A pastor in a very large Southern church has decide to close church for several months because, among other reason, he doesn’t like the “cancel culture”. What nonsense. Perhaps while he’s on sabbatical, he should read the Book of Acts. The early church had it much worse. Buck up, pal! Or choose another profession, where […]
A recent column from Marshall Allen in Pro Publica says” Cellphone data shows how Las Vegas is ‘Gambling with lives’ across the country”. Experts analyzed cell phone data to see where people went who had been in Vegas, and they had traveled to 49 states in four days. These so-called “experts” used phrases like casinos […]
Some of the U.S. Senate recently commissioned a report on “The demise of the happy two parent home”, and the findings weren’t surprising. The foundation of a strong society is strong families. Illegitimacy is the number one cause of poverty in America. A child without a father is more likely to be incarcerated, act up […]
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 […]
