SILVER STATE CONFIDENTIAL 08/24/2014

BLOCKED!

I’m not called Nevada’s #1 irritator of liberals for nothing!

First, as we all know, Jon  Ralston, Nevada’s #2 liberal blogger, is a…liberal. 

And in yesterday’s Silver State Confidential I laid a little smackdown on the prima dona after he hand-carried Democrat attorney general candidate Ross Miller’s water this week in the form of a leaked document showing brutally critical raw notes from a two-year-old performance evaluation of Adam Laxalt, Miller’s Republican opponent.

Now, here’s the thing…

When Ralston broke his story on Twitter – ‘cause no newspaper in Nevada carries his columns any longer - I learned of it from someone else who forwarded it to me because I stopped “following” Ralston on Twitter about two months ago.  I mean, let’s face it, the guy is entirely predictable, a tool of the left and the GOP establishment (but I repeat myself) and, frankly, boring.


But he does like to use fancy multi-syllable words to try and impress people with his intellect.  And it’s worked on some liberal inside-the-beltway media types in Washington, DC who think Jon is a god. 

Alas, many of his media colleagues here in Nevada who actually know him think he’s a jerk.  But for professional reasons, they aren’t able to say so publicly.

But back to the story…

Yesterday afternoon, after giving Ralston that e-wedgie in Silver State Confidential, I checked in on his Twitter feed to see if the twit had read it.  And sure enough, it appeared so.  Here’s the tweet the twit published…

“Have not employed the wonderful BLOCK option enough, have let my OCD get best of me and engaged. Time for new motto: Ignore the Trolls.”

Could I have irritated the liberal laughingstock so much that he “blocked” little ol’ me from “following” him even though I stopped “following” him two months ago?

Yes, indeed! 

When I tried to again “Follow” Jon just to see if it was me he wrote about, sure enough this message popped up…

“You have been blocked from following this account at the request of the user.”

I am SO honored! 

I’ve now been “blocked” by two liberals: Nevada’s #2 liberal blogger and the Republican candidate for lieutenant governor, Mark Hutchison, whose water Ralston carried in the GOP primary race against Sue Lowden.

Speaking of which…

FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF “WITH FRIENDS LIKE THESE”

Has anyone seen the strong statement of continued support that Hutchison has issued for his embattled fellow Republican candidate?  ‘Cause if such a statement has been issued, I didn’t get it.

And while we’re at it, where’s the “We’re 100% behind Adam Laxalt” press release from Republican Senate Majority Leader “Moderate Mike” Roberson and Republican Assembly Minority Leader Pat Hickey.  Their silence is deafening.

But nowhere near as deafening as the silence coming out of the governor’s office!

Indeed, Gov. Brian Sandoval (R&R-Advertising) is the party’s supposed titular head and is, indeed, running in November on the top of the GOP’s ticket.  The Laxalt brouhaha broke last Wednesday night.  It’s now Sunday morning.  And all we’ve heard from the guv about his fellow Republican and attorney general running mate is crickets.

And it’s not like he’s completely disengaged in Nevada for some reason.  Indeed, after the Las Vegas team lost in yesterday’s final game of the Little League World Series (more on that below), the governor tweeted, “We love you Mountain Ridge!”

So, um, where’s the “We love you Adam Laxalt!” tweet, Governor?

Something tells me Lt. Laxalt felt far more secure in a foxhole in Iraq than he does right now with Sandoval, Hutchison, Roberson and Hickey watching his back on Nevada’s political battlefield!

Shameful.

Speaking of which…

RACE HUSTLIN’ AT THE LITTLE LEAGUE WORLD SERIES

I have to admit, I didn’t pay any attention to this year’s Little League World Series until the Las Vegas team made it to the championship game yesterday afternoon. 

I tried to find it on my iPhone while sitting on the beach here in San Diego without luck.  So I did the next best thing: I found the Little League World Series twitter feed and just kept refreshing it to get scores and updates.

Which got my blood boiling!

Tweet after tweet after tweet kept coming in from people rooting for the Chicago team.  Why?  Not because they were from Chicago.  But because every kid on the team was black!

That’s right.  The liberal race hustlers in America even ruined a little league baseball game by making it a black/white issue.  Sickening and shameful.

So here’s my question…

If it was okay to root for the Chicago team simply because every kid on the team was black, does that mean it was okay to root AGAINST the Chicago team simply because every kid on the team was black?

What?  If you did that you’d be a racist?  Really?  You mean there’s a double standard on race in this country?  Who knew?

And since I’m on a "shameful" kick this morning…

HIP PREZ TELLS MEMBERS TO DROP DEAD

This Las Vegas Review-Journal headline that came into my email box yesterday afternoon caught my attention: “Nevada Hispanic group endorses Teijeiro over Titus.”

“An influential Hispanic group on Saturday announced it endorsed Republican Dr. Annette Teijeiro over U.S. Rep. Dina Titus, D-Nev., delivering a blow to the incumbent in the 1st Congressional District,” wrote reporter Laura Myers (who Ralston now despises because Myers referred to him as a “blogger” in a Laxalt story earlier in the week).

I guess it really isn’t too much of a surprise that Hispanics in Politics endorsed the young Hispanic candidate over an old, lily-white candidate – I mean, that’s the way race politics is played. 

But with a huge voter registration advantage in the district, the HIP endorsement is anything but a “blow” to Titus’ campaign.  Teijeiro has no chance in this district unless Titus gets indicted for something.

And even then.

But that wasn’t the real story in the story.  Indeed, once you got past the Teijeiro/Titus non-story in the opening paragraph, you learned of what should have been the lead in the story.  Get this…

In Nevada’s 3rd congressional district race – pitting white Republican Rep. Joe Heck against white liberal Democrat Erin Bilbray-Kohn – the Hispanic members of Hispanics in Politics voted to endorse Heck. 

A reasonable and responsible decision since Heck, as a member of the majority party in Congress, has been vocal in advocating for reasonable and responsible immigration reform that includes tougher border enforcement with no amnesty.

Nevertheless, we learned in the story that Fernando Romero – a Hispanic race hustler and president of the organization – unilaterally overrode the endorsement vote of his membership!

“We cannot see why we should endorse a man that does not support the wants and the needs of the Hispanic community,” Romero declared, equating “amnesty” with “wants and needs.”

“We’ll be endorsing Erin Bilbray.”

Seriously.  You are NOT reading this wrong. 

The members of Hispanics in Politics voted to endorse Heck.  But Romero and his “We Know Better” board told their members to pound sand.  They’re giving Bilbray-Kohn the nod no matter what the organization's members “want and need” because…well, I guess because that’s what Harry Reid wants.

Shameful.
