Justice Delayed& Evil Encouraged

1 week ago | nevadabusiness.com | Lyle Brennan

The wisdom of King Solomon pierces through the ages with unrelenting clarity: “Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.” (Ecclesiastes 8:11) This verse reveals a critical truth about human nature and the importance of swift justice in curbing societal decay. When wrongdoing is not met with prompt and decisive consequences, it emboldens evildoers and undermines the moral fabric of a nation.

Return to the Gold Standard

1 month ago | nevadabusiness.com | Lyle Brennan

For over half a century, the United States has operated on a purely fiat currency system, a monetary structure not anchored to any tangible standard, reliant solely on public confidence. Since President Nixon severed the dollar’s ties to gold in 1971, our economy has been subject to cycles of inflation, unchecked government spending, and the devaluation of our purchasing power.
Political Misdirection?

2 months ago | nevadabusiness.com | Lyle Brennan

Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford, who appears to have his sights set on the Governor’s seat, continues to make decisions that seem more about advancing his political ambitions than serving the people of Nevada. His move to involve Nevada in the lawsuit against Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) raises serious concerns about whether this is about protecting Nevadans or merely a political maneuver to obstruct much-needed government transparency.
Out of step with Nevada

Feb 1, 2025 | nevadabusiness.com | Lyle Brennan

In the ever-evolving debate over immigration, Nevada’s Attorney General Aaron Ford has positioned himself on the far-left fringe, embracing policies that prioritize political expediency over the safety and well-being of Nevadans. Ford’s track record is not new. In 2017, as a state senator, he co-sponsored legislation that would have effectively turned Nevada into a sanctuary state.

The role of government employees is distinct from the private sector in that they serve, not a corporation, but the public trust. This sacred duty requires accountability, efficiency, and a commitment to the common good. However, the existence of unions in the public sector undermines these ideals, fostering inefficiency, reducing accountability, and insulating poor performers from consequences.
Trimming the Fat

As business leaders, we live by accountability, managing every dollar with precision to meet obligations and foster growth. President-elect Trump’s decision to enlist Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to trim the federal government’s waste, overregulation and inefficiency brings hope to those who value fiscal responsibility. Their mission is clear: restore discipline to federal spending, eliminate unnecessary burdens on businesses and focus resources on what truly benefits the American people.
Guilty Until Proven Innocent: The New America

Nov 1, 2024 | nevadabusiness.com | Lyle Brennan

What happened to the America most of us cherished and grew up with, the land of the free and the home of the brave? There was a time when the guiding principle of our justice system was clear: innocent until proven guilty. This bedrock of our legal system is not just a technicality, but a reflection of something deeper—the value we place on human dignity, personal freedom, and the belief that the individual is not to be condemned without due process.
The Impact of Your Vote or Silence

Sep 30, 2024 | nevadabusiness.com | Lyle Brennan

Though I’m not an enthusiastic voter this year, I am reminded that nothing in life, except God, is ever perfect. We live in a world full of uncertainties. Health, success, safety and even happiness offer no guarantees. Yet, despite life’s inherent imperfections, we press forward, making decisions daily, based on the best available choices. This election, like many aspects of life, is another example of choosing the lesser of two evils.
