After a morning of hot trail riding, a horse decided to take a break in the water of the Santa Margarita River. The only problem was, it couldn't get back up on its own.

Once again, Mr. Maynard has created a compelling visualization, reporting “the brutal murder of Kate Steinle by illegal immigrant Garcia Zarate.” The narrative has almost everything – drama, pathos – everything except the truth. Here’s the truth. Zarate was not a model illegal immigrant. At the time in 2015, Zarate had already spent 17 of his 51 years in jail, cycling through mostly on drug possession charges: none on violence related charges. And it is policy to release non-violent offenders early. While Zarate may have... Full story

I am a native Californian, but have lived in New Mexico (3 years) and Texas (25 years). and been back in California since 1989. It is important, actually imperative that we who love our state endeavor to restore its greatness. Why have we... Full story

I am acutely aware my political adversary is incapable of relinquishing his entrenched leftist views. However, in the interest of civil discord, I will not embarrass him by mentioning the hyperinflation fleecing our nation, our rapidly plummeting economy, or the malignant outcomes of the Democratic Party's corrosive policies. Instead, unlike his last letter, I will remain focused on the illegal alien invasion at the southern border. By every metric, our society is in decline, and the Democrat Party's encouragement and...

Hayden Hamilton and Dave Baxter Here we go again. The San Diego County Water Authority last month approved new water rates and, once again, the people of Fallbrook and Rainbow will be paying more for their water than they should.

While the SDCWA has tried to blame the rec... Full story
