Last Friday, Noah Green, age 25, went on a rampage ramming his car into two Capitol police officers who he never met. Then he jumped out of his car with a knife and attacked them. He killed officer William “Billy” Evans and was killed himself. He knew what his fate would be that day. Green seemed to be a nice guy. He was good looking, successful in sports, educated with a degree in finance and part of a large family that cared about him and tried to care for him in the las...

A border wall. Smugglers. Small children being dropped into America in the darkness. A grainy video released Wednesday, March 31, by authorities – its figures visible only in ghostly white outline, its stark storyline dramatic and obvious – captures, in mere seconds, the dangers for migrant children at the southern U.S. border. A man straddling a 14-foot barrier near Santa Teresa, New Mexico, lowers a toddler while holding onto one arm. With the child dangling, he lets go....
The gunman who killed four people and critically wounded a fifth at a Southern California office building knew all the victims and apparently before opening fire chained shut the gates to two entrances, delaying police from getting inside, authorities said Thursday, April 1. Among the victims of the “horrific massacre” Wednesday afternoon, March 31, was a 9-year-old boy who was found cradled in the arms of a woman believed to be his mother, Orange County district attorney Todd Spitzer said. The woman was the only sur...
The National Institutes of Health has “systematically thwarted” government oversight of dangerous pathogen research, Richard H. Ebright, professor of chemical biology at Rutgers University, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. The P3CO Review Framework was created in 2017 after a three-year pause on government funding of research that intentionally makes pathogens more deadly or transmissible. An NIH grant that involved the modification of bat-based coronaviruses and the transfer of $600,000 to the Wuhan Institute of Virolo...

We continue to make great progress in our fight against COVID-19. San Diego County expects a strong supply of vaccines to arrive over the next few weeks, which has allowed those 50 and over to become eligible for the vaccine.

We've administered over 1.7 million vaccines to San Diegans and that number continues to climb. The...
Every woman in America can understand the anxiety that comes with the changing of the seasons. Even though men believe all women have too many clothes, most people know it’s a myth. Women can never have too many clothes. They can have too small closets, most certainly. If women can agree on no other topic, let everyone say a big amen that their clothes closets are too small. Even while designers continue to shrink their sizes to save money, – girls, you know it’s true – wom...
I’ve just read your article in the latest Village News edition, regarding the COVID-19 updates. It was good to see a list of the people who have disabilities or illnesses that are now available to receive vaccines, but it was hard for me to see that one had to have a computer with internet service to access that list. I fully realize that it is 2021, but I can’t believe that I am the only person in San Diego County that does not have internet service and a computer. What would it cost to list a telephone number for help? Wha...
The Employment Development Department has been mired in crisis for more than a year now. The massive backlog in unemployment claim processing hasn’t really budged, millions of daily calls go unanswered, fraud is rampant – estimated at $11 to $31 billion – and appeals can take over three months; the failure list is long. There’s plenty of blame to go around too. Former Governor Jerry Brown ignored a 2011 audit that pointed out EDD’s shortcomings, and new directives from the...

Temecula's famous author of the Perry Mason series, Erle Stanley Gardner, was affectionately called "Uncle Erle" by his secretaries and younger friends. Gardner lived on a big ranch he called Rancho del Paisano which is now within the Pechanga Tribe's reservation boundaries southwest of the casino. The ranch with many outbuildings was a perfect compound for the many people who were part of his "Fiction Factory." Gardner, who was more complex and interesting than any of his...

SAN DIEGO – Dan McAllister, treasurer-tax collector of San Diego County, reminded taxpayers Thursday, April 1, that they have just days left to pay the second installment of their 2020-2021 property taxes before they face a 10% penalty plus a $10 fee. “Our offices are still closed to the public, but we have a good alternative way to pay: Go online to http://sdttc.com and use an e-check,” McAllister said. “The normal delinquent date of April 10 falls on a Saturday, so you have two extra days to send in those payment...

The tsunami also flooded Japan's Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear power plant, which melted its cores and leaked radiation. More than 18,000 people died, and many others were r...
