The Clark County Democratic Party issued the following press release on the voter fraud raid in Las Vegas. If you ask me Secretary State Ross Miller and Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto should be embarrassed by the shameless politicization by...

That essentially is what one of my political friends in Las Vegas says about the story that allegedly Barack Obama tried to privately persuade Iraqi leaders to delay American troop withdrawal to make it better for his presidential run. The story did...

Fox News reporting on the Review-Journal's story on voter fraud in Las Vegas interviewed "political columnist" Jon Ralston on the story. Nothing wrong with playing catch-up. This is after all an important story. But Fox introduced Jon as...

Finally, John McCain took the offensive and pushed Barack Obama on his heels. Tonight McCain was sharp, crisp and, if I may say so, a little pissed off. He not only pinned the Herbert Hoover tail on Obama he finally landed the big spender punch on...

A few posts down, I showed you a wonderful picture of a political rally in 1950. One fellow was unidentified. My friend and former colleague UNLV history professor Michael Green, (though you couldn't tell it from his pesky pricky posts to my blog),...

Once Boulder Dam (oh, for goodness sake, fine -- Hoover Dam) was the end-all be-all for tourists. It's still a popular attraction, but visitors now often spend a good bit of time standing on the dam shooting pictures of the flyover that's beginning...

Anybody still feel like taking an all-in risk with the totally unproven Barack Obama economic semi-socialism plan? The worse things get, the less interested I am....

Newsweek reports: "The Obama campaign has shattered all fund-raising records, raking in $458 million so far, with about half the bounty coming from donors who contribute $200 or less. Aides say that's an illustration of a truly democratic...

Here's the lamest press release to cross my Blackberry in some time. And, believe me, that's saying a lot. It pretends to say: "We're Democrats and we're here to help". What it really says is "Good luck with that mortgage. Hope you...

Rep. Barney Frank mixes it up with Bill O'Reilly in this clip. I feel good that O'Reilly yelled at Frank, but I'd feel better if the FBI would launch a criminal investigation into Democrat/Socialist Frank and others in Congress who benefitted from...

This note from a loyal Review-Journal reader to Editor Tom Mitchell says it all for me, too. Nothin' better than cracking open a fresh morning newspaper, like the Review-Journal, and having the world, right down to the neighborhood, presented to you....

Since I'm none too bashful about giving Harry hell when I think he's screwed up, it's only right I give him praise when I think Sen. Reid has done something well. Harry exhibited great leadership on the credit market rescue bill this week. He...

There is no defense for Gwen Ifill not notifying the parties in tonight's VP debate about her book "The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama". As a consequence, much attention will be focussed on her and her questions, when...

Congress folk scurry like cockroaches when light is shined on how we as a country got into this credit crisis. But the truth finds a way to expose them, as with this New York Times article from 1999. Reading this story is enough to make your blood...

If there is one thing we know about the Democrat controlled Congress it is that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate leader Harry Reid are absolutely incapable to doing anything when it counts in a bipartisan fashion. They simply do not have...
