They tell me that professional football is coming to Las Vegas via Oakland California… yep, they say the Oakland Raiders will become the Las Vegas Raiders. As far as I’m concerned that’s a win-win for everyone. Having Professional Football in Las Vegas will add a jewel into the crown of Las Vegas Sports where the city has been dubbed as the boxing capital of the world filling most hotel rooms with every championship fight. The[…]
Date: October 1, 2016 To: Internal Affairs, Office of the Sheriff, Health and Safety, Records, Public Information Office, Legal Section. From: Former Detective Gordon Martines pn-1533 Subject: Retirement Credentials To Whom it may concern, I just recently became aware of the situation with former Detective Scott Friedman and his complete exoneration from criminal and civil charges, wrongfully brought on by the LVMPD. I am not aware of the detailed circumstances as of yet, but I know of the final[…]
Last Saturday, while playing in Binion’s Saturday poker tournament, my vest with my wallet, with identification, money and personal belongings, was stolen. Aside from the indifference and inability of the casino’s security to deal with the theft, my discussions with other patrons indicate that this is an all too common occurrence at this establishment. The theft took place near the end of the tournament, which had then been moved to the poker room from the large poker area where it had begun.[…]
We the people are fed up with the lies and deceit of the greedy politicians who think more of themselves than the people they represent. They are a group of self-righteous individuals who capitalize on every opportunity to benefit themselves. Our voice is being heard loud and clear. Politicians, you will mistreat us no more. We will elect a person who is not a politician and cannot be bought. One who is on a mission to take this[…]
Recently, when I went to McDonald’s I saw on the menu that you could have an order of 6, 9 or 12 Chicken McNuggets. I asked for a half dozen nuggets. ‘We don’t have half dozen nuggets,’ said the teenager at the counter. ‘You don’t?’ I replied. ‘We only have six, nine, or twelve,’ was the reply. ‘So I can’t order a half dozen nuggets, but I can order six?’ ‘That’s right.’ So I shook my head and ordered[…]
By Orlis Trone What do political declarations such as “You didn’t build that,” “Don’t let anybody tell you that it’s corporations and businesses that create jobs,” “There is nobody in the country who got rich on their own,” etc., have in common? They are variants of the same philosophy — socialism — and they are full-throated assertions made in public by the progressive leadership of the Democratic Party. Back in 2008, such comments would have doomed Senator Barack Obama’s bid for[…]
It seems that Boston and other cities in the northeast are melting snow and dumping into the rivers and the harbor because they have no more room for it. I have an idea: Why don’t we melt that snow into huge blocks of ice and then transport these blocks of ice west by train or semi truck to Lake Mead, where after 14 years of drought has left North America’s largest man-made reservoir at its lowest level since the Hoover Dam[…]
Distinguished members of the Senate and House of Representatives: First of all, our congratulations for your support in trying to establish democracy and freedom for the long-suffering people of Cuba. It is inconceivable to us that President Obama and his team had accepted the conditions of tyrant Castro without extracting any political, economic or civic concessions. Neither the 30 articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, nor the Fundamental Liberties (liberty of expression, of assembly, of the press, of opinion, of[…]
Dear Ms. Viasmensky, I am sorry to admit that it was just today that I read your article about young Hailee Lambert that you wrote and published on November 1, 2014. When my grandson moved to the Las Vegas area from Mississippi back in 2008 and began attending elementary school here, he made friends with Hailee Lambert. That friendship spanned the years until Hailee’s untimely death on December 11, 2013. Hailee Lambert was my grandson’s best friend and first love.[…]
