Ah, the noble U.S. Senator Catherine Cortez Masto from Nevada. Once hailed as a beacon of hope for the downtrodden, now stepping into the mire of bureaucratic horse-trading to defend the sanctity of government data against Elon Musk. What a turn of events. The Marxist shill and her gaggle of 26 fellow Senators have come…

Here’s the latest installment of “Things You Thought Couldn’t Happen, but Here We Are.” The Nevada Department of Agriculture (NDA) says avian flu—bird flu—has somehow made its way into the dairy cattle of Churchill County.

It was a dreary Tuesday afternoon—so unremarkable that even the weather seemed too disinterested to participate. The sun barely peeked through the clouds, as if it too had pressing business elsewhere. Inside Joe’s Discount Grocery, a beacon of mediocrity and freezer-burned ambition, Earl Thistlebottom was plotting the world’s least inspired criminal escapade. The enterprising fellow,…

CARSON CITY, Nev.—Joe Lombardo sits in the governor’s chair in Nevada. The trouble is, you wouldn’t know it unless you checked the stationery. He’s there, alright—hollow-eyed, pen in hand, signing vetoes like a bored substitute teacher crossing out wrong answers on a multiple-choice test. But governing? That’s a different matter entirely. See, Lombardo’s got a…
