The 2009 Top 10 Conservatives in Nevada »
(Chuck Muth) – OK, before getting to my list of the Top 10 Nevada conservatives for 2009, our friend Dave Berns, former host of KNPR’s “State of Nevada” radio program, raised the point about what exactly I consider to be the definition of a conservative.
Good point. And to answer that question, I give you former Reagan press secretary Lyn Nofziger who shared his definition of the term several years ago before he [...]
On Terrorism it’s Time to Know, to Profile, and to Discriminate »
(Newt Gingrich) – After the Christmas Day near disaster in Detroit, it is time for Americans to demand effective anti-terrorist actions.
Over eight years after 9/11 and 30 years after the Iranian illegal seizure of the United States embassy and the 444 day Iranian hostage crisis, Washington is still avoiding being intellectually honest about the war we are in.
Our Politically Correct Government is Making Life More Miserable For the Innocent
America is long overdue for a serious [...]
DeMint Decries Union Obstruction in TSA »
(Warner Todd Huston) – The Democrats are trying to paint the GOP as “obstructionists” for blocking the appointment of Obama’s choice of Erroll Southers to head up the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Democrats are claiming that by blocking the closure of debate on Southers the GOP is trying to obstruct “tighter security at airports.”
But there is an ulterior motive in play for the Democrats, naturally. And, again naturally, it is an effort by Democrats to [...]
Gibbons Says Nevada Airports Safe, Criticizes Obama’s Handling of Terrorist Attack »
(Sean Whaley/Nevada News Bureau) – Gov. Jim Gibbons said air travelers should feel safe passing through Nevada’s two major airports despite last week’s attempted terrorist attack at Detroit, but he also strongly criticized the Obama Administration for failing to take proper actions to head off the failed attempt to blow up an airplane.
He also called on the administration’s Homeland Security Chief, Janet Napolitano, to resign.
Gibbons made his comments during a tour of the Reno-Tahoe International [...]

In Defense of Dawn Gibbons »
Robert Olmer’s comment that “the lack of a First Lady won’t be an issue”, and that “essentially, any First Lady is to a large extent window dressing, just showing up for public events”, is demeaning, sexist, and incredibly disrespectful.
Harry Reid’s Health Care Sitcom »
(Paul Jacob) – The funniest show on TV? Health care reform. It’s a laugh a minute.
More awkward pauses than The Office. The melodramatic back-stabbing that makes Desperate Housewives amusing. Plus, nearly as much deliberation as Wife Swap.
Boy, do we have great politicians. For Christmas they got us much better medical care and at lower cost. But wait, the federal deficit gets reduced in the process. They just vote it into being. Shazam!
How [...]
Santa Delivers New Rec Room for Troops in Yerington »
(Sean Whaley/Nevada News Bureau) – When the 80 members of Yerington’s L Troop of the 1st Squadron 221st Cavalry return from their one-year mission to Afghanistan in April, they will have a surprise waiting for them in addition to what will undoubtedly be a joyous homecoming with family and friends.
Having heard that the furniture in the troop’s Yerington recreation room dated from the 1970s and was described as “early American basement,” a group called 1st [...]
Harry Reid’s Power »
(Sue Lowden) – Harry Reid has sold out to the liberal special interests and used pork projects to buy the votes of Democrat Senators with our tax dollars. He’s spent millions of campaign dollars claiming to be the most powerful U.S. Senator in our state’s history. But he’s used that power to make taxpayers pay for abortions, raise the cost of health care, and dramatically increase our national debt.
Harry Reid knows I’m the proven [...]
Sandoval Campaign Right on Track »
(Brian Sandoval) – I have a couple of great updates to share with you today as we close out 2009.
In the nearly three-and-a-half months since we launched our grassroots campaign we’ve already gained a lot of momentum. In particular, December has been a great month for our campaign.
In the first week of the month, the Las Vegas Review-Journal released a poll showing our campaign holding strong double-digit leads over our primary (39%-19%) and [...]
