Barry And Harry Scratch The Backs Of Supporters »
(Thomas Mitchell/4th St8) – I call it money laundering. This week the Obama administration’s Interior Department identified thousands of acres of public land suitable for solar energy projects, including five sites in Nevada, which already has several solar energy projects on public land. The Silver State North Project in the Ivanpah Valley near the California border was the first utility-scale photovoltaic farm built on public land anywhere in the United States. That project is owned [...]

(Chuck Muth) – Assembly Judiciary Committee Chairman William Horne (D-Clark County) is threatening to screw around with Nevada’s gun laws in response to the Carson City IHOP shooting in which four people, including three Nevada National Guard members, were killed by a mentally ill man. Horne claims he’s pro-gun, but asked in a recent interview with the Reno Gazette-Journal: “Why does a typical citizen need to own an assault weapon?” Alas, the Constitution isn’t about [...]

“Experts” Just Don’t Get Cain’s Appeal »
(Fred Weinberg/The Penny Press) – You know who doesn’t want to see Herman Cain win the GOP nomination? The “experts” on both sides. They just don’t like it when someone who hasn’t been “vetted” by them and might lack the proper “gravitas” to ascend to the Presidency, actually looks like he’s got a shot. I’ve watched everybody from Bill O’Reilly to Britt Hume poo poo Cain’s improbable move to the top of the GOP list. [...]
President Obama Just Bribed Me for My Vote »
(David Mansdoerfer) – Yesterday, I wrote that forgiving student loan debt is a slap to the face of everyone who didn’t go to college. Today, I calculated a rough estimate of how hard that slap would be. In President Obama’s new student loan debt reduction plan, he calls for a cap of 10 percent on discretionary income and total loan forgiveness after 20 years. The amount a student would pay under this plan, would be [...]
Little Casino Isn’t About to Let Big Gamer Push It Around »

The State of Nevada has granted the Roadhouse approval to open. The City of Henderson has said it can move forward with its plans to reopen.

Underperforming Teacher Not Fired, Transferred To Another School »
(Victor Joecks/NPRI) – Dave Berns with the Las Vegas Sun has been writing a series of articles on Chaparral High School. Included in Berns’ most recent article was a perfect example of why school must be allowed to fire bad teachers. Chaparral High School Principal David Wilson refers to math as “the gatekeeper” that determines the success or failure of high school and college students. Those who pass will move on. Those who don’t will [...]
Milking The Unemployment System »
(Chuck Muth) – The story the mainstream press keeps ignoring in the unemployment “crisis” is that there are an awful lot of employable folks who could and would take a job in a heartbeat if their unemployment bennies ran out. As it is, they’d rather live at home with momma, or off a spouse’s income, and sit around doing nothing and collecting an unemployment check than take a job they won’t like or they think [...]
Reno Businessman Pays $8.99 After Audit And Launches New Effort To Fight Regulations »
(Sean Whaley/Nevada Business Bureau) – Businessman Raymond Pezonella said today he knew the burden of complying with government regulations had hit a new level of absurdity after an all-day audit resulted in an $8.99 gas tax charge to his company because of a trip to California that his workers had failed to record. “This took two of my people all day long,” he said. “That guy tied up my conference room all day to do this [...]
