If LA County’s homeless population were its own city, it would be the 124th largest city in the entire state. Every year the city does a homeless count designed to help keep track of whether the problem is getting better or worse. This year, despite a flood of money directly at programs, the news was pretty bad.Unsheltered homelessness — which refers to people living outdoors in vehicles, tents and makeshift shelters like propped-up tarps — is up 40% over the past five years, rising to 55,155 people countywide…When including people in shelters in the tally, the count found that 75,518...

Here’s an interesting story that might make you think – especially if you’re an advocate for Second Amendment rights and gun ownership. This case highlights an incident in which a man was forced to use a firearm to defend himself and his property. But the way the incident played out is instructive in that it gives us a chance to consider how we might react in a similar situation.A La Puebla resident earlier this week apprehended a suspected burglar who was attempting to steal his tools, holding him at gunpoint after a brief struggle until law enforcement arrived. The alleged...

Kennedy Jr., who is running to win the Democratic presidential nomination.I still don’t get it. But I do think some are finally starting to realize he may not be the...

“What’s the password?” — it’s a question found in spy stories, but the idea now applies to a plethora of societal situations.For instance, if a male solicits admittance to a female locker room, in many cases, the password is “I am a woman.” But if the submitted words lack adequacy, welcome will elude the seeker.A similar scenario seems to have played out at New York’s St. Lawrence University, where a hopeful student came up calamitously short. Last fall, 22-year-old biological male Fabián “Fa” Guzmán rushed for membership to a ladies-only sorority. Subsequently, the senior was accepted into iconic girl-group Chi...

The animals Muslims will slaughter in Hamtramck, Michigan, for their torturous “religious celebration” must be Halal, a Jihad money-making scheme to spread Sharia worldwide. The revised ordinance requires those who barbarically slaughter the animals to “notify” the City ahead of time and to perform their slaughter in a way more or less compliant with health regulations. The City has also over-written many health codes by allowing the slaughter of animals in the Halal fashion at a person’s residence. The City requires that Muslims block the viewing of the slaughter from members of the general public who do not wish to...

Many years ago (April 3,1965 to be exact), a courageous and devoted American broadcast a message to his listeners that served as a harbinger for where the nation was headed societally and culturally.

That man was Paul Harvey Aurandt, known to the nation simply as Paul Harvey, and his message not only has proven to be prophetic, but serves as a warning to Americans today of where our society continues to trend. “If...

The suit centers on Lorie Smith, a website designer who does not want to provide her services for gay weddings because...
