Gun Owners Not Welcome at the Wynn’s!



By Elmer Whittaker 





I had a late start playing poker and it was already close to midnight on Saturday July 30, 2016 when I called into the Wynn’s Poker Room to have my name put on the waiting list for a poker game. At around 0:15 am Sunday morning I arrived at the Wynn’s Poker Room and automatically sought and stop by the security guard stationed at the entrance of the poker room where they routinely search all bags and suitcases brought into the poker room for inspection.

America’s Political Oligarchy



By Elmer Whittaker

I’m not an all knowing oracle nor do I have any classified information that is not available to everyone.

Oppression, Exploitation and Injustices in America

By Elmer Whittaker


From the Native American tribes and the black African slaves over the Chinese who paved the railroads way west with their lives, over Irish and Italian immigrants over the Jim Crow Laws, the KKK and the lynching of supposedly free black citizens, to the Japanese internment camps; From the pioneer days of the lawless west, the Mexicans, the child labor at the expense of education and childhood to the poverty wages without any sort of insurance or healthcare working in intolerable conditions to the sweat shops filled with women who were denied almost any rights, this Nation was not only a questionable and supposedly “shinning” example of democracy but also a shocking warning that greed, lack of compassion and ruthlessness, can and does bring out the worst in unscrupulous people.

The Trouble with Firearms at VON’S


by Elmer Whittaker
 

Some months ago late at night on my way home I stopped by at the VON’S Supermarket here in Las Vegas to pick up some groceries, just as I have been frequently doing off and on for the past 20 years carrying my firearm openly in its holster on my hip.

The Proposed Robin Hood Tax


By Elmer Whittaker 

Ok, so here is my simple minded take on the proposed "Robin Hood Tax". 

I have been buying products online for many year. In fact while living in Arizona I even had a business selling products online. Unless I was selling within the State of Arizona, I was not required to collect sales tax.

By Elmer Whittaker 

On Friday March 15, 2013 Las Vegas Assemblyman Joe Hogan (D) introduced a bill to decriminalize marijuana to the Nevada State Assembly. Assemblyman Joe Hogan (D) not only cited societal benefits and the legalization of marijuana for medical purposes in his bill, but stretched the remarkable medical benefits of the plant.

Con-trails vs. Chem-trails

By Elmer Whittaker



It would be wonderful if the question of chemtrails could be answered as simple as con-trails dissipate immediately while chem-trails hang around. Unfortunately, this is not quite accurate.
