This Week’s First Friday Guest: Another Great American Military Hero! »
(Chuck Muth) – On his way to a meeting in Manhattan, Ilario witnessed the Twin Towers burning in the attacks of September 11, 2001. So he re-upped, went to Officer Candidate School, and went back to Iraq where he took command of an Infantry Platoon, the WARLORDS.
Lowden: Harry Must Be Defeated; Harry CAN Be Defeated »
(Sue Lowden) – I got into the Republican primary for Nevada’s U.S. Senate race this year with one thing in mind: To defeat Harry Reid. Period. And my commitment to that cause hasn’t waned one bit, despite some media reports to the contrary. As I said in my concession speech back on June 8, I accept the decision of Nevada’s Republican primary voters. I congratulated Sharron Angle on her win that night, wished her well….and [...]

The Importance of Education – The Highest »
(Jim Blockey) – There is nothing more important than taking education back to where it was. There are many times in life that we need to take a step backwards in order to be able to move forward. As far as education is concerned this has never been more true than now. As I laid out in my book, “Teachers… It Ain’t Your Fault,” socialists like John Dewey and G. Stanley Hall had a great [...]
Shouldn’t school superintendents be subject to ethics-in-government laws? »
(Karen Gray/NPRI) – All across America, elected officials are required to file personal financial disclosure reports and ethics-acknowledgment statements. Both are intended to promote public integrity. The financial disclosure reports, usually annual, remind officials of their financial interests and help them avoid conflicts of interest. The ethics-acknowledgment statements — forms stating he or she has read and understands the state’s ethics standards and recognizes his or her obligation to keep abreast of any new amendments [...]
Rory, Rory, Pants on Fire »
(Chuck Muth) – Rory REID claims Brian Sandoval budget plan would result in massive teacher layoffs. That’s not spin, that’s an outright lie….and Rory knows it’s an outright lie….and since he chooses to continue telling it anyway….that makes him a liar.
As the Horsford Turns »
(Chuck Muth) – LVRJ columnist Jane Ann Morrison reports this morning that Senate Majority Leader Steven Horsford (D-Diners Club) “has returned $100,675 to contributors to his political action committee Victory 2010 in the aftermath of strong criticism that the solicitation he mailed out crossed the ethical line and fell into ‘pay to play’ mode.” According to Morrison, Horsford will report and return $19,975 worth of pay-to-play dinner club memberships which were made to his PAC [...]
Going to War over Pete G’s Baby Food Tax »
(Chuck Muth) – As you may recall, Nevada Assembly Minority Leader Pete Goicoechea (R-Another Planet) went on Sam Shad’s “Nevada Newsmakers” program last week and threw his support behind a new $500 million tax on….groceries. That would be bad enough if a tax-happy Democrat had proposed it….but why in the world would the Republican LEADER in the state assembly propose something to insanely preposterous right smack dab in the middle of this Great Recession? Can [...]
A Hispanic and a Republican? You betcha! »
(Ellie Lopez-Bowlan) – Many Republican Hispanics from around the country have been outraged by Sen. Harry Reid’s Aug. 10 comments. The consensus is that the senator is out of touch with the evolution of the Hispanic vote. We choose a party for the same reasons as others. The issues that affect other individuals also impact Hispanics. Personally, I don’t know why any Hispanic would vote for a person who would question his or her freedom [...]
Clear Choice for AD 3 Voters: Morelli or Higher Taxes, Bigger Government »
(Eric Morelli) – As the economic downturn has devastated the state of Nevada we can no longer tolerate business as usual in Carson City. We need a legislature that will help to create the conditions to bring our economy back to life and encourage businesses to produce jobs. My name is Eric Morelli and I’m running for Nevada State Assembly in District 3. Nevada’s hard-working families and businesses have been decimated by this economy. More [...]
