Right off the press release from Asm Tangipas office, Major Terry Slatic reacts to the planned early release of convicted child predator Gregory Vogelsang. His release into Fresno was halted, after Assemblymember David Tangipa intervened. Vogelsang, serving more than 350 years for abusing multiple young boys, will now face a new hearing that could reverse his release.  The Trump administration didn’t fail to perceive the Hormuz Strait risk. It bet a regime survivor (aka an Iranian Delcy Rodríguez) would quickly sue for peace and make the issue moot. Call it a case of scenario fixation syndrome.  Last week as Iran laid mines in the Persian Gulf, four of the U.S. Navy’s few specialist minesweepers were on the move to Philadelphia and their eventual decommissioning. The Navy hasn’t had a significant mine clearing capability in decades. Now it faces having to deal with the risk of mines in one of the world’s most important waterways while the West’s thinking on how to deal with the seaborne threat is in flux.  Please Like, Comment and Follow 'Philip Teresi on KMJ' on all platforms:   ---    Philip Teresi on KMJ is available on the KMJNOW app, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever else you listen to podcasts.    --  Philip Teresi on KMJ  Weekdays 2-6 PM Pacific on News/Talk 580 AM & 105.9 FM KMJ    | Website  | Facebook | Instagram | X | Podcast | Amazon |   -  Everything KMJ   KMJNOW App | Podcasts | Facebook | X | Instagram

The deputies had argued that Afroman’s viral music videos—such as “Lemon Pound Cake,” featuring footage from a 2022 raid—damaged their reputations and caused threats, but the court found his videos were protected speech.  Val Kilmer will be resurrected via AI for a posthumous role in the feature film As Deep as the Grave.

Two Republicans—Steve Hilton and Chad Bianco—are leading the crowded California governor primary, narrowly edging out Democrats due to widespread voter apathy.

A 12-year study of over 1,600 adults found that those who closely followed the MIND diet—rich in leafy greens, berries, fish, and olive oil, while limiting fried foods and red meat—had brains that appeared roughly 2.5 years younger on MRI scans.  A new University of Michigan‑led survey finds that about 19 million Americans (7%) have seriously thought about shooting someone, including 8.7 million within the past year, though most do not act on these thoughts. While firearm ownership wasn’t tied to these thoughts, respondents who considered shooting someone were more likely to either bring a gun to a location or plan to acquire one—highlighting critical intervention opportunities.  Nicotine pouches — like Zyn — have exploded in popularity, but instead of ending up in trash bins, they’re turning up as litter everywhere from urinals to sidewalks, rivaling cigarette butts as a sanitation nuisance. 

Dolores Huerta, the iconic United Farm Workers leader, publicly accused co-founder Cesar Chavez of sexually assaulting her twice in the 1960s and fathering two of her children—claims she kept secret for decades to protect the movement.

Councilmember Miguel Arias plans to introduce a motion on March 26 proposing to restore the original names—California Avenue, Ventura Street, and Kings Canyon Road—to segments previously renamed Cesar Chavez Boulevard. The move comes in response to sexual abuse allegations against Chavez, which have prompted intense community backlash.  Gov. Gavin Newsom said he's considering renaming César Chávez Day in California after disturbing sexual abuse allegations surfaced involving the late labor leader—including accusations from Dolores Huerta.  He emphasized the importance of honoring the broader farmworker movement rather than one individual, calling the situation a “sensitive moment” and suggesting conversations are already underway.  Chief Justice John G.

The Wall Street Journal argues that coverage of Iran has become relentlessly one‑sided and alarmist, dominated by worst‑case scenarios that downplay Tehran’s own aggression and internal weaknesses. The editorial says Americans are being fed “only bad news fit to print,” distorting public understanding of the conflict and overstating Iran’s strength while ignoring its strategic failures and domestic instability.  One of the United States’ top counterterrorism officials resigned on Tuesday, citing his opposition to the war in Iran and what he said was Israel’s influence over the Trump administration’s policies, a sign of emerging divisions in the Republican coalition.  Please Like, Comment and Follow 'Philip Teresi on KMJ' on all platforms: ---  Philip Teresi on KMJ is available on the KMJNOW app, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever else you listen to podcasts.  -- Philip Teresi on KMJ Weekdays 2-6 PM Pacific on News/Talk 580 AM & 105.9 FM KMJ  | Website  | Facebook | Instagram | X | Podcast | Amazon | - Everything KMJ KMJNOW App | Podcasts | Facebook | X | Instagram

About 83% of Americans, including roughly 71% of Democrats, support requiring photo ID to vote, per Pew Research—making it one of the most popular provisions in the GOP’s SAVE America Act.  However, Democrats say the broader legislation—including proof-of-citizenship requirements—amounts to modern voter suppression and liken it to Jim Crow laws.  President Trump has nominated Sen.

Assemblymember Alexandra Macedo checks in with Philip Teresi after a CBS News investigation found that hundreds of hospice providers in Los Angeles County show signs of widespread fraud, including fake offices, stolen patient identities, and massive overbilling of Medicare. More than 700 hospices triggered fraud red flags, with some billing double or triple the national average per patient, despite years of promised state crackdowns.  Please Like, Comment and Follow 'Philip Teresi on KMJ' on all platforms:   ---    Philip Teresi on KMJ is available on the KMJNOW app, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever else you listen to podcasts.    --  Philip Teresi on KMJ  Weekdays 2-6 PM Pacific on News/Talk 580 AM & 105.9 FM KMJ    | Website  | Facebook | Instagram | X | Podcast | Amazon |   -  Everything KMJ   KMJNOW App | Podcasts | Facebook | X | Instagram

Students and alumni at Roosevelt High are urging Fresno Unified to save the school’s only fashion design course, which is slated for possible elimination due to low enrollment of fewer than 20 students.

Many residents say they heard it before they saw it.  Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, 36, stormed into a classroom inside ODU’s Constant Hall and asked if it was an ROTC class. When someone confirmed that it was, he launched the suspected terror attack, shooting the professor several times, law enforcement sources said.

There are new questions on Wednesday about the war with Iran and whether the country would consider attacking the United States and California in particular. Gov. Gavin Newsom addressed those reports on Wednesday. “As it relates to drone strikes, we have been aware of that information,” he said. “We have been working collaboratively through the (SOC), which we established right after the war began -- the State Operations Center. Working with the Office of Emergency Services, but also working locally to make sure we transmit any information that we have received.”  Kai Trump, the 18-year-old granddaughter of President Donald Trump, brought her Secret Service detail and all her YouTube followers along on a run to luxury grocery store Erewhon, sparking widespread criticism on social media.  Fresno and the Central Valley could see temperatures rise as high as 90 degrees by early next week — unseasonably warm weather that may signal a hotter spring and summer this year. JP Kalb, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service’s Hanford office, said the warmer weather is the result of a large pressure system off the California coast and is thwarting rainy weather.  A Texas spaceflight company is planning a rocket launch today for the first time in nearly a year from California. And despite the vehicle's smaller stature just shy of 100 feet tall, Firefly Aerospace's Alpha rocket is projected to be widely visible across the West Coast.  A faulty 12‑volt battery caused a Cadillac Lyriq EV in Antioch to shut down completely, trapping a 1‑year‑old baby inside while all electronic locks, key fobs, the mobile app, and even OnStar stopped working.

The governing board for the state’s third-largest school district will discuss eliminating more positions at Wednesday’s meeting, according to the meeting agenda.

Large language models were able to deanonymize 68% of users in the test dataset — and when they did, the identifications were 90% accurate. Researchers from ETH Zurich, MATS, and Anthropic say AI can pull subtle “identity signals” from writing style, behavior patterns, and data matching, essentially breaking the long‑held assumption that burner accounts are safe.
