Air Force wants owners to give up property near secret Area 51

The owners include descendants of a couple who lost their hardscrabble mining enterprise after the Air Force moved in in the 1940s.

A  city with homeless on its streets is a city that has no love of its people. The so-called “progressive” view, that people have a right to live on the sidewalk, is not only legally devoid of any merit but is inhumane, indecent and dangerous. As is the case in many other policies — redistribution of wealth, social engineering, weak national defense — it’s a contradiction to describe this stance as progressive. It should properly be regarded as retrogressive.
