Here are a few national questions Nevadans care about.

Sherman Frederick

  • Middle East unrest – do we stand with Israel or Palestine?
  • Do women have an unrestricted right to kill a gestating baby? 
  • Is fracking good, or bad? 
  • Should we defund police? 
  • Should we dismantle ICE? 
  • Should we give illegal immigrants amnesty? 
  • Should we adopt nationalized health care? 
  • No taxes on tips?

Donald Trump’s been pretty clear on where he stands on these issues. But, Kamala Harris has been all over the board in her short political career and, frankly, I’m beginning to wonder whether we are going to get clarity before Election Day. Following her has been like tracking a feather in the breeze. 

You can find clips of Mrs. Harris expressing different views on most of the topics outlined above. I’m surprised some Internet wag hasn’t put together a montage of her debating herself. 

Her campaign stop in Atlanta two weeks ago double underlined this concern.

At that rally, Mrs. Harris, who is half Indian, half Jamaican, read her standard stump speech, but she did it in a Southern urban accent. And the warm-up act for her was a popular rap artist twerking the audience. 

Nuthin’ against twerking, but what’s that all about? 

If she should address an Indian audience, would she mimic that culture too? How about Norwegian dairy farmers? Maine lobster industry? A Star Trek convention? 

You smell what she’s stepping in? Who is the authentic Mrs. Harris and what does she really think? 

I’m not telling anyone not to give her a serious look, but right now, in this bastardized media environment, where will we as Nevadans get that opportunity?

Everyone knows that Mrs. Harris is a last-minute substitute from a Democratic Party that has perfected the art of choosing candidates in a smoke-filled room, sans the smoke-filled room. 

We saw that happen before our eyes.

All I’m asking for is a little clarity on this candidate. 

GOING OLD TESTAMENT

It should shock no one that two senior militant leaders in two far away Middle Eastern capitals met their maker within hours of each other. 

Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh thought he was safe, comfortably snuggled in bed in Tehran as was Hezbollah commander Fouad Shukur, who enjoyed his daily coffee in Beirut. 

Ismail and Fouad both ceased to exist within hours of each other. Details remain sketchy, but we don’t need to guess at the motivation. 

Armed with the conviction of Joshua, Israel is making good on its promise to hunt down and kill all those responsible for the Oct. 7, 2023, attack. 

ONE MORE THING

– Pro Tip: If you fill a pinata with ketchup, you never have to host a child’s birthday party again.

– If you see me talking to myself, just move along. I’m self-employed and we’re having a staff meeting.

– I’d make a swear jar, but I don’t have the income to keep up with my mouth.
