Julie Reeder Publisher When our founding fathers dreamed of creating a country with freedoms and opportunity, a primary freedom was that anyone could own property regardless of their status in life. They had come from a history of feudal societies where kings owned the land. Portions of the king’s land were managed by a noble class who rented out smaller portions to the peasants, who worked the land and paid them in produce and military service. The nobles, in turn, paid the king. People coming to the U.S. from all over the w... Full story
Typical Liberal who misses the point and then deflects, turns & twists the facts. Of course you've got the election in the bag, you've been stealing our State elections for decades. Nobody said the homeless problem was Newsome's fault, better re-read the opinion I wrote. The MISSED point was they are living on beach front property while the residents get to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in property taxes! Residents get to live with the crime, drugs, and stench which is now their ocean view. I say ship them to Malibu.... Full story

In your Sept. 23, 2021, issue, Lewis K. Shell posed this question in his essay, Vaccine mandates, what to do. He states, "Remember, If I get the vaccine, I can still get Covid-19 and still be contagious to the extent of a super spreader. So how does that help me or you?" Here is your answer: if you are vaccinated and contract Covid, you will recover and probably not even require hospitalization. (That's actual statistical data.) If you are not vaccinated and contract Covid, you will most likely join the majority of those who... Full story
How long does the community of Fallbrook have to suffer with FPUD? Besides high water rates, their employees totally disregard the law. Construction is supposed to start at 7 a.m., Not at 6:30, not at 6:45, Not at 6:52. Your work crews are inconsiderate neighbors in this neighborhood. Nobody, including me, wants to be woken up by backup bells on the trucks at your construction site on Alturas. Shame on you for disregarding construction laws. Jan Scott. A person who detests being woken up by an alarm too ea... Full story
4 was California’s worst year ever for wildfires – 33 people died and 4.2 billion acres burned. This year is on track to be even worse.

Until recently, this funding was in doubt. The Gov... Full story
