Stephen Lara sued after the Nevada Highway Patrol took his life savings without charging him with any crime.. RENO, Nev.—On Thursday, the Second Judicial District Court for the State of Nevada denied the state’s motion to dismiss a Marine veteran’s lawsuit challenging the state’s civil forfeiture laws, after his life savings were taken through the controversial process nearly three years ago. Thursday’s decision means Stephen Lara, represented by the Institute for Justice (IJ), can continue his legal challenge to the state’s forfeiture scheme, which allows police to take people’s property without showing that they committed a crime. “The court’s ruling...

White Tennessee Democrat Congressman Steve Cohen was incensed that Super Bowl fans did not stand in respect for what he called the “Negro National Anthem” during Sunday night’s big game. As it has for the last several championship games, the NFL opened the Super Bowl with the song “Life Every Voice and Sing,” which many agitators have proclaimed to be “the black national anthem.” Of course, it isn’t a “national anthem” at all, but regardless, Congressman Cohen was not happy that the video of fans in the stands showed that not many were standing as R&B singer Andra Day performed...

Former President Donald Trump said 'all I want' is for the general election to be held Tuesday after an easy caucus win in Nevada, a good day at the Supreme Court and a bad day for President Joe Biden. Trump appeared onstage at the Treasure Island Hotel and Casino and gloated over his resounding double win in Nevada - with Thursday's caucuses called for the ex-president with under 1 percent of the vote reporting, and Tuesday's primary result - when Trump wasn't on the ballot - embarrassing rival Nikki Haley. He also hinted that he believed the Supreme Court would...

President Donald Trump hit a home run in the great state of Nevada on Thursday night, netting a historic 97.9 percent of the vote in the Silver State GOP caucus. He came out late in the evening to give winning remarks to a crowd of excited supporters, thanking the state for their support and setting his sights on the general election. The president said that the journey in Nevada was “incredible right from the beginning” and noted, “I just want to say, that this has been an incredible period of time for our country, [and] I think, for our world.”

Donald Trump has won the Nevada caucuses and all its 26 delegates in the winner-take-all contest. This race has been over for weeks. It’s why Trump declared victory after winning the New Hampshire Primary because he’s running virtually unopposed. The only other person on the ballot is Ryan Binkley. All we needed was the vote totals for the caucus, which was held between 5 and 7:30 pm local time and eight and 10:30 pm EST.

The Associated Press declared Trump the winner at 11:06 p.m. ET based on an analysis of initial vote results showing him with an overwhelming lead in six locations throughout the state. At the time the race was called, nearly all of the ballots cast in the caucuses were for Trump, roughly 98% of the total vote. The scale of the win was overwhelming, with Trump above 90% in every county with votes counted. At the time of the AP’s call, he had won all the votes counted in two of those counties — and there wasn’t a single county in...

In an interview with Elex Michaelson on The Issue is Show, neocon Nikki Haley publicly denounced the Nevada primary process, labeling it a “scam” and asserting it was “rigged from the start” to favor former President Donald Trump. The Gateway Pundit previously reported that perhaps the most embarrassing moment of Nikki Haley’s entire political career occurred Tuesday night in the Nevada Primary, and President Trump was not even on the ballot. Despite being the only major candidate on the ballot, Haley was overwhelmingly defeated, with many voters opting for “None of These Candidates” over her. Trump, reacting to Haley’s defeat...

Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, after suffering a humiliating loss in the Nevada primaries, complained that former President Donald Trump “rigged” the race to prevent her from making a decent showing.Haley’s comments come weeks before the much-anticipated South Carolina primaries. Given that this is her home state, it will be a critical race that could decide the future of her candidacy.During an interview, a reporter asked if her loss in Nevada would hurt her campaign. Haley responded, claiming that the race was a “scam” and explained why her campaign did not direct any spending in the state.“No. I mean,...

Is it time for Nikki Haley to pack up her campaign baggage and get the heck home? Sure looks like it. Because out in Nevada, the primary results came out like this:Nikki Haley suffered an embarrassing loss in the Republican presidential primary in Nevada on Tuesday, receiving far fewer votes than the "none of these candidates" option, according to the Associated Press.With 86% of the votes counted, Haley received less than half (20,799, or 30.8%) of the 42,534 garnered by "none of these candidates."It was a contest that former President Donald Trump did not compete in and which the state...

VIDEOKarma struck Nikki Haley in Nevada in a most embarrassing way by having her LOSE to NONE OF THE ABOVE on the state's primary ballot. Not only that she is doomed to lose bigly to President Donald Trump in her own state of South Carolina on that primary ballot. However, don't think these horrible humiliations will stop her from continuing to campaign. Why? Because she is being paid by wealthy Democrat donors to stay on the campaign trail in order to continue attacking Trump. Although Nikki likes to portray herself as on a higher moral plane, she has lowered herself...

LAS VEGAS - Former President Donald Trump wasn't on the ballot in Tuesday's Republican presidential primary in the early voting state of Nevada. But his absence wasn't enough to help secure a victory for his last remaining major rival for the 2024 GOP nomination – Nikki Haley. Voters casting ballots in the state-run Republican nominating contest couldn't write in Trump's name, but they could vote for a "none of these candidates" option. And the Associated Press projected that the "none of these candidates" option would defeat Haley in a primary where no delegates to this summer's Republican convention were at...

Nikki Haley faced no major challenger Tuesday in Nevada’s presidential primary. She still lost, according to NBC News projections. Nevada voters in the state-run primary had a choice to reject all the candidates on the ballot, and they did just that — with more people choosing to vote for “none of these candidates” than for Haley. It was a stinging rebuke of the former ambassador to the United Nations and South Carolina governor — and one that some party leaders had encouraged. The outcome in Nevada was Haley's third consecutive loss in an early state primary contest.

Too damaging to release?? "None of these candidates" chosen on both sides in high percentages maybe? Very strange!

Tuesday, former South Carolina Governor and United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley is set to sweep the Presidential Preference Primary (PPP) in Nevada, clinching an outright win. Former President Donald Trump's name is not printed on the ballot for the state-run primary at all. While Haley will likely ride the momentum of a purported victory, she won't exactly strike gold in the Silver State. At the Republican National Convention, Haley will not be awarded any of the 26 delegates from Nevada. Instead, the delegates will be awarded through caucuses run by the Nevada Republican Party on Thursday. By this method, Trump...

Nikki Haley is on the primary ballot. Donald Trump isn't. There is a caucus on Thursday where Trump is on the ballot and Nikki isn't. No Nevada delegates will be selected in today's primary. All delegates will be chosen in Thursday's caucus. There is an option to vote "none of the above" in Nevada, so it will be interesting to see how many people choose that instead of voting for Nikki.

It's presidential primary day in Nevada, which for a couple of decades has been a key early voting state in the race for the White House. Three days after a massive victory in South Carolina's Democratic primary, President Biden is expected to score a second straight landslide in Nevada. But things are far from simple in the Republican primary, where only one of the two major contenders left in the battle for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination will appear on the ballot. But Trump, who is the commanding front-runner for the GOP nomination as he makes his third straight White...

The Washoe County Republican Party kicked out County Commissioner Clara Andriola on Monday night. “Andriola has intentionally and willfully failed to uphold the Republicans and the Republican brand in her official capacity by predominantly voting with the Democrats on the Commission,” said a resolution voted on by the county Republican party’s central committee during a meeting at Boomtown casino. Republican Gov. Joe Lombardo appointed Andriola to the commission in April, replacing Vaughn Hartung after he was appointed to lead the Nevada Transportation Authority. Andriola told the RGJ on Tuesday that she’s baffled by the resolution. “I don't understand why they're...

Former President Donald Trump, speaking in a Commit to Caucus rally in Las Vegas on Saturday, promised that he will support Texas in its battle to secure the border, not push back against the state like the Biden administration is doing. "When I'm president, instead of trying to send Texas a restraining order, I will send them reinforcements," Trump told the large crowd gathered at Big League Dreams sports park in Las Vegas. "Instead of fighting border states, I will use every resource tool and authority of the U.S. president to defend the United States of America from this horrible...
