California’s leaders seem determined to make life even more challenging and costly for families across our state. Recently, I shared how Assembly Bill X2-1, sponsored by Governor Gavin Newsom, passed the State Senate and gave the California Air Resources Board (CARB) the authority to mandate restrictions on gasoline distribution. This was alarming enough, but just days after the election, CARB has wasted no time in pushing policies that will only raise costs even higher. On F... Full story

Although a first-round CIF Division V-A playoff loss gave Fallbrook High School’s football team a season record of 0-11 for the 2024 season, the 34‑33 score Nov. 8 at Fallbrook was the closest the Warriors were all year to winning a game. “I did expect it to be a close game,” said Fallbrook head coach Ross Johnson. “Both teams had some pretty good offensive weapons.” The 242 rushing yards Monte Vista senior Alexander Villanueva gained against Fallbrook brought his season total to 2,104 in 11 games. “They had the leading runni...

Alcohol, for instance, is widely used in excess, and this has never changed. While our knowledge about moderation and the short and long-term health impacts of alcohol have changed for the better, most Americans face the obstacle of overindulgence during the holidays, deciding whether to avoid the...
"It's not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters," Epictetus, a Greek Stoic philosopher once said.

Does any day really go as planned? As we approach Thanksgiving and Christmas, let’s consider what the ultimate objective is. For each person this answer will be different. For me, it is to enjoy precious time with my friends and family. It f...
