The basic criteria for the Aid and Attendance benefit include the inability to feed oneself, to dress and undress without assistance, or […]
Welcome to the latest dog and pony show – the race for Tulare County Sheriff. We have a small war going on between “The Keystone Kops” (aka Sheriff Whaley, et al.) on the one hand, and “Deputy Dawg” (aka Sheriff Beaudroix, et al. ) on the other hand – or it could be the other […]
In a recent candidate forum that took place in Porterville, the current District Attorney, Tim Ward, trivialized law enforcement officers throughout the county.

Those issues are however, absolutely trivial and insignificant if compare to the reality of the crimes that have been white-washed and swept under the carpet throughout the current ‘acting’ Sheriff’s career. It’s ironic that in his attempts to paint Whaley […]
Valley Voice, I read your article on Calif. Food Banks have crucial need for more milk. I’m pretty sure these folks who are asking for food at the banks are receiving the E.B.T. Card and can buy so much food, I live where a lot of these Mexicans live they throw meat and all kinds […]
Do you believe the official 9-11 report? Why? According to AE911Truth, there is scientific proof that the Twin Towers and Building #7 were demolished by explosives. Many Americans agree with the architects and engineers of AE911Truth that a new independent investigation into 9-11 is needed because of the facts they have discovered. Why is the […]
Visalians, it’s time to adopt a new habit. One of our most important resources is in trouble, and we need to do everything we can to protect it today and into the future.
