Please note that during hot, dry conditions, such as when a red flag...
TEMECULA — How long will you live? Of course, your longevity is somewhat unpredictable. But it may be a good idea to plan for a long life – and the financial issues that go along with it. It’s reasonable to think you’ve got a long way to go. In fact, 72% of retirees now think they will live longer than their parents, according to a recent survey from Age Wave and Edward Jones. Their optimism may be justified: A 65-year-old woman can expect to live almost 20 more years, while a 65-year-old man can anticipate about 17 more ye...

Dear Mr. Constitution: Question: Yes or No – Did former Vice President Mike Pence have the Constitutional authority to stop the 2020 election certification? Answer: In a word: No. Election certification belongs to the Electors – the Electoral College. Certification is not accomplished by any one person in government. The President, the Vice President, Congress, judges – none of them certify the election. The certification is by the Electors themselves when they count their state votes, seal the envelope, and then send it to... Full story
Supervisor Jim Desmond 5th District I am encouraged to hear about Hasan Ikhrata's departure from SANDAG. This development opens the door to changes and progress within the organization.

SANDAG should prioritize taxpayers' needs and use San Diegans’ hard-earned money efficiently and responsibly. I am committed to s... Full story
When I was old enough to vote, I asked my dad “what’s the difference between Republicans and Democrats?” He was a Democrat, and told me “the Republicans are for rich people, who own big factories and mansions. The Democrats are for the regular working people. Democrats treat everyone fairly and want to make sure people have good lives.” So I agreed that the Democrats were who I’d vote for too. I believed that explanation for a while, but tending to be a skeptic, I finally decided that half the voters couldn’t all be cigar-... Full story
Julie Reeder Publisher In the corridors of the justice system, the aspiration is for every citizen, regardless of their last name, to be dealt with justly and equitably. When news broke about Hunter Biden's sweetheart plea deal, and the judge’s rejection of it, eyebrows were understandably raised. For people who know what is going on, it was even more surprising when that same U.S. Attorney David Weiss of Delaware was put in charge of Hunter Biden’s investigation as a “Special Counsel.”. That sounds tough, right? Well, d... Full story
Steven Schindler Special to the Village News As you do the morning “doom scroll” on your phone, where you continually read bad news after worse news, or sit mesmerized watching one of the “hair on fire” TV news networks, or grip your steering wheel tighter and tighter as you listen to “This could be the end of America” talk-radio hosts, just keep in mind the words of Harry Truman who said, “The only thing new in the world is the history you don’t know.” Shaking our collective heads as we ponder our current presidential camp...
