If you've spent the last 40 years living in a rent controlled apartment in Santa Monica, you can thank Tom Hayden for it. He wrote the City's rent control charter amendment, enacted by the voters in 1978. Perhaps no single person had more influence on Santa Monica in the 20th century. He died quietly last night at his home in Santa Monica at 76 years of age. Tom Hayden, the preeminent 1960s radical who roused a generation of alienated young Americans, became a symbol of milita...
Today, the Las Vegas Review became the third major US Daily newspaper to endorse Donald Trump for President. "Yes, Mr. Trump's impulsiveness and overheated rhetoric alienate many voters.

The two took podiums, and the first topic was the Supreme Court. Wallace: Is the Constitution a living document, Mrs. Clinton? Clinton: The Supreme Court raises the central question, which is what kind of country are we going to be?

But it is important not to reverse LGBTQ, that we stand up for workers rights, the S Ct should...

The Obama administration officially accused Russia of orchestrating hacking efforts to interfere with the election process on Friday. It cannot be doubted that the US administration will have to retaliate for this act of cyberwarfare. The retribution may take the form of a cyber counterattack--what the US did a few years ago to get back at the North Koreans for hacking Sony studios in Culver City, CA. We may never know what it is, or whether it's effective. "I love...

When we see a 68 year old woman running against a 70 year old man, do we not subconsciously think....

Chelsea and Bill Clinton also star in the video, enjoying the show. Is it really so...
The Oregon Zoo has released a video of its female 10 month old polar bear Nora, frolicking in a pool of ice. It's difficult to imagine something cuter, involving a young ferocious predator.

Wounded before the debate, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump came out swinging in Sunday night's debate. He was on his game, and Hillary Clinton's smiles seemed a little insincere.

Clinton merely nodded at Trump, who slowed when it became clear that she would not be extending her hand....
