The Federal Open Market Committee met this week to decide the stance of the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy. In its official statement, the committee chose to maintain its effective federal funds rate target in the range of zero to 0.25 percent and ongoing open market purchases of $120 billion per month. The Fed did, however, have an important change listed in its Implementation Note. It raised the interest rates that the Fed pays to banks and other financial institutions. How should consumers and investors interpret t...

Pete Ricketts announced. Ricketts, a Republican, appears to be the second governor to assist after Florida Gov.

If your business falls victim to ransomware and you want simple advice on whether to pay the criminals, don’t expect much help from the U.S. government. The answer is apt to be: It depends. “It is the position of the U.S. government that we strongly discourage the payment of ransoms,” Eric Goldstein, a top cybersecurity official in the Department of Homeland Security, told a congressional hearing last week. But paying carries no penalties and refusing would be almost suicidal for many companies, especially the small and mediu...

SACRAMENTO – Senator Patricia Bates (R-Laguna Niguel) issued the following statement after the Senate today approved a 2021-22 budget proposal agreed to by Assembly and Senate Democrats: “Everyone knows the real purpose of today’s vote – it is to ensure the Legislature continues to get paid after June 15. Only the Governor knows whether he will sign this budget or not. “I did not support today’s budget because California can do better. It is unwise for this budget to pay down only $2 billion of the state’s $24 billion unemp...
As usual, liberal are free to voice their twisted opinions and bend the words of people they don't agree with right here in our newspaper. That's the beautiful thing about Ms. Reeder, she is truly tolerant and believes in the constitution that gives us all freedom of speech. Too bad Conservatives aren't afforded the same respect and freedom of speech on places such as Facebook and the internet that all taxpayers funded the internet to have. While Mr. Graber is right on, we have the almost weekly opinion of Mr. Terrell who is...
Randy Alcorn’s book “Heaven” has opened my eyes to scripture I had read before but had glossed over. It is like putting the pieces of a puzzle together that had never come together before and then seeing the big picture for the first time. Alcorn explains that the present Heaven, although wonderful, isn't the final Heaven as described in the Bible in the last two chapters of the book of Revelation. The creator of the present heaven and present earth will create a new heaven and a new earth in which those who love God and w...
