Miracles occurred – prayers were answered. On Wednesday, The Gateway Pundit shared this article from JoeHoft.com about how an Obama Judge denied Nevada Judge Michele Fiore a new trial. Fiori was targeted because of her actions during the Bundy Ranch Standoff years ago. On Thursday, Judge Fiore was pardoned by President Trump after he reportedly read this article. Here is Judge Fiore's pardon: Judge Fiore shared the following message: PUBLIC STATEMENT FROM JUDGE MICHELE FIORE “No weapon formed against me shall prosper.” — Isaiah 54:17 Today, I stand before you — not just as a free woman, but as a...

With Valero announcing the pending closure of one of its two remaining California refineries, the state will lose at least 18% of its current refining capacity by the end of 2026. Because California is an “energy island,” meeting demand for California and the parts of Nevada and Arizona that rely on its refineries will require costly imports of volatile fuel by emissions-heavy tanker ships. California Gov. Gavin Newsom has long blamed rising gas prices on refiners’ “price gouging,” but even though his own administration has said that it has no found no evidence of such, he called a special legislative...

A bombshell report from the America First Policy Institute has exposed a staggering $100 million in foreign dark money laundered through the Sixteen Thirty Fund to bankroll radical ballot initiatives across 25 states. The Sixteen Thirty Fund, a notorious hub for progressive causes, has been caught funneling foreign cash into state ballot measures targeting divisive issues like abortion, election law, and drug policy. According to the America First Policy Institute: Non-citizens can influence U.S. elections and domestic policy through donations to ballot initiatives. Instead of the ballot initiative process being decided by state residents who are affected by the result,...

Delaware’s new Governor has dismissed Texas and Nevada's attempts to steal companies incorporated in The First State. Matt Meyer, just two months into office, has already made significant changes to the state's corporate laws, including limiting shareholders’ ability to sue company founders. The rapid changes are an attempt to stem the tide of companies leaving Delaware to incorporate in other states — dubbed 'Dexit' — but critics argue it merely makes the state friendlier to billionaires. Tesla threatened to leave the state when Tesla was sued over the hefty pay package for Elon Musk. More than 60 percent of the...

On Monday, U.S. District Court Judge Anne Traum lifted the 1991 injunction barring enforcement of Nevada’s requirement that parents be notified when their minor children seek an abortion. In a 27-page decision, Judge Traum ruled in Glick v. Ford that the parental notice provision will go into effect on April 30. Melissa Clement, Executive Director of Nevada Right to Life, which provided vital financial support for the litigation, said “For 40 years, young girls have been exploited in secrecy, their suffering ignored while those in power turned a blind eye. Today, that silence is broken. Parents will finally be involved,...

The American people are left in the dark on a whole host of things. Sadly, it’s almost become commonplace. So, when a major catastrophe occurs, we’re usually getting half-truths, scripted responses, and total political spin jobs. Or hey, sometimes we get absolutely nothing, like what went down in Las Vegas when a supposed “lone gunman” opened fire on country music concertgoers. Actually, we recently published an interesting update on that very story and shared more of the coverup with our readers, thanks to investigative work from an independent journalist: ‘They slaughtered us like fish in a barrel’—citizen reporter exposes Vegas...

Sheriff Kevin McMahill said Wednesday that he has turned down numerous requests from “various different federal agencies” to use the Metropolitan Police Department for immigration enforcement outside the agency’s limited role at the Clark County jail. “And I just won’t do that,” McMahill told the Las Vegas Review-Journal, adding that his agency doesn’t have the resources to do so. “I’ve got a lot going on when it comes to crime here,” he added. He noted that crime has continued to decrease in the last three years. As President Donald Trump’s administration moves to fulfill his campaign promise of carrying out...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont - champions of the left - repeatedly targeted President Donald Trump and his billionaire ally Elon Musk as they kicked off a three-day swing through three electorally important western states. But Sanders, and especially Ocasio-Cortez, also trained some of their fire on the Democratic Party, with the best-known member of the so-called "Squad" of diverse and progressive House members urging her own party to have "the courage to brawl" against Republicans. And Sanders and Cortez took to the stage at their first stop in Las Vegas, Nevada, while...

Authorities say multiple cars were set on fire at a Tesla service center in Las Vegas Tuesday Morning

A version of the H5N1 bird flu virus that killed a person in Louisiana and severely sickened a teenager in Canada has now been detected in dairy herds in Nevada. The version, known as D1.1, is circulating in wild birds around the nation — causing massive die-offs in places such as Chicago, upstate New York and Ohio. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service confirmed the finding Wednesday. It’s different from the version circulating in dairy cows, which has caused only relatively mild illness in humans, although it has killed scores of domestic and wild cats....

Sometimes, government makes a bad bet. Case in point: the Ivanpah solar project. Maybe you’ve seen the unsightly, blindingly bright towers while traveling from L.A. to Las Vegas, in the Mojave Desert near the California-Nevada state line. Maybe you’ve read about birds getting fried to death as they fly through the sunlight directed to the tops of the towers by fields of mirrors.

High-speed rail proponents who look forward to the bullet train connecting Southern California to Las Vegas may get sticker shock from the initial ticket prices.

President Trump said the U.S. could possibly eliminate the federal income tax if his tariff plans work out as intended. "If the tariffs work out like I think, a thing like that could happen, if you want to know the truth," he said. "Years ago, 1870 to 1913, we didn't have an income tax. What we had is tariffs." Trump also said the additional IRS agents the Biden administration hired could potentially move to the border.

President Donald Trump visited a craps table at the Circa Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, and was welcomed with chants of “USA! USA!” after delivering a speech on his no tax on tips policy agenda. In a video posted to X by Margo Martin, the Special Assistant and Communications Adviser to Trump, a crowd on the casino floor could be heard chanting “USA! USA! USA!” as Trump is walking into the room. In another video posted to X, Trump was seen stopping “by a Craps table” at the casino and interacting with people at the table.

President Trump will venture into deep-blue California on Friday for a closely-watched visit that could determine disaster aid for the state and how Trump will work with Democratic governors throughout his four years in office. Trump’s trip to fire-ravaged Los Angeles comes after he traded barbs with California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D). The president will also make trips to North Carolina, which was hit hard by Hurricane Helene, and to Nevada, two states he won in November. The trip to Los Angeles also marks a big moment for Newsom, who has been floated as a potential 2028 contender but who...
