WASHINGTON – On July 9, the Internal Revenue Service introduced a new, shorter application form to help small charities apply for 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status more easily. “This is a common-sense approach that will help reduce lengthy processing delays for small tax-exempt groups and ultimately larger organizations as well,” said IRS commissioner John Koskinen. “The change cuts paperwork for these charitable groups and speeds application processing so they can focus on their important work.” The new Form 1023-EZ...

FALLBROOK – Party hosts take on a significant amount of responsibility when they agree to entertain business associates, family, and/or friends. When such gatherings are especially large, some hosts opt to hire a caterer to feed their guests. Catering companies or restaurants that offer catering services are often associated with just weddings and graduations, but such businesses also can be hired for less momentous occasions. Hiring a caterer for a home party is not nec... Full story

On July 2, I went to the Murrieta Border Patrol Station to see for myself. Was our government really going to start busing illegals into the interior of our nation? After waiting three hours in the sun, wind and heat, I saw three air-conditioned coaches arrive. I couldn’t believe it. Then I found out the plan was to have three coaches arrive every 72 hours for an unspecified amount of time, dumping these people out into the surrounding area. They already have illegal migrant camps in this area. Does our government really t...
I can’t help but think of the hundreds of thousands of Jews who were denied visas or turned away from America’s shores prior to WWII. There was a movement to let the Jews in, but anti-Semitism and fear blocked their escape from the Nazis. Now we have families, mostly children, who are fleeing for their lives from corrupt governments, drug cartels, and death squads. These good people come to American to seek safety and are turned away by hate and fear. America is responsible for a lot of the problems in Guatemala, Hon... Full story
As for the proposed FPUD and RMWD merger I would offer: • Both FPUD and RMWD purchase all of their potable water from the SDCWA and MWD • FPUD cannot promise lower rates as they have no control over 80 percent of their costs • RMWD labor costs are up only $14k from 2014 • Union benefit rates for RMWD will jump from about 10 percent to about 20 percent, as required by union agreement, due to the increased employee count when combined with FPUD (about $220k) • RMWD has agriculture water sales of ab...
Just two weeks ago, the crowd of 23,000 at Petco Park celebrated the life of a great ball player named Tony Gwynn (1960-2014). The memorial gathering gave tribute to Tony’s Hall of Fame performance for 20 years – .338 life time batting average, 3141 career hits, eight time batting champion, 16 All Star appearances. The most important tribute made superseded his field of play: hard work, motivated not by big money, but by loyalty to the same team and his city, keeping the importance of family, seeing the media as a f...
As we approach the anniversary of 9/11, I can’t help but think that there will be a generation that might not know what that date represents. It was a horrible day in our history when 2,977 people died from a terrorist attack on our own soil. First responders and rescuers rushed to save lives in both towers that collapsed during their rescue efforts claiming the lives of 343 FDNY firefighters, 37 NYPD officers, 23 Port Authority officers and two paramedics. Our nation was changed forever on 9/11/2001. Since 9/11 our military... Full story
The debate over the nation’s border policies continues. In this region, the debate is fueled by the regular arrival of planeloads of illegal immigrants from Texas for processing at facilities in San Diego and Riverside counties. A facility to house these immigrants was recently rejected by Escondido authorities over land-use concerns. In addition, citizens of Murrieta have prevented busloads of newly-arrived illegal immigrants from being unloaded at the Murrieta Border Patrol...
