Supervisor Jim Desmond 5th District Last month, I hosted a fentanyl policy roundtable that included updates from DEA Narcotics officials, Homeland Security Investigators, The U.S. Attorney’s office, California policymakers, and medical professionals about the impacts of fentanyl. The tragic stories of fentanyl overdoses are becoming all too common, with heartbreaking stories of kids dying because they bought prescription pills like Adderall or Xanax and they turned out to be laced with fentanyl. The meeting showed we all h... Full story
When the Left can't handle the truth about the reality of what is really happening in the world and has nothing but lies and half-truths, they punt their Holy Grail, baby killing abortion. We all know the real truth about this barbaric procedure. Do you ever notice how they never really debate any real issues? They never seem to have an original thought; they just pick a word or phrase and it goes out as a "code word" for the day with every single news reality show repeating the same mantra. They deflect from the truth. Mr.... Full story
Elizabeth Youngman-Westphal Special to The Village News After my wedding ring, there is only one other sacred item in this household. It’s called “The Magic Box” and it belongs to the grandkids. Here is how it started. We moved to Fallbrook in 2014 to help my stepson’s family with new baby care. Our idea was we’d watch the lil’ guy once a week to ease the cost of babysitting. That was the idea. It worked out to be a lot more often and in exchange for our frequent devoted care we have been rewarded with priceless memories an... Full story
SACRAMENTO – Bipartisan legislation by State Senator Brian W. Jones (R-Santee), Senator Ben Hueso (D-San Diego), and Assemblyman Jim Cooper (D-Elk Grove), aimed at preventing the state from continuing to try to secretly dump Sexually Violent Predators in unsuspecting communities, was stalled in the Senate Public Safety Committee, April 6. Jones’s Senate Bill 814, the “Sexually Violent Predator Accountability, Fairness, and Enforcement Act” (SAFE Act), was in response to the California Department of State Hospitals and its...

Julie Reeder Publisher I believe people are tired of being bullied in politics, government at all levels, school boards, and media. I think this is why parents have been rising up too. And this is why some people are becoming bullies in response. I believe this is why there’s so much interest in Elon Musk making moves to buy Twitter. Free speech advocates are hopeful while others are afraid. Especially the managers, board members and fact checkers that may lose their jobs. The stockholders would make money, which is supposed...

Dr. Rick Koole LifePointe Church This month hundreds of millions of Christians around the world will celebrate Easter. It is a day set aside to commemorate a time two thousand years ago when Jesus, who was God’s son in human flesh, lived a life without sin, was crucified, buried, and after three days rose from the dead. One of the most important questions each of us must grapple with is “who exactly was Jesus?” Thousands of books have tackled this question but let me share a very brief look at the first three verses in the B...

I felt compelled to respond to Judy Willis’ letter, because of the "fooled by this EV propaganda" line. How many decades have the fossil fuel industry been putting out propaganda? It has been denying the effects of their products on the climate and pollution. I attempted to fact check your mining numbers but could not find a good source for this info. But what I did find was still worse than I expected. Unethically sourced materials are indeed a problem. This happens more in poor countries than wealthy ones, but it happens e... Full story
Yes! America is in its final days, but we still have time to save the greatest nation on earth. California is another story. With the theft of Newsom's recall election, we are all doomed. A few weeks ago, The Village News printed a large size "wake-up" call of what Sacramento is trying to pass in congress, titled Sacramento "Vaccine Work Group" Bills. You need to read this Nazi propaganda. SB 871 would mandate the CCP vaccine for all kids, in school or child care, so basically regardless of age. So even if I home school or... Full story
Imagine a 25% tax to sell your home? Assemblymember Christopher M. Ward of California’s 78th District, which is from Solana Beach to Imperial Beach, is the author of Assembly Bill 1771. It was co-authored by Assemblymember Kevin Mullin of California’s 22nd District, which is South San Francisco and South San Francisco Bay. They state that the focus of the bill is on investors/flippers. The only problem is it targets the capital gains from the sale or exchange of any qua... Full story
Harold Pease, Ph. D. Special to Village News There are at least two sides to every story, globalists own all six of the major news outlets, thus, mostly globalist news is presented in America. When censorship prevails, there exists but one side. The Deep State media still refuse to share two important aspects of the Ukrainian / Russian story, Ukraine’s connection to the New World Order and NATO’s roll in provoking Russia. As to the first, http://www.LibertyUnderfire.com formally published, “Putin is Destroying the New World... Full story
Supervisor Jim Desmond 5th District Seniors, generally on fixed incomes, are the fastest-growing population in North County and we must do all we can to help them with the rising prices of electricity, gas and housing. In recent weeks, I’ve sent letters to the state asking for gas and electricity relief, with the $45 billion surplus. While that’s only one part of the equation, another major factor is the cost of housing. It’s no secret there is a major need for affordable housing in San Diego County. Many families are being...

Assemblymember Marie Waldron District 75 Under California’s constitution, the Legislature must produce a balanced budget by June 15, and it has to be signed into law no later than June 30. Expenditures over the coming fiscal year are expected to be around $286 billion. Drafting a budget for a state larger than most countries is a monumental task. California’s constitution requires the Governor to introduce a budget by Jan. 10. That proposal is analyzed by the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst’s Office, which forwards its analy... Full story
The answer to the author’s rhetorical question is still a resounding no! But rather than deconstructing his denigration of the Democratic Party and many of its minority members, I offer this challenge: name one bill, proposed by Republicans since 2016, that would have significantly aided working class Americans. What are Republican state legislatures doing? Job No. 1 appears to be criminalizing abortion: the avowed intent is to “save the babies.” That sounds good; does eliminating legal abortion actually save babies? No, b... Full story
Thank you to high school students Leo Maldonado and Marcos Morales who joined the effort to spruce up Fallbrook in preparation for visitors to Fallbrook for the Avocado Festival. In general, volunteers from Fallbrook High School's student community service program help and support Fallbrook’s nonprofits to fulfill their community service requirement for graduation. In our unincorporated community that has no tax based funding, this is great. It makes our young people aware of the responsibility we have of giving back to o... Full story
Assemblymember Marie Waldron 75th District The bipartisan California Legislative Women’s Caucus was formed in 1985 by nine Democrats and six Republicans. Today, 38 of the Legislature’s 120 members are women – the caucus now includes 14 Senators and 24 Assemblymembers. According to its bylaws, the Legislative Women’s caucus “encourages collegiality, participation in and cooperation among elected women in California government to promote the interests of women, children and families through legislation.” The LWC has just an...

Today it’s raining. You know, the civilized way it does here in California. It would be called a drizzle in Kansas or any other place in the middle west where every drop of precipitation is accompanied by ear-racketing thunder, hair-straightening lightning, followed by torrents of liquid cascading to the earth. Now that’s rain. Here in North County, nature is a bit more polite. She just mucks up our last carwash and streaks the kitchen window, all the while, “the rain... Full story
Supervisor Jim Desmond 5th District We are incredibly lucky to live in such a wonderful region. I believe San Diego is the greatest county in the world, specifically North County! We are home to such a variety of amenities, from business, education, tourism, healthcare, technology and so much more. Fun fact, District 5, which is the district I represent, is the biggest district in San Diego County, making up over 51% of the entire county. Also, District 5 is bigger than the state of Delaware. As a way of highlighting all the... Full story
I hear titles or cliches in my head, often when I think about the real estate marketplace. Titles like “The Fast and the Furious” or phrases like “the devil is in the details.” Sometimes it feels like we’re spinning plates on sticks, praying that none of the plates crash to the ground. Take your eye off the ball and “you’re out!” Sorry about that, I can’t help myself. The fact of the matter is that all those phrases apply to today’s real estate market and the importance of t...

Julie Reeder Publisher Interesting developments this week: Entrepreneur Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, SpaceX and co-founder of Neuralink, invested $3 Billion dollars recently in Twitter stock, which makes him the largest shareholder. Musk has been quite outspoken regarding social platforms censoring free speech. He also publicly rebelled against California Gov. Newsom’s lockdowns and moved his corporate headquarters from California to Texas in protest. After the revelation of Twitter’s new stockholder went public, Twitter fou... Full story
April 10, 2022 marks 30 years after a drunk driver hit me when I was 16 years old. I had a four month long coma, broken bones, paralysis, and brain injuries. My gait is not perfect, I read lips and my speech is not ideal. I deal with these problems daily. Years of therapy and personal strength paid off. Inspiring people is my goal. In April 2006, I started speaking at Every 15 Minutes retreats with the CHP and other First Responders teaching teenagers to not drink and drive. I also spoke to schools and groups in six cities...

Assemblymember Tasha Boerner Horvath 76th District As a mother, I’ve made keeping my kids safe online a priority. It is well known that social media can have a profound impact on our kids’ emotional and mental health, particularly their self-esteem, body image, and relationships with others. It’s also no secret that the Internet and social media can provide our children with a world of possibilities to explore and learn. That’s why the Assembly Arts, Entertainment, Sports, Tourism, and Internet Media Committee, which I chair... Full story
I want to express my profound appreciation to "JT" for drawing attention to my letter entitled "Is America in her final days?" Although his critique was without merit, his comments demonstrate how close-minded partisan Democrats have become. Armed with dubious sources, his rebuttal was full of half-truths and untruths that we've heard from Democrats so many times before. It's clear there are two distinctly different visions for our future, one that embraces our heritage and one that runs from it. For those who still love and... Full story
Many of us acknowledge that the world and our country, as we used to know it, is imploding. Many of us blame the Biden Administration and their policies for causing this and for reversing so many of Trump's policies that were working. There are other factors causing mayhem around the world and in our country. One of which is our moral fabric. I invite you to attend a one-time showing of Trevor Loudon's new documentary, "Enemies Within the Church," to see what is happening or not happening to keep our country a Christian... Full story
Assemblymember Marie Waldron AD-75 This year California observed AG Day Tuesday, March 23, a day we celebrate our state’s unique contributions to the nation’s food supply. California has been recognized as the country’s number one agricultural state for over 60 years, supplying about 50% of our fruit, vegetables and nuts. AG Day gives me an opportunity to remind my Northern California colleagues of this region’s significance in maintaining our agricultural leadership. According to the San Diego County Farm Bureau, San Die... Full story
I’m a very logical thinker. As a real estate professional that is mostly good because it keeps me focused on what is measurable and true. Real estate, however, for the consumer is a very emotional process. When the market is spinning as fast as it currently is, the emotion of real estate can get in the way of what is logical, measurable, and true. Back to the simple math of real estate; $1,000,000 less 4% is $960,000; $1,200,000 less 6% is $1,128,000. Those four numbers are t... Full story
