Animal traps be illegal on public lands, and Nevada should increase the gaming tax to hike education spending, according to Bryce Henderson.
It’d be nice if the media defended the NRA as fiercely as they defend MS-13. Last week, President Donald Trump hosted a summit with California law enforcement officers to discuss the dangers the state’s “sanctuary” policies.
It only took four years of cover-ups and two students alleging physical assaults, but the Clark County School District is finally doing the right thing about Jason Wright.
Often what a candidate won’t say is more telling than what they want to talk about. Consider Democrat gubernatorial frontrunners Steve Sisolak and Chris Giunchigliani.
Throwing and hitting a child with a desk hard enough to leave a bruise isn’t a firing offense at the Clark County School District — if you’re the husband of the school board president.
When it comes to being extremely liberal, Giunchigliani has a 30-year head start on Sisolak. He’s hoping a few million dollars in advertisements can close the gap.
A first-year teacher at the Clark County School District will make $15.25 an hour — just in benefits. Teachers at the top of the pay scale make over $100 an hour in pay and benefits.
Congress should ban semi-automatic weapons, and the U.S. should have remained in the Iran deal. Obamacare contained significant advances, and Congress should fix it, not repeal it. That’s according to Regent and Congressional District 4 Democrat candidate Allison Stephens.

Records, including police body camera footage, from the October 1 tragedy should be released immediately. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department needs to be more transparent and more gun control isn’t needed to increase security on the Strip. That’s according to sheriff candidate Tim Bedwell.
A fifth-grade student says Jason Wright, a Clark County School District teacher and the husband of Board President Deanna Wright, kicked and yanked him in early March.
Last Thursday, Trustees held a press conference and demanded that Gov. Brian Sandoval call a special session to provide money for teacher raises. District officials used outright falsehoods to make their case.
Unless it involves killing unborn children, liberals aren’t much for choice these days. Consider what’s happening to Alfie Evans in England, which is even more a lefty paradise than California.
