It is so easy to lead people down paths they never thought they’d walk. For instance, take these Indian Hindu devotees smeared with colors as they visit the Nandagram temple, famous for Lord Krishna and his brother Balram, during Lathmarholi festival, in Nandgaon, India. It’s innocent enough, as there is nothing wrong with a person…

“Some dogs cannot hold their licker,” goes the old joke. All kidding aside, Nevada State Senator John Settelmeyer has introduced a bill allowing individual bar owners admit dogs into their establishment if they’d like too. At present, Nevada laws forbid dogs in bars or restaurants unless they’re service dogs. “Fundamentally,” said Settelmeyer, “…it comes down to…

Following up on my story, “Behind the Use of Reno, Nevada’s Police Officers in Ukraine,” the city council voted to have Reno Police Chief Steve Pitts bring home the five police officers sent to Ukraine. The officers traveled to the embattled country last month to train officers in Kiev under a U.S. Department of Justice program.…

First, a little history… The U.S. declared war on Spain in April 1898. It would be the first overseas war fought by our nation, involving campaigns in both Cuba and the Philippine Islands. Following the end of the war, another conflict began, this time between the Moro and the U.S. which also took place in…

Okay, I stand corrected. By his own description President Obama repeatedly identifies the terrorist group threatening the Middle East as Islamic. In fact, Obama makes a point of using a very specific term for these ‘radical Islamists’ — ISIL. “…We are here at this summit because of the urgent threat from groups like al Qaeda…

Clutching her husband’s dog tags and holding back tears, Chris Kyle’s widow said she wished he was with her as she walked the red carpet at the Oscars for “American Sniper.” Taya Kyle said her husband would be ‘blown away’ by the support the film has received and that he would be his ‘usual humble…

“Here they defended themselves to the last, those who still had swords using them, and the others resisting with their hands and teeth,” wrote Greek Historian Herodotus of the Spartan defeat at Thermopylae. It’s hard not to draw a comparison between the Battle of Thermopylae where Xerxes I of Persia led an army of 70,000 soldiers…

“Here in America,” President Obama said, “Islam has been woven into the fabric of our country since it’s founding.” Islam had nothing to do with the founding of the U.S. Judeo-Christian values are what built the fabric of this nation. In order to back up his statement, he added: “The first Islamic center in New…

Not too far from the Steamboat Ditch Trail, east of Reno, Nevada, is a remnant of the U.S. Postal Service’s history. It’s a concrete slab in the shape of an arrow critical to the cross-country delivery of mail for the U.S. Air Mail Service in the 1920s and ‘30s. There were no good aviation charts in…

Its par-for-the-course that Rudy Giuliani is being lam-based in the Progressive media for saying, “I do not believe, and I know this is a horrible thing to say, but I do not believe that the president loves America.” Meanwhile, no one in that same Progressive media has dared criticize Obama for claiming, “Here in America,…
