Texas Deserves Better Than Ken Paxton
A WORD FROM THE CHAIRMAN John Cash Smith Orange County, Texas Democratic Party Ken Paxton wants Texans to promote him.

Some of the most damaging accusations against Paxton came from Republicans, conservative lawyers and senior employees whom Paxton himself had entrusted with enforcing the law.

Corporate Propaganda and The Death of Brian Thompson: A Response - The AIM Network
In the wake of the murder of United Health CEO Brian Thompson, the New York Times (NYT) has come forth with a remarkable piece of propaganda designed to garner sympathy for Mr Thompson and his family. I, for one, find it very difficult to muster sympathy, good will and empathy for this ghoul who made billions of dollars in profit every year by denying health insurance claims. Let us be clear: insurance is people paying into a pool of money, thereby reducing individual costs.

Catrin’s creating sustainable practices
‘From the outset it may seem that a role in Supply Chain is simply to purchase things for the business and to be fair, this is how I (very briefly) describe my role to friends or family who are not sure what a role in procurement or supply chain involves,’ Catrin says. ‘But at the crux of it, we enable the business to deliver critical services and ensure there is steady flow of water when you turn on the tap or flush your toilet.

From busboy to the Gaming Hall of Fame: A conversation with Mike Rumbolz
To say Mike Rumbolz has come a long way in his gaming-industry career defines understatement. In a business brimming with remarkable success stories and meteoric flameouts, in some ways his personal journey ranks among the most improbable. He wasn’t the scion of a pioneer green-felt family, but you might easily conclude he was raised in the racket.
First Came the Exposé. Then Came the Execution Original
LAS VEGAS – Veteran newspaper reporter Jeff German spent four decades breaking big stories in a city dripping in scandal and blood-red intrigue. As a columnist and investigative bulldog for two Las Vegas dailies, German’s byline lived on the front page. From covering mob hits and public corruption, to the Balzacian melodrama of the Strip’s casino power elite, German’s reporting was a constant presence.
Marchant’s secretary of state candidacy is no laughing matter
It’s almost too easy to write off Republican Secretary of State candidate Jim Marchant as Nevada’s political Gump. Marchant has found a way to rise in a state GOP under the spell of Donald Trump largely by never wavering from the former president’s every deception and especially his big lie about widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election.
Las Vegas: Operating Engineers ask Sisolak for help after getting cold shoulder from Resorts World

Will this be the year the gaming industry clears the air on smoking?
There is much to celebrate in the gaming industry these days. From the easing of pandemic restrictions to the proliferation and popularity of legalized sports betting, success stories are abundant out there. But there’s still a haze on the horizon. At a time most businesses have been smoke-free for years, either by government edict or healthful enlightenment, casinos in Nevada still let customers light up. I suspect it has a little to do with tradition and a lot to do with competition.
Accuser in Resorts World Las Vegas casino inquiry takes a big hit in lawsuit
Controversial businessman and gambler Brandon Sattler placed himself in the middle of a due-diligence debate at Resorts World Las Vegas after giving a deposition in April, in which he accused the company’s president Scott Sibella of drug use and alleged a convicted felon owned a piece of a popular taco shop on the property.

Stupak’s dream of a prosperous north end of the Strip is coming true
The late casino maverick Bob Stupak had big dreams for what he liked to think of as the north end of the Strip. As with just about everything associated with Stupak’s roller-coaster life and career, you had to look closely at the fine print of his vision. Stupak, who died in 2009 at age 67, defined the Strip as extending all the way to his gaudy Vegas World casino and his crowning glory, the 1,149-foot Stratosphere Tower. Technically, that’s in the City of Las Vegas and not on the Strip at all.
At Resorts World, this taco stand still has plenty of Vegas chips
With a high degree of confidence, last week Resorts World Las Vegas issued a statement flatly denying allegations that a convicted felon owned a piece of the Tacos El Cabrón restaurant located in the Strip’s newest casino kingdom. The character in question, David Stroj, was accused in a 2015 federal indictment of heading what the FBI called a $10 million international gambling ring that laundered its profits through California card rooms and Las Vegas casinos.

Sports betting king Walters resurfaces in insightful pre-Super Bowl interview
Sports betting legend Billy Walters makes headlines wherever he goes. Sometimes it’s on the sports pages, sometimes the news pages.

That changed on Super Bowl Sunday in an interview with Brent Musburger on the VSiN.com sports betting network.

Super Bowl in Los Angeles provides learning opportunity for Las Vegas
The December announcement that Las Vegas and its shimmering Allegiant Stadium had been chosen to host Super Bowl LVIII in 2024 was widely heralded as a boon for the economy and yet another sign that the city long snubbed by professional team sports had at last made the grade. That’s something to cheer about, of course. It promises to provide a big economic boost and few places in the world rival Las Vegas when it comes to overdoing a party.
Kizzang fraud: High rolling Las Vegas hustler Alexander gets more free time before sentencing

Alexander, 51, on Wednesday saw his sentencing date moved to at least Aug. 16 in U.S. District Judge Andrew Carter Jr.’s courtroom in New York’s Southern District.

With billions in the balance, lawsuit against Las Vegas Sands in Macau may finally reach day of reckoning
The long, bruising litigation pitting Asian American Entertainment Corp. against Las Vegas Sands in Macau appears to be finally running its course after a two-decade battle over a soured partnership that stretches all the way back to the beginning of the casino gold rush in the former Portuguese protectorate. Unless there is another delay – a big “if” in this protracted legal battle — closing arguments in the case are scheduled for Jan. 21 in Macau’s Court of First Instance.
Gambler’s bankruptcy fraud lawsuit gets sticky
High-rolling gambler Brandon Sattler continues to take big hits in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Las Vegas in an ongoing fraud litigation filed by attorneys for jilted investors in his defunct SattCom Video, LLC.

Weisenmiller, that Sattler conned them into investing in SattCom Video with a claim that his company had the inside track to install hundreds of televisions in casino-resorts.
Loved or hated, Harry Reid played an important role in in protecting casino-industry interests

Former Trump true believer reminds us there’s life after the Big Lie
Flanked by his attorney, with the glare of a CNN camera’s lights accentuating the furtive movements of his eyes, forever MAGA promoter Dustin Stockton made for an unlikely truth-teller Tuesday as he answered Anderson Cooper’s questions for the better part of 10 minutes. Some of his friends from the world of competitive poker might have called those ocular twitches a tell, an unintentional sign that he was bluffing or at least unsure how to play the hand he’d been dealt.
Books for gamblers in season
In August, when Caesars Entertainment spinoff VICI Properties announced its $17 billion acquisition of MGM Growth Properties, it was yet another reminder of how much the great Las Vegas casino poker game has grown over the years.
