- September 20, 2017
Another call for licensing of Yucca Mountain has been made.

- September 13, 2017
Though the Nevada Constitution clearly states that any person serving in one branch of government may not perform “any function” of another branch, the Legislature’s lawyers, the Legislative Counsel Bureau (LCB), in 2002 penned a non-binding opinion that stated a person may serve in the Legislature if they do not exercise “any sovereign functions” in another branch. The definition of the adjective sovereign is: “possessing supreme or ultimate power,” thus the LCB adulteration of the[…]

The Lighting Proves that the Newspaper Does Not Lie
- September 13, 2017
Responding to Las Vegas Tribune allegations that perhaps some city officials or just city employees were protecting a Mexican that was building a shack in his backyard, the city explained that “shacks” do not need permits. However this ‘shack” is even higher than a regular house on the block. It has a porch and lights, which begs the question of who did the electrical installation, giving the other residents on the block the assurance[…]

September 22, 2017

Let’s get right to the 2017 Conservative Leadership Conference wrap-up… Hoo-wee! Was that ever a weekend!

ON THE HOLMES FRONT – Judge suspended without pay… for supporting Trump

September 22, 2017

By Frank Holmes If you want to know how much the left hates Donald Trump and his supporters, just consider this: A judge has been suspended for a month without pay — for wearing “Make America Great Again” hat! A panel of his peers said that Justice Bernd Zabel’s decision to wear the pro-Trump slogan in court is an “inexplicable act of judicial misconduct.” “Justice Zabel’s conduct that day gave rise to a perception by[…]

September 22, 2017

Sunday, Sept. 17, marked the anniversary of one of the most propitious days in the history of this country.

You remember the Constitution don’t you? That’s the document that says the president “shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed …” Not waive, delay[…]

Why Join Toastmasters?

September 22, 2017

When I competed for the World Championship of Public Speaking in 1977, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada two interesting things happened. First, the judges came to me to show me their ballots (as they are obligated to do), which indicated I was the winner. The bad news, they told me “You have regrettably gone overtime and therefore are disqualified.” You can[…]

Steve Sanson is Exposing Family Court Corruption

September 22, 2017

The Family Division of the Eighth District Court of Nevada has been infamous for a very long time for doing things according to the wishes of the judges and others in the building. We can go back to the end of the ‘90s as the Las Vegas Tribune’s first insertion, which takes us back to the sad era of former Family Court judge, Fran Fine. Several former and present members of our team could be[…]
