Last week, I was interviewed about co-writing the best-selling book, "One of a Kind" on the anniversary of Stu Ungar's death. Here's the full text.

Remembrances on the 25th Anniversary of Stu Ungar's Death
My New Article:
"While other states squash women's reproductive rights and outlaw access to abortion, Nevada should move swiftly into the void and become a sanctuary and a safe haven for pro-choice practitioners and advocates."
The corrupt, inept good old boy clique known as the "College Football Playoff Committee" is America's embarrassing version of Olympic ice skating and dirty judges. "Power conferences," meaningless shit bowl games--college football is a cesspool.

I've been involved in casino gambling, poker, and sports betting for a long time and one thing I've learned is -- *there's so much more to learn.*
Strong recommendation to follow/listen to
@BillKrackman
, who generously shares advice and exposes the myths, hype, and fraudsters.
Most of the time it’s hard to explain to others what I do for a living. Whether it’s Sports betting or Casino. More importantly it’s hard to find people that know how to listen and learn. Most do not have the temperament or patience. I love listening to the few pros I look up to.

One hour before kickoff. Pure adrenaline. $25,000 on the line tonight and first place in the Westgate SuperContest mid-season contest. My SECOND biggest $$$ swing in my sports betting life (lost $39,000 on a Super Bowl 15 years ago). Chicago Bears +3.5

It will take another SIX WEEKS to tear this sh*t down. Gee, I hope the high-roller room being packed at the Cosmopolitan for a few hours was worth the $500 million cost plus the incalculable disruptions, layoffs, cancellations, and frustration.

Just watched CNN's coverage of Rosalynn Carter's funeral today, and was really touched by

and
@garthbrooks
doing John Lennon's 1971 "Imagine" during the service.
Lovely. Emotional. Perfect.

Sing it Dolly! Performing today's second halftime show. What a costume! Awesome!
Added note: She did a track off her latest (rock) album, a cover of Queen's, "We Are the Champions."
Love it!

Conservatives are ALWAYS on the wrong side of history. Now, the cost of ignorance is mass suffering.
Conservatives have been denying man-made climate change for decades, and now people are dying.

Good for you. You finally understand the principles of DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM. Public transportation Infrastructure. Government taking the lead. It works.
Too bad you are so backward on every other important issue.

Initially, I didn't like this week's NFL schedule. Then, I started reading and researching.
I'm now up to 21 bets, totaling about $5,000 in wagers.
I have a good feeling this week.

I typically love Jeff's posts, but this is utterly foolish. Sen. Joe Manchin was the BEST possible scenario for Democrats in WVA, a deep RED STATE that Trump won by 29 points. Manchin's departure means a brick in the firewall against authoritarianism has crumbled.

What a week! All 7 tickets went a perfect 5-0. Eight teams picked/all covered = perfect week at 35-0. Incredibly, all 7 tickets are now in contention. Collectively, these tickets are +76 games over .500 mark (350 picks through 10 weeks). No one has 7 tickets all in contention.

Anti-VAXers aren't just dangerous to themselves, they risk a return to scary times before modern medicine alleviated mass suffering.

Why is it the most uncreative people, with no original thought, often lacking in talent, devoid of ideas, shallow and rudderless, dumb beyond words....usually have the MOST social media followers.

Country music is regarded as a bastion of conservative politics. But is this accurate? History shows that many of country music’s most revered icons were far more liberal than you may think.
Is Country-Western Music Conservative or Liberal?
I've never been a fan of country music or Garth Brooks, but I sure respect the hell out of him now.

Anti-VAXers aren’t just dangerous to themselves. They risk a plunge back to scary times before modern medicine alleviated mass suffering.
Anti-VAXers are worse than any pandemic.
They breed ignorance. They’re fucking conspiracy mosquitos.

Thanks to President Biden and the Democratic INFRASTRUCTURE bill, which Republicans kicked down the road for years. NOW, Gov. Abbott is trying to take credit for something that was passed in WASHINGTON by Dems, and money even goes to leaders who OPPOSED infrastructure spending.

A country-western song has become the wacko-Right's new anthem, which has ignited a national debate. I think this explains the reality of the debate, and why we on the Left call out the continuing scourge of hate and racism in America.

This vile Republican senator
@TTuberville
blocked hundreds of military promotions, created absurd delays in chains of commands, jeopardized military preparedness, and wasted everyone's time for a year. He doesn't give a damn about vets ... unless trying to woo them as voters.

Hunter Biden was indicted today. Good.
I'll say this again. Biden (the son) committed crimes and should be punished. He's also stupid as hell.
But there's NO EVIDENCE Hunter's crimes have anything to do with his father.

On his arrest forms, apparently
#Trump
can "self declare." He claims he's 215 lbs. (that's off by at least 30-40 lbs.). When asked "hair color," Trump put down "blond and strawberry." Holy shit, this serial lying sociopath even LIES on his arrest form!

You have school choice NOW. If you have money, you likely send your child to a private school (usually to be indoctrinated by religion). Choice exists NOW. Quit making up problems and dividing people, which seems to be your obsession.

I just had someone threaten me. When I looked at his profile, he had 0 followers.
Zero.
How does anyone have 0 followers? Hell, my dead cat had his own Twitter/X account and even though he died in 2019, he still has 3 followers.

The 17-year disaster continues. PR is non-existent. Zero outreach to locals. No incentives or specials. Constant disruption to area small businesses capped with blind arrogance. No public face for the company, aside from financiers who know nothing about the casino business.

Here’s a shout out to
@coreylevitan
for his excellent research and interesting articles about life in Las Vegas. I strongly encourage subscribing to his feed, especially if you’re a local and/or you enjoy reading about our city’s people and history.
FACT: Eight of the 10 states with the highest murder rates are dominated by Republicans. The five-worst states are Mississippi, Louisiana, Kentucky, Alabama, and Missouri.
The Republican Record on Crime is Appalling
@RepPatFallon
Hunter Biden is garbage and very likely guilty of several crimes. That said, YOU and REPUBLICANS got outplayed and exposed as partisan frauds. Pathetic that a coke-snorting grifter outfoxes the entire Republican Congress. Oh, and you may want to investigate Trumps kiddie spawn.

Former Mayor Scumbag "wasn't able to offer any evidence in (his) defense?"
Huh????????
Hey, Rudy ---- YOU made a decision NOT to testify. You had a chance to present "evidence." You caved, and didn't show up, coward.
Oh, and good luck with your CRIMINAL trial, coming up.
The absurdity of the amount is indicative of the absurdity and unfairness of the entire proceeding.
It bore no resemblance to a trial in a country with the rule of law. I wasn't able to offer any evidence in my defense. We'll have more to say and look forward to the appeal.

Both are the same age. However, they lived two very different lives. One bounces around the stage, dancing, having fun, traveling the world, and sings from memory without notes or a teleprompter.
The other is a mindless vegetable, the product of a right-wing Christian holy life.
