Nevada GOP Establishment: Bring Us the Head of Sigal Chattah! – Part III
(Chuck Muth) – OK, let’s wrap up this three-part series and bring it home… In Part I I recounted a number of examples in past elections over the years where establishment Republicans knee-capped conservative candidates to keep them out of office. In Part II I detailed how and why the Republican establishment in Nevada is […]
The (Sorry) State of Our Union
State of the Union 2020 “Jobs are booming, incomes are soaring, poverty is plummeting, crime is falling, confidence is surging and our country is thriving. America’s enemies are on the run, America’s fortunes are on the rise.” – President Donald Trump State of the Union 2022 “Record high inflation, skyrocketing gas prices, a war on […]
Nevada GOP Establishment: Bring Us the Head of Sigal Chattah! – Part II
(Chuck Muth) – In Part I of this series I recounted a number of examples in past elections over the years where establishment Republicans knee-capped conservative candidates to keep them out of office – even if it meant electing Democrats. In this second part I discuss history repeating itself here in Nevada this cycle. For […]
Nevada GOP Establishment: Bring Us the Head of Sigal Chattah! – Part I
(Chuck Muth) – In his 2014 book titled “Takeover: The 100-Year War for the Soul of the GOP and How Conservatives Can Finally Win It,” veteran conservative strategist Richard Viguerie argues that “the toughest battle for conservatives” in the 1990s after Newt Gingrich’s takeover of Congress “was not with Democrats and liberals; it was with […]
Sam Peters, Tighty-Whities in a Twist, Throws Shade on Annie Black
(Chuck Muth) – Right after the first of the year, one of my former clients, Nevada Assemblywoman Annie Black (pictured above after robbing Steve Sisolak’s old telemarketing boiler room), threw her MAGA hat into the 4th Congressional District primary ring. A game-changer. She’s clearly the strongest possible GOP candidate in the field. But one of […]
FUBAR Report: Another Nevada GOP Fuster-Cluck
(Chuck Muth) – Republicans never blow an opportunity to blow an opportunity. This is a long one, so grab a cup of coffee… The fact that Democrats hold 5 out of 6 statewide constitutional offices, 5 out of 6 congressional seats and both the State Senate and State Assembly with near super-majority majorities means Nevada […]
UPDATE: New Odds in Nevada GOP Gubernatorial Race
(Chuck Muth) – Remember the Democrat presidential primaries in 2020? Socialist-Democrat Bernie Sanders was on a roll. And it scared the tar out of establishment D’s. So one by one the other wannabes started dropping out of the race and lined up behind Joe Biden – not because they loved Biden, but because they feared […]
Nevada Attorney General: An “Existential Threat” to Your Freedom
(Chuck Muth) – Most people have no idea what the heck the state’s “attorney general” does. Why? Because in most cases it has absolutely nothing to do with their daily lives…unless they’re a criminal. But because of Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak’s ongoing abuse of COVID-related “emergency” powers, many of us have been “guilty” of breaking […]
In Nevada’s Gender-Card Dame-Game, GOP Holds 4 Aces
(Chuck Muth) – Identity politics is stupid. Democrats love to play this game. Vote for Candidate A because he’s black. Vote for Candidate B because she’s a woman. Vote for Candidate C because he’s Jewish. Vote for Candidate D because she’s gay. Vote for Candidate E because he’s a she or she’s a he, depending […]
UPDATE: Nevada GOP Primary for Governor
(Chuck Muth) – In light of campaign finance reports for 2021 now being posted, I’ve updated my odds for the Republican primary for governor… Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo swamped the field in this pre-primary primary money chase, reporting $3.1 million raised with $2.6 million cash-on-hand. And that doesn’t even include the $2.5 million reported […]
Must-See TV: My Sit-Down with Michelle Mortensen
(Chuck Muth) – Remember what email did to the Post Office’s snail-mail? Well, the same thing is happening now to mainstream news programming with the rise of independent streaming podcasts. And a pioneer of using the new technology is former television news personality Michelle Mortensen. Her State of the State podcast covering Nevada politics, especially […]
You Asked for It, You Got It…Campaign Boot Camp is BACK!
(Chuck Muth) – OK, I conducted my first one-day Campaign Boot Camp at the Ahern Corporate Headquarters in Las Vegas on January 15. Since then, I’ve gotten a number of requests from folks who missed it asking if I’d “do it again.” So, tentatively pencil in… Saturday, March 5 in Norwalk, CT Saturday, March 12 […]
Nevada U.S. Senate Race UPDATE
(Chuck Muth) – There’s a new poll out on Nevada’s pivotal U.S. Senate race this morning. Some observations… The poll shows Democrat incumbent Sen. Catherine Cortez-Masto-Reid beating Republican challenger Adam Laxalt, 44-35%. The same poll shows Democrat Resident Joe Biden’s “disapproval” rating at 53%. So St. Catherine’s 9-point lead over Laxalt indicates significant weakness for […]
Saggy Nuts, Dildoes and a Crazed Trans-Republican
(Chuck Muth) – The liberal blogger who’s been leaking private texts from Sigal Chattah, Nevada GOP candidate for attorney general, isn’t happy that I outed him as a Democrat “spy” in Sunday’s Muth’s Truths. In a series of unhinged tweets, the guy claims: “My closest friends are…Republican women (as you know).” Um, no. Almost all […]
Establishment Republicans Plotting to Hang “Jew Who Saved Christmas” from a Crane
(Chuck Muth) – You might want to sit down and grab a coffee or Bloody Mary for this one. Lots to unpack. If I’ve said or written it once, I’ve said or written it a million times: Republicans never blow an opportunity to blow an opportunity. And here we go again… As you know, Resident […]
Rob Lauer: Diary of a Master Baiter
(Chuck Muth) – Every now and then someone will shoot me the link to a blog post with a provocative headline. I take the bait and open it. Then I find out it was written by Nevada blogger Rob Lauer. So I immediately dismiss it. You should, too. Here’s why… Lauer is a Pied Piperesque […]
Nevada RINO Hunt: It’s Time to Get “Stoned”!
(Chuck Muth) – Nevada State Sen. Joe Hardy enjoys the distinction of being the only GOP member of the Nevada Legislature who voted for both the then-largest tax hike in Nevada history as an assemblyman in 2003, as well as the current record-holding largest tax hike in Nevada history in 2015 as a state senator.
