CARSON CITY — A conservative group angered by gun control legislation and other progressive measures approved in Nevada last year has filed a petition with the state in an effort to boot Gov. Steve Sisolak out of office.

Fight for Nevada, which was formed last year and is based in Elko, filed the notice of intent for the recall with the Nevada secretary of state’s office in Carson City Friday morning. The group’s president, Angela Blass, said she’s worried that Sisolak is “basically going to destroy Nevada like California,” echoing a common attack used by Sisolak’s opponents during the 2018 campaign cycle.

Blass, 42, pointed to a gun control bill passed last year that banned bump stocks and enacted stricter gun storage provisions and a “red flag” provision enabling authorities to seize guns from those deemed a threat to themselves or others that Sisolak signed into law. She said she was also concerned over a disputed tax extension bill that Republicans argued should have required a two-thirds vote.

-End-

Anyone looking to find a petition to sign to recall Governor Sisolak should check the website FREQUENTLY as it gets updated often. If you don't see it right now, check back in an hour, or tomorrow. Or, call one of the phone numbers listed on the website and let them know you want to sign, but there isn't anywhere you can, just now.

Part of an effort to honor hospitalized Veterans, the VA Southern Nevada Healthcare System (VASNHS) will participate in the Department of Veterans Affairs’ National Salute to Veteran Patients Feb. 9-15.

The National Salute is observed annually during the week of Valentine's Day, a day of caring and sharing which underscores the Salute's expression of honor and appreciation to inpatient and outpatient Veterans. Nationwide, schools, community groups and youth organizations sent more than 109,000 valentines to VA medical centers, which were distributed to Veteran patients at facilities across the country. Additionally, more than 2,900 volunteers and 521 community organizations contributed to events and activities recognizing hospitalized Veterans. At the VA Southern Nevada Healthcare System, Volunteers are a critical part of the success of the system’s ability to serve nearly 65,800 Veterans annually. In 2019 alone, 586 men and women provided more than 110,000 volunteer hours serving Veterans.
VASNHS Voluntary Service is hosting several events throughout the week. Community partners will be visiting the North Las Vegas VA Medical Center to distribute cards, cookies, and cupcakes made with care for our Veterans. VASNHS’ community VA clinics will be visited by local congressional staffers who will distribute heart-felt cards from with local schools and Boys & Girls Clubs to Veteran patients. The VFW Auxiliary will be passing out sweets at the Pahrump VA Clinic, and multiple visits are planned to the medical center’s inpatient units to pay special attention to hospitalized veterans.

“VA Southern Nevada Healthcare System values the contributions of our volunteers, donors and partners in helping us keep the promise to America’s Veterans,” said VASNHS Director/CEO William J. Caron. “These community resources confirm to our Veterans that we are a nation that cares and remembers their sacrifices every day.”

For those wanting to volunteer and join the mission to honor the sacrifice and service of America's Veterans during the National Salute or any time of year, visit the nearest VA facility or contact Voluntary Service online at www.volunteer.va.gov.

Thank you to KPVM-TV, Ace Country Radio, Quality Signs, Dust Bunnies Cleaning, JMC Roofing?, Home Depot, Walmart, Ronda Van Winkle and Vernon Van Winkle, Janet Errett, Darbie O'Donnell and Josh Westerman, Frank Carbone, Lisa and the boys, Ben and his amazing daughter Kira, and Reva Braun.

We can even help disabled clean up their properties. Unfortunately there is enough trash for everyone. We hope to teach people to be more responsible with how they dispose of garbage.

PV Disposal is free and located right here in town!

See you in a couple months, again.

The Nevada Secretary of State’s Elections Division reminds voters that the Secretary of State’s office and county election officials have no role whatsoever in the Nevada presidential caucus process. While state election officials encourage participation in the process, the presidential caucuses are run entirely by the political parties and are not considered elections under state law. All decisions with regards to administering the caucuses, including the technology used to support the process, are made by the parties and have nothing to do with the Office of the Nevada Secretary of State.

Individuals with questions concerning the Democratic presidential caucus are encouraged to contact the Nevada State Democratic Party. The Nevada State Republican Party will not be holding a presidential caucus in Nevada in 2020.

Did you make a resolution to be more active in 2020? If so, you might want to consider running. One recent study suggests running -- even in small doses -- may help you live longer. Cleveland Clinic's Dr. Dominic King says any type of exercise is healthy, but running is a great whole-body workout.

It seems a lot of younger people just aren't interested in a career in construction. So the UP Companies, based in Saint Louis, is taking a unique approach to recruiting new talent -- creating a parody song and music video of 'Old Town Road' by Lil Nas X, appropriately named 'Old Construction Road.'

(Reuters) - A man accused of killing two police officers while acting as the leader of an al Qaeda group in the Iraqi city of Fallujah was arrested in Phoenix, Arizona, federal officials said on Friday.

Ali Yousif Ahmed Al-Nouri, 42, is wanted in Iraq on charges of premeditated murder of the Iraqi police officers in 2006, according to a statement by the U.S. Attorney’s Office District of Arizona.

An Iraqi judge issued a warrant for Al-Nouri’s arrest and the government there issued an extradition request to the U.S. Justice Department, the statement said.

The Justice Department sought an arrest warrant for Al-Nouri and he was taken into custody on Thursday in Phoenix.

He appeared before a federal magistrate judge in Phoenix on Friday in connection with proceedings to extradite him to Iraq, the statement said.

According to the Iraqi government, al-Nouri was the leader of an al Qaeda group in Fallujah which planned operations targeting Iraqi police.

The statement noted the details in the Iraqi complaint were allegations that had yet to been proven in court.

Al-Nouri’s extradition would have to be certified by the U.S. court and the U.S. Secretary of State would then decide whether to surrender him to Iraq, the statement said.

It was not immediately possible to contact Al-Nouri for comment or determine whether he had hired a lawyer.

The statement did not provide information on when Al-Nouri entered the United States or how long he had lived in Phoenix.
