Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has informed the Federal Election Commission that buying gifts for supporters from his granddaughter fits within the agency's rules.. I missed the document when it was filed a month ago, but there's no mention in it of Reid reimbursing his campaign for the expenditures, which I disclosed on March 25. That same day, according to FEC records, attorney Marc Elias wrote to the FEC, saying the gifts comport with agency rules. The section cited is this one: Gifts of...
Rep. Steven Horsford has asked Clark County Sheriff Doug Gillespie to look into persistent reports of militia members supporting Cliven Bundy making Bunkerville residents "feel unsafe." Horsford penned a letter this weekend to the sheriff, outlining various concerns by residents he first disclosed last week. The letter is attached.    
      TONIGHT'S RALSTON REPORTS:We'll see. DAYS UNTIL EARLY VOTING BEGINS FOR PRIMARY ELECTION: 26 DAYS UNTIL PRIMARY ELECTION DAY 2014: 43 DAYS UNTIL GENERAL ELECTION DAY 2014: 190       Good morning, everyone. Here’s my movie tip for the week: If you did not see “The Way, Way Back,” check it out. Haven’t seen a sweet movie that good in some time. It’s funny and poignant, with some wonderful characterizations and Steve Carell in a rare...
Good morning, everyone. I was a little disappointed in Jon Stewart’s Bundy/racism take last night, only because it wasn’t long enough! He did say Bundy was becoming a black studies scholar at Duke University – David Duke university, that is. Stephen Colbert spent a lot more time on the latest, quite hilariously. But there ain’t nothing like the real thing, and this morning on CNN, Bundy invoked Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks (as other geniuses such as Michele Fiore have in his honor...
      TONIGHT'S RALSTON REPORTS: Public lands and state vs. federal with NPRI's Geoff lawrence and (we hope) Assemblyman Ira Hansen. DAYS UNTIL EARLY VOTING BEGINS FOR PRIMARY ELECTION: 30 DAYS UNTIL PRIMARY ELECTION DAY 2014: 47 DAYS UNTIL GENERAL ELECTION DAY 2014: 196       Good morning, everyone. The words do not lose their force in the dawn: “I want to tell you one more thing I know about the Negro---they abort their young children---I’ve...
      TONIGHT'S RALSTON REPORTS: Clark County Superintendent Pat Skorkowsky. DAYS UNTIL EARLY VOTING BEGINS FOR PRIMARY ELECTION: 31 DAYS UNTIL PRIMARY ELECTION DAY 2014: 48 DAYS UNTIL GENERAL ELECTION DAY 2014: 197       Good morning, everyone. I don’t expect to retire anytime soon (don’t cheer too loudly), but I did hear something Tuesday that may change my mind. I’m told an interim legislative panel floated the idea (again) of allowing betting...
Good morning, everyone. I’m not sure whether it’s the apex or the nadir of my career, but last night, Sean Hannity let me have it. I’m not sure what I enjoyed more: Hannity’s folks playing the whole rant by me against his irresponsibility, his identifying me as from the Las Vegas Sun (um, not for almost two years) or Fiore saying I’m known as “Jonny Boy” in Nevada. It was as if SNL was doing a parody, except this one was hilarious. (By the way, I think ole Sean forgot I was his hero just a few...
