BLOG: GOP legislator embraces Obama’s 11th commandment
“You never let a serious crisis go to waste.” So saideth Rahm Emanuel, former political adviser to President Obama - who has taken said advice to heart and effectively made it his own 11th Commandment. But it’s not just Democrats who swoop in to take advantage of a crisis. ...
BLOG: The bizarre misadventures of Steven Brooks
So less than two weeks before the start of the 2013 legislative session we have a black Democrat city councilman, Ricki Barlow, telling a black Democrat state senator, Kelvin Atkinson, that a black Democrat assemblyman, Steven Brooks, allegedly made threatening statements about a white Democrat assemblywoman, Marilyn Kirkpatrick. As ...
BLOG: Washoe County schools in need of repair but who will pay?
“No Man’s life, liberty or property is safe while the legislature is in session”. This quote is attributed to Mark Twain but in fact he probably stole it from 19th Century New York legislator Gideon Tucker. Whoever the author Nevada’s legislature is on the brink of convening and will ...
BLOG: The depressing state of the state of Nevada
Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval’s State of the State address was a thoroughly uninspiring cookie-cutter speech that may as well have been phoned in to save everyone the time and trouble. For the state’s sake, let’s hope this “laundry list” speech was written by one or more overpaid political consultants ...
BLOG: Welcome to Taxapalooza Nevada ‘13!
Democrat ex-Assemblywoman Sheila Leslie recently delivered what was billed as a Progressive (meaning Liberal) State of the State speech in advance of moderate Republican Gov.

BLOG: After election loss, GOP looks to re-brand
Last month I penned a column suggesting that if the GOP does not reach out more to minorities, particularly Latinos, the party may go the way of the Whigs for lack of relevancy. Bonanza readers followed up on that theme in letters to the editor. Self-admitted progressive Richard Steinberger ...

Hopefully, the Justices will agree that even our most fundamental rights, such as those found in ...
BLOG: It’s long past time to ban gun-free zones
On December 14, 2012, a gunman entered a public school in Newtown, Connecticut, opened fire, and killed six adults and twenty little children. In the interest of the children’s “safety,” the school was a well-known gun-free zone. None of the adults, survivors or slain, were armed with the ability ...
BLOG: ‘Obama care’ causes more harm than good
If you occasionally see a doctor, are planning surgery or (God forbid) are facing hospitalization stand by for a ram. At the end of this month Obamacare will crank still another notch towards its January 1, 2014 full implementation. The 2000+ page law, of which then Speaker Nancy Pelosi ...
BLOG: GOP must appeal to Latino voters
I spent last month cruising the Mediterranean which explains my recent absence from the pages of the Bonanza. We stopped at every Spanish port from Barcelona to Cadiz and as beautiful as that land is the unemployment rate is 26% and trains aren’t running because of a strike. Returning ...
