SILVER STATE CONFIDENTIAL 04/13/2015

LET ME BE CLEAR OK, I’ve finally cleared out the back-orders of my new, block-buster Obama book, “Let Me Be Clear: The Greatest Accomplishments and Most Significant Successes of America’s First Half-Black President” and a new shipment just arrived.  But DON’T judge a book by its cover.  “Let Me Be Clear” is actually the Ultimate Obama Insult! CLICK HERE to find out why and how to get your own copy today. AX THE TAX NOW, “MAGGOT”! Wow.  When I closed out the online “Ax the Tax Now” petition this afternoon, over 800 people had co-signed it.  That’s four times the number of people we usually get on letters such as this! CLICK HERE to read the full resolution, as well as see the “who’s who” list of Nevadans who have declared, in no uncertain terms, that Gov. Brian Sandoval’s tax hike – and any other mutated versions of it – are NOT supported by grassroots conservatives and Republicans. As I noted in yesterday’s “Last Call” Brushfire Alert, I will be driving up to Carson City tonight and will hand-deliver copies of this resolution, complete with everyone’s name who co-signed it, directly to every GOP legislator’s mailbox. Now get this… In response to yesterday’s email alert, Assemblyman Chris “Let’s Make a Deal” Edwards (RINO-Clark County) “pulled a Hickey.” As you might recall, former Assemblyman Pat “The Appeaser” Hickey responded to one of my emails RSVP’ing to a caucus event a couple years ago with a rather snarky comment that I was banned from attending. Only, the note wasn’t meant for me.  It was meant for the event coordinator. In fact, I never should have received it. You see, Hickey hit the “Reply” button instead of the “Forward” button before sending.  DOH! As such, I learned what a two-faced, fork-tongued hypocrite he really was. Well, Edwards pulled a similar boner yesterday.  He meant to forward my email to someone else with a snarky response, but hit “Reply” instead.  As such, I received the following message that the Cowardly Weasel clearly never intended for me to see… “Great, so Chuck will be in the halls of Carson city Mon.  How should I greet the maggot?” “Maggot”!  Is that great, or what?  I’m not known as the #1 Irritator of Liberals for nuthin’! Edwards’ constituents should be so proud.  Indeed, I can only imagine how he refers to THEM behind THEIR backs. In any event, to help clear up the freshman RINO’s confusion, I responded… “On bended knee, of course. What a silly question.” And what an idiot. Of course, we shouldn’t exactly be surprised.  The boy never has been the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree. Indeed, I’m told that at a 5th-grade geography bee Edwards was asked, “What’s the capital of Wisconsin.”  Edwards’ response: “W”? And the beat goes on… RALSTON RANTS On Friday, the Las Vegas Review-Journal ran a story written by Sean Whaley which referred to Jon Ralston as a “political blogger.”  And based on Ralston’s tweet responding to the story, “Jonny Boy” was more than a little irritated by the “blogger” depiction.  But as I’ve been pointing out here in my own little way, Ralston ceased being a professional “journalist” long ago and now is really nothing more than a liberal blogger with a taxpayer-subsidized TV show that no one watches.  He’s a political activist – nothing more, nothing less. Oh, how the mighty have fallen. GOP MUTANT TAX HIKERS Liberal GOP Assembly Half-Majority Leader Paul Anderson and liberal GOP Assembly Higher-Taxation Chairman Derek Armstrong have introduced a mutant tax hike that combines the worst aspect of Gov. Sandoval’s Billion Dollar Tax Hike – a new gross receipts tax added to the state’s existing business license tax – with the worst tax you could possibly have in a jobless recovery, the state’s Modified Business Tax that hits the state’s largest employers with a penalty/tax for every employee they hire. This isn’t dumb and dumber.  It’s stupid and stupider. Yet according to Nevada’s #2 liberal blogger-with-a-taxpayer-subsidized-TV-show, the GOP Mutant Tax Hike is being supported by trucking industry lobbyist Paul Enos, demonstrating once again that business lobbyists are not conservatives, but political opportunists perfectly willing to screw somebody with higher taxes to fund bigger government… As long as it’s not their own clients. DRIVE-BY MUTHINGS AB405 is a bill that simply says the parents, or at least a court, must be advised before an underage girl can get an abortion.  Considering the fact that the same girl needs to get an OK from her parents before the school nurse can give her a Midol for cramps, this is a common sense bill.  Yet the left is having cow over it.  Go figure. I wonder how long it’ll be before liberals start demanding that all abortions be performed in transgendered bathrooms?
