The Nevada Liberal Who Cries Wolf Has Finally Actually Found One
Nevada State Senator Yvanna Cancela (D-Culinary Union) is about as liberal as they come. She also suffers from an advanced case of incurable Trump Derangement Syndrome. As such, every time she cries “Wolf!” on just about any issue, conservatives immediately greet her clarion call with deep, understandable skepticism. But in line with the observation that […]
Are Drug Companies Giving Us the Straight Dope on High Drug Prices?
(Chuck Muth) – President Trump, Congress and state legislatures across the country have been talking about the often ridiculously high cost of prescription drugs in the United States and what to do about them. And while far too many people aren’t paying attention to this situation because their out-of-pocket liability is limited to paying a […]
A Conservative Republican Case for Repealing and Replacing Dean Heller
As a conservative Republican, if the election were held today I’d “pull a Heller” and not vote for Dean Heller for U.S. Senate. I’d vote for the IAP’s Kamau Bakari. Lucky for Heller, he’s still got four months to change my mind. Not likely though. The only arguments for voting for “DC Dean” are that […]
Nevada Assembly Republicans Prepare to Re-Enact Custer’s Last Stand
If you’re looking for a silver lining for conservative Republicans in the upcoming general election, don’t waste your time with Assembly Republicans. These people could screw up a two-car funeral – and regularly do. Republicans are currently on the short end of a 27-15 split. Which means they’re just one seat away from ending up […]
Dark Clouds Gathering over Nevada State Senate Republicans
Now that the dust has settled from the June 12 primaries, let’s take a sobering look at the prospects for Republicans in the Nevada State Senate. And it ain’t pretty. Currently the Democrats enjoy a 12-9 advantage. Republicans will hold SD-12 (Joe Hardy), SD-14 (Ira Hansen to replace Don Gustavson), SD-16 (Ben Kieckhefer) and […]
Hof Throws Brick through Wheeler’s Glass House that Slavery Built
There’s an old saying that it’s better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than open it and remove all doubt. But Nevada Republican Assembly Minority Leader Jim Wheeler and several other Republicans in his caucus apparently have never heard that old saying. As regular readers know, I’m a paid communications and […]
Nevada Primary Wrap-up & Observations
Oh, what a night! In what Las Vegas Review-Journal reporter Ramona Giwargis described as “perhaps the biggest upset of the night,” my man Dennis Hof SMOKED tax-hiking RINO Assemblyman James “The Big Selloutski” Oscarson in the Assembly District 36 GOP primary race. Click here to read the best story on the election victory by […]
It’s Time to “Uberize” Public Education’s Failure Factories
Public education isn’t broke. It’s broken. If you think paying teachers more money is all we need to fix our “failure factories,” otherwise known as our government-owned/union-managed public schools, go ahead and stop reading right now. Because while the recent temper-tantrum teacher strikes in Oklahoma, Arizona and West Virginia may have successfully extorted across-the-board higher […]
No-Brainer: McCarthy Gets Endorsement over Tax-Hiker’s Kin
Assemblywoman Melissa Woodbury has the absolute WORST liberal voting record of any Republican legislator in all of Clark County – including her vote for the largest tax hike in Nevada history which included the hated, job-killing, anti-business “Commerce Tax.” Her three legislative vote ratings from Citizen Outreach were 43 percent, 49 percent and 49 percent. […]
A Conservative Look at Nevada GOP Primary Races
I don’t like early voting. Early voting is a decided advantage for incumbents and “establishment” candidates with lots of special interest dough in their pockets and purses. But since half of you are likely to vote early and have asked, here are some early observations for conservative voters in some GOP primary races… U.S. Senate: […]
Richard is Right: It’s the Primaries, Stupid!
In his 2014 best-selling book “Takeover,” my friend and conservative icon Richard Viguerie has a chapter titled, “It’s the Primaries, Stupid!” And he is so “right”! As Viguerie notes, the problem for conservatives isn’t so much Democrats and liberals as it is “progressive, Big Government Republicans.” And he is so “right.” “Far from shrinking government, […]
It’s Time for a Truth-in-Labeling Law for Political Candidates!
So, there was a candidate forum in Las Vegas Tuesday night. Three candidates showed up. And according to Las Vegas Review-Journal reporter Ramona Giwargis, here’s how attendee Cheryl Rosensweig characterized the presentations… “They all said the same thing. It was hard to distinguish between them, and I’m not really sure what the difference is.” Now […]
Why You Should Doubt the “No on 3” Campaign Against Question 3
Question 3 on Nevada’s ballot this November asks citizens if they want greater consumer choice in who they buy their electricity from. For an example of what this might look like if passed and implemented, go to www.choosetexaspower.org and type in zip code 77001 (or any other zip code in Texas). The initiative passed overwhelmingly […]
Join Us for a “Mass” Tax Pledge Signing Event with Grover Norquist!
As pretty much everybody who reads Nevada News & Views and Muths’ Truths regularly knows, my friend and conservative ally Grover Norquist of Americans for Tax Reform is the “father” of the Taxpayer Protection Pledge whereby candidates running for office promise voters they will “oppose and vote against any and all efforts to increase taxes.” […]
Three Entries for the Stuck on Stupid Parade
Dan Schwartz: Stuck on Stupid I It’s really proving increasingly difficult to explain just how ridiculous the gubernatorial campaign of Nevada State Treasurer Dan Schwartz is. There just aren’t enough adjectives in my Thesaurus. The CLOSEST poll in his doomed challenge to Attorney General Adam Laxalt for the GOP nomination has him down 55-4 percent. […]
Nevada’s Senate District 8 is a Political Royal Rumble!
The Nevada State Senate District 8 race in Las Vegas has shaped up to be a LOT more interesting than I realized. Get a load of this… The seat is currently held by Sen. Patty Farley, who ran and was elected as a Republican but then switched parties mid-term and caucused with the Democrats. […]
Captain Underpants Comes to the Rescue of Damsels Who are Not in Distress
Jason Guinasso recently inked perhaps the most Self-righteous, Asinine and Dishonest (acronym, SAD) column I’ve ever read in Nevada – and that’s saying something considering how we’ve been infested by the bleatings of liberal blogger Jon Ralston for over 30 years now. Guinasso is heading up a reported effort to outlaw legal brothels in Lyon […]
