(“Mt. Reagan,” Nevada)– Today, on the 102nd anniversary of President Ronald Reagan’s birth, Citizen Outreach formally submitted an application proposal to the Nevada Board of Geographic Names to officially designate the 4,052-foot summit at the top of Frenchman Mountain – located between the Las Vegas valley to the west and the Lake Mead National Recreation area to the east – as “Mount Reagan.” “Naming a mountain after Ronald Reagan seems entirely appropriate as his life’s [...]
(Danny Tarkanian) – One of the most critical issues dividing our country today is how to handle the millions of individuals residing in our country who entered illegally. Although everyone agrees an immediate solution is necessary, politicians from both parties have refused to have meaningful dialogue. Many Republicans are afraid that if they make certain concessions they could lose their base of voters; while many Democrats privately hope this issue remains unresolved so that they [...]

(Thomas Mitchell/4TH ST8) It should come as no surprise to anyone in Nevada who was followed the news in 2012 that Harry Reid was named by Judicial Watch, a public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, to its 2012 list of Washington’s “Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians.” The group lists the top 10 alphabetically so there is no way to tell if Harry was No. 1 or No. 10. Here is what Judicial [...]
On December 14, 2012, a gunman entered a public school in Newtown, Connecticut, opened fire, and killed six adults and twenty little children. In the interest of the children’s “safety,” the school was a well-known gun-free zone. None of the adults, survivors or slain, were armed with the ability to shoot back to defend themselves, their colleagues or those innocent children. As such, all were proverbial lambs to slaughter. Makes my blood boil. Coincidentally, it [...]
(Cindy Lake) – In response to the announcement that Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval has decided to propose expanding Medicaid in the state – a decision enthusiastically praised by Democrat U.S. Sen. Harry Reid, but rejected by other Republican governors around the country – I can only say that I respectfully disagree. As our official Republican Party platform states, “We believe that any government control, regulation and/or intervention in health care will diminish quality and availability, [...]
(Assemblyman Jim Wheeler) – There seems to be a lot of hoopla over the “Dream-act-light” issuance of driver’s licenses to illegal aliens. On the one hand, people are saying we are disenfranchising a section of our population by not issuing this privilege to people, who through no fault of their own, are in this country in contravention of our laws. I have to admit, I do feel for these people. They came here as infants [...]
NN&V Exclusive (R. M. Smith) – What is potentially the most significant foreign and domestic policy initiative of the Obama Administration? The Trans-Pacific Partnership. The what? It is worth understanding just what this agreement is, and why it matters. To that end, I do apologize for the length, but I knew no other way to shorten it without leaving something vital out. It is hard to know what is exactly in the TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership). You [...]
(Thomas Mitchell/4TH ST8) Egypt’s President Mohamed Morsi effectively pulled off a one-man coup this week, declaring his edicts cannot be challenged by the courts or the legislature. Critics called his decree an “unprecedented attack” on the judiciary and ”fascist and despotic.” People took to the streets in protest and editorials around the world condemned his action. Obama’s State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland warned, “One of the aspirations of the revolution was to ensure that power would not be overly [...]
(Thomas Mitchell/4TH ST8) After the Los Angeles City Council this week approved a 25-year contract between the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and K Road Moapa Solar, which is building solar panels on Moapa Band of Paiute Indians tribal land north of Las Vegas, Sen. Harry Reid issued a gushing press release about the deal. “I am pleased that the City of Los Angeles took action to secure a clean energy future by using affordable and predictably [...]
