We all know, public safety was front and center last year, and will continue to be a big issue this year. This includes things like officer records, officer training, and oversight, to name a few. The COVID-19 outbreak within our prison system was not handled well, with well-reported outbreaks and deaths among prison staff, including correctional officers, and those incarcerated. In an attempt to reduce drug addiction and repeat offenses, one of my bills, AB 653, will create...
As a lifelong Republican, the last four years were agony for me listening to lie after lie, after lie, after lie, coming out of the White House, Trump rallies and Trump tweets. It all started in 2017 in Charlottesville, Virginia, where former President Donald Trump opened the cult tent of Trumpism to White supremacists, Neo-Nazis, hate groups such as the “Proud Boys,” Oath Keepers and QAnon Doomsday Cult. Like Adolf Hitler, you tell the big lie long enough, you get people to believe you. I’ll focus on the two biggest lies tha...
The author of the subject letter would like to help me “see the light” regarding the evidence of voter fraud. I’d like to return the favor. Trump’s “crack” team of attorneys and a few other supporters filed about 60 lawsuits: about 40 dealt specifically with alleged voter fraud. All 40 were dismissed because they lacked one critical thing: evidence! The author said: “The left shuts down when asked to voice their opinion and defend it.” I can’t speak for others, but I voice my opinion and defend it, as my contributions her...
While our culture is in division and we are distracted with first world issues like canceling Mr. Potato Head, Pepe LePew and Dr. Suess, it is interesting to me the juxtaposition of having one of our top award shows, the Grammys, almost simultaneously showcasing women entertainers rolling all over on the floor while singing a song with words we can’t even print because it would be considered pornographic. While we are being ridiculous, creating race wars and infecting our c...
I became an American citizen in 1960 on St. Patrick’s Day. The present-day racial divisions in our country seem so alien to that day when I raised my hand to voluntarily become a member of my adopted country. It is impossible to compose a short letter to focus on many of the important issues, such as race in America today. I must admit that many of the letters to our local paper are long on verbiage but short on understanding and compassion. I would like to focus on one incident that happened to me in Bonsall Sunday, March 1...
WASHINGTON – Rep. Darrell Issa, CA-50, released the following statement March 3, in opposition to House Resolution 1: "States made sweeping changes to election practices leading up to Election Day 2020, even circumventing state legislatures in favor of executive decrees and court-ordered variations. There is no dispute some of these changes were done in violation of state constitutions and state law. "Mistrust of election integrity is at an all-time high. Rather than t...
Consider the possibility that science is a process of questions and answers. Not all answers are correct and not all questions are valid. Yet all need to be considered and evaluated separately and carefully. Within that context we broach the subject of this COVID-19 debacle that stands in our way to a free and productive life. The draconian measures undertaken have had profound and lasting impressions on the American psyche that will not be washed away any time soon. But we wish to explore the unscientific labors of a few...
I have great news for North County. Starting Saturday, March 20, North County unincorporated residents will have a new location to dispose of household hazardous waste and old electronics, for free. San Diego Environment Health has reserved 30 appointments on two Saturdays a month, strictly for those in the unincorporated area. Appointments must be made, by going to http://www.sdhhw.org or by calling 877-713-2784. The location will be at the Escondido Household Hazardous...
AFS has been a leader in the field of student exchange for more than 60 years. Each year we like to place one or more students in Fallbrook who will attend Fallbrook High. We are receiving applications now for students who will be arriving in mid-August for the either fall semester or for the next school year. We have some outstanding candidates with varied interests and many countries of origin. I would like to talk to any families that might be interested in hosting. We are also interested in talking to high school...
While it is not my desire to argue with Mr. Terrell in print, it is clear to me that it would be a fulfilment to assist him in "seeing the light" i.e., evidence of voter fraud, although I fear it would be futile. I noticed you said you skip right by the things you already know. Interesting. Do you know what Fox News and Newsmax are talking about or is that what you are skipping? I do try to listen to the other side but realize in short order that the thoughts are so biased and hypocritical, i.e. Don Lemon and Rachel Maddow....
Thank you, Julie Reeder, for being a reasonable and sane voice in what is quickly becoming an unreasonable and insane world. It’s unbelievable how twisted things have become. True fact-based journalism has been replaced with fictional writing – anything to get published, the more controversial and ridiculous the better. The small town of Fallbrook is lucky to have the Village News, a large-minded newspaper that is not afraid to report the truth. Carolyn Mathes...
Ms. Young, there is so much mischaracterization and misrepresentation there it would take far too much time to respond to each accusation. I can tell you that I don't fear any of those things and it's too bad that your preconceived ideas about what the "others" (whoever you think that is) has been so grotesquely misconstrued by whoever you are listening to. But, I do believe in your right to voice your opinion and I thank you for reading mine as well. My guess is that we agree on vastly more than what it appears from your...
As co-chair of the Assembly Rare Disease caucus, I recognize the struggle of patients and their families living with rare diseases. Among these are almost 7,000 diseases and conditions considered rare, with 80% of those considered ultra rare. By definition, a disease is considered rare when it affects fewer than 200,000 people. Since only a relatively small number of people are involved, treatments for these diseases can be limited, have sky-high costs or are completely...
Dear Ms. Reeder, I read your editorial of March 4, but did not respond as you might have wished. I “fear” that you have become ensnared in an increasingly small information trap. You seem to find great credibility in the words of self-proclaimed experts who enjoy the maverick attention they garner from using their professional titles to disseminate opinions that set them apart from their more respected professional colleagues. This perspective comes from limiting your information sources chiefly to those that fit your own...
California’s 2020 wildfire season set back the state’s fight against climate change, putting more carbon dioxide into the air than millions of passenger vehicles driving over the course of a year. Almost 4.2 million acres burned from 9,600 fires, killing 31 people, and emitting an estimated 112 million metric tons of carbon dioxide according to a California Air Resources Board report released Dec. 31. We have to fight this growing threat, which is why my colleagues and I hav...
It’s been a big week for cancel culture. Six books by Dr. Seuss fell victim, as well as Mr. Potato Head (not sure about Mrs. Potato Head). Two members of Congress wrote a letter asking cable companies to cancel One American News Network, Newsmax and FOX news. Do we really want our politicians sanctioning news? Deciding which news is acceptable and which should be banned? Do we want to cancel everyone who is questioning or dissenting government and their actions? People are a...
The author of the subject letter, to whom I will refer as “author,” tells me to consider “last week’s post-election court cases, hearings, affidavits, testimony, press conferences and rallies.” I did that, but my primary interest remains: “where is that mountain of evidence” for widespread voter fraud? The author also asked if I had seen the video of “suitcases full of ballots.” I have to answer that I saw a 90 second video clip showing a couple of standard ballot containers and nothing happening. The voting officials...
We applaud the honesty of the editorials by Julie Reeder. The editorial on Feb. 27 regarding ensored Doctors is very significant and is relevant to the experiences of both me and my wife. In December, preparing for a trip East, I started to research COVID-19 prophylaxis and came across the success many doctors were having with Ivermectin. A local physician researched Ivermectin for us and agreed to prescribe it (cost = $1.65) for my wife and me in case we came down with COVID-19 on our trip. One day after our return, Jan....
Have you noticed that, as an example, gas prices have gone up exponentially since the Keystone pipeline was halted? Not only our gas prices (especially in California), but the residents in small towns along the pipeline route have been destroyed, their businesses, their hopes, their dreams. To what end is this action? To appease the far left-socialists, to overturn the positive actions of President Trump, or is it to create a power base for themselves? And what about the dumbing down of American children by closing schools....
Public safety power shut offs can disrupt life throughout San Diego County. The shutoffs can wreak havoc on the community and come at inopportune times. In fact, Fallbrook had their power shutoff on Christmas Eve while a fire burned on Camp Pendleton. It’s not just the rural areas that have been impacted by these shutoffs. In many instances, cities in the North County have had their power cut for prolonged periods of time. During a power shutoff in 2019, the battery life on a...
Are we living in a culture of fear? What has happened to our American exceptionalism, our attitudes built on the wild west, rugged individualism, the culture of “we can do anything we put our minds to?” The society that courageously fought Communism, fascism and created a prosperous freedom-loving country to which people clammer to enter and bring their families? According to psychiatrist and medical-legal expert Dr. Mark McDonald, MD, we have become victims of a “de...
Some say Rush Limbaugh was a radio talk show host extraordinaire, a champion of conservative ideals, an ardent protector of our founding documents, and a passionate advocate for the men who wrote them. Rush was all these things and more. He was a defender of our traditions, a political storyteller, a purveyor of our uniquely American values, and a self-appointed arbiter of truth. No one enunciated the societal threats of liberalism better than Rush. With unmatched wit, laced with humor, he exposed the hypocrisy of the Democra...
Last week, I wrote a letter to our governor asking him to allow fans into Petco Park for Opening Day. My argument for this is based on science and data. Numerous professional and collegiate sporting events have been taking place across our nation for many months. College football and the National Football League both had successful seasons without any major COVID-19 incidents. The Superbowl was able to allow 22,000 fans into the stadium and cases continue to drop since the...
When I opened my emails this morning, what did I find that almost blew me out of my chair? A list of new, increased sales tax rates, averaging a bit more than an additional, full 1%, bringing the rate to over 10% in many districts! I’m wondering what these voters were promised in the run-up to the election? First and foremost is anything that can be charged as being “for the children,” of course. The county officials (or other silver tongue devils) that sold these tax increases to the suckers that will now have to dig even...
I think John Terrell should re-read Julie Reeder's article, "An overview of last week's post-election court cases, hearings, affidavits, testimony, press conferences and rallies" on Dec. 10, 2020. Then do your research. Like I said, a mountain of evidence. Did your news channels even show the videos of suitcases full of ballots? This is just a sample of the fraud committed and the theft of our Presidential election. If you've got state and federal courts that won't even look at the evidence then where the heck do we go from h...
