The Nevada GOP’s Two-Car Funeral
In yesterday’s Muth’s Truths I shared an email from a longtime friend who’s been extremely active in Washoe GOP politics about the recent election of Mike Kadenacy as chairman of the Washoe County Republican Central Committee… “We had 9 more people vote in the election than the final credentials report. When some challenged it, they […]
Poop-Flinging at the Nevada GOP Zoo
Well, we made it safely to the Tahoe Valley RV Resort in South Lake Tahoe yesterday afternoon and set up base camp for the next two weeks. For some reason we’re getting a lot of people walking by our campsite and giving us a thumb’s up. I wonder what that’s all about? Meanwhile, let’s check […]
The New Phone Book’s Here! The New Phone Book’s Here!
I’m writing this morning from beautiful downtown Tonopah, Nevada where we laid up last night on our way to Lake Tahoe for the family’s annual two-week working/camping vacation. We stopped here last night for two really cool reasons… 1.) We got to have dinner with Joni Eastley – one of the absolutely best people I’ve […]
Lisa Sutton Signs Taxpayer Protection Pledge
Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting Lisa Sutton, Republican candidate for Nevada’s 4th Congressional District, and witnessing her signature on the Taxpayer Protection Pledge. Bravo! Here are some photos from the Pledge-signing… I found Lisa, the owner of multiple small businesses, to be an extremely impressive individual: young, intelligent, well-spoken, high-energy. Oh, and conservative. […]
Confusion Reigns over Hidden NRCC Membership List
In response to my column yesterday about the Nevada Republican Central Committee (NRCC) keeping its membership list hidden from the public, I received this email from longtime GOP activist/member Rob Tyree… “Any member of the committee can request a list of the other members, including Dave McKeon or Annie Black. They have just as much […]
Dear NRCC Members: Come Out, Come Out, Wherever You Are!
(Chuck Muth) – OK, I’ve REALLY tried to stay out of the brouhaha over next month’s election of new officers for the Nevada Republican Central Committee (NRCC). Then one of the candidates for chairman, Dave McKeon, decided – in all his overwhelming brilliance – that letting a sleeping dog lie was a dumb strategy. […]
Dave McKeon: “Hey, Is that Pandora’s Box? Let’s Open It!”
(Chuck Muth) – Godfather I & II are two of my favorite movies. Godfather III? Terrible. But there was one particularly memorable scene. Michael Corleone had been trying to retire from the “business.” But then circumstances changed. Leading Michael, played by Al Pacino, to utter this now infamous line… “Just when I thought I was […]

Susie Lee’s “Squad” Strikes Again
(L-R: Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Susie Lee, Ilhan Omar and & Ayanna Pressley) (Chuck Muth) – Some of Rep. Susie Lee’s (D-NV) fellow freshman House Democrats – “The Squad” – are so far out in left field they may as well be selling hot dogs in the upper deck. A sampling just from recent […]
UPDATE: Battle Born Battlefield 2020
Just got back from a 10-day road trip – including this past weekend in McAllen, Texas where Chris Godbey of the Leadership Institute and I conducted a campaign training seminar for local conservative candidates and activists. Received the following email this morning from Gary Sollner, one of Saturday’s attendees… “I enjoyed it immensely! Your presentation […]
The Comical Return of Li’l Nate
Political gadflies, like bad pennies, keep turning up. The latest… A little dweeb named Nathan Taylor says he’s running against Nevada State Sen. Pete Goicoechea in the GOP primary next year for District 19. Fool’s errand. By a certifiable fool. But in case Li’l Nate’s name doesn’t ring a bell, here’s a refresher course from […]
How to Fight Liberal Social Media Bias without Crippling the First Amendment
(Chuck Muth) – U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) has proposed a bill titled, “Ending Support for Internet Censorship Act.” It essentially makes a law forcing private social media companies to be “politically neutral.” Fighting for free speech by blocking the free speech of those blocking free speech? I must confess, I’m confused. OK, I get […]
UPDATE: Battle Born Battlefield 2020
Announcements, rumors, gossip and word on the street about the 2020 campaigns in Nevada… Congressional District 2: Some folks in DC are mulling a primary challenge to Republican Rep. Mark Amodei, arguing that he’s not as conservative as he could be in this GOP-majority district. Um, hello? Mark’s the ONLY Republican left in Nevada’s congressional […]
How to Resolve the Yucca Mountain Fight Once and for All
(Chuck Muth) – The Las Vegas Review-Journal published another front-page article on the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository issue on Monday. But nothing’s changed. The same hypocritical NIMBY (not in my back yard) arguments remain. So how do we resolve this stalemate? The first question that needs to be answered by Congress: Do we really […]
Case Study: Epic Fail in North Las Vegas Council Race
(Chuck Muth) – On Wednesday morning I wrote a post-election column in which I referenced the North Las Vegas City Council Ward 4 race where the Republican candidate was crushed by the Democrat candidate, 60-40%. In it I noted that the “local GOP organization did virtually nothing to assist their Republican candidate (Pete Shields) – […]
Some Post-Election Observations
(Chuck Muth) – Some interesting results from yesterday’s municipal elections in southern Nevada. First, congratulations to Victoria Seaman on winning the Las Vegas City Council Ward 2 special election. (Disclaimer: I was an adviser on the campaign) Victoria got in the race early, ran hard and never stopped…especially after a hapless GOP state senate candidate, […]
The Conservative Battlefield for Nevada’s 2020 Elections
In response to my “Mad Cow Republicans” column on Monday, several conservatives emailed asking for a more detailed “lay of the land” for the 2020 election cycle. Since there’s no time to waste, let’s get to it. Our first priority is to change Nevada from “blue” (Democrat) to “red” (Republican) in the presidential race. Thanks […]
