Good morning, everyone. Tune in tonight to the last airing on Sinclair’s network of “Ralston Reports.” Special guests will include former governors and senators, movie stars and others. I kid you not. It’s not goodbye, dear Flashees. It’s au revoir. It’s Sinatra’s birthday today, so this is fitting.
This is the last Morning Flash of 2014. There will be no premium content until after the 1st, either. I am taking a break to relax, rest and recharge. I will be mostly off the grid, unless, of...
TONIGHT'S RALSTON REPORTS: We'll see.
DAYS UNTIL THE GOVERNOR ANNOUNCES HIS TAX PLAN IN THE STATE OF THE STATE: 35
DAYS UNTIL THE GREATEST LEGISLATIVE SESSION EVER BEGINS: 53
DAYS UNTIL THE STATE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN: 202
DAYS UNTIL THE 2016 ELECTION: 698
Good morning, everyone. As you will see below, Storm Fagan is beginning to publicly self-destruct. And as she does, she has either chosen to and/or been advised to play the gender card, a thoroughly offensive and Bilbrayesque...
Good morning, everyone. Senate Majority Leader (for a little longer) Harry Reid clearly is maintaining his sense of humor while still refusing to have a self-editing mechanism installed, as this interview shows. (He repeated similar sentiments to The New York Times). To wit:
Asked if he is concerned about a possible Sandoval run, Reid deadpanned: “About as much as I’m worried about you and your — I won’t say it. I’m not worried.”
“It’s not as if I haven’t had a real challenge over the...
Good morning, everyone. I wonder how the political terrorists who helped elevate the Fiore-Hansen-Wheeler triumvirate because of their common interest in immolation feel as they see their rare grip on pseudo-power is about to evaporate. As Bush 41 once said about another ill-fated invasion, “This will not stand.” Sooner or later, the MSM will not be able to ignore the manifest tax problems of the tax chair/majority leader, nor will the IRS. But beyond that, I just sense there is too much...
Good morning, everyone. “There are a lot of people who got elected in Nevada who didn’t expect it,” he said. “And I didn’t expect it either.” That quote buried in a Review-Journal storySunday from Gov. Brian Sandoval could be the perfect encapsulation of Nevada’s red wave this year: Wildly popular governor who helped wave be as broad and deep as it was acknowledges surprise, as do some people he has never heard of and whose votes he will need (maybe) for a tax package.

Those were Assembly Non-Majority Leader Michele Fiore's words to rightie talk-radio host Alan Stock Friday morning after showing him an installment agreement that mandates she pay the IRS $3,000 a month to pay off tax liens.
I tuned in late because I was listening to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on KNPR -- I know, where are my priorities?
But Stock vouched for the agreement, which her accountant helped explain and claimed some of the $1 million in liens were duplicates. Nevertheless, Fiore...
After more than a year of meetings, a coalition of elected and busienss leaders from Southern Nevada will meet Friday morning to finalize priorities for Session '15.
In all my years of covering politics and the endless stream of sectional rhetoric, I don't recall this much sustained organization, this "Southern Nevada Forum" effort organized by Marilyn Kirkpatrick, the presumed speaker turned minority leader. The question remains, though: The South has all of the legislative leaders and...
