Harry Reid Earns a Spot on List of Most Corrupt Politicians one hour payday loans »
(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 [...]
The Republican Party…Quo Vadis? one hour payday loans »
NN&V Exclusive (Stephen Allott) – Now that the dust has settled on the last election, maybe it is time for a little contemplative reflection. For sure, it was a terrific testament to our system that over 125 million votes were cast in the Presidential election. But a closer analysis suggests a more disturbing figure. Only 60% of those eligible to vote actually turned up at the polls. Over 80 million voters chose to sit out [...]
GNP Could Replace GOP one hour payday loans »
(Jim Clark) – Last month, I penned a column suggesting that if the GOP does not reach out more to minorities, particularly Latinos, the party may go the way of the Whigs for lack of relevancy. Bonanza readers followed up on that theme in letters to the editor. Self-admitted progressive Richard Steinberger wrote to suggest platform changes which would have the GOP mirror the Democratic Party. Donald Schreiber recommended that the GOP split in two: [...]
Is Obama Black Enough To Call Out Black Parents Like Cosby Did? one hour payday loans »
(Fred Weinberg/The Penny Press) – The fallout from the Connecticut school shooting and the ludicrous concept that reinstating the so-called assault weapons ban would stop future incidents has occupied this column for the past two weeks. As I said last week, I hate writing about the same thing two weeks in a row, but this subject is multi-faceted and in areas you would not expect at first blush. My thought is that the ultimate solution [...]
Principles one hour payday loans »
(Andy Matthews) – Earlier this week, Gov. Brian Sandoval announced that he would extend Medicaid to able-bodied, childless adults with incomes over the poverty line. While there are plenty of practical reasons that this decision will have a negative impact on Nevadans, which NPRI’s Geoffrey Lawrence has outlined here, what the governor said in defense of his decision is even more alarming. I couldn’t sit here and defend to any of you $16 million that [...]
Who Does Egypt’s President Think He Is to Declare Himself Above the Law? one hour payday loans »
(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 [...]

What Was Really Baking In The Hostess Ovens one hour payday loans »
NN&V Exclusive (R. M. Smith) – I have watched and read the commentary and articles about the Hostess Bankruptcy. If you sift through all of the rhetoric, what you will find is that no one is really explaining what happened to Hostess. I have sat on both sides of the aisle, first when I was working for the union and now as a labor relations advisor for companies. What I have found is that there [...]
When You Spend More Than You Earn, You Simply Demand a Pay Raise, Right? one hour payday loans »
(Thomas Mitchell/4TH ST8) The Review-Journal reports today that two Southern Nevada local elected officials were in Carson City at something called the Local Government Summit demanding that their constituents pay higher property tax rates in order to fund vital services. Clark County Commissioner Tom Collins was quoted as saying, “You can’t go on trying to run your city on half the property tax” compared to before the recession. “Raise the damn property tax.” The story quoted Las Vegas [...]
Questions We Should be Asking…but Aren’t one hour payday loans »
(Seth Godin) – For a long time, there was alignment between what we wanted when it came to privacy and what was possible for the government to do. We relished our privacy and got used to the freedom to act anonymously at the same time that the government and marketers really couldn’t keep track even if they wanted to. In the pre-internet world, there was just no way to imagine a useful database of every [...]
