It's absolutely fucked, and completely anti-democratic.

These Dems need to pull their fucking heads out of their asses and start doing the same, Gavin Newsom has been talking about redistricting California in the same manner.

The civil war in that damn country never ended and they're now paying for not properly punishing the Confederacy for all their bullshit.

Multiple Kentucky Whiskey Distilleries File for Bankruptcy

Quote:
Kentucky's storied whiskey business is facing significant difficulties, with a number of distilleries filing for bankruptcy amid mounting debt, falling demand and uncertain global trade conditions.

Lisa Hawkins of the The Distilled Spirits Council of the United States told Newsweek: "This has been an extremely difficult time for distillers across the country who are dealing with increased production costs, a slowdown in spirits sales in the U.S. marketplace, and a significant disruption to spirits exports due to threat of tariffs and retaliation related to ongoing trade disputes.

"In fact, the majority of provinces in Canada, the U.S. spirits sector's second largest export market, continues to keep American spirits products off store shelves. As President [Donald] Trump continues to negotiate trade agreements with other countries, ensuring permanent zero-for-zero tariffs on distilled spirits with our major trading partners will give U.S. distilleries, large and small, a much-needed boost by providing them with the stability and certainty they need to plan for the future."

...Interesting.

Dean Cain, the actor who played Superman back in the day on the TV show Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, is joining ICE.

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's TEMU Superman working for ICE!!

For the record, I think that Henry Cavill was a better actor for Superman on the movie screen compared to Dean Cain on the small TV screen.


https://www.cnn.com/2025/08/07/enter...tion-intl-scli

Former Superman actor Dean Cain has revealed that he’s joining the ranks of the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency, showing his support for US President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown.

The comic book hero that Cain portrayed in the 1990s television show “Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman” might have been an immigrant himself, but it seems the actor has a more hardline view on foreign arrivals to the United States.

In an interview with Fox News Wednesday, Cain revealed that he decided to join the agency after sharing one of ICE’s recruitment videos on social media the day before.

“I’m actually… a sworn deputy sheriff and a reserve police officer – I wasn’t part of ICE, but once I put that (the recruitment video) out there and you put a little blurb on your show, it went crazy,” Cain told Fox News host Jesse Watters. “So now I’ve spoken with some officials over at ICE and I will be sworn in as an ICE agent ASAP.”

Fun Fact about Dean Cain: He's half Japanese and his Japanese side of his family were placed in internment camps during WWII yet his (absentee) father still opted to serve in the US Military after his release.

So the summary is that Dean Cain, like most Conservatives, is a shit stain of a human being.

honestly no one wants your money at vegas.

Corp business are the one sponsoring huge trade shows - literally millions.
Then you also got the multiple billionaires trying to spend millions gaming in private.

Us trying to enjoy a weekend and spend only 1000 in 4 days is nothing to them.

I don't think this is true. Why would Vegas build so many hotels if they didn't want the plebs to go there?

We're like the Walmart of Vegas, they still need us to pad their bottom line.

Revenue is down 30% and they are taking out ads crying about it, pushing articles in mainstream news outlets. They most definitely are missing the 500k visitors spending $1000.
That said also I’ve never spent less than 1k/day when I’ve been to vegas

ive only been to vegas once, like 15 years ago. it was kinda cool but already expensive af back then. if i went again i would just walk down the strip a few times and have most of my fun in old vegas where the roulette tables don't have 000's and blackjack pays 3 to 2 not 6 to 5. no wonder ppl aren't going to vegas anymore.

DC is fine, I was there last summer, anywhere tourists and government workers go is basically nicer than any Canadian city.

Bunch of ghetto blacks shooting each other in the inner suburbs and Orangeatang calls in the Nat Guard. Betacha 1000 Trumpbucks he's not going even think of pulling this shit in Memphis or Birmingham, Alabama.

Cheeto sending the National Guard to Washington DC is all part of his playbook.

Distract Americans’ attention from the Epstein files. Cheeto is trying for creating something different for the news cycle.

Oh, so now all of a sudden the media is working with government to distract people?

Where was this sentiment during BLM and COVID?

Anyone want to explain why Antifa were wilding out during COVID / BLM and burning D.C. and, so far, they're completely absent now that Trump is taking over D.C.?

Where did they go?

I'm not a big gambler, I basically went to Vegas for the heat. It was a cheap place to go for some hot weather. Past 15 years, I've basically traded Vegas for Waikiki... not any cheaper but it's more relaxing and the other tourists are less douchey

So Trump has deployed the National Guard in Washington DC and has taken over the police force, all while nothing had really been happening there.

What the fuck does he have planned?

UAPs / Aliens are next along with more Israel bullshit. Anyone seen any good movies lately? Trump is so boring now.

Flooding the zone has worked extremely well since Trump returned to office. It is really quite disappointing.

Trump, Carney, Trudeau, Obama... they're all globalist elites.

The decline is being managed in good hands! Our "leaders" are just the customer service agents of the actual behind-the-scenes system.

When you really think about it... damn... they're doing a pretty good job in some ways. Most 9-5's are struggling but still comfortable and entertained enough to get up and go to work every day!
