Three Jewish students have filed a civil rights lawsuit against the University of California’s Board of Regents and other university officials, alleging UCLA allowed “anti-Semitic activists” to bar them and other students from going to their classes, offices and the library during pro-Palestinian demonstrations in April and May.
In the Los Angeles federal court complaint, two law students and an undergraduate student say that UCLA allowed a group of students and outsiders to se

Hawthorne-based SpaceX’s mega rocket completes fourth test flight without exploding

By MARCIA DUNN | AP Aerospace Writer
Hawthorne-based SpaceX’s mega Starship rocket completed its first full test flight Thursday, returning to Earth without exploding after blasting off from Texas.
It was the fourth launch of the world’s biggest and most powerful rocket, standing nearly 400 feet (121 meters) tall. The three previous flight demos ended in explosions. This time, the rocket and the spacecraft managed to splash down in a controlled fashion, making the hourlong flig

Ziggurat building in Laguna Niguel back up for auction, no preservation easem*nt required

The pyramid-esque federal office building in Laguna Niguel, known as “Ziggurat,” is back on the market, and this time without the requirement to preserve it opening a lot more opportunities to developers.
On Wednesday, June 5, officials from the General Services Administration said they would begin accepting bids starting at $70 million, and by midday, they said they had already received a “substantial amount of interest, both virtually and recently” after hosting more th

Angels hit ‘the classroom’ during this season of learning

ANAHEIM — Even though Kevin Pillar has spent 10 years in the major leagues, placing him at the top of the seniority list among the Angels’ active position players, the 35-year-old outfielder was subjected to the same treatment as a rookie in the “classroom” on Saturday afternoon.
Pillar had to explain to his teammates what happened the night before, when he took off from first base too early and was thrown out at second to end a one-run loss.
“I talked about what I

James McMurtry talks about touring in vans and making new fans ahead of LA show

Getting in the van and hitting the road to make money from music because records don’t sell? That’s nothing new for James McMurtry.
“It’s been that way for us for a long time,” said McMurtry, who is playing the Troubadour in West Hollywood on June 11. “I never made money off records. I had to tour cheap back before Napster. It’s really been from the get-go. The Columbia records never did recoup. We had to learn to tour cheap right off the bat.”

Hurley, who has won back-to-back men’s NCAA national championships at the helm of the Huskies, has had preliminary contact with the Lakers and both parties are “planning to escalate discussions in the coming days”, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski first reported early Thursday morning.
The report added that the Lakers are “preparing a massive, long-term contra

California home-price gains may ‘cool’ in next 12 months

Our “crystal ball” feature helps decipher numerous forecasts that ponder the future ups and downs of the economy.

State Sen. Ben Allen pulls housing ballot measure, pushes climate change bond

State Senator Ben Allen, D-Santa Monica, is pulling his public housing measure from the November ballot, citing recent legislative progress on the issue and a fear that its nuances would be lost among the many other complex measures facing voters.
Meanwhile, he is doubling down on his effort to get a climate resiliency bond on the ballot to fund projects that reduce fire and flood risk, improve access to clean drinking water, protect against sea-level rise and expand renewable energy. While memb

D-Day: Remember all who fought for freedom

The American heroes who stormed onto Normandy Beach 80 years ago to free Europe from Nazi tyranny are almost all gone now. Yet their heroism will never be forgotten.
One who was there and survived was Walter D. Ehlers, who lived in Buena Park until his death in 2014. Writing for us in 1997 on the 53rd anniversary of D-Day, he remembered, “My brother had returned from the hospital in Africa. At the embarkation was the last time I saw him. He was killed in the D-Day landings on Omaha Beach.&

Larry Elder: California is where common sense goes to die

The circus came to California a long time ago, and there are no signs it’s packing up any time soon.
Some recent examples:
California lawmakers set up a reparations panel for “black descendants of slaves” even though California was never a slave state. California has a budget deficit of close to $50 billion, and some put the price tag of the panel’s reparations recommendations at $800 billion.
A former soap opera actor recently was shot and killed in downtown Los Angeles.

Fixed-fee utility scheme will raise bills and reduce conservation

California has adopted a new rate structure for residential utility customers that’s designed to make their electric bills more equitable and affordable, and encourage them to shift to electric appliances and vehicles. The likely result, however, will be higher utility bills – and an increase in electricity usage at a time when the state is struggling to avoid blackouts. The new system will also undermine the state’s conservation goals.
In response to Assembly Bill 205 signed b

Homebuyers starting to revolt over steep prices

The US housing market — long crippled by an inventory drought — is finally starting to see listings rise. But now, in many places, the buyers just aren’t showing up.
Sellers are grappling with the fact that higher-for-longer rates are choking off demand during what’s typically the key season for the market. And more of those owners are cutting asking prices than any time since November 2022 as inventory grows stale, according to Redfin Corp.

What’s next for America? Israel’s high-tech military tactics point the way

California homelessness funding is on the chopping block. Will it make the final budget?

It’s the billion-dollar question. That’s how much cities and other local governments have been receiving from the state each year to deal with California’s ever-increasing population of homeless people.
But after five years, will the aid from Sacramento continue as Gov. Gavin Newsom and legislative leaders try to close a massive state budget deficit?
Newsom has been critical of local homelessness efforts and his newly revised 2024-25 budget not only pulls back an extra $260 mil

California cuts incentives for community solar projects

California’s utilities regulator adopted new rules for community solar projects, despite warnings from clean energy advocates that the move will actually undercut efforts to expand solar power options for low-income customers.

ANAHEIM — The end of another academic year has arrived and with it, a sense of accomplishment that Nolan Schanuel and Zach Neto know all so well.
Two years ago, it was Neto slamming a college textbook closed for life beyond academics. Last year, Schanuel did the same.
On Wednesday night, the young Angels infielders marked the occasion of another foray into summer with home runs one inning apart, turning study time into the mastery of the test at hand. The Angels then finished off a 3-2 vic
