The only thing worse than Mitch McConnell is Mitch McConnell smiling. Because you know he's done something corrupt. He should be buried in a Confederate general's uniform.
Can’t wait until Mitch McConnell tries explaining to Kentucky farmers why growing tobacco (zero medicinal benefit/just straight killing people) is more beneficial to the state than growing marijuana and selling it to more progressive states.

Nevada GOP gubernatorial candidate and Sheriff Joe Lombardo has only himself to blame for the position he was in Friday as former President Donald Trump called Las Vegas a cesspool of crime. You were warned, sheriff.
University of Nevada grad, Nevada Assemblyman (1969-73), Nevada State Senator (1973-78), Nevada Attorney General (1979-83), Governor of Nevada (1983-89), and US Senator for Nevada (1989-2001) Richard Hudson Bryan was born on Jul 16, 1937 in Washington, DC.
I am more of a tempura shrimp killing kind of guy, but the wonton soup killing bowl with the fried rice and Mongolian beef and snow pea gets me every time.
A's Team is getting asked hard questions tonight in Senate. Despite best efforts, the flaws in the stadium plan are showing. They aren't making a sound argument for need or benefit, and the "deal" feels more like a slapdash hustle than something the community can get behind.
BREAKING:

A great friend of Nevada and of all people has died. Harriet Trudell rose from poverty in Florida and Alabama to activism at the highest levels in Nevada's Democratic party. Please celebrate her life. Please remember her cause.
Think of so many friends and family members at Mt. Charleston after the devastating fire at the lodge, where we all met for so many years for drinks and meals and community events. So many good times there.
It was good to be on
@MSNBC
this morning to discuss the life and legacy of Nevada political titan Harry Reid. From Searchlight to the US Senate, it's still hard to imagine.
Devastating witness in January 6 committee hearing today recalls Bundy standoff as preview of far-right militia/insurrection. He was right, as I address in my book Saints, Sinners and Sovereign Citizens.

“For too many Americans, Memorial Day has just become just another day off,” Andy Rooney said in 2005. “But the men, boys really, who died in our wars deserve at least a few moments of reflection during which we consider what they did for us: They died.”
So glad they rushed to fire Dave Rice, a very good coach, great role model and loyal Rebel. All those involved in that horse manure decision -- including the pushy boosters who can't stop whining about the good old days -- ought shut up and munch their popcorn.
Sad to hear Hae Un Lee, the founder & CEO of Lee's Discount Liquor, has passed away. Mr. Lee launched the company in 1981, just a year after immigrating to the US from South Korea, and eventually turned it into one of the most successful retailers in the Las Vegas Valley. RIP
Analogy: Mueller gives us a slice of bread, puts ham on it, and then another slice of bread. We say that's a ham sandwich. Mueller says I didn't make a determination whether or not it's a ham sandwich because I was instructed I can't call it that.
It's still a ham sandwich.
I knew him when he was a sports tout conman, before he slithered up to Adelson and charmed him so. The newspaper that should have been mortified to have him in its pages shares in this shame.
Man who capitalized on hysteria after the Oct. 1 shootings here (blamed ISIS) and was doing the same during this pandemic (faux virus cure) lost his high-profile gig w/Adelson's paper (where he was a geyser of garbage) and is being admonished by NY AG.

The Clark County Republican Party has a Saturday fundraiser at the "Lincoln-Douglass Day Brunch" at the Suncoast featuring top Trump insider David Bossie. The invitation includes a pic of Frederick Douglass. Uh, Stephen Douglas debated Lincoln.
Statement from
@GovSisolak
on death of Harry Reid:
"From humble beginnings in Searchlight, he became one of the state’s most powerful and fiercest advocates in Washington, DC."
Harry Reid is remembered tonight as a pugnacious political figure who fought for Nevada on a national stage. He also managed to keep his family together (thanks to wife Landra) and took time in recent years to celebrate his friends and supporters from Henderson.
Nye County district attorney Chris Arabia is calling on the state Attorney General to review and investigate evidence against Nye Commissioner Leo Blundo for possibly falsifying COVID relief fund applications.
Republicans revel in chiding President Biden's memory. After listening to

Thunder on the Strip. A major casino executive gets skewered in a deposition, accused under oath of things that will surely challenge his license. More to come.
Happy Opening Day. Got so excited I dug out an old baseball jersey from, gulp, more than 25 years ago. Baseball is timeless. Baseball players, not so much.

Of Rats and Men: Oscar Goodman's Life from Mob Mouthpiece to Mayor of Las Vegas. In researching this book, I often met Oscar early at his office before court and clients intervened. He was remarkably generous with his time. An education for me.
