The July 4 Nathan’s hot dog eating contest was conducted without Joey Chestnut, who was prohibited from competing because of an endorsement deal with a plant-based hot dog company. The administrators of the Nathan’s contest felt that Chestnut was supporting a rival brand. Plant-based hot dogs are an alternative to beef hot dogs. They are not truly a competitor of a beef hot dog company. I’m no vegetarian, but I’m also not going to turn my back on the produce farmers who are helping to preserve our rural way of life. I under... Full story

Time will tell. Separate from the... Full story
Publisher Julie Reeder's commentary of July 18, "was an excellent summation of how Democrats, dishonest media, and strangely unprotective Secret Service leaders added up to near death for President Trump. Written in Reeder's get-to-the-point style, she moves quickly from the seemingly intentional lack of protection for Trump, to the media's downplaying of the obvious assignation attempt. Possibly because it interfered with some suggestions that the whole thing was staged, they initially ignored the tragic death of one rally... Full story

San Diego is the most expensive city in the nation and it just got more expensive. This is a story that can make a person go homeless quickly, as if we don't have enough homelessness in California. There is a local contractor who steals possessions, does not do work to code, hires actors to pretend they are officials, abandons the job just before he is caught, and places massive liens on his homes after he departs, and no one is stopping him. In my case, I flip houses. I paid the contractor over $110,000 for a $150,000 job,... Full story
