    Julie Reeder and Joe Naiman, Village News|Updated Nov 30, 2022

    After eight years in the process, the traffic light on South Mission and Green Canyon went active on Tuesday, Nov. 22.

  • OPINION: At what point do unborn babies have civil rights?

    Julie Reeder, Publisher|Updated Sep 29, 2022

    The abortion debate is so emotionally heated on both sides, and for good reason, because what is at the center of it is the intrinsic value and ownership of a human life. How does it affect the debate if you remove the woman from the equation? Because it is no longer only a woman who can create life. Now human life can be created in a lab. I was told last week that some scientists were recently reprimanded for growing human fetuses in their garage. My first reaction, of course... Full story

  • Lady Justice needs a new blindfold

    Julie Reeder, Publisher|Updated Aug 10, 2022

    This week former President Donald Trump’s Mar A Lago estate was raided by the FBI. This move is unprecedented. It has never happened before to any previous president. It’s more of a banana republic move, but one that, unfortunately, isn’t surprising. The sad thing is that the general public is so used to the security agencies going after Trump that they are numb to it. The gravity of how twisted, unjust and unfair it is for one political party to use our tax-payer funde... Full story

    Julie Reeder, Publisher|Updated Jan 7, 2022

    Last week I posted a video on my Facebook from Dr. Robert Malone who is the inventor of the MRNA technology and is himself vaccinated. In it, Malone gave a warning to parents that the vaccine is not a good idea for children, but Facebook decided it was a message that needed to be censored.
