LOS ANGELES (AP) - There may be no such thing as bad publicity, but the spotlight on "Joker" is testing the limits of that old cliche. The origin story about the classic Batman villain has inspired pieces both in defense of and against the movie. It's been hailed as the thing that's going to finally get Joaquin Phoenix an Oscar and also decried for being "dangerous," ''irresponsible" and even "incel-friendly." Last week, some parents of victims of the 2012 Aurora movie...
SACRAMENTO (AP) — Defying the NCAA, California's governor signed a first-in-the-nation law Monday that will let college athletes hire agents and make money from endorsements — a move that could upend amateur sports in the U.S. and trigger a legal challenge. Under the law, which takes effect in 2023, students at public and private universities in the state will be allowed to sign deals with sneaker companies, soft drink makers or other advertisers and profit from their images, names or likenesses, just like the pros. "It's goi...
LOS ANGELES (CNS) - Rosh Hashana, the two-day holiday marking the Jewish New Year and ushering in a 10-day period of repentance and contemplation, begins at sundown today amid concerns about safety by some Southland Jews. "Certainly in the past couple of years, people have become more anxious,'' Rabbi Jonathan Kupetz of Temple Beth Israel, a Reform congregation in Pomona, told CBS2. American Jews experienced near-record levels of attacks in 2018, including the deadliest attack against the Jewish community on U.S. soil,...

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) - Philip Rivers threw for 310 yards and two scores Sunday to help the Chargers win in Miami for the first time in 38 years, 30-10. Rivers completed 24 of 30 attempts with no interceptions and directed a 10½-minute drive in the third quarter that helped Los Angeles take control. The Dolphins (0-4) held a lead for the first time this season, but it lasted only 3 minutes, 49 seconds. They've been outscored 163-26 this season, which is the NFL's...
NEW YORK (AP) - The DreamWorks animated adventure "Abominable" has topped the box office with an estimated $20.9 million, while the Renee Zellweger-led Judy Garland tale "Judy" got off to a sonorous start. "Abominable" was the weekend's sole new wide release. It's a U.S.-China co-production between Universal's DreamWorks and China's Pearl Studios, so its performance in China will be vital to its success. A handful of holdovers stayed strong. Last week's No. 1 film, "Downton...
DAVIS (AP) — The National Weather Service says a tornado touched down in a California field as thunderstorms swept through the central part of the state. Cell phone video posted online shows the towering vortex spinning Saturday near Davis. NWS forecaster Emily Heller tells the San Francisco Chronicle there was no damage.

The storm dropped a layer of d...

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Syria's top diplomat on Saturday demanded the immediate withdrawal of American and Turkish forces from the country and said his government reserves the right to defend its territory in any way necessary if they remain. Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem's remarks to the United Nations General Assembly were made as Turkey and the United States press ahead with a deal to create a safe zone along Syria's border with Turkey. On the political front, he reaffirmed the government's support for the recently a...
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexican officials say they have broken up a human smuggling ring that earned around $40,000 a week helping migrants mostly from South America and India reach the United States. The Security Ministry said Saturday that on average the group moved 25 migrants a week, receiving Ecuadoreans and Peruvians at the Mexico City airport and Indian nationals at the Cancun airport. They would then gather the migrants in safe houses in the Mexican capital before placing them on buses to the northern city of Mexicali, j...
POULTNEY, Vt. (AP) — As colleges and universities come alive this fall, some campuses sit closed and empty after succumbing to a recent wave of fewer students and financial challenges. Now communities that long hosted those historic institutions and relied on them for an economic boost — and their very identity — are left to adapt to the vacancy and wondering what comes next. In Poultney, Vermont, population 3,300, Green Mountain College had occupied a prominent spot at the end of the main street for 185 years. That chang...
DEL MAR (CNS) - The two-day Crossroads of the West Gun Show will kick off at the Del Mar Fairgrounds today, the first gun show at the fairgrounds since last December. The state's 22nd District Agricultural Association Board of Directors, which oversees events at the fairgrounds, voted last September to suspend all future gun shows amid pressure from local residents and gun control activists. The fairgrounds hosted the last Crossroads of the West show Dec. 8 and 9 last year. Assembly members Todd Gloria, D-San Diego, and...
JENNIFER McDERMOTT and MIKE SCHNEIDER Associated Press PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - In an age of rapidly advancing computer power, the U.S. Census Bureau recently undertook an experiment to see if census answers could threaten the privacy of the people who fill out the questionnaires. The agency went back to the last national headcount, in 2010, and reconstructed individual profiles from thousands of publicly available tables. It then matched those records against other public...

Jake Goodrick, Bridgette Waltermire, Natalie Anderson and Christian Gravius Associated Press CARSON – With natural disasters increasing in frequency and intensity, first responders are finding it more difficult to reach and rescue the thousands of victims of floods, hurricanes, tornadoes and wildfires. Throughout the country, many emergency units have fewer people to navigate disaster response, meaning they must do more with less. "So even if you were the slickest agency in the world, and you dealt with disasters all the t...
Nasser Karimi - The Associated Press TEHRAN, Iran - Iran's president called Sunday on Western powers to leave the security of the Persian Gulf to regional nations led by Tehran, criticizing a new U.S.-led coalition patrolling the region's waterways as nationwide parades showcased the Islamic Republic's military arsenal.

Petr Svab - The Epoch Times Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg acknowledged the company has a problem with political bias, according to Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), who spoke to Zuckerberg on Capitol Hill behind closed doors on Sept. 19. Bias is "an issue we’ve struggled with for a long time," Zuckerberg said, according to Hawley’s Sept. 19 Twitter post. Hawley said he confronted Zuckerberg regarding suppression of content of anti-abortion groups, specifically Live Action, an advocacy group led by Lila Rose. "Zu...
The Epoch Times As much as Beijing heaves vitriol on cryptocurrencies – having banned all exchanges, issuers and miners – it has no qualms about introducing its own. The People’s Bank of China has been secretly working on its own version of digital currency for years, and reports indicate that its state-controlled central bank digital currency (CBDC) could be released as early as this year. Citing insiders, a Forbes report gives a launch date of Nov. 11, which also happens to be "Singles Day," China’s biggest online shoppin...
There are many scientists who have a healthy, science-based skepticism regarding climate change and who don’t believe it’s responsible to create such social anxiety in our young people and that it is less about science and more about ideology. Global warming is the biggest public policy issue of our generation, and there are those who want to spend possibly hundreds of trillions of tax dollars to fight it. How many degrees are we talking about? Just how much global war...

Another week, another proposed tax, thanks to the state’s largest public labor unions and civil rights groups, who don’t feel that residents pay enough taxes. Astonishing.

California has the highest state income tax at 13.3%, the highest state sales tax at 7.25%, the highest gasoline prices because of the taxes added on, the sixth highest vehicle registration fees because of the tax added on and the 16th highest pro...
