This is a nation of immigrants, but…

August 9, 2017

While everyone is talking about immigration reform and many other ways of “fixing” the immigration laws, we have been saying all along that all the government needs to do is enforce the already existing laws as they are on the books. The immigration fiasco is only a way for the Liberals, Democrats and Republican chameleons that pretend to be Republicans to run for office and later turn into frustrated Democrats with the help of the socialist mainstream media, both in print[…]

Making our community better includes fixing our election process

August 9, 2017

We may have forgotten all the hoopla that was being blasted in the mainstream news media, and in the secondary news media about hacking the electronic voting machines. Well, that ugly matter still hasn’t been resolved. With all the might of the mainstream media at their fingertips, the crooked politicians have worked it so that most if not all of the voters have forgotten about all the crooked voting machines, some of which are even radio-controlled, and the legal barriers that have[…]

Good-bye to a friend

August 9, 2017

Attending an Italian funeral could be a place to meet former bookies and a group of mainly well-dressed men with tough voices, never finishing a sentence, letting one guess or make up one’s own mind about what they are trying to say, giving the impression that one is watching the Godfather, Goodfellas, or those Casino movies. However, last Saturday I attended the funeral of my friend Donald Di Carlo, also known by his friends as Donny Di Carlo, and while[…]

Who will stand up for the First Amendment?

August 9, 2017

The lede editorial in Friday’s newspaper rightfully thumps Democrat Rep. Jacky Rosen, who recently announced she will seek Sen. Dean Heller’s seat next year, for embracing the First Amendment-shredding effort to overturn the Citizens United Supreme Court ruling that said corporations and unions have free speech rights. The editorial noted that this week Rosen was endorsed by the End Citizens United group and she responded by saying, “I’m grateful to End Citizens United for their[…]

Vegas Valley Fourth Annual Theatre Awards

August 6, 2017

Glitz, giggles and hugs filled the standing-room-only Fourth Annual Vegas Valley Theatre Awards at “The Space” last Tuesday. The awards, known as the “Valleys” are becoming a local “Tony,” if you will. Created a few years ago by Jacob Coakley (who has moved to Berkeley) it is now run by Sarah O’ Connell, Ralph Stalter, Jr. and a host of volunteers and community theater adjudicators with eatmoreartvegas.com. Snappy entertainment from award contestants was thoughtfully interspersed[…]

August 4, 2017

There is a handful of Journalists in Las Vegas that are trusted and count with the respect of their readers — and of course, the person I call first lady of our television, Nancy Burns. Jane Ann Morrison, Bob Stoldal, and John L Smith, to name a few, are writers I like to read; and even if I don’t always agree with them, I respect their opinions. When any of them write about a subject that I am passionate[…]

Three important words: Loyalty, Honor and Truth

August 4, 2017

Three important words — loyalty, honor and truth — by all standards in Las Vegas should be stricken from the English language and never used in this community again, or at least until positive changes occur. Cheat a friend, no problem; Las Vegas will show you how to do it, and still come out smelling like a rose. Serve your community as a public servant; Las Vegas will show you how to line your own pockets and scam the taxpayer[…]

Judge holds that lawmakers can hold down government jobs at the same time

August 2, 2017

A Carson City judge has thrown out a lawsuit brought by the Nevada Policy Research Institute in an effort to force compliance with the Separation of Powers Clause of the Nevada Constitution. In order to establish standing as a party, NPRI sued state Sen. Heidi Gansert on behalf of a client, Doug French, who wanted to seek her job as executive director of external relations at the University of Nevada, Reno. Article 3 of the Nevada Constitution states: “The powers[…]

Police should not be allowed to seize property without a conviction

August 2, 2017

President Trump’s Attorney General Jeff Sessions has a reputation as alaw-and-order guy, but the plan he announced this past week to step up civil asset forfeiture efforts skirts the law and jeopardizes order. The plan is to reverse an Obama administration policy that restricted how often federal agencies would accept property — cash, vehicles, homes, airplanes — seized by local police agencies under suspicion it was used to perpetrate a crime such as drug dealing. That seized property is sold[…]
