Secretary of State

As I write this article, the Electoral College is deciding the route of the American Presidency and of Donald Trump as President-Elect. The Russian ambassador has been shot and killed in Turkey by a fanatic. Another European terrorist attack has taken place in Berlin, Germany, killing at least 12 people and wounding dozens of others during the Christmas shopping season. Back in Aleppo, Syria, the Assad government is finishing off the horrific killings of its own people as well as rescue helpers and hundreds of Christians — many of whom are women and children.

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?

As a voter like you, I am listening to, viewing, and reading much on Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. One is well known in Washington politics and the other also well known but outside the Washington beltway in terms of political experience. Both Clinton and Trump are the presumptive Democratic and Republican candidates for president of the United States respectively. Both have fought very contentious campaigns, Both do not carry a high degree of trust with the American voting public, but for different reasons.

Well, as Nevadans, we are collectively now stuck with a new tax. It's name? Commerce Tax. (A Clever disguise for the recently defeated Gross Margin Tax?) Up until a few days ago, it was believed that this wouldn't pass. I have yet to see any real media explanation of the details, so, after reading the text of the bill enough times (SB483), while my head is still spinning, I will attempt to give you a little more of the picture.

Mr. Bush, we have some folks you can to talk to about climate change

By Mark Reynolds

It makes me nervous when someone who might become president of the United States says the science on climate change is “convoluted” and that it is “arrogant” to assert that humans are the primary cause of global warming.

That’s what happened recently when Jeb Bush, the still-undeclared presidential candidate, said the following at a campaign-style event in New Hampshire:

To the Editor: I am writing this as a business owner who has spoken to many businesses, residents, agricultural community, and yes, teachers who all support education, including myself, but, not at the expense of small businesses. At a glance looking at the Governor’s Sandoval’s bill this sounds like an appealing option, but go a little deeper and you will see that this could be a devastating decision for many of the people who are the backbone of our business community. This bill could possibly be the straw that broke the camel’s back. It reads as follows:

When it first surfaced weeks ago, I called the bill to change Nevada from a caucus state to a primary state and make it the first one to cast ballots in the White House race the Screw Bill Gardner and Terry Branstad Bill, a reference to New Hampshire's omnipotent secretary of state and Iowa's govern...
