By AAMER MADHANI, Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump vetoed a plan presented by Israel to the U.S. to kill Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, according to a U.S. official familiar with the matter. The Israelis informed the Trump administration in recent days that they had developed a credible plan to kill Khamenei.

BALTIMORE — Much changed in the 712 days between Sam Bachman’s 11th and 12th big league games. A day after the Angels’ right-hander pitched a perfect inning in his first big league game in nearly two years, he said he has a new mental approach. “Laser focus,” Bachman said. “I felt in control, in command. In the past, in my rookie year, it was kind of not a controlled energy. It’s like lightning in a bottle now. It’s what it feels like. The focus is there. I like where I’m at.” Bachman called it “one gladiator circle at a time.”…
A 2021 article in the left-wing publication, Mother Jones, had an ominous headline: “How the fossil fuel industry convinced Americans to love gas stoves.” But there’s no conspiracy here, as many consumers understandably prefer gas stoves, water heaters, fireplaces and furnaces to their electrical alternatives because of their real-world cooking and heating attributes. Yet banning new sales of those appliances—or placing enough restrictions on them to restrict their widespread sale — has been high on the to-do list of environmental activists, who are convinced they contribute to manmade climate change. Local governments have gotten in on the action. The San…
If one tried to judge the politics of Californians by who they elect to represent them in Sacramento, one might think the typical Californian is a leftist ideologue who is really bad with numbers and thinks government action is the solution to every problem known to man. But recent polling from the nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California suggests quite a different picture. A majority of Californians (57%), it turns out, support downsizing the federal government. Californians, not Texans, not Floridians. Californians. Driving that is the fact that 58% of Californians said they think the federal government wastes “a lot”…
Edwin Castro has avoided the spotlight since he won a $2.04 billion Powerball jackpot from a ticket he bought at an Altadena gas station 2 ½ years ago. In recent months, however, the largest lottery winner in history plowed some of those winnings back into Altadena, paying $8.9 million to buy up at least a dozen burned-out homesites in the beleaguered community. That makes Black Lion Properties LLC, the company Castro and brother Jesse formed last year, the largest land investor in the Los Angeles County fire zones. Related: In a recent statement, the Castro brothers said they want to…
As a parent, you want to do whatever you can to help your children succeed, and you hope for a good relationship with them when they are finally on their own. The age-old question is, how do you achieve both goals? For over two decades, I ran the paid college internship program for business majors at our firm. Across the board, the interns were bright and genuinely good people, but many were flailing. I witnessed how fragile that transition into adulthood can be and how hard it was for their parents to help them. What I noticed the students were…

LOS ANGELES — They scored early. They scored late. And that was enough for the North Carolina Courage to defeat Angel City FC 2-1 on Saturday. “Giving up these late losses is really tough, and to give them up at home in front of our fans is double tough,” Angel City midfielder Madison Hammond said. “It’s one of those things where you look back at the performance and I feel it was an entertaining game for the fans, but to give up a goal in the first minute and a goal in the last minute, that’s a mentality thing.” A…
