(Chuck Muth) – Friday marked the close of filing for offices in Nevada.  The fields are *almost* set, as candidates still have until March 29 to withdraw their candidacies (and a number should).  But for the most part, the horses are at the gate and…they’re off! Let’s first look at some of the last-minute surprises which you […]

(Chuck Muth) – There’s not a lot of light between the two leading GOP candidates for Nevada’s U.S. Senate seat issue-wise.  Differences are in the margins, such as this one on the gun issue… Sam Brown has criticized Adam Laxalt over the issue of “red flag” laws, in which a person could be stripped of their gun rights on the suspicion that […]

(Chuck Muth) – Eight of the nine Republican candidates vying for the GOP nomination for governor participated in a debate Thursday night in Reno.  I didn’t watch the debate live.  I’ll wait for the edited version to come out next week.  But based on news and social media reports I’ve read, here are some observations and an […]

(Chuck Muth) – After Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene (R-GA) was permanently kicked off Twitter a couple days ago, President Donald Trump wrote…      “Everybody should drop off of Twitter and Facebook.  They’re boring, have only a Radical Left point of view, and are hated by everyone.  They are a disgrace to our Nation.  Keep fighting, Marjorie!” To that end, I’ve been on […]

(Chuck Muth) – The beatification of Saint Harry Reid has been as over-the-top as it was expected from the left.  One quick example is this statement from socialist Rep. Steven Horsford (D-NV)…      “Senator Harry Reid was a real-life hero; a colossus of Nevada and national politics…” Oy vey. But such “effusive praise” hasn’t been universal.  From Stephen Moore of the Committee to Unleash […]
