By Jon Coupal California has a lot of problems and not all of them are directly taxpayer related. But, as noted in last week’s column, they all interconnect in one important way: Control. Our state’s government and its boosters think they know better than you. They know better how to spend your money. They know better how to use your land. They know what’s best for you. And, if you disagree, the nanny state will just make it illegal. Look no further than Proposition 31 on this November’s ballot. It’s a referendum on Senate Bill 793, the state...

Preseason games are a time to evaluate talent that you have faith in. They would not be in training camp if the team did not believe they could get the job done. That's what making cuts to trim the roster so hard. Everyone at this level of professional football is a good football player but one or two plays in a preseason game may determine whether they will make the final cut. The Rams play the Houston Texans on Friday at 7 p.m. at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood in their second preseason game. Last...
