"Pulling police officers from protecting everyday Angelenos to protect a failed presidential candidate who also happens to be a multi- millionaire with multiple homes and who can easily afford to pay for her own security is nuts," the board said in a statement. "The mayor should tell Governor Newsom that if he wants to curry favor with Ms. Harris and her donor base then he should open up his own wallet because LA taxpayers should not be footing the bill for this ridiculousness." read more

That's why I was taken aback when Gov. Gavin Newsom's vaunted social media team disparaged an announcement from the new CEO of Bed Bath & Beyond that it would not open or operate any stores in California due to anxieties over our state's business climate. The governor's team responded to the feedback not with a reasoned argument, but with an extended attack in their new "Trumpian" voice of belittling those who disagree with them. Their message to the CEO (and the 6.1 million other people who viewed the post) was "take your business elsewhere." Given that California currently has more than 1 million unemployed residents, this was not the reaction I was expecting " or that was called for. read more

LOL Did you see what Iran threw at Israel? Those weren't even fast.
www.aljazeera.com
The problem, you see is that China can saturate the carriers defenses, just like Iran did to Israel. F-14's were designed to shoot down Russian bombers before they could launch. The range of the F-14 was a deterrent.
Today the F-35, F-18 range?? Less, much less. Why? We all know why. They are built for multi-role, which is for operations where there is no fighting peer. In the South China Sea its a sitting duck.
Keep swinging.
Not if you're foreign born. We're doing pretty good.
