In 2014, Nevada Republicans won complete control of the state government for the first time since the Depression – and proceeded to blow that historic opportunity by passing the largest tax hike in state history.

America elected him to be our 45th President. The political establishment bashed him. Wall Street opposed him. Most of the prior Republican candidates opposed him. Mitt Romney opposed him. John Kasich, governor of Ohio made a buffoon of himself by voting for John McCain of Arizona.

There is a lot of talk going around about presidential electors protecting the country from a Donald Trump presidency.

It’s Sunday morning at 9 a.m. I can faintly hear gunfire in the distance from Front Sight. Closer, I hear engines accelerating and then decelerating as cars race around the track at Spring Mountain.

Death Valley Brewing would like to thank Brenda Klinger and the Pahrump Valley Times for a sensational article about our nano Tecopa brewery. It brought new and loyal Pahrump customers alike together just in time to celebrate our second birthday. Since we are in a newly-remodeled space, it was a treat for all this past Halloween!

I would like to start by stating that I am a registered Democrat and have been since 1955. However, I do not vote a straight ticket. I have not voted for a Democratic presidential nominee since JFK. He is the last of the true Democrats. He afforded opportunity to the masses.

My name is Jeremiah Bautista I have been studying energy resources in my science class. I am writing because Nevada uses mainly coal, gasoline, and natural gas for energy sources. The burning of coal, gasoline, and natural gas (as heating and cooking source) and the other two to produce energy causes air pollution emissions, which in turn harms plants, animals, and causes many diseases in humans. Also, these resources are not “native” to Nevada. Natural gas, for example, has to be transported by pipes from Arizona, New Mexico and Wyoming. The same goes for coal; there are no coal mines in our state – again, it has to be carried in trains from Wyoming and Utah. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, Nevada uses natural gas the most—over 250 trillion Btu’s approximately in 2014. I feel that we can do better as a state by encouraging others to utilize other types of energy. As a state, we use these resources like other places and these resources cause a lot of damage to the planet.

With the rising cost of medical insurance and health care, we know that many Americans are struggling. And neither the medical community nor the feds have ever shown the least interest in a nationalized system as provided in Canada, the UK and elsewhere. There may be various reasons for this, but basically, profit consistently Trumps the needs of people. Please forgive my humorless pun.

While November 8th wasn’t a great day for Nevada Republicans, it was pretty sweet for Donald Trump supporters and Nevada conservatives who got a little “payback.”
