TIM BURKE: More government contol means less freedoms

“Socialism” is a political ideology that gained political prominence during Bernie Sanders’ two failed campaigns to be the Democratic party candidate for president.

His proposed policies emphasize reversing economic inequality.

CHUCK BAKER: Land, Land, but not an inch to spare

“Don’t Fence Me In” was a popular song in the 1940s. Some might say it could be today’s theme song for Nellis AFB. Between all the land held in Nevada by the local air base and the Bureau of Land Management, it appears that control over boundaries and borders will be with Silver State entities for quite some time. And not just in the south.
