Most people know how it is to go through airport security in post-9/11 America. Experiences vary from person to person, but most people will say it's a hassle to say the least.

But as TSA agents confiscate the bottle of water you can just buy in the airport and take on the plane, a new report shows the agency is really bad at stopping actual threats from getting through security checkpoints.

It was such welcome news this week when a vote taken by a small portion of the student body took aim at the San Diego State University mascot.

The goal of the vote is to "finally" retire the university's Aztec Warrior Mascot.

The images of the "Aztec Warrior" memorializing traditional Indian culture at sporting events and school functions, has been just too much to take these many years.

Our country observes November 11 as Veterans Day every year. This day, previously called Armistice Day to celebrate the end of World War I, morphed into a day to celebrate all of our nation’s veterans, and rightly so. They do a tough job and our country would be much different without them.

If any U.S. senator ever deserved the term "maverick" it might actually be Rand Paul, not his colleague from Arizona. Another term that indisputably applies to the Tea Party Republican is "leader."

Most junior senators make it to the U.S. Senate chamber for the first time and lie low, often for years, and go along with the party's agenda for the most part, build up some political capital, and then start to influence the process.

San Diego is ground zero for a two-day opioid addiction summit designed to educate parents, doctors and the public on the country's "most aggressive epidemic." Health leaders from across the country are in town to discuss ways to curb the nation's growing epidemic of opioid use.

In San Diego alone, at least 37 San Diegans have died from fentanyl-related overdoses this year.

Health officials say that is an all-time record.

Former Interim DNC Chair Donna Brazile dropped a bombshell about the conduct of the DNC in the 2016 presidential campaign that has left many progressives reeling. Bernie supporters largely feel validated in their claim that the primary was rigged, and now a mass exodus from the Democratic Party could be looming.

US Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, who is also a major in the Hawaii National Army Guard, has made veteran issues a top priority while in office. She has sponsored and supported several bills that would improve the lives of servicemen and women, including a bill that passed unanimously in the House Tuesday called the "Veteran Urgent Access to Mental Healthcare Act."
