Mollette: Trump, audio tape and American hypocrisy

About ten years ago Donald Trump was recorded saying some very vulgar and appalling words. Most Americans by this time have heard what he said as many of the network and cable news channels have played the audio recording many times. If you haven’t heard Trump’s very shocking audio which is very degrading to women then just turn on your television. You will hear it multiple times between now and the Nov. 8 election.

Knecht: Nevada’s tax and spending changes play poorly on national stage

Trump stands in way of Great Basin health

Nevada lies mostly within the Great Basin, the largest desert in north America. Historian James Hulse has written that the term “basin” can be deceptive, that it is more like a bowl of mashed potatoes, with the potatoes in the center rising higher than the outer ridges of the bowl. There are more than 130 million acres in the basin, and one of the things some federal officials have never understood is that it contains a fragile ecology. When they wanted to do things like install the MX missile system, it not only offended local sensibilities but threatened the health of the basin. That is not the only threat, either.
