Valley League football play began March 19, and the game in Valley Center ended as a 28-0 Valley Center High School victory over Fallbrook High School. "Just did not execute very well," said Fallbrook coach Troy Everhart. The Jaguars scored 14 points in each half and would have led by an additional touchdown had Thomas McSheehy not recovered a fumble on the Fallbrook 10-yard-line. "That was a huge stand for the kids, I thought," Everhart said. "We had a nice goal line stand." Fallbrook also recovered a Valley Center fumble...

We all know, public safety was front and center last year, and will continue to be a big issue this year. This includes things like officer records, officer training, and oversight, to name a few. The COVID-19 outbreak within our prison system was not handled well, with well-reported outbreaks and deaths among prison staff, including correctional officers, and those incarcerated. In an attempt to reduce drug addiction and repeat offenses, one of my bills, AB 653, will create...
As a lifelong Republican, the last four years were agony for me listening to lie after lie, after lie, after lie, coming out of the White House, Trump rallies and Trump tweets. It all started in 2017 in Charlottesville, Virginia, where former President Donald Trump opened the cult tent of Trumpism to White supremacists, Neo-Nazis, hate groups such as the “Proud Boys,” Oath Keepers and QAnon Doomsday Cult. Like Adolf Hitler, you tell the big lie long enough, you get people to believe you. I’ll focus on the two biggest lies tha...
The author of the subject letter would like to help me “see the light” regarding the evidence of voter fraud. I’d like to return the favor. Trump’s “crack” team of attorneys and a few other supporters filed about 60 lawsuits: about 40 dealt specifically with alleged voter fraud. All 40 were dismissed because they lacked one critical thing: evidence! The author said: “The left shuts down when asked to voice their opinion and defend it.” I can’t speak for others, but I voice my opinion and defend it, as my contributions her...
While our culture is in division and we are distracted with first world issues like canceling Mr. Potato Head, Pepe LePew and Dr. Suess, it is interesting to me the juxtaposition of having one of our top award shows, the Grammys, almost simultaneously showcasing women entertainers rolling all over on the floor while singing a song with words we can’t even print because it would be considered pornographic. While we are being ridiculous, creating race wars and infecting our c...
