In his memoirs, written in the 1940s but not published until after his death, the great economist Ludwig von Mises said, "I set out to be a reformer, but only became the historian of decline." Most people contemplating the political and economic climate of 2020 can probably relate. Many people, frustrated at the loss of liberty and overreach by governments in the single-minded battle to eradicate a virus they don't understand, have reached for George Orwell or Aldous Huxley....

A local Fallbrook couple has recreated the Golden Gate Bridge. A much smaller version, Chris Smith welded and created a Golden Gate Bridge replica for his father-in-law. "My father-in-law, he was born in San Francisco and raised there, and so he was from the old school San Francisco, and he just loved San Francisco and he always talks fondly about it," Smith said. His in-laws circumnavigated the globe for 11 1/2 years. "They went 56,000 miles on a sailboat," Chris Smith's...

The Employment Development Department has clearly not been up to the task of providing unemployment benefits to the millions of Californians thrown out of work when the COVID-19 pandemic struck That’s why I joined several of my Republican colleagues on Dec. 7, the first day of the new session, to introduce a package of bills aimed at making EDD more efficient and more secure. My bill, AB 24, will ensure that claimants quickly receive decisions about their applications by r...
The subject letter claims the COVID-19 pandemic “is clearly a state issue.” It definitely is not: it is a global issue, and coordination at the international and federal levels would have helped greatly. The 50 states, left to their own devices, went off in 50 different directions with correspondingly different results. The subject letter also says, “Left without national emergency resources by the previous administration, this president reached out to American businesses...” And when was this lack of resources found out? Th...
In full disclosure, I was a 2020 Candidate for Assembly District 75. When I read our current Assembly representative’s article, it was another reminder for me – why I had decided to run to bring change to our representation for AD 75. The article begins: "The holiday season is fast approaching and many are suffering from severe economic distress resulting from the COVID 19 shutdowns, so take a few minutes to see if you have some money coming to you.” Am I actually seeing this? We have been hit by the worst global pande...
As 25-year residents of The Friendly Village, we'd like to share a delightful experience we had recently with the gentlemen known as The Tree Man of Fallbrook, Roger Boddaert. After experiencing heavy damage to our small guest house roof, courtesy of a falling eucalyptus branch, we knew we had some tree work to do. We called Roger and he arrived on the date and time agreed on, spent well over an hour with us assessing the many trees on our property and followed his visit with a precise estimate and recommendation of what...
Last week, when Governor Newsom made the announcement of a new regional approach, I was hopeful. Over the past eight months, I’ve been asking for the focus to be on ICU and hospital capacity and I was glad to see that he finally was changing the focal point. However, once again, he’s missed the mark. The governor and state did not consult with San Diego County and unilaterally implemented a “regional” approach that unfairly puts people out of work. San Diego has roughly...
Anybody who has experienced something of this nature has to deal with and what we all go through: depression, shame, blame, guilt and should have done this or that at the thought that my husband failed to protect the very means that provides for his family. As a wife, I too have married the same hurt and disbelief of what happened after 4 a.m. Nov. 25, when I helped him hook up another gooseneck trailer when he was finally able to make a 3000-mile trip to Texas. So between Nov. 25 and 27, at 5 a.m., when I went to pick my...
Dear Governor Newsom, Can I first congratulate you on your common sense? Someone of your age and robust health can expose himself to COVID-19 with little or no risk. Why not dine indoors with friends sans masks? Magnifique! Meanwhile, your subjects are dutifully following your guidelines. It is up to us to flatten the curve. And we will, with your leadership! What does it matter that a handful of the illuminati sup at a restaurant that is beyond our reach culturally and financially? Would we even know what to order at such...

The rollout of the Pfizer vaccine, the first to be approved by the Food and Drug Administration, ushers in the biggest vaccination effort in U.S. history – one that health officials hope the American public will embrace, even as some have voiced initial skepticism or worry.

Home for the holidays means something extra special this year. In past years, staying home was something you would choose to do, perhaps to slow things down and restore your energy or perhaps your bank account. This year, we have all been told to “stay at home,” so our options have been reduced by our inability to leave. So, what’s a person to do to turn these lemons into lemonade? Here’s a few ideas for you to consider. Let’s start with where we live, Fallbrook As I look out...
Coronavirus cases are continuing to climb in the Fallbrook area and the greater San Diego region, showing few signs of abating as the very first doses of regulator-approved vaccines begin to roll out locally for use by the military and high-risk groups like medical personnel.

As San Diego County and the rest of Southern California continues to trend upward in coronavirus cases, new data released by the federal Department of Health and Human Services last week painted a clearer picture of just how full hospitals are locally and across the country.
