On Wednesday, Biden was scheduled to deliver the keynote at the UnidosUS annual convention at the MGM Grand, with thousands in attendance anticipating his arrival. With the venue located right off the Las Vegas Strip,...

Holy Sh*t. According to Charlie Kirk and his sources, when Biden was in Vegas last week - he suffered a medical emergency. USSS personnel informed LV Metro to shut down roads to move POTUS to University Medical Hospital. Then there was a stand down order mysteriously given to local PD, and that they were going to “medivac” POTUS across the country to John Hopkins in Baltimore. WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THIS COUNTRY!?

A bombshell new poll has predicted which presidential candidate will win the election based on a 'no tossup' electoral map. RealClearPolitics showed Trump taking multiple swing states in the Rust Belt region - in addition to one that hasn't been nabbed by a Republican in decades. The map shows Trump winning in Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and even Virginia. Biden won Virginia in 2020 by 10 points and no Republican has taken the state since former president George W. Bush did so in 2004. The RCP map shows that, as of late July, Trump will win the election 325-213...

Kamala Harris has suffered a blow in a poll that looked at how alternative Democratic candidates would do in swing states. There have been calls for U.S. President Joe Biden to be replaced as the Democratic candidate since the world watched his poor performance in his debate with Donald Trump on June 27. Many have assumed the vice president would be the obvious choice, but a new poll shows she doesn't fare as well as others, and she wasn't among the four who performed best. Analytics company BlueLabs carried out research to determine who would increase the number of people...

In May 2008, 57-year-old Sharon Causse was fatally shot in what appeared to be a home invasion after returning from a date night with her husband Thomas Randolph. Randolph told police in Las Vegas that he found her dead and then shot a masked intruder, claiming he acted in self-defense after the intruder killed Sharon, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.

But Sharon’s murder...

The Heritage Oversight Project has identified three swing states – Georgia, Nevada and Wisconsin – where they believe removing Biden from the Democratic ticket would prevent anyone else from replacing him. Wisconsin does not allow withdrawal from the ballot for any reason besides death, while in Nevada, no changes can be made to the ballotafter 5 p.m. on the fourth Friday in June of an election year unless ‘a nominee dies or is adjudicated insane or mentally incompetent.’ In Georgia, if Biden were to withdraw less than 60 days before the election, his name would remain on the ballot but...

The Democratic Party is facing a potential crisis. Following Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance against Donald Trump, concerns about his fitness to serve have intensified. The debate has left the party in a state of panic, with whispers of Biden stepping down becoming louder. It has always been the plan from the start, which is why they scheduled the debate for this year unusually early. However, it may already be too late to remove Joe Biden from the ballot.

Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas is not waiting until after the presidential election to launch a bid to put one of former President Donald Trump’s ideas into effect.

The authorities determined the environmental impact of the monolith’s presence by considering the potential effects on the surrounding ecosystem. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) stated that the monolith was removed due to public safety and environmental concerns.

AS VEGAS (AP) — A strange monolith found jutting out of the rocks in a remote mountain range near Las Vegas has been taken down by authorities. How it got there is still a mystery. “It remains unknown how the item got to its location or who might be responsible,” Las Vegas police said Friday in a series of posts on X announcing the removal of the glimmering, 6-foot-4 prism.

So shiny. Not aliens. Image credit: LVMPD 2020, it's fair to say, was an odd year. With a pandemic moving across the world and all the life changes that involved, it's easy to forget smaller stories, like that weird few months when monoliths started popping up around the world like Starbucks, sometimes containing cryptic messages. Well, good news if you missed it, because they are back and doing what they love; randomly appearing in deserts. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department stumbled across one such "mysterious monolith" last weekend. The new monolith looks a lot like the old monoliths. Image...

A Nevada state court judge dismissed a criminal indictment Friday against six Republicans accused of submitting certificates to Congress falsely declaring Donald Trump the winner of the state's 2020 presidential election, potentially killing the case with her ruling that state prosecutors chose the wrong venue to file the case.

"The judge got it wrong and we'll be appealing immediately," Ford told reporters...
