What they saw was a person standing…

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Tyler Higbee waited nearly a year for this moment.And once the Rams tight end had the ball in his hands, he wasn’t letting anyone stop him from getting into the end zone.With the game tied against the New York Jets early in the fourth quarter Sunday, Higbee caught a short pass from Matthew Stafford, rumbled down the sideline and dived over the goal line for a go-ahead 11-yard score in the Rams’ 19-9 victory.“I didn’t know I was going to have to jump,” said Higbee, who made his season debut after tearing the ACL and MCL…
SIMI VALLEY – On a night that saw both defenses shine in the San Fernando Valley San Gabriel Valley high school football all-star game, no defender stood out more than Canyon’s Evan Watts.Watts earned defensive MVP honors as he racked up four sacks in a 15-9 win for the West all-stars on Saturday night at Simi Valley High School.“We knew on Monday at the first practice that we had something special there,” said West coach Ben McEnroe, who is also the coach of Thousand Oaks High School. “We were excited to coach him and he just made plays.

In response to President-elect Donald Trump’s return to the White House, much has been written about how this will impact America’s relationship with foreign countries.And while much of the focus has been on relations with NATO, Europe, and China, the U.S.-Mexico relationship in the second Trump era may be just as important.Not only is a positive relationship good for the United States generally, but it is even more important for California, which is home to more than one-third (36%) of all Mexican immigrants according to the Migration Policy Institute.To that end, it is vital that Trump and the Mexican come…
After politicians and used car salesmen, political activists are perhaps the most dishonest group of people in our society. Nearly every piece of information they disseminate is a distortion or outright lie. Unfortunately, much of the information we consume in the political realm comes from activists and other ideologues. This includes a good deal of information that comes filtered through media and academic sources, who often uncritically repeat activist talking points. Activists tell us, for instance: That women earn just 82 cents for every dollar that men earn for the same work; That police shootings show a marked racial bias…
Democracy proved to be a terrible campaign concept in November, but that hasn’t stopped Democrats’ musings.Speaking at the Obama Foundation Democracy Forum earlier this month, former President Barack Obama lamented that “(t)he election proved that democracy is pretty far down on people’s priority list.”Apparently, Obama got numerous groans and eye rolls when he told friends the foundation would be hosting an event discussing pluralism and democracy.I bet!It’s easy to imagine why no one wanted to hear about alleged threats to democracy after a free and fair election. We heard about it for what seemed like an eternity during the presidential…
If the fight over Congress’ continuing resolution is any indication, the incoming Republican-controlled body likely will be defined by chaos. Republican lawmakers, who cling to a razor-thin majority in the House of Representatives, will likely just wait for directions from President Donald Trump – or from his most-vocal surrogates, such as Elon Musk.You can take protests from a handful of conservative House members over excessive spending with the proverbial grain of salt. The federal government is indeed awash in debt. The national debt clock rings in at more than $36 trillion and it’s rapidly rising. But instead of reining in…
As we enter into Christmas week, the holiday season is peaking. And as many gather with family and friends around the Christmas tree, it shouldn’t be forgotten that it truly is a joyous holiday season. Because this time of year is of special importance to many peoples and faiths.From the day the baby Jesus arrived in his unique incarnation as God-made-man, to the menorah that miraculously burned for eight days in the ruined Temple of Jerusalem, to the celebration of family, community and culture that is Kwanzaa.And during occasions that are often diminished by commercialization, it is time to stress…
