The Absurdity of Mandating Diversity

May 24, 2017

When you boil it down to its fundamental essence, it is an absurdity. A line in the morning paper’s editorial causes one to stop, think and calculate. The screed takes issue with a comment Nevada Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto made in an interview with Politico, in which she said, “We should be mandating diversity in our committees, mandating diversity in our hiring practices, mandating diversity throughout the United States Senate.” She later is quoted as[…]

How sick can you be to blow up innocent people, especially innocent little girls at a London Concert

May 24, 2017

I ask you, what is it going to take to label, demonize, and condemn Islamic Radical Terrorists? Every imaginable excuse has been created to justify these types of terrorist acts and to not go all out and place severe restrictions on anyone that remotely identifies with this unholy movement.

Her umbrage was prompted by reports that President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner’s sister mentioned the visa program to potential Chinese investors in a family-owned[…]

May 24, 2017

Well that should settle that piece of politically inspired legislation. According to the morning newspaper, Gov. Brian Sandoval told a Reno radio station Monday he does not support creating a general counsel to legally represent agencies such as the Gaming Control Board and remove the office of attorney general from that role. Sounds like a promise to veto. The proposal is contained in Assembly Bill 513, which was put forward by Democratic Assemblywoman Maggie Carlton[…]
