The Wrath of the Nevada Know-Nothings
(Chuck Muth) – The Chinese philosopher Lao Tsu once said, “Those who know do not speak. Those who speak do not know.” And when it comes to the 2023 session of the Nevada Legislature and Republican Gov. Joe Lombardo, two of the biggest mouths on the right who are trash-talking the guv are Republican National […]
2023 Nevada Legislature: Winners & Losers, Part VI
(Chuck Muth) – So where were you last *knight* when the Las Vegas Golden Knights won the Stanley Cup? Here’s where I was… That was a Conoco gas station in Swan Valley, ID. And what a nerve-wracking trip getting there. Here’s what happened… Jenna and I left Cody, WY yesterday morning and headed to Yellowstone […]
2023 Nevada Legislature: Winners & Losers, Part V
(Chuck Muth) – Quick Daddy-Daughter update on Jenna’s and my Rocky Mountain road-trip adventure. We hit Little Big Horn yesterday, and what a fascinating history lesson. I first toured this scene of Custer’s Last Stand some 35 years ago. But this time, they had a guided tour that took us onto the Crow Indian Reservation […]
2023 Nevada Legislature: Winners & Losers, Part IV
(Chuck Muth) – The weather forecast yesterday was calling for rain up here in God’s country – which, not coincidentally, is “red” country as well, as evidence by the signage in this gas station in Chugwater, WY… But we’ve got blue skies and sun this morning as Jenna and I head out to visit Custer’s […]
2023 Nevada Legislature: Winners & Losers, Part III
(Chuck Muth) – The 2023 Western Conservative Summit here in Denver wrapped up last night while a contingent of us Nevadans – April Becker, Melissa Clement, Jenna Lawrence, Dave Gibbs, Susan Proffitt and my daughter, Jenna – opted to walk up the street to Henry’s Tavern to watch Game 4 of the Stanley Cup finals. […]
2023 Nevada Legislature: Winners & Losers, Part II
(Chuck Muth) – I was going back and forth as to whether to dedicate Part II of this Winners & Losers series to the winners or losers of the 2023 session of the Nevada Legislature. But in light of the Las Vegas Golden Knights blowing Game 3 last night, losers it is… Loser: Democrat Assembly […]
2023 Nevada Legislature: Winners & Losers, Part I
(Chuck Muth) – Greetings from B-E-A-utiful Glenwood Springs, Colorado, where I learned last night, much to my surprise, the infamous Doc Holliday is buried. “I’m your huckleberry.” Jenna and I decided to take another Daddy-Daughter road trip adventure. We’re on our way to Denver to attend the big Western Conservative Conference this weekend. Then we’ll […]
I Don’t Write This Very Often, But … I Was Wrong
(Chuck Muth) – It’s impossible to overstate just how badly Democrat Senate Majority Leader Nicole Cannizzaro and Democrat Assembly Speaker Steve Yeager fudged-up the 2023 legislative session. They’re gonna need a steam shovel to get all the egg off their faces. We haven’t seen a rout like this since General George Armstrong Custer’s “Take […]
Democrats to Poor, Dark-Skinned Kids: Drop Dead!
(Chuck Muth) – This is my 15th legislative session since I started “doing politics” full-time. And as a conservative, not one has ever ended without major disappointment. And this one will be no different. Today is the last day of the regular session. And we still don’t know if we’re gonna go into overtime or […]
Disgraceful: All but 3 Republicans Go Wobbly on Christmas Tree Bill!
(Chuck Muth) – The REGULAR session of the 2023 Legislature will mercifully end at midnight tomorrow night. And some GOP legislators are either so intent on going home or so worried about getting re-elected that they’re starting to vote…well, like Democrats. Case in point: AB525 – the “Christmas Tree Bill.” This bill is so bad […]
Poster Child for Insanity: The 2023 Nevada Legislature
(Chuck Muth) – In the last Muth’s Truths I noted that Republican Gov. Joe “Don Veto” Lombardo had kept his promise to never raise taxes by axing a gas tax hike, AB359. But that bill was SO bad it bears further comment. To get around the Gibbons Tax Restraint Law – requiring a 2/3 super-majority […]
Guv Kills Bills: Joe Don Veto Slays Democrat Duds
(Chuck Muth) – I know I shouldn’t do this, but so much happened in Carson City yesterday that I just gotta share this one with everybody, not just my Muth’s Truths PLUS+ subscribers. So here goes… Been one heckuva a first legislative session for Republican Gov. Joe “Don Veto” Lombardo, with the Las Vegas Review-Journal […]
Muth’s Truths PLUS+ Special End-of-Session Edition
(Chuck Muth) – Hey, gang…things are moving fast-and-furious in Carson City in these end-of-days before the 2023 legislative session ends. So I thought I’d share today’s Muth’s Truths PLUS+ with everybody since there are some important things goin’ on. Let’s get to it… * I’m old enough to remember when conservatives LOVED Chik-fil-A for being […]
Trump Fatigue: The Milktoast that Broke The Donald’s Back
(Chuck Muth) – A couple days ago, I wrote critically about Ron DeSantis’ official campaign launch. I concluded that I wasn’t yet sure Donald Trump could win the presidential general election next year, but that I also wasn’t yet sure if Ron DeSantis could beat him in the GOP primary. I’ve changed my mind. It […]
“Don Veto” Guv Leading the Fight While GOP Legislators Hunker in the Bunker
(Chuck Muth) – Democrats in Carson City are threatening that the A’s stadium and a big subsidy for a movie studio are in jeopardy if Gov. Joe “Don Veto” Lombardo doesn’t sign their budget bills. Most conservatives could care less if they die. Vegas is doing just fine without either and will survive and prosper […]
Some Observations on DeSantis’ “Disaster” Rollout
(Chuck Muth) – Without doubt, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is a viable, credible candidate for President of the United States – much more so than the other non-Trump candidates currently in the GOP primary field. Nevertheless, the most recent Quinnipiac poll completed on May 22 shows Trump at 56% and DeSantis well behind at 25%. […]
Battle of the Badlands: Fighting City Hall…and Winning
(Chuck Muth) – They say you can’t fight City Hall. But one property owner in Las Vegas has been doing just that for seven long years now. And, believe it or not, he’s actually winning. As every business owner knows, if you get on the wrong side of a politician or bureaucrat, they’re gonna make […]
