Barry, you are saddened by the “shift to the extreme right” because of Dr. Veltmeyer’s four or five opinion pieces that ran last year? You see a problem with us running a doctor questioning the effectiveness of masks, but see no problem with us printing your pieces or dozens of John Terrell’s views? That is opinion and not news. Do you think the left leaning letters and op-eds we print are more important than the right leaning ones? Should we ban one or the other and not all... Full story

COVID-19 has claimed the lives of about 1.8 million people worldwide, approximately 27,000 of which are right here in California. The virus captures our attention, while many other long-standing issues are ignored. We aren’t prepared for the next drought, wildfires pose an ever-increasing threat, and our insufficient power grid has led to rolling blackouts as a fire prevention tactic. Violent crime is rising, and our already-failing education system is in shambles after a...
In this week’s Village News, (1/14/21), an announcement soliciting advertisers included this: “We’re proud of our brand of trusted journalism.” Journalism? Really? I’ve been saddened by the shift to the extreme right of the Village News in recent months. We have James Veltmeyer’s pooh-poohing the use of face masks. And the reports from the Epoch Times (which consistently calls the coronavirus the “Chinese Communist Party virus”). And the slanted articles such as the one comparing Trump’s pardons of his criminal cronies...
The unrepentant left has just hijacked the Presidential election. Determined to destroy President Trump, Lady Liberty’s enemies have successfully conspired to overturn his re-election bid. The progressive left, fearing no legal repercussions, has dishonored the sacrifices made by our Founding Fathers, who devoted their lives to ensure "Liberty and Justice" for all Americans in perpetuity. But it appears we are about to embark on a dark journey where "wokeness" and "Cancel Culture" redefine our country's foundational p...
We must get the COVID-19 vaccine to San Diegans! To me, this is the most important task in San Diego County. While our COVID-19 numbers continue to rise, we know there is light at the end of the tunnel. We’ve known for months the vaccine would be here, but unfortunately the state isn’t acting fast enough. As of last week, California had received about 1.3 million vaccines for distribution, but unfortunately only 35% of the vaccines had been distributed. That’s not good enoug...
Dear Representative Issa, You are complicit in the recent insurrection on the American Capitol. Jan. 6, 2021 will live in infamy for the rest of U.S. history, and you will be remembered as an opponent of democracy. Your refusal to certify election results, with zero evidence of widespread voter fraud, goes against the oath that you swore to protect. Rather than protect the basic principles of democracy, you, along with other members of the Republican party, chose to advance your political careers by promoting lies and conspir...
Thank you Ms. Reeder, for the timeline of events at the Capitol as we now see was instigated by the Antifa and BLM agitators and a handful of misguided Trump supporters. Antifa member John Sullivan, proud Founder of Insurgence USA, was portrayed as a journalist on CNN yet the idiot video tapped his insurrection party inciting misguided Trump supporters. No CNN vetting here. Aside from a few followers led astray by Sullivan and other Antifa members the other 99% were peaceful demonstrators. The fake news only showed the 1%...
I recently received an email from Arch Health that contained this paragraph: “On Jan. 13, 2021 at 12:30 p.m., Governor Newsom announced that the COVID-19 vaccine is now available to patients 65 years and older. However, the County of San Diego has not changed local guidelines. Please check our website for the most up-to-date Arch Health Information regarding the COVID-19 vaccination.” Jim Desmond has been quick to criticize school and business closings but has done nothing to correct the issue about getting more vaccine sup...
WASHINGTON – When a 14-year-old girl ran away from her Virginia home after a family conflict in 2018, law enforcement feared she could be vulnerable. Agents from the FBI’s Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force found the teenager at a known brothel in Maryland. After investigators built trust with her, she told them she had met Daniel Palacios Rodriguez while trying to survive on the streets. Rodriguez groomed her for prostitution. He slowly introduced her into sexual exploitation, and she was eventually tra...

WASHINGTON – The U.S. Small Business Administration has already forgiven more than 1.1 million Paycheck Protection Program loans for over $100 billion, providing an extraordinary amount of critical relief to America’s small businesses three months since the earliest PPP borrowers’ covered periods ended. “Today’s news is a key indicator that the PPP is working for all small businesses across our Nation,” SBA administrator Jovita Carranza said. “For any eligible small business continuing to struggle due to the coronavirus p...
WASHINGTON – The overwhelming majority of people arrested for living illegally in the U.S. by federal authorities in 2020 had an average of four criminal convictions or charges, according to a year-end report published by the government. In the document Immigration and Customs Enforcement said it arrested 103,603 people living in the country illegally in the 2019-2020 fiscal year with more than 374,000 convictions and charges. Driving under the influence was the most common conviction or charge at 74,000, followed by drug c...
President Joe Biden’s decision to immediately ask Congress to offer legal status to an estimated 11 million people in the country has surprised advocates given how the issue has long divided Democrats and Republicans, even within their own parties. Biden said Saturday, Jan. 16, he will announce legislation his first day in office to provide a path to citizenship for millions of immigrants in the United States illegally, according to four people briefed on his plans. The president-elect campaigned on a path to citizenship f...

FALLBROOK – North County Fire Protection District spokesperson Capt. John Choi reported Friday, Jan. 15 that the department was able to locate and return two lost hikers, one of which suffered a fall, after they got lost "fairly far away" from the Monserate Mountain Trail in Fallbrook. Capt. Choi reported that NCFPD called in an ASTREA aircraft to help locate the hikers, and when they did, it guided the department's ground troops to them and they returned the pair back to safety.

The average number of new daily cases in the Fallbrook area has gone up again after county data last week showed it had declined for the first time since the start of the current coronavirus wave.

Per a statement from the California Highway Patrol, the Acura left the roadway to the right, impacted a bollard (post) and water hydrant, then went airborne before coming to rest on its left side.
