    A reality television star who has made a career out of cutting deals with average citizens decried the "insanity" of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders's presidential campaign. Pawn Stars host Rick Harrison defended capitalism and backed hard work as the key to success during his second appearance at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Friday. "Bernie Sanders wants to tax me at 90%," Harrison said during a question-and-answer session after his 10-minute speech at the event in National Harbor, Maryland. "Why would I want to open up a business if I'm not going to make any money?" Sanders, a socialist, is...

    Rick Harrison, chief honcho on TV's hit show "Pawn Stars" appeared for an hour's chat with Mark Levin on tonight's edition of "Life, Liberty & Levin", scheduled to be replayed in about an hour at 1:00AM EDT Monday morning on the Fox News Channel. The discussion covered a wide range of topics, starting with Harrison's background; it turns out that as well-informed and knowledgeable as he is, he never was schooled beyond the ninth grade, with most of his learning coming via self-education. Levin and Harrison spent much time talking about the "insanity of government". Although he doesn't approve of...

    Now that there are more than a dozen hats in the ring on the Republican side of the election and several lining up on the other side, I have chosen my favorite: Marco Rubio. I learned a long time ago that you don’t need to agree with a candidate 100 percent of the time, but if you find one you agree with most of the time who speaks well, has knowledge and is for business, genuine and electable, you may have found just the person you’d like to see run the USA and take us to a better place. That...

    I’ve been watching Pawn Stars for a while now and I love the show. I’ve sat for hours in front of the TV watching rerun after rerun until I think I’ve just about seen them all. Watching Rick Harrison and hearing all the stuff he knows is great too, I mean the guy is no slouch. Tonight Rick Harrison was on Mark Levin’s radio show said he had a great idea to film out in Southern California at the Glamis Sand Dunes. He’d be employing around 100 or so people to film the show and had all kinds of ideas...

    “Pawn Stars” and porn pics apparently don’t mix. Gold and Silver Pawn Shop employee Olivia Black was reportedly fired from the store after nude photos of her surfaced online. “Well s**t....I was just fired,” the 27-year-old posted on Facebook. Black then posted a link to a Radar Online article about her dismissal that states her firing came after photos were printed in the National Enquirer that revealed her racy past. Black reportedly worked for the soft-core porn website SuicideGirls.com back in 2008 before she started working at the pawn shop about a year ago. But it seems she has no...

    So which is your favorite show? Pawn Stars or Hardcore Pawn? Personally I have to go with the latter because it comes closer to reflecting the grim reality of what I've seen of the pawn business, namely a lot of really nasty customers. And for those of you who think that Les Gold and his family are too hard on his customers, look at who he has to deal with. My favorite scene is when the jerk who looked like a Cabbage Patch Doll tried to sell his Cabbage Patch Doll to Les while cursing him out and whining about...

    There are over 300 million people in America. Barack Obama attracted nearly 70 million votes in 2008. HBO has almost 30 million subscribers. And yet... Less than 10% of those subscribers bothered to tune into one of the most hyped movies in the history of television. Glitzy, glamorous premieres, all kinds of free publicity through the cable news outlets, controversy galore, and yet "Pawn Stars" kicked its ass. Washington Post: One massive marketing and GOP-undies-bunching campaign later, the unveiling of HBO’s Sarah Palin flick, “Game Change,” attracted 2.123 million viewers Saturday night at 9. HBO says “Game Change” brought in the...

    HENRICO, VA (WWBT) – NBC12 has uncovered one of those stories that makes you think: "How in the world does that happen?!" A truck filled with President Obama's podiums and audio equipment was stolen in Henrico just days before his visit to Chesterfield. We confirmed an investigation with the U.S. Defense Department. There are still a lot of questions. The biggest one being did the thieves intentionally target the President's truck or did they take advantage of a crime of opportunity and give a big "uh-oh" when they saw what was inside. When you see President Obama speak, there is...
