Ladies and gentlemen, gather ’round and hearken to the latest yarn spun from the bustling workshops and gilded ledgers of Comstock Inc., the enterprising outfit that has turned refuse into riches, waste into wealth, and, if we are to believe their grand proclamations, has a mind to set the very laws of nature on their…

Well, here we go again, folks. Attorney General Aaron Ford, a man who presumably collects paychecks from the fine people of Nevada, has once more saddled up with a posse of Democratic attorneys general to do battle—not for his constituents, mind you, but for the cause of keeping Uncle Sam’s payroll fat and happy. This…

The morning started like any other—coffee thick as tar, dust in my teeth, and the same Mustang that had carried me across more miles than I cared to count. She was a fine little horse, as firm as a rancher’s handshake and twice as honest. Never spooked, never faltered, never let me down. Then, in…

There is a peculiar way of handling justice up in Storey County, and if you ain’t familiar with it, let me explain: it’s a system so finely tuned that the innocent can be locked up before they’ve finished explaining themselves while the guilty strut about unbothered, tipping their hats to the sheriff as they pass.…

In a move that might make even the most seasoned politician raise an eyebrow, Nevada Assemblymembers are asking Governor Joe Lombardo to give a second chance to those unfortunate federal workers fired by the Trump administration. The request comes in the form of a letter penned by Speaker Steve Yeager, Speaker Pro-Tempore Daniele Monroe-Moreno, and…

No Real Danger Found Dusty as Dayton may be, and where the biggest threat to one’s peace of mind is the occasional tumbleweed drifting by, an incident has stirred the pot. A young scholar, perhaps influenced by too many adventure novels or an overactive imagination, found themselves with a “kill list”—the sort of thing one…

A Grand Exchange of Leprechauns Ever the land of bold enterprise and creative economics, Nevada has set its sights on a new and exotic trading partner: Ireland. Yes, that misty emerald isle where poetry flows like whiskey and the cows outnumber the citizens. Speaker Steve Yeager and Assemblymember PK O’Neill, struck by a fit of…

Ain’t this a curious tale straight out of a dime novel—except it’s all too real. Picture this: a fella by the name of Jairo Paredes-Cota, a 41-year-old teacher with a rather unsavory reputation, was apprehended by U.S. Marshals and ICE on Thursday in Reno as if he were a runaway horse caught in a corral.…

It was inevitable, I suppose. You don’t dive into the shark-infested waters of journalism without expecting to come out a little chewed up, and this time, I got the treatment: a pink slip, a half-debouched editor howling in some ancient, forgotten dialect, and an office chair sailing through the air like a demented frisbee. Fired.…

If there’s one thing a ballplayer hates, it’s scraping by on a narrow margin. The Douglas Tigers must have had that thought in mind when they took the field against Fernley on Thursday, leaving no doubt as they ran roughshod over the Vaqueros in a blistering 12-2 victory. The Tigers’ bats, which had been relatively…
