(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

1 thought on “Sisolak’s Last Supper: Pizza for Me but Not for Thee!”
Differently like your attitude and your statements. So, damn few politicians keep there 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.
For the record we met several times at Chucks conservative luncheons.
