The Weasel Finally Wakes Up
(Chuck Muth) – Nevada Assemblyman Chris “The Weasel” Edwards – facing a serious GOP primary challenge from my friend and Mesquite City Councilwoman Annie Black – appears to be feeling the heat and has woken up from his slumber. Black has been blistering Gov. Steve Sisolak’s shutdown orders for the last two weeks, as well […]
Fake News Weenies Run for the Hills
Las Vegas Review-Journal columnist Debra Saunders – who you may have seen asking questions during recent White House briefings on the Wu-Flu – notes that both the Washington Post and New York Times, charter members of the Fake News Media, no longer send its reporters to the daily briefings. “How low the titans of journalism […]
Thank You, Mr. Adelson!
(Chuck Muth) – The left and some in the media constantly demonize Sheldon Adelson, owner of the Venetian and Palazzo resorts, for supporting conservatives and the GOP. But while “Democrat” casino operations such as MGM Grand and Caesars are laying off tens of thousands of workers and forcing them into the unemployment line, Mr. Adelson […]
Trump vs. Sisolak
When President Trump suggested that anti-malaria drugs hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine *might* be effective in treating the Wuhan virus, the media and Trump-hating Democrats scoffed. Including Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak who banned doctors from prescribing it. They accused Trump of “raising false hopes in the American public.” Blamed him when an Arizona man died after eating […]
Some Simple, Helpful Tips for Suddenly-Homeschooling Newbies
For better or worse, like it or not…we’re all homeschoolers now. As a veteran homeschooler (to be fair and accurate, my wife, Gia, has been our primary homeschool teacher; and she’s been GREAT), here’s a little advice: Don’t panic. Don’t stress. Don’t worry about following a rigid curriculum. Don’t worry about “teaching to the test.” […]
Seen & Heard on the #SisolakShutdown
At the risk of brining partisanship into the crisis, got this from a friend this morning… “The Chinese virus is trying to turn me into a Democrat. It’s got me staying at home, not working, complaining about everything and waiting on my stimulus check.” Bazinga! Here We Go Again; Another Sisolak Shutdown Reversal Reporter Riley […]
Seen and Heard on the Sisolak Shutdown Front
From my friend Rich Galen at Mullings.com… “3.28 million Americans filed for unemployment insurance for the week ending March 21. Donald Trump is correct. The U.S. economy has stopped cold, like a pickup run out of gas on a farm-to-market road in rural Texas. Goin’ nowhere.” “Those 3.28 million people who filed for unemployment insurance […]
Um, About that Mail-In Election Decision…
For the last few days, Democrats in Washington, DC held up a relief bill over a laundry list of liberal policy goals having absolutely nothing to do with the ongoing Chinese coronavirus crisis, including… “The election law changes Democrats are demanding,” writes Richard Viguerie at ConservativeHQ, “are a death sentence for Republican election prospects, the […]
Sisolak Confers Upon Self One-Man Death Panel Authority
Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak conducted another doom-and-gloom Facebook press conference yesterday and the absurdity of his authoritarian directives continues to mount. The latest outrage is the governor’s universal order BANNING doctors from prescribing an anti-malarial drug to treat patients who have contracted the Chinese coronavirus. “This emergency regulation protects Nevadans who needs these drugs for […]
Mini-Martial Law in Nevada Just Got a New General
Gov. Steve Sisolak’s mini-martial law declaration in Nevada took another bizarre twist yesterday – again without a peep of opposition from GOP legislators. First, he added liquor stores to the ever-changing list of “non-essential” businesses and ordered them closed. And again, this makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Why can grocery stores continue to operate and […]
China Virus Thoughts & Observations You Won’t Find on CNN
In light of government-imposed lockdowns being implemented in Nevada and across the country to combat the China Virus, here are some thoughts and observations you won’t see or hear on CNN, Ralston Reports, and other “fake news” outlets… • “We absolutely must, must, resist government run amok taking advantage of a crisis. This is how […]
Welcome to Mini-Martial Law in Nevada
As I watched Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak’s press conference Tuesday night, fear gripped me for the first time. Not of the China Virus. Of the Big Brother Virus. Make no mistake. Gov. Sisolak’s declaration locking down Nevada and shuttering “non-essential” businesses was a mini-declaration of martial law – but without the military (for now). The […]
Some Drive-By Muthings for a Saturday Morning
* Shaun Tandon of AFP.com notes that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo “has taken to calling the #coronavirus the ‘Wuhan virus’ – a term that China isn’t happy about.” Meanwhile, in light of the ongoing media hysteria over the Wuhan virus, Seth Godin writes… “In addition to being a vector for disease transmission, handshakes reward […]
The Further Mis-Adventures of Lyin’ Lynam
The Nevada real estate industry got screwed, blued and tattooed in the 2019 legislative session. So badly that the Nevada Association of Realtors, as Riley Snider reported in January, “contributed an unprecedented $2 million to political action committees designed to recruit real estate agents and back supportive candidates in state legislative races” for 2020. And […]
Vegas “Resort Fees” Killing the Golden Goose
What’s wrong with this picture? The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported today that Caesars Entertainment Group is raising its mandatory “resort fees” – covering things like wi-fi and use of the pool – to $37/night. With tax that comes to $42. I checked Expedia today and found that a room at the Flamingo Hilton – part […]
Sam Peters Launches Holy War in CD4
(Chuck Muth) – According to the Nevada Secretary of State’s website, Nevada’s 4th Congressional District, as of the end of January, has 37,042 more active registered Democrat voters than Republicans. That’s a huge advantage. As such, the only way for the GOP to win this seat back from incumbent Rep. “DC Steve” Horsford (Socialist-NV) is […]
