This was a great column from Stacy Rudin on Medium. If you question the efficacy of masks, “you want to kill grandma”, “you’re ignoring science”, “you’d kill people to revive the ecomony”, “you’re a Trump supporter”, etc. Not really. We, the thinking people, have questions, as we should.
Frank Cullotta made his name as a hitman for the infamous Tony Spilotro in Las Vegas. He was a fascinating character, to be sure. Some of Frank’s murders were portrayed in the movie “Casino”. I had the chance to interview him several times over the years, and I’ve put a couple of interviews together here […]
Admiral William McRaven, an amazing military leader, a retired Admiral and former US Navy SEAL. He served as the ninth commander of the US Special Operations Command. He was also Chancellor of the University of Texas System. Recently he came to the attention among people who’d never heard of him when the Commencement speech he gave at the […]
Yes, having fun is the worst possible thing you could do now. Traveling? Especially to Vegas? Even worse. You’d be “gambling with your life” according to Pro Publica. Breaking news: There is inherent risk in LIVING. Getting on a plane that might crash, sitting next to someone who, even before March 2020, could give you […]
The Democrat controlled Clark County Commission (which is where Las Vegas is) recently voted to prevent “discrimination” by landlords when choosing tenants. Property owners should have a right to “discern” whether or not a tenant will be able to pay long term if an unemployed person rents and their benefits run out. That’s not the […]
It’s election time, and as you can imagine, my email, which is aways full of guest pitches, is especially busy now. I know everyone is shorthanded these days and desperately paddling to keep their heads above water. Emails are time sucks, and take up an inordinate amount of everyone’s time, don’t they? I actually know an […]
In an interesting blog post, this comedy club owner and native New Yorker clearly outlines why he believes NYC won’t come back from the economic and societal changes caused by the pandemic. He makes some great points, many of which apply to Vegas, I’m afraid. What he fails to mention are the economic policies created […]
I attended the Evangelicals for Trump event in Las Vegas recently, which the City of Las Vegas tried to shut down at the last minute. Luckily the owners of the venue showed some spine, and refused to close it down. There was controversy, of course. Too bad so sad, Governor/City of Las Vegas. We have […]
There’s more and more talk of “tracking” people who’ve had Covid-19, had the vaccine, or haven’t had either one, through biometrics. This is a great opportunity for those who want to track our health and possibly our movements, to be able to justify it under the guise of what’s best for “public health”. You may […]
Most people I know are leery about getting a vaccine that is rushed-to-market. Only 30% of Brits are willing to get it. Some are saying it’s your patriotic duty to get the shot, and an IMMUNIZATION CARD may even be required. Now there’s talk about people being FORCED to get it in order to return […]
