“Don’t blame me, I voted for Hamas.”Elias Rodriguez opened fire outside the Capital Jewish Museum, killing two, a soon to be engaged Israeli couple, and wounded two others, but few media outlets reported his political orientation and his background. Or the outpouring of support from the anti-Israel Left. In 2023, stickers reading “Exterminate Zionists” and the name of the Party for Socialism and Liberation appeared at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Rodriguez had been a member of the affiliated University of Illinois at Chicago and had been a member of the Party for Socialism and Liberation. According to Rodriguez’s manifesto,...

The Washoe County Republican Party kicked out County Commissioner Clara Andriola on Monday night. “Andriola has intentionally and willfully failed to uphold the Republicans and the Republican brand in her official capacity by predominantly voting with the Democrats on the Commission,” said a resolution voted on by the county Republican party’s central committee during a meeting at Boomtown casino. Republican Gov. Joe Lombardo appointed Andriola to the commission in April, replacing Vaughn Hartung after he was appointed to lead the Nevada Transportation Authority. Andriola told the RGJ on Tuesday that she’s baffled by the resolution. “I don't understand why they're...

The Fox News Decision Desk can project that Sheriff Joe Lombardo, a Republican, will become the next Governor of Nevada. He has unseated Democratic incumbent Steve Sisolak. The economy and inflation, education, crime, and the governor’s performance in dealing with the coronavirus pandemic were key issues in the gubernatorial campaign. Sisolak was elected governor in 2018 after spending nearly a decade as a Clark County Commissioner. Lombardo, after serving more than two decades in the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, was elected Clark County Sheriff in 2014. Clark County covers just 7% of the Nevada’s land area, but holds nearly...

RCP has called Nevada for Lombardo.

One of America’s most contested midterm races, between Adam Laxalt and Catherine Cortez Masto, is coming to a head in Nevada. As of Thursday morning, Republican Mr Laxalt maintained a slight lead over Democratic incumbent Ms Cortez Masto in the Senate race with just over 79 per cent of votes counted, according to the New York Times. The race could still be subject to substantial shifts as two counties with the vast majority of voters - Clark and Washoe - continue to tabulate mail-in ballots late into Wednesday night with large margins for Democrats, according to the Nevada Independent. Those...

Former President Donald Trump released an ad urging voters to support America First Republican candidates to “help save America,” just days before next week’s midterm elections. The video starts with audio of Trump saying that next week’s election is a “referendum” on President Joe Biden, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D), and Democrat Senate Leader Chuck Schumer (D).” “The radical left Democrat Congress is destroying our country,” Trump said. “You’re going to elect an incredible slate of True America First Republicans up and down the ballot.” The video displayed text encouraging voters to vote Republican while the montage of Trump’s audio...

Nevada Republican U.S. Senate candidate Adam Laxalt and gubernatorial candidate Joe Lombardo are narrowly leading their incumbent Democrat opponents with the help of independent voters, a new Insider Advantage poll found. Roughly two weeks out from election day, Clark County Sheriff Lombardo (48.5 percent) is leading Silver State Gov. Steve Sisolak (D) by 6 points (42.8 percent), outside of the survey’s ±4.2 percent margin of error. Former state Attorney General Laxalt is also leading Sen.

The Nevada Police Union (NPU) said its members “overwhelmingly” have “no confidence” in Democrat Gov. Steve Sisolak, who is seeking reelection against Republican Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo. The NPU, which says it is the Silver State’s largest police union, held a vote with its members from Oct. 14 -17 resulting in “95.3 percent (451-22) of the voting members declaring ‘No Confidence’ in Governor Sisolak,” the union announced on Tuesday. The police union’s announcement comes just days after Sisolak lost the endorsement of a top teachers union and just weeks before a high-stakes, extremely close gubernatorial election.

Stumping in one of the key battleground states — Nevada — former President Donald Trump made a call for Republicans to vote in the midterms to stop the reign of "radical left Democrats.""Thirty-one days from now the people of Nevada are going to fire your radical Democrat Gov. Steve Sisolak — shouldn't be there," Trump told his Save America rally in Minden, Nevada, which aired live Saturday night on Newsmax."You are going to defeat your extreme left-wing senator, not respected at all in Washington, D.C.; Catherine Cortez Masto hasn't done a thing on the border. Hasn't done a thing."You're going...

Nevada Republican Gubernatorial candidate Joe Lombardo posted a political advertisement to Twitter on Thursday, detailing various scandals involving Democrat Gov. Steve Sisolak. “Northshore Steve is the most corrupt governor in America. Nevada, we deserve better than Steve Sisolak’s corruption, cronyism, and scandals,” Clark County Sheriff Lombardo said of the vulnerable incumbent.

Democrat super PACs are posing as Republicans and spending millions of dollars in Nevada’s Republican gubernatorial primary in an attempt to prevent former President Donald Trump’s pick, Joe Lombardo, from becoming the GOP nominee. Clark County Sheriff Lombardo, whom Trump recently endorsed, is now leading the Nevada GOP gubernatorial primary by 20 points less than one month away from the state’s June 14 primary election, according to a recent poll.

One of those candidates, former Sen. Dean Heller (R), lost a reelection bid despite being endorsed by Trump in 2018.

It is hard to remember any modern criminal investigation that was botched as badly in its public communications as the investigation into the Las Vegas massacre has been. The Orlando shootings were a mess, but at least investigators into that terrorist attack had a timeline nailed down within about 48 hours of the incident. The same was true of the San Bernardino terrorist assault – within a few days of that mass murder, law enforcement appeared to have the salient facts of the case pretty well nailed down and communicated to the public. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for...

Metro officers deal with large crowds all the time, but nothing like this. The crowd included former military men and ex-cops, people with various motives, their fingers poised just above the triggers of powerful weapons. With so much firepower in so many hands, a small incident could have set off a bloodbath and left nearly two dozen officers dead. Assist. Sheriff Joe Lombardo:"We were outgunned, outmanned and there would not have been a good result from it." I-Team reporter George Knapp: "A lot of scenarios could have played out that would have left a lot of dead officers." Assist. Sheriff...
