  • To all traitorous members of congress

    Updated Jan 27, 2021

    This was a post I saw on a fellow patriot's page: Why is broken glass on Capitol Hill more appalling to you than the broken glass that shattered the dreams of minority (including black-owned businesses burned and looted by blacks) business owners all over the Country? Why is a five hour protest on Capitol Hill more appalling to you than the seven month long destructive siege of our Country? Why is some minor cosmetic damage to the Capitol building more appalling to you than 150 federal buildings damaged, and thousands of...

  • Budgeting in time of crisis

    Assemblymember Marie Waldron, AD-75 R|Updated Jan 27, 2021

    California’s high cost of living, crumbling infrastructure, rising crime and constant threat of natural disasters always present challenges. The COVID-19 pandemic has made matters worse by stressing ICU capacity, causing tragic loss of life, damaging our economy and robbing many students of a year’s education. During the upcoming budget discussions, I am urging the Governor to follow a path relying on science to best respond to the pandemic. More than 2.6 million people los...

  • January 6, 2021: "A date which will live in infamy"

    Updated Jan 27, 2021

    “On Wednesday [Jan. 6], the Washington Times published a story that claimed XRVision ‘used its software to do facial recognition of protesters and matched two Philadelphia Antifa members to two men inside the Senate’” (BuzzFeed.News) XRVision issued an immediate “cease and desist” order because that claim was utterly false. (RawStory.com) The FBI, which is actively pursuing the perpetrators, confirms there’s no evidence of Antifa involvement. (Forbes) Five people are known dead as a direct result of the assault on our nation...

  • Congratulations President Biden

    Updated Jan 27, 2021

    With that said, I’m going to need some help from my Democratic Liberal friends: 1. Can I borrow the #NotMyPresident hashtag, or is that reserved for you? 2. Who do I contact to see if Republicans are boycotting the Inauguration (like the Democrats did for President Trump)? 3. Do I have to accept the election results, or can I claim election interference for the next four years? 4. Am I entitled to see Biden’s tax returns to learn how his income jumped dramatically in one year? (we all know how and why… but it would be nice...

  • Response to Fallbrook Democratic Club "ad" and Maldonado/Stamos letter

    Updated Jan 27, 2021

    I would like to start by reminding you that Rep. Darrell Issa was elected by a majority of voters in this district who just happen to be Republicans. By voting to object to the results of “certified” votes in several states, he was doing exactly what we, his constituents, elected him to do and that was to support former President Donald Trump. The level of fraud in this election is absolutely astounding, and if any of you actually did some honest research, you would find that information. Even Democratic Sens. Elizabeth War...

    Re: 'Regarding national news in the Village News'

    Julie Reeder, Publisher|Updated Jan 27, 2021

    Mr. Egkan, this is a lot of ground to cover, but I want to give you the respect you deserve with answers. Your attempt to equate me or our news with QAnon or Alex Jones is just ridiculous on its face. As ridiculous as me equating you with postal employees who have gone "postal" just because you were a postal employee. I know very little about QAnon or Jones. Alternative facts You are right about "alternative facts," Both positions were not true. As I've outlined previously,...

  • Village News is 97 percent local news and, yes, it is trusted and award-winning journalism

    Julie Reeder, Publisher|Updated Jan 25, 2021

    Barry, you are saddened by the “shift to the extreme right” because of Dr. Veltmeyer’s four or five opinion pieces that ran last year? You see a problem with us running a doctor questioning the effectiveness of masks, but see no problem with us printing your pieces or dozens of John Terrell’s views? That is opinion and not news. Do you think the left leaning letters and op-eds we print are more important than the right leaning ones? Should we ban one or the other and not all... Full story

  • The Legislature must lead

    Assemblymember Marie Waldron, AD-75 R|Updated Jan 20, 2021

    COVID-19 has claimed the lives of about 1.8 million people worldwide, approximately 27,000 of which are right here in California. The virus captures our attention, while many other long-standing issues are ignored. We aren’t prepared for the next drought, wildfires pose an ever-increasing threat, and our insufficient power grid has led to rolling blackouts as a fire prevention tactic. Violent crime is rising, and our already-failing education system is in shambles after a...

  • 'Trusted journalism'

    Updated Jan 20, 2021

    In this week’s Village News, (1/14/21), an announcement soliciting advertisers included this: “We’re proud of our brand of trusted journalism.” Journalism? Really? I’ve been saddened by the shift to the extreme right of the Village News in recent months. We have James Veltmeyer’s pooh-poohing the use of face masks. And the reports from the Epoch Times (which consistently calls the coronavirus the “Chinese Communist Party virus”). And the slanted articles such as the one comparing Trump’s pardons of his criminal cronies...

  • Is it too late to Save America?

    Updated Jan 20, 2021

    The unrepentant left has just hijacked the Presidential election. Determined to destroy President Trump, Lady Liberty’s enemies have successfully conspired to overturn his re-election bid. The progressive left, fearing no legal repercussions, has dishonored the sacrifices made by our Founding Fathers, who devoted their lives to ensure "Liberty and Justice" for all Americans in perpetuity. But it appears we are about to embark on a dark journey where "wokeness" and "Cancel Culture" redefine our country's foundational p...

  • Vaccine rollout

    Supervisor Jim Desmond, 5th District|Updated Jan 20, 2021

    We must get the COVID-19 vaccine to San Diegans! To me, this is the most important task in San Diego County. While our COVID-19 numbers continue to rise, we know there is light at the end of the tunnel. We’ve known for months the vaccine would be here, but unfortunately the state isn’t acting fast enough. As of last week, California had received about 1.3 million vaccines for distribution, but unfortunately only 35% of the vaccines had been distributed. That’s not good enoug...

  • A letter to Representative Issa

    Updated Jan 20, 2021

    Dear Representative Issa, You are complicit in the recent insurrection on the American Capitol. Jan. 6, 2021 will live in infamy for the rest of U.S. history, and you will be remembered as an opponent of democracy. Your refusal to certify election results, with zero evidence of widespread voter fraud, goes against the oath that you swore to protect. Rather than protect the basic principles of democracy, you, along with other members of the Republican party, chose to advance your political careers by promoting lies and conspir...

  • Re: 'Conflict journalist reports Capitol storming led by Antifa agent provocateurs' [Village News, Letter, 1/14/21]

    Updated Jan 20, 2021

    Thank you Ms. Reeder, for the timeline of events at the Capitol as we now see was instigated by the Antifa and BLM agitators and a handful of misguided Trump supporters. Antifa member John Sullivan, proud Founder of Insurgence USA, was portrayed as a journalist on CNN yet the idiot video tapped his insurrection party inciting misguided Trump supporters. No CNN vetting here. Aside from a few followers led astray by Sullivan and other Antifa members the other 99% were peaceful demonstrators. The fake news only showed the 1%...

  • Wondering where the vaccines are

    Updated Jan 20, 2021

    I recently received an email from Arch Health that contained this paragraph: “On Jan. 13, 2021 at 12:30 p.m., Governor Newsom announced that the COVID-19 vaccine is now available to patients 65 years and older. However, the County of San Diego has not changed local guidelines. Please check our website for the most up-to-date Arch Health Information regarding the COVID-19 vaccination.” Jim Desmond has been quick to criticize school and business closings but has done nothing to correct the issue about getting more vaccine sup...

  • Are you not entertained?

    Updated Jan 14, 2021

    “Are you not entertained?” said Russell Crowe more than 20 years ago as Maximus Decimus Meridius in “Gladiator.” His statement was one of sarcasm and disgust for the bloodthirsty crowds that cheered him as he dispatched his opponent in the ring. He tossed his sword down in disgust and walked out of the arena. I don’t know why this scene sprang to mind when watching gangs of traitorous domestic terrorists charge upon our nation’s capital on Wednesday, Jan. 6. I was initially disgusted, and then slowly, but surely, I began to...

  • How to steal a Presidential Election

    Updated Jan 14, 2021

    What have we learned from the Presidential election? For sure, we now know the Democrats have perfected the art of election fraud. What fraud, you say? Let me give you just a few examples of the myriad of election abnormalities in keeping with Lenin's infamous quote, "Those who vote decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything." For instance, does it matter to the Democrats that 1.8 million mail-in-ballots went out in Pennsylvania, but 2.5 million ballots were returned? Or that there were 7.8 million eligible...

  • Conflict journalist reports Capitol storming led by Antifa agent provocateurs

    Julie Reeder, Publisher|Updated Jan 14, 2021

    It was reported by The Washington Post that the “first wave of protesters arrived at the Capitol about 12:40 p.m.” They would have had to start their trek to the Capitol before Trump even started his speech. It is unlikely that Trump supporters would miss his speech since it was the reason everyone came to Washington to see and hear the president. The president concluded at 1:11 p.m. Then his people started the 45-minute walk with crowd-related delays. It put the first peo...

  • New laws for 2021

    Assemblymember Marie Waldron, AD-75 R|Updated Jan 14, 2021

    On Jan. 1, hundreds of new laws went into effect. Many are non-controversial or have limited impact, but some will directly affect the lives of thousands of Californians. Among these are laws impacting businesses and employees. California’s minimum wage will increase to $14 for companies with 26 or more employees and $13 for smaller companies. California companies with five or more employees (instead of 50 or more) will now be required to provide 12 weeks of family leave. A...

  • January 6, 2021, the Epiphany

    Updated Jan 14, 2021

    Epiphany – “a sudden flash of understanding.” For many people who saw what happened at the nation’s Capitol on Jan. 6, it was far from an epiphany. It was predictable based on what the POTUS had been encouraging for weeks: an attack by domestic terrorists. Because those terrorists are white and speak English and carry the American flag, does not lessen their criminality, nor should it lessen their responsibility. That they were called to action by Donald Trump should also be recognized as incitement, at the very least....

  • COVID-19 Vaccine Town-Hall can be heard online

    Supervisor Jim Desmond, 5th District|Updated Jan 14, 2021

    Hello and Happy New Year everyone! I hope you had a wonderful and safe holiday season. The health impacts of COVID-19 have been tragic for so many vulnerable people, their families and loved ones. While our numbers continue to rise in San Diego County, there is light at the end of the tunnel. The vaccine has arrived in San Diego County and our front-line healthcare workers are starting to receive it. On Jan. 7, I held a Vaccine Rollout Town-Hall with our county health official...

  • One nation under God

    Updated Jan 14, 2021

    Thank you, Julie Reeder, for putting things into perspective. We, the citizens of this nation, are blessed whether we know it or not. The people of other nations realize it, especially those who are living under totalitarian regimes who do not enjoy our freedoms but yearn for them. This nation’s founders valued religious liberty, the right to worship God without government interference. Their belief in God, our creator, moved them to pen the following words in our Declaration of Independence, “We hold these truths to be self-...

  • The theft of the Presidential Election

    Updated Jan 7, 2021
    1

    I think I can speak for the 75 million patriotic Americans who still love our country, our heritage, and our founding fathers. We all stand proudly for our flag and our national anthem. To a person, we still believe in the rule of law and that every legal vote should count. We embrace right over wrong, God over government, and law enforcement over BLM and the ANTIFA anarchists. And yes, we honor the men and women who serve in our military, and we revere our veterans too. We have indulged you, the Democrats, for far too long,...

  • Thanks to Murphy & Murphy Southern California Realty

    Updated Jan 7, 2021

    Thanks to Murphy & Murphy Southern California Realty for printing the Christmas story from Luke 2:1-20 in last week’s Village News because I think that most of us have forgotten what this day is all about, especially since it’s not a fictitious or fantasy event, but the real live historical event celebrating the birth of Jesus. What is mostly depicted today is Santa Claus, gifts, elves, snowmen, Christmas trees, reindeer, etc., and Christmas carols all about the same things. That’s very sad because the real reason for the s...

  • When stupidity endangers all of us

    Updated Jan 7, 2021

    I had to reread the opinion letter by Jeff Pack as his analogies are skewed. No wonder we are so deeply divided in our opinions. People wanting to open their businesses so they can live and survive are not selfish nor indulging. They are protected by our Constitution and this lockdown to save everyone from this virus is nothing more than Totalitarianism. People are not dying in the streets like the fake media and the crazies in Washington running this country would have you believe. If you look at the real science and not...

  • Back to basics

    Supervisor Jim Desmond, 5th District|Updated Jan 7, 2021

    I think we can all agree, I’m glad 2020 is in the rearview mirror. As we head into the new year, I don’t want to dwell on the past, I want to focus on the future, by getting back to basics. While there’s been a lot of media attention surrounding three new members joining the Board of Supervisors, my focus doesn’t change. When I ran for election in 2018, my top three priorities were fiscal responsibility, public safety and making sure we had adequate behavioral health services,...
