Many on the left accuse greedy capitalists at major outlets of exaggerating the problem to cover up mismanagement.

After reading the Review-Journal article on the Roos-N-More zoo, I had a flashback to my childhood in Chicago, where I would ride my bicycle to the Brookfield Zoo (“Moapa zoo cleared to reopen,” Oct. 22 Review-Journal). I would pay my quarter to see the animals, eat a lunch my mom packed and enjoy nature. That was 50 years ago.
It was terrible to hear about the horrible massacre at Umpqua Community College (“Oregon massacre,” Oct. 2 Review-Journal). It was another senseless mass killing in a gun-free zone, and another excuse for President Barack Obama to try to destroy the Second Amendment by taking guns away from law-abiding citizens. Then, only bad guys will have guns.
The article about the Metropolitan Police Department paying a large settlement to a woman falsely accused of being a prostitute at the Cosmopolitan makes me aware of what a total scam these so-called prostitution sweeps are.
On Oct. 22, I watched part of Hillary Clinton’s hearing on Benghazi before a House committee (“Clinton withstands GOP grilling over Benghazi,” Oct. 23 Review-Journal). What was it, the eighth, 10th or 15th hearing on the subject?

Sanders and ‘S’ word
Kudos to the Review-Journal editorial board for taking a position on how our nation can dramatically improve the care of our veterans (“Privatize VA,” Monday Review-Journal).
Is the Review-Journal just not paying attention? Or are we seeing a display of willful ignorance regarding Hillary Clinton’s policies? The “Demand specifics” editorial (Sept. 26 Review-Journal) claimed that the policies Mrs. Clinton has outlined lack specifics. No other candidate has rolled out as many policies with as much detail as Mrs. Clinton.
Jack Oliver’s letter suggests that an acceptable solution to the public school teacher shortage in Southern Nevada is to “eliminate the need for a college degree in order to teach in our schools.” Following that logic, the solution to Southern Nevada’s shortage of doctors must be to eliminate the requirement that doctors complete medical school — or even a pre-med undergraduate degree — in order to practice medicine.
Is a taxi war coming to Las Vegas?

Color psychology is not just a matter of personal preference in your home decor. It’s a powerful tool that can significantly influence your and your staff’s productivity in the workplace. Many businesses choose their brand colors without considering their potential impact on the office environment. While these colors may look great on a business card, […]
Las Vegas is now part of an unfortunate club. It’s one of many cities where a viral video has been shot revealing the ruinous results of soft-on-crime policies embraced by Democrats.
CRT adherents don’t see two individuals, they see two representatives of their class. Deobra Redden is Black, so he’s oppressed. Judge Mary Kay Holthus, who’s white, is the oppressor.
As many as 26 percent of American adults — more than 1 in 4 — have some type of disability.
A new Review-Journal feature called “What Are They Hiding?” will spotlight all the bad-faith ways Nevada governments hide public records from taxpayers.
