Republican Congress Opens New Assault on States’ Rights Yeah, yeah, I know. People have rights, not states. But in case there’s any confusion about what we’re talking about here, I’ll let Ronald Reagan, from a 1980 speech, explain it… “I still believe the answer to any problem lies with the people. I believe in states’ […]

OK, so my weekend birthday camping trip with the family didn’t exactly turn out as expected. I woke up last Wednesday (my actual birthday) with some kind of computer problem that tied me up all morning and most of the afternoon. With the problem still unresolved by the tech guys, Gia and I loaded up […]

Two Ways Legislature Can Cleanse the Stench from Local Political Juice By Chuck Muth April 6, 2017 OK, so the city of Las Vegas wanted to jump on the “single-stream” recycling bandwagon. As such, its current trash hauler, Republic Services, asked for a 12-year extension on its monopoly franchise contract, which doesn’t expire for another […]

Thank you, Harry Reid! If not for Reid deploying the “nuclear option” over judicial nominations during the Obama years, highly-qualified constitutionalist Neil Gorsuch wouldn’t be going onto the U.S. Supreme Court this week. Talk about being hoisted on your own petard! And let’s give Hillary Clinton an “assist” for being gracious enough to run one of […]

So President Donald Trump and U.S. Sen. Rand Paul – vicious opponents during the 2016 GOP presidential primary – went golfing together this weekend. I went golfing with Sen. Paul a couple years ago when he was here in Las Vegas for FreedomFest. Let’s just say he ain’t no hacker! Anyway, that Trump and Paul […]
Muth’s Truths: March 31, 2017
On one side of this ObamaCare issue are conservatives and conservative organizations such as the House Freedom Caucus and Club for Growth that opposed House Speaker Paul Ryan’s “ObamaCare Lite” version of repeal-and-replace, arguing, essentially, that it did neither. On the other hand, you have conservatives such as Grover Norquist of Americans for Tax Reform […]

I Love the Smell of Nuclear Waste in the Morning! Here are three realities as they relate to the Yucca Mountain Project… 1.) Nuclear waste – in the form of “pellets,” not green goo oozing from under the lids of steel canisters – is piling up at the nation’s nuclear reactors and has to go […]
Muth’s Truths: March 29, 2017
Among all the other lessons the political “experts” and conventional wisdom need to learn is that a successful businessman and serial entrepreneur isn’t the same as a community organizer. The old rules simply don’t apply – and that includes the definition of “failure.” Barack Obama was the textbook definition of failure. Everything he touched turned […]
Muth’s Truths: March 28, 2017
On the campaign trail, President Donald Trump once said U.S. airports “are like from a third-world country.” Privatization, including air traffic control, is a way to boost infrastructure spending to address that problem and provide a more efficient air transportation system. As Republicans continue their campaign to make America great again, they should consider getting […]
Muth’s Truths: March 25, 2017
Don’t…panic. The failure of the Republican-controlled House of Representatives to pass an ObamaCare repeal bill on Friday was not a failure of President Donald Trump. It was a failure of House Speaker Paul Ryan, a policy “wonk” who’s been working on this repeal effort for seven years now. Granted, it’s a tough balancing act. Just […]
Muth’s Truths: March 24, 2017
If congressional Republicans don’t get their $#!& together and pass something that repeals ObamaCare as promised, or at least starts us down the road toward repealing ObamaCare, make no mistake… We, the people, are gonna blame CONGRESSIONAL REPUBLICANS, not President Donald Trump. This will be a failure by the legislative GOP, not the White House. […]

Now here’s a pleasant surprise you don’t see every day… Long wait times in the doctor’s office is a burden most of us have simply learned to begrudgingly accept. And if you think the wait times are long now, wait until universal health care takes root if Republicans blow this last opportunity to kill ObamaCare […]
Muth’s Truths: March 22, 2017
Wait a minute… We have a government system in place called “e-Verify” that confirms whether or not someone is legally eligible to work in this country. So please explain why we don’t have a similar system to verify whether or not someone is legally eligible to VOTE in this country. What am I missing here? […]

Bravo, New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez! According to an Associated Press report on Sunday, Gov. Martinez “chided lawmakers for wasting time by approving tax increases and minimum wage increases that she does not support.” Martinez said she will refuse to sign the legislation. “I will never allow lawmakers to raise taxes on families in order […]

LAST CALL: FUNDRAISING TRAINING SEMINAR TONIGHT! OK, we made it to Carson City yesterday. During the 8-hour drive – with Gia behind the wheel – I finished up the PowerPoint presentation for tonight’s brand new, never-been-presented-before “High Dollar Donor” fundraising workshop. I am REALLY excited about this one. More so than any other training seminar […]
Muth’s Truths: March 14, 2017
What the Las Vegas Garbage Contract Has in Common with King Tut’s Tomb Things have certainly changed dramatically since 1973. Back in those days, trash collection and disposal was a very, very different animal with very, very different challenges and limitations. And this was well before the “green” movement and recycling took root. *Maybe* it […]

A very clever and humorous commentary on efforts to repeal and replace ObamaCare (author unknown)… Members of the medical community have weighed in on possible Republican health care reform proposals: The Allergists were in favor of scratching it, but the Dermatologists advised not to make any rash moves. The Gastroenterologists had sort of a gut […]
