North Las Vegas Mayor Switches To Republican Party Over Democrats’ Progressive Lurch. Watch them try to cancel him, next.
“Here in Nevada, we’ve seen the full takeover of the Democratic Party by admitted socialists,” Lee said. “I will not let the America I love be hijacked by an extremist left-wing mob that blacklists, bans, shouts down, and cancels anyone who disagrees with them,” Lee said.
NextView to acquire Lithium X Energy Corp. It appears China may be buying up our lithium via Canada so they can sell it back to us. Shades of Uranium One.
Lithium X Energy Corp. is a lithium exploration and development company with a goal of becoming a low-cost supplier for the burgeoning lithium battery industry. The Company holds two projects in in the prolific “Lithium Triangle” in mining friendly Salta province, Argentina as well as participating in the Clayton Valley in Nevada through its ownership interest in Pure Energy Metals Limited (“Pure Energy”).
In Nevada, the Company consolidated its Clayton Valley holdings with those held by Pure Energy, in the process becoming Pure Energy’s largest shareholder, holding approximately 19% of Pure Energy’s outstanding common shares.

Unemployment in Nevada hovers around the 14.5% mark, so the state’s senior senator has decided that the its one flourishing business should be punished.
The Associated Press has the details:
U.S. Sen. Harry Reid took aim at the world’s oldest profession Tuesday, telling state lawmakers the time has come to have an adult conversation about Nevada’s legal sex trade if the state hopes to succeed in the 21st century.
The Democratic Senate majority leader’s comments before a joint session of the Legislature came as owners, lobbyists and working girls for Nevada’s brothel industry looked on from the gallery.
Reid, who won re-election to a fifth term in November, focused his speech on the job creation efforts in a state hard hit by the Great Recession.
Harry Reid’s proposal was greeted by silence…
No one should be surprised that the proposal was greeted by silence. Wouldn’t you also be stunned into complete silence if you heard Harry Reid discussing sex?
We’ve also heard reports that the complete silence was broken by the sounds of violent retching.

Just when the latest Rasmussen poll showed Harry Reid climbing within three points of his Republican opponent, the doddering old Democrat went out and said something guaranteed to send his poll numbers in the opposite direction.
Just when the latest Rasmussen poll showed Harry Reid climbing within three points of his Republican opponent, the doddering old Democrat went out and said something guaranteed to send his poll numbers in the opposite direction.
Believe it or not, he told KLAS-TV reporter Nathan Baca that no illegal aliens are working in Nevada’s construction industry.
Baca: Why didn’t you allow for a vote?
Reid: That’s the reason we need to do comprehensive immigration reform. We cannot do it piecemeal.
Baca: You go to the unemployment office, though, and there’s many US citizens who are unemployed construction workers and they don’t have specific jobs because, right now, some of those construction companies find it easier to hire undocumented workers.
Reid: I think that any information you have in that regard is absolutely without foundation
Baca: We told Senator Reid of a Pew Hispanic Center study showing 17% of all construction workers are here illegally.
Reid: That may be someplace, but it’s not here in Nevada.
Baca: But their latest 2009 numbers show that Nevada is the state with the highest percentage of unauthorized immigrants in the labor force.
Amazing, isn’t it, that someone who opposes the Second Amendment was so quick to pull out a gun and shoot himself in the foot.
We just have one question for Harry: If there are no illegals working in Nevada’s construction industry, how do you explain those lunch wagons pulling up at construction sites while playing La Cucaracha?
You know things are going poorly for Harry Reid when his son Rory, who’s running for governor of Nevada, won’t use the family name in his campaign.
You know things are going poorly for Harry Reid when his son, who’s running for governor of Nevada, won’t use the family name in his campaign.
Reid has become a four-letter word in Nevada, so Harry’s son has scrubbed it from his commercials, his ads, and his website. He’s no longer Rory Reid. He’s become just plain Rory. One name. Rory.
This is, after all, Las Vegas. That one name affectation worked out pretty well for Cher, Liberace, Sigfried & Roy and Liza, but odds are Rory won’t be as lucky.

Republican Brian Sandoval now leads Rory Reid by 21 points in Nevada’s race for governor, but even embattled GOP incumbent Jim Gibbons has moved into a virtual tie with the Democratic hopeful.
The morning of November 3, 2010 will not be a happy one in the homes of any Nevada Democrats cursed with the last name Reid.
Rasmussen reveals the sad news for Harry Reid’s son Rory:
Republican Brian Sandoval now leads Rory Reid by 21 points in Nevada’s race for governor, but even embattled GOP incumbent Jim Gibbons has moved into a virtual tie with the Democratic hopeful.
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of likely voters in Nevada shows Sandoval, a former state attorney general and judge, now leading Reid 55% to 34%. A month ago, the GOP frontrunner was ahead by 18 points, 53% to 35%. Six percent (6%) prefer some other candidate, and four percent (4%) are undecided.
But Reid also now trails his two other top GOP rivals. His father, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, continues to struggle against his three top Republican opponents in the state’s U.S. Senate race.
Mike Montandon, the mayor of North Las Vegas, posts a 45% to 38% lead over Rory Reid, currently chairman of the influential Clark County Board of Commissioners. Given that match-up, nine percent (9%) like some other candidate, and eight percent (8%) are undecided. In March, Montandon had a 42% to 37% lead.
Gibbons, whose unpopularity is attested to by the challenges for the governor nomination within his own party, now edges Reid 45% to 43%, after trailing the Democrat by eight points a month ago. Eight percent (8%) want some other candidate, and four percent (4%) are undecided.
Nice to see that Rory Reid is following in his father’s footsteps.

Sad news coming out of rural Nevada this morning. America’s first legal male prostitute has given up after just two months on the job because he’d had fewer than 10 customers. Is Bart Stupak available to replace him?
Sad news coming out of rural Nevada this morning. America’s first legal male prostitute has given up after just two months on the job because he’d had fewer than 10 customers.
The Associated Press fleshes out the details of the failed flesh trade:
Brothel owner Jim Davis said Friday the Shady Lady Ranch had parted ways with the “prostitude” who worked under the name Markus.
A replacement has been hired, but Davis hinted it was possible that Markus, a 25-year-old Alabama native, could be back.
“I don’t know, he hasn’t told us yet,” Davis said.
The tiny yellow brothel is 150 miles northwest of Las Vegas.
Markus, who like other sex workers has asked that his real name not be used, didn’t immediately respond to an e-mail message seeking comment.
We’ve heard rumors that the unnamed replacement is none other than Michigan Democrat Bart Stupak. He’s a natural for the job because he’s proven that he’s completely immoral and willing to sell himself if the money is right.
And considering that Stupak is currently a United States Congressman, the job is definitely a career enhancement.

When was the last time you saw a state’s largest newspaper eviscerate a powerful, influential politician as thoroughly as the Las Vegas Review-Journal gutted Harry Reid on Sunday?

Their relationship has been rocky for years. But Harry made the mistake of telling the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce that he hopes the Review-Journal goes out of business. The paper responded with a scathing editorial:

Looks like cowardly Harry Reid, the Senate majority leader who was so quick to declare that we’d lost in Iraq, may soon need to declare another defeat – his own.
Looks like cowardly Harry Reid, the Senate majority leader who was so quick to declare that we’d lost in Iraq, may soon need to declare another defeat – his own.
Here’s how the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports the results of its latest poll:
It’s the highest stakes ever for a Nevada election, and former boxer Sen. Harry Reid is on the ropes early. Either Republican Danny Tarkanian or Sue Lowden would knock out Reid in a general election, according to a recent poll of Nevada voters.
The results suggest the Democratic Senate majority leader will have to punch hard and often in order to retain his position as the most accomplished politician in state history, in terms of job status.
Nevadans favored Tarkanian over Reid 49 percent to 38 percent and Lowden over Reid 45 percent to 40 percent, according to the poll.
Reid’s status makes him an icon of the Democratic Party and ties him to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and President Barack Obama, both of whom are losing ground among centrist and right-leaning voters in the country.
Looks like it won’t be long before Harry can return to his beloved Nevada and his even more beloved crooked real estate deals.

Harry Reid called in reinforcements at his fundraiser Wednesday night in Las Vegas.
Here’s how the Huffington Post described the event:
“So, yesterday, the first big political fundraiser of the year was held here at Caesars Palace to kick off Reid’s reelection campaign. Bette Midler, Sheryl Crow, Rita Rudner and Clint Holmes entertained. But the big draw was President Obama.”
Sounds fabulous. Nevadans must have turned out in droves to see President Obama and all those world class entertainers. Tickets must have been hard to come by.
Or maybe not. Here’s the next paragraph from HuffPo:
“At any rate, the fundraiser was a great success. (Even though a limited number of tickets were given away by a business called House Seats that is utilized by local venues to ensure a full house.)”
To repeat, they had to give tickets away because they couldn’t sell ’em. An empty room would given visual evidence of Reid’s shaky grasp on power.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal quotes a Republican on Reid:
“‘Frankly, it speaks to the Democrat Leader’s deep unpopularity at home that he is already calling in reinforcements from Washington to help boost his sagging approval numbers in Nevada,’ Brian Walsh, a spokesman for the National Republican Senatorial Committee, said in an e-mailed statement Tuesday. ‘Once again tonight, Harry Reid is simply reminding Nevadans that he’s more in touch with the Democrats in Washington than with the voters in his state.'”
It may be true that Harry Reid is completely devoid of personality and popularity. But in his defense, we don’t think Jesus Christ could draw a full house in Vegas if Midler and Crowe were his opening acts.
The President flew to Nevada on Wednesday. While he was there, he gave a rousing speech highlighting a new report on his “stimulus” bill entitled “100 Days, 100 Projects.”
It was a fine speech. Some called it poetic. Others called it an empty promise.
Because, unfortunately, not one of those 100 projects happens to be in Nevada.
Oopsie.

Harry Reid looked stupid three times in one news conference on Tuesday. And that’s not a smart thing to do on a day when a poll showed he’s unlikely to be re-elected by Nevada voters.
First, when asked if Teddy Kennedy’s cancer was in remission, Reid answered, “As far as I know, it is, yes.” A Kennedy spokesperson declined to comment, the classic form of denial in Washington, DC.
Then Reid noted that Senator Robert Byrd would soon be released from the hospital. A Byrd spokesman later said, “…his doctors, in consultation with his family, have not yet determined when he will be released.”
Finally, Reed didn’t know his own party’s position on Gitmo detainees. “Part of what we don’t want is them be put in prisons in the United States,” Reid said. But that differs significantly from what the administration has said.
When asked if President Obama’s position put his Democrat colleagues in an awkward position, Reid said, “Not at all.” But when Reid’s second-in-command, Senator Dick Durban was asked the same question, he clearly contradicted his boss and answered, “Yes.”
Reid’s errors came on a day when a poll showed that only 35% of Nevada voters would vote to re-elect him.
According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, “Nearly half of Nevadans have had enough of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid as the powerful Democrat heads into his re-election campaign, a new Las Vegas Review-Journal poll finds.”
“About a third of the state’s voters would re-elect Reid if the 2010 election were held today, according to the poll, but 45 percent say they would definitely vote to replace him. Seventeen percent would consider another candidate.”
So even though Harry screwed up, the voters got it right.
Earlier this year, the President Obama told an Elkhart, Indiana audience, “You can’t get corporate jets. You can’t go take a trip to Las Vegas or go down to the Super Bowl on the taxpayer’s dime.”
Nevada Governor Jim Gibbons fired back on Tuesday after Obama declined an invitation to meet with Gibbons and the state’s business leaders.
“I am disappointed at the hypocrisy shown by this Administration,” Gibbons said. “President Obama is coming to Las Vegas later this month for a political fundraiser, but he will not help the struggling families in Las Vegas and Nevada who are out of work because of his reckless comments.”
“President Obama is coming to Las Vegas to raise campaign cash for Senator Harry Reid, apparently our money is good enough for the President, but our tourism, jobs, and economic future are not.” Gibbons added, “This is politics, pure and simple, President Obama stood for change, but all he has done is brought negative economic change to Nevada.”
Since Obama’s comments, the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority has lost more than 400 conventions and meetings, costing Vegas in excess of $100 million.
We say keep President Obama out of Las Vegas. The way he’s been going, he’d might be tempted to head for the roulette tables and put all the stimulus money on red.
What the hell, his odds of success are probably higher than the way he’s gambling it all away now.

Ross Miller, Nevada’s evil Republican Secretary of State, has filed 39 criminal complaints against ACORN. What’s that? He’s a Democrat? Well, that’s pretty damn inconvenient.
In Clark County alone, ACORN registered 91,000 people but 50% of them couldn’t be verified. The typical percentage of unverifiable voter registrations is just 2%.
Miller appeared on Glenn Beck’s show and said, “We’re just trying to send a strong message that we won’t tolerate these kinds of fraudulent practices in the future.”
“When we executed the raid on the ACORN headquarters here in Las Vegas we came across thousands of pages of documents, emails,” Miller continued. “Within those documents we found their company policy directive that outlined for their employees the fact that they were required to meet certain quotas and that these employees were expected to turn in 20 registration forms per day. Otherwise they’d be terminated.”
“We think that the case is very strong,” Miller added. “It’s a very thorough investigation that we’ve had almost a year now in place showing that they were compensating their individual canvassers based on the total number of people registered which is a felony in this state. We’ve filed 39 counts. I think they’re going to have a difficult case to make to the twelve jurors who will ultimately hear this.”
There’s an old saying that a man should be judged by the company he keeps. Our President keeps the company of ACORN.
‘Nuff said.
