Good doctors are NOT hard to find in our area
- May 18, 2018
It is amazing how the majority of politicians in Nevada disrespect our medical professionals; these politicians are the very same people who probably knock on their doors asking for campaign contributions and begging for their votes and the votes of their family members. Former senator Harry Reid had to travel all the way to Baltimore for surgery to be performed at Johns Hopkins Cancer Center, as if we don’t have more than adequate hospitals in Nevada. Harry Reid is not[…]

Our Choice for Sheriff
- May 17, 2018
Our all-the-way endorsement has to go to former police detective Gordon Martines. Martines was and still is the only police detective with the courage of attacking his superiors while still carrying the badge and the gun that make many male officers men for a day. Martines has seen his long time (police) partner Luis Arrojo and (Sgt) Steve Junge cowardly lie under oath to please their immediate supervisor afraid of former Sheriff Doug Gillespie. In November Martines took his immediate[…]

Exercise your right to vote

May 19, 2018

Early voting starts ten days from today, and even if we do not encourage anyone to take advantage of the new system of early voting, many people do vote early because they may have been brainwashed by political maneuvering and so-called campaign experts that try to control the voting system. We have always felt that the citizens of any community need to make and take the time to vote on a specific day, just like they always did before early[…]

Honoring all mothers

May 12, 2018

Yes, we know that not all mothers are worthy of being honored: there are some that run away from their responsibilities, some that regret ever becoming a mother and take it out on their child or children, and some that — while they could well have afforded to raise their child — choose to give the child away. Who doesn’t know that? But such mothers are hardly the majority of mothers. Just as there are[…]

Every person has (or had) a mother

May 12, 2018

It takes a big dose of Mother-love to carry on through the hardships of life

May 12, 2018

This coming Sunday is Mother’s Day. Unfortunately I cannot celebrate the day with my mother because she is no longer on this earth, even though I remember her every single day of the year. It is my humble way to celebrate the day by every year remembering women who in my opinion are great mothers as is the case with our managing editor, Maramis Choufani, who even though her children are all grown-up, still, to this day,[…]

Politicians, casinos, beer companies make a big deal out of the 5 de Mayo

May 11, 2018

Many people outside Mexico mistakenly believe that Cinco de Mayo is a celebration of Mexican independence, which was declared more than 50 years before the Battle of Puebla. Independence Day in Mexico (Dia de la Independencia) is commemorated on September 16, the anniversary of the revolutionary priest Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, famous “Grito de Dolores” (“Cry of Dolores”), a call to arms that amounted to a declaration of war against the Spanish colonial government in 1810. Beside the fact that City[…]

The absolutely last two people to listen to about education reform

April 27, 2018

There are few “absolutes” in life, but let me give you two: (1) Nevada’s public education system overall absolutely sucks. (2) The absolutely last person in Nevada you want to listen to on how to fix it is Chris Giunchigliani. “Chris G” is a left-wing Clark County commissioner and former state legislator who is currently running in the Democrat gubernatorial primary against absolutely the second last person you want to listen to on this issue, fellow Clark County Commissioner Steve[…]
