What Works: Post-Parade Lesson is to Leave No Trace

The principle of Leave No Trace is in use on trails, in the public parks system. It’s also one of the 10 Principles of Burning Man. This weekend, after the Nevada Day festivities, record amounts of trash laced our streets. I can’t ignore this fact. When a person has a voice and an audience, I believe it is their personal responsibility to speak up. So, this week, in a personal and business context, I want to talk about what it means to Leave No Trace.

Please Elect Maurice White for Supervisor, Ward 2

Thank you all who have voted for new representation for Supervisor, Ward 2. If you haven’t yet voted I hope you will carefully consider your options. I will bring a diverse blue collar point of view that will help our Board of Supervisors make better decisions.

I understand our City’s issues. We are not meeting our obligation to provide the basic life and safety services our residents expect and deserve. Our Sheriff and Fire Chief have issued statements expressing their concerns. Various department leaders have remarked about insufficient budgeting.

Measuring Liberty and Libertarians

Libertarian votes for Hillary

The corrupt Clinton criminals are repeating this strategy of divide and conquer again in this election and every voter should understand that any Republican vote for third parties helps insure victory for the lollipop guild Hillary who is as intelligent, and honest, as she is tall. The Clinton's crime family rose to power using the divide and conquer assistance of Ross Perot. The Clinton's can win again with only a minority of votes because many voters split the electorate three ways.

Who's the responsible choice for Assembly 40?

I attended all the pre-election forums at the BAC performance hall, and found myself a little bit confused by Republican Assembly candidate Al Kramer's position on background checks for non-FFL firearm purchases. At the forum, I thought I heard Al say he supported universal background checks, by which I assume he meant that he'd be willing to vote for such a bill were he elected as our Assemblyman.

Column: Question 2 not all it’s cooked up to be

To legalize or not to legalize, that is the question we must answer on Nov. 8.

Or, is it?

I’ve taken my time this year to deliberate over the matter of recreational marijuana legalization — in spite of my general instinctive opposition to mind-altering substances — consulting with area experts on drugs and drug policy.

Following hours of interviews, reading and research, my conclusion is that there is something more sinister at stake here over Question 2 than simply the legalization of an illicit drug.

Measuring Nuclear Insanity

The Alarm Clock of History

The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists indicates the doomsday clock is only three minutes left before nuclear war. There has never been a more dangerous time of nuclear confrontation than today. The administration has pursued the Obama/Hillary/Kerry policy of War Through Weakness rather than the Reagan Peace Through Strength policy that won the cold war. The question for a Hillary voter is; Will Mrs. Clinton sell the rest of our uranium just to earn another big payday for Bill from our enemies?

Carson City Save Mart stores, Red Cross team up to collect cash for Little Valley Fire victims

Save Mart stores in Carson City and one Reno store have launched a donation campaign through the American Red Cross to aid victims of the Little Valley Fire in Washoe Valley.

Measuring Lawless unConstitutional Insanity

Since the rise of the Clinton and Obama Regimes, the Constitution has been shredded by the office of the President. The Congress and the Supreme Court neither has the will nor the majorities needed to reign in the unconstitutional acts of the socialists who are subjugating our constitution and our nation. Foreign interests and money have flooded into our nation usurping the power of the people to rule their own nation.

Measuring Socialist Insanity

The question for a Hillary voter is; Have you learned nothing from eight years of Obamanation socialism and how can another four years of the same failed socialist squandering of taxpayer money ever change anything? Does anyone really believe that socialism will work if we squander more tens of trillions of taxpayer money? In 3700 years of recorded history socialist ideologies have been repeatedly tried and always resulted in the destruction of a nation followed by mass murder from tyrannical dictators. Socialism is slavery.

Adele's Celebrity Chef and Harvest Dinner to Benefit the Greenhouse Project

Tickets are now on sale for the annual Celebrity Chef and Harvest Dinner, which takes place Nov. 7 at Cafe at Adele’s. This is one of three fundraisers conducted each year for The Greenhouse Project, whose mission it is to continue “growing a greener and healthier community,” according to Karen Abowd, board president, who co-owns Cafe at Adele’s with her husband, Chef Charlie Abowd.

Measuring Feminist Insanity

A recent left wing CNN poll indicates that Trump is fifteen points above Hillary on the issue of trust. Some feminist organizations are generating the old divide and conquer smear campaigns to argue that the laws broken by the Clinton crime family should be ignored because Trump's politically incorrect genitals are not to be trusted. This argument makes about as much sense as suggesting that men and women need different forums such as 'women to women' or 'man to man'. This is the disreputable strategy of divide and conquer to pretend that men and women share nothing in common.
