Before answering his question, "What have Republicans done since 2016 to aid working-class Americans?", I'll note that fully one-half of Terrell's letter speaks approvingly of the abortion of babies, or as he calls it, "reproductive health care." I'll defer to a person such as Shanika Benson to set the record straight about that. Terrell is a believer in Big-Government, which is clear from any of his letters. He evidently thinks that working-class Americans are benefitted by more government "bills," as if yet more laws and... Full story

SAN DIEGO COUNTY – Law enforcement agencies in San Diego County recognize the need for transparent and independent investigations of officer and deputy-involved shootings. It's important to continue building the public's trust by adding another layer of transparency that will ensure no agencies investigate their own shooting incidents. That's why members of the San Diego County Chiefs' and Sheriff's Association have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) which establishes a new countywide protocol for the investigation o...
WASHINGTON, DC – (Pinkston News Service) – In his March 31 proclamation marking April as Second Chance Month, President Biden said “by supporting people who are committed to rectifying their mistakes, redefining themselves, and making meaningful contributions to society, we help reduce recidivism and build safer communities.” As corporate America struggles with a labor shortage gap, some businesses are hiring individuals with criminal backgrounds to fill open job roles. Last year, a group of approximately 40 major corpora...
SAN DIEGO – Since Senate Bill 1383 became law on Jan. 1 of this year, Feeding San Diego, the county’s leading hunger-relief and food rescue organization, has seen a nearly 25% increase in the pounds of edible food donations and has onboarded 25 new food donors. SB 1383 is a California law that mandates certain businesses that generate food waste donate the maximum amount of surplus edible food fit for human consumption to hunger relief organizations like Feeding San Diego. Feeding San Diego calls this food rescue and has bee...

Community volunteers (for various nonprofits) have created their own universe. The community benefit district is going to benefit only the coalition. None of the projects so far have benefited me and are an irritant to the community. While I respect their efforts, I do not respect the agenda of forcing the community to pay for their projects. This was a response to the beginning of FPUD /LAFCO creating a community benefit group and I found it very interesting that the people who live here have been ignored. I want to bring... Full story
In your last letter, "JT," you blame the GOP for your party's continuing malfeasance using the same worn out and predictable tactics of plausible deniability with the sleight of hand machinations of a seasoned "flimflam man." It must be an embarrassing moment in history for you when most Americans blame the Democrat Party for the quagmire that may engulf us all. But I do hope your party leaders will campaign in the midterms on their obsession with supporting abortion, their insistence on sexualizing our kids in elementary sch... Full story
Boy, it's hard to know where to start! My letter was in defense of the manufacture and use of EVs and their associated batteries. In the second paragraph of your letter you stated, "they never debate any real issues," and then you ramble on for a dozen more paragraphs about things having nothing to do with the subject matter at hand. You state that I can't fact check some mining numbers because the information was removed. Then I wonder how Judy Willis got these numbers. Did they come from those 'reliable' news sources you...

Assemblymember Marie Waldron District 75 The rising cost of virtually everything is costing Californians dearly. March inflation surged to 8.5%, the largest increase in 40 years. This spike, driven largely by the cost of gasoline, made March the 10th straight month with inflation over 5%. So what’s the solution? One important step would be to suspend our 51 cent per gallon gas tax, the nation’s highest. Not only is this a direct tax on those with the least ability to pay, it drives up the cost of all goods shipped on our hig... Full story
Supervisor Jim Desmond 5th District Last week, my office hosted a State of the North County at the El Corazon Senior Center in Oceanside. I truly was amazed by the over 250 people who attended, many of whom make North County such a wonderful place to live and work. If you weren’t able to attend, I wanted to give a few of the highlights from the day. First, we had a very special guest on-hand, Bud Roberds. Bud is a World War II veteran who just celebrated his 102nd birthday! Bud was a music teacher at Fallbrook High School a... Full story
It was my privilege, along with 90 others in our community, to witness the film "Enemies Within The Church" produced by Trevor Louden and hosted by the Republican Women of California, Fallbrook. The film is an absolute eye opener. It stresses the fact that so many ministers are ignoring the true function of the church by failing to address the distressing activities of politicians, the absence of adhering to the laws of the bible and our responsibility to recognize the role we play as citizens of this great country. We and... Full story
On April 19, there was a Zoom meeting sponsored by Supervisor Desmond's office regarding the issue of crime in Fallbrook. I had some questions about the proliferation of graffiti and what programs, if any, exist to address this community problem. I want to give two thumbs up to Lt. Aldo Hernandez of the San Diego Sheriff, Fallbrook Substation. He immediately addressed in real time my posted question with a Zoom post of his own and followed-up shortly after the meeting with an email communication to me. Thank you Lt.... Full story
There are some Americans who believe our common law was derived from the Ten Commandments. A brief analysis shows the implausibility of that view. I-IV. These deal with God and religion, which our secular government and its laws are forbidden to address. V. As far as I know, there are no laws now or previously that require you to honor your father and mother, nor should there be. VI-IX. The four no-no's: don’t murder, commit adultery, steal, or bear false witness. Basically it’s a negative way of stating the Golden Rule, i.e... Full story
Julie Reeder Publisher In the article, “Legislature failed to protect citizens, Sheriff says at Legislative Summit” beginning on the front page of this week’s Valley News, Sheriff Chad Bianco talking specifically about crime says, “The current legislative agenda is that absolutely no bill will be passed if it adds any type of punishment to any crime. The only bills that are being passed through public safety committees are bills that let people out of jail early or take away consequences for their criminal behavio...
Dave Baxter and Hayden Hamilton Special to the Village News As you have probably heard, our two water agencies – the Fallbrook Public Utility District and the Rainbow Municipal Water District – are seeking to switch water suppliers in the wake of price increases from the San Diego County Water Authority that have averaged 8% per year over the past decade. Not surprisingly, this effort is opposed by the Water Authority. As your local water representatives, we are charged with providing you – the people of Fallbrook, Bonsa... Full story
