Good morning, everyone. So in one interview, who could display a palpable disdain for the president of the United States, call a congresswoman "a thoughtless pawn" who is not honest, intimate the Senate majority leader cares more about his office with three fireplaces than doing what's right for America, imitate the southern accent of a former (and future) congresswoman and call a former president a liar? And that's just the beginning! I had an exclusive, one-hour sit-down this week with...
Welcome to The Weekly Report. In this edition, my weekly column focuses on the race for Nevada's newest congressional district. I also provide you premium subscribers with exclusive details of a new poll and a sneak peek at my hour-long interview with Steve Wynn. And I also have the regular State of the Races feature.
MY COLUMN--THE STATE OF PLAY IN CD4
One month before a critical congressional election in a district where Democrats dominate, the party has to be worried.
Not one...
The Culinary union has scheduled a show of force in downtown Las Vegas on Oct. 13 to protest what it says are Glitter Gulch casinos not meeting their demands on a benefits package.
The demonstration coincides -- although the union says it is a coincidence -- with the Rediscover Downtown celebration. I am sure businesses and The First Family are thrilled.
The labor organization is asking Strip employees to sign up for the "Strip Properties Adopt Downtown Hotels" protest, scheduled from 11 AM to...
That headline whet your appetite?
Well, that's all you are getting for now, folks. And that's just the beginning of an hour-long interview I had this week with Steve Wynn, who ratcheted up his anti-President Obama rehtoric (think Dinesh D'Souza), went after Rep. Shelley Berkley with a renewed vehemence and essentially said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid squandered an opportunity to make deals with the House because of his fealty to the president and desire to remain majority leader.
There's...
During a debate in 1998, a veteran Nevada incumbent could barely hide his disdain for his aggressive opponent on stage with him.
He seemed aggrieved to even have to be there, could not conceal his air of superiority and eventually wondered aloud how his challenger, a veterinarian, thought he could interpret the Constitution if he spayed cats and dogs for a living. This reductio ad absurdum epitomized the frustration a U.S. senator named Harry Reid felt that night 14 years ago as he tried to...
A conservative group is using this morning's jobs report to start robocalls in Nevada's two competitive congressional districts.
The Congressional Leadership Fund calls assailing John Oceguera and Steven Horsford use some recent comments by Vice President Biden to tie the Democratic contenders to administration policies.
Here's the script:
With just 114,000 jobs added, it’s yet another failure of policies supported by Obama and John Oceguera.
But we don't need a jobs report to know that these...
Ex-UNLV basketball player Greg Anthony stars in a new Mitt Romney ad, claiming he voted for Barack Obama, but was disappointed the president didn't turn out to be a centrist.
Anthony's ad comes after he already has acted as a surrogate for the GOP nominee.
I've obtained the entire 89-page decision from the National Labor Relations Board that affirms a year-old decision from an administrative law judge, who found scores of violations by Station Casinos against workers at their properities interested in affiliating with the Culinary Union.
The end of the decision, posted here, finds the company "engaged in certain unfair labor practices," demands it "cease and desist" and then issues a lengthy order telling Station Casinos not to threaten or...
