May is Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month and an opportunity to celebrate and honor the many contributions the AAPI entrepreneurial community has made in Las Vegas.
It’s one thing to say the Northern Hemisphere summer of 2023 was the hottest of the 150 years people have been making measurements. This well-documented claim is often dismissed by skeptics of global warming who point out that Earth has a long history of temperature fluctuations. That’s why it’s important that a new paper shows last summer was actually the hottest in the past 2,000 years — and that our current temperatures are even more of an outlier than we realized.
The Senate chairman of the Foreign Intelligence Committee warned us that November’s election will be the most attacked election in our nation’s history.
We’ve reached the act in Donald Trump’s trial that is no longer farce, but infuriating. This is what the supposedly greatest country on the planet is transmitting to the rest of the world, that we are unserious even about the principles we declare we hold most dear.
The song “Everything Old is New Again” warned, “Don’t throw the past away/You might need it some rainy day/Dreams can come true again/When everything old is new again.”
After months of delay, U.S. aid is again flowing to Ukraine. Yet the war’s trajectory remains uncertain. Russia is determined to win a protracted conflict, while Washington’s appetite for further aid remains in question. As the United States heads into a presidential election that could be key in determining the war’s outcome, we should take a moment to remind ourselves that a Russian victory in Ukraine would spell disaster for the West.
At a rally May 11 in Wildwood, N.J., Donald Trump said that if he is reelected, he will “immediately deport” any campus protesters who “come here from another country and try to bring jihadism or anti-Americanism or antisemitism.”
The recent surrealistic Supreme Court arguments around Donald Trump’s specific claim that he cannot be prosecuted for his self-coup and insurrection, which tried to prevent the hallowed peaceful transfer of power in the American republic, demonstrated that the ever-expanding imperial presidency could now reach its logical endpoint — illiberal authoritarianism in America.
Next month, the United States Supreme Court is expected to rule on two cases involving the Jan. 6, 2021, storming of the U.S. Capitol, including a crucial case on whether former President Donald Trump ...
The commendable project at UNLV seeking a low-emission way to produce iron and steel is an excellent example of how innovative new technologies, if successful, can reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and move us toward a clean energy future.
Sound science is used by the Nevada Department of Wildlife in the management of wildlife and the habitat. It has biologists on staff who are regularly in the field to observe the condition of the landscape.
The National Collegiate Athletic Association is under pressure to draft an impossible piece of policy: a stance on transgender athletes that makes progressives and conservatives happy. The best it’s come up with so far is to say late last month that its rules are “under review,” after a smaller student-athlete association effectively banned trans women from competing in women’s sports.
Across the West, beautiful natural landscapes and thriving wildlife populations are cherished parts of what make us love to call this region home. Nevada’s vast expanses of sagebrush and winding red rock canyons make this especially true. A healthy environment supports local economies and promotes our quality of life.
Today’s 70th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s epoch-making Brown v. Board of Education ruling reminds us that the route to social change never is a straight line.
In 1958, three years after the Brown v. Board of Education order to integrate American schools, the Texas Legislature debated a plan that would offer vouchers to parents who opposed the idea that their children would learn in diverse racial settings.
