As summer nears, many Americans may be getting ready to change their closets for the new season, making room for the more colorful clothing that goes with the warm weather.

A longtime Las Vegas icon has angered some on the left after his image was used to bash Hillary Clinton. Vegas Vic, a fixture on Freemont Street since it was erected outside of The Pioneer Club in 1951, used to say “Howdy partner” to passersby. Now his words are causing legal action.

If you’re a fan of The Walking Dead, you must love Yucca Mountain. It keeps coming back. In the new budget submitted by President Donald Trump, we can’t afford the National Endowments for the Humanities and the Arts, or to take care of the poor and sick, but we can afford $120 million to get the licensing back on track for a nuclear waste dump about 90 miles northwest of Las Vegas.

Decades before Harry Reid was at his peak, it was hard to argue that Patrick McCarran wasn’t the most powerful Nevada politician to emerge from the state. He was elected to the U.S. Senate four times and carried heavy legislation during his tenure, including a 1934 act that helped establish a swath of safety regulations for aircraft. Before his years on Capitol Hill, he had served as a justice on the Nevada Supreme Court and in the state’s Legislature. When he died in 1954, he was ranked as one of the most powerful senators in Washington.
