Historical Origins The holiday’s earliest roots are commonly traced to Samhain, an ancient Celtic festival among peoples in Ireland, Britain, and parts of northern France. It marked the end of the harvest and the beginning of winter (roughly October 31–November 1). The Celts believed the boundary between the living and the dead grew thin at this time, allowing spirits, fairies, and other beings to cross over. Customs included lighting bonfires, wearing disguises or costumes t

On Saturday, October 24, 2026, Reform California candidates and supporters gathered at Riverfront Park, next to the Sundial Bridge, for a free community event focused on voter turnout.

Speakers repeatedly noted historically modest loc

If you weren’t front and center on Sunday, 10-18-‘26, for the 1st annual Gaia Hotel “Bikes For Kids” Car Show and Brunch, you missed Ted Blankenheim thanking everyone for coming and explaining to the classic car crowd gathered around that the show proceeds would go towards the purchasing, storing, and distribution of new bicycles for youth in need, including those in foster care.

Meet Jazz and Lola, a pair of long-haired Himalayan mix siblings who somehow haven’t been scooped up yet. These two are the real deal—thick, luxurious coats, big baby-blue eyes, and looks so close to purebred that the vet did a double-take.

In an age when children are told their bodies are mistakes to be corrected and identity can be invented rather than received, one young California woman has stepped forward as a clear-eyed defender of truth. Chloe Cole, now in her early twenties, is a Christian who has turned the irreversible harm done to her as a minor into a sustained public fight for the protection of other children. Her story is not merely a cautionary tale; it is the testimony of a young woman who has pu

Trump described a long-running menace of fraudsters, hackers, and foreign criminal syndicates running scam centers that target Americans through ransomware, phishing, impersonation schemes, and other tactics.
