Avenatti crashes, but grifters still flourish
Share: There are few presidents who have duped the American people as thoroughly as President Donald Trump. A son of a famous, powerful dynasty built on inherited wealth and dubious tax schemes managed to convince nearly half of American voters that he is a self-made billionaire businessman who is eager to look after the interests of everyday Americans. Befittingly, the media in the Age of Trump has provided a platform for a parade of similarly shameless grifters seeking to emulate the President’s political and financial …
Take one: Foothill Restaurant offers awful food and dreadful drinks
Share: Foothill Restaurant lies off the beaten path near the PCC Rosemead campus. And even that may be too nice of a location for it. With absurd prices yielding a terrible experience, Foothill Restaurant did not deserve the $46 I paid them. While the eclectic style of restaurant design is fairly popular, Foothill completely missed the mark. From the moment you walk in the door, it looks almost like they purchased whatever was left at a discount furniture after a sale. Several high tables line …
Outrage!
Share: Outrage seems to be a good approach to anything these days. Outrage over politics, outrage over social injustice, outrage via Twitter, outrage everywhere one can.

Why the Raptors can ‘Klaw’ their way to a championship
Share: The Golden State Warriors are the clear favorites by analysts and NBA fans alike to three-peat in the 2019 Finals, and overall, win their fourth title in five seasons. But with a calf injury hampering reigning back-to-back Finals MVP Kevin Durant—which will keep him out for at least half of the series—the Toronto Raptors have a greater chance of dethroning the champs than most analysts are giving them with their superstar in Kawhi “The Klaw” Leonard, depth, defensive versatility and hunger.

The heavy metal legends return
Share: Initially founded in Berlin in 1994, Deutsche Neue Harte band Rammstein rose quickly to fame in the United States, mainly from having been featured on the soundtrack of the David Lynch film “The Lost Highway,” and the massive radio success of their first U.S. single, “Du Hast Mich.” They capitalized on their success by taking part in the infamous Family Values Tour, which featured many metal and alternative bands famous at the time, including Rage Against the Machine and Cypress Hill. While they haven’t …
