Kill the Penny AND the Dollar Bill!

KELY 1230AM/98.5 FM News and Commentary ·

2025/02/10

President Trump’s efforts to save money by ending the production of pennies is just a small part of what we need to do to save money with money. Dollar bills cost about 8 cents to produce and only last around six years. But dollar coins cost about 15 cents to produce and last more than 30 years! Sources say that could save our government $184 million a year, or over 5 billion dollars over a 30 year period! So get rid of the penny and the dollar bill. And put President Trump on the dollar coin

KELY 1230AM/98.5 FM News and Commentary ·

2025/02/04

The furor over USAID and their woke policies is just a fraction of the reason the agency should be defunded. Over 30 years ago, in 1992, the late Chuck Harder talked about how USAID was funding Textile Industry startups in Latin America - Nicaragua and El Salvador. In the process, industries moved to those third world countries and put American Textile industries out of business so YOU could have 99 cent T-shirts. It continued into the Biden Administration with pushes into Guatemala, the

2025/01/30

While I am not totally on board with the President’s remarks Thursday regarding the tragic air crash near Reagan National Airport in Washington DC, I thoroughly agree with the sentiments. The best and the brightest should be employed in ALL positions, not just our Air Traffic Control system and our military. To insist on Diversity Equity or Inclusion candidates over the best and the brightest is an insane standard. Yes, we must be inclusive, but the absolute best must be in these critical

It’s not just poor illegal immigrants that are trying to game the system on Birthright Citizenship. You might remember back in 2019 we reported on the story of two Southern Californians running a company called You Win USA and USA Happy Baby. They helped several hundred birth tourists between 2012 and 2015 and charged as the tourists much as $40,000 for services including apartment rentals during their stays in Southern California. The clients were predominantly from China allegedly fleeing the

People don’t get why we kvetch so much about TikTok. Every social media app spies on you. Facebook, X, Reddit, they all do. But here’s the problem. The others are not controlled by a government full of hackers ready to try to exploit every bit of data your phone contains. While China says they oppose hacking attacks, their hackers have recently attacked the US Treasury, AT&T and Verizon Systems, The Philippine Presidential offices, and power grids. No, you may not have national security

It is with a sense of pride to announce to our listeners that KELY will be broadcasting the inauguration of our 47th president on Monday with coverage to begin during Your Morning. Our broadcast and the coverage would not be possible without our affiliation with CBS News Radio. The extensive coverage that our association with a news organization that has correspondents around the world makes coverage like this possible.

This Saturday will be the annual Lincoln Day Breakfast at the Bristlecone Convention Center. In addition to a number of local Republicans, many state members of the state party and elected representatives will be on hand. This is a rare opportunity for you, the voter, to engage with your elected representatives and let them know about your concerns, your wishes, and your desires. Make no mistake, a significant message was sent to Washington in this years election. But more is needed

Which Commissioners are actually doing the job?

In watching the White Pine County Commission meeting of January 8th it was very obvious which commissioners had done their preparation for the meeting and who hadn’t. To those Commissioners who came ready to participate, congratulations and thank you. To those who don’t understand that without a City Manager how much more work is going to be needed by them to prepare and participate in these meetings, please step up and do your homework. Do not abrogate your responsibility to the citizens that

Monday's Commission Meeting a sign of things to come

KELY 1230AM/98.5 FM News and Commentary ·

2025/01/07

It’s a busy week for local Government. The County Commission has opted not to continue having a county manager, and new members rejected two members for appointed boards, one for legal concerns, and one over personal conflicts. Make no mistake, the county commission will erupt in fireworks sooner than later. And when they discover how much work they’ll have to pick up now that there’s not a County Manager to do their bidding…well, we told you so. The Commission meets at 9am Wednesday the 8th in

Monday sets the tone for the new County Commission

2025/01/03

The first meeting of the new White Pine county commission comes up on Monday, and it will be interesting to see what happens. While Monday’s meeting is mostly ceremonial and housekeeping, it will set the tone for the new year. With a mostly new commission, it will be interesting to see how much gets accomplished and how much DIRT a certain Commissioner Dirt is able to throw around. Let’s see if the voters got it right. It might be worth a trip to the Library Conference Room on Monday Morning at

More proof on the importance of Trade Schools

KELY 1230AM/98.5 FM News and Commentary ·

2024/12/26

More proof that we need more people in the trades. The White Pine Television District let us know at the Christmas Dinner that their microwave relay bringing in the Salt Lake TV stations has failed and has to be shipped back to the factory on the east coast. All the TV district technicians are well over retirement age with no one locally or even regionally that can work on those components under the age of 60! Unless and until our parents, schools and colleges start giving trade schools the same

A profound THANK YOU to our great engineer Joe Sands who rearranged his schedule to drive up to Ely, then drove back to Vegas and back to get a power supply to get us back on the air! While having lunch at the best burger place in Ely, he affirmed what I said in a recent Facebook commentary. Every day, the lack of people wanting to get into trades is shocking. Finding good plumbers, mechanics, electricians is getting to be a massive challenge. Getting people to do the work is nearly impossible

Don't forget the Wind Farm Promises!

2024/11/20

At a recent Ely City Council meeting a former councilman came out in favor of the boondoggle known as the White Pine Pumped Storage project. The former councilman claimed that it would bring twelve million dollars annually to the tax base. Has the former councilman forgotten the Spring Valley Wind Farm which made similar promises, then got tax abatements that essentially nullified all those promises. Plus the Wind Farm didn’t steal our water to the tune of eighteen million gallons a year. Don’t

Make the GOP in the Reform Party's Image!

KELY 1230AM/98.5 FM News and Commentary ·

2024/11/12

The future of the Republican party is in the Trump MAGA base. Having seen how popular the platform was from the inside, I can tell you that the majority of Americans are of the mold of Ross Perot’s old Reform Party, Fiscal Conservatives and Social libertarians - that is, let people live their own lives. As the producer of (Perot's) Vice Presidential Candidate Pat Choate's talk show, I saw from the inside how the Democrat and Republican parties control the system at the Federal Election Commission to

We talk about the pride of voting. The pride of being part of the process. But there is a disengagement in the number of responsible people willing to get involved in local government. Of people not tied to the local political machines and well connected churches to get involved in politics. There was only one contested race on the Ely City council, and no contested races for School board or Hospital board. But NO ONE chose to run for the Baker Sewer/Water Board, the McGill Ruth Sewer Water

Early voting is underway. It’s important that you get to the polls and cast your votes now. You can and should carry your mail ballot and take it directly to the County Clerk's office, or go in and cast your ballot and don’t wait for election day. Vote NO on every question except question 7. I voted for one Libertarian, Doug Saunders, because of issues with the Republican in that race, but by and large, I voted a straight conservative ticket.
