WASHINGTON – With the proposed Interstate 11 connecting Southern Nevada and Phoenix on a path to reality, Nevada leaders are setting their sights on the next stretch, north from Las Vegas.

Sens. Dean Heller and Harry Reid are looking to insert wording into an upcoming federal highway bill that would designate an Interstate 11 corridor through Northern Nevada. While studies still are ongoing and substantive work might be a decade or more out, favorable mention in the bill would effectively plant an early flag for a project that must compete for billions in federal dollars.   Continue reading “Congressional delegation to jump-start Interstate 11’s Nevada stretch”

In the U.S., the politics of the left versus the right rolls on with the predictability of traffic jams at the George Washington Bridge. It’s a lot of honking. Until now. All of a sudden, the left has hit ramming speed across a broad swath of American life—in the universities, in politics and in government. People fingered as out of line with the far left’s increasingly bizarre claims are being hit and hit hard.   Continue reading “Obama Unleashes the Left”

Nj.com is running a poll.   As with most polls concerning Second Amendment supporters, it is running strongly in favor of the right to be armed.   What is a little unusual about this poll is that it directly connects the recent Supreme Court decision not to hear the Drake case from New Jersey, that was all about being able to carry a weapon outside of the home, to the poll.  What is nasty about the New Jersey decision is  U.S. District Judge William Walls simply claiming that:

In a surprise disclosure today that is sure to impact the scope and direction of the upcoming select committee’s investigation into the Benghazi massacre, investigators say that U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. has emerged as a key player in the scandal. So far after a year and a half since the massacre took place, Schumer’s name has never been connected to any of the events on the night a U.S. ambassador and three other Americans were slaughtered by Islamist terrorists at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya.   Continue reading “Sen.

Thirty years after Denison University student Laura Carter became an unintended casualty of a Columbus gang war, one of the men convicted in her death learned he soon will be a free man.

The Ohio Parole Board decided yesterday that Gordon Newlin, 60, will be released from state prison on June 18 after serving 25 years of a possible life sentence for his role in the killing of Carter on the Near East Side on April 17, 1982.   Continue reading “Student’s convicted killer wins parole”

You seriously don’t want to mess with Paris Ainsworth.

There’s a reason the Detroit woman’s siblings now call the grandmother of four “Rambo,” and you don’t want to question the validity of the moniker.

You just don’t.

Here’s how it all went down:   Continue reading “Granny ‘Rambo’ Fires When Ready. And, Boy, Was She Ready”

WASHINGTON — In the name of protecting Americans’ rights against government abuses, the House of Representatives voted Wednesday to hold a former IRS official in contempt of Congress for asserting her constitutional right against self-incrimination.

Lois Lerner, who led the IRS division in charge of approving applications from political social welfare groups for tax-exempt status, twice invoked the Fifth Amendment in refusing to testify to the House Oversight Committee beyond asserting her innocence.   Continue reading “Congress Holds Lois Lerner In Contempt In IRS Targeting Probe”

With the situation in the Ukraine escalating and the US continuing to call for sanctions against Russia’s financial and political elite, Vladimir Putin is now not only mobilizing tens of thousands of troops on his Western front, but sending intercontinental strategic bombers across the Pacific Ocean. According to the US military, it’s the first time since the cold war that Russia’s incursions have come this close to America.   Continue reading “Russian Strategic Bombers On West Coast: Did They Take Down Los Angeles Air Traffic Control Systems?”
