The Absolutely Last Two People to Listen to about Education Reform
There are few “absolutes” in life, but let me give you two: (1) Nevada’s public education system overall absolutely sucks. (2) The absolutely last person in Nevada you want to listen to on how to fix it is Chris Giunchigliani. “Chris G” is a left-wing Clark County commissioner and former state legislator who is currently […]
Is It Time for Nevada to Start Deporting…Californians?
As the story goes, there once was an entrepreneur in California – over 20 years ago – who wanted to build a new research, testing and manufacturing facility for his nutritional supplements company. Frustrated by the mountains of paperwork and bureaucratic red tape required to get permits in the Land of Fruits and Nuts, our […]
The Untold “Other Side” of Judge Scotti’s Controversial Decisions
In reading the unending avalanche of negative publicity and universal condemnation of Clark County District Court Judge Richard Scotti’s decision on blocking the release of those Mandalay Bay shooting autopsy reports, a nagging question keeps coming to mind: What’s the other side of the story? There’s got to be two side to the story, right? […]
Dan Schwartz “Frags” Himself with His Own Mouth
It never ceases to amaze me how low desperate candidates will go in attacking their opponents. But the slimeball Republican gubernatorial candidate Dan Schwartz reportedly tossed at fellow Republican gubernatorial candidate Adam Laxalt this week is beyond being beyond the pale and should disqualify him from consideration for so much as dog catcher. Meet Ken […]
Seaman Attacks Opponent over Helping Armless/Legless Child (Yes, You Read that Right)
I’ll get to Jermel Smith in a minute, but first… Republican candidate Victoria Seaman’s abrasive, belligerent, often obnoxious, split-personality is becoming a major issue in her race for Nevada’s 3rd congressional district, calling into question whether she has the temperament to be an effective elected representative. Yes, she does have a sugar-and-spice side in public. […]
Before Burning Steve Wynn at the Stake, Consider This…
When it comes to this Steve Wynn kerfuffle, as comedienne Joan Rivers was wont to say, “Can we talk?” First, I’ve only spoken with Steve Wynn on the phone once. It was in the spring of 2009 after his attorney threatened to sue me over a column I’d written in which I used a quote […]
If Google and Facebook Ain’t Broke, Government Shouldn’t Fix Them
Victor Davis Hanson is an absolutely brilliant, informative and entertaining conservative columnist who I’ve enjoyed reading for years now. So it gives me no joy to find a rare issue of disagreement between the two of us. “Twenty years ago, no one had heard of either Facebook or Google, neither of which existed yet,” Mr. […]
Will GOP Ever Learn to Take the Black Vote Seriously?
(Chuck Muth) – Who lost the Alabama U.S. Senate seat for Republicans? That’s a long list. Start with a deeply flawed and controversial nominee, former Supreme Court Judge Roy Moore, who ran a less-than-scintillating campaign that badly handled 40-year-old, unsubstantiated allegations of sexual misconduct. And there’s Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell who went the extra […]
Don’t Look Now, but Trump’s Starting to Win Hearts & Minds
I didn’t like wine the first time I tried it. Of course, I was a teenager and it was Boone’s Farm so that certainly had something to do with it. But now I can’t imagine enjoying a good steak without a nice glass of red wine to accompany it. It was an “acquired taste.” I […]
“Bombshell” Vote Fraud Complaint Turns Out to be a Dud
Vote fraud is real. Conservatives are right in trying to expose it and stop it. But it does their cause no good to make wild “bombshell” accusations on the Internet, talk radio and social media that spread like a Nigerian bank scam without proof or back-up. It simply undermines their argument and makes conservatives look […]
Why I Can’t Support Victoria Seaman for Congress
(Chuck Muth) – I have this bad habit of initially taking people at their word when they run for office. But once I catch you lying and breaking my trust, you’re dead to me. This is the lesson conservatives learned the hard way when we bought Gov. Brian Sandoval’s snake oil campaign claims that he […]
Is It Possible to Make the Sherman Act Interesting? Here, Let Me Give It a Shot…
How many times has this happened to you? Your sitting around the dinner table and one of your kids asks, “So what do you think about the consumer welfare standard as applied to anti-trust enforcement of the Sherman Act?” Boy, if I had a dollar for every time that’s come up at our house I’d […]
Three Dangerous Potential Side Effects of Sexcapades Inquisition
It goes without saying that Rep. Ruben Kihuen (D-NV) and other Members of Congress are where they are today politically thanks in large part to Hillary Clinton’s husband, the Oval Office desk, an intern, a cigar and a certain blue-stained dress. Ick. That infamous ending began with a string of multiple allegations of sexual misconduct […]
Jihadi Jon Tells Another Whopper
Liberal blogger/gossip columnist “Jihadi Jon” Ralston is at it again. Todd Gillman, Washington Bureau Chief for the Dallas News, whined in a tweet yesterday that “A deputy White House press secretary, whose taxpayer-funded job literally is to interact with the news media, declined to take questions on the record during today’s Air Force One […]
In Defense of Ruben Kihuen? Yes…
I almost can’t believe I’m writing this, however… Make no mistake. Rep. Ruben Kihuen (D-NV) is the very definition of “empty suit.” He got where he is in Congress today with good looks, Hispanic heritage and the blessing of Harry Reid, the Democrat Party’s godfather. He has zero legislative achievements that are his own, […]
The Ralston Resolution: Fighting Back Against Fake News in Nevada
For more than twenty years now, liberal blogger/gossip columnist “Jihadi Jon” Ralston has been colluding with Democrats in Nevada and has served as their unofficial press secretary/communications director. Here are just two recent examples… “Jihadi Jon” Ralston Pulls another Blogger Boner in Anti-Laxalt Crusade Nevada’s “Jihadi Jon” Strikes Again! And here’s what this self-professed “journalist” […]
The Cult of Ralston: Mark Halperin’s Mini-Me in Nevada
Mark Halperin is not a household name unless you’re an “insider” dwelling in the DC Swamp. For those who have a life, Halperin is a former political analyst for MSNBC – which canned him in October after “at least a dozen” women accused him of workplace sexual misconduct. Eve Fairbanks is not one of the […]
