A new Cato national survey released July 22, finds that self‐censorship is on the rise in the United States. Nearly two-thirds-62%-of Americans say the political climate these days prevents them from saying things they believe because others might find them offensive. The share of Americans who self‐censor has risen several points since 2017 when 58% of Americans agreed with this statement. These fears cross partisan lines. Majorities of Democrats (52%), indepen...

An anthropological museum in Balboa Park that was known as the Museum of Man for more than 40 years has a new name – the Museum of Us. The renaming of the museum is part of a broader effort to reassess its role in the community and “a new identity that better reflects our work toward equity, inclusion and decolonization,” according to a museum statement. Discussion of changing the name began as far back as 1991 after community members said the gendering of the museum’s name made some feel unwelcome. The name change announceme...
Summer is certainly upon us and, based on past experience, it's only going to get hotter before it gets cooler. I didn't need to tell you that at the beginning of August, did I? Since high summer temperatures and less-than-ideal conditions for roses are inevitable for the next couple of months, let's get ready. Stroll through your gardens in the morning and look for leaf wilt, drying or discoloring of leaves and the general leaf reflectance or surface luster. If it appears...

California appears to be getting a grip on a resurgence of the coronavirus, Gov. Gavin Newsom said Monday, Aug. 3, though he warned the state is a long way from reopening some of the businesses it shuttered for a second time in July because of rising infections and hospitalizations. The average weekly number of positive tests is down by a fifth, to 7,764 from its peak of nearly 9,900 a week ago. The seven-day rate of tests coming back positive statewide had peaked at nearly 8% late last month but has fallen to 6.1%, he said,...
President Donald Trump signed into law legislation Tuesday, Aug. 4, that will devote nearly $3 billion annually to conservation projects, outdoor recreation and maintenance of national parks and other public lands. The measure was overwhelmingly approved by Congress.

Manufacturing in the United States, as measured by a key business activity gauge, surged to a 15-month high in July, exceeding economists’ expectations. The Institute for Supply Management business survey, published Monday, Aug. 3, showed that its topline manufacturing activity indicator, called the Purchasing Managers’ Index, surged to a reading of 54.2 in July. Readings above 50 indicate expansion, while those below mean contraction. “The PMI signaled a continued rebuilding of economic activity in July and reached its highe...
Kelyn Yanez used to clean homes during the day and wait tables at night in the Houston area before the coronavirus. But the mother of three lost both jobs in March because of the pandemic and now is facing eviction.

She has no idea how she will meet her August...
For shop owner Theresa Morris, The Shop Around the Corner in Fallbrook is more than just a retail location. "There's a lot more that happens here than meets the eye," Morris said. "Though I thought I was starting a bookstore/gift store, from the very beginning, probably within the first couple of days, I had people coming in who were complete strangers to me that would come in and look around. "I'd start chatting with them, we'd end up sitting and having coffee and tea, and...
A number of years ago, on the way to work I would drive past a church that liked to put witty sayings on its sign. Sometimes they were corny, but there was one that really caught my eye. It said, “Get caught in one lie, and a thousand truths will be doubted.” Do you have the reputation of being a teller of the truth? Do people trust what you say? Let’s take a few minutes to examine ways people may be guilty of not being truthful, even though not “technically” telling a...
As residents approach November’s election, everyone should be aware of the many attempts to add taxes on your income and your property. Make no mistake, every new tax will impact housing. The less income individuals retain, the less an individual can afford to spend. With housing being one of the largest expenditures for an individual or a family, even $100 less in expendable income will impact what a buyer can afford or even if they can purchase at all. It’s so int...

BONSALL – The newest animal in residence at Wild Wonders in Bonsall is a link to how scientists are solving an overpopulation problem on the other side of the Atlantic. It's been over 700 years since a Eurasian lynx has been seen in Scottish forests. That loss may be about to change via a well-planned reintroduction program to bring the apex predator back into remote areas. Biologists and wildlife conservationists are working with locals so that they understand that the l...

A failure,” Abbott told the board during its Tuesday, July 28, telephonic meeting. “And then those include...
