VICTOR JOECKS: Why Lombardo’s education plan will fail

3 days ago | reviewjournal.com | Victor Joecks

It’s good to be the king, but it’s better to be the power behind the throne. Just look at how Clark County Education Association Executive Director John Vellardita manipulates Nevada’s education system. Gov. Joe Lombardo and Senate Majority Leader Nicole Cannizzaro agreed on a far-reaching education plan before the legislative session ended. Parts of Lombardo’s bill were amended into Senate Bill 460. Despite the rampant self-promotion, don’t expect many results.

Ideas have consequences. The ideas pushed on many college campuses have deadly consequences. Elias Rodriguez stands accused of murdering two Israeli Embassy staffers. The shooting happened recently outside the Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C. The victims were Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, a young couple who were about to be engaged. The propaganda press has largely moved on from the shooting because it doesn't fit its preferred narrative.

Elon Musk half right about fertility crisis

By VICTOR JOECKSSyndicated Columnist The world’s richest man isn’t just juggling multiple companies. He’s juggling multiple baby mamas. The Wall Street Journal recently had a long piece on Elon Musk’s complicated personal life. He has at least 14 children with four different women. The “harem drama” — in the words of Musk’s ex-girlfriend Ashley St. Clair — is a mess. There are fights about custody and questions about paternity.
VICTOR JOECKS: Parents need Lombardo to veto these bills

1 week ago | reviewjournal.com | Victor Joecks

Gov. Joe Lombardo wouldn’t be governor without the backing of parents. Now Democrats want to send those parents to jail if they object to pornography in schools. On Wednesday, the Senate Education Committee heard Assembly Bill 416. It would make it extremely onerous for parents and even school board members to remove sexually explicit material from school libraries. Doing so would require a court order.
VICTOR JOECKS: Passive Lombardo signs off on tax increases

1 week ago | reviewjournal.com | Victor Joecks

Nevada is facing the possibility of $7-a-gallon gasoline next year. Gov. Joe Lombardo just signed a gas tax increase. Last Thursday, Lombardo announced he had signed Assembly Bill 530 and Senate Bill 451. AB530 gives new authority to the Clark County Commission to increase the gasoline tax through a program called Fuel Revenue Indexing. The commission’s approval is little more than a foregone conclusion. In 2016, Clark County voters approved yearly increases in the gas tax, tied to inflation.

Republicans need to explain the Medicaid reforms in President Donald Trump's big, beautiful bill, not run away from them. Early Thursday morning, House Republicans passed their version of Trump's big, beautiful bill. It contains tax cuts, money for immigration enforcement and a partial rollback of handouts for green energy projects. It also includes nearly $800 billion in Medicaid spending reductions over the next decade. Democrats are already attacking Republicans on that issue.
