Nancy Archibald's letter laments the use of "military-like enforcement" in cities like Minneapolis for immigration control, calling it un-American and cruel. She asks, "Where is my America?" But America isn't just hers, it's ours, shared by all citizens who expect secure borders and laws …

I'll offer a positive note. My daughter participated in the walk-out, and it ended up creating an opportunity for a much deeper conversation between us about immigration. I wanted her to know more about both sides of the issue before she making a decision to protest a policy or position.<…

I am really upset about what happened to Mr. Pretti and Ms. Good. We should all heed your advice and avoid rushing to political conclusions before all the evidence is complete. For example, Alex's Sig Sauer P320 weapon is subjected to a class action lawsuit involving 100+ incidents of uni…

Thanks for your perspective, however it downplays the strategic importance of removing Maduro and ignores how his regime served as a vital proxy for Iran, Russia, and China.

Venezuela supplied China with deep discounted oil via loan-repayment deals that let Beijing secure cheap ener…

Spotters and cutouts, clandestine digital “drops”, disciplined communications, role specialization, and a willingness to take losses while steadily exhausting a stronger force.

I agree with Geothermal. Cheap, clean, reliable, but not abundant in CA. You can't build everywhere you need it. Ocean energy is foolishly expensive. Today it's pilot-scale only and highly corrosive. Grid-scale storage is still costly after a decade and fire-prone (lithium-ion incidents u…

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I completely agree that the flag represents more than just a symbol of remembrance. It stands for the principles that our country was built upon, including liberty, freedom of speech, and the rule of law. However, it’s important to remember that democr…

* A 2021 study by the Furman Center (NYU) found that NYC’s rental registry compliance cost landlords ~$200–$500 per unit annually in fees and labor. Small landlords often absorb or pass on these costs.

* In Los Angeles, post-2019 registry expansion, ~10,000 rental units were removed…

Some good ideas here, Jon. The avg age for a first-time homebuyer today is 40 y/o. The avg for a repeat buyer is 62. Housing affordability is around the corner but will take time. Experts predict 2026-2036 that 13-15 million homes will become available as the Boomers pass away. Combined w…

Yes, USGS studied it. Alleviating natural leakage via drilling is a cost/beneft that is marginal on either side of the opinion. True EVs are heavy, but so are the millions of gas SUVs that consumers prefer. I prefer to focus on market drivers of high CA gasoline prices - which are refinin…
