Democrats have hit a new low. Beyond Antifa. Beyond plain socialism. Beyond the Clinton lies and corruption. Beyond any reason and decency.

They dug up and then hid an accusation that Supreme Court Justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh was involved in sexual misconduct when he was in high school.

Not a series of continuing transgressions. Not an incident ten years ago, or from law school, or from his undergraduate college days. But in high school.

We guess they couldn’t find the girl with whom Kavanaugh played “post office” in kindergarten.

The Nevada Department of Public Safety says it is investigating sexual assault allegations against Republican Assembly candidate and brothel owner Dennis Hof.

I had already written out this morning's column ahead of time when I learned of U.S. Sen. John McCain's passing.

His death has changed the course of my day, because now I am writing to remember the man who earned the media moniker of "Maverick," and the reputation of someone who usually went his own way.

I told myself some time ago that I would not infuse my columns with politics, so I will tread lightly here to (marginally) "walk the line," as Johnny Cash once sang.

Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval was married to Lauralyn McCarthy Saturday evening at Lake Tahoe, according to a statement released by the Office of the Governor.

Recently, we explained why U.S. Appeals Court Judge Brett Kavanaugh is probably the best person President Donald Trump could have picked for the upcoming Supreme Court opening.

We noted his outstanding record as a lawyer and appellate judge and reviewed his glowing recommendations from legal scholars and colleagues. He’s a good and decent man with outstanding credentials and judicial temperament.

We have Brady Griffiths who is the Field Outreach Director for Marsy’s Law, which happens to be Question 1 this November. Next will be John Wood, candidate for Board of Supervisors, following that we have Maurice White quickly talk about our new Nevada GOP Platform and Resolutions.

U.S. Representative Mark Amodei, serving Nevada's Second Congressional District, today released the following statement on House Resolution 4760, the Securing America’s Future Act:

Health and Social Services (HSS) has been the fastest-growing category of state expenditures since Fiscal Year 2010 (FY10). Nevada spent $5.5 billion on these services in FY17, up from $2.2 billion in FY06.

Much of this spending is financed through federal grants for Medicaid, food stamps and other welfare programs. As Nevada spends money on these programs, it gets some reimbursement from the federal government. However, the reimbursements do not compensate Nevada fully for all expenditures, and certain programs such as Medicaid require a matching state commitment.

A vicious and money-draining Democratic primary for governor has ended with a comfortable win for Clark County Commissioner Steve Sisolak, who vowed to bring bold leadership if he wins the general and ends up taking term-limited Republican Gov. Brian Sandoval’s place.

Fortunately for us, both men have a long record. Gary Schmidt has been an outspoken conservative on every issue for several decades. Like me, Gary Schmidt is a Goldwater / Reagan / Trump Republican. On the other hand, the NPRI rated incumbent state senator Ben Kieckhefer as the most liberal Republican over four sessions of the legislature.

The public is invited to hear Kristin Luis and Ryan Russell, candidates for Carson City Justice of the Peace, at our upcoming meeting Tuesday, June 19.

Gary Schmidt will be allowed to keep up his state Senate run — for now. The Nevada Supreme Court on Friday ruled Republican primary election voters in state Senate District 16 could cast a ballot for Schmidt ahead of a July 9 hearing at the state’s highest court.
