Santa Barbara County population increases while state sees decline By KAITLYN SCHALLHORN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Although California’s overall population declined last year, Santa Barbara added to the number of people in the county. A new report from the California Department of Finance found the state’s population dipped by more than 117,000 people last year. Its estimated total population as of Jan. 1 was 39,185,605 people, according to the report released Monday. The Department of Finance pointed to a slowdown in a natural increase in population — meaning, more people have died and fewer younger people are having children — as a reason for the decrease in population. It said population totals were also impacted by COVID-19 deaths, federal policies restricting immigration and more domestic out-migration. The report said every coastal county except Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo and Santa Cruz saw population decreases. The Department of Finance attributed the return of college students to campus for the growth seen in those three counties. An estimated 445,164 people lived in Santa

Barbara County as of Jan. 1, according to data from the Finance Department. That’s a 0.3% increase from 443,674 from Jan. 1, 2021. However, the cities of Buellton, Carpinteria, Goleta, Guadalupe, Lompoc, Santa Barbara, Santa Maria and Solvang all saw decreases in population from 2021 to 2022. Buellton and Solvang clocked the greatest decreases at 2.5% each. Carpinteria and the city of Santa Barbara followed at 2.3% and 2.2% respectively. Unincorporated Santa Barbara County increased in population by 4.5%. San Luis Obispo County had a 0.4% increase in population from 2021 to 2022 with an estimated 280,721 people living in the county as of Jan. 1. The city of San Luis Obispo reported a 0.2% increase in population, but Arroyo Grande, Atascadero, El Paso de Robles, Grover Beach, Morro Bay and Pismo Beach reported slight population decreases. Ventura County had a 0.8% decrease in population from 2021 to 2022 with an estimated 833,652 people living in the county as of Jan. 1. Santa Paula had a 0.9% increase in

66833 00050

population from the previous year, but Camarillo, Fillmore, Moorpark, Ojai, Oxnard, Port Hueneme, San Buenaventura, Simi Valley and Thousand Oaks all reported population decreases. The 10 largest cities in California are: Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, San Francisco, Fresno, Sacramento, Long Beach, Oakland, Bakersfield and Anaheim. Only San Diego, Fresno, Long Beach and Bakersfield saw population increases in 2022 from 2021. The 10 fastest-growing cities are Santa Cruz, Lathrop, Seaside, Irvine, Menifee, Berkeley, Stanton, Delano, Chino and Manteca. Santa Cruz’s population increased in 2022 from the prior year by 11.3%, according to the report. Yolo and San Benito were the only two counties to have growth above 1%. Yolo’s population increased 1.8% due to increases in college group quarters, and San Benito increased 1.1% because of housing gains.

On Monday morning, a Ukrainian drone destroyed two Russian Raptor-class patrol ships near Snake Island in the Black Sea. This follows the weekend visit of a congressional delegation led by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. According to Ukrainian Chief of General Staff Valeriy Zaluzhniy, the Russian vessels were destroyed in a dawn attack. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has become the highest ranking U.S. official to visit Ukraine during the war. The surprise visit added fuel to a growing fire of Western support for the Ukrainian resistance. The trip follows Moscow’s refocused military campaign that is struggling to make notable gains in eastern Ukraine. As Kyiv’s allies are increasing military support, both sides seem to be preparing for the likelihood of a long conflict. “We are visiting you to say thank you for your fight for freedom. Your fight is a fight for everyone, and so our commitment is to be there for you until the fight is done.” Speaker Pelosi said during a meeting with Ukrainian officials, reported NBC News. President Zelensky expressed his gratitude for the “powerful signal of support.” “This shows that the United States today is a leader in strong

support for Ukraine during the war against the aggression of the Russian Federation,” said President Zelensky. Accompanying Speaker Pelosi on the trip were Reps. Jason Crow, D-Colo., Jim McGovern, D-Mass., Gregory Meeks, DN.Y., and Adam Schiff, D-Calif. This is the second major trip by U.S. officials, following a visit the previous weekend by Secretaries Lloyd Austin and Antony Blinken. Also part of the delegation were Reps. Barbara Lee, D-Calif., and Bill Keating, D-Mass, while it is not clear whether or not they were on the trip. “Our Congressional Delegation had the solemn opportunity and extraordinary honor of meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and other top Ukrainian officials in Kyiv. Our delegation traveled to Kyiv to send an unmistakable and resounding message to the entire world: America stands firmly with Ukraine,” said Speaker Pelosi in a press release on Sunday. The congressional delegation is continuing on to Poland after their weekend visit in Kyiv. According to the UN’s Human Rights office, more than 3,000 civilians have died in Ukraine since Russia began its invasion. “The EU Commission is currently considering the inclusion of a total embargo on Russia’s fossil fuels in its sixth round of sanctions against Moscow,” reported Forbes. email: kzehnder@newspress.com

Water cutbacks to affect 6 million in Southern California By KAITLYN SCHALLHORN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

RAFAEL MALDONADO / NEWS-PRESS FILE

Lake Cachuma and Bradbury Dam are seen in 2021. The lake is one of several sources of water used by Santa Barbara.

County. Nearby Kern County is labeled in the “extreme drought” category which is worse. Aside from the State Water Project, Santa Barbara also utilizes the Cachuma Reservoir, Gibraltar Reservoir, Devil’s Canyon Creek, Mission Tunnel, groundwater, and recycled water as resources. California is in its third year of drought, with the first three months of 2022 bringing the lowest precipitation on record, according to the Department of Water Resources. Drought is a gradual event that is based on impacts on water users — which can vary by location. Rainfall and runoff, the

amount of water in storage or the expected water supply from a wholesaler can be measured and used to determine drought conditions. As of Monday evening, 64% of groundwater wells were at below normal levels, 28% were at normal levels and 8% were at normal levels, according to California’s live statistics. Last week, the Metropolitan Water District’s board declared a water shortage emergency for areas dependent on the State Water Project which led to the once-a-week outdoor watering restriction. Impacted agencies are Calleguas Municipal Water District, Inland Empire Utilities

Agency, Las Virgenes Municipal Water District, Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, Three Valleys Municipal Water District and Upper San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District. It will be up to the member agencies to enforce the water cutbacks on consumers. “We’re doing everything we can to alleviate the immediate crisis and make investments to avoid this from happening again. But now we need the public’s help,” Gloria D. Gray, the Metropolitan Water District’s chairwoman, said. “We can get through this by working together.” email: kschallhorn@newspress.com

San Marcos High School principal Kip Glazer will depart at the end of the school year. In an email to the San Marcos community Monday, Dr. Glazer said she is moving to the Bay Area with her husband later this year to be closer to family. She will take over as principal of Mountain View High School. “The decision has not been easy, as I have come to love this school community so very much. It has truly been an honor and privilege to serve you, and I will miss being an active member of the Royals family,” Dr. Glazer said. “I will be forever grateful for my time serving the Royals community and hope that what we’ve built together will aid in the school continuing to take innovative steps forward,” she continued. Dr. Glazer’s final day will be June 30. “I have mixed emotions today, as Dr. Glazer’s energy is infectious and is a great loss for not just San Marcos, but also the entire district,” Santa Barbara Unified School District Superintendent Dr. Hilda Maldonado said in a statement to the News-Press. “Having said that, I do know that this is a great opportunity for Dr. Glazer, both personally and professionally, and we always want to support our staff to do what is best for them. We thank her for her dedication to San Marcos, and wish her the best of luck moving forward.” Dr. Glazer is a native of Seoul, South Korea, who immigrated to the U.S. in 1993. She is an alumna of California Polytechnic University and has a master’s degree from Chapman University as well as a doctorate in learning technologies from Pepperdine University. She is a former English and social studies teacher at Santa Maria Joint Union High School District where she instructed A.P. literature courses, second-language learner classes, U.S. and world history classes, economics courses and more. Her career has taken her to the Kern High School District in Bakersfield and to the Kern County Office of Education Migrant Program where she served as a pre-college program writing instructor, according to her biography. Dr. Glazer has worked with the Digital Youth Network connecting high school seniors with students at Chicago middle schools and is the former assistant principal in charge of athletics, activities and discipline at La Cañada High School. She took over as San Marcos High’s principal in 2019. In her email to the San Marcos community, Dr. Glazer said she would work with SBUSD leaders on the transition. email: kschallhorn@newspress.com

(The Center Square) – A survey by a rural health organization regarding COVID19 vaccines shows apprehension by many about getting the shot. The National Rural Health Organization, with locations in Illinois, paired with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to find out how adults, parents and teens in rural areas feel about getting vaccinated. Only 15% of rural adults and 14% of teens believe vaccines are good protection from diseases. Nearly 40% of rural teens said they are concerned the vaccines may result in serious side effects, which Amy Elizondo, chief strategy officer with the NRHA, said is very revealing. “We wanted to get perspective within these groups that we haven’t readily heard from, in particular rural teenagers, the first time they have been surveyed in this particular topic area,” Ms. Elizondo said. Vaccination rates in many rural areas of Illinois lag behind urban areas, as many

southern counties are reporting full vaccination rates lower than 40%, including in Alexander County, where less than a fourth of the population is fully vaccinated. Thirty percent of adults surveyed said the information they receive about vaccines is reliable and trustworthy, but many were not so sure. “When looking at barriers to vaccination, folks reported feeling overwhelmed by the information and misinformation,” Ms. Elizondo said. Health care providers are the most trusted source for COVID-19 vaccine information across all three rural samples (71%+ say they trust their health care provider “a lot” or “some” when receiving COVID-19 vaccine advice or information), of the options tested. When asked about their current level of concern about COVID-19 in general, 31% of rural adults said they were very concerned, while only 12% of teens reported the same. This poll was conducted between Feb. 1 and Feb. 22 among a sample of 1,806 rural adults, 475 rural parents and 220 rural teens.

CALIFORNIA

An estimated 6 million people in Southern California will face water cutbacks next month — including some residents of Ventura County. Will Santa Barbara be impacted? The short answer is no. The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California will impose restrictions limiting outdoor watering to just one day a week beginning on June 1. The restrictions apply to cities and communities in Ventura, Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties that depend on water from Northern California from the State Water Project. Santa Barbara isn’t in Metropolitan Water District’s service area so it is not impacted by the latest restrictions. However, the county does utilize the State Water Project as one of its water resources. But conservation efforts have propped Santa Barbara up to be in relatively “good shape” as the drought continues. “[W]e are in good shape, and we have sufficient water supplies to meet demands for the next three years,” Joshua Haggmark, the Water Resources Manager for the city of Santa Barbara, told the News-Press in an email. “Having said that, the current drought is serious, and we will be talking with our Water Commission and Council about taking steps to encourage more water conservation.” In March, Mr. Haggmark told the Santa Barbara City Council the city has been conservative with its water supply planning strategy and should not expect any water shortages for the next couple of years. Santa Barbara is using approximately 25% less water than it was using in 2013 — something that’s been consistent across the board over the past few years, he said. That 25% has resulted in about 3,400 acre-feet saved each year in Santa Barbara compared to 2013. The U.S. Drought Monitor labeled Santa Barbara in the “severe drought” category as of its last update on April 28. Ventura County is in the “severe drought” category also, as is the majority of San Luis Obispo

California expands Medi-Cal eligibility for individuals 50 and older By MADISON HIRNEISEN THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – Thousands of income-eligible Californians age 50 and older now qualify for Medi-Cal coverage under a change that took effect Sunday. Medi-Cal is the state’s Medicaid program for low-income individuals and others who qualify based on their age, disability, or living in a skilled nursing or intermediate care home. More than 13 million Californians relied on the program last year for health coverage regardless of immigration status, according to

a 2021 report from the California Health Care Foundation. The Department of Health Care Services lists total enrollment at 14.4 million in February, 2022. Under the new expansion, an estimated 185,000 Californians who are 50 and older are now eligible for the program, regardless of their immigration status, according to the governor’s office. “This is an investment in our people, our economy, and our future. But we’re not stopping there,” Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a statement. “California is on the path to expand Medi-Cal to all eligible Californians regardless

of age or immigration status, providing the most comprehensive health coverage in the entire country.” The expansion comes as a result of legislation signed by Gov. Newsom last year. The governor’s budget proposal includes $52.5 million in fiscal year 2021-2022 and $589.8 million in fiscal year 2022-2023 to support the expansion costs, the Department of Health Care Services told The Center Square in an email. DHCS estimates that $104.7 million of the total cost will be reimbursed by the federal government “for qualifying emergency and pregnancy-related

services.” The governor’s proposed budget also includes $71.6 million in state funds in the coming fiscal year for this population in the In-Home Supportive Services program, according to DHCS. This is not the first time California has moved to expand Medi-Cal eligibility based on age. In 2016, children and teens under age 19 became eligible for fullscope Medi-Cal coverage, and in 2020, that coverage was expanded

to individuals 19 to 25, regardless of immigration status. “These Californians now have a place where they can coordinate all of their medical, dental, mental, and substance use disorder needs, and a primary care physician to better manage their health conditions,” State Medicaid Director Jacey Cooper said in a statement. “Everyone benefits from ensuring access for all Californians, and many of us know someone who depends

on Medi-Cal for vital health coverage.” Gov. Newsom has proposed a further expansion of MediCal eligibility in the 2022-2023 budget, which would offer MediCal coverage to income-eligible adults ages 26 to 49, regardless of immigration status, no sooner than January 2024. His office estimates this expansion could apply to more than 700,000 adults and make Medi-Cal available to all income-eligible Californians.

Gaetz blasts Mayorkas at congressional hearing By BETHANY BLANKLEY THE CENTER SQUARE CONTRIBUTOR

(The Center Square) – Florida Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz blasted Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas at a recent House Judiciary Committee hearing on border security. In his line of questioning, Rep. Gaetz asked Mr. Mayorkas about the removal process of 1.2 million people who are in the U.S. illegally who’ve been given deportation orders by judges and haven’t been removed. “1.2 million people are undetained, free, roaming about the country,” Rep. Gaetz said. “They’ve gone before a judge. A judge has issued a final order of removal.” “How many ICE agents do you need to deport them?” he asked Mr. Mayorkas. Mr. Mayorkas replied, “Congressman, I think what we need is legislation to fix the broken immigration system.” “We don’t need legislation to overcome a final order of removal,” Rep. Gaetz replied. “I get it. You want comprehensive immigration reform and a big amnesty thing. Very unlikely that’s going to happen. So, we have to operate under the laws that exist now. So, under the laws that exist now, a judge has told 1.2 million people that they have no right to be here.” He asked Mr. Mayorkas again, “Do you plan to remove those 1.2 million people?” He also asked again how much money DHS needed to deport them. In response, Mr. Mayorkas said, “Congressman, there are a number of questions that your question raises with respect to whether all of those individuals actually have been given due process.” Rep. Gaetz interrupted him saying due process had been followed. He told Mr. Mayorkas, “You don’t have any plans to remove them. You don’t know how many ICE agents it will take, and you don’t know how much money it would take because you actually don’t want to remove them.” The congressman referred to a Sept. 30 memo Mr. Mayorkas issued drastically limiting ICE agents’ ability to deport those in the country illegally. He paraphrased the contents of the memo, saying it “says, ‘well, if you haven’t committed a crime and you just came to our country illegally, we’re not going to remove you,’” asking Mr. Mayorkas, “Isn’t that your position?” Mr. Mayorkas responded, “No, it isn’t.”

In his line of questioning, Rep. Gaetz asked Mr. Mayorkas about the removal process of 1.2 million people who are in the U.S. illegally who’ve been given deportation orders by judges and haven’t been removed. Mr. Mayorkas then asked Rep. Gaetz, “If one has a finite amount of resources, and one has a finite number of hours, and one has a choice of removing 20 shoplifters or three fugitive armed bank robbers, how would you spend your time?” “I know how you’ve spent yours,” Rep. Gaetz replied. “By decreasing by 48% the number of criminals you’ve arrested. By deporting 63% fewer convicted criminals. “You have the lowest deportation rate in the history of the department. Right?” The data Rep. Gaetz cited, Mr. Mayorkas said, “is misleading.” “No, it’s your data. It’s actually what your own agency is reporting,” Rep. Gaetz said. When it comes to those who’ve been released into the U.S., he asked Mr. Mayorkas if some of them would be committing crimes in the U.S. Mr. Mayorkas said, “undoubtedly.” “So, Americans who are the victims of the crimes from the people that you release into the country are collateral damage that you are willing to accept in order to have our border function as a turnstyle,” Rep. Gaetz said. In response, Mr. Mayorkas said, “Congressman I couldn’t disagree with you more.” Mr. Mayorkas attempted to provide data he said was accurate but wasn’t given the opportunity to do so.

That’s an increase of more than 3 million registered voters since a similar report was issued in April 2018, according to the secretary of state. “I am proud that California voters are stepping up and registering to vote,” Secretary Shirley Weber said. “With universal vote-bymail and other voting options, casting your ballot is easier than ever.” Since the 2018 report, the percentage of California voters registered with a qualified political party increased from 74.12% to 76.03%. And the percentage of voters who did not have a party preference decreased from 25.11% to 22.77%. In San Luis Obispo, 84.48% (182,829 out of

216,421) of eligible voters are registered. And the split between registered Democrats and Republicans is fairly narrow: 38.10% and 34.42% respectively. In Ventura County, 86.45% (506,895 out of 586,358) of eligible voters are registered. Nearly 43.4% are registered Democrats, and 28.28% are registered Republicans. In the 24th congressional district — which includes Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo and Ventura counties — 439,947 people are registered to vote. Nearly 45.5% are registered Democrats, and 26.51% are registered Republicans. The statewide primary election is scheduled for June 7. email: kschallhorn@newspress.com

By SCOTT MCCLALLEN THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s two covert plans to convict Michigan militia members accused of plotting to overthrow the government have failed so far but share striking similarities. In 2010, officers arrested nine Hutaree militia members for allegedly planning to kill a police officer and then bomb the funeral. But just two men pleaded guilty to weapons charges, and a judge acquitted the remaining seven defendants in 2012. “This plan is utterly short on specifics,” District Judge Victoria Robert wrote. “[I]t is a stretch to infer that other members of the Hutaree knew of this plan, and agreed to further it.” In 2020, authorities claimed to stop a militia’s attempt to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer over her COVID restrictions. Officers arrested 13 men on state and federal charges. Two men pleaded guilty after a two-year investigation, two are headed for retrial, and a jury acquitted two others on April 8, 2022. Eight men face separate state charges. The two plots share commonalities: • Multiple FBI informants (two

In 2020, authorities claimed to stop a militia’s attempt to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer over her COVID restrictions. Officers arrested 13 men on state and federal charges. in 2010 and 12 in 2020). • The FBI started investigating partly over alleged threats to kill cops. • The FBI paid substantial amounts to advance the plots (at least $31,000 in 2010 and $80,000 in 2020). • Future violent actions didn’t support the militia’s violent words. In the 2012 case, the FBI rented a warehouse in Ann Arbor for the militia to store and discuss weapons and explosives. In the 2020 case, the FBI offered to sell explosives to the militia, but the men couldn’t pool $4,000. In the 2020 case, FBI informantturned-double-agent Stephen Robeson organized and drove members to meetings in Ohio in June and July 2020, where he bought “pizza, moonshine, and paid for attendees’ hotel rooms.” The FBI paid him about $20,000. In the 2010 case, FBI informant Dan Murray joined the militia in 2008, and another informant, Steve Haug, posed as a trucker to infiltrate alleged group leader David Stone’s life and served as

best man at his wedding. Still, they didn’t obtain enough evidence to convince a judge that the militia plotted to kill police. “The government’s case is built largely of circumstantial evidence,” Judge Roberts wrote in her 27-page order. “While this evidence could certainly lead a rational fact-finder to conclude that ‘something fishy’ was going on, it does not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that defendants reached a concrete agreement to forcibly oppose the United States government.” An Associated Press report says FBI agent Leslie Larsen wrote in an email that they aimed to get the militia to “bite on additional explosives and weapons activity,” despite the 2010 plot never escalating. The militia faced charges of seditious conspiracy (a maximum 20-year sentence), attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction (a maximum sentence of life in prison), teaching explosives materials (a maximum 20-year sentence), and a weapons charge during a violent crime (a minimum

of five years in prison). 2020 defense lawyer Attorney Nicholas Somberg said the accused men were too busy “chain-smoking” marijuana and getting drunk to plot, so the FBI goaded the men on instead. For example, FBI informant Dan Chappel suggested alleged ringleader Adam Fox surveil Gov. Whitmer’s vacation home, target her boat, and shoot an ammunition round through her cottage window. As of Aug. 1, 2020 – two months before their capture, the men hadn’t yet selected a plan. On Sept. 5, 2020 – one month and three days before the sting arrest – FBI Special Agent Jayson Chambers texted an informant: “Mission is to kill the governor specifically.” “The FBI provided all of the training, ammunition, money, guns, transportation, and lodging,” Mr. Somberg said in a phone interview with The Center Square. “They drove these guys across the country in a nice Suburban and then put them up in a place to stay.”

A Post-Pandemic Mother’s Day

ontrary to the urban myth, Mother’s Day was not invented by a greeting card company (that was Valentine’s Day). Its history can be traced back to the 1600s, which makes it almost as old as guilt. I asked my almost-daughter (that’s another column) her feelings about the day, for she just had her first child. She says that “I think Mother’s Day should start when you’re pregnant, because if I’m going to cut out my cup of morning coffee and evening glass of wine for a year, I better damn well get some flowers and a box of chocolates.” I’ll never know what it means to be a mother, but I totally honor the amount of work, risk, and tears it takes to do the job well. Personally, it’s a good thing I’m a guy because I don’t think I would have the strength to be a mother. A line

from The Golden Girls sums it up: “It’s not easy being a mother. If it were easy, fathers would do it.” Some of us have less than typical child-parent relationships. For example, I was adopted, many kids live in blended families, and some children are raised by relatives or by other people besides their biological parents. I don’t think that this changes anything when it comes to Mother’s Day. If a loving woman raised you, and you think of her as your mother—or one of your mothers—then there is a reason for celebration. Oprah Winfrey once said, “Biology is the least of what makes someone a mother.” There’s something more to Mother’s Day than meets the eye. Inside yourself, you know if that emotional bond between the two

of you is there or not. You know the depth of your love or what it is that needs to be healed in order for more positive feelings to flow. It makes sense to put your gripes aside for the day and allow yourself to focus on whatever goodness you can find and feel. As the old Jewish proverb says, “God could not be everywhere, so he created mothers.” Even though things could always be better, if your mother (or reasonable facsimile) is in your life, take the day to focus on what you have. Not on what you didn’t get or what you had to sacrifice. There was more than enough positive influence from her to get you where you are today. No matter how she made it happen, your mom did what she needed

to do to get you to adulthood. And she did it simply because she wanted to. The comedian Phyllis Diller said, “It would seem that something which means poverty, disorder, and violence every single day should be avoided entirely, but the desire to beget children is a natural urge.” If your mom isn’t around, grab someone whose kids aren’t with them and celebrate the day together. There’s no need to pretend that Mother’s Day doesn’t exist. Barton Goldsmith, Ph.D. is an award-winning psychotherapist and humanitarian.

Every number in the codeword grid is ‘code’ for a letter of the alphabet. Thus, the number 2 may correspond to the letter L, for instance. All puzzles come with a few letters to start. Your first move should be to enter these letters in the puzzle grid. If the letter S is in the box at the bottom of the page underneath the number 2, your first move should be to find all cells numbered 2 in the grid and enter the letter S. Cross the letter S off the list at the bottom of the grid. Remember that at the end you should have a different letter of the alphabet in each of the numbered boxes 1- 26, and a word in English in each of the horizontal and vertical runs on the codeword grid.

LIBRA — You have a rather strange day in front of you, Libra. The celestial atmosphere could be playing tricks on you. You might get aggravated for no reason at all, that is, unless it’s because you’ve been meeting too many people who don’t appreciate the original way you go about doing things. You may feel as if you live in a world full of dinosaurs. SCORPIO — You might be upset by certain financial matters today, Scorpio. Either you realize just how much you’ve been spending lately or you see that things will be tight in the months ahead. It’s possible you invested a good deal of money in something that could have waited, and now you can’t invest in something much more important. SAGITTARIUS — Just for today, Sagittarius, ignore your habit of always trying to find an explanation for everything. Something is changing inside you and in the way you react to situations. The desire to incorporate life’s more unpredictable aspects into your personality is the basis for these changes. A lot of your theories are only there to reassure you, but you probably know that. CAPRICORN — The planets want to make a deal with you today, Capricorn. Either you stay in bed fantasizing about life as a CEO or rock star or you get up, get dressed, and do what you have to do to make your dreams come true. Try and convince yourself once and for all that you don’t have to lose your childlike wonder when you enter the real world. AQUARIUS — It’s possible you could meet someone today who will act as a kind of Pygmalion for you. You need to be surrounded and encouraged by people who believe in you, Aquarius, and it’s good for you have people around to support you. If you do meet this kind of person, don’t be a showoff. Listen to what he or she has to say to you. It’s for your own good. PISCES — You are particularly inspired by and sensitive to crisis situations. What that means is that you can’t stand to see other people suffer. Sometimes even you suffer because you don’t allow yourself to do the things you like best and the things that help you feel fulfilled as a person. Why don’t you think about going easier on yourself, just for today? Try it - you might like it!

HOROSCOPE

ARIES — Days like today push you to act in the areas of your life where you may have hesitated before. Does your love life need a breath of fresh air? Have you been dreaming of a nice candlelit dinner with your partner? A weekend in the country? A new home? It’s time to stop dreaming of happiness and do what you need to do to get it. TAURUS — You might have questions about the satisfaction you feel about your personal life, Taurus. It’s possible you have more demands than ever. Things seem so urgent to you now. Why not take advantage of this attitude to talk about your deepest desires with your partner? Things will be much clearer. You may just need to express some of your negative emotions. GEMINI — Today is excellent for just letting your intuition guide you, Gemini. If you have time, you might want to let your mind go and follow the train of thought wherever it takes you. You could find something out about yourself of which you unaware, something just waiting to be noticed. Remember, your desires are fantasies before they become realties, so dream a little. CANCER — Today is the kind of day when all you want to do is think about a vacation. You’re usually such a responsible, conscientious worker that you can afford to escape for just a few minutes. You could visit the world inside of you. You may even find something that’s been on your mind for quite some time that requires some action by you now. LEO — You are an excellent friend, and you take pride in helping the people around you. Have you ever thought about getting involved in a humanitarian cause or giving a few hours of your time every week to your local community? Today, Leo, these kinds of ideas could become a real part of your life. It’s time to use all of your great ideas to help others. VIRGO — Your natural compassion may have led you to choose a profession in which healing or helping other people is your primary duty. Even if this isn’t the case, Virgo, the people around you may seem particularly demanding today. But be careful not to go beyond your personal limits or else you could be the one who needs other people’s help!

Conservatives urge Paxton, Abbott to declare border crisis an ‘invasion’ By BETHANY BLANKLEY

Republican Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich was the first attorney general in U.S. history to issue an opinion declaring an invasion.

THE CENTER SQUARE CONTRIBUTOR

(The Center Square) – For nearly a year, conservatives in Texas have been calling on state Attorney General Ken Paxton and Gov. Greg Abbott to declare the influx of people and drugs illegally entering Texas as an invasion. It’s been a month since Republican state Rep. Matt Krause, chair of the Committee on General Investigating, requested Paxton to provide a legal opinion on the matter. He asked Mr. Paxton to determine if the federal government has failed to uphold its obligations to protect Texas from invasion under Article IV, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution and whether Texas has the sovereign power to defend itself from invasion. Responses usually take a minimum of 180 days. However, speculation continues over whether Paxton will issue an opinion before the May 24 runoff election after not receiving 50% of the vote in the March 1 primary election. Rep. Krause and others have told The Center Square the AG’s office is working on the opinion. Mr. Paxton’s office didn’t respond to requests for comment. “The situation at the border is unsustainable and only getting worse,”

Rep. Krause told The Center Square. “It’s the reason I asked our attorney general for an opinion on whether the federal government has violated its constitutional duty in Article 4, Section 4 and whether an invasion has occurred. Action must be taken now.” Republican Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich was the first attorney general in U.S. history to issue an opinion declaring an invasion. He argued the Biden administration has failed in its constitutional obligation to protect Arizona from an invasion and the governor has the constitutional authority to defend Arizona. Gov. Doug Ducey, however, has not yet declared an invasion. “When the courts have not issued an opinion on an important issue, then the attorney general’s opinion has the effect of law until a court overturns it,” Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert, who ran against Mr. Paxton in the Republican primary and lost, told The Center Square. At a law enforcement roundtable in San Antonio last week, Gov. Abbott told reporters he’d been looking into the invasion opinion since he was attorney

general prior to becoming governor. He said, “There are some issues that we’re looking at that we’ve been provided no answer on.” But Kinney County Attorney Brent Smith told The Center Square, “The solution to our border crisis already exists in the Texas and U.S. constitutions. The question is whether our elected officials will govern according to the constitution and preserve our state. Texas is running out of time.” Mr. Smith has called on Mr. Paxton and Gov. Abbott to declare the border crisis an invasion since last June. Kinney County, which shares a 16mile border with Mexico, was the first county to issue an emergency disaster declaration last April over the border crisis. It continues to be “threatened with imminent harm by the continual occurrences of human smuggling and sex trafficking being carried out by criminal organizations,” Mr. Smith said. “Federal courts have recognized that such trafficking carried out by criminal organizations along our southern border threatens the safety and security of our

nation and its citizens.” “We are in the midst of an active invasion the Biden administration is inviting,” Sheena Rodriguez, president of Secure the Border, told The Center Square. “The state of Texas cannot depend on the federal government to uphold its duty to protect Texans. “Texas has the constitutional and moral obligation to defend its citizens when the federal government won’t. The authority is there. The question is, do our elected state officials have the grit and fortitude to do what is right and necessary to protect Texans?” Referring to those entering Texas illegally, Gov. Abbott also told reporters last week, “These are people who already have papers to roam freely into the United States. As soon as we drop them off across the border, they would just come right back across the border. And so all we would be doing is creating a revolving door.” But by busing illegal immigrants to Washington, D.C., Gov. Abbott’s actions are no different than those of the administration’s, critics argue.

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki thanked Gov. Abbott for “helping them get to their final destination as they await the outcome of their immigration proceedings.” Former chair of the Republican Party of Texas, Lt. Col. Allen West (Ret.), asked, “who pays for this ‘stuck on stupid’ idea? Busses? Gas? Food? Is this what the budget surplus will be used for instead of property tax relief? “You don’t stop an invasion by transporting the invading entity,” he said. “Article 4, Section 7 of the Texas Constitution directs the governor “to ‘repel invasions,’ not bus them.” “It is way past time for Gov. Abbott to immediately to proclaim this an invasion, declare an emergency, convene our legislature, and invoke the Constitutional provision that would allow local law enforcement and National Guard troops to stop migrants at the border and send them back to Mexico,” JoAnn Fleming, executive director of Grassroots America-We The People, told The Center Square. ‘This situation worsens every day and giving voluntary trips to D.C. on the taxpayers’ dime will not solve it. Governors have the constitutional authority and a duty to protect their states from invasion.”
