FEDs Target Las Vegas Businessman Rick Saga After He Exposed Nevada State Money Laundering Scheme The founding and growth of Las Vegas is part of the American story. Colorful figures abound, and many are etched into exhibits in the city’s Mob Museum. From the early 1940s into the early 1980s, the mob ruthlessly shaped the city’s image, fighting for power and money for approximately 40 years. Now, the hundreds of millions of dollars made by the mob in Las Vegas are insignificant in comparison to what occurs across the country in government and political fraud annually.

Guardian writer Chris Stein says do not expect the lock-step Republican Party to find it’s spine and wholly disown it’s MAGA king in time for the November midterms — but you can expect a smattering of GOP adherents to break away as a matter of political survival.“The wrath of Donald Trump has kept congressional Republicans in line for much of his second term thus far,” said Stein. “But as the November midterm elections draw closer, the president’s allies in the Senate and House of Representatives appear increasingly willing to defy a president who appears to have asked lawmakers for too much in some areas and too little in others, all while the public sours on his administration.”Stein points out that in both chambers, tiny enclaves of Republicans have joined with Democrats to advance resolutions requiring that Trump receive Congress’s permission before continuing hostilities against Iran. Republican dissidents in the House, he said, have helped Democrats pass another round of aid for U.S. ally Ukraine in its effort to repel an invasion by Trump’s friend Russian leader Vladimir Putin. Other joined Democrats in an effort to protect Haitians from deportation. In the Senate, a host of Republican senators stepped up to give Trump’s nominee for director of national intelligence, Bill Pulte, “a cold reception.”Republicans do not disagree with Trump unless they want the tiny MAGA turnout in Republican primaries to replace them with Trump’s chosen puppet, but Stein says Republicans “appear bedeviled by the complications of their three-seat majority in the Senate, and historically slim hold on the House.”“While they managed to enact a major domestic policy bill less than six months after Trump’s inauguration, the president has made few serious asks of Congress in the months since, leaving lawmakers to navigate shutdowns instigated by Democrats in protest of his policies and the brouhaha over the government’s investigation into convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein,” said Stein.And Trump “has made no apologies for his apparent disengagement with the concerns of congressional Republicans,” said Stein, reminding readers that the president announced at a recent cabinet meeting that: “I don’t care about the midterms.”However, the GOP does. Trump’s approval ratings are historically low and Democrats are leading Republicans on the generic ballot. Gas prices are high and polls show voters believe Trump’s entirely voluntary war on Iran is afflicting them with inflation.Those trends may indeed have been motivating defections by some lawmakers, particularly Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Reps. Tom Barrett (R-Mich.) and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Penn.) But if Republicans are looking for a sudden rash of independence to save their reputation with voters in the midterms, they should temper their enthusiasm, said Doug Heye, a former House Republican leadership aide. Instances of Republicans standing up to the president “may be less significant than they appear,” and thus unlikely to convince voters the party can act as any sort of mediating influence over the president.“What does it say about Trump’s hold on the party that 1.8 percent of the House Republican conference voted against him? I’d submit nothing,” he said.
General Eisenhower’s words provide a good example to emulate in our next 250 years.
The plan to seize 50% of AI firms' stock violates the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment. It would also create dangerous government control over a vital industry, in ways similar to Trump's policies.
Up until the last minute, Democrats in ultra blue California were on the ropes in the governor’s race and local elections, with boisterous Trump-style candidates making huge strides with populist arguments.But then the long, dark shadow of President Donald Trump fell over angsty voters, and weekend news reports reveal something changed. The New York Time reports this has plenty to do with the violent thrashing of a fading MAGA star.The California governor’s race was in question for embattled Democrats due to high inflation and state taxes, and there was no guarantee that Democrat Xavier Becerra would advance to the general election for California governor. But on Friday, Becerra surpassed Republican former Fox News host Steve Hilton. And s of Friday evening, the Times reports he was leading the race with 26.7 percent of the vote, with Hilton at 26.4 percent. These numbers did not reflect the scrum preceding poll results in the weeks leading up to the vote.Meanwhile, Democratic Los Angeles City Councilmember Nithya Raman is closing in on Trump-endorsed reality TV personality Spencer Pratt, cutting his lead to about 3 percentage points, according to the LA Times, as both vie for second place in the mayoral primary.This breathing room for Democrats — however potentially fleeting — should not be so easy to come by, say critics, with California’s burgeoning homelessness and taxes. But it appears Trump-style personality and reality star-pizzazz may not be enough to easily carry a candidate over the finish line after all.Political scientist Jonathan Bernstein told the New York Times on Friday that Trump’s reality-star demeanor is deflating into empty showmanship before voters thanks to Trump’s personal failure to deliver on his own political promises.“Trump’s main politically relevant skill is that he’s actually a really good reality TV star. He’s very good at grabbing attention,” said Bernstein. “ … [But] Trump is an inept president, so he mostly squanders the attention he gets — and at least half the time, he winds up drawing attention to things that don’t help him at all.”“We never know what’s really going on in a president’s head, but it seems to me that Trump thinks winning elections is like winning a prize — the United States of America — to do with as he pleases. But what actually happens in elections is that the voters hire you to do a job. It’s a job with some 340 million bosses. And like all jobs, it has constraints and obligations.”And judging by the horrific polling numbers Trump has been turning out for most of 2026, voters are not approving of his job.“Trump, as far as I can tell, just doesn’t see that. Which, among other things, seems to mean that he actually gets worse at all of this as he goes along,” said Bernstein.Couple that with a few Trump endorsements of GOP candidates in a state that generally hates him, and Democrats appear to be finding an edge that should not easily exist.
