California Gov. Gavin Newsom has had a summer of muddled messaging and bad news in the coronavirus fight, a trend crystallized recently by his delayed response to a data error that caused a backlog of nearly 300,000 virus test results.

They’re the latest in a long series of legal challenges, many of them in California, pitting clerics and houses of worship who believe they should be exempt from certain restrictions on public gatherings against governors who insist the measures are needed to rein in t...

A look at the claim: The claim is that Harris is ineligible to serve as vice president or president because her mother is from India and her...

The California Association of Realtors has been diligently working on finding a way to provide property tax relief to homeowners over 55, the severely disabled and victims of wildfires and natural disasters.

The Legislative Analyst’s Office gave Proposition 5 a very unfavorable title and summary. The title and summary is the l... Full story

Schools are essential, and the need to educate our children is not negotiable. The 2020-2021 budget package maintained school funding based on 2019-2020 attendance levels, which essentially placed a funding cap on all schools, even those experiencing high levels of growth. Before enactment of this year’s education trailer bill, Senate Bill 98, school districts were “held harmless” over declining year-to-year enrollment. If the district lost students, it would still be funde... Full story
Hello Fallbrook!! Recently I had work done on my truck at Sonny's Muffler. I enjoyed a conversation and education from a man named Matt. I have to say this right out loud. Matt was honest, transparent, educated, inclusive and DID everything he said he would do. None of this business of 'there were hidden costs' talk like from people who don't know their job. My experience at Sonny's Muffler was perfect. If only all businesses followed their lead. Just sending out kudos where they are earned. Ruth Noyes... Full story
Dear Editor, The insane speak I hear from the Left says this president has lied. I ask, about what? He is building the wall. Even with the House against him. He has finagled a way to get it going to keep illegals out while still allowing legal immigration. As a country we have always welcomed the world to our shores. We just ask you don’t sneak across the borders at night and the next day apply for support, like free medical, food stamps, Social Security and all of the other benefits reserved and paid for by hard working A...

For many years, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors has been criticized for not spending its reserves. When I ran for election in 2018, I stressed that we must continue to be fiscally responsible, maintaining healthy reserves in case of an emergency. The coronavirus pandemic qualifies as an emergency and has certainly been difficult on everyone, but also is a prime example of why the county needs strong fiscal reserves. San Diego County released their budget for fiscal... Full story
Dear Editor, While every little thing on the internet might not be true, it just seems odd someone from Canada needs to remind Americans of the great job this president is doing. First of all, can you imagine any other person in the world who can manage the **** and trash being slung at him by the media, the Dems and even some folks in his own party, yet, still “The Donald” gets a day’s work done? He works 20 hours a day so I hear. Meanwhile Pelosi, Schumer and their mob don’t discourage riots, burning of buildings, tearing... Full story
