    Updated Sep 13, 2012

    While the fact that violent crimes were seven percent higher and property crimes four percent greater in the Fallbrook area for the first half of 2012, compared to the same time frame last year, isn’t a good thing, it should be noted that they are lower than the respective nine percent and eight percent increases found in the countywide average.

  • Facebook page is a hoax

    Updated Sep 13, 2012

    Recently, I received an anonymous letter expressing concern about the contents of a Facebook page, supposedly of Fallbrook High School principal Rod King. The author of the anonymous letter expresses concern about the content of the page, stating that we should “expect our administrators and teachers to be exceptional role models to our kids.” Unfortunately, the anonymous author does not know Rod King or he/she would know that he is an exceptional role model to our students and that this is not his Facebook page. The aut...

  • Climbing in the polls

    Updated Sep 13, 2012

    Pat Buchanan is an astute tactician. Recalling when he was being interviewed by the ABC leftist mouth piece, Sam Donaldson, when running for president, Donaldson questioned Buchanan’s lack of belief in evolution. Buchanan responded, “Well Sam, maybe you think you came from apes, but I’ll assure you that I didn’t.” Right on. Now, the weak-kneed Republicans have been panicked by an honest comment by Todd Akin of Missouri, who rightfully pointed out that when a woman is raped, her system tends to destroy the birth process.... Full story

  • How Obama's new jobs benefit the economy

    Updated Sep 13, 2012

  • Re: Entitlement mentality 7.0 [Letter, Village News, 8/23/2012]

    Updated Sep 13, 2012

    To Lee Racey’s letter I’d like to add another example of America taxing and spending its way to prosperity: the 1940s, effectively ending the Great Depression and setting off the boom decades that followed. Taxes on the wealthy were considerably higher, yet few complained. It was a good time to be an American, there was appreciation, patriotism of the genuine kind with a sense of duty to give something back to your country. Selfishness and greed were not the rule back then. Mr. Racey’s mindset would have likely consi... Full story

  • Are we better off than four years ago?

    Updated Sep 13, 2012

    Four years ago the world economy was in free-fall, home values shrinking, bankruptcy rates climbing, 401k and IRA accounts crippled, stock market crashed, jobs lost at a rate of 800,000 a month, and the federal debt exploded during President Bush, due to two major tax cuts disproportionately benefiting the rich, two wars, and a Medicare prescription plan – done without any plan to pay for it. The debt quadrupled under Reagan and H.W. Bush and then doubled under W. Bush. The debt has gone up under Obama, but he’s carryin... Full story
