New Year’s Resolution: Make the Badlands Nightmare Go Away
(Chuck Muth) – The most under-reported aspect of the seemingly never-ending Battle of the Badlands – pitting home-owners of the gated luxury Queensridge community in northwest Las Vegas vs. the City of Las Vegas over the fate of a long-closed golf course – is the financial risk to ALL taxpayers of Las Vegas should the […]
Pre-Primary Primary Gets off with a BANG!
Nevada’s pre-primary primary – otherwise known as the “money chase” – began today with candidates for various legislative seats announcing their 2019 fundraising totals. And, WOW, did my friend Andy Matthews blow the roof off! Andy is running for Assembly District 37 in Clark County. The seat had been held by Republicans until 2018, […]
Well, THIS is Certainly Embarrassing
The Nevada Republican Assembly Caucus is now controlled by a group of RINOs (Republicans in Name Only) and run by a band of incompetent political operatives who just smashed their own thumb with a hammer. Assembly District 31 in Reno is the only seat with a Republican majority and a Democrat incumbent. The seat was […]
Speak Loudly & Carry a Big Rocket
The U.S. embassy in Iraq was attacked a week ago by a mob of terrorists supported by Iran. President Trump then tweeted… “Iran will be held fully responsible for lives lost, or damage incurred, at any of our facilities. They will pay a very BIG PRICE! This is not a Warning, it is a Threat.” […]
More About “The Ogre of the Badlands”
(Chuck Muth) – As noted in a recent Muth’s Truths column, the torch-and-pitchfork blood feud between the City of Las Vegas and a group of home owners in the tony gated community of Queensridge is being stoked constantly by a high-powered local attorney/ogre named Frank Schreck, a.k.a., “Shrek” for short. Although well-known by political insiders […]
California Scam Alert for Republicans
A California Republican, Oman Navarro, who ran against Rep. “Mad” Maxine Waters the last two election cycles and got trounced both times, nevertheless has been very successful at getting media attention and raising money online all across the country from unsuspecting donors to his lost cause. And he’s been running against her again for 2020. […]
Culinary Union Takes One in the Shorts
There were two seats open on the Las Vegas Stadium Authority board this week. The Clark County Commission had three choices… Reappoint Jan Jones, former Las Vegas Mayor and board member of Caesars Entertainment, one of the largest gaming companies on the planet… Reappoint Tommy White, head of the Laborer’s Union, which was as responsible […]
Gunning for the “Hooker Heels” Judge
When I saw the headline this week that a pair of Las Vegas judges were being brought up on charges for posing a “threat of serious harm” due to “numerous allegations of judicial misconduct,” I took the headline seriously. Then I read the article. It turns out the judges, Amy Chelini and Melanie Andress-Tobiasson, pose […]
Gunning for Fiore
When you’re an outspoken, unapologetic Republican, expect the media to come after you with guns a’blazin’ no matter how thin the “evidence” is against you. Just ask President Donald Trump. Or Las Vegas City Councilwoman Michele Fiore. Exhibit #1: Headline in today’s Las Vegas Review-Journal… “Fiore tied to report alleging domestic terrorism by Washington lawmaker” […]
Every Swamp Needs an Ogre; Meet the Badlands’ “Schreck”
(Chuck Muth) – Back in October I wrote a detailed explanation of the ongoing brouhaha and bitter feud over development of the now-defunct Badlands golf course adjacent to a luxury gated community in northwest Las Vegas. In the column I noted that the “Queensridge Quagmire” – if it continues on the current path – […]
Important Update for Dennis Hof Supporters
(Chuck Muth) – It’s been just over a year since our friend Dennis Hof won his race for Nevada State Assembly even though he passed away three weeks before Election Day. But his legacy lives on. A pair of updates for you… 1.) Two young women who formerly worked for Dennis dipped their toes in […]
We Have Met the Enemy: The Nevada Assembly GOP Caucus
Attention Nevada Conservatives: Believe it or not, the majority of Republicans in the Nevada Assembly Republican Caucus are as big a threat to limited-government and lower taxation as the Democrats. Get this… Tax-hiking RINO Assemblyman John Hambrick – who, as Speaker of the Assembly, sold us out by leading the fight for the largest tax […]
Wipe Out of British Liberals, Glimpse of the Future
Conservatives in Merry ol’ England enjoyed a smashing victory at the polls yesterday, “wiping out Labour strongholds that have stood across Britain since the 1930s, securing as many as 368 seats and giving (Boris) Johnson a majority in the House of Commons of around 76 seats.” Take a look at these headlines… Boris Johnson Secures […]
A Daughter’s Disease, A Father’s Pride
I don’t “do” Facebook. I occasionally post my columns on the platform but don’t spend time perusing it. If I did, I’d never get any work done! So I missed a post by my favorite first daughter, Kristen, which she put up a month ago on National Diabetes Awareness Day. My brother in South Carolina […]
Optometrists are Seeing Red, So Congress is Seeing Green
(Chuck Muth) – Watch out, contact lens and eye-glass wearers, Congress is seeing green – campaign cash green – and is looking to rob you blind at the checkout stand. Sadly, it appears some GOP members are itching to join the shakedown. At issue are archaic laws – passed before Al Gore invented the Internet […]
The Trouble with Judges and Judging Them: Part V
Wrapping up my critique of the fatally flawed “Judging the Judges” series, let’s now turn our attention to the anonymous “jury” of lawyers that voted in the anonymous email survey conducted by a liberal feminist political activist/university professor. I’ve already noted in previous columns how polluted this jury pool is. We have no idea what […]
The Trouble with Judges and Judging Them: Part IV
As noted in Part III of this series, the Las Vegas Review-Journal’s terribly flawed “Judging the Judges” project, unfortunately, was not conducted by the RJ or its reporters. It was actually produced by the Women’s Research Institute of Nevada, whose stated mission on its website “is to understand and improve the lives of women and […]
