Wes Duncan is running for Washoe County DA. It is put to me that he raised $400K under the false pretense that he was going to run for Attorney General. Whomever is his consultant is ripping him off. Wes himself is aligning with the lunatic fringe too so I guess we...

There’s an old political line that keeps coming back like a bad sequel Hollywood refuses to stop making: “It’s the economy, stupid.” Not messaging. Not narratives. Not whatever buzzword the consultants are charging $50,000 to workshop this week. The economy. And...

Ah yes—the “Deep State.” That mythical creature we were all told didn’t exist… your intrepid blogger even laughed at some that talked about it. Then, it started showing up in headlines, investigations, leaks, and conveniently timed “anonymous sources.” Funny how...
