If anybody is wondering why the Raiders can’t seem to figure out the COVID guidelines, there is a very simple answer: They probably do understand them, but they just think the rules don’t apply to them.

Why you ask? It’s very simple. During the spring months, while (almost) everyone was in full shutdown mode, our governor decided that continuing construction on the new stadium was essential. So while businesses all around the country were forced to shut down, work would have to continue for the team. The players and staff probably saw what was happening and figured the rules don’t apply to them. I was thinking the same thing.

Hertz has a division that sells used rental cars to consumers. Its price on used Teslas is around $25,000. Most are Model 3 sedans from 2022 and 2023.

My view is there are still many decent Republicans who are possessed of conscience and competence who are not Trump cultists.

Red Rock Canyon is a fragile natural wonder. To claim that 3,500 homes and the traffic that goes with them, and changing the nature of the watershed, will not negatively impact the area is absurd.

The Bureau of Land Management should keep all the land it controls, and our city, county and state governments should pass legislation to restrict new housing.

It’s strange that the mainstream media are treating Russian combat ships miles off the Florida coast as nothing to see here.

Mr. Trump would have not won if his affair with Stormy Daniels had been made public after the “Access Hollywood” tapes in which Mr. Trump brags that he grabs women by the genitals.
