Free Republic

One of the primary roles of our state legislatures and the various secretaries of state around the republic is to ensure the validity of our elections. A primary part of making such an assurance is to make sure our voter registration rolls are accurate and up-to-date and only include those who are legally entitled to vote. There have been, in recent years, many efforts to do precisely this, and it speaks volumes that there is always one party in favor of ensuring our voter registration rolls are accurate and valid - and the other party is against any such efforts....

Treasurers and state financial officers representing 14 states sent letters Monday to Costco, Walmart, Kroger, Albertsons, and McKesson calling on C-suite leaders to resist political pressure to begin selling the chemical abortion drug mifepristone at their pharmacies. The letters were signed by state financial officers of Texas, Alaska, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming.

In this video we read from "Life Among the Piutes: Their Wrongs and Their Claims," by Sarah Winnemucca Hopkins, published all the way back in 1883. This tells of the Pyramid Lake War that broke out in 1860 between the Piutes and the white settlers near Genoa, Nevada.

LAS VEGAS, Nevada — The annual leadership meeting of the Republican Jewish Coalition kicked off Wednesday amid speculation that more Jews could vote for former President Donald Trump over concerns about Israel and antisemitism. The gathering, which typically draws hundreds of donors and activists, as well as politicians and candidates, is being held in September this year, rather than in the winter, to have the biggest possible impact at the start of the fall campaign season. American Jews vote overwhelmingly for the Democratic Party, and align themselves with the political left. (Jews in other countries, including Israel, tend to favor...

Tuesday on FNC’s “Hannity,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) called Democrat vice-presidential nominee Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) “despicable” for taking a pass on responding to a question on the six slain hostages in Gaza. “So when you look at Israel in particular here, this administration has withheld armed shipments, and they haven’t gotten much especially compared to — especially compared to Ukraine,” host Sean Hannity said. “She — they have constantly called for restraint, restraint, restraint. They have blamed Israel, and they’ve done everything but what they should do, and that’s the right thing which say which would say, well, you...

On Monday afternoon, Burning Man’s exodus line snaked for miles through the Black Rock Desert, but a raging dust storm often prevented drivers from seeing more than a few cars in either direction. Updates to Burning Man Traffic’s account on X suggested wait times of between 4 and 6 hours for much of the day, but that was only from “Greeters to blacktop.” Getting to the Burning Man staff at the event’s perimeter was an hours-long endeavor in itself, as the line was backed up all the way into Black Rock City and moving at a glacial pace. I had...

LAS VEGAS (AP) • A Las Vegas-area elected public official was arrested Wednesday as the suspect in the fatal stabbing of a veteran newspaper reporter whose investigations of the official’s work preceded his primary loss in June.

An elected official who allegedly murdered an investigative reporter in Las Vegas will remain in office for months and still get paid while he sits in prison. Clark County Public Administrator Robert Telles was denied bail last week after he was charged in the stabbing death of Jeff German, a Las Vegas Review-Journal journalist who had been probing Telles’ alleged misconduct in office.

The former Nevada politician who was accused of fatally stabbing a Las Vegas investigative reporter after a series of critical stories was found guilty of murder Wednesday in a trial that highlighted concerns around press safety. Telles, a 47-year-old former Clark County Public Administrator, had pleaded not guilty to murder with use of a deadly weapon in the September 2022 death of German, a longtime Las Vegas Review-Journal reporter. Prosecutors alleged Telles killed German because he was angry about the reporter’s articles exposing turmoil in his little-known political office and was concerned about another upcoming article. Telles wore a disguise...
