Good morning, everyone. You won’t hear me say this often, but the RJ PAC perfectly captured the Ira Hansen story and his sad victim act with this paragraph in today’s editorial: “Actually, it has everything to do with his views. And power matters. When Hansen had no power, when he was in the Assembly’s minority, outside leadership, his opinions had no influence on state policy. Once someone seeks or gains greater power, they can expect more attention and more vetting.” Indeed. As one GOP...
      TONIGHT'S RALSTON REPORTS: The Bob councilmen on the soccer stadium saga DAYS UNTIL THE GREATEST LEGISLATIVE SESSION EVER BEGINS: 70 DAYS UNTIL THE 2016 election: 715       Good morning, everyone. It happened early Sunday morning (there goes my weekend catch-up slumber), and The Ira Era was over before it started, with him playing the victim and still enabled by fools and knaves. And within an hour after Hansen informed the caucus, Michele Fiore was answering the question: What is...
Good morning, everyone. The Ira Era has had a somewhat inauspicious beginning. After sounding pragmatic on my program and privately to others, and having separated himself from the well-known clan that has always seemed far out of the mainstream, that Dennis Myers piece has made Speaker-Designate-but-not-yet-Speaker Ira Hansen into a national laughingstock.

      TONIGHT'S RALSTON REPORTS: Reaction to POTUS speech DAYS UNTIL THE GREATEST LEGISLATIVE SESSION EVER BEGINS: 74 DAYS UNTIL THE 2016 election: 719       Good morning, everyone. You can’t get a much better guest at your re-election kickoff than President Obama. Harry Reid is a lucky guy as he declares his intention to seek a sixth term Friday at Del Sol High School, reaching out to Hispanics, whom he hopes can help save him. Again. It was nice of the president to come, too. The Sun’s...
      TONIGHT'S RALSTON REPORTS: POTUS to visit on immigration reform DAYS UNTIL THE GREATEST LEGISLATIVE SESSION EVER BEGINS: 75 DAYS UNTIL THE 2016 election: 720       Good morning, everyone. First, let me apologize for the last three days of tardy Morning Flash delivery. I know it has ruined yourmornings, made you seem somehow empty. Imagine how frustrated I am with tech failures. Makes me even more curmudgenonly (scary thought). The good news (I hope) is that I have switched companies...
