Trump treasury pick Mnuchin tied to smelly banking
Trump is not "draining the swamp," he is releasing bigger alligators into it.— December 5, 2016 9:21 a.m.
Stroke victim sues sheriff's department
Don there has to be more to the story. They may have pushed their way in because she was a danger to herself (or others) by burning uncustomary kindle in her fireplace. When you have fire and police responding to a complaint that constitutes a public danger, the rules about warrants do not apply. These folks have permission to execute their duty to protect life and property without being granted a search warrant.— November 29, 2016 10 p.m.
Wall Street doesn’t seem impressed with either print or online newspapers
tronc uses the same website tools for the L.A. Times. The L.A. Times style took over San Diego. The Chicago Tribune (also owned by tronc) also looks identical. Even the Del Mar Times is using the same style. This is aimed at centralizing all their web services. They can outsource much of the backroom work. They are using "contract reporters" who file their stories from home. They are becoming something of Huffington Post business model. But what do they do with all their print subscribers and assets?— November 23, 2016 5:39 p.m.
Execs pledged their stock as loan collateral
It was Little Dougie, Doug McClain Jr. who is serving 15 years in federal prison and ordered to pay a $81 million fine. Like father, like son. His father, Doug McClain Sr. was engaged in organized crime and was a figure behind several affinity frauds, busting out coal mines and money laundering. Doug McClain Jr.s' sidekick, James T. Miceli, got started in Chicago as a builder who would take deposits for custom homes and never build them. He served time in Illinois prison for assorted financial misdeeds. Later he would serve time in federal prison and was released in 2012. Evidently he was not inclined to return.— November 22, 2016 11:59 a.m.
Jeff Weinstein flays the Prophet Vegetarian Restaurant
Loved that place, I used to eat there when I was a teenager. They had really good Carob milkshakes, decent food and friendly staff.— November 21, 2016 3:29 p.m.
Citizens victors over NFL greed
Not only the voters are unhappy with the Chargers, their fans are too. Look at all the empty field level seats at the Chargers v. Titans game. http://www.sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2016/n…— November 21, 2016 1:21 p.m.
Citizens victors over NFL greed
This post was hijacked by a jackal that wants to shift the conversation to some "local" cultural argument. That if you were not born here, you don't understand the Charger's culture. So to that I have to again resort to lowering my intellectual constraints to a newcomer to these comments and say that I feel there is no positive or reasonable economic solution to the NFL's quest to build a stage for their entertainment here. A stadium is just a stage for their show, It's an NFL show, not a San Diego show. The proceeds of your tickets go to the team, the NFL company and its millionaire employees. This is a business. The circus that comes to town every year does not ask for free rent for their tents. Why should we pay for a multi-billion dollar enterprise seasonal business stage for $ billion dollars?— November 20, 2016 10:43 p.m.

Critic trades in cell phone for a padded cell
Before I say more, it is illegal to use them in the U.S. The FCC claims public safety as the reason. But they are used in prisons and other government facilities. Unless you get fingered by an angry mob of text-deprived millennials, you have little to worry about. The FCC would usually investigate fixed signal jamming installations, especially if they jam a nearby tower (and not just nearby phones). That said, I first began using one years ago when I commuted daily on the Pacific Surfliner. I got tired of listeing to annoying loud conversations. So I packed the signal jammer in my lap top case. Eventually people would leave my car. And eventually, I was fingered for having a jammer even though they never saw it and could not prove it. With the regular passengers I was the common denominator with the dead signal zone. So i began wearing noise cancelling headphones instead. The device is slightly larger and thicker than a pack of cigarettes. You can put it inside the pocket of a jacket. It's silent and can operate on a charge for about 2 hours. You can find them on websites such as jammer-store.com— November 18, 2016 6:33 p.m.
Balboa Park bypass bridge and parking project okayed
