Station Casinos To Keep Texas Station, Fiesta Rancho, Fiesta Henderson And Palms Closed Indefinitely

Station Casinos To Keep Texas Station, Fiesta Rancho, Fiesta Henderson And Palms Closed IndefinitelyThe COVID-19 pandemic is and always has been a very complex crisis. Most significantly, it is simultaneously a public health crisis and an economic crisis. Partisans who suggest that that one should be prioritized to the exclusion of the other are being disingenuous and oversimplifying a situation to which there is no simple answer. While the metrics of the public health component of the pandemic are fairly easy to grasp on a superficial level–the number of deaths, positive tests, hospitalizations, etc.–the economic devastation caused is more difficult to wrap your head around. It's easy to look at raw data in a vacuum but metrics like the unemployment rate and gross domestic product are only the tip of the iceberg.

The Marxists Are Winning – What Black Lives Matter Really Wants

The Marxists Are Winning – What Black Lives Matter Really WantsMarxists have a genius for the use of language as misdirection. What do you call a place where you lock up your political opponents, make them do hard labor, subject them to an endless barrage of propaganda, and then kill them if they still resist? A reeducation camp. Kind of sounds like adult summer school.

Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò: Letter to the President

Mr. President, In recent months we have been witnessing the formation of two opposing sides that I would call Biblical: the children of light and the children of darkness. The children of light constitute the most conspicuous part of humanity, while the children of darkness represent an absolute minority. And yet the former are the object of a sort of discrimination which places them in a situation of moral inferiority with respect to their adversaries, who often hold strategic positions in government, in politics, in the economy and in the media. In an apparently inexplicable way, the good are held hostage by the wicked and by those who help them either out of self-interest or fearfulness.

Telus and Bell would not consider using Huawei in their telecommunications systems

When I heard the news that both Telus and Bell would not consider using Huawei in their telecommunications systems but other providers from Europe, I was relieved. These huge companies took the high road and put Canada’s security first. They understand the potential security consequences of using China’s 5G . Unlike our great elitist leader who has not committed to what ‘Canada’ would do, the big telecommunications companies took the initiative and supported what the majority of Canadians want. Thank you Telus and Bell for keeping our security top of your priority.

Time to report more than the Covid-19 issues

While Trudeau stands in front of the cameras each morning, telling us how wonderful he is going to give relief to Canadians (he understands our pain, of course – sorrow in dramatic form) with OUR own money, all we hear are reports on Covid 19 almost exclusively. When was the last time you sang O Canada – and belted out “we stand on guard for thee”? That is the most laughable phrase in our anthem in my opinion as I watch:

Who can we hold responsible for this kind of WASTE? I am livid with our government

I forward this article to those I feel will not only act on the travesty of what it contains, BUT start to put more accountability in departments involved with this scandalous discovery. I suspect the Liberals would like nothing more than for this to just blow away – never to be known – but perhaps asking our PM just what the ‘heck’ is going down under his ‘charge’ would be worth it all. Please read this article and act on it in any manner, in the name of Canadian citizens who put so much trust in our government. Today, I lost a lot of faith in our federal system. I hope you can find a way to make this restore it with doing something right.

Proper Senior Care LONG overdue!

My experience with senior care in Alberta has been borderline a nightmare. It is now obvious this same nightmare is present in most provinces as well. It took a deadly virus to finally, FINALLY alert the governments at both levels, that seniors were not only neglected, they have been forgotten.

How soon we forget

I lived through the 2WW. I was just a young kid then. I do remember how churches were busting around the seams. WarWW came to end and it didn't take long for Americans to forget the effects that 2WW left. May we never forget covid19

What did the Quebec premier think was going to happen?

What did the Quebec premier think was going to happen when there was such strong opposition, to the point of cancellation, of the first pipeline, Energy East, proposed across Quebec? ( no appetite for pipelines ) Then the illegal blockades by Indigenous groups affecting the entire country without any real Federal level of intervention? Why would any investors want to put money into Canada when there is no government support for the projects, with actual government level impediments thrown up, and a general lack of law enforcement from the higher powers? Even the Average Guy can figure this one out!

She Grew Up in a Communist Country. She’s Terrified America Will Go the Same Way

She Grew Up in a Communist Country. She’s Terrified America Will Go the Same WayMonalisa Foster didn’t know bananas were supposed to be yellow. The bananas she ate were green. It wasn’t her fault. She grew up in Nicolae Ceaușescu’s communist Romania, where food was scarce and people waited in line for rations. Now, especially with the presidential election coming up, Monalisa worries that the U.S. could be headed down the same path with socialism.

Shut down the pipeline? Are you Crazy?

You naysayers want to just flush the money, OUR MONEY, that Justin spent buying the pipeline down the toilet? This isn't a project with a lifespan of a few years. The original line is coming up on 70 years of service. Yes, the cost today is high but over the next 70 years it will more than pay for itself and contribute to Canada's energy self-sufficiency. Without the existing pipeline lower mainland BC has ZERO petroleum products. The locally refined products are produced with crude from TMX. The products refined here and shipped are shipped by TMX! The American refinery in Point Roberts, Wa is fed from the TMX line. Once you've successfully killed the only pipeline from the oil source to the consumption point what is going to provide fuel for the millions who live in Vancouver and area? Start doing your homework and understand the ramifications of your ill-informed stand on the pipeline, politicians. DO your job. The Average Guy is better informed than you!

Obamacare, the gift that keeps on giving

Obamacare, the gift that keeps on giving, is in front of the Supreme Court once again. Blue States and Dems are asking the courts to preserve the individual mandate. The mandate was struck down as the result of the "Tax Cuts and Job Act of 2017". The decision was based on the fact that, since the mandate was no longer bringing in revenue, it could no longer be called a tax.

Sleeper cells among us

The western nations, namely The USA and Canada are in for a rude awakening. The amount of movement to the extreme left is a threat to us all. These cells are part of a movement that is growing and infiltrating our governments. Thousands of years of hysteria developed in Europe and the Middle East has come to a point were it must empire build in other nations such as the Western countries. Entering these countries and becoming citizens or foreign national women giving birth here and going back allows them to now be part of the government and have agendas.

The U.S-Iran ‘Maximum Pressure’ Campaign: A new proxy war in the Middle East?

The United States has hurled its first airstrikes in nearly a decade against Iran-backed militia forces in Iraq and Syria. The U.S-Iran ‘Maximum Pressure’ Campaign: A new proxy war in the Middle East?Cloaked under the umbrella of a ‘maximum pressure’ campaign, whereby draconian U.S economic sanctions compel Iran to more worthwhile enterprises at the table of negotiations, it now seems evident, that, this ‘political betrothal’ is now steering the US into a new proxy war in the Middle East.

Nancy Pelosi has overstepped her place in our government.

Nancy Pelosi has overstepped her place in our government. Who does she think she is to be refusing to send the Articles of Impeachment to the Senate for trial? She did her job, she got the votes to impeach, now it is time to let the Senate do its job. If she didn't think the Senate would do the job it is tasked to do, then perhaps she should not have agreed to start the process on such weak charges. Regardless of what has transpired and why, the process must forward to a conclusion.

If you are a logically minded Republican, Democrat or Independent, one questions should be on the tip of your tongue

If you are a logically minded Republican, Democrat or Independent, one questions should be on the tip of your tongue. Why would a multi-billion dollar, international, holding company pay a totally unqualified (by his own admission) individual to sit on the board of directors? A little research shows that neither the company nor the board member had very good track records. With a pool of people out there who are knowledgeable in oil exploration, why would you chose Hunter Biden? There is only one possible answer to that question-quid pro quo. Any other conclusion is naïve. Large, multi-national corporations do not put washed up drug users on their boards for no good reason. All other investigations aside, this one should have bipartisan support.

I am beyond tired of being painted as heartless because of my political views

I am beyond tired of being painted as heartless because of my political views. I am not uncaring because I believe able bodied people should work, or at least try to find a job. With unemployment at a 50 year low and the economy booming, jobs are available. And, it is no secret that self sufficiency gives people pride, confidence, and a degree of independence. So, contrary to the liberal spin on the newest Trump "welfare reform", the modest changes to the current system are a positive step to giving able bodied recipients (without dependents) the incentive to stand on their own two feet. Nobody will go hungry. All that is required is to take a job, if one is not available you must, take some retraining, perform community service or prove you are looking for work. Must I remind everyone that Pres. Clinton did the same thing with overwhelming suggestions and broad support.
