I feel compelled to write this letter in response to something that was in the May 4 Village News. I am speaking about the “Worker of the Week” given to Jesus Christ. It is unconscionable that you would put something like this in what is supposed to be an “unbiased” newspaper that has a job to report the news, not only locally, but also news of the world. This is wrong on so many levels that I almost don’t know where to begin. First of all, the hubris of thinking that everyone in town believes the same thing and that this...

Supervisor Jim Desmond 5th District We continue to hear politicians tout buzzwords like equality and equity, as a way to lift people out of poverty. Blame the rich to help the poor, and you’ll continue to get reelected. Yet, as we’ve seen throughout history, countries that have prioritized this socialist point of view have crushed the middle class, creating large chasms between the rich and poor. The word socialism is thrown around flippantly in today's society, yet two proposals, one from the State of California and another...

I strongly urge you and your State Senate colleagues to vociferously condemn and refuse to participate in the California Senate’s plan to “honor” the bigoted anti-Catholic minstrel performers known as the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. These so-called performers hearken back to the dark days of the Jim Crow Era minstrel shows that routinely demeaned and caricatured Black Americans, all in the name of performance art. If anything, a strong case could be made that the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence is a de facto hate group...
Assemblymember Marie Waldron 75th District This year, the “House of Origin Deadline” was June 2, the final day for bills to pass the house in which they were first introduced.

The bill passed without opposition and expands the duties that unlicensed personn...
There seems to be no end to the superfluous attacks on our freedoms as our nation plunges headfirst into this Marxist morass. America is in grave peril, from the pernicious attacks on the First Amendment to the cascading crisis at our southern border, to the nagging stagflation emptying our gas tanks and ravaging our bank accounts. And yet, Democrats are unfazed by the millions of Americans buried beneath the rubble of their authoritarian governance. Ironically, half of our fellow citizens have been swept up in the maelstrom...
