Like many cultures, Spanish culture would not be complete without its cuisine. One of the essential ingredients of Spanish cuisine is pimenton, a paprika that is used in recipes to make everything from entrees to sauces. Historians believe pimenton got its start in Spain thanks to noted explorer Christopher Columbus, who may have brought the spice...

During the recently concluded legislative session, around 30 bills impacting the Second Amendment were introduced. While a number failed to pass, 18 reached the Governor’s desk. As a life member of the NRA and a strong supporter of the Second Amendment, I opposed all bills introduced this session that infringed on the Second Amendment rights of Californians. SB 374 was perhaps the most egregious of the bills forwarded to the Governor. This legislation would have banned the sal... Full story
We currently have a $17 trillion debt. American voters should look at which party has contributed the most to that debt. The plain facts can be easily verified.

Air traffic over Fallbrook, other than landings by fixed wing aircraft or helicopters commuting between the Base at 29 Palms, is simply a matter of choice, not necessity. There is no logistical imperative other than preferring to make life miserable for Fallbrook residents rather than the residents in base housing. The airspace over Pendleton is... Full story
