WASHINGTON – Congressman Darrell Issa (CA-50) said the following upon joining the Congressional Cut Flower Caucus: “As one of the most treasured and unique products to Southern California, I am pleased to join the bipartisan Congressional Cut Flower Caucus to address policy challenges affecting American cut flower growers.” Issa recently met with area flower growers in Bonsall, Temecula and San Diego County to discuss the impacts of COVID, the importance of trade and the range of Caucus priorities for 2021. California is ho...
Over the last several weeks, we’ve started to see heartbreaking photos coming from our southern border. Families and unaccompanied minors, shoulder to shoulder, stuck in limbo hoping to get to the United States. This crisis hit home Tuesday, March 23, as it was announced that the San Diego County Convention Center would temporarily house over a thousand unaccompanied minors seeking asylum in the United States. Over the past few months, the crisis at the border has been w...
Regarding Dominion’s $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit against Sidney Powell: her defense is that “no reasonable person would conclude that her statements were truly statements of fact!” Let that sink in. Giuliani hasn’t responded yet to his corresponding lawsuit. But Powell’s defense says it all. The entire election fraud charge is a complete tissue of lies. Now, with that issue taken care of. Let’s talk about who and what I voted for. The president I voted for knows the battle against the pandemic is far from over and is acti...
As a result of the new “open border” policies enacted by the Biden/Harris administration, your services are no longer needed due to the reduction of “legal applicants” for immigration and naturalization processing. Additionally, Liberty Island is formally closed, effective immediately. The Liberty Island facilities are currently undergoing repurposing to accommodate the hordes of unaccompanied, undocumented, alien minors, compliments of the forward-thinking Democratic Party directed by the Biden/Harris adminis...
This year California observed Ag Day on March 22; a day we celebrate our state's unique contributions to the nation’s food supply. It’s also an opportunity for me to remind legislators from north of the Tehachapi Mountains that our region helps make California the country’s leading agricultural state. Agriculture is a major contributor to our economy. According to the 2019 Crop Report, California’s agricultural output generated $50 billion, with exports totaling $21.7 billion....
The 6th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals ruled in favor of professor Nicholas Meriwether in Meriwether v. The Trustees of Shawnee State University recently. Circuit Judge Amul Thapar wrote that not only had Meriwether's First Amendment rights been violated, but his religious rights as well in the free exercise clause. It is one lawsuit that has been watched as it relates to "compelled speech." Most Americans are probably oblivious to the term, but compelled speech has been hotly...
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...
Just throwing out an idea, looking at the regional big picture regarding the Sandia Gate. Instead of all of us disagreeing, maybe, we should try working together. The more we fight, the more the county and lawyers make. Maybe, the gates could start at the Fallbrook entrance and the Rancho California Road/ Riverside County entrance. Let's think of the greater De Luz region, all of us, together We don't need to gate up each individual community. That would ruin the ambiance of our little bit of heaven. Benefitting some...
The past week was a major step forward in our fight against COVID-19. First, on March 16, a new vaccination site opened in North County, specifically in the 92058 zip code in Oceanside. This walk-in clinic, located at 1701 Mission Ave., will play a vital role in distributing vaccines to one of the communities hardest hit by COVID-19. The clinic will provide over 700 daily vaccines and will replace the current Oceanside vaccine center at the North Coastal Live Well Center. As...
I was moved when I read Julie’s article about our current culture of fear because it gets at the heart of the issue that is plaguing us right now. To those who expressed offense or felt she was insinuating they suffered from cowardice if they do fear COVID-19, that was not the message being conveyed. The objectionable thing that has occurred over this past year is the exploitation of scientific language to deliberately inject fear into society and exert control over the masses. The unsubstantiated claim that underlies the fea...
After all I said, that is what you came away with? I shake my head when you say “standard ballot containers and nothing happening.” What was taken out of context? You dismissed the whole “context” of what was going on that led up to the stolen ballot counting. Numerous affidavits said they were told “they were shutting down for the night and told to go home.” They were videotaped pulling these suitcases out from under tables and wheeled over to voter counting machines. These suitcases are not standard ballot containers....
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...
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...
