No one yet has the full story on the infamous June 29 Northwest Airlines Flight #327 from Detroit to Los Angeles, on which thirteen Syrian musicians acted so suspiciously that passenger and WomensWallStreet.com writer Annie Jacobsen feared she was about to be killed by terrorists. The identity of the band remained unknown for a while until I identified them as the backup band for Canaanite crooner Nour Mehana, whom I dubbed the "Syrian Wayne Newton." Regardless of the behavior of Nour Mehana's band, Ms. Jacobsen's story has focused international attention on the very serious issue of terrorists sizing up our...

The people we’ve entrusted to protect our children have once again placed them in harm's way. Washington was arrested on Tuesday and is now being charged with kidnapping a minor, abusing his authority to contact a minor for sex, four counts of child pornography, and three counts of statutory sexual seduction by a person over the age of 21, according to court documents reported by KLAS-TV. Aside from being the head football coach at Valley High School, Washington was also a campus security monitor. He admitted to law enforcement that he had a sexual relationship with the student when she...

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Clark County prosecutors filed a new charge Monday afternoon against the woman accused of sparking a police shooting after that woman exposed herself to reporters in court. Alejandra Boudreaux, 31, appeared in court for the first time Monday on charges connected to a home invasion on Nov. 11. A police officer responding to a 911 call from the homeowner, Brandon Durham, 43, shot and killed Durham as he and Boudreaux struggled over a knife. In court Monday, Boudreaux first mimed to the camera that she was sorry. She then exposed her breast before a marshall removed...

One of the most disturbing scandals of the Hunter Biden saga is the imprisonment without trial of former FBI informant Alexander Smirnov. The Ukrainian-born Israeli-American, who once told his FBI handler about Ukrainian claims of a $10 million bribe to the Bidens, has been languishing in a Los Angeles prison for nine months on charges that he lied to the FBI. Last week, federal prosecutors slapped new tax-evasion charges on Smirnov, 43, which suggests they know their original indictment is too weak for a jury to convict him when he faces trial beginning Jan. 8. Smirnov was one of the...

These TV networks should have learned by now: You don't edit stuff out of sports broadcasts because you send a message that beclowns you. But CBS apparently hasn't learned. On Sunday, in the Las Vegas Raiders game at the Miami Dolphins, tight end Brock Bowers scored on a 23 yard touchdown catch. Raiders Celebrate TD And Trump Dance And he finished it off with a Trump Dance. Not super huge news. The entire football playing world seems to be doing the Trump Dance now. The coolest in the NFL may be the San Francisco 49ers. White guys are doing it....

Senator Ron Johnson is a total gangster. Reporters asked him his opinion on Matt Gaetz, and he unfolded a printout of the picture of Rachel Levine and Sam Brinton and asked reporters whether they harassed Democrats over those nominees

Sen. Ron Johnson pushed back on a reporter’s question about the House Ethics Committee report related to attorney general nominee Matt Gaetz, displaying a photograph of Assistant Secretary for Health and Human Services Rachel Levine, who is transgender, and non-binary former Biden Department of Energy official Sam Brinton. Mr. Johnson, Wisconsin Republican, Thursday unfolded a piece of paper and showed reporters a color image of Brinton, who pleaded no contest to misdemeanor theft charges in a stolen-luggage case at Las Vegas airport in Nevada last year and avoided jail time. The photo showed Brinton and Levine posing together in women’s...

Vem Miller is a registered Republican who tried to present fake VIP credentials at a Trump rally on Saturday and then found himself arrested on illegal firearms charges. The 49-year-old Las Vegas resident describes himself on LinkedIn as an 'investigative journalist' and is the cofounder of what appears to be a fringe, far-right website that vows to 'rage against the mainstream media.' On Saturday, the Riverside County Sheriff claimed Miller was 'probably' seeking to assassinate former President Donald Trump. But a source close to Trump campaign downplayed the threat and told DailyMaill.com that there was no assassination attempt. Miller was...

Record-breaking snow hit areas across the state over the last few days, forcing road closures and keeping some residents of Las Vegas home. It started with light snowflakes: “And then it started piling up more so it kind of shocked me. And to be stuck at home for the first time in a while not being able to get out was kind of crazy,” said Zachary Vigil, a Las Vegas resident. The storm started on Monday producing over 30 inches of snow blanketing parts of Las Vegas leading to hours-long power outages. “We don’t typically see this powerful of a...

In an unprecedented emergency measure, the Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners has suspended the medical license of Dr. Hisbay Ali, a psychiatrist based in Las Vegas. This action was taken due to conduct that jeopardizes public health and safety. The summary suspension order, issued in early October, accuses Dr. Ali of serious professional and legal infractions. According to the board, Ali engaged in a sexual relationship with one patient and unlawfully prescribed a controlled substance to another. Additionally, he failed to report two significant arrests: a domestic violence charge from 2022 and a DUI arrest following a single-car accident...

Things are a-changin’ in Vegas! And dramatically at that! The Las Vegas Raiders announced late Sunday night they have fired their offensive coordinator Luke Getsy after the team got off to a terrible 2-7 start. It was Getsy’s first campaign with the team. Oh, but that’s not all. Las Vegas decided to can their quarterbacks coach Rich Scangarello and offensive line coach James Cregg as well. Scangarello and Cregg were also in their first year with the Raiders. After suffering a dismal 41-24 defeat against the Cincinnati Bengals, the black and silver have now lost five straight games, something the...

The two-time Oscar winner knocked on doors, had lunch with Sen. Jacky Rosen and sat with first-time voters and business owners in the city as part of a Democratic push to get out the vote.With days to go before the election, the push is on from both parties to get out the vote in battleground states like Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. The Democrats and White House hopeful Kamala Harris got a boost in Nevada from two-time Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence, who landed in Las Vegas on Friday for a day of campaign activities that included...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez touted First Gentleman Doug Emhoff as the ideal representation of masculinity at a Las Vegas campaign event for his wife Kamala Harris on Wednesday. “He’s not afraid to embody and pass on these values of security and this idea that you can, you can let your girl shine,” Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) told a room full of students at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, according to the Daily Mail. “And he embodies that really well. We should all be really, really proud of him.” The “squad” member praised Emhoff’s example of masculinity less than a week after a...

During a campaign event less than two weeks before Election Day 2024, Donald Trump invited Vivek Ramaswamy to the stage to speak about him. The move came long after Ramaswamy addressed the crowd in his own speech.

Kamalanomics has made the American Dream of homeownership unreachable for young Americans and families across Arizona. Under Kamala Harris, home prices are up over 32 percent, interest rates reached their highest levels in over 20 years, and mortgage payments hit record highs. Arizona voters know only a return to President Trump's successful economic policies will restore the American Dream, defeat inflation, bring down mortgage rates, and make purchasing a home more affordable. Turning Point is honored to host President Trump in Las Vegas, Nevada to rally support for him in this critical swing state. This is an event for all...

LAS VEGAS, Oct 22, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - Las Vegas market worker Maria Salinas believes Democrats have failed their traditional Latino supporters for too long, and -- like many others in this key voting bloc -- is ready to vote for Donald Trump for the first time. "I think Trump can change things a little," she said, speaking to AFP at the juice stand she runs in the electoral battleground state of Nevada. The Democrats offer "promises and promises... but nothing changes for us," said Salinas, whose relatives have been waiting for years to receive the legal right to move to...

Updated, 4 PM, 10/22/24 Good afternoon, blog mates. Here’s your stat for the day: In the 15 rural counties, in-person voting, which is about 37 percent of the rural vote, the Rs lead the Ds by 73 percent to 11 percent. I kid you not. In rural mail ballots, the Rs lead the Ds by a wide margin, 46-28, but those in-person numbers are startling. They account for about 8,000 of the Rs nearly 12,000-votes lead in the rurals, which are punching above their weight with 13 percent of the vote (nearly 3 points above their percentage of reg voters)....

Vice President Kamala Harris is facing possible “serious danger” in Nevada as Republicans have opened what amounts to an unprecedented-in-modern-times lead in early voting over Democrats. Jon Ralston of the Nevada Independent, reporting on the early vote numbers showing a GOP lead, flashed the warning to Democrats late Monday evening out west. Ralston noted that since the rise of the political machine that the late former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid built for Democrats this has never happened. “Republicans lead statewide in Nevada after three days of early voting and mail ballot counting,” Ralston wrote in a blog post on...

Updated, 10 PM, 10/21/24 Good evening, blog mates. The headline: Republicans lead statewide in Nevada after three days of early voting and mail ballot counting. This has not happened in a presidential year in The Reid Machine Era, which encompasses the races since 2008. This could signal serious danger for the Dems and for Kamala Harris here. It's pretty easy to explain: The Clark firewall has all but collapsed (it's 4,500 votes) and the rurals are way overperforming their share of the electorate with what has been tabulated, nearly by 4 points -- almost all taken from Clark's share. The...
