A non-injury fire was reported in Anza yesterday around 11a.  It began in an outbuilding, damaging that structure and burning about a quarter acre of brush before it was stopped.  It happened near Jay Dee and La Cima Lanes.  Multiple engine crews responded, defending a home in the path of the flames. https://patch.com/california/temecula/firefighters-douse-blaze-east-temecula

Three people were hurt – two seriously in a crash between an SUV and a car in Winchester yesterday afternoon.  It happened at 1:25p at Winchester and Holland Roads.  Investigators believe one of the drivers ran a red light.  The car crashed into a light pole, trapping its two occupants.  Both were taken to Inland Valley Medical Center in Wildomar along with the driver of the SUV, whose injuries were less severe. https://patch.com/california/temecula/3-hurt-2-critically-collision-winchester-intersection

One month after the city of Oceanside opened a Safe Parking site that allows people to sleep in their vehicles overnight while they try to get back on their feet, people who live near the site have mixed reactions.  The site at 1919 Apple St. has 25 parking spaces along with hygiene stations, restrooms and connections for services including job training and permanent housing assistance.  The lot is operated in cooperation with Dreams for Change, who operate several other Safe Parking sites in San Diego County.  Just before Oceanside’s lot opened, this year’s point-in-time count for the city showed a decrease to 318 people living on the streets. https://www.10news.com/news/local-news/oceanside-hopes-to-reduce-homeless-population-with-safe-parking-program

Federal health officials said today that nearly four dozen people in 18 states have been sickened in an expanding outbreak of salmonella food poisoning tied to recalled cucumbers, most of which went to restaurants, hospitals, cruise ships and grocery stores, including Target stores.  The Centers for Disease Control says the outbreak includes people aboard six different cruise ships that departed from U.S. ports between late March and mid-April. The true number of people sickened is likely much higher and the outbreak could affect additional states.  Several produce companies have issued recalls.  https://www.pressenterprise.com/2025/05/30/salmonella-cucumbers-recall/

BUSINE$$

As of midday trading on Wall Street, stocks were down.  The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell a third of a percent.  The S&P 500 was off by ¾ of a percent.  The Nasdaq was down 1 ¼%.  Gold fell as well, dropping almost $28 on the Comex to $3,316.10 an ounce.  West Texas Intermediate Crude oil futures were off by 40 cents at $60.54 a barrel.

Today’s Wall Street selloff appears to have been prompted by flaring trade tensions as President Trump claimed this morning on social media that China “totally violated” the US trade agreement made on May 12.  He did not list specifics.  But U.S. trade representative Jamieson Greer told CNBC “the Chinese are slow-rolling their compliance.” https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-05-30/trump-says-china-violated-its-trade-agreement-with-us

After once calling it a disaster, President Trump is in Pittsburgh today to celebrate the new “partnership” (his word) between America’s US Steel and Japan’s Nippon Steel.  Trump’s calling it a partnership is a way to spin the fact that US Steel will no longer be an American company.  Both President Biden and Trump during his 2024 campaign were against the merger on national security grounds.  President Trump ordered a national security review last month and announced his approval a week ago, saying the deal will add $14b to the US economy and create at least 70k jobs.  Though details have not been released, experts say the deal is clearly an acquisition by Nippon – not a partnership between the two steelmakers.    https://www.npr.org/2025/05/30/g-s1-69715/up-first-newsletter-us-steel-japan-elon-musk-doge-harvard-university-international-students

Elon Musk is leaving the Department of Government Efficiency to re-focus on his companies and repair the damage done there by his unpopularity as a government administrator.  But the DOGE will live on and possibly be more successful without his high-profile actions drawing constant criticism.  An overabundance of enthusiasm in trying to cut President Trump’s-claimed two trillion dollars in government waste resulted in mass firings and department closures that in some cases had to be reversed, creating even more waste.  Actual savings were downgraded from an initially-revised one trillion dollars down to $160b with most of it unaccounted for on the agency’s website.  Moving forward, the DOGE without Musk will continue to restructure government with its data collection and push to downsize the workforce, but on a more measured scale and deliberate pace.  https://www.npr.org/2025/05/30/g-s1-69715/up-first-newsletter-us-steel-japan-elon-musk-doge-harvard-university-international-students

 

LIFESTYLE / GREEN LIVING

New this weekend at the movies, two wide releases, neither of which is expected to be serious competition for last week’s blockbuster, “Lilo and Stitch”.  Described as “the return to the original Karate Kid franchise,” “Karate Kid: Legends” stars Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio along with a new generation of martial arts competitors.  There’s also a new horror feature, “Bring Her Back”.  Opening in limited release, Benicio del Toro, Scarlett Johansson, Michael Cera and Benedict Cumberbatch star in “The Phoenician Scheme”. https://www.movieinsider.com/movies/may/2025?view=list

Harvard University, the nation’s oldest college can continue enrolling international students thanks to a preliminary injunction issued by a federal judge yesterday.  President Trump had sought to revoke the university’s ability to enroll students on international visas and threatened to withhold funding for Harvard over the issue.  The same judge had already issued an order blocking the administration’s planned actions over enrollment. https://www.npr.org/2025/05/30/g-s1-69715/up-first-newsletter-us-steel-japan-elon-musk-doge-harvard-university-international-students

The actress who won two Emmys for her portrayal of Maj. Margaret “Hot Lips” Houlihan on TV’s M*A*S*H has died at the age of 87.  According to a statement from her publicist, Loretta Swit passed just after noon today in her New York apartment from suspected natural causes.  As part of one of TV’s most honored series, Swit was nominated for ten Emmys and four Golden Globes.  Swit was in all eleven seasons of the sitcom about an Army hospital during the Korean War.  The series lasted almost four times as long as the war.  The daughter of Polish immigrants, against her parents’ wishes young Loretta Jane Szwed embraced acting from the age of 7.  Her first TV appearances were in 1969 and 1970 on “Hawaii Five-O”, “Mission: Impossible”, “Mannix”, and “Gunsmoke”.  Throughout the 1970s she worked in both TV and film, appearing in movies including “Freebie and the Bean” and “S.O.B.” along with some stage work.  She appeared in the pilot for “Cagney and Lacey” as Christine Lacey, but Fox wouldn’t let her out of her contract for MASH and she was replaced by Sharon Gless when the female buddy cop show went into production.  Swit was heavily involved with animal rights organizations and founded the SwitHeart Animal Alliance. It’s requested that any tributes go there or to Actors & Others for Animals. https://variety.com/2025/film/news/loretta-swit-dead-hot-lips-houlihan-mash-1236414311/
