Temecula City Councilmember Zak Schwank owes an apology to the Community of Fallbrook, California. During the Aug. 24 meeting, Councilmember Schwank made a lame attempt to condemn a recent (alleged) incident of racism at Temecula Valley High School. He resurrected and regurgitated an unfortunate statistic concerning a notorious white supremacist who once resided in Fallbrook. (www.villagenews.com/story/2020/11/12/news/tom-metzger-white-supremacist-who-lived-in-fallbrook-for-4-decades-dies-at-82/64132.html) Councilmember... Full story
Never in our 25 years selling real estate have we experienced more homeowners who are selling and leaving California. Easily 8 out of every 10 of the sellers we work with are leaving California to find more affordable housing, lower taxes, and a different political culture. Retirees are leaving California. They want to stretch their retirement funds out as far as possible, so giving up great weather in exchange for a lower cost of living and lower taxes, are worth the move.... Full story
Things I just learned today: Israel and Great Britain, the two countries with the largest populations of vaccinated people, just experienced their largest new-case infections of Covid-19. FDA advisory panel website rejects wide spread Pfizer booster shots. A vaccinated person can and is often the offender as a superpreader. Meaning, the vaccinated person can show no symptoms and be spreading the virus at the same time. DAAH! There is other data out there which supports the rest of this opinion, if you do your research. It all... Full story
I just today received our copy of the 9/9/21 edition of the Fallbrook Village News and I wanted to commend you for bringing to your readers the reminder of both your feelings of the personal loss of Tom McGuinness as well as the tragic loss of the those thousands of innocent people that lost their lives that day during and after the attack on the World Trade Center Towers. Your tribute encapsulates very succinctly and accurately the significance of remembering what “911” is all about and it hit home personally for me and my... Full story
Everyone blames poor Joe for the disaster in Afghanistan. Actually it was a success, depending on which party you align with. No one has mentioned that this has Obama’s fingerprints all over it. Let’s get in the time machine and take a look. Barry was “elected” with lots of Muslim brotherhood money, he told us he was a Muslim. He sent a new drone to Iran, landed carefully and refused to hit the self-destruct button. He gave back four top terrorist leaders for one known American Army traitor. Then he had happy talks in the... Full story
I want to thank the author of the subject letter for letting us know that there is one intolerant Liberal in Fallbrook. We Liberals were dismayed to learn that one of our own thought it might be necessary to cheat, when the rest of us knew that our Governor had the vote in the bag. Of course, before the vote, the mainstream media tried to make it look like it was pitched battle, but it turned out to be more like a walk in the park. You can’t blame the homeless problem on our Governor, primarily because it’s not his pro... Full story
