Why aren’t kids these days doing anything to help parents around the house? I saw a Home Shopping demonstrator saying, “This (appliance) gives me more time with my kids…” Huh?
We used to be IN the kitchen with Mom, or doing the lawn with Dad. Of course we didn’t like it, but we did it. Our home wasn’t a B&B. We weren’t GUESTS.
Looks like a Culinary Union strike has been averted, which is good for everyone.
Chris G, who’s running for Governor, had a chance to force sex offending teachers to register as sex offenders but removed that requirement from legislation when she was a legislator in 2005. Will that tilt the primary in favor of Steve Sisolak? We’ll see…
Toure’ is a broadcaster, podcaster, author and cultural critic. There’s virtually nothing we agree on, but then again, our experiences have been very different. On my podcast #68, I discussed a recent column he wrote about how white people can call the police and automatically be believed. He heard my podcast, we made contact, and then WE had a chat about it. Here are parts 1 & 2.
On this Memorial Day, many people in America are talking about “affordable housing”, lack of hospitals in rural areas, etc. The incredible freedom we have in American does’t mean everything is FREE.
It’s fun to watch Dems going after each other, like the GOP candidates usually do. Tick Segerblom is being accused of all kinds of things by his opponent, and Commissioners Steve Sisolak and Chris G are wasting money slugging it out in a bloody Gubernatorial primary, which ultimately benefits Adam Laxalt. Good.
And as the Culinary strike looms, I have some thoughts on that.
The Culinary Union members in Vegas have voted to strike, which could affect tens of thousands of workers and casino profits, should they actually follow through. The union is asking for more guarantees than they should, far beyond pay raises. They also want guarantees that employees wont be replaced by technology. WHAT? And they want protections for workers with Green Cards. They have really overstepped this time. Management is NOT obligated to manage your career – that’s YOUR job. Adapt or fall by the wayside.
Once again, there are more calls for gun control in light of the latest school shooting, but where are the PARENTS? In the Santa Fe Texas shooting, the kid killed a girl and other because he was romantically REJECTED? She publicly told him off? Sounds like he pestered her so much he was asking for it. Gee, how many other boys were rejected and moved ON with their lives? And once again, police are able to find out things about how a shooter was thinking that parents didn’t know (or want to know). FAMILIES are the first line of defense against anything.
If you allow your kid to have a computer in his or her room, shame on you. You need to be IN your kids’ business, before they become society’s problem.
Twitter should be renamed kneejerk.com because of the way people literally “jump the gun” without having ANY facts when events are unfolding.
Writer and TV host Toure’ says that the ability to call police and be automatically believed is an example of white power and privilege. Is he right? And what about kids who are taught that cops are out to get them from day one? How will the lives of the people in communities who distrust cops ever improve? If you can’t report crimes to the police, the criminals are in charge.
A Nevada brothel madam joined me to explain why she sees prostitution as a feminist job. Obviously I think it’s immoral, but that doesn’t mean I judge the ladies in the industry. I wanted you to hear how that side of the argument feels about it.
For me, it’s sad that men and women can’t find one person and have a happy life, sexually and otherwise, and sex is supposed to be sacred, but I understand that’s not the reality or belief of every person. My opinion hasn’t changed, because it’s based on principle, but I’m always nice to my guests, whether I agree with them or not.
In May 1988, PEPCON, a Henderson factory that made ammonium and sodium perchlorate, blew up. The explosions were heard ALL over the Las Vegas valley, and windows and doors in houses and businesses were blown out for miles around.
Everyone who was in Las Vegas on the fateful day remembers where they were. Dominick Rodriguez, who nowadays is my Pastor, was IN the building when things went awry. Here’s his story.
If anyone knows who was driving the paving machine that knocked the back fence down, allowing man workers to escape, let me know…
