So Mark J. Bird, a professor at the College of Southern Nevada, decided to shoot himself in the arm to protest President Trump (“CSN professor facing gun charges,” Wednesday Review-Journal). Is this supposed to make the president resign his office? Has he heard of voting?
NV Energy is killing me with my electric bill. In my business, I have the freedom to purchase from the most competitive vendor on price, except for electricity. For my home and business, there’s no choice at all. I have to pay whatever NV Energy decides and put up with whatever quality service they deliver. The bills have been so ridiculous that I asked them to come to my house to see why it was so much. They set an appointment — and never showed.
I, and I’m sure thousands of other Nevadans, would like a few answers to a few questions of this newspaper.
President Trump takes credit for a good U.S. economy. Just last week in a speech, President Obama took credit for getting the good U.S. economy started.
The RJ printed a story Saturday (“Roundtable focuses on criminal justice reform”) in which Eric Holder tells us “tough on crime” reforms foster disrespect in our justice system. Turn that around, and he is saying if we are “weak on crime,” criminals will respect the justice system.
In response to Michael Ramirez’s Sunday political cartoon against Nike, in the 1960s and 70s. the flag was burned, made into clothing and flown upside down. We survived and maybe became stronger as a country. The flag is a symbol of freedom, not freedom itself. By the way, my father was career military.
Twenty-one years ago, my wife and I transplanted from Minnesota to Las Vegas. We still liked to follow the Minnesota Vikings and were looking forward to Sunday’s season opener. At kickoff, my wife mentioned that there was no national anthem. That was the end of our watching the opener.
So let me get this straight. Nevada Question 3 will end Nevada’s Soviet-era energy monopoly and demand the creation of energy markets giving energy consumers the freedom to chose among all the different forms of energy available. Sounds good to me.
The withholding of records regarding Judge Brett Kavanugh’s previous work brings up a serious transparency issue for any potential nominee (“Noisy hearing for Kavanaugh,” Sept. 5 Review-Journal). Transparency and accountability are a must for any Supreme Court nominee, no matter what political affiliation. All of a nominee’s records should be made public.
Trish Marsh took Tick Segerblom’s name and made it into a crude insult (“Strong language in race for commission seat,” Sept. 5, Review-Journal). This is undignified, vulgar and unprofessional. It shows she is not the caliber of person who is suitable for the Clark County Commissioner.
In response to Commissioner Chris Giunchigliani’s idea of increasing the size of new home backyards (“Builders bash bigger-backyard plan,” Tuesday Review-Journal), I live in an older part of town where my backyard would meet the larger standards. But in my area, the value of homes and property is under the median price of a new single-family home.
Nike’s latest advertising campaign features a face photo of national anthem protesting ex-NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick along with the phrase, “Believe in something. Even if it means sacrificing everything.”
Thank you, PETA, for saving those animals from the boxes of Animal Crackers. But now I’m a little nervous: What will happen to me if I eat them? Should I lawyer up?
