California’s leaders seem determined to make life even more challenging and costly for families across our state. Recently, I shared how Assembly Bill X2-1, sponsored by Governor Gavin Newsom, passed the State Senate and gave the California Air Resources Board (CARB) the authority to mandate restrictions on gasoline distribution. This was alarming enough, but just days after the election, CARB has wasted no time in pushing policies that will only raise costs even higher. On F... Full story

There have been multiple calls to the Village News about a fire on Old Stage in town. The cause is a flag burning ceremony at the VFW, which causes some blooms of black smoke. The VFW does this ceremony periodically, which is the respectful way to retire worn flags. Flag burning ceremonies, often conducted by Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) posts, are solemn events meant to respectfully retire worn or damaged American flags that are no longer fit for display. The United States... Full story

I am happy to see that The Planning Group is paying attention to the concerns of our Community. Thank you Steve Brown for your response to the letter of two weeks ago. There are several issues at play here and all of them have representation of our community and keeping it informed in the mix.

This is also true of most of our community as attending the meetings or going to the county website to... Full story

I’ve only “known” you for a short time. You first came into my life the night you stole my Harris/Walz sign from my front yard. My husband and I got two additional signs, glued them to plywood, and secured them to our mailbox post. That didn’t stop you. We woke one morning to find you had stolen a second sign, damaging our mailbox post in the process. Your next move was to tape a Trump/Vance sign over the top of our last remaining Harris/Walz. On Thursday morning, we awoke to what I hope was your final act: both signs y... Full story
Effective age regression interventions hold the potential to not only alleviate but also prevent diseases associated with aging. This groundbreaking assertion has garnered the endorsement of the majority within the scientific community who increasingly view aging not as a disease per se, but as the primary catalyst/cause for nearly all age-related diseases. Diseases caused by aging represent a staggering 85% of all diseases that plague humanity. The pharmaceutical industry is acutely aware of this catastrophically negative... Full story
On Nov. 5, a wave of optimism washed over America, bringing a renewed sense of patriotism and a restored faith in our elections. After nine torturous years fending off the evil forces arrayed to destroy him, Trump would ride atop a cresting wave of populism to emerge from the throes of political anarchy as our 47th President. It was a victory unequaled in modern times – putting an exclamation point on an embittered campaign fought by and for America's working class. Incensed by the endless acrimony targeting Trump and the MAG... Full story
You may have heard that Governor Newsom is convening a special session to “‘Trump-Proof’ states liberal policies.” That’s an interesting thought. In fact, let’s take it a step further. What if our local municipalities adopted a similar approach to safeguard their common-sense policies from overreach by Governor Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta? As the Governor and Attorney General prepare for a legal fight with the federal government, they appear intent on using taxpayer dollars with little regard for the cost. Cal... Full story

Mark your calendar for Sunday, Dec. 15, for “A Take 3 Christmas.” This delightful group is retur... Full story
Why do so many Fallbrookians seem unaware of the joy of “going to the pictures” on Friday nights at the friendly Art Deco Mission Theater in the center of downtown Fallbrook? Could it be that only seniors have ever experienced the fun of a special date and a chance to enjoy a computer-and-TV-free evening with fellow film lovers? The theater holds 300 people, but Friday night attendance rarely reaches 100. My “date” David and I have been regular movie goers there for the past few years. I always enjoy a glass of wine, while D... Full story

As we go to print, the case against Jose Ibarra, 26, who is accused of brutally killing Georgia nursing student Laken Riley appears to be wrapping up. The killing of Laken Riley has added fuel to the national debate over immigration when federal authorities said Ibarra illegally entered the U.S. in 2022 and was allowed to stay in the country while he pursued his immigration case. Ibarra has been reported to be a member of the vicious Tren de Aragua gang. He enjoyed a... Full story
