To answer all of those who would say, “I can’t believe you would vote for Trump:” I’m not just voting for him. I’m voting for the Second Amendment. I’m voting for the next Supreme Court justice. I’m voting for the Electoral College and the Republic we live in. I’m voting for the police and law and order. I’m voting for the military and the veterans who fought for and died for this country. I’m voting for the flag that is always missing from the Democratic background. I’m voting for the right to speak my opinion and not be ce...
San Diego County was officially removed from the state's COVID-19 monitoring list Tuesday, Aug. 18, meaning a two-week countdown was began until county schools could consider reopening campuses to students. Locally, school districts are taking slightly different approaches to bring students back to campus. According to Ilsa Garza-Gonzalez, superintendent of Fallbrook Union High School District, the exact date that the process will begin is still a bit unclear. "As you know, fr...

California lawmakers OK’d exemptions to about two-dozen more professions Monday, Aug. 30, from a landmark labor law designed to treat more people like employees instead of independent contractors. Among other things, the legislation would end what critics had said were unworkable limits on services provided by freelance still photographers, photojournalists, freelance writers, editors and newspaper cartoonists with certain restrictions to make sure they are not replacing current employees. Lawmakers separately approved g...
California has already reached historic levels in acres burned – 700 fires with over 1.3 million acres burned. As always, California’s first responders are on the job, protecting our lives, our property, our families and everything we hold dear. We owe them our cooperation, our respect and our support. Last winter’s heavy rainfall generated a huge amount of fuel in our arid region. Now that summer is winding down, that fuel is dry and just waiting for a spark. With Santa...
Mike Reardon railed at my discussion of the failures of “Obamacare,” the Holy Grail. He seems to have missed mentioning some of the most important points of my letter, namely blatant lies of former President Barack Obama that you could keep your doctor and your plan, and Jonathan Gruber’s laughing at how easily they “fooled” the American people with a health plan they knew would not work. Obviously, Mr. Reardon is one of their victims. He mentions how many people “lost” coverage because President Donald Trump made “Obamaca...
First untruth: “...when this president (Donald Trump) took office, unemployment was the highest it had been in a decade.” Fact: In January 2017, it was 4.70%. Former President Barack Obama had inherited a rate of 7.8% (and falling) from Republican G.W. Bush and steadily reduced it. Second untruth: “Obama gave China all of our prescription medication formulas to China.” Fact: China, and other countries overseas, supply many of the raw products needed to make generic drugs. China is not a sole source. Third untruth: “(Hilla...
I can remember living in the great white north where there was snow, ice, sleet and hail all at the same time. Cold doesn’t describe the temperature. It was so damp and somewhere below freezing, the cold would go right through you. Even as a child I knew I didn’t want to live there for the rest of my life, so I started thinking about where I would escape to, even at 8 years old. I had dreams of living in London with the Queen; however, the weather would have probably been the same as where I was. The years went by and I found...
I believe what young people who are thinking that capitalism is evil and communism is better don't understand, in addition to the fact that Marxist, Communist and socialist movements killed over 100 million people in the 20th century and that it hasn’t really worked anywhere, is that it’s not just money that makes our country and our system and culture work. In capitalism, it’s the work people do for each other that is valuable, in addition to our free speech and right to li...
We can start with some good news when it comes to our push to reopen San Diego. Our children can go back to school. Last week, it was announced that all San Diego County school can open. Now, it’s up to school districts to determine their best method of learning, including in-person with safety measures to protect students and staff. While I’m pleased to see children going back into the classroom, that is only half of the battle. We still have a 12% unemployment rate in San Di...

It seems as if everyone is angry these days. Whether it is those who are rioting in the streets or those seething quietly on the sidelines, anger is in the air. There is an old proverb that warns about the consequences of anger by reminding us that what is begun in anger will end in shame. Anger has a way of appearing in many forms. I believe there are times when people should be angry over injustices they witness. It’s been referred to as “righteous indignation.” Some areas...

The meeting of the North County Fire Protection District Board of Directors, Tuesday, Aug. 25, dealt with two main issues, according to Stephen Abbott, fire chief and CEO of the district. “The one was the conflict of interest code and then the other one was the approval of the alternative revenue implementation plan,” he said during a phone interview. The revenue implementation plan Abbott referred to was a California State University San Marcos report generated after the school canvased various departments around the country...
Have you ever had a dream come true? It is a flash when your mind tells you you’ve already been there, done this. Have you lived this experience before? I have experienced it twice. The dreams started when I was going through radiation treatment for cervical cancer in the late seventies. The both dreams happened regularly. So many times, I can still recall it all them years later. The first déjà vu I experienced was walking up the stairs with my daughter to our sec...
A residential structure fire on the 1700 block of Bellington Lane in Fallbrook Wednesday, Aug. 26, caused two people to evacuate and become displaced and caused one firefighter to receive treatment after fighting the blaze. The multi-agency effort, which began at 6:30 p.m., was contained roughly an hour later. “The first units on the scene arrived to find about 50% of the structure well involved in fire,” Kevin Mahr, division chief of operations and emergency medical services, said. “And so they took a defensive strat...
