  • Re: The Coronavirus: who's really at fault? [Village News, S. Jones Letter, 5/28/20]

    Updated Jun 4, 2020

    You want to play the blame game, Sue? The federal medical supply was under stocked when former President Barack Obama left office, so that’s Obama’s fault. Two and half years into President Donald Trump’s presidency, the stockpile was still under stocked. Whose fault might that be? Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico hard, Sept. 16, 2017, less than a year into Trump’s presidency. From the “under stocked” stockpile, the U.S. was able to provide Puerto Rico “213,634 N95 respirators, 299,706 gloves, 143,723 face shields and 3...

  • Pick up your dog's poop

    Updated Jun 4, 2020

    It’s a disgusting habit to leave those little green gift bags behind; they have littered Los Jilgueros Preserve, Dinwiddie Park, Santa Margarita River trails. Picking up your dog’s poop is part of ownership. I and many others, do not appreciate having to walk around those little green baggies. Be responsible, throw them in the trash. To the guy jogging with the large white German shepherd in Los Jilgueros Preserve, thank you for leaving the fresh pile of dog poop on the trail. You and I were the only ones there, and your dog...

  • Re: 'National news in the Village News' [Village News Letters, 5/28/20]

    Updated Jun 4, 2020

    My reaction to Maggie Rogan’s criticism of The Village News and Julie Reeder’s response is simply this. We could not have a more honest, objective, creative, resourceful and enlightened publisher and journalist than Julie Reeder. I have lived in Fallbrook for 53 years, and the quality of our local newspaper could not be more professional. It strives to include every aspect of village life, and now strives to include important aspects of regional, state, national and international news, particularly for those who read no oth...

  • A call for Americans to get a backbone and stand up

    Updated Jun 4, 2020

    This is the time to stand up and say enough with the constant attacks on our American way of life and our president. It is time the left stops with their hateful attacks on our president and support everything he has done for this country. We have taken their bold lies, their crap, fake news, their corruption, their belligerence, their bullying, their insane political correctness and everything A to Z for years now. We are now watching President Donald Trump being bullied hourly. I was told I was racist because I didn’t a...

  • What we know about the Chinese government

    Updated Jun 4, 2020

    In December 2019, while most of the world was unaware of the impending virus that was about to sweep across seven continents, Beijing was busy trying to expand China’s national powers in Hong Kong. For years, the Chinese Communist government has been encroaching on the rights of the Hong Kong people with the full intent of abandoning the one nation two systems treaty mutually signed in 1997. Outraged by these authoritarian actions, hundreds of thousands of “Freedom Seeking Hong Kongers” took to the streets to resist the overr...

  • Will rioters listen to George Floyd's brother?

    Julie Reeder, Publisher|Updated Jun 4, 2020

    This week has been horrific and unforgettable for everyone, starting with George Floyd’s family. With the nation in upheaval over the wrongful and murderous death of Floyd by a Minneapolis policeman, tensions and emotions are high. Very sadly, people have used this man’s death as an excuse to murder, loot, destroy and set their cities on fire, hurt local business owners and beat up senior citizens. Nine people have died so far. Those being hurt are not to blame, even if the...

  • Questions on placing a childrens' park near seniors

    Updated Jun 4, 2020

    Why? Why put an active park, with ballfields for children, with the drive thru-in a senior citizen community? Rancho Monserate has about 230 active elders driving their golf carts across Dulin Road to get to their golf course, tennis courts, pool (pre-COVID-19), clubhouse and other amenities. Why? Why not put an active park where the children are? Rancho Monserate is on the east side of I-15. The kids are on the west side. How many children are in Lake Rancho Viejo? How many in the new construction in Horse Creek? Why?...

  • Re: 'National news in the Village News' [Village News, Letters, 5/28/20]

    Updated Jun 4, 2020

    Dear Julie, I have also been a Fallbrook resident for over 20 years and have supported your newspaper, recognizing it as part of our responsibility to local community and events. I also enjoy reading the letters in the opinion section and both letters from Maggie Rogan and yourself found resonance with me for different reasons. As you mentioned, there is a need for national news but I find it increasingly difficult to form an opinion due to the many-sided perspectives that it can evoke. Is that necessarily bad? Probably not b...

  • Protecting our most vulnerable

    Supervisor Jim Desmond|Updated Jun 4, 2020

    5th District During the COVID-19 pandemic, I’ve been led by facts and data. While I’m pleased to see more businesses open, like hair salons and restaurants, there are many more that need to open. During this opening process we need to continue to be safe and smart about protecting our most vulnerable. As of May 27, 2020, 43% of the COVID-19 deaths in the United States occurred at nursing homes and assisted living facilities. In Minnesota, for example, a staggering 81% of all...

  • Flynn judge asks higher court to allow more time for decision

    Updated Jun 4, 2020

    Petr Svab The Epoch Times The federal judge presiding over the case of former Trump adviser retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn has told the District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals it should stay out of his decision to prolong the case even after the Department of Justice dropped the case against Flynn almost a month ago. Beth Wilkinson, lawyer for District Judge Emmet Sullivan, said the DOJ motion to dismiss the case “does not conclusively establish that it ‘acted properly’” in seeking the dismissal. Because Sullivan hasn’t...
