There’s still something left to be said about Alex Pretti. Saying it says what we already know, but we need to say it, because words -- misdirected, rhetorical, dishonest, sugar-coated, hiding threats, pretending to be other than what they say – are part of the problem today.
Truth or Consequences City Manager Gary Whitehead has been doing a stellar job. If city commissioners gave him a "satisfactory" on his yearly evaluation, it shows how little they know about government.
Swiss firm, AP and Nevada lawyers threatened to sue the Sierra County Citizen over its use of a photo plucked from governor's website. Now that we're settling, we can explain and ask for donations again.
I must admit that I have found it hard to write for the last year, ever since the Election of November 6, 2024. Many have asked me where my voice has been, and I say, "It is lost," It is their prod to speak again and this is the beginning.
Copper Flat Mine's efforts to reopen over the last 15 years have been supported via resolutions passed by Truth or Consequences city commissions in the past and by the current mayor's passivity and "trust."

Everyone agrees that America changed with the election and re-election of our present President, but they all disagree about what that change is and if the change is good, bad, or ugly. My two-cents worth is that American eugenics has changed to pop-eugenics, and pop-eugenics rules the day.
Two days ago, @realDonaldTrump posted a glorification of ICE activities in Los Angeles. I analyze the writing to look for the real Donald Trump and what he is really saying to us as he advocates for an expansion of deportation.
