My Sit-Down with Sam Brown
(Chuck Muth) – In 2014, Adam Laxalt won a race he should have lost – benefitting from the “red wave” that barely put him in the attorney general’s office. And in 2018 he lost a race for governor he should have won. No wonder so many Nevada conservatives are looking for someone else to hitch […]
Sam Brown: Can He Catch Lightning in a Bottle in Nevada U.S. Senate Race?
(Chuck Muth) – One of the universal truths in politics is that you can’t beat somebody with nobody. And one of the arguments being trotted out by Mitch McConnell and the DC “establishment” is that there’s no viable, credible alternative to Adam Laxalt as the GOP’s standard-bearer in next year’s crucial U.S. Senate race in […]
Here’s Your Daily Laxalt Laxative
(Chuck Muth) – The overwhelming majority of emails I’ve received from Nevada conservatives on Adam Laxalt’s campaign for U.S. Senate here in Nevada have been negative. But one Laxalt backer wrote telling me I HAD to get behind Adam right now because he’s the only “viable candidate.” First, if you don’t think Sam Brown is […]
Today’s Dose of the Laxalt Laxative
(Chuck Muth) – Folks, I promise I’m going to get to the 3rd Congressional District race, but this Adam Laxalt thing has blown up bigger than I saw coming. Had no idea the depth and intensity of the discontent with him here in Nevada. The latest… Laxalt clearly got his knickers in a knot over […]
The Laxalt Laxative: Conservatives Let Loose & Vent
(Chuck Muth) – Hoo-boy, did I ever open a can of worms with yesterday’s Muth’s Truths about the upcoming GOP primary for the Nevada U.S. Senate seat between Adam Laxalt and Sam Brown (and a gaggle of other wannabes). While neither endorsing nor opposing either candidate, I did critique some of the deficiencies of both […]

(Chuck Muth) – Nevada’s race for U.S. Senate in 2022 will be one to the top three seats contested for control of Congress in Washington, DC. Sam Brown is one of the GOP candidates and was featured in a Las Vegas Review-Journal article today. But he’ll have to get past Adam Laxalt in the GOP […]
Clark GOP’s Dumb & Dumber Duo Refuse to Admit Defeat
Just in case you need a little comic relief to distract you from the Biden disaster in Afghanistan, here’s an update on the clown show over at the Clark County Republican Party… Readers Digest version: Clark GOP was scheduled to hold elections for new officers on July 20. But head bozo, former chairman David Sajdak, […]
Clark GOP Loon Platoon Not Going Away Anytime Soon
The new-and-improved (but not lemon-scented) Clark County Republican Central Committee held its first, hastily-arranged fundraising event last night at the Italian-American Club. People lined up for an hour to get in. Standing room only. Had to be well over 300 people. Newly-elected Chairman Jesse Law introduced the new officers who were elected with him at […]
The SUN Throws Shade on Leading GOP Guv Candidates
(Chuck Muth) – The Las Vegas SUN newspaper – actually an insert in the Las Vegas Review-Journal – is southern Nevada’s version of Pravda. It’s virulently anti-conservative, anti-GOP and especially hates anything even remotely associated with President Donald Trump. For example, consider this recent hit piece against the Nevada and Clark County Republican parties. In […]
Dems’ New Talking Point: It’s Not a “Mandate,” It’s a “Requirement”
(Chuck Muth) – On ABC’s “This Week” this past weekend, former Obama chief-of-staff Rahm Emanuel told host George Stephanopoulos that government officials should not use the word “mandate” when talking about people being forced to get the coronavirus vaccine.

It’s the Primaries, Stupid: Let’s Go on a RINO Hunt!
(Chuck Muth) – Remember the 2014 election? That was the year Republicans won all six of the statewide constitutional offices, a majority in the State Senate AND a majority in the State Assembly. They then proceeded to blow it by passing then-Gov. Brian Sandoval’s largest tax hike in Nevada history during the 2015 session of […]
Mindy Robinson: The “Fredo” of Nevada Conservative Politics
WARNING: Profanity ahead… (Chuck Muth) – I have an exceptionally low tolerance level for stupidity. It’s one of my worst faults. Which brings me to Mindy Robinson. Last Saturday I joined a “pub crawl” in the Arts District in downtown Las Vegas organized by my friend and longtime conservative GOP activist Bill Laub. The event […]
Gov. Sisolak Sat on a Wall…
(Chuck Muth) – Article 19, Section 2 of the Nevada CONSTITUTION says that citizen initiative petitions calling for changes in state law “SHALL” be placed on the ballot by the Nevada Secretary of State for voters to vote up or down in the next election. But Democrat Gov. Steve Sisolak doesn’t want just such an […]
Clark GOP Circus Act Finally Folds Up Its Tent
(Chuck Muth) – Last night, members of the Clark County Republican Central Committee (CCRCC) called themselves back into session after last week’s clown-show meeting was “recessed.” Ex-Chairman David Sajdak – ringmaster of last week’s circus act – was not in the building.

Clark County GOP Train Wreck to Try Getting Back on Track
I won’t bore you with the details of the latest intra-party fight over the rules related to last week’s Clark County Republican Central Committee (CCRCC) in which the scheduled elections for new officers never took place. But here’s the long and short of the current situation… The terms of office for the party’s officers have […]
Washoe GOP Hoists RINO Water Jug
(Chuck Muth) – On Monday, for some unexplained reason, the Washoe County Republican Party posed the following question on Twitter… “In Nevada, in response to the passage of the Commerce Tax Republicans primaried Republican Legislators looking for ‘ideological purity’ in the party. Republicans lost both Houses, and became a super-minority. Democrats were then able to […]
Why I Cannot Support Carrie Buck for Clark GOP Chairman
(Chuck Muth) – The more I see, read and hear about the Clark County Republican Central Committee (CCRCC) clown show, the worse it gets. There may be a new meeting to elect new officers this week. Then again, there might not. But regardless of when the election inevitably takes place, I’ve come to the painful […]
