In a quaint little town where the fences were low,
Lived a kitten so curious, with places to go.
Through a crack in the fence, she crept with delight,
And discovered a puppy, a marvelous sight!

With wagging tails and curious eyes,
They greeted each other with joyful cries.
They romped and they played both sun and rain,
Their friendship bloomed, oh, what a gain!

When the clouds rolled in and the raindrops fell,
They sought shelter in the dog’s cozy shell.
In her little house, snug as could be,
They laughed and they played, so wild and free.

But as days turned to months and months to years,
Their bond grew stronger, allaying fears.
The puppy grew tall, a dog so fine,
While the kitten matured, his fur so divine.

No longer confined by the fence’s plight,
The young dog leaped over, a magnificent sight!
Into the kitten’s world, they explored anew,
In the yard and the garage, their adventures grew.

Yet whispers arose, from others around,
Cats and dogs, they were not to be found.
“You can’t be friends, it’s just not right,”
But they ignored the words, shining bright.

For friendship knows no bounds, no rules to obey,
In the garage, they frolicked, come what may.
Their love endured, through storm and weather,
Proving that friends, they can be, forever.

So let them say what they will, those naysayers’ cries,
For the kitten and dog, they’ve uncovered the prize.
In a world filled with doubt, they’ve shown it true,
Cats and dogs, friends forever, through and through.

Washoe County Commission Chairwoman Alexis Hill has stirred another controversy by unilaterally canceling the upcoming Tuesday, March 12, county board meeting, citing a scheduling conflict due to her role as Chairwoman of the Tahoe Transportation District.

Despite the availability of a quorum for the meeting, Hill instructed County Manager Eric Brown to reschedule two upcoming meetings due to her commitments. Insiders within the county government are expressing outrage, suggesting that Hill’s cancellation was motivated by the anticipation of a significant presence of homeless advocates and related organizations planning to protest a proposed ordinance banning living in cars on public roadways.

Supported by Washoe County Sheriff Darin Balaam and already adopted by the City of Reno and the City of Sparks, the ordinance has become a contentious issue. With Hill facing reelection, some insiders speculate that her decision to cancel the meeting is politically motivated to avoid a controversial vote.

Critics within the county government argue that Hill’s actions have effectively halted county business and question her leadership during this crucial time. They point to the historical custom of the chair relinquishing their position when running for reelection, citing former Washoe County Commission Chair Bob Lucey’s example.

Commissioner Mike Clark, who defeated Lucey in a previous election, weighed in, questioning the necessity of Hill’s cancellation given the presence of a quorum and highlighting the importance of including the rest of the board in such decisions.

Hill’s Republican challenger, Marsha Berkbigler, condemned the cancellation, emphasizing the importance of addressing the concerns of constituents and the homeless population. She argued that the meeting should proceed as planned to allow the county to conduct its business on behalf of the people.

And while on the subject of Hill, questions have arisen over her dual roles as both a candidate and as the Chair of the County Commissioners.

As the Commission Chair, Hill oversees the Registrar of Voters (ROV) office and has a close relationship with the ROV and the County Manager, raising concerns about potential biases and lack of impartiality.

Allegations of the purposeful suppression of election integrity resolutions have cast a shadow over Hill’s tenure, prompting calls for a thorough investigation into these troubling claims. Making the situation worse is an ongoing lawsuit against Hill, personally and in her official capacity, for alleged mal-feasance and election violations.

Despite mounting concerns from citizens and advocacy groups, the response from various entities, like law enforcement, including Washoe County Sheriff Darin Balam and Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford, state officers like Nevada Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar, state legislators, civil rights groups, and political parties, has been noticeably muted.

A Teacher with the Washoe County School District (WCSD) has taken legal action against the agency, citing a violation of his constitutional rights. Richard Scott Mead asserts that Administration Regulation 5161 (AR 5161) directly contradicted his religious beliefs and led to his suspension.

AR 5161, adopted by the WCSD, prohibits school staff from informing parents about changes in their child’s gender identity, sexual orientation, pronouns, and transgender status. This regulation effectively allows the WCSD to make significant decisions regarding a child’s identity without parental input, including name changes, pronoun usage, and access to facilities based on gender identity.

Furthermore, a controversial program known as “Brave Space” has been implemented, granting students autonomy over matters of gender identity and non-conformity while bypassing parental involvement. Mead argues that such actions violate his religious beliefs and raise legal concerns regarding AR 5161 and associated training programs.

Upon receiving Brave Space Training, Mead sought legal counsel to understand the legality of the WCSD’s actions. However, instead of addressing his concerns, the WCSD responded by suspending him without pay and tarnishing his professional reputation, hindering his career advancement within WCSD.

It marks the first case brought by a teacher against the district for the implementation of AR 5161. A similar case, filed by a parent and child, awaits a decision from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.

Attorneys Sigal Chattah and Joey Gilbert will represent the plaintiffs in both cases.

Connecticut National Guard member Chasity Nunez, 27, and her 11-year-old daughter Zella were killed in broad daylight on Tuesday, March 5, in Worcester, Mass.

The murders have massive criminal records.

Karel Mangual is a gang member released on $1,000 bail despite assaulting a police officer. He nearly killed a man in 2013, tried to run over a cop in 2019, was caught selling crack in 2022, and has a fugitive case against him for an illegal gun in 2023.

Dejan Belnavis is the 2nd suspect. He is also a gang member and was charged in 20-plus prior criminal cases.

After the shooting, police tracked the alleged getaway car to Hartford, Connecticut. Belnavis has relatives in the area and witnessed getting out of the vehicle on surveillance video.

They both had illegal firearms and yet not a peep out of the legacy media or our elitist politicians because none of this fits their agenda.

In a coordinated effort that began in April 2020, a coalition involving the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), NATO, the Democratic National Committee (DNC), and other entities embarked on a mass censorship campaign across various social media platforms to censor any questioning the legitimacy of mail-in ballots.

Stanford University, The University of Washington, Graphika, and The Atlantic Council, all “Pentagon cutouts,” were identified as players in this initiative, indicating their operational ties to the Pentagon in executing the censorship campaign. These institutions pressured social media companies to adopt the new speech violation category “delegitimization,” covering any content challenging the legitimacy of mail-in voting, early voting dropboxes, or ballot tabulation on election day.

The pressure exerted on the tech companies went beyond advisory, as there was governmental force and consequences for non-compliance, as direct channels of communication were set up with tech company executives to expedite content takedown requests, causing countless posts, particularly those questioning the security of mail-in ballots, were either removed or restricted, amounting to potentially hundreds of millions of affected posts.

The censorship campaign began seven months before the election, driven by concerns over the perceived legitimacy of a potential victory for then-candidate Joe Biden in what was termed a ‘red mirage, blue shift event.’ The coalition strategists recognized that Biden’s path to victory relied heavily on Democrat use of mail-in ballots while fearing a scenario where initial results appeared to favor President Donald Trump, only to be reversed in favor of Biden as mail-in ballots got tallied in the days following the election.

In a recent announcement from the Treasury Department, two individuals and a Greece-based commercial spyware company faced the brunt of sanctions.

The accused? Intellexa Consortium, allegedly steered by a former Israeli military officer, allegedly crafted technology for surveilling U.S. government officials, journalists, and policy experts.

The revelation prompts an examination of the narrative, suggesting that the Deep State is eager to deflect accountability for its election interference. The sanctioned entities, including Intellexa and its affiliates, are accused of peddling surveillance tools like “Predator,” which enable invasive surveillance through zero-click attacks, jeopardizing data and privacy on a global scale.

Brian Nelson, Treasury Undersecretary, stressed the imperative of curbing the misuse of such technologies, citing national security concerns. However, observers cannot overlook the convenient alignment of this crackdown with the narrative aiming to divert attention from the internal issues of election integrity.

Recently, the Biden administration unveiled visa restrictions for those who misuse commercial spyware to target journalists, activists, and dissidents. Nevertheless, we are supposed to swallow the narrative that our 2020 elections epitomized fairness and transparency.

The dissonance between action and rhetoric raises legitimate questions about the state of our electoral processes and the forces shaping them behind the scenes.

The rain continued to fall in an unrelenting torrent, a never-ending symphony of despair that seemed to wash away all hope. Rhyolite News reporter James Henderson huddled in his study, his heart racing as he clutched his shotgun and revolver like a lifeline against the encroaching darkness.

He had just sent an email to everyone on his contact list explaining the peril he found himself in before gulping down a mouthful of whiskey when the awful crashing sound of his front door splintering into his living room came.

“Come and get me, you rotten fish-smelling fiends!” he challenged.

Like rabid creatures, they had breached his home, faces obscured by the shadows of their hoods as they whispered secrets that were too sinister for mortal ears. Only Margaret Sinclair, his trusted copy editor, stood among them, face bare, her voice carrying a chilling warning.

“You have delved too deeply into matters beyond your ken, mortal,” she said. “You will not escape our grasp.”

Cray Montgomery, the Rhyolite City Council Chair, loomed behind her, his eyes ablaze with fanatic madness. He was nothing more than a vessel for the ancient and terrible entities that lurked in the shadows, waiting to consume anyone who dared to defy them.

As the hooded figures closed around him, James felt his resolve falter. He raised his weapons, but he knew deep down that they would be useless against the eldritch forces that had taken hold of his once-trusted colleagues.

“We are but vessels for the will of the ancient ones,” Montgomery intoned, his voice resonating with an unearthly finality. “You, dear James, are but a pawn in a cosmic game far beyond your comprehension.”

The adherents’ whispers rose to a frenzied crescendo, and James could make out the words of their prayers to Cthulhu.

“Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn,” they chanted, their voices carrying a malice that made James’s blood go cold.

James felt his courage waver as the fanatics advanced, their horry forms shifting and contorting in ways that defied comprehension. The darkness seemed to press in on him from all sides, suffocating him with a sense of hopelessness and dread.

He fired his revolver, hoping against hope that they would somehow make a difference, but it was all in vain. The devotees were impervious to mortal harm, their bodies undulating like serpents as they closed in on him.

Desperation clawed at James’s chest as he realized the futility of his efforts. He was a fleeting shadow in the grand tapestry of a shattered existence, and the eldritch beings that lurked beyond the veil of sanity would consume him like all those who had come before him.

As the hooded ones closed in around him, their whispered incantations threatening to tear his soul asunder, James knew his fate, bracing himself for the inevitable onslaught, his weapons raised in a final gesture of defiance against the unknowable forces that loomed over him like ancient gods of yore.
