The year was 1967, a year when the U.S. and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics remained locked in the Cold War. As Ron and Judy Ritter walked the grounds of Wartburg Castle – in East Germany – they observed another man and woman, likewise on a stroll. "They were a distinguished couple," Ron Ritter recalled. "When they reached an area with a view to the west they just stopped, staring into the distance. They just stood there, whispering I think, so still, just looking acr...

It is based on exposure to experiences that provide a basis to understanding the overall situation that exists. Knowledge is also derived from the wisdom of others. In real estate, a professional, licensed Realtor uses all three of these sources of knowledge to provide the best service to their client. A Realtor’s knowledge b...

We’ve all heard the phrase, ‘Follow the science,’ over the last year. While it may sound good, at times I’ve questioned if those at our state level truly are following the science. A study released this week examined more than 48,000 Kaiser Permanente patients in Southern California and the effects regular exercise has on their COVID-19 complications. The results, “Patients with COVID-19 who were consistently inactive had a greater risk of hospitalization, admission to the IC...
WASHINGTON – April 21, Congressman Darrell Issa (CA-50), senior member of the House Judiciary Committee, led the Republican Motion to Recommit to prevent taxpayer funding for a new alien port of entry entitlement created by H.R. 1573, the Access to Counsel Act of 2021. This bill would require that aliens attempting to enter the U.S. through a port of entry be afforded a right to consult with a counsel or other interested party if the alien is referred to a secondary inspection. This will upend current practice and impose s...
Kudos to David Lewis. He was right on and it was a pleasure to hear from a kindred spirit. I know that we in the conservative camp are not alone, but few of us express our opinions. President Trump has succeeded in all his promises and more and the Biden group has succeeded in destroying so many of his accomplishments and diminishing jobs and opportunities.. Don't the liberals see this? How blind are those who cannot see. I had to go to Riverside County to pay under four dollars for gas today. Gas has gone up exponentially...
After reading about “another recall,” I felt compelled to pen this letter. Although my wife and I do not have any children in the district anymore, we do have working knowledge of how things work.

In the summer 2020, Fallbrook Union High School District develops a plan for reopening as per the governor. In the fall 2020, the teachers negotiate an agreement to stay out of the cla...
There is a lot of discussion around equity these days. Equality and equity can be vastly different. Equality refers to the value and worth of every person individually and their ability and right to be treated the same and have an equal opportunity, no matter what their race, gender, sexual preference, religion, etc. It’s what our country fought for in the Civil Rights movement and the women’s movement. Systemic laws like Jim Crow laws were outlawed. If you are a woman, the...
Devastation from California’s wildfires has been at record levels in recent years. Last year our wildfire season resulted in over 4 million acres burned in 9,600 fires – 31 people died. The economic costs to homeowners, utilities, ratepayers, insurers and local governments has been catastrophic. While electric utility infrastructure has accounted for less than 10% of wildfires historically, downed power lines have been responsible for about half of California’s most destr...
