Slim and... with a sliver of a chance to make the 2019 NFL Playoffs, the inconsistent Los Angeles Rams will take on the suddenly challenged but playoff-bound San Francisco 49ers this Saturday at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara. After a disappointing 44-21 blowout loss to the Dallas Cowboys this past Sunday at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, the Rams need a miracle to hit the postseason. "We didn't play nearly good enough, didn't coach good enough and these are things we just got to figure out,"...

California Governor Newsom will soon announce his budget for 2019-2020 and guess what the latest projection claims total spending of $101.6 billion. The Los Angeles Times said weeks ago this is a $4.6 billion boast over K-12 school operations from last summer and an astounding increase of $35 billion from what lawmakers approved in 2014. With all this money for wages and pensions will we need another parcel tax? No, in my opinion. I would like to see is a Grand Jury look at the books line by...
I have a great idea to get money to the Culver City Unified School District, so the people won’t need to raise taxes again this year. Over the past 10 or 15 years, the Board of Education must have considered our piggy bank, as a way to balance their budget; look at all the money the Board give to Dr. Arnold.

McLellan will never forget how the Kings completed a memorable comeback in the 2014 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs, becoming the fourth team ever to rally from a 3-0 series d...
