(Annie Black) – I.  LOVE.  RACING.

I’ve been going out to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway (LVMS) for the annual NASCAR race for years.  It’s a blast!

My family and friends usually rent spots on the infield and make a whole weekend party out of it.  Always a great time.  Everybody loves it.

See if you can find me in the photo above.  (No, I’m not the one pulling my t-shirt up!)

The Southpoint 400 NASCAR playoff race is scheduled for next Sunday.  But we won’t be there.  Can’t.  By imperial order of Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak.

And like most of the governor’s other “emergency” orders, this one makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

According to a report in the Las Vegas Review-Journal on Saturday (“No Fans Allowed for Vegas Race”), the speedway went well BEYOND what should have been necessary to safely allow fans in the stands.

LVMS wanted to allow up to 8,000 spectators – which would be about 10% of capacity – well under the 50% capacity allowed for casinos, restaurants, etc.

“We would not space people 6 feet apart,” explained LVMS president Chris Powell.  “We would space groups 20 feet apart.”

Mr. Powell also noted that in Bristol, Tennessee on Saturday night, some 25,000 spectators were allowed to watch the race in person.

“In Texas, they’ve had fans,” he added.  “In Daytona, they had fans.  So many other speedways.”

Powell also advised that a detailed health and safety plan was submitted to the state four weeks ago.  The governor’s response this past Friday:

Pound sand.

Mr. Powell responded…

“I am as disappointed in our governor as I could possibly be.  We have worked behind the scenes through every channel we know.  I’ve spoken to the governor. 

“Two Wednesdays ago I expressed to him how important this was to me and the speedway.  He promised he would get back to me within 48 hours.  He has yet to call me back.”

Mr. Powell also noted that it’s not just the fans who are being made to suffer, but the thousands of people who usually pick up some extra money working the event…

“Yeah, they might be part-time jobs for most people, but these are jobs people depend on.  To have to tell these people that we’re not hiring you because we’re not having any race fans at the event … the frustration level is off the charts.”

“We have taken every step imaginable to take into account race fans’ desire to see a race and see it in a safe environment.  Here we are a destination city and we have a government that is slapping tourists in the face.”

If it’s “safe” to cram people together walking along the Strip and inside casinos, it’s certainly safe – SAFER! – to allow 8,000 people to sit in the speedway’s stands that hold 80,000.

This is just another nonsensical, arbitrary, unilateral, conflicting and discriminatory decision by Gov. Sisolak – who loves to wield the “picking winners and losers” power he’s bestowed upon himself.  As Vice President Mike Pence said…

“Their agenda is based on government control. Our agenda is based on freedom.”

NASCAR fans overwhelmingly support President Trump.  And you won’t see anybody kneeling during the National Anthem (they’d get an old-fashioned whoopin’!).

Gov. Sisolak despises anything and anyone who supports our president.  So the decision to ban fans at LVMS next Sunday obviously is, as usual, purely political.

I think I know where the president should hold his next Vegas campaign rally/peaceful protest!

From the AnnieGram Mailbag

“Definitely like your attitude and your statements. So, damn few politicians keep their promises once elected. I am half-tempted to move to Mesquite just so I can say I have an assemblywoman that does what she says she is going to do.” – Dave Austin

Annie responds:

“Thanks, Dave.  Just know I intend to be THE conservative representative for ALL Nevadans.  You don’t have to live in Mesquite to share thoughts, express frustrations or ask for help.  I’m here for you!”

(Annie Black) – Cowboy up! *

According to Las Vegas Review-Journal columnist John Katsilometes, on August 29^th Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak’s OSHA ordered the Saddle N Spurs Saloon – a “down-home, Western-style roadhouse” in Las Vegas – to “pull the music or shut down the business entirely.”

The very next night, the governor was caught on video having an intimate dinner with his wife and guests at a Las Vegas Italian restaurant in which a live band was performing without masks.

Just another example of Gov. Sisolak’s do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do two-facedness.

Well, the saloon’s owner, Bobby Kingston, is fighting back.  Live entertainment has returned to Saddle N Spurs (unless the governor shuts him down again).  KATS! has the details…

“Once more, Kingston is presenting musicians onstage nightly. None are considered ‘headliners,’ in his (or anyone’s) estimation. He’s not paying for any promotion or advertising. There is no cover charge or ticket price required. The format is ‘ambient music,’ as is required by the governor.

“Kingston’s mirth-some method of promotion is to post on social media: ‘SNS SALOON HAS UNADVERTISED AMBIENT LIVE MUSIC WITHOUT HEADLINERS WHILE YOU EAT’ and a list of what’s planned each night. ‘MON – ROCK DUO 6-9 P.M. TUE – COUNTRY DUO 6-10 P.M.’ and so on.”

Understandably, most business owners are afraid to challenge the governor’s contradictory and discriminatory “emergency” orders since Sisolak has threatened them with fines, citations and revocation of their government-issued business licenses.

So when a business owner such as Mr. Kingston stands up for his rights, we all should support him as strongly as we can!

And since the Saddle N Spurs – advertised as “Las Vegas’ LAST Remaining REAL Honky Tonk Bar” – isn’t allowed by Gov. Sislak to advertise his business in the traditional way, the least we can all do is help spread the word through our own social media channels.

So here goes…

The Saddle N Spurs Saloon now has a fully functioning kitchen, appropriately called “The Chuck Wagon,” turning out some great Honky Tonk Bar Room Food.

SNS Saloon is open daily at Noon as a restaurant.  Join us for some tasty food, cold drinks, and hot jackpots now featuring 14 stand-alone gaming machines reserved first come first served for our gamers.  Our Happy Hour is still 3-6p!

We also have ambient local live music, no dancing permitted, while you eat daily when we aren’t showing playoff hockey games or other key sporting events on our HDTVs:

• • Mon – Rock Duo 6-9p
  • Tue – Country Duo 6-10p
  • Weds – Acoustic Rock 6-10p
  • Thurs – Various 6-10p
  • Fri/Sat – Country 7-11p
  • Sun – Blues/Rock 6-10p

In all cases, masks are mandatory, social distancing is required, bar is closed with table service only and all government mandates are strictly enforced for our customer’s safety.

The Saddle N Spurs Saloon is located at 2333 N Jones Blvd., Ste 108 (at the corner of Smoke Ranch) in Las Vegas.  The phone number is (702) 646-6292.

Please share this with your friends and family.  And if you can stop by and spend a little money to help keep SNS Saloon open, great.

Also, if you’d like to send Mr. Kingston an email thanking him for standing his ground and fighting back, his email address is bobby@saddlenspurssaloon.com.   Tell him you’re a foot soldier in “Annie’s Army.”

Mount up!

(Annie Black) – Over the weekend, Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak was caught on video enjoying a night on the town, wining and dining mask-less at a cozy dinner-for-four with live entertainment at an Italian restaurant in Las Vegas.

What a double-talking hypocrite.

After getting blistered unmercifully and deservedly on social media this morning, the governor issued a statement excusing himself, including the following…

“There is no prohibition on ambient background music, like what was playing at the restaurant.”

But just yesterday columnist John Katsilometes of the Las Vegas Review-Journal detailed the contradictory hoops to jump through, including the definition of “ambient” music, that have been imposed on other restaurants and venues.

Apparently, a live band is OK for the governor’s favorite eatery, but not anyone else.

Instead, according to the governor, the rest of us should go visit a ghost town (seriously, he actually said that).

If it’s safe and OK for Gov. Sisolak to catch dinner and a show, it should be OK for bars, churches, showrooms, playgrounds and convention centers to reopen, too.

People who are at a high risk of catching the coronavirus or afraid to venture out should stay home.  But set the rest of us FREE!

Especially in light of the new CDC report that came out this morning showing that “only 6% of all coronavirus deaths were completely due to the coronavirus alone” and “the rest of the deaths…are attributed to individuals who had other serious issues going on.”

This is just the latest in a long list of reasons why so many Nevadans signed my “Resign Sisolak!” petition.

Oh, and about that…

A serious effort to muzzle me is well underway.

Seems the petition – and my ongoing criticism of the Governor on social media and in AnnieGrams – has gotten under somebody’s skin.

It’s been “suggested” that I “tone it down.”  Play the game.  Learn the ropes.  Pay my dues.  Wait my turn.  Not speak unless spoken to.  Go along to get along.

Or else.

Yep.  A not-too-subtle threat that unless I play ball, I risk what every politician is supposed to be scared to death of…

Not getting re-elected (the horror!).

This threat usually works on most people.

I’m not most people.

As the late Herman Cain was fond of saying, “I does not care.”

In my mind I’ll have 120 days next session to champion the causes and issues I ran on.

If the Governor, certain special interests and the Carson City political establishment want to try to take me out in 2022, have at it.

The only thing I care about is keeping the promises I made in my campaign.

I won’t be silenced.  I won’t be intimidated.

Nobody puts Annie in a corner!  LOL

QUOTES OF THE DAY on the Governor’s Pizza Party…

“Your logic during this entire thing has just been so out of touch with reality. It’s like you’re just doing things on purpose to see how many blatantly pointless things we’ll just keep putting up with for your own amusement.  I’ll tune in next week when u tell us that wearing our left shoe is ok but the right one is super dangerous and cannot be worn in public.” – Aaron Alexander

(Annie Black) – Remember what Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak told Nevadans way back on April 16, 2020 about listening to experts when it came to his statewide shutdown orders?  Here’s a reminder…

“I am listening, and I will repeat this as many times as you’d like me to, to medical experts, to my scientific experts, and determining what is in the best interest of this community.”

And yes, he HAS repeated it ad nauseum.  But apparently we didn’t pay close enough attention to one all-important word in that statement: “my.”

The fact is, since Day One of the #SisolakShutdown the governor has used guidelines put out by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to justify one “emergency” order after another, including his mandatory face mask order…

“The Medical Advisory Team and the CDC recommend homemade fabric face coverings of all types.  They’re easy to make, and can be made from cloth, or fashioned out of something as simple as a bandana or an old T-shirt.”

But that was then.  This is now.

Earlier this week the CDC changed its guidelines on COVID-19 testing; now maintaining, as reported by the Associated Press, that “it’s not necessary for people who don’t feel sick but have been in close contact with infected people to get tested.”

The CDC.  The experts and scientists Gov. Sisolak has relied upon to maintain his political death grip on Nevadans and Nevada’s economy.

But the new advisory from the scientific health experts at the CDC doesn’t square with Gov. Sisolak’s use of increased testing to boost the number of reported cases so as to perpetuate his continued, never-ending “emergency” declarations.

Without more tests, there isn’t a big boost in cases.  Without big boosts in cases, there’s no reason to extend the governor’s self-bestowed emergency powers.

As such, the governor had a cow…

“In response to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) changing their COVID-19 testing guidance earlier this week to say that some individuals without symptoms may not need to be tested, State of Nevada health officials confirm that they will not be adopting the new guidance and will continue to strongly recommend testing for all individuals.”

He then went on Twitter and desperately blustered…

“There is no scientific justification for the disappointing & inexplicable CDC change.”

Got that?

Gov. Sisolak has relied on the CDC’s health “experts” and “scientific” recommendations to justify his authoritarian stranglehold on Nevada and our economy when it suited him.

But now that the CDC’s scientific medical experts no longer support his craving to retain kinglike power over our lives and businesses…well, screw them.

Which brings us back to the governor’s April 16 statement that he was listening to “MY scientific experts.”

As he’s now confirmed, if he can’t control ‘em, he ain’t listenin’ to ‘em.

So bug off, CDC!

This self-serving attitude calls into question EVERY decision the governor has made in mishandling the coronavirus crisis.

He should resign.

Which reminds me…

Annie talks with Nevada conservative talk-show host Kevin Wall about AnniePAC & the new online petition calling for Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak to resign.

(Annie Black) – With Gov. Sisolak keeping much of the state closed for business, that $1.2 billion budget hole the Legislature put a band-aid on last month – using the usual smoke-and-mirrors budget gimmicks – is gonna be back with a vengeance.

By the time the Legislature reconvenes for its next regular session in February, don’t be surprised if that deficit is doubled.  Or more. 

Why?  Because they didn’t really cut anything.  They simply raided and drained the Rainy Day Fund and moved money around from various accounts.

What the governor SHOULD have done last March – and what the Legislature SHOULD have done last month – was the same thing the governor did to the private sector: Lay off non-essential government employees and cut non-essential government services, programs, agencies and departments. 

THAT’S where the money is. 

You simply cannot run the same sized government when tax revenues from closed businesses and out-of-work families are a fraction of what they were.

If we’re supposedly “all in this together,” then taxpayer-funded government workers and operations MUST be cut, just as various businesses and private sector workers have been cut.

Delaying the inevitable will only make the pain worse next year when it again comes time to pay the piper.  Why more Republican elected officials aren’t screaming this from the rafters is a mystery.

UPDATE: “Resign Sisolak” Proclamation

When I launched our AnniePAC online proclamation yesterday – declaring that Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak’s “systemic incompetence” in mishandling the COVID-19 situation has resulted in an “economic health crisis” for which he should resign – I thought maybe we’d get a couple dozen signers.

After all, I’m just a small-town councilwoman who won’t even be officially elected to the Nevada State Assembly until November.

But we’ve already gotten almost 600 signatures…and more keep rolling in every hour as word spreads throughout the state. 

THANK YOU!

We’re going to keep collecting online signatures through close-of-business tomorrow and then print out a hard copy of the proclamation and mail it to the governor on Monday.  So if you, your friends, family, neighbors or co-workers want to add your names, you still have time.

Annie Black: In the News

Nick Yamashita of The Progress has a new story out on the Legislature’s changes to election law that were passed in the recent special session. Some excerpts…

Mesquite resident Annie Black is the newly elected Assemblywoman for District 19 which includes Mesquite, Overton and a portion of the Las Vegas valley. She is also currently serving on the Mesquite City Council.

Black is the former President of the Mesquite Republican Women’s Club. She gave some insight from the conservative standpoint regarding the bill.  “It is a travesty.” Black said. “It was all done in the middle of the night, so it seemed pretty shady.”

Firstly, Black points out the dire financial situation which Nevada is currently in. There are no spare funds to allocate to mail-in voting, she said.  “We could be using that money better towards helping our failing economy,” she said.

Another huge problem with the bill is the likelihood of ballot harvesting, Black said. This is the gathering and submitting of absentee or mail-in ballots by third-party individuals, volunteers or workers; rather than submission of the ballots by the voters themselves to official collection sites.

Black said that this is a recipe for fraud-tainted election results.  “They have found people are voting but their votes are ineligible due to signatures not matching,” Black said. “There are just so many chances for voter fraud to occur here!”

QUOTE OF THE DAY

“I’d like to see the money follow the student. If a school is going to be closed, and we’re giving all of this money on the federal basis to a school… I think the money should follow the student. And that’s something that we want to do.

“We’re having a hard time with the Democrats. They want the money to follow the union… I would like the money to follow the student. And this way, you can make your own choice if the school is closed.

“Why are we paying if a school is closed? Why are we paying the school? I’d rather give it to the student, the parents, and you do your own thing.”

Annie joined national conservative talk-show host Wayne Allyn Root (WAR) to discuss her 2020 GOP primary win, recent legislation changing Nevada to an automatic mail-in general election & Republican legislators who don’t vote the way they campaign.

WAR: “You put out some of the best campaign material I’ve ever seen. Your campaign promotions should be a model for every Republican in America running for every single office.  You did a fabulous job.  Kudos to you.”

Annie joined Derek Uehara and discussed her primary win, her plans for the upcoming legislative session in Carson City & the launch of her new political action committee: AnniePAC.

(Annie Black) – Words of wisdom are often passed on to us by mom, dad, grandma, granddad, an aunt, uncle, mentor, neighbor or some other older and wiser person we’re close to.

For example…

• “Accept your limitations.”
• “Treat others the way you want to be treated.”
• “Forgive and forget. Life is too short to hold grudges.”
• “Good looks are skin deep and fade with time. It’s what’s inside that counts.”
• “Life is not fair. Get over it and move on.”
• “Whatever you do, do it well.”
• “Anything worth having is worth working for.”

Well, I use a lot of those old sayings in my writings and speeches, but often can’t remember exactly who I learned or heard them from.

So in the future I’m going to just attribute such sage advice to a generic individual named “Granny Annie.”  As in…

“As Granny Annie used to tell me, if at first you don’t succeed, do it the way your mother told you to.”

Or…

“The next time a bully asks for your lunch money,” Granny Annie advised, “tell him you left it on his mother’s dresser.”

Great advice!

So now you know who “Granny Annie” is when you see her name in future AnnieGrams.

(Annie Black) – On March 17, 2020, Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak invoked “emergency” powers and unilaterally shut the entire state’s economy down due to the Wuhan coronavirus.

Four days later I wrote in an AnnieGram…

“We’re in an emergency situation.  The governor needs counsel.  And he needs to hear from voices outside his inner circle.  Especially legislators who are closer to their constituents on the ground and better able understand the impact of these decisions.  It’s time for the governor to call a special session.”

No go.

On April 4, 2020 I renewed my call…

“(A)ll 63 elected members of the Legislature should be called into a Special Session, the sooner the better. … We’re allowing too much power to be placed in the hands of one man who clearly has no experience whatsoever dealing with a situation like this.”

Once again, no go.

As the economic devastation from the #SislolakShutdown worsened – and it was clear the governor was not going to consult with nor obtain legislative approval for his “emergency” directives – I released on May 27, 2020 “Black’s Blueprint: 7 Steps for Rebuilding Nevada” which included the following…

1.)  EMERGENCY POWERS LIMITATION ACT

“It’s one thing to give the governor the power to declare a short-term emergency.  It’s another thing to give him an indefinite blank check – like what we’ve experienced during the COVID-19 shutdown.

“The Legislature needs to pass a bill that limits the scope and length of time any governor can wield ‘emergency powers’ – including the suspension of constitutional rights – without seeking the approval of the elected members of the Legislature.”

I also noted that if the governor refused to call a special session, legislators had the power to do so themselves.

The governor has since convened two special sessions and, not surprisingly, refused to include in his agenda any measure that would rein in the authoritarian powers he’s conveyed upon himself for almost FIVE MONTHS now.

So at the conclusion of today’s special session, Senate Minority Leader James Settelmeyer issued a formal “Petition of the Members of the Legislature of the State of Nevada to Convene a Special Session” which reads as follows…

“Now, therefore, the undersigned members of the Legislature, by virtue of the authority vested in them by the Constitution of the State of Nevada and by transmitting to the Secretary of State one of more substantially similar petitions signed, in the aggregate, by the required number of members calling for a special session, do hereby convene the Legislature into a special session to begin on or before Thursday, August 6, 2020.  The following business may be transacted during the special session:

1. 1. A bill to require a state of emergency or a declaration of disaster proclaimed by the Governor or by a resolution of the Legislature to terminate not later than 30 days after the proclamation of the state of emergency or declaration of disaster, unless, if the Legislature is not in session, a special session of the Legislature is convened and a 2/3’s majority of the Legislature approves the extension of the state of emergency or declaration of disaster, or, if the Legislature is in regular session, a 2/3’s majority of the Legislature approves the extension of the state of emergency or declaration of disaster.”

BINGO!

Unfortunately, by law a 2/3’s majority of the Legislature is required to call itself into a special session – and Republicans only make up a third of the Legislature.

Meaning Sen. Settelmeyer’s petition calling for a special session has virtually no chance of being approved by the Democrat majority.

But the mere act of calling for a special session to adopt an Emergency Powers Limitation bill is a HUGE step in the right direction and raises the issue to the voting public.  Just as importantly, it creates an election issue for GOP candidates to run on in November.

Republicans running against incumbent Democrats who refuse to sign Sen. Settelmeyer’s petition can bludgeon their opponents for supporting the governor’s blank check to continue destroying Nevada’s economy and worsening our budget deficit.

Looking forward to seeing the list of legislators who signed and didn’t sign the petition.  Sure hope EVERY Republican signed it.
