A roundup of the latest from the Nevada Current,
presented with perspective and opinion.

Well isn't that special? Prior to the the obscene threats to invade Greenland and the grotesquely idiotic Iran war, European leaders routinely sniveled, groveled, bowed, and scraped before Trump because they figured however malodorous, sucking up to him was the best way to navigate him. And few sucked up harder than UK PM Keir Starmer. Which is why Charles and Camilla are in Washington right now. Starmer arranged it way back in February 2025, he and Trump both gushing about the UK-US "special relationship."

Coinciding with the king's visit is the news, via remarks leaked to the Financial Times, that the UK's ambassador to the US (the new ambassador, not his creepy Epstein-y predecessor) in February of this year told a group “I think there is probably one country that has a special relationship with the United States — and that is probably Israel.” 

At least three out of five Democrats in Nevada's congressional delegation probably wouldn't have it any other way.

IN NEVADA CURRENT

Don't speak. Danny Tarkanian, who may have more experience running for more political offices than any person in Nevada history, candidly informed your friendly Nevada Current that even though he is running to be the attorney general of one of the states of these United States, Nevada, specifically, he could not and would not be interviewed because his campaign consultants told him not to. At least Tark responded to the request, if only to deny it. Adriana Guzmán Fralick, who Republican Gov. Joe Lombardo's campaign picked to run for attorney general because it doesn't want Lombardo to be on the same ballot as Danny Tarkanian, simply didn't respond to requests for an interview. How are these people going to find the courage to protect Nevada from, I dunno, Sharia law or pizza/pedophile shops or whatever other imaginary but politically potent threats Republicans might identify on any given day, if they don't have the guts to answer basic questions like, Why do you want to be attorney general? After giving them ample time and opportunity to respond, the unsinkable April Corbin Girnus wrote a fine story on their primary anyway: Republican AG primary pits Lombardo’s choice against perennial candidate with a famous name

Meanwhile, obviously far more mature and responsible political candidates (well, two out of three of them anyway) explain why they're seeking public office in this story by Dana Gentry: Attorneys challenge Henderson judge

Creepy. Seriously, why does the Deep State even bother to secretly implant trackers via vaccines when your phone is already telling The System where you are at all times? Oh but wait, there's more. Justice Sonia Sotomayor warned that if the government can access your location data without a warrant because you let Google Maps track your location, the government is free to rifle through all sorts of other data shared with the company, such as photos and calendar entries. The DC bureau's Jonathan Shorman reports: US Supreme Court weighs how far police investigations can go in using cellphone location data

Fomenting paranoia of ‘the other’ is as old as the hills and twice as dusty. Republican lawmakers and candidates across the country have escalated their anti-Islam rhetoric in recent months, a strategy aimed at energizing voters by claiming without evidence that Muslim culture and religious tenets threaten American political values.
