The corrupt Clinton criminals are repeating this strategy of divide and conquer again in this election and every voter should understand that any Republican vote for third parties helps insure victory for the lollipop guild Hillary who is as intelligent, and honest, as she is tall. The Clinton's crime family rose to power using the divide and conquer assistance of Ross Perot. The Clinton's can win again with only a minority of votes because many voters split the electorate three ways.

I attended all the pre-election forums at the BAC performance hall, and found myself a little bit confused by Republican Assembly candidate Al Kramer's position on background checks for non-FFL firearm purchases. At the forum, I thought I heard Al say he supported universal background checks, by which I assume he meant that he'd be willing to vote for such a bill were he elected as our Assemblyman.

When I think of stagnation, I think of a pond where the water isn’t circulating. The water gets murky. Algae might grow. If water sits stagnant for a while, pets can get sick if they drink from it. Stagnant water is a source of malaria and dengue. It’s serious stuff. Let it sit a long time and it smells like serious stuff, too. This is what happens in our lives if we don’t grow.

The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists indicates the doomsday clock is only three minutes left before nuclear war. There has never been a more dangerous time of nuclear confrontation than today. The administration has pursued the Obama/Hillary/Kerry policy of War Through Weakness rather than the Reagan Peace Through Strength policy that won the cold war. The question for a Hillary voter is; Will Mrs. Clinton sell the rest of our uranium just to earn another big payday for Bill from our enemies?

Please watch the video as you read my comments. I did not transcribe the Chamber's 5-6 questions.

The Carson City Chamber of Commerce is hosting a Candidate Forum at the Gold Dust West today beginning at noon. This forum, presented live in the attached video below, gives the community another chance to hear and meet the candidates for mayor and supervisor prior to the start of early voting.

I grew up where the handshake deal was gold. If someone said they would do something, they did it. All it took was a handshake and work began. Handshake deals are still pretty common. Unfortunately, plenty can still be misunderstood with a handshake deal.

Halloween is two weeks away, the Nevada Day Parade a few days before, and the 2016 election a few days after. Learn more about our local races during the Chamber of Commerce Candidate Forum today at noon. It will be streaming live right here on CarsonNow.org.

Advocates to End Domestic Violence is holding a week long toiletry drive beginning today: donations will be accepted at Classy Seconds Thrift Shop and are much appreciated.

Inspiration can come from anywhere. Sometimes, business lessons come flying at me faster than I can take notes about them. Ideas are sort of like orbs. Some you can’t see unless you are looking for them. Some people believe in them, some don’t. Yet they are always a topic of discussion. The orbs were flying like crazy at The St. Charles Hotel this past weekend.

The League of Women Voters of Northern Nevada, in partnership with Sierra Nevada Forums, American Association of University Women Capital Branch, and PFLAG Carson Region, will present election forums Wednesday, Oct. 12 and Tuesday, Oct. 18.

I just got back from a great trip to the Bay area. What may surprise you is, fear almost talked me out of it. Fear told me my car had been feeling kind of funny and maybe needed a once over from a mechanic before the trip. Fear told me I haven’t seen the friends I was meeting for a long time.

I don’t know who asked for this chilly, windy weather, but it’s here. Heck, it even snowed in Reno overnight. Grab a few extra layers and enjoy the day.

Have you ever felt stuck?  Tires in the mud of life stuck? Where is my life going stuck? Being stuck can be an important part of the change process. Yet, if you let it get to you, it can trigger deeper levels of stuck. Through inaction, you could perpetuate your own negative outcome.

Kingsbury Grade in Douglas County was closed for several hours Friday after a crash between a motorhome and a Nissan Pathfinder sent several victims to area hospitals and resulted in the death of one of the drivers.

Carson City is looking for public input on the upcoming development along South Carson St., so head to Fuji Park to make your voice heard.

I saw a meme on Facebook the other day. It was a woman with glowing, soulless eyes. The meme read, “the look you get when you have been in sales too long.” It was posted by a career salesman who felt soulless doing what he does for a living. My question to him was this. Do you believe in what you are selling? His answer: no.
If you don’t believe in what you are selling, you are going to face challenges.

I was so touched by the response to the Advanced Gratitude Journaling class I taught last Friday. Whenever I can make a difference in someone’s life, I get a deep sense of satisfaction. I feel it takes me one step closer to fulfilling my life’s purpose.I am committed to learning, growing, inspiring others, and making a difference in the world.

This is the first Labor Day I didn’t force myself to work. After the Temple Burn at Burning Man, I decided I needed to dedicate a little time today to a different kind of work. That work was emotional in nature.

See, the Temple Burn on the Playa is a somber moment. It’s a time of reflection, letting go, and grief. The purpose is to release pain, bad habits, and what no longer serves.

SILVER CITY — While he's in Nevada teaching a graduate level course on poetry at University of Nevada, Reno, acclaimed poet David Lee will also offer poetry readings on the Comstock in historic Silver City (dates to be determined).

This weekend, I volunteered my time at the Reno-Tahoe International Airport. Donned in fur and boots, I gave hugs and greeted Burners flying into Reno for Burning Man. I also imparted valuable information. I shared how to get supplies, travel to Black Rock Desert, and enjoy the festival.

GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump was greeted by nearly 900 attendees inside and some demonstrators outside a fundraising dinner at Harrah's Lake Tahoe in Stateline on Friday night.

Alone. Just sit with that word for a bit. Alone. Does it send chills down your spine? Does it induce a little fear? Or, does is speak to you in a different way?

U.S Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn., stopped by the Carson City Democratic Headquarters on Saturday to stump for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and to celebrate the grand re-opening of Clinton's Carson City campaign office.

In 2009, I lost my job at Konami Digital Entertainment. It was devastating. I realized my household now had zero income. My husband at the time didn’t have a job, either. He had been looking for a job for months since he quit his job in Dallas to move us to Southern California.
