4 red wines you can fall back on in autumn

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:44:00 GMT

They say even a broken clock is right twice a day. So, when it came to a late-season daylight saving time change who knew they would get it exactly right? One day it was warm and summery and the next it was autumnal and raining. Somewhere, somehow someone is high-fiving someone else.I don’t know about you, but warm weather makes the enjoyment of red wine sometimes problematic. There are many restaurants that don’t seem to know the difference between room temperature and proper serving temperature. Or they just don’t care. Nothing makes red wine less enjoyable than it coming to you just under body temperature. But fall fixes a lot of that for us. And after this particularly humid and prolonged summer, I, for one, am really ready for some red wine, whatever the temperature. But when it comes to the switch from white wine to red wine, sometimes it is best to lean into it slowly. For that reason, I have assembled a few “lighter”-styled local-ish red wines that go equally well with swimm...

Cabrillo College board censures trustee over social media posts

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:44:00 GMT

WATSONVILLE — Despite a recommendation by an ad hoc panel against censuring Trustee Steve Trujillo over profane posts on his personal Facebook page, the Cabrillo College Governing Board of Trustees at its Monday meeting voted 7-1 to censure Trujillo.The decision stemmed from complaints received over public posts on Trujillo’s Facebook page made between March and July and directed at national political figures, which the complainant found to be inappropriate, “misogynistic” and “racist” against “white European people in history.”The cited posts include derogatory language directed at national political figures such as former President Donald Trump, Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema and Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, as well as female Republican voters.Cabrillo College Trustee Steve Trujillo.

French: ‘MAGA Mike Johnson’ and our broken Christian politics

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:44:00 GMT

There are two moments from Mike Johnson’s early days as speaker of the House that almost perfectly encapsulate the broken way that so many Republican evangelicals approach politics. The first occurred just after the House elected Johnson. ABC’s Rachel Scott started to ask Johnson about his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. But before she could finish, Johnson’s Republican colleagues started to shout her down. Johnson simply shook his head. “Next question,” he said, as if the query wasn’t worth his time. It was the kind of conduct that led Florida Republican Matt Gaetz to dub the new speaker “MAGA Mike Johnson.”The second moment came in his first extended interview as speaker, when Johnson shared the basis of his political philosophy with Sean Hannity of Fox News: “Someone asked me today in the media, they said, ‘It’s curious, people are curious. What does Mike Johnson think about any issue under the sun?’ I said, ‘Well, go pick up a Bible off your shelf and read it.’ That’s my ...
