Health Care Reform and the Illegal Alien
HEALTH CARE FOR ILLEGALS VERY EXPENSIVE: “Illegal immigrants, meanwhile, are more likely to seek health-care at a hospital emergency room, according to both the CIS and the Pew Hispanic Center. . . . The Center for Immigration Studies, meanwhile, estimates that each year taxpayers – federal, state and local — end up paying more than […]
SEAL Prosecution Totally Insane
I still can’t believe this is happening.
Teachers Union Turkeys Gobbling for Goodies
Back in 2003, the anti-education apparatchiks who run the Nevada teachers union used their clout in the Legislature to pass a law banning teachers from being evaluated based on, you know, something so objective as how well their students performed on standard tests. Teacher competence, you see, shouldn’t be based on how well teachers teach […]
AG Masto’s Conflicts ‘R Us
Following up on our story yesterday about the husband of Democrat Attorney General Catherine Masto hosting a fundraiser for a candidate running against Lt. Gov. Brian Krolicki just four days before the AG’s trumped-up case against Krolicki is scheduled to begin in court, a Nevada News & Views reader writes:
CHARGE!
I wish I could get my friend and Florida congressional candidate Lt. Col. Allen West (retired) to loosen up and tell us how he really feels about the direction Obama is taking our nation.
Is Charlie Crist Toast?
The national battle for the soul of the Republican Party has moved from New York’s 23rd congressional district to the Florida U.S. Senate race, where incumbent Gov. Charlie Crist is losing ground quickly to an underfunded conservative challenger by the name of Marco Rubio, who is also a former Speaker of the Florida House of […]
Tax Study Committee One Big Joke
Nevada legislators on Monday named 19 people to the Nevada Vision Stakeholder Group which will participate in a review of the state’s tax system. And here’s all you need to know about where this group is going:
What About Joe?
As you’ll find on the Nevada News & Views headline page today, the conservative business organization Keystone Corporation announced its state Senate endorsements today. But perhaps the biggest news of the announcement was who DIDN’T get endorsed: Joe Hardy
All in the Family
Without doubt, one of my favorite elected officials in all of Nevada is Nye County Commissioner Joni Eastley of Tonopah. She not only knows her issues and is on the “right” side of them, but she’s politically savvy as well…and a darned nice person to boot. You don’t hit that triple crown in politics very […]
Muth’s Truths – November 6, 2009
The headline over a Washington Post story on the front page of today’s Las Vegas Review-Journal reads: “Gunman kills 12 soldiers.” Now, I’m no expert, but shouldn’t that headline have read “Muslim Gunman kills 12 soldiers”? And why did the Post story not even mention the man was a Muslim until almost the end of […]
Drive-by Muthings – November 5th
• One of the big new sayings this year is “too big to fail.” But perhaps considering Obama’s lack of real world experience for the job of POTUS, the operative phrase now should be “too small to succeed.”
How Gov. Gibbons Can Get His Groove Back
So, is Gov. Jim Gibbons toast? In a general election held today….yeah. But in the Republican primary next June? Not so fast.
A Day in the Life of the Chosen One
What a day yesterday was for President Barack Obama!
Drive-By Muthings: October 7, 2009
“Lap dancers would be cited for lewd conduct for improperly touching customers under a new code proposed by Las Vegas police,” the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported today. Hmm. No one forces these gals to work there, and no one forces customers to go there. So if police have enough money to crackdown on such consensual […]
Doubting John Ensign
Does anyone doubt that the Sen. John Ensign scandal – especially after the explosive new and sordid details emerged this week in the New York Times about ethical, if not illegal, actions on the part of John Ensign after the affair with his best friend’s wife was discovered – is now in Eveready Bunny mode […]
A Code of Conduct for Health Insurance Companies
In the never-ending debate about national health care, the most common refrain is “our health care system is broken.” That is immediately followed by never-ending government solutions to “fix” said system at an estimated cost of trillions of dollars. Rarely mentioned in these expensive, government-knows-best debates, however, is any discussion of free-market, non-legislative solutions to […]
Johnny Casino and the Eveready Bunny
Does anyone doubt that the Sen. John Ensign scandal – especially after the explosive new and sordid details emerged this week in the New York Times about ethical, if not illegal, actions on the part of John Ensign after the affair with his best friend’s wife was discovered – is now in Eveready Bunny mode […]
