Asian Americans, San Mateo County Sheriff Christina Corpus told reporters on Tuesday. “All of the evidence we have points to this being the instance of workplace violence,” Corpus said. Zhao had threatened a co-worker in the past, according to court records obtained by the San Fran-

cisco Chronicle. In 2013, a roommate and colleague at a San Jose restaurant sought and secured a restraining order after telling a judge that Zhao had assaulted him and made death threats, the newspaper reported on Tuesday. The court order is no longer in effect. San Mateo County jail listed pending charges against Zhao as deliberate and premeditated murder, attempted murder in the first degree, and discharging a firearm with enhancement for “most violent felonies.” Zhao was expected to be formally charged on Wednesday and was due to make his first appearance in court at the Hall of Justice in Redwood City at 1:30 pm on Wednesday. In a statement on Tuesday, President Joe Biden renewed his call for Congress to ban assault weapons. “Even as we await further details on these shootings, we know the scourge of gun violence across America requires stronger action,”

he said. News of the Half Moon Bay shooting broke as detectives were still investigating the Saturday night shooting at Star Ballroom Dance Studio in Monterey Park, just east of downtown Los Angeles,

which occurred in the midst of the predominantly Asian American city’s Lunar New Year celebrations. Authorities identified the gunman as Huu Can Tran, 72, and said

Beading is taught to teens at Soboba SOBOBA BAND OF LUISEÑO INDIANS | CONTRIBUTED

oboba Tribal T.A.N.F. offers regular cultural and educational workshops for youths that are part of their programs. Tribal members from the Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians, Santa Rosa Band of Cahuilla Indians and the Cahuilla Band of Indians meet regularly to participate in sessions that introduce them to something new or help them learn more about it. On Jan. 21, about 20 teens met at Soboba’s multipurpose room to be taught how to bead a hand lanyard, which can be used as a keychain. Teachers Kathy and Lexi Lopez facilitated the fourhour workshop that included a lunch break of grilled hamburgers and hot dogs. Kathy and her daughter Lexi have had their own beading business for several years and Kathy said they were asked to teach the workshop because of a strong interest in having the

Each beader was given the creative freedom to choose their own colors and make their own design which produced one-ofa-kind and very personal lanyards.

atural gas prices are going to be shockingly high for January, according to the Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas). The utility sent out warning emails to their customers that read, "There's no easy way to put it, January bills are going to be higher than usual". They attribute the historic prices to a culmination of things: widespread below-average temperatures, high consumption, reduced natural gas flows, and pipeline constraints. Higher prices are anticipated during winter months, but the culmination of outside factors has created a record-breaking price hike this year. Usually ranging from $5-$6/dekatherm, then growing to $8/dekatherm last year and now this year, prices soared as high as $50/dekatherm. To give you some perspective,

emet has a new city manager. Mark Prestwich was appointed by a unanimous vote during a special Hemet City Council meeting Friday, Jan. 13. “We are happy we have a new city manager,” Mayor Joe Males said by phone Monday, Jan. 16. “We hope to change the face of the city for good.” Prestwich will start his new role Feb. 21. He’ll earn $273,000 a year, City Attorney Steven Pacifico Graham said during the meeting. He will be the 14th person to serve as Hemet’s city manager since 2000. According to Prestwich’s LinkedIn page, he has worked in several California cities. Prestwich served as a city manager for Palos Verdes Estates for a year, St. Helena for nearly five years and Nevada City for three and assistant to the city

manager in Sacramento for eight years and Napa for almost seven years. He attended Hemet High School, according to LinkedIn. The previous city manager, Christopher Lopez, resigned in June after a series of evaluations by the council in closed session between April and June. Lopez’s June resignation letter gave no clue as to why he departed the city. Former mayor — now the mayor pro tem — Malcom Lilienthal said in June that he couldn’t discuss Lopez’s departure because it involved a “personnel matter.” Since then, Hemet Police Chief Eddie Pust has served as acting city manager. Males said he’ll be happy to see Pust return to his normal duties, allowing him “to give 100% for his police force.” “I’m just excited to bring someone who has ties to the community,” Lilienthal said, “I think that’s a really positive thing, that he grew up here.”

NEWS BRIEFS RIVERSIDE COUNTY WOMAN ARRESTED IN FATAL HIT-AND-RUN A Riverside County woman has been arrested in connection with a fatal hit-and-run earlier this month. On Jan. 12, 47-year-old Rita Quintana of Nuevo struck a pedestrian on Montgomery Avenue north of Nuevo Road, the California Highway Patrol said in a release. Quintana was behind the wheel of a blue Chevrolet Malibu at about 7 p.m. when the collision occurred, after which she immediately fled on Montgomery Avenue, according to the CHP. She was taken into

custody on Wednesday after investigators were able to connect her car with “critical pieces of evidence on scene” that indicated the the vehicle make, model and color, authorities said. She was booked into the Robert Presley Detention Center on charges of hit-and-run causing fatal injuries. She is being held in lieu of $75,000 bail. The CHP is seeking additional witnesses who may have observed the incident. They are asked to call 951-637-8000. Cameron Kiszla

AIRCRAFT GOES DOWN IN HEMET RESIDENTIAL AREA, ONE DEAD A small aircraft crashed in a residential area in Hemet Sunday, killing the lone occupant aboard, authorities said.

Upon arrival, they located a small ultralight

JOB TRAINING CENTER BREAKS GROUND Construction has begun on a Perris facility that will train people for manufacturing jobs. The Skills Training and Job Placement Center will cover 13,700 square feet on a vacant parcel owned by the city at the northeast corner of 1st and D streets, according to a statement on the city’s website. Rep. Mark Takano, D-Riverside, city council members, and representatives from the California and Riverside workforce development boards were among those who participated in a groundbreaking ceremony on Jan. 19. Perris received $6.5 million in federal funding, most of it from the U.S. Department of Commerce, Economic Development Administration, to pay for the project. When completed, the two-story building will include confer-

ence rooms, replacement services, and classrooms that can be used by non-profits, community colleges, and universities for training. “This is a huge milestone for our community, and we have overcome many obstacles and challenges to get here,” said City Manager Clara Manager in the statement. “But we hope to be a support system throughout our region and provide residents with trades skills training all the way to job placement.” Training in welding, cybersecurity, aircraft mechanics, electronics, robotics, and logistics/ supply chain management are among the programs that will be offered. The training center is expected to be completed in the spring of 2024. Ceci Partridge

Search warrant served on Monterey Park mass shooter's home in Hemet CBSNEWS.COM | CONTRIBUTED

search warrant was served at the residence of the suspected mass shooter in Monterey Park who killed 11 people and left nine others wounded, investigators confirmed Monday. Investigators identified the shooter as 72-year-old Huu Can Tran. The search warrant was served in the 5000 block of W. Florida Avenue in Hemet, according to officers. The Los Angeles County Sheriff 's Department executed the warrant. Inside the home, authorities found a .308-caliber rifle, several electronics, an item that police believed was allowed the manufacturing of homemade firearm suppressors and an unknown amount of .308 and 9mm ammo. Sheriff Robert Luna said that the reason officers have yet to determine the amount of ammunition because loose rounds were stored in containers found at the home. Police said that Tran visited the Hemet Police Department on January 7

and 9, alleging past fraud, theft, and poisoning allegations involving his family in the Los Angeles area 10 to 20 years ago. Tran stated he would return to the station with documentation regarding his allegations but never came back, police added. According to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, one of the four patients from Saturday night's shooting who was being treated at County-USC Medical Center has died from "extensive injuries," raising the death toll to 11 Monday. Another 10 people were injured in a mass shooting late Saturday in Monterey Park at a Lunar New Year

celebration that attracted thousands. A motive had yet to be officially determined Monday morning, a day after the gunman took his own life. At 10:22 p.m. Saturday, Monterey Park police officers responded to a report of shots fired at the Star Ballroom Dance Studio on the 100 block of West Garvey Avenue in Monterey Park, a city about eight miles east of Los Angeles. Then the suspect went to the city of Alhambra, about two miles away, and entered Lai Lai Ballroom and Studio, a similar dancehall. At least one person, a family member of the studio's owners, confronted the suspect, got into a physical strug-

gle with him. He was able to take away the suspect's gun before the suspect fled the scene. Sunday, around 11 a.m., Torrance police and Los Angeles County sheriff 's deputies surrounded a white van described as a vehicle of interest at Hawthorne and Sepulveda Boulevards near Del Amo Mall, about 30 miles south of Monterey Park. At about 12:40 p.m., a SWAT team swarmed the vehicle and searched the interior. The sheriff 's department said the suspect shot and killed himself inside the van. Detectives found evidence in the van, including a gun, linking him to both locations. No further suspects were sought.

Regal to close six theaters in Southern California BRIAN CONTRERAS | CONTRIBUTOR

ant to catch up on "Women Talking," "The Fabelmans" or “Avatar: The Way of Water" before the Oscars? Your list of places to go just got a bit shorter. Six Regal Cinemas theaters across the Southland are set to shut down, according to a new filing that the chain's parent company, Cineworld Group, submitted Tuesday as part of its bankruptcy proceedings. Impacted theaters include the Sherman Oaks Galleria 16 in Los Angeles; Metro Point in Costa Mesa; Yorba Linda & IMAX in Yorba Linda; Escondido Stadium 16 & IMAX in Escondido; Hemet Cinema 12 in Hemet; and Parkway Plaza Stadium 18 & IMAX in El Cajon. The Southern California locations are among 39 that comprise a list of "Leases to Be Rejected" in the Cineworld filing. The closures are expected to begin in February. Theaters in Berkeley and Las Vegas will also be affected. Regal outlets in Calabasas, Irvine, Anaheim Hills and San Francisco have already

been shut down, according to Insider, which was the first to note the shutdowns. Cineworld, the second-largest theater operator in the world, filed for bankruptcy protection last September. According to its latest filing, the firm is seeking an order authorizing it to reject unexpired real estate leases as well as "abandon certain equipment, fixtures, furniture, or other personal property" located therein. Cineworld reported $10.35 billion in net debt as of late June. The company said it had secured $1.94 billion in new financing to continue running while it reorganized

under Chapter 11 of the bankruptcy code. Cineworld's legal representatives did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The COVID-19 pandemic proved a trying time for theaters, which — like many other players in the events industry — struggled with lost revenue and absent customers, as well as shifts in the release schedules for money-making blockbusters. The rise of streaming has also transformed where and how consumers watch movies. Cineworld's American theaters are "a significant contributing factor to their current financial challeng-

es," the company wrote in its Tuesday filing. "Primarily due to the impact of deferred rent payments, the Debtors estimate that the average monthly rent obligations per theater increased by almost 30% year-to-date July 2022 compared to full-year 2019." This isn't Regal's first rodeo. Following a period of overdevelopment in the '90s, the chain declared bankruptcy in 2001, only to emerge a year later having reorganized. Cineworld, a British company, subsequently agreed to buy Regal in 2017 with an acquisition deal that valued the chain at $3.6 billion. This story originally appeared in Los Angeles Times.

The Cover Up SUSAN BECKETT | DWELLING PLACE CITY CHURCH

nce upon a time there was an incredible sculptor named Alceo Dossena (1878-1937) who was so skilled at reproducing Renaissance art that his agent sold his works as authentic antiques - unknown to Dossena. But Dossena discovered the fraud and sued the crooked art dealer for a part of the profits. This made Dossena and his agent so famous that at an auction of his works in New York, each buyer was given an official document that certified the purchase was a “genuine fake.“ Scandals & cover-ups have been around since Genesis! Did you know that more than a third of the men who have occupied the White House have been accused of sexual misconduct? One of the more bizarre tales come to us from President Harding, who had an affair and fathered a child while in office. His wife was aware of her husbands hanky-panky and when Harding died from a case of poisoning, rumors circulated that it was his wife, Florence, who poisoned the President. President Johnson had so many affairs that he once compared himself to John F. Kennedy, claiming, “I have had more women by accident than he has had on purpose.” Some say the sex lives of our political leaders have no bearing on their ability to do their jobs, but the Bible tells us that “whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much.” Unfaithfulness is a big deal. I’m always surprised when I hear people say

stuff like, “The Bible is so boring. It’s just a bunch of theological mumbo-jumbo that happened thousands of years ago.” Nothing could be further from the truth. It’s actually an amazing book filed with relevant truth for every occasion. If you are thinking that some of our own presidents’ sex scandals are bad, check out this salacious sex scandal from 3,000 years ago. King David sees a drop-dead gorgeous chick (Bathsheba) taking a bath on her roof. He wants her but she is married. Oh well - he is the King after all. He sends for her, has sex with her and dah-dah - tabloid headlines: Bathsheba is pregnant. Her husband, Uriah, is away at war so David sends for him - the plot thickens. David is hoping he will come home and sleep with Bathsheba and will ultimately believe the child is his. But Uriah is an honorable man and pitches a tent outside his home. He can’t bring himself to eat & sleep with his wife while others are out fighting the battle. Poor David. What to do? So he gets Uriah drunk over dinner the following evening and sends him home again - but Uriah crashes in his own tent again. So more plot-thickening. David now feels he has no choice but to have Uriah rubbed out on the battlefield - and he does just that. Uriah is dead problem solved. Not quite so fast. Now Nathan the prophet stands before King David and confronts him with his sin. David repents and cries out to the Lord for mercy. He gets it, but the consequence of his sin is the death of his baby. Two lives were lost because

SUSAN BECKETT | Courtesy Photo. David sinned - this should remind all of us that God is never a party to man-made cover-ups. Trying to cover up our sins is like the drunk husband who snuck up the stairs late one night. He looked in the bathroom mirror and bandaged the cuts & bruises he’d gotten in a fight, then climbed into bed, smiling at the thought he’d pulled one over on his wife. But when morning came, he opened his eyes and there she stood, “You were drunk last night weren’t you?!” “How did you know?” he asked. “Well, she replied, “If you weren’t, then who put all those band-aids on the bathroom mirror?” But our David truly “got it” and would later go on to declare that he had sinned against God Himself We find him writing this in Psalm 32: “Blessed is the person whose sins are forgiven and whose wrongs are pardoned.” David ditched his defiant attitude and got right with God, and that required a change of heart. The end result? God calls David, “A man after His own heart.” Selah! --

Monterey Park shooting victims named; police seek motive AMY TAXIN, STEFANIE DAZIO, TERRY TANG AND BRIAN MELLEY | AP NEWS

he 11 people killed in a dance hall shooting ranged in age from 57 to 76, the Los Angeles County coroner’s office said Tuesday in releasing the names of the dead as investigators kept probing for a motive in the worst shooting in county history. Sheriff Robert Luna called the gunman, 72-year-old Huu Can Tran, a “mad man” and said investigators were looking into whether he had relationships with the people who were shot at the Star Ballroom Dance Studio. Tran fired 42 rounds from a semi-automatic weapon Saturday night, killing 11 people and wounding nine at the ballroom popular with older Asian Americans. He then drove to another nearby dance hall where an employee wrested a modified 9 mm submachine gunstyle weapon away from him, Luna said. Tran fatally shot himself

Sunday as officers surrounded the van he was inside. A handgun was recovered from the van, which matched descriptions of the vehicle he used to get away from the dance studio. The shooting was the nation’s fifth mass killing of the year and the deadliest attack since May 24, when 21 people were killed in an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas. As Monterey Park residents and Asian Americans reeled from the violence Monday, a gunman in Northern California killed seven people at two farms. It marked the third mass shooting in California in eight days. The names of the six women and five men killed in Monterey Park were released Tuesday. All but one were in their 60s and 70s. Tran once frequented the ballroom and another dance hall he later targeted and griped about the way he thought people treated him there, a man who identified himself as a longtime friend told The Associated Press. Tran of-

federal judge said Monday that he couldn’t make sense of a critical provision in a new law that punishes doctors for spreading false information about COVID-19 to their patients. Senior Judge William Shubb called its definition of misinformation “nonsense” during a hearing in the United States District Court in Sacramento. The Legislature approved the law, AB 2098, last year and it went into effect January 1. It says doctors who share false information about COVID-19 treatment options and vaccines, whether they did so deliberately or not, could be disciplined for “unprofessional conduct.” That

could lead to them losing their license. A group of doctors, along with two organizations, are suing state officials in separate cases, saying the new law violates free speech protections under the First Amendment. They asked Shubb, who has served on the court for over 30 years, to halt enforcement of the law until the cases are resolved in court. While not revealing how he would decide on that matter, Shubb on Monday foreshadowed what could become an argument for the law’s demise. Specifically, the measure defines misinformation as “false information that is contradicted by contemporary scientific consensus contrary to the standard of care.” Standard of care refers to treatment that is

fered to teach new women at both clubs how to dance for free so that he would have a partner. Tran was perpetually distrustful and paranoid and would regularly complain that people at the clubs didn’t like him, according to the former friend who requested anonymity to speak about Tran because he wanted to avoid the media spotlight. “He always cast a dubious eye toward everything. He just didn’t trust people at all,” the friend said. “He always complained to me

that the instructors ... kept distance from him, and according to what he said, many people spoke evil of him.” Investigators were also looking into reports Tran made twice this month to police in the town where he lived that family members tried to poison him, defrauded him and stole from him a decade or two ago in the LA area, Hemet police spokesperson Alan Reyes told The Associated Press. Tran never returned

Judge questions clarity of new California law targeting doctors who share COVID-19 misinformation STEPHEN HOBBS | CONTRIBUTOR

POLITICAL BRIEFS

“California isn’t waiting to act – we’re moving aggressively to modernize how we capture and store water to future-proof our state against more extreme cycles of wet and dry,” said Governor Gavin Newsom. “We’re expediting projects across the state to maximize stormwater capture and storage above and below ground during times like these, reshaping our water systems for the 21st century and beyond.” Leveraging the more than $8.6 billion committed by Governor Newsom and the Legislature in the last two budget cycles to build water resilience, the state is taking aggressive action to prepare for the impacts of climate-driven extremes in weather on the state’s water supplies: • Advancing clear, ambitious targets to build drought and flood resilience, including increasing annual groundwater recharge capacity by 500,000 acre-feet • Fast-tracking groundwater recharge efforts by streamlining permits • Maximizing stormwater capture through new

projects • Supporting reservoir repair and expansion to boost water storage above and below ground • Modernizing water conveyance Infrastructure across the state, including the Delta Conveyance Project This budget funding includes $500 million that will be provided in 202526 to help ensure strategic water storage projects can be completed. In the 202324 state budget, Governor Newsom is proposing an additional $202 million for flood protection and $125 million for drought related actions. Last week, the Administration announced two developments to streamline permitting for stormwater capture efforts. The Department of Water Resources and the State Water Board announced the first permit approved under a new pilot program to accelerate groundwater recharge, for a project in Merced County, and the State Water Board announced its first five-year temporary groundwater storage permit for a project in Sacramento County.

The California Supreme Court on Monday overturned the murder convictions and death sentence for a man who killed three people and committed a series of other crimes in San Diego in 1985. The court ordered a new trial for Billy Ray Waldon, ruling unanimously that a lower court judge improperly allowed Bill Ray Waldon to represent himself at trial despite testimony at an earlier competency hearing that he suffered from paranoia and a thought disorder impairing his ability to think clearly. The judge overturned

a previous decision by another judge who had found Waldon wasn’t competent to represent himself. Authorities said that over a two-week period in December 1985, Waldon shot and killed Dawn Ellerman and set her home on fire, killing her teenage daughter, Erin Ellerman, by smoke inhalation. He also broke into an apartment and robbed and raped the resident, robbed four women of their purses, shot and killed Gordon Wells as he worked on a car and wounded a neighbor who

OPINION

Thursday, January 26 - Wednesday, February 01, 2023

DEAR ABBY ADVICE Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

DEAR ABBY: My brother passed away. He and my sister-in-law had a good marriage. A month after his funeral, my sister-in-law gave her kids their father’s clothes, instructed them to go through them, keep what they wanted or sell or donate the rest. It has been barely a year. Now she’s redecorating their house -- painting, taking down pictures and buying new furniture. This bothers me greatly. I’m so hurt that everything is being changed. It’s like she’s trying to erase him -- all within one year! Should I ask her why everything is being changed and disposed of so soon? And should I feel so hurt about this? - UNSURE HOW TO FEEL DEAR UNSURE: Your former sister-in-law appears to be more pragmatic than sentimental, and there is nothing wrong with that. She knew her late husband could no longer use his wardrobe, and saw no reason to keep the items hanging in the closet. That she offered his clothes to her children was appropriate. That she is now making changes to the house is not unusual. People are cautioned not to make “important decisions” for about a year after a spouse passes, and your former SIL has wisely refrained. If you want to ask her why she’s changing things, do so in a non-accusatory way that won’t offend her. I suspect that you are feeling hurt because you are still not ready to accept that your brother is gone forever. You might find it helpful to talk about it with someone with expertise in the grieving process.

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have been married for nine years. While we were dating, he was kind, considerate and loving. After we married, he turned into a chronic complainer, something he later confessed he had been hiding while we dated. He talks to me like I’m trash and then gets nice when he wants something. He complains about my grown children, my best friend and even if I leave for work a couple of minutes early. He is a miserable person. I cannot do anything to make him happy. I can’t take this anymore. He has taken the things away from me that I love -flowers, gardening, pets, books, friends, etc. I’m ready to leave, but he has cancer and I’d feel guilty. He is clear right now, but it will come back. I don’t want to stay. Life is too short to live this way. He has a great support system with his family. They would take care of him. My health has been affected by him and his terrible attitude. What do I do? - WORN-OUT WIFE DEAR WIFE: What you do now is consult a lawyer, pack your bags and leave before he worsens. Do not expect your husband to be grateful for any of the efforts you have made on his behalf during the course of your marriage. During the time you were dating, he hid from you the fact that he was a verbal abuser. Now you know he was a fraud. Don’t feel guilty for protecting yourself and reclaiming your life.

A DIFFERENT POINT OF VIEW

My New Hero MUHAMMAD NAEEM | CONTRIBUTOR

efinition of the word “hero” usually involves courage and sacrifice above and beyond the normal threshold. Classic meaning of hero is a “warrior that lives and dies in the pursuit of honor,” and fights with “brilliancy, efficiency, and ingenuity.” Then there are the superheroes; individuals that have been bestowed with extraordinary powers, who then fight crime and supervillains. In my opinion, the word hero should not apply to these superheroes, because they basically rely on their powers, which are usually part of their portfolio and there’s nothing special they do to get them. Thus, there is nothing extraordinary about their achievements. My take on a hero is someone who lives a simple and ordinary life, goes through his days without anything significant happening and then comes face to face with some sort of adversity, where he then has to reinvent himself, rise up to the challenge, find ways to deal with any and all obstacles, and achieve a resounding win. These so-called superheroes, like the Superman, already have the power to fight. They don’t have to reinvent themselves, or fight with ingenuity, be-

cause they just use their powers, and we already know that they are going to win. Anyone in their shoes can win easily, given their powers. You can’t call them a hero, because, well, they didn’t really do anything special. They just did what comes to them naturally. There is no adversity, because they are already superior to their foes. A true hero has to go from ordinary to extraordinary to actually win. Enter George Santos— stage right—my new hero! (You see what I did there, with the stage right, I mean. He is a Republican, so from the right. Get it!) I may even go as far as to call him a superhero, but in the true sense of the word, and not in the Marvel or DC sense. He was an ordinary man, living an uneventful life, who decided to run for Congress in 2020, and lost. Thus, the adversity was created, that he then had to overcome and win. At that time, he was living with his sister, probably sleeping on her sofa or the floor. He was poor, making only $50,000 or less (which is still more than what I make), and he had no significant achievements in his life to speak off. He knew that voters don’t respect poor candidates, or candidates that can’t boast of having done great things. People only pay attention to claims of

higher education, extraordinary wealth, and owning a lot of property, you know, like Donald Trump being a real estate mogul. He then embarked on a plan to reinvent himself and change into what I consider to be a true hero. He invented a portfolio of 13 properties and claimed to own two mansions, a condominium abroad, and other business investments. In reality, he owed rental money, was sued in court to recover rent and other debts by different parties, and was practically bankrupt. Yet, he built an image, not unlike that of the orange Republican Demigod. It worked, with additional help of his employment claims with Citigroup and Goldman Sachs. He may not have been rich in reality, but he looked good on paper. He never graduated from any college, but he claimed to have attended three famous and prestigious schools, and graduated at the top of his class, with scholarship for be-

ing a great athlete. Even though his athletic abilities could easily be questioned, people believed him. He was an election-denier, and MAGA crowd ate that up like dessert, along with his presence at January 6th insurrection. He was in with the Republican voters in a big way. He was competing against Jewish candidates, so he became Jew-ish. Almost the same thing, right?! He even invented a Jewish heritage, where his grandparents turned out to be holocaust survivors, who also suffered at the hands of other political atrocities. It was a winning strategy, where he endeared himself to Jewish voters by standing above the other Jewish candidates. Once the Republican side was placated, he then turned to the Democrats. He became gay, and the latest drag photos prove him to be right, maybe, who knows. He is half-

The Quixotic Quest for Reparations ROBERT WEISSBERG | AMERICAN THINKER

he idea of reparations for African Americans due to slavery began during the Civil War when General William Tecumseh Sherman, on January 16, 1865, issued Special Field Order No. 15 that called for allocating up to 40 acres and lending mules to newly emancipated slaves. President Lincoln’s successor, Andrew Johnson, ignored the order but the idea has nevertheless lived on. Not much happened on reparations until 1988 when Representative John Conyers introduced HR 40, a bill to establish a national commission to study reparations, but this bill died in committee. In 2019, however, with the murder of George Floyd and COVID-19 impact on communities of color, the dam has burst. The House of Representatives has again taken up the idea of a national commission and countless cities such as Boston, Chicago, San Francisco plus the state of California have created official reparations commissions. Evanston, Ill has awarded $25,000 each to 15 Black resident to make amends for past housing discrimination. The Jesuit Conference of Canada and the United States in 2021 pledged $100 million in reparations for descendants of those enslaved by the order. A major justification for reparations is to equalize the racial wealth divide. As the Brookings Institution, hardly a radical thinktank, put it, “Central to the idea of the American Dream

lies an assumption that we all have an equal opportunity to generate the kind of wealth that brings meaning to the words ‘life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.’” Will awarding large sums of money to Black people equalize the racial wealth gap? The answer is “no,” and the political damage of this effort will far outweigh its immense monetary cost. This wealth gap is massive and enduring. According to recent Federal Reserve data, the average White family has eight times the wealth of the average Black family with the average Black family’s wealth being 15% of what the average White family possesses. Nineteen percent of Black families have zero or negative net wealth. The gap extends far beyond income differences though this is significant. Differences exist in inheritances, multiple savings and investment plans, plus how Whites gravitate toward investments that appreciate over time, especially home ownership and education. Can reparations close or at least narrow this gulf? Much, naturally, depends on the size of this wealth transfer, and payment details while per person award figures have ranged from a about a quarter million to, in San Francisco, five million. Nevertheless, regardless of the final sum, given what we know about how people manage money, there is little cause for optimism. Spending among Blacks will, for political reasons, likely be discretionary versus restricted to “good things.” Recipients also

cannot be forced to heed advice from financial experts. Given this discretion, there can be no rule that money only goes towards diminishing gaps in assets. Conceivably, at least some Blacks will prefer spending reparations on short-term items that rapidly depreciate. This likelihood is hardly hypothetical. One study shows a distinct proclivity among affluent Blacks for spending to achieve “style” and social standing, notably designer luxury brands. Data also show that Blacks are less likely than Whites to save money -- half of all Blacks have no retirement accounts. Meanwhile, studies of all-too-common bankruptcies among super-rich professional athletes (many of whom are African American) revealed a weakness for conspicuously showing off, for example, gifting exotic cars to families and friends, over-the-top personalized jewelry, and hosting bigtime nightclub extravagances. Even a half-million-dollar windfall can vanish in a year or two, as these bankruptcies illustrate. Similar evidence of misspending comes from those winning mega lot-

teries. A website even catalogues the worst disasters. Accounts often tell of winners being overgenerous to charities, extravagant vacations, ill-advised business ventures and otherwise acting foolishly. Particularly troublesome was the difficulty of saying “no” to friends and family. Eventually, everything ended thanks to going broke. Indeed, the tribulations of the new super-rich are sufficiently common that psychologists even have a name for it -- the sudden wealth syndrome. It hardly helps that these recipients will often have limited experience managing large sums versus just paying monthly bills. Building a diversified stock portfolio and then patiently waiting years for it to double will not be easy. It might be too tempting to wait decades to pass wealth to progeny. The financially unsophisticated may also struggle with the ultimate safe investment for building wealth -- buying a house. Will those receiving a $250,000 check and then spending half on a down payment for a half million-dollar house be

with documentation he promised to provide. “Our investigators will be looking at all those factors to see if it contributed to the madness that occurred,” Luna told reporters. Sheriff ’s deputies from Los Angeles County searched Tran’s home in a gated senior community in Hemet, a little over an hour’s drive from the site of the massacre. Officers found a .308-caliber rifle, an unknown number of bullets and evidence he was making homemade firearm suppressors that muffle the sound of the weapons. Tran lived in The Lakes at Hemet West, a gated community off a busy road with a view of snow-covered mountains. The development has a par-3 golf course, shuffleboard court and a dance floor. Properties listed for sale ranged from $45,000 to $222,000. A neighbor, Pat Roth, told Los Angeles television station KNBC that Tran said he was a ballroom dance instructor in the past and would sometimes show up to dances at the senior community. “Didn’t seem like he’d harm a fly, you know. He wasn’t a big guy,” Roth said. “He’d pet your dog when you walked by.” Hemet police had no re-

Black and half-Latino. He was patient-zero for COVIDA. He survived having a brain tumor. He was a victim of many crimes. Democrats were all in, after all, he represented all the causes that the Democrats live to, and love to, fight. Just to sweeten the deal further, for all voters, he played the sympathy card. His parents had survived the 9/11 attacks and his mother died from the effects. His friends were killed in the hate-attack on a gay club. There were those previously mentioned holocaust survival stories of his grandparents. How could anyone look at this candidate and not feel

Even though, almost everything was fiction, George stood behind all of his stories and worked the crowds. He raised money by posing his friend as Kevin McCarthy’s campaign-manger. He pledged his soul to the Devil to raise funds for his campaign. He may even be under obligation to foreign agents, but do we really care?! This man went from being a nobody, to someone big. The whole world is talking about him. We have forgotten about the chaos that the Congress went through with 15 votes for the Speaker of the House, we have no special concern about the top-secret documents

found in Joe Biden’s garage, no one is talking about the Ukraine war any longer, even Donald Trump and Elon Musk—two other greatest liars the world has ever known, but not on-par with George Santos—have lost their shine in the face of the spotlight being on George Santos. Such is the achievement of this simple, ordinary man, who went from being a total loser, to a great winner, against all odds. He is a true hero. He is my new hero. There are calls for him to resign, but after all that hard work that he put into winning his congressional seat, why should he give all that up, just because “haters are going to hate.” He deserves all the benefits of having won a hard battle.

letter explaining his decision. He then defended it with an eye towards a challenge under the First Amendment. “To be clear, this bill does not apply to any speech outside of discussions directly related to COVID-19 treatment within a direct physician-patient relationship,” Newsom said. Still, opponents of the rule warned of its “chilling effect.” One of the doctors challenging the law is Dr. Tracy Høeg. After the hearing, Høeg said she was afraid doctors would hold back information when talking with their patients because of the potential to be disciplined. “If this really is about the standard of care then we already have laws in place that will enforce that and protect patients,” Høeg said. Jenin Younes, an attorney representing Høeg and five other doctors in one of the cases, said during the hearing that the law was “about silencing doctors that have a different view from the state.” Younes works for the New Civil Liberties Alliance,

a Washington, DC-based organization that strives to “tame the unlawful power of state and federal agencies,” according to its website. Both the northern and southern California affiliates of the American Civil Liberties Union support the challenges to the law, saying the rule is unnecessary and could make doctors less likely to speak openly with their patients. The Medical Board of California and the Osteopathic Medical Board of California have not disciplined anybody under the new rule as of Monday, communications representatives said in emails. Shubb during the hearing also challenged arguments made by Younes and the attorney handling the second case. After Younes said the law would be used to target people who don’t follow along with what the government wants, Shubb replied that one couldn’t know that just by reading it. “The statute is not clear on its face,” Younes replied. “That’s true,” Shubb said, before chuckling. of three counts of first-degree murder and a host of other crimes, including attempted murder, arson, burglary, rape and robbery. The Supreme Court reversed Waldon’s conviction and sentence sent the case back to the lower court for further proceedings. in fact, reparations and since their impact is uncertain, why spend trillions more? Yes, many Blacks will find pushing for reparations psychologically satisfying and there is always the hope of a massive windfall, but the pushback from opponents may well be costly. It is hard to imagine Democratic candidates winning majorities by embracing an unpopular policy with scant likelihood of achieving its goal while costing hundreds of billions if not trillions. There are better ways to overcome the tribulations of African Americans.

cords of any incidents involving Tran in the community or calls for service at his home, Reyes said. Authorities have shared little about Tran, who owned a trucking company in Monterey Park from 2002 to 2004, according to California business records. He was once arrested for unlawful possession of a firearm in 1990 and had a limited criminal history, Luna said. The sheriff could not immediately say if a gun arrest at a time when firearms laws were different would have barred him from owning weapons. Tran’s ex-wife told CNN they married soon after they met at Star Ballroom, where he offered to teach her to dance for her free. He would become upset if she missed a step dancing, but was never violent toward her, she said. They divorced five years later, citing irreconcilable differences, Los Angeles Superior Court records show. The couple did not have children, said they had no community property and neither side had to pay alimony. While she is named in court papers, she asked not to be identified because of the sensitivity of the case. The women killed were: Diana Tom, 70, Muoi Ung, 67, My Nhan, 65, Lilian Li, 63, Hong Jian, 62 and Xiujuan Yu, 57, according

to Los Angeles coroner’s office. The men were: Chia Yau, 76, Ming Ma, 72, Yu Kao, 72, Valentino Alvero, 68, and Wen Yu, 64. Tran may have gone on to kill many more if not for the heroics of Brandon Tsay, who was working at a dance club in nearby Alhambra when Tran entered about 20 minutes after the Monterey Park massacre. Tsay reacted swiftly and disarmed Tran in a short struggle captured on surveillance camera at the Lai Lai Ballroom. “The person was cocking his gun,” said his father, Tom Tsay, co-owner of the studio. “He saw the opportunity and he just jumped.” Gov. Gavin Newsom met Monday with Tsay, 26, who works part-time at the dance club founded by his grandparents, and said he was a true hero. “This remarkable young man who without any hesitation — though with moments of fear — took it upon himself to save countless lives,” Newsom said. “Who knows how many lives he saved.” Brandon Tsay said he was proud of his actions but did not want to discuss them so the focus would stay on the victims. “Some of these people I know personally,” a somber Tsay said outside his family’s home. They come to our studio. It’s a tightknit community, and I hope they can heal from this tragic event”.

had heard the shots and went to help Wells, authorities said. Waldon was finally arrested six months later. At trial, Waldon claimed

federal agents had framed him for the crimes “to thwart his efforts to promote world peace, spread new languages, and advance Cherokee autonomy,” according to the Supreme Court’s ruling. He also claimed CIA agents had monitored him. A jury convicted Waldon

tees increased wealth. There is also the possibility of a renewed effort by swindlers to target the newly rich. Even without all the money that would flow from reparations, many Blacks, especially those with limited education, are often victimized by the lure of easy money. According to one study, 41% of African Americans say they were targeted by scammers, and this figure would undoubtedly soar after billions were distributed via reparations. Tellingly, many of these fraud artists were fellow African Americans, often claiming a common religious affil-

iation and played on current issues of particular relevance to Blacks, notably support for the Black Lives Matter movement. The quest for reparations is a risky fool’s errand. The awaiting legal problems that derive from laws banning racial discrimination cannot be swept aside by appeals to historic White guilt. Nor are the administrative details, for example, who exactly qualifies and standards of proof of slave ancestry, similarly easily resolved. Moreover, reparations paid over decades can create dependency across multiple genera-

tions, a sure-fire recipe for yet more racial strife. Most of all, the public soundly rejects the entire idea of reparations and these sentiments are unlikely to soften, regardless of how many commissions are created. This public antipathy is also likely to increase as these commission devise ever and ever larger “payment due” bills for slavery -- $14 trillion in one case -- when hardly any Americans alive today have ancestors who owned slaves. The reparations crusade can become an electoral disaster for the Democratic Party. Its candidates may

be pressured to take stands on the issue, and the choice will be a difficult one. That Blacks comprise a significant voting bloc in several primary states might make it tempting to favor this massive wealth transfer even though the chance of it coming into being is nil (President Biden has already expressed his support). But this pandering may well alienate millions of opponents, many of whom believe that Whites have done more than enough to help Blacks. For them, the trillions spent on public welfare, the war on poverty, and education plus affirmative action are,

When asked to more specifically discuss statements that could violate the rule, Liska declined to do so, saying it was dependent on the circumstances of each individual patient. Then how do you expect doctors to know what may violate the law? Shubb countered. The California Medical Association supported the measure, which was introduced last year by San Jose Democrat Evan Low. It said the “spread of misinformation and disinformation about COVID-19 vaccines has weakened public confidence and placed lives at serious risk.” When Newsom signed the bill in September he called it “narrowly tailored” in a

Brazil’s Marcelo Golm sports a well-earned reputation among fight fans as a punishing finisher, boasting a remarkable 100% stoppage rate replete with seven knockouts and three submissions. He has demonstrated that fight-ending ability in spades since joining BELLATOR, scoring a firstround knockout of Billy Swanson in his promotional debut before submitting Davion Franklin with a rear-naked choke in the third round of their thrilling BELLATOR 283 scrap. The win over Franklin catapulted the 30-year-old into title contention, and at BELLATOR 293, Golm will look to solidify his status as a top contender in the division with an emphatic victory over fellow behemoth Daniel James. Nicknamed “The American Predator,” Daniel James stunned the MMA world at BELLATOR 288 with a thunderous, come-from-behind knockout of then-No. 5-ranked Tyrell Fortune in the second round of their heavyweight clash.

The hulking James, 41, continues to prove that age is just a number; the win over Fortune was James’ fourth straight victory, all four of which came by way of knockout. Proudly representing Chicago, James will get the opportunity to prove that the result of his first BELLATOR fight in eight years was no fluke and assert himself as a veritable title contender when the cage door closes behind him and Golm in Temecula on March 31. “Alpha” Cat Zingano is one of mixed martial arts’ pioneering female fighters, but she has no plans on closing the book on her impressive résumé just yet. Zingano, 40, became a standout in wrestling before transitioning to MMA; she was a multi-time All-American wrestler at the NCAA Division III level, where she also became a national champion. The jiu-jitsu black belt has continued achieving success since joining BELLATOR in 2020, rattling off three straight wins in dominant fashion over Gabrielle

Holloway, Olivia Parker, and Pam Sorenson. Ranked first in the women’s featherweight division and as BELLATOR’s No. 4 pound-for-pound female talent, Zingano will look to set up a showdown with champion Cris Cyborg with a highlight-reel victory over McCourt this March. One of BELLATOR’s fastest-rising stars, Ireland’s Leah “The Curse” McCourt will face her toughest test to date in this compelling old school vs. new school matchup between top featherweight contenders. McCourt, a former amateur world champion and a judo black belt, has won seven of her last eight fights including a unanimous decision over Dayana Silva in front of a raucous Dublin crowd at BELLATOR 285. The 30-year-old is the No. 4-ranked contender in the division over which she one day hopes to reign, and she will look to move up from her place at eighth in the women’s

Dirty Blonde Review

RUSTY STRAIT | SENIOR REPORTER

bout three generations ago, Mae West emerged as the original Blonde Bombshell on Broadway and Hollywood, predating Jean Harlow, Betty Grable, Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfield. She loved sex and loved including it in her plays, movies and radio shows. She was once kicked off NBC Radio for what would be common today. Her sin? "If women's dresses get any shorter, they'll have two more cheeks to rouge and a lot more hair to bob." This past week I was invited by the Coachella Valley Repertory to review "Dirty Blonde." A three-character play about a budding romance between a young couple obsessed with Mae West.

"Dirty Blonde" opened at the Helen Hayes Theatre on May 1, 2000, and ran for 352 performances. It immediately became popular in community theaters across the country. The local production ran about two hours without an intermission the night I attended. The three actors, Cady Huffman as the young lady who plays dual roles as the young woman in love and also Mae West. She certainly had Mae's sex walk and suggestive voice down to the point that if you closed your eyes and were old enough to remember, you might swear that it was Mae; Cady did her homework. Joshua Morgan is Cady's romantic interest and he also plays the young man completely smitten with Mae West and presents the infatuated young fan like any young man intox-

icated with a sexy woman. His hormones run rampant. William Ryall, the third actor in the trilogy, also plays more than one character, the most important being that of Mae's husband, whom nobody seems to know about. The play opens with the young male fan bubbling over with fan enthusiasm when he is invited to visit Mae in her dressing room and is dumbfounded and almost paralyzed when his goddess appears. The play takes off from there and is a comical romp with the emphasis always on Mae from the beginning to the final scene. The play differentiates between Mae on Broadway and later in Hollywood. Where her star was always in bright lights anytime she played the Great White Way, where they loved her smut-

Cady's portrayal of Mae brings her stubbornness out in spades and one thing not generally know, that she turned down the

Gloria Swanson role in Sunset Boulevard because she wouldn't play a "has been." This play runs through January 29 and is well worth seeing if for no other reason than the remembrance of what a powerful influence Mae had on sex and com-

edy from the 1920s on into the 1970s with Gore Vidal's "Myra Breckenridge" (way ahead of its time - just like Mae). I highly recommend this romp with its sad subplot. Just sayin' rustystrait@gmail.com

California housing shortage triggers cycle of despair DAN WALTERS | CONTRIBUTOR

veryone in California knows, or should know, that the state has an immense shortage of housing that persists despite efforts by its politicians to jumpstart construction. State officials say we need to build 180,000 new units of housing each year to meet demand, even though the state’s population has been slowly declining of late. At best, California is building about half of that number, adjusted for losses to old age, fires and other calamities, and construction seems to be slowing due to sharp increases in interest rates. The economic laws of supply and demand mean the housing shortage results in high home prices and rents. As those costs, particularly rents, filter down to the Californians on the bottom rungs of the economic ladder, they re-

sult in California’s having the highest rate of poverty of any state, 13.2%, when the cost of living is included in the calculation. Poverty dipped a bit during the COVID-19 pandemic, thanks to a series of temporary federal and state support programs. As they phase out, the underlying causes, particularly high housing costs, remain in force. Continuously, some impoverished Californians run out of options to keep roofs over their heads and tumble into homelessness, giving California the nation’s highest number and the highest relative proportion of unhoused people. Some newly released data not only underscore this unfortunate cycle, but reveal its contrast with what’s happening elsewhere. The first data set comes from Matin Real Estate, a broker in Portland, and compares home construction in California to that

of other states, expressed as units per 1,000 population. Nationwide, the firm found, 5.3 units of housing are being built for every 1,000 U.S. residents but individual states range from a high of 11.7 in Utah to a low of 1.27 in Rhode Island. Idaho, Florida and South Carolina round out the top construction states while Connecticut, Illinois and New York are in the bottom ranks with Rhode Island. California isn’t in the very lowest tier but it’s 13th from the bottom at 3.04 per 1,000. Were California to match the national rate, it would be producing 212,000 units a year – a bit higher than the state’s official goal but also a level that California once achieved. It’s noteworthy that Florida, a state that California Gov. Gavin Newsom often disparages, is one of the nation’s lead-

15 Free Things to Do in Corona, CA CHRISTINE DIANNE FRANCISCO | CONTRIBUTOR

he vibrant city of Corona is located in Riverside County, California, and was founded in 1896. Corona was originally a rural community with roots in mining and citrus growing. Over the years, Corona has blossomed into a thriving community, initially inhabited by people of English and Irish descent. Today, Corona is a culturally diverse area with first-rate facilities; it has numerous tourist attractions that you can explore without spending a dime. Check out these free things to do in Corona, California. Explore the Skyline Drive Trail Get ready for amazing views and an unforgettable experience while exploring the Skyline Drive Trail in Corona.

Built by Ida Frazier in 1904, Hotel del Rey was the first hotel in Corona with a functional telephone. Hotel del Rey was also a popular social gathering back in its heyday,

hosting events like fundraisers and banquets. The historic hotel underwent several changes over the years; it even became a parking space for the Bank of America.

Center was originally a high school after a bond election win in 1922. After years of educating Corona students, the high school sustained earthquake safety issues and had to be closed down. Soon afterward, it became the new City Hall and Civic Center, still embodying years of history and heritage. Cool Off at Ridgeline Park The summer heat can be unbearable, especially when you’re in California. What better way to stay cool than splashing in the water? You might think that the aqua centers will probably be complete and will only cost more money to lounge around a local resort. Fortunately, there’s a gigantic splash pad in Ridgeline Park where you can beat the summer heat for free. Located along Corona’s Ridgeline Dr, this park is a great spot to cool off while working on a tight budget. Splash around, enjoy the sprinklers, and have a nice little picnic after your mini adventure. There’s even a barbecue area and covered shelters that are perfect for large groups. Check Out the Hotrods at Cars and Coffee Corona Dedicated gearheads should have a great time checking out the hotrods during the Cars and Coffee Corona event.

During this gathering, you’ll see a fleet of classic, exotic, and luxury vehicles in one space. Ask all the questions you want about these cars, and even get some ideas about how to make your own hotrod stand out. If you have a showstopper of your own, feel free to parade your vehicle with the rest, but keep in mind that parking is on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Join the Fire and Ice Chili Cook Off and Craft Beer Festival If there’s one event you should attend in Corona, it’s the Fire and Ice Chili Cook Off and Craft Beer Festival. Typically held along Cabot Dr at The Shops at Dos Lagos, the Fire and Ice Chili Cook Off and Craft Beer Festival is an annual event where the best cooks show off their skills. You’ll also see some of the best craft brews in the city while savoring the wonderful aroma of homemade chili. Explore the entire area they fuss about, and stick around to enjoy some live entertainment, too.

Take Your Little One to Winter Kids’ Fun Let your little ones have fun at the Winter Kid’s Fun event at Cabot Dr. The Winter Kids’ Fun event is free for kids and gives them a chance to enjoy the holidays with a series of activities. If you’re ever in town for the holiday season, check out this event for your kids to have a memorable Christmas.

Riverside County Fair and National Date Festival returns to Indio next month: what you need to know BIANCA VENTURA | CONTRIBUTOR

he event known for providing family fun throughout the decades is returning in person after a three year hiatus. The Riverside County Fair and National Date Festival announced two nights of Monster Truck shows on Monday. The ten day festival kicks off February 17 and we were able to speak to the new event manager, Chris Pickering. After winning a bidding process through Riverside County, Pickering Events was selected as the new fairground partner for the next five years. "We're excited to be here for the long haul. And well

In a clash of top-five middleweight contenders, Canadian star Aaron Jeffery will look to continue his impressive start to his BELLATOR tenure against perennial contender John Salter. The mullet-donning 30-yearold has scored two emphatic knockouts in his first two BELLATOR outings, including a first-

this year is the return of the date festival. Future years will be the growth," says Pickering. Pickering tells us he's committed to preserving festival traditions. "All your Blue Ribbon competitions, your ten days of grandstand entertainment, the carnival like vendors, all the shopping you can think of and of course, your favorite fair foods," says Pickering. Attendees can also look forward to the Presidents' Day Parade starting at Miles Park, and the Queen's Court Scholarship Program that they're expanding this year. "Instead of awarding to three young women we're going to be awarding 10 scholarships of $2,000 each

and that will be open to anyone," adds Pickering. Of course you can't forget the origin of the festival itself. "We're very excited to work with the date growers in the region to return with their featured exhibits in the Taj Mahal," shares Pickering. New management also means new features. This year, each food vendor is required to bring at least one date item on their menu. Another notable change has to do with entertainment. Ten nights of shows will be held at the fairground's grandstand arena. "We're actually going to add another thousand seats out on the dirt. It's going to be an opportunity for people to get up close to the

round finish of former title challenger Austin Vanderford. Meanwhile, Salter aims to return to the win column after coming up just short to champion Johnny Eblen and ex-titlist Gegard Mousasi in successive outings. Fresh off of a thrilling defeat of standout wrestler Kyle Crutchmer, Memphis’ Jaleel “The Realest” Willis will look to continue his upward momentum in the welterweight division by welcoming Russia’s Rustam “Tiger” Khabilov to the BELLATOR cage. Willis, 30, has

won three of his five BELLATOR fights and looked much-improved against Crutchmer thanks to his time training at Kill Cliff FC. Dagestan’s Khabilov has different plans for his promotional debut, and he aims to establish himself as an immediate contender for the title with a dominant performance against Willis. The well-credentialed and well-rounded 36-year-old has been there and done then, sporting victories over Jorge Masvidal, Yancy Medeiros, and Chris Wade among his admirable resumé.

Hawaii’s renters fare the worst, devoting an average of 42.06% of their incomes to keep themselves housed, while California is No. 2 at 28.47%, followed by New Jersey, Massachusetts and Delaware. The numbers from both data sets are important indicators of California’s stark socioeconomic division between those who can enjoy California’s matchless scenic and cultural wonders and its powerful economy, now said to be the 4th largest

in the world, and those who struggle to survive. Housing availability and costs are the central factors in that division, whose most disturbing manifestation is the explosion of squalid encampments on the sidewalks of the state’s major cities. As California politicians declare their commitment to dealing with homelessness, they should also acknowledge that it originates in the state’s chronic shortage of housing that shows no signs of abating.

Justice Dept. sues Google over digital advertising dominance BARBARA ORTUTAY, ERIC TUCKER AND FRANK BAJAK | AP NEWS

he Justice Department and eight states filed an antitrust suit against Google on Tuesday, seeking to shatter its alleged monopoly on the entire ecosystem of online advertising as a hurtful burden to advertisers, consumers and even the U.S. government. The government alleged in the complaint that Google is looking to “neutralize or eliminate” rivals in the online ad marketplace through acquisitions and to force advertisers to use its products by making it difficult to use competitors’ offerings. It’s part of a new, if slow and halting, push by the U.S. to rein in big tech companies that have enjoyed largely unbridled growth in the past decade and a half. “Monopolies threaten the free and fair markets

upon which our economy is based. They stifle innovation, they hurt producers and workers, and they increase costs for consumers,” Attorney General Merrick Garland said at a news conference Tuesday. For 15 years, Garland said, Google has “pursued a course of anti-competitive conduct” that has stalled the rise of rival technologies and manipulated the mechanics of online ad auctions to force advertisers and publishers to use its tools. In so doing, he added, Google ”engaged in exclusionary conduct” that has “severely weakened,” if not destroyed, competition in the ad tech industry. The suit, the latest legal action brought by the government against Google, accuses the company of unlawfully monopolizing the way ads are served online by excluding competitors. Google’s ad manager lets large publishers who have

significant direct sales manage their advertisements. The ad exchange, meanwhile, is a real-time marketplace to buy and sell online display ads. Garland said Google controls the technology used by most major website publishers to offer advertising space for sale, as well as the largest ad exchange that matches publishers and advertisers together when ad space is sold. The result, he added, is that “website creators earn less and advertisers pay more.” The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Alexandria, Virginia, demands that Google divest itself of the businesses of buyer, seller and auctioneer of digital display advertising, remaining with search — its core business — and other products and services including YouTube, Gmail and cloud services. Digital ads currently account for about 80% of Google’s revenue, and by

and large support its other, less lucrative endeavors. But the company, along with Facebook’s parent company, Meta, has seen its market share decline in recent years as smaller rivals grab bigger portions of the online advertising market. Beyond that, the overall online ads environment market is cooling off as advertisers clamp down on spending and brace for a potential recession. Alphabet Inc., Google’s parent company, said in a statement that the suit “doubles down on a flawed argument that would slow innovation, raise advertising fees, and make it harder for thousands of small businesses and publishers to grow.” Tuesday’s lawsuit comes as the U.S. government is increasingly looking to rein in Big Tech’s dominance, although such legal action can take years to complete and Congress has not passed

any recent legislation seeking to curb the influence of the tech industry’s largest players. The European Union has been more active. It launched an antitrust investigation into Google’s digital ad dominance in 2021. British and European regulators are also looking into whether an agreement for online display advertising services

Amazon launches a subscription Despite tech layoffs, California & Silicon Valley added jobs at end of 2022 prescription drug service TOM MURPHY AND HALELUYA HADERO | AP NEWS

LEVI SUMAGAYSAY | MARKETWATCH

mazon is adding a prescription drug discount program to its growing health care business. The retail giant said Tuesday that it will launch RxPass, a subscription service for customers who have Prime memberships. Amazon said people will pay $5 a month to fill as many prescriptions as they need from a list of about 50 generic medications, which are generally cheaper versions of brand-name drugs. The company said the flat fee could cover a list of medications like the antibiotic amoxicillin and the anti-inflammatory drug naproxen. Sildenafil also made the list. It’s used to treat erectile dysfunction under the brand name Viagra and also treats a form of high blood pressure. Amazon sells a range of generic drugs through its pharmacy service. Some already cost as liitle as $1 for a 30-day supply, so the benefit of this new program will vary by customer. The program doesn’t use insurance, and people with government-funded Medicaid or Medicare coverage are not eligible. It will be available in 42 states and Washington, D.C. at launch.

Any program that gets low-cost generic drugs to more patients “is a good thing,” said Karen Van Nuys, an economist who studies drug pricing at the University of Southern California. But she added that she wasn’t sure how much of an impact RxPass will have. She noted that the program is limited to Amazon Prime customers. Other options like the Mark Cuban CostPlus Drug Co. sell more generic drugs, many for under $5. “I just don’t know that it’s expanding access to a new set of patients,” Van Nuys said. Still, the move could help the company take up some more space in the health care market, even though it has not always been successful in its aim. Last year, the company shuttered its

hybrid virtual, in-home care service called Amazon Care after it failed to get traction from employers. And Haven, a company Amazon created in collaboration with JPMorgan and Berkshire Hathaway to improve health costs, dissolved a year earlier than that. Amazon has said its online drug store Amazon Pharmacy is a key part of its health care plan, along with primary care organization One Medical, which the online giant is seeking to acquire for $3.9 billion. The Federal Trade Commission is investigating the proposed buyout. In November, the company also said it would begin offering “Amazon Clinic,” a messaging service that connects patients with doctors for about two dozen common conditions, such as allergies and hair loss.

hile Golden State’s unemployment rate is higher than the nation’s, job growth is also outpacing the national rate California and Silicon Valley saw net gains in jobs in December, even as tech companies based in the state announce thousands of layoffs. Employers added 16,200 nonfarm payroll jobs in December, the state’s Employment Development Department reported Friday, even as Silicon Valley companies like Intel Corp(INTC) began layoffs. The state’s jobless rate stayed at 4.1%, compared with the nation’s unemployment rate of 3.5%, but California’s job growth of 3.6% outpaced the nation’s 3% growth, the EDD said. “California continues leading the nation’s economy,” said Gov. Gavin Newsom in a statement Friday. The biggest job gains in California were in the education and health services sector, with 8,200 jobs added, according to EDD data. That was followed by thousands of jobs added in each of the following sectors: construction, government, leisure and hospitality, and

professional and business services. Nine of 11 sectors added jobs. The sectors that saw decreases were information, which lost 6,100 jobs, and trade, transportation and utilities, which lost 11,100 jobs. California saw the 15th consecutive month of nonfarm job gains in December, according to the EDD. But it is unclear whether the unemployment report for January will continue that streak. The tens of thousands of tech layoffs announced late last year and in the beginning of this year by large Silicon Valley companies like Facebook parent Meta Platforms Inc(META), Salesforce Inc(CRM) and, most recently, Google parent company Alphabet Inc(GO O GL)(GO O GL) should begin to show up in the unemployment data for January, February and March -- though the tech companies that call California home have employees around the nation and world. Silicon Valley is the epicenter of the tech industry’s massive layoff announcements, but some experts are remaining somewhat hopeful despite acknowledging the “very real disruptions” for the workers who have been affected. Most of the

jobs added in the state were in the nine-county Bay Area, resulting in a drop in Silicon Valley’s unemployment rate month over month, to 2% from 2.3%, according to Joint Venture Silicon Valley’s Institute for Regional Studies, which based its analysis on the EDD data. The total Silicon Valley labor force climbed by more than 8,500 from mid-November to mid-December, according to the institute. “The Bay Area added 13,000 jobs,” Russell Hancock, chief executive of Joint Venture Silicon Valley, an alliance of business, labor, academic and community leaders, told MarketWatch. “That far offsets the number of layoffs in the Bay Area, so our head’s above water.” See: ‘It was not sustainable or real’ -- A historical look at tech’s layoffs. Also: More than 55,000 global tech workers laid off in the first few weeks of 2023. The EDD also said in its report that the state had 70,000 more jobs in December than pre-pandemic levels in February 2020. New unemployment claims totaled 41,550 in December, down more than 6,200 from the previous month.

Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

munications Industry Association, said competition for advertising is fierce and the “governments’ contention that digital ads aren’t in competition with print, broadcast, and outdoor advertising defies reason.” Dina Srinivasan, a Yale University fellow and adtech expert, said the lawsuit is “huge” because it aligns the entire nation — state and federal governments —

finish it pretty quickly,” she said. Angel Crawford has been with the Soboba Tribal TANF program for more than a year as its transportation coordinator. She makes sure that youths from Riverside, Mountain Center and other outlying areas can participate in Tribal

Cháamcha Lówwivuktum (TCL) activities that include field trips, youth conferences, workshops, classes on timely topics and a summer youth internship program. Crawford said workshops at the Soboba Indian Reservation are usually scheduled once a month and last a few

hours. She said the TANF team takes into consideration interests that the youths have in deciding what to offer. The last workshop, making leather pouches, was led by Tony Soares. Before that was one on making pots. She was seated among the teens, trying her hand at beading for the first

time. She said the most difficult part was getting started and counting to make sure she had the correct number of beads for each row. “After the first two rows, you’re fine,” she said. Christopher Lagunas, 12, has beaded a bracelet on his own and beaded an ornament through the

program. “I chose black and blue with white as an accent color,” he said, adding that techniques are little different depending on the project but being patient is the most important thing to master no matter what is being created. For more information, www.lopezbeading.com.

in a bipartisan legal offensive against Google. The current online ad market, Srinivasan said, “is broken and totally inefficient.” The fact that intermediaries are getting 30% to 50% of the take on each ad trade is “an insane inefficiency to have baked into the U.S. economy.” She called it “a massive tax on the free internet and consumers at large. It directly affects the viability of a free press” as well. As with many highly

complex technical markets, it has taken time for federal and state regulators and policymakers to catch up with and understand the online ad market. Srinivasan noted that it took a decade before they woke up to the perils of high-speed trading in financial markets and began adopting measures to discourage it. Google held nearly 29% of the U.S. digital advertising market — it includes all the ads people see on computers. phones, tablets and

other internet-connected devices — in 2022, according to research firm Insider Intelligence. Facebook parent company Meta is second, commanding nearly 20% of the market. Amazon is a distant, but growing, third at more than 11%. Insider is estimating that both Google and Meta’s share of the ad market will decline, while rivals such as Amazon and TikTok are expected to see gains. This is the latest legal action taken against Google

by either the Justice Department or local state governments. In October 2020, for instance, the Trump administration and 11 state attorneys general sued Google for violating antitrust laws, alleging anticompetitive practices in the search and search advertising markets. Asked why the Justice Department would bring the suit when a similar complaint has already been filed by states, Assistant Attorney General Jonathan Kanter, the department’s top anti-

trust official, said, “We conducted our own investigation, and that investigation occurred over many years.” Tuesday’s lawsuit in essence aligns the Biden administration and new states with the 35 states and District of Colombia that sued Google in December 2020 over the exact same issues. The states taking part in the suit include California, Virginia, Connecticut, Colorado, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and Tennessee.

Police cornered him about 12 hours later in Torrance, south of Los Angeles, and then he fatally shot himself. Lethal Record By the time the Los Angeles County Coroner released the full list of Monterey Park victims on Tuesday, tributes from relatives and friends were pouring in. Many victims were regulars at that dance studio, a haven for locals looking to exercise and socialize. In a statement, the

family of Valentino Marcos Alvero remembered the Filipino man as a loving grandfather and “the life of any party.” Among the 11 victims were two fishermen from Taiwan, according to the Taiwanese consulate in Los Angeles, and multiple Chinese citizens, according to the Chinese consulate. It ranked as the deadliest mass shooting ever in Los Angeles County, according to Hilda Solis, a member of the county Board of Super-

visors. By comparison, the 1984 massacre of 21 people at a McDonald’s restaurant in San Diego stands as the greatest loss of life from a single California shooting. The two latest shootings were also notable for the age of the suspects, one in his late 60s, another in his early 70s. A database of 185 mass shootings between 1966 and 2022 maintained by the nonprofit Violence Project includes just one

carried out by someone 70 or older — a retired miner who killed five people in Kentucky in 1981. Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna told reporters on Monday that investigators had collected 42 bullet casings and a large-capacity ammunition magazine from the dance studio. He said a search of the suspect’s mobile home in a gated senior-living community in the town of Hemet, 80 miles east of Los

Angeles, turned up a rifle, electronic devices and other evidence to indicate that Tran was manufacturing homemade weapons silencers. Police seized hundreds of rounds of ammunition from the dwelling and a handgun from his vehicle. Monterey Park Police Chief Scott Wiese said investigators were looking into unconfirmed reports that the violence may have been sparked by jealousy or relationship issues.
