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...
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...
Last week I supported bi-partisan legislation signed by the Governor to mitigate the economic and social damage done by the long, state-imposed COVID-19 shutdowns. This legislative package, funded without new taxes from existing General Fund revenues, included a bill I co-authored to provide assistance for small businesses and nonprofits, many right here in our region. Thousands of businesses throughout California have seen their revenues plummet, with many forced into bankrup...
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...
COVID relief legislation I have recently co-written multiple legislative measures aimed at assisting California workers, business owners, parents and students‚ as well as placing some checks on Gov. Gavin Newsom's state of emergency powers during the COVID-19 pandemic. The first of these measures, Assembly Bill 54, would prohibit state agencies from revoking a business license for non-compliance with shutdown orders without first proving the business was a cause of w...
Being up in years and having a spouse with compromised immune issues, I’ve been mostly at home with cabin fever. However, being a former lacrosse coach, I was really looking forward to February when I usually get to see college games on TV. This past Saturday (Feb. 20) was especially rewarding. The news that youth sports was going to be permitted again, having been cancelled for a year due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, brought this day into perspective. In 2006, my college teammate, Chas Mudie and I started the Fallbrook W...
I never expected that the Fallbrook Village News would become a welcome source of honest commentary on our government “leaders,” but it has. Publisher Julie Reeder’s no-nonsense way of explaining things – and her evidently not being too concerned with upsetting the easily triggered types – is commendable. A recent letter to the Village News, from a person of that persuasion, demonstrated that these are not happy people. There is no jubilation among them at Biden’s being sworn-in as president. The L.A. Times, for example, can...
We are back to the purple tier in the County of San Diego, in fact we’ve been in purple ever since Governor Newsom rescinded the stay-at home order in California. As you probably know by now, by being in the purple tier this allows some businesses to open, including outdoor dining, hair salons and other services. However, many businesses remain closed, or limited by outdoor operations. So, how do we get to the next tier? I’ve always argued this color-coded system is fla...
We are hearing stories locally about people going to the hospital with COVID-19 and being told to return home with no treatment. If they get worse, they return to the hospital for treatment. This is opposite of what many frontline doctors, after treating thousands of patients, are telling us is the best way to treat COVID-19 patients. A doctor friend of mine recently sent me an interview of another doctor in New York, Dr. Vladimir Zelenko. Zelenko has boasted a near 100%...
