Real reason Faraday Future deal should never have been struck

  • July 13, 2017

For all the recriminations and navel gazing over the Faraday Future flop, no one is bringing up the real reason that the deal should never have been made in the first place. Yes, it was an ill-conceived idea for gullible Nevada lawmakers in a special session in 2015 on blind faith alone to agree to dole out $215 million in tax abatements and credits to entice Faraday Future to build an electric car factory at the Apex industrial complex in[…]

Absolutely no respect for Nevada taxpayer’s money

  • June 28, 2017

The local newspaper has the ability to sometimes surprise us with unbelievable news. It happened in a recent three-day period. The state of Nevada is always crying poverty; very few mention the government waste within the state. Teachers are leaving the state for obvious reasons; approximately 35 percent of our veterans are homeless living on the streets of Las Vegas under high temperatures, but there is no money to put them in a decent building with air conditioning because there is no[…]

Congress should dump plan to tax advertising

  • June 28, 2017

Congress is finally seriously talking about tax reform for the first time since President Reagan signed the Tax Reform Act of 1986, but there is a fly in the anointment. The current draft being proffered contains a proposal to alter the Internal Revenue Code to tax advertising for the first time since the income tax was created in 1913. Currently businesses are allowed to deduct advertising expenditures just as they do other necessary business expenses, such as wages and rent. The[…]

Commissioner Scow steps down

  • June 28, 2017

Clark County Commissioner Mary Beth Scow (D) resigned last week from her position representing District G effective June 30. After Scow cited the typical “family matters” excuses in her resignation letter, political trend observers theorized that this is another part of the Democratic Party’s plan to circumvent the voters desire to get rid of tired apathetic politicians via term limits. The governor is required to replace a seat-holder who quits with a person of the same party living in that district. This[…]

NV Supreme Court can’t comment on Holper’s case

  • June 28, 2017

Second of a series The Nevada State Bar could be compared to the Culinary Union, the Carpenters Union, or even the Police Protective Association or any other labor union where the members pay their dues for protection that seldom exists; lawyers also pay the “union dues” to the Nevada State Bar making others wonder how the Nevada State Bar can take actions against those who help paying for the physical address of the office, and most likely help pay for the[…]

1.4 million illegals working under stolen Social Security numbers!

  • June 28, 2017

By Stephen Dinan The Washington Times Most illegal immigrants who pay taxes have stolen someone else’s legal identity, and the IRS doesn’t do a very good job of letting those American citizens and legal immigrants know they’re being impersonated, the tax agency’s inspector general said in a new report released June 22, 2017. The theft creates major problems for the American citizens and legal foreign workers whose identities are stolen, and who have to deal with explaining money they never earned.[…]

“Love America,” its values and principles

  • June 28, 2017

It could be as simple as developing  real  love  for  your  country, its traditions, its values and principles, along with a complete understanding and adherence to the Constitution  of  the United States  of America. The latest trend is detracting and dissenting from just about everything our President comes up with, along  with  being  either too  late,  or  too  early  with  an  idea  to  make our  country better  in  every way  possible. Having the mainstream news media plaster dissenting remarks and negative comments[…]

Yvanna Cancela, a Cuban puppet of uncle Harry Reid with a Castro mentality.

  • June 28, 2017

I have always hated to compare this wonderful country to any other in the Universe, especially to a country under a communist regime. I want to make clear in this column that I am not referring to the country but to the elected officials that have been elected to serve the people of this great nation and have failed to do so. Every time I see those big shot wannabes elected to the legislature, the county commission, city council,[…]

Hate kills, but it Can’t Reach the Prayers of those Who Care

  • June 26, 2017

There is no doubt that we are living in a world full of hate and resentment. Last week a lunatic who, more than a year after the election, was still supporting Bernie Sanders, targeted several Republican members of Congress in a horrific act of violence — when in reality the only person who pushed Sanders to the side without mercy was Hillary Clinton. Republican members of Congress were at a baseball practice in Alexandria, Virginia[…]

  • June 24, 2017

The Nevada Legislature passed a lifesaving drunk driving bill that will save lives and prevent injuries caused by repeat drunk driving. Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) applauds legislators for passing SB 259, which would make Nevada the 30th state to require ignition interlocks after a drunk driving offense. “MADD is grateful to the Nevada Legislature for recognizing that ignition interlocks are the only technology available to stop someone from driving drunk,” said Debbie Zelinski, Program[…]
